"As per tradition of the Arlit Kingdom, Viktor Arundel, rightful heir to the throne of Arlit, today marks the beginning of a new reign. Do you swear, with your honor and the people of this kingdom, to uphold the laws of the land, to protect its people, and to serve with wisdom, justice, and mercy?"
The high priestess, who was holding the crown in her hand, trying to appear calm even though her hands were trembling, asked the 23-year-old man in front of her respectfully.
Viktor didn't respond but looked around the people who were also looking at him, eyes full of hope; he nodded before saying: "I swear it, by my blood and by my honor."
The high priestess wasn't as tall as Viktor, but she couldn't ask the soon-to-be King to bow down in order to lay the crown on his head.
Fortunately, as a transmigrator, he has enough emotional Intelligence and bends a little to receive the crown.
The moment he received the Crown, the high priestess declared:" "All hail King Viktor!"
In response to her, the hall erupted in cheer, Knights clanged their swords against their shields, and the nobles bowed deeply in unison.
Trumpets blared, their triumphant sound reverberating through the halls and spilling out into the city below, where thousands gathered to celebrate the coronation. From the palace walls, banners of gold and blue unfurled, dancing in the wind as the people shouted, "Long live the king!"
At the same time, apart from the cheer, Viktor received something like a notification and an illusory blue projection that only he seemed to see appeared.
[Congratulations for meeting the requirements and ascending to the throne activating the Myth System. Do you wish to bind the system?]
An uncontrollable smile appeared on his face, mistaking people thinking it was because he was happily ascending to the throne.
Although he was very curious about the so-called Myth System, he didn't accept to bounce; who knows what phenomenon could happen? Plus, he had a speech to perform that every king must do after ascending.
In fact, not only the people present but everyone in the kingdom is watching the ceremony displayed through the Rune Crystal that the Runemancers were charged to create on all four sides of the kingdom.
After managing to hide his smile, he looked at the people below with a serious expression that the Rune Crystal captured keenly, it's time to paint a big cake for them.
"My people," he began with a clear and steady voice, wanting to instill more emotion in each word he would say, "Today marks the beginning of a new era for our kingdom. For generations, the crown of Arlit has been passed from father to son, from ruler to ruler, each striving to lead with honor, strength, and wisdom. Today, I take up that sacred mantle."
"With each day passing, strong people are emerging everywhere in the world, the enemy who are greedy are staring at us wanting to divide the kingdom at every opportunity, to weaken our strength, and to disturb the peace that our ancestors fought hard for."
"But I hope you know this, as your king, I will not flee my responsibility, nor will I yield. I pledge to protect Arlit with every fiber of my being."
"I will stand as a shield against those who would see us fall, and I will wield the sword of justice against those who seek to bring us harm. But I will also be a king of peace. I will seek counsel from the wisest among us, for I know that no ruler stands alone. Together, we shall ensure that Arlit thrives, not just for today, but for generations to come."
He came to the most important part of his cake painting and looked at the noble: "But this task is not mine alone. Every one of you holds a responsibility to this kingdom. From the highest lord to the humblest servant, we must stand united. Our strength lies in our unity, and I will tolerate nothing less. Those who seek to sow discord, those who would betray the trust of this throne, will face the full weight of my justice."
This time, the biggest cheers than when he ascended could be heard from all the parts of the Kingdom: "Long live the king! Long live Arlit!"
Viktor was satisfied; he thought, ' seems that I'm made for politics; what a pity for Earth to lose someone as good as me.'
...
After the ceremony, the kingdom entered the festive mode, where everyone was celebrating the rise of a new king.
At the palace, a banquet was happening, and all the nobles in the kingdom, including the three dukes, were present.
Duke Ronan, who was waiting with his daughter for the new king to make his appearance, saw the latter didn't arrive.
He was a little anxious, he asked a knight: "Is the king doing something?"
The knight was surprised by the sudden question. Nonetheless, he is a professional trained and replied with a respectful tone: "I don't know, Your Highness; it's beyond my authority to talk about the whereabouts of His Majesty."
Naturally, Viktor, whom they were talking about, was in his Royal room waiting for his summon to come. That's right, he already has confirmed the ability of the system.
A few moments ago
Viktor, who returned to the royal palace, couldn't wait to summon the system: "System, I accept the binding."
The moment Viktor uttered the words, the same illusory blue screen appeared before him again.
[Binding to the Myth System initiated...]
[Binding complete.]
[Welcome, King Viktor Arundel. You have unlocked the Myth System.]
[Every year, the Myth System will grant you the ability to summon legendary and mythical figures from your previous world. Along with this, you will receive a random talent, skill, or item from the legends of your world through a lottery system.]
[Note: All summons are unable to harm you or anyone in your immediate vicinity, but you have to conquer them to make them loyal to you. Every talent, skill, and item you receive will have no negative side effects.]
Viktor was shocked by the ability of this system; it was beyond all his expectations; he didn't have to worry about doing some mission or that his life would be doing a system mission or on the way to do it.
He asked: "System, would I be able to summon all the people in the mythology or legend?"
[Of course, but the summoned creature or items are randomly summoned; the system can't help the host here.]
Viktor nodded; he wasn't discouraged by the system pouring cold water on him.
As a spiritualist, he has more composition in his mind than a normal spiritualist, which may be due to being reborn and stronger than the average spiritualist; thanks to his efforts, he was already an Ember D Level Spiritualist by this age, making him one of the most talented people in the Kingdom history.
This confidence makes him believe he can last to the the time he can draw something that can make him more powerful or summon strong creatures; the only problem is that the summons aren't loyal to him, but at least, they can't harm him.
But it also means one thing, if he can't even make them believe in him, it's a problem of his ability.
He said: "System, does it mean I would have to wait for another for another year before the first up Myth Lottery and Chance Lottery?
[No, the countdown will start only after the host has summoned and used the Chance Lottery for the first time.]
"Oh," Viktor was excited, "When does the first draw start?"
[Initiating the first Summon Lottery...]
