Reason Behind The Power Of A King[2]

[Andrew Dawn],

"Ah" "Ah" "Ah"

"Ah" "Ah" "Ah"

As I continued to pant in exhaustion with my guards while we were all covered in blood, I looked around at the mutilated bodies of my fallen soldiers.

What happened in the last hour made me realize that this world was never going to be normal again.

The sight of a flying cassowary was proof enough, and this animal, no, the monster was the one whose corpse was now in front of me.

The monster was to blame for my men's deaths.

The primordial chronicle, or whatever it's called now, referred to it as a mutated cassowary.

I think it was at level 9 also.

If it hadn't been for the guns that less than a dozen of my guards happened to have on their bodies, which were also barely effective due to the mutated cassowary's strange body defence, the cassowary wouldn't be on the floor now, dead, and that would have been us, which was every human currently on these grounds.

Apart from those with guns, almost everyone else here was useless in the fight, but this did not reduce the number of people who died.

I coughed a mouthful of blood from my mouth as I reflected on the deaths of my men and subordinates who had been caught in the crossfire between us and the mutated cassowary.

Even with all of my actions and the assistance of my guards to avoid being attacked by the mutated cassowary, I was still hit with its claws when I was using one of my subordinate's guns to shoot it, which drew its attention.

So right now, I was surrounded by my guards, who were attempting to close the bleeding wound caused by the mutated cassowary in my stomach while also attempting to organise the other people who were terrified.

I didn't have time to think about them because I was worried that if I died this way with my guards, what would happen to my wife and children?

What would happen to my empire and the people who might be going through what I had just gone through?

I needed to find my family and keep them close to me, as well as help my people, or at least the ones who were close to me at the time.

These were my thoughts as I attempted to summon the mysterious 'primordial chronicle' in my head, which also appeared just after the mutated cassowary died, but the panel was dismissed because I wasn't focused at the time.

As I was thinking about this and calling out the primordial chronicle in my head, a blue panel appeared in front of me.

Perhaps it was because I was bleeding to death, but the sudden appearance of the primordial chronicle had little effect on me as I turned to look at the texts on the blue panel in front of me and noticed some changes from the first time it appeared.

....

[Status],

[Name: Andrew Dawn],

[Age: 49],

[Race: Human [Homo sapiens]],

[Level: 1[+]],

[Job: None],

[Store: Locked],

[Title: King Of A Hundred People[Inactive], King Of An Army[Hundred Men][Inactive]],

......

Looking at the Primordial Chronicle panel in front of me, I noticed that, aside from the notifications indicating that I had obtained something called primordial record from the mutated cassowary and had enough of it to level up or something, everything in my status remained unchanged except for the + sign next to the level.

If I were to be brutally honest about my feelings about the primordial chronicle panel, I'd say that it reminds me of the video game character panels I used to play as a kid, so if I followed that logic, I'd believe that the + sign next to my level should be a way for me to level up.

However, it feels surreal.

Humans being able to level up.

Is this a video game world, or has magic finally descended on us?

Hahaha.

As I considered this, I let out a short laugh, which only served to make me cough up more blood, much to the chagrin of my men, who were preoccupied with me rather than themselves.

Cough

I didn't know anything about the primordial chronicle or what it was going to do in the future, but I was certain that whatever was happening now was related to it.

As I considered this, I decided to concentrate on the + sign next to my level to see if I could activate it.

If levelling up works as it does in video games, then levelling up should power me up or something. 𝙛r𝚎𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝗻𝗼𝐯e𝚕.𝒄𝐨𝓂

What I wasn't sure about was whether it could heal me in the process.

Aside from this and my curiosity, I was also curious how many times I could level up using the primordial records I received from killing the mutated cassowary with my men, in addition to the first kill reward, which was three times the primordial records I received.

'It should be a lot and useful, right?' I thought as I activated the + sign.

I'm not sure why, but ever since the Primordial Chronicle appeared, I've been able to use it normally, and it felt natural.

Strange.

When I activated the + sign, a new notification appeared on the panel, and I felt a surge of power, but I ignored the notification because I noticed that my injuries were gradually getting better.

'It appears that levelling up also heals previous injuries,' I thought as I watched my injuries and wounds heal slowly.

The healing stopped when I was barely able to reposition myself.

'It appears that the healing from levelling up is also limited,' I thought as I looked at the panel in front of me and activated the + sign for the second time as a new notification appeared.

[You have levelled up to level 3],

Hmmm.

Seeing the + sign again, I continued to level up in one goal as my men around me were surprised to see my body heal visibly.

[You have levelled up to level 4],

[You have levelled up to level 5],

[You have levelled up to level 6],

[You have levelled up to level 7],

Only when I reached level 7 did the + sign disappear, but this didn't matter because I was fully healed.

Aside from that, my body also felt different.
