《The King’s Silhouette》Chapter : 1 Fateful Night
Advertisement
The man’s clothing was simple, looking like in his twenties, about 5’10 Ft tall, wearing a black shirt, very neat. Around his waist a belt inset with ten pieces of black pearls, black hair hanging halfway down to his shoulders, facial features considered handsome, standing on top of a mountain which was covered with snow. At the corners of his mouth, he wore a slight smile. He is “Rai!”
Some Years Ago
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In a certain port city, dawn was falling as a young boy, looked like in his mid-teens, wearing a white shirt and black jeans, and went inside a big house with a beautiful garden. He went straight up the stairs and into a room. He walked towards the bed and lays down while gazing at the window. This young boy’s name is “Rai”.
–Sigh-
Can’t something good happen once in a while…
To Rai the life in this era was boring, everyday nothing but the same routine, wake up go to school, eat lunch, and do Part-time, same old stuff. He always wanted more from his life, always imagined: How was the life before technology was invented and, before that. How were the Humans living a thousand years ago?
After some time he started to think about the possibility of another world and life in it. What if there was a world with Dragons, Monsters and other Races, etc. He thirsted for adventure but in this modern era, there was no adventure but the same old things.
One night while he was sleeping, he heard a dignified voice in his mind “If you had the chance to live in another world, would you take it?”
He subconsciously replied “Yes!”
At that moment, the world was slowed down by leaps and bounds, a magic circle with a lot of words that humans would not be able to understand and lines and diagrams with weird shapes appeared above him and sucked him inside like a vortex.
Flying through a passage similar to Black Hole, he woke up by the pressure of it. When he opened his eyes he saw something he couldn’t believe, he was inside a tube-like passage covered with the pink and blue sky around him and it was fast, at a speed he couldn’t believe, but strangely he didn’t felt any air pressure from that speed.
So he calmed down and thought how this is possible, where am I, Why can’t I feel the pressure of this speed. WHAT IS GOING ON?!
Some time has passed and now he could see a planet in the distance, the vortex which he was in was connected to that planet. But the planet was still far and he couldn’t see clearly. As time passed by, he was getting closer and closer to the planet. He tried to focus on the planet and what he saw was astonishing for him.

He saw that the planet looked similar to Earth but it was much bigger, and what was more amazing than he could see something flying with scales and wings. At that moment his eyes were left wide open and a slight smile on his face. Yes, this is what he always wished to see, it was a DRAGON!
While he was getting close to the planet he began to look more into the planet and saw a yellow mist which covered the planet although not in that much quantity which one would be able to see clearly it was still an amazing sight for him.
As he got into the atmosphere of the planet he saw a Dragon flying around in the far distance, Glittering Waterfalls, and Humans fighting with Swords and using some kind of wizardry to beat Monsters in a Big Forest.
He noticed he didn’t feel any pain whatsoever when he entered the atmosphere of the planet he thought Maybe it’s because of the vortex I am in...
At that moment he saw a big City with a big Castle in the middle of it all. He saw that the city was divided up by walls that connected to lower districts and an outer wall that had a road that led to the ends of the Big Forest he saw. He focused more on the Wall which separated the districts and saw a bustling market with a lot of people going here and there.
He also noticed that there were some houses in the same area which was separated by the Wall from the middle area of the City, where there were beautiful houses and mansions with some exquisite-looking shops.
The Castle was divided into four parts the Middle which had a big door connecting to the City, the Second part of the Castle, which was located at the opposite side of the gate, and had a big garden connecting to the Middle part of the Castle. The Third Part of the Castle, which was located on the right side of the Middle part of the Castle it had a path-way, most of it was covered except a small Garden. The Fourth Part of the Castle, which was located on the left side of the Middle part of the Castle it looked identical to the Third part of the Castle.
He noticed that the pillar of Light or Vortex what he called was connected to right in the middle of the Castle. While the Pillar of Light was fast going there he noticed four other Pillars of Light/Vortex, which were also connected to the same spot of the Castle.

He thought could there be others like me? I hope they wanted a world like this as well.
And he was just so amazed by the sheer beauty of the sight; he couldn’t keep his expressions from showing the joy he had never felt and he thought: Now this is a world I was destined to be in.
He was headed straight for the Middle part of the Castle, he thought he would crash into the glass ceiling which looked like a snowflake, so he braced for impact and closed his eyes but thankfully, there was a hole in the ceiling from which the Pillar of Light went through.
When he landed, he opened his eyes and saw a beautiful girl with blonde hair in a weird white robe, about 5’2 Ft. tall with a beautiful figure, looked around her twenties, standing about 5 meters away, outside the boundaries of a weird circle with letters he couldn’t understand, and some drawings, he was standing on.
He turned around and saw a lot of people, some had weapons, some were wearing expensive-looking clothes, but then he saw an old man sitting on a throne, wearing a crown, he looked around his eighties. He was wearing a robe which was white with red and blue patterns, embellished with gems.
Standing on the left side of the throne was a beautiful girl with red hair, wearing a red gown with white outlines. She looked around her Mid-teens as well. With a beautiful skin and green eyes, he was mesmerized by her beauty.
While he was still looking at her, he heard some voices behind him so he turned around and saw four people, two girls, and two boys. They looked in their early teens and they were shaken up. One girl had slight tears in her eyes, while the others looked frightened. They did not know what was happening and were brought to that world against their will.
He walked towards them and said, “Hey, you guys okay?”
They looked at him and one of the boys said, “Who are you?”
He smiled and said “I am Rai; it’s nice to meet you guys. What are your names?”
The first boy replied “My name is Mathew... Mathew Mark.”
Seeing him the other boy replied, “Hi, my name is Caron Max.”
The first girl replied, “Umm Hey, my name is Lisa Holmes.”
The other girl replied, “Hello, my name is Millie Stark; it’s nice to meet you.”
He noticed that they were a little nervous so he replied with a slight laugh “Haha, it’s nice to meet you too Millie, Mathew, Caron, Lisa. Do you guys know what’s going on?”
Lisa replied, “We don’t, do you?”
Rai sighed and replied, “No, unfortunately, I don’t either, but it seems as we were teleported to another world.”
They replied simultaneously “ANOTHER WORLD?!”
While smiling he said, “Why don’t you guys tell me more about yourselves?”
---------------------------------------------------------------
After talking for some time, Rai noticed the people who were around the circle talking to each other and the man who was wearing a cloak glaring at them. He listened to their stories while observing their surroundings. He got to know a lot about the kids.
Lisa is from America. She is 12 and she has blonde hair and blue eyes. She is 4’2 Ft tall. Her father works at an I.T company.
Millie is from Australia, originally from Asia. She is 13 and she has brown hair and brown eyes. She is 4’5 Ft tall. Her father is an Architect.
Mathew is from London. He is 12 and has black hair and green eyes. He is 5 Ft tall. His father is a Captain in the Navy.
Caron is from South Africa. He is 14 and he has chestnut-colored hair and grey eyes. He is 5’1 Ft tall. His father works in Food Industry.
Rai looked at them with a sweet smile and said “Tell me, what you want to do? Stay here or go back to your families?”
Lisa replied, “Yes, please help me return to my father.”
Millie said, “Yeah, I want to return as well.”
Caron replied, “I agree, please help us get back.”
Mathew said, “Yes, I would like to go back home, But what about you Rai?”
Rai said, “I would like to stay here and explore this world with so many mysteries but don’t worry, I will make sure to send all of you back to your families…”
Rai turns around and face’s the throne and with a slight smile said
“Now then…”

McCrae) that begins prior to Worm and although it doesn't show straight away, the story is very AU.
