My King System
Chapter 48 - Escape

[Open inventory]

Yuki pulled out "King's Crown" from his inventory and placed it on his head as he began the next part of his plan.

"Serve your king!"

The white liquid began to pour out from the crown and would eventually morph into Meurig.

"Is it safe for you to be using the crown in broad daylight?" Meurig asked as he looked at the metal bars which acted as a cage so that Yuki couldn't escape.

"It's fine, don't worry about it. It's time for you to act. Before you leave, know that the master of 'INFINITE HOTEL' will have guards around him for protection."

"Even if he didn't hire them, the kingdom would as he is a large contributor to the kingdom's economy," said Yuki.

"Got it, what about the security guard upstairs?" Meurig asked.

"Now that you mention it, he does seem to be a problem."

"Just run past him, he'll see your shadowy figure and will assume that you're the monster which destroyed the city," Yuki said without an ounce of remorse in his eyes.

"Whatever you say I guess," Meurig sighed.

"Great!" said Yuki as he began to set his eyes on the cell bars.

His grabbed hold of two of the bars and with his raw strength began pushing them apart which made a loud creaking sound.

"Is that normal?" Meurig asked.

"Quick heads up, you might not realize it since you spent so much time in the dungeon, but this is kid's play for anyone over level 2."

"Don't accidentally over do it," Yuki warned.

"Activate ability: Tracker" said Meurig as he began to focus.

He closed his eyes and began to stand still. However instead of seeing nothing like a regular person when they close their eyes, the precise location of the man Yuki was looking for appeared in his head. Meurig also knew how to precisely get there as if he had done so many times before.

"I'll be leaving now," Meurig said his goodbye.

As Meurig ran upstairs, he was spotted by the warden of the prison. The abnormal shadow figure scared the security guard and made him freeze in fear. Meurig ignored the man and left to go look for his target. However, right as Meurig exited the building, the warden, who was the only person in the prison left to inform Camri about what had just happened.

Seeing the opportunity, Yuki himself began to leave. As he reached the entrance to the prison, he was stopped by the person who had been pestering him since Yuki had left the dungeon.

"And where do you think you're going," Camri asked.

"I saw that terrifying monster and was going to chase after it."

"Being one of only 6 level 2 players within the entire kingdom, I feel that it's my duty to protect and serve my homeland," Yuki began to spout lies.

"That doesn't give you the authority to exit your cell, we already have 5 others who are just as capable as you," Camri commanded.

"Never-mind, forget what I said," Yuki sighed.

[Open: profile]

[Player: Yuki Kaito]

[Level 7: 9200/80000]

"That's got to be a lie! You were merely a level 2 player a few days ago!" Camri tried to make up a story to fit his ideals.

[Activate Skill: Faker]

Right in front of his eyes, Yuki's stats began to change.

[Player: Yuki Kaito]

[Level 1: 0/10000]

"How are you doing that?" Camri asked as he began to move further away from Yuki.

"It's a skill you gain at level 5, it's over Camri, you can't win against me," said Yuki.

"But how? You had spent 3 weeks in the dungeon since you were stuck on stage 1," Camri asked.

"First of all, how do you know about the stage system in the dungeon?" Yuki asked curiously.

Camri began to regain his confidence.

"Well unlike you, we had placed all 5 of the players who are currently level 2 in the dungeon all at once. If you had read the instructions in front of the dungeon gate, you would have known that you are supposed to bring a raid party with you to the dungeon," Camri began to explain.

"Oh so that's why the difficulty of the dungeon stages did not make sense," Yuki thought to himself.

"Unlike you, who spent 3 whole weeks inside the first stage of the dungeon and couldn't even manage to complete it. The raid team we sent in completed it within 1 week and even managed to gather a few information on the second state as well as manage to get to level 2 each, so you better back off before I call on them," Camri began to get cocky.

"Well it does make sense as to why they had to retreat. Since the exp is divided between the participants, the more members there are, the less exp there is for each player," Yuki mumbled.

Consumed by delusion, Camri continued to spout nonsense.

"I scared you so much that you can't speak properly can you?" Camri began to mock Yuki.

Yuki finally turned his attention back at Camri.

Yuki instantaneously moved closer to Camri. So much so that it looked as if he had teleported to the naked eye.

"This isn't a joke, you better keep quiet about this or I'll destroy the entire kingdom," Yuki threatened.

"Well it's too late for that now. My ability just happens to be one which allows me to communicate with people telepathically," Camri began to laugh hysterically as the 5 level 2 players began to approach the prison entrance.

Yuki sighed.

"Camri, I want you to watch what's about to go down," Yuki instructed.

Yuki exited the prison entrance and began approaching Katsumi, Jobon, Rui and the other two players from the neighboring kingdom.

"You've done enough damage to the kingdom criminal!" Jobon yelled at Yuki.

"Always trying to play the role of a hero, how sad," Yuki said as he looked at all of them with pity in his eyes.

Yuki seemingly disappeared. Before any of them could look around and replace him, their eyesight began to get blurry. They all felt weak and as if they were falling asleep.

"Sweet dreams," Yuki said as he delivered a swift chop to each of their necks, effectively knocking them out.
