Kira Vill was the prince of the kingdom Virellia, age : 12y and his beauty was unparelled and he was truly admirred,
similarly, Kurl Vill was the prince age : 14y, looks: average looking,
lisa vill and lexi vill princesses, both have age : 13y, looks: good looking,
.....
They all lived in a kingdom where walking in the path of dead was considered a sin no matter what and thats why today (one day before the system [which keep tracks of stats] will show all the royal heir's class seing affinity toward teh class)
.....
The meeting was fixed in which all the royal heirs, king and queen and other royals with high positions were called and as the all gathered and the king Thalor Vill who was sitted on the throne spoke,
King Thalor Vill :
"Tomorrow, the System will awaken in each of you," he said. "It will assign your class based on your natural affinity."
Then his eyes darkened, and he added with a sharp edge:
"But if any of you are chosen by the Path of Death… you will be executed. No mercy."
Kurl stepped forward, his face pale under the flickering crystal lights of the Great Hall. He clenched his fists, but his voice trembled as he spoke.
"W–Why, Father? Is there no other way?"
Father—King Thalor Vill—looked down at his son with sharp eyes and spoke:
"The Path of Death is not a gift," he said coldly. "It is a curse. A threat to this kingdom… and to our bloodline."
Mother—Queen Seraphine—stood beside him, her hands folded tight.
"But… what if the system chooses one of us?" Kurl asked, his voice barely above a whisper.
The king's voice turned to steel.
"Then that child will be erased and forgotten. Even royalty cannot bargain with death."
Kurl's breath caught in his throat.
He tried to stand tall—tried to be the prince he was raised to be—but the fear was there. It coiled in his chest. His hands shook slightly at his sides, but he curled them into fists, forcing the tremble to still.
Kira remained silent, thinking:
***Kurl must be one of them… that's why he's trembling like this, shouldn't he try to hide it properly, I am also one of those but i am trying my best to hide my fear, maybe we both will be dead by tommorow, what should I do???? I can't run, this kingdom is too big, and also we are going to attain class tommorow this means we all will starts from lvl 1, is this my end after living just 12 years, no no no no no i need to find a way out, how can i.. how can i escape this moreover i dont even know to which particular class i belong i just know that i belong to the path of dead and nothing more, maybe i get the class of necromancer which is considered strongest ***
Kurl spoke, trying to not show his fear:
"Come," he said, his voice still tight. "Let's go to the discussion chamber. We… need to talk."
We all followed him without a word, and all of them sit on the round table where no one around (private place)
Kurl looked at all them and spoke:
"There's… something I need to tell you.The system hasn't awakened yet," he said, "but… I already know.. I… I raised a dead bird once. I didn't even know how I did it. It just stood up and looked at me like it had never died. I'm a necromancer (a class which deals with dead corpses and dark magic).
Kurl trembles and says:
"Tomorrow, when the system activates… I'll be marked. And Father—he'll kill me. You heard him."
Lisa spoke very softly unlike she used to speak,
"Dont worry my dear brother kurl. You'll go to the dungeon. The one beneath the eastern cliffs. It's outside the palace's detection field."
"You'll level up there in secret, Kurl. You'll grow stronger, and prepare. When the time is right and you have levelled up… you can leave this kingdom"
Kira's mind racing with thoughts as he remains quiet:
*** Why is she acting so weird???? well I think if her brother's life is in danger then she should act like this to compose him, leave it the main thing is that the dungeon is Hell difficulty, we will be lvl 1 and we should not even enter normal difficulty, beginner difficulty is what all the lvl 1 begin form whether it is elite class or low tier class, but theres no option left i should try to not die there, damn i know i am unlucky i cant just depend on my luck i need to pair with Kurl or i am a goner , lets find an excuse to go with them***
Kira spoke:
"Kurl i will also go with you, i also want to taste Hell difficulty you cant be the only one clearing it"
Lily was watching all this, while Lisa's face seemed unsatisfied but she tried to hide it.
kurl spoke while trembling on his chair:
"Okay, moreover i..i will also get a support in Hell difficulty dungeon"
Lisa helped us sneak into the dungeon and as we all entered the dungeon, the aura was so much intense
Lisa's sweet smile twisted into a wicked grin. Then—she laughed loudly
"Hahahahahah"
Before Kurl could react, Lisa stepped forward with terrifying speed and plunged a silver dagger, thin and sharp, gleaming deep into Kurl's stomach.
Lisa spoke:
"Hahahaha… did you really think I would betray Father for a necromancer even if it was my brother?"
"And you, Kira… why did you even come? You always ruin things, now i also have to kill you too,but after all this is done"
Lisa smirks:
"I will be entitle and honoured by father to kill who were going to betray the kingdom. Hahahahaha"
Kurl spoke in disbelief and horror:
"if I die here…" Kurl glared up at Lisa, his eyes glowing faint violet at the betrayal,"then I swear—I'll take you with me."
Kira still thinking calmly:
*** we left at 11:48 so it should soon be midnight and I will finally get my class, i am sure i will not get a class as good as necromancer and something related to witches but whatever, kurl has it and we need to survive 1-2 minutes, just 1-2 minutes, and after 1-2 minutes we will have to fight 2v1,what a luck i have, i will not even get a good class, and i dont know if i will even survive it, but everything is going according to the plan***
