My King System

Yuki continued to explain to his interrogator what he had inniciatally done to get him in the position he was in now. While the odds weren\'t in his favor, Yuki could probably manage to get out with a less severe punishment if he were to tell the truth now and then later on tell a lie which cannot be proven to be false. 

"As for the matter of me escaping from prison. That is also true. I had been captured and put in jail before going to my trial where I was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison. Once I had recieved my life sentence, I decided to escape because I didn\'t plan on living out my days in a boring prison when there were so many things to explore in this world. I mean, if you were in my position, you would\'ve done the same," Yuki said as he tried to justify his actions. Although that was what it seemed like, Yuki knew from the beginning that the investigator didn\'t care about the minor details. Yuki only acted in a foolish way to present himself as what a 16 year old would be like. 

In his situation, any 16 year old would plead for mercy and beg for a second chance. They would say that they had so much to live for and would even be willing to serve anyone for a large amount of time to avoid the punishment which awaited Yuki. However, Yuki wasn\'t an average 16 year old when it came to his thought process. Death wasn\'t something which scared Yuki as Zero would always be there to make sure that fate never encountered Yuki. The only problem was that Yuki needed to apply Zero\'s powers without anyone noticing. If they did notice that Yuki was using some extra terrestrial being, everyone on the planet would merge to defeat him. However, in the end, Zero would just wipe them out without using a single bit of effort. To add on, Yuki wanted to rule humans and lead them in a better direction, not control them to the point where they have to live in fear every single day. 

"Lastly, my battle against the army which had the combined forces of 3 kingdoms. It all started because I escaped from the prison in the kingdom which I had spawned into. I had specifically warned them that if they tried to come after me, they would be greeted by hell. Even though I had warned them, they decided to not only bring their kingdom\'s doom but also 2 other kingdoms down with them. That wasn\'t even the worst part. Before the battle and during the battle, I had given them multiple warnings and chances to flee for their lives. However, due to them being full of pride, they still attacked me in hopes that they could defeat me with sheer numbers. I cannot honestly be blamed for what I did. I gave them chances but they didn\'t listen. In the end, it was either them or me who had to die. To be frankly honest with you, I don\'t feel like dying yet," Yuki finished explaining.

"Thank you for your brief explanation. We\'ll be taking into account everything you\'ve said when determining your sentence. Just to clarify, you will not be receiving a trial and only judgment will be passed on to you using the information we\'re gathered from you as well as information from outside sources," the investigator said as he got up from his stool before standing up and walking out the cell. His henchmen or what seemed to be his henchmen since they followed from also left as they walked behind him and shut the door to the cell. 

Once the investigator along with his team exited the jail cell, Yuki once again laid on his back as he tried to absorb what had just taken place. Even though he thought he was much calmer than the last time he was being interrogated, Yuki noticed himself to be shaking. He didn\'t know if it was because of the intense glare which the interrogator had or because of the sheer presence of the guards/henchmen which followed him. Either way, it wasn\'t good for Yuki since it would only make his mission harder. 

"Let\'s see... I think I did pretty good when I answered the questions. I made myself seem logical however I also presented myself as arrogant and foolish. With that along with the story about me saving the 3 kingdoms from a gang which would\'ve sold all the citizans to a life of eternal slavery, I think my punishment shouldn\'t be as hard as it would\'ve been if I didn\'t put up fake filters just to seem a certain type of way for this specific event," Yuki said to himself as he once again went back to sleep.

Yuki hadn\'t realized it but the hit which had knocked him out the first time had taken a larger effect on his body than he thought. He had managed to ignore the headache when he was speaking with his interrogator however, now that he didn\'t have anything distracting him from it, Yuki was once again overwhelmed by the sheer agony which his head caused him. Even during all of this, Yuki\'s main concern was what would happen to him once the discussion about his punishment had been made. 

...

A few days later, Yuki was once again greeted by his interrogator. During those few days, Yuki had spent his time daydreaming and thinking about what would\'ve been if he could\'ve stayed with Marcell and Elpis. Those were his thoughts half the time. As for the other half, Yuki would think about what his second family would think about him. After all, they would\'ve probably found out about who he really was by now. At times, Yuki would just tell himself what he thought to be the obvious truth. No matter how much he wanted to believe that Marcell and Elpis would love him until the very end, it simply wasn\'t true. In the end, they would care for their real daughter much more than they would care for some random kid which they brought into their home out of pity. As such, when they found out about Yuki\'s true identity, they would hate him because of his previous actions as well as the fact that he was a threat to both them and their daughter. 

Although he had continued to think about that, Yuki knew something else as well. He couldn\'t naturally (without the help of Zero) change the outcome of both the situation as well as the perception of him in Marcell and Elpis\' eyes. The fact of the matter was that the past had already happened and he couldn\'t change it. All he could change was the future. 

"Hello there Yuki. I have some rather good new for you today. Luckily for you, you won\'t be killed and you will also not be sentenced to jail. The court deemed that placing you in prison would just put us in more danger due to your random tendances. You have a record of clearing dungeons at an extremely fast rate. If you were to somehow escape and make it to the dungeons. You would exponentially grow and most likely burn down everything and everyone who tormented you. As such, we would like to leave you on a good note. However, this does not mean you will be set free. Instead, you will be placed in a kingdom with a high crime rate where you will live out the rest of your life. That means you will not be robbed of a general decent life but you will not have the opportunity to grow stronger. This was the only fair way to settle this as you are still a potential threat and we cannot allow you to impact the outside world any more than you already have," the investigator explained. 

"Exactly as planned. I couldn\'t have asked for something better. They really believe that I\'m going to settle down. In reality, I\'ll use \'King\'s Crown\' and build a whole army of my strongest monsters," Yuki said to himself. 

"That is so kind of you. Thank you so much. I don\'t know how to show my gratitude," said Yuki as he faked his personality once again. 

"It\'s not an act of kindness. It was just the safest option we had. There was no room for emotions when the decision was made. The judge along with their advisers only picked this option as it was the most logical one. You have no reason to be grateful. We never had your best intentions in mind. We only care for humanity\'s safety, not yours," the investigator explained. 

"Well that\'s rather harsh. I know some people think of me as a demon or monster but it really doesn\'t bug me. That\'s just their opinion. I have no reason to be hurt by something which is just backed by the moral thinking process of someone. Morality can be augmented and changed to fit a certain criteria. It is just some dumb way people think to present themselves as better than others," Yuki thought to himself while still keeping up an innocent front.
