"This is the prophecy that I had foreseen and whether you believe me or not, it is of your own volition. I too had come from a world that was different from this place and had been made King the moment I arrived in this dreaded place where they call themselves the pinnacle of magic.

From the historical records that I had glanced at, they might have portrayed the kings as heroic beings who were here to save the country."

"But no matter how I see it, they had treated us as fodders depending on our capability to lead them. Lead them well, and they will not complain. Lead them badly, a.s.sa.s.sins will come by the day to disrupt your life. Live vicariously without any care? They will poison you for wasting their resources and what they will do is to summon another new king."

"Did you take that in? Because of the limited amount of time I could write, this is the only impression I can give you as part of the history. The next would be how I wrote this letter. All I could say is that I had fulfilled that 'lead them well' part sufficiently that I had managed to achieve the ability to look into the future. Precisely 2000 years later."

"In these 2000 years, I do not know whether this wretched civilisation will still stay as it is or grow into an advanced civilisation as just how my world would been. I missed modern music, television and the likes of it."

"Looks like this guy is of the same era as me." Jin thought to himself and he felt a little pity for him.

"But even if it does not, all I can do is to warn you of the real end of the world. They had been pitching this idea that the end of the world is nigh and I had done everything in my power to ensure that we would be ready for the end of the world. However, what came was an invasion from a neighbouring city mainly due to their jealousy for this particular city that was famous for magic."

"While it was true that we would have lost half of the city due to its might if we were unprepared I would not say it's the end of the world. There were many times, they used this idea to give the King a sense of urgency and to do better for the city. But what I can tell you is that this is not reverse psychology if you ever know the term but rather a true warning.

Exactly five years from the moment you open this letter, you will be seeing the true end of the world."

"While I wish to say it is Demons that are the crux of the problem, I would say that these people acted as demons even though they were clad in bright holy halos above their heads. And if you do not understand what I meant, Angels will be the calamity to bring an end to this world."

"Ah s.h.i.+t, it's the celestials being bigger a.s.sholes than everyone else as usual." Jin rolled his eyes backwards for a moment before returning to read the rest of the letter.

"But there is a silver lining behind all of this for I had created the ultimate magic to do harm to these Celestials." And that line alone was enough to pique Jin's interest as he knew that they did not have any information on how to fight against the Celestials other than using the Void Energy.

"Mixing Demon blood within your own magic, equipment and weapons will provide the necessary firepower to kill an angel." Jin looked at that and felt a little suspicious whether it would truly work against most higher powered celestials.

"You might be doubting me whether it will be useful since there is no proof. So, the only thing I can hope is that the royal record keepers have performed their job and preserved the relic that I had prepared for you. It is the item of a rather famous mythological being in my world and also the reason why the battle angels are coming regardless of what you do in these remaining five years."

"I can only say that if you do not recognise this particular relic, you should still be able to feel the strength that this angelic relic resides. Otherwise, it's all up to you whether you truly believed me but we had taken down this mythical being by introducing the use of demon blood into our equipment and magical chants."

"I do not know if the art to fuse demon blood into the equipment still exists or not but should you be able to manufacture them, you will greatly improve your chances of survival. Other than that, all I can say is to say good luck to you. May you enjoy these 5 years in this world or I hope that you can survive for more than 5 years."

The moment he read the last portion of the letter, the piece of parchment immediately caught in a yellowish fire that was similar to the colour of the moon. Jin did not fret nor panic when it happened and instead, a sigh came out of it.

"So, it is true. My System is not coming at all no matter how I tried to call it" Jin said as the system that he was seeing was this particular status console and an inventory tab which he believed was the same as most games where he could put it in and take it out from a static s.p.a.ce.

He attempted to do that with the envelope and it was successful which proved his theory that it was similar to such a concept he was familiar with.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door and Jin opened it to see the very old servant looking at him. It seemed as if he was peering into the room to look at the gla.s.s box to see whether the prophecy was true for this particular new king.

And that was where he was elated that Jin was truly the one.

"The Moon King Successor! You finally appear to save us all from calamity!" The servant exclaimed as he went to kneel down to welcome the new King once more.

"I like to see the relic that the Moon King had kept," Jin said and the servant was surprised to hear that.

"Would you not want a good bath and some gourmet food before truly starting? It must be heavy news after reading the famous Moon King's letter?" The old servant asked and Jin stared at him without flinching his eyelid.

"Do not waste my time."

"Understood." The old servant then beckoned Jin and followed him as they walked pa.s.sed many people who all greeted the King with reverence. But upon reading the letter that this supposed Moon King had said, Jin looked at them with slight disgust. Yet, he tried to maintain his composure as he did when he was in the Synthesis World.

If not for the experience over there, he could not have presented himself as a dignified person.

Soon, they were walking down a spiral staircase which reminded them that most items were always locked in the bas.e.m.e.nts to reduce the chances of them being raided. And after despite his appearance, the old servant was fit as a fiddle going the stairs only to realise he was using magic.

Jin and the old servant eventually reached a door where he started to draw an explicit magic circle with mana on his fingertips. It was an explicit and intricate design of a magic circle and once he finally connected all the dots in his magic circle, the door finally creaked open for them to enter.

"Pardon the lack of maintenance. We only clean this place once a year to reduce exposure of this relic to other people." The old servant said as he clapped with mana clasped within his palms and candles lit up to show.

"This is the relic that the Moon King had kept for 2000 years if my memory served me well enough. To think I am the servant that had been honoured to open this and present it to the Moon King Successor. It brings me great joy."

But despite all of the old servant's rumbling, Jin was in literal shock when he saw the item. He was now very sure that the person who had isekai to this world 2000 years ago was undoubtedly a person who had similar mythology history as his.

"If what the System said is true and that this world centuries were merely microseconds, that person who died 2000 years ago was dead when I was talking with Baal and the others," Jin said to himself as he gulped down his saliva to observe the relic with much interest.

For the relic that this Moon King left behind was none other than a hammer.

With a lightning symbol on it too.
