《Monarch of the Darkness》C2. Situation
Advertisement
"This... Is this really me? What the fuck is happening?" He was stupefied. All of the things that happened before were nothing compared to this.
Hayden touched his face. He looked handsome as he had short black hair with sharp eyebrows above his eyes. His facial structure was quite perfect, accompanied by a bit sharp jaw below his lips. In Hayden's eyes, one can see that he got a dark-brown pupil, but if one looks for too long, one can feel that there were some black layers on his pupil as if there was a black hole in it, making people feel hard to read about what he thinks in his mind.
An idea suddenly popped out from his head. He thought that he was reborn in another person's body. Well, whatever he felt blessed!! As he got his normal-looking face back on earth got replaced by such handsomeness.
Hayden felt happy inside. However, there was one other thing that was bothering him right now. He was wondering why he couldn't remember anything about the previous owner of the body's memories.
Time passed slowly while he was thinking, but it was no use. He couldn't remember a single thing.
As he was lost in thought, suddenly someone opened the door without knocking.
"H-Hayden? You've woken up! Thank goodness I was anxious about you!" Shouted a deep and old voice.
Hayden was startled and then stared at the person who came inside. He tried to keep calm but he couldn't because it was the first time he met someone in this new place.
Hayden was also afraid that this person doesn't understand what he wanted to say, therefore he felt a bit awkward.
"Eh..., hello Mister, you are?" Spoke Hayden politely.
Actually, deep inside Hayden was also quite relieved when he heard the old man called his name. Now he knew for sure that the previous owner of this body also got the same name as him. This was more than enough for him because it would definitely make his life a bit easier as he gets to know more people.

After hearing what Hayden had said. The old man was astonished as he realized that the young prince whom he knew didn't recognize him. Shortly afterward, he was suddenly lost in thought.
When the old man was thinking, Hayden stared at the old man in front of him. He was around 50 year old with a mature yet dignified appearance. His hair was white, short but tidy, accompanied by a pair of wise eyes. He also got a long sharp nose and a long white mustache beneath his nose. The most eye-catching thing was his appearance. It reminded Hayden of the butler character from the earth.
After some time, the old man clenched his right hand and then started speaking as he tried to suppress his emotion.
"Young Master, I am Nevarth, the head of the servant of the second prince mansion. I am the one who always takes care of your daily necessities and also the one who manages your mansion." Explained the old man slowly.
Hayden listened slowly, and shortly afterward, he was astonished.
"You said 'your' mansion? Uh, you mean my mansion? Does it mean that I was the second prince?" Asked Hayden in disbelief.
"Indeed, you are the second prince of Zenith kingdom."
Hayden was astounded, without a doubt, what a complicated situation. Not only was he being transferred to this world without warning, but also he got a new high position right now. A prince!! What a noble title. Before, he was only a university student with a monotonous routine and struggling life, but right now, he was a prince of the kingdom of Zenith. One can't even imagine how lucky he was.
Hayden remembered the time when he was still a university student back then on earth. He was already 20 year old and when he tried to recall clearly about his past, Hayden sighed because nothing interesting had happened before. Life in the university was monotonous and boring, plus the lesson given by the professor was so hard like hell. Therefore, he got nothing to do besides study every day. Well, he was a bit lucky that his comprehension was high but still in the university it didn't help much. Finally, now he got a chance to start a new life. Hayden felt excited and will definitely use this chance well!

Hayden smiled thinly, not long after he started thinking about the purpose of the one who sent him here. Time flows, but after that he sighed.
"Well, this is my new life right now, instead of worrying about useless things why don't I just accept and live as what I wanted to be in this new world," murmured Hayden. He stopped thinking and then started looking at Nevarth, who waited patiently in front of him. "Mister Nevarth, I understand the situation right now, everything will be alright, you don't need to worry too much about me," claimed Hayden.
Nevarth hesitated, but he realized that it was better not to force many kinds of things in a single moment. Therefore he sighed as he tried to calm down. After some time, he suddenly remembered something.
"Young master, her highness the princess told me that if you have woken up, I need to bring you to her immediately," spoke Nevarth politely.
"My sister..." Without overthinking, Hayden nodded and said. "Alright, lead the way."

I'm writing fiction. But I'm not a writer, I'm just a reader. :) P.s ------------------------------------------------- Story Progress: 1. Blurb is fulfilled on Chapter Three and Chapter Four 2. Story Arc One, The Savior is fulfilled on Story Arc Five 3. Yes, there is fighting scenes. Three Calamities have been Eliminated in Dandia -- The wide island. 4. The prologue is nearing to begin. 5. Too many conflicts. ------------------------------------------------- Past tense - When I just narrate a past without much actual actions. I mean like a news, or just telling or reporting the past. Present tense - Current event. And flashback with actions. I love flash fiction so world building is not on this story, like narrating a room, narrating a character's traits, etc. As possible, I want them to think, have their decision, etc. etc. etc. etc. Hallo guys, Help me locate my typos on Story Arc 5. I still don't want to edit Story Arc 1-4. I can't wait to reach story arc Chapter Six(I won't spoil). My outlines and very huge flowcharts are waiting. Sorry, about that, I can understand English without format so, each time I'm looking for typos I was hooked in my story and I didn't realize I forgot about them.
