The King's Mandate: Anomalous System

Chapter 86: No Religion



Chapter 86: No Religion

I got a 20 minute lecture from my mom when I reached home.

"The traffic was awful. It's not my fault"

It took me 2 hours to reach home.

"You are not allowed to go out for a week!"

"I have to go on a date with Elena"

"When?"

"This Sunday"

"I will tell her the date is cancelled"

"Why are you so overprotective?"

"It's dangerous outside!"

"...."

"Don't you know how many crimes have been happening in this city lately"

"I know"

"You don't! If you do, then you won't act recklessly!"

She is more furious than usual.

"I am sorry"

"I don't need your apology. Das, I am saying this for you. It's dangerous outside"

"Fine. I won't go anywhere from now on"

"There is no need to go to school from tomorrow"

"What?"

"Your university results are out. You scored top!"

"What do you mean by I can't go to school tomorrow?"

"There is no need to go to school now. You already graduated from university. The deal ended" 

Elena's grandfather made a deal with me, that I have to go to school if I want to graduate from university, I have to attend high school. Today I successfully graduated from university, so there is no need to go to school now.

"I will go to school"

"You can't!"

"Please mom! Let me go to school"

"Is it because of Elena?"

"...."

"You haven't told her anything yet?"

"I told her everything"

"About you becoming a king too?"

"Yeah"

"Then she will understand. She is a smart girl"

"I will go to school"

"You can't--"

"Angela! Why are you doing this?" My dad asked.

"I am doing this for him. There is no need for him to do anything!"

"You can't just force him to do something he doesn't want to"

"He is my son! He is our son!"

"If you keep forcing him, then he might start hating you"

"Wha...Das...do you hate me?"

"...."

"Hey! Say something!"

Why are you acting like Elena!

"I don't hate you"

"See? He doesn't hate me"

"I said if you keep forcing him, he 'might' start hating you"

"I understand!"

"...."

"Das!"

"What?"

"You can continue going to school"

"Thanks"

"Come on now. Let's eat dinner"

Sigh~

"You just sighed, right?"

"..."

"Do you not like it when I lecture you?"

"It's not like I don't like it. You are saying this for my own good after all, but sometimes you worry too much"

"I see. I will hold back next time"

There will be a next time?!

We are eating dinner. Everything was going fine until--

"Why are you eating with your left hand?"

"Well..."

"Something is wrong with your right hand?"

It still hasn't healed!

It's been over 2 hours, but it still hasn't healed!

"Das?"

"I just felt like eating with my left-hand today"

"It is bad manners"

It is?! 

"I will--"

"Derek! How many times do I have to tell you not to use the tablet when eating?!"

"Some interesting news is going on"

"What type of news?"

"The prik wall is broken"

"Prik wall...the wall which was built during the last war?"

"Yeah"

Welp~~

"Some are saying 'it's a curse from heavens' and such"

"Wasn't that wall made of the strongest material?"

It was?!

"Yeah. Even the missiles couldn't penetrate it"

Wait what?! Could it be that I just did something unimaginable?

"How did it crash?"

I did it!

"Don't know but the government will surely conceal this matter, and it won't be out in public"

"That's the universal law of the world"

That's right. After the religious war, the kings and the government of the respective countries decided to remove all the religion from the world.

Currently, there is no religion in the world.

My generation, including me, doesn't know anything about any religion. They are not told about religions.

The government and kings of all countries and kingdoms removed everything related to the religion. There is no mention of any religion in any books, history, nowhere.

Even the media is silenced about it. If someone talks about religion, there is only one penalty, and that is...instant death.

This is one of the deadly laws of the world.

I know about this because of my paranoid grandpa. He told me everything about everything.

We have just been told that there is only one god. There is a creator, but no one can worship because there is religion.

"I am done eating"

"Put your plates in the kitchen. I will wash them later"

"Hmm"

I went to my room, patched myself with VR gear, and logged into LWO.

[Welcome To Len World Online]

"Finally"

I didn't get transported to world zero this time.

"Huh"

It's been over a minute but...

"Lily is not here"

I glanced around, but I couldn't find her.

"Lily!"

She always greets me in under 5 seconds, but...

"Is she angry because I didn't play LWO yesterday?"

"Das?"

"Elena!"

"What are you doing?" 

"Lily! She is not here"

"She is here"

"What?"

"Look down"

I looked at the ground. She was sitting on the ground.

"What are you doing there!"

I picked her up.

"Someone might have crushed you!"

[...]

"Lily?"

She is not saying anything.

"Lily, what's wrong?" Elena asked.

Lily blinked and stared at us for a while.

[Adas...Reina...when did you come here?]

"We just logged in" 

"Lily. Are you okay?"

[I am fine]

Lies!

She is acting strange.

"Lily...I.."

"Hey Adas! We are here"

"Rikka!" Elena hugged Rikka.

Aren't they getting too close?

"What's with that face? Jealous of my wife?" Ricky asked.

"It's not like that. She must have missed her"

"Yeah. Do you want to hug me too?" 

"Hell no!"

"Haha. Your reactions are funny"

"...."

[Let's go to World Zero Adas]

"Yeah"

[Now that you are the ruler of World Zero, you can teleport us all together]

I opened my menu. There was an option to teleport to World Zero, and there was also an option to teleport someone from my friend list.

I selected Elena, Ricky, Rikka and teleported us all to World Zero.

"It's the same as we left it that day"

[You have to rebuild it now, Adas]

"On it"

Roar~~

The small Dragernix came and sat on my head.

[Hey! What gives?!]

Roar~~

[This is my place to sit! Go sit somewhere else]

Roar~~

[Get out of my sight! This place is mine!]

This is not your place. It's my head!
