MMORPG : Ancient WORLD

"Adventurer, I will not recommend you try to run away because even if you somehow left this room, forty guards with strength equal to mine are circling this hotel, waiting to welcome you." The Royal guard said, standing at the door entrance blocking the only exit.

\'I don\'t plan on going to jail today.\' Alex thought as he sat on the floor with his hands in the air.

"We both know the scroll I used was not an attack type because the mana it gathered was enough to destroy this hotel and all the other nearby buildings," Alex said to divert the attention of the Royal guard.

"Adventurer, you need to decide whether you want to come willingly or you want me to drag you out with force." The guard said, still standing at the room entrance.

\'This encounter would serve as a good life lesson for me.\' Alex thought as he clenched his fist with all his strength and smashed them on the almost destroyed wooden floor.

"BOOOMMMM"

The wooden floor was already on the brink of collapse, and after a powerful slam by Alex, it collapsed without any resistance.

"BOOMMMMMMM"

Alex, with the destroyed wooden floor, crashed into a VIP Room on the second floor, and without looking around, he quickly ran toward the door using the dash skill.

After exiting the room, Alex instantly used the invisibility skill, and as he sprinted through the corridor, his body slowly turned invisible.

"I should have told him about Lady Fianna." The royal guard Alex left behind mumbled as he turned around and left the messed up room, not chasing after Alex.

-----------------

\'This whole hotel is filled with Royal guards.\' Alex thought as he carefully walked toward the hotel exit.

"Mr.Hidden One, you insult the Royal family if you think you could leave without getting caught by using such a low-level illusion." Alex heard the alluring voice of a female as he was about to leave the hotel.

\'At least I tried.\' Alex thought, looking at the breathtaking beauty standing at the hotel entrance looking at him.

\'She could be a Fox Demi-human with her uncanny charm.\' Alex thought as he canceled the invisibility spell.

"I think the price wants something from me, so please lead the way so we can have a face-to-face discussion," Alex said as he walked toward the lady.

After seeing the royal guard, Alex knew he was in big trouble as a prince must have sensed the disturbance caused by the unsealing scroll and sent his guard to capture him to get the item he unsealed.

The disturbance caused by the unsealing scroll was a big trouble beacon guaranteed to attract the attention of strong NPCs, and In the Ancient World, where strength was above everything, strong NPCs robbing players of their good items was not anything unusual.

"Mr.Hidden One, You are such an intelligent person." The lady said with an excited voice.

"Please follow me."

\'The Prince is not even in the hotel.\' Alex thought, seeing the lady exiting the hotel.

Alex used the cloak to hide his face before leaving the hotel because he knew a group of players was bound to be gathered after seeing the commotion caused by the Royal guards.

After Alex left the hotel, he saw a massive crowd of NPCs and Players circling a luxury carriage that six Royal Knights were protecting.

\'It can\'t be an ordinary prince if six of these anomalies are his bodyguards.\' Alex thought, seeing six Royal knights with red and golden armor.

All Royal guards were personal bodyguards of Royal family members, but Royal knights were different as they were the best warrior of the Royal family and only deployed for very important tasks.

\'I hope he is a member of the Gold family.\'

\'Let\'s meet this prince.\' Alex thought as he walked toward the carriage right behind the lady.

-----------

"Who is that Player?" A random player from the crowd said, seeing Alex walking toward the carriage and no Royal guard stopping him.

"He must be a big shot. I can\'t even see his name using appraisal skill."

"What did he do to make a royal family member personally come to meet him?" Someone asked

"Big Brother, Please Let me come with you. I will give you Two Thousand gold coins." A Girl shouted out loud to attract Alex\'s attention.

"Idiot Woman, You think a player like him, who a royal family member came to meet, will need two thousand gold coins." A player ridiculed her.

Alex didn\'t pay any attention to the shouting players as he was busy thinking of a plan to get out of this mess without losing the [SS] Rank legacy.

\'If the prince is not from the gold Royal family, things could get troublesome for me to handle.\'

Alex didn\'t know if the prince had good intentions or bad, and brainstorming for a plan was useless without knowing his motives.

"The Prince is waiting for you inside the carriage."

After getting confirmation from the lady, Alex entered the carriage without saying anything, as he wanted to deal with the unwanted situation quickly.

----------------

\'I was hoping for the prince to be a member of the gold family, but this is the best-case scenario.\' Alex thought after recognizing the prince.

"Mr.Hidden One, Let me start by introducing myself."

"My name is Darius Gold, and I am the first Prince of Gold Kingdom," Darius proudly introduced his name.

The First Prince has a handsome appearance with long golden hair and a natural king-like aura that most people will get intimidated by when meeting him.

Alex was delighted to meet with the first prince as he was one of the best prince he could meet in such a messed up situation.

\'I was planning to meet the Gold Royal Family after acquiring their ancestor legacy, but using that plan right now is a good decision.\'

Alex had a plan for the Gold Royal family in the future that he decided to use right now to get out of his present messed-up situation and still gain the planned benefits.

\'If I handled this situation right, I would get out of this situation and still gain the benefits I want from the Royal Gold family.\' Alex thought as he revised the plan in his mind.

"I think you are intelligent enough to know that you are in a tough situation, and if you don\'t act according to my wishes, this tough situation will become terrible for you," Darius said with a non-threatening smile.

\'He is as cunning as I remembered from my previous life.\' Alex thought as he remembered some of the achievements Darius had accomplished in his previous life.

The First prince Darius is a genius both in the magic and business world making him one of the most recognized people on the whole human continent.

He is a cunning man that will do anything to achieve what he desires, and because of that, he doesn\'t have a good reputation among players, but he is still the best prince Alex could meet in this situation.

Darius was the best prince to meet because he was reasonable and not self-centered like some other Royal princes that Alex knew about.

The [GOLD Family] [Silver Family] [Copper Family] ruled the Gold Kingdom from ancient times, and in every generation, the best talent among the younger generation from the three families was chosen and groomed to be the next king.

The Three Merchant families had a common ancestor who established the gold kingdom many centuries ago, and to this date, the royal families have never fought for the kingdom\'s throne because of the rules made by their founding ancestors.

The Gold family ruled the Gold Kingdom from the day it was established, but never once in history did they break the tradition of choosing the best talent from the three families as the king.

The Gold family never needed to break the tradition set by their ancestor as they produced the best talent among the three families every generation making them the reigning supreme family that ruled the kingdom every generation.

In this generation, the gold family\'s sovereignty was broken as the Third prince of the Silver Family was the best talent among the younger generation making him the chosen candidate to be groomed as the next king of the gold kingdom.

Even though Darius was the First prince with the best talent in the Gold Family, he was still not next in line for the kingdom throne, but it was not a problem for him as he was far more focused on something more important than the kingdom throne.

Darius was obsessed with his Ancestor\'s legacy, and Alex knew how to acquire the legacy, and he planned to use the legacy to get out of this situation.

"Mr.Hidden One, Place your hand on this crystal and tell me why you used a Rank five unsealing scroll?" Darius said as he took out a golden crystal from his space ring.

\'I was expecting a truth crystal.\' Alex thought as he placed his hand on the truth crystal, not showing any resistance.

\'Let\'s hope he won\'t be stubborn and accept my offer without creating unnecessary trouble for me.\'

"I used the unsealing scroll to unseal a [SS] Rank Legacy Item," Alex replied truthfully.
