A Psychopath's Redemption
to be a king 1
In a gloomy room filled with books and working out machines in the middle of the night, make looks at the ceiling.
Mike
Just as I expected, lonely and jobless, a perfect ending for a psychopath like me (sigh)
shadow
(laughing hysterically) hahaha, it's always going to be like this you know, no one to love you and no one to support you
shadow
To be loved is the last illusion, leave it, and you will be free.
Mike
You are the one who won't let me be free
shadow
I'm you man, I'm just a reflection of whom you could be
Mike
stop it, leave me alone
shadow
hahaha, you created me to deal with your life haha ...
Mike
Quiet quiet leave me alone
said make with a loud voice
Mike
It's always a mess inside my head, if only..., I just want to be loved.
shadow
What about our goal ?
Mike
damn, it's been some time since I checked the social media, maybe my head will go quiet with a little dose of dopamine
Make scrolling down for some time, and he stumbles upon a test
Mike
what's this ? , answer more than
90 % of the questions correctly, and you will be a king !
shadow
Seems interesting, it aligns with our goal
Mike
well, I'm just doing it for fun
shadow
man, these questions are hilarious, why would they put the trolley dilemma in here ?
Mike
there are some traps in these questions, anyway I answered them all, please let me sleep.
Make puts his headphones and starts listening to rain sounds until he falls asleep.
Mike
these nightmares are the price I pay for my sins
shadow
let there be chaos again today...
Make's receives a message in his phone
Mike
hmm ?!, it's unusual for someone to contact me !
shadow
maybe it's that big brother of yours who took all the inheritance.
Mike
It seems like I won an interview with the king of Bermuda to be his successor.
to be a king 2
Make arrives at the kingdom of Bermuda
Mike
so this is the Kingdom of Bermuda that suddenly appeared out of nowhere six years ago !!
shadow
It's full of natural resources
shadow
to think it would appear in the middle of Bermuda triangle, they even say that it contains multiple races.
Mike
The king is an elf named Evan Novak, he is rumored to be more than three hundreds old
shadow
you only did come to know about this in the morning
Mike
Well..., I did know about it but I didn't give it much thought, I guess I just wanted to stay away from everything after my mom's death.
Nicolas
Hello there ! , I'm sorry for being late I'm Nicolas, your guide .
Mike
Hello I'm make hearts
Nicolas
let's get going ,my car is around the corner
make and Nicolas get in an electric car
Mike
such a nice electric car you have there man
Nicolas
thank you, the king instructed us to drive this kind of cars because it's eco-friendly
Nicolas
Sorry but it seems we will be the last ones to arrive at the castle, we will be there around sunset
Mike
how many other condidates are there ?
Nicolas
four including you .
Nicolas
well..., only you four managed to get 90 % or higher of the answers correct.
shadow
hehehe, isn't this our chance , we will rigne this country and...
Nicolas
indeed it is , the air is clean too, i love it in here.
Nicolas
We are finally here sir
Mike
woah what a magnificent castle
shadow
you see ..., it was right to get out of your comfort zone.
Nicolas
You go in sir, the king and the princess are waiting for you
Mike
princess !!, this is my first time hearing about this
suddenly a butler comes out of the castle
butler Isaac
Sir, please come inside the other condidates are already here.
the butler takes make to the dining room
butler Isaac
please go inside sir, his Majesty and her highness are waiting for you
shadow
A dining room ?!, and I'm not seeing any elfs in here .
make enters the dining room
james
hm , not good to be late buddy
walter
and look at those clothes, you are in a presence of a king , you shouldn't wear such casual clothes.
henry
how did you make here in the first place ?!
king Evan
come in , make hearts
princess Eva
such manners!, i can't believe someone like him is a condidate
shadow
that's the princess huh ?!, as always she seems to hate you already.
make sits in the last empty sit, and he sees all kind of known and unknown food in the table
shadow
so this is an elf huh , they do have some charisma
king Evan
As everyone is here , let's all eat
everyone starts eating while paying close attention to their eating manners except for make
princess Eva
are you an orc, why are you eating like that ?!
king Evan
Eva, you are being rude again
king Evan
please forgive my daughter i pampered her a lot
Mike
ah no , I'm the one who's sorry
king Evan
Please don't call me that, I'm not your king
shadow
are you okay ?!, do you want me to take over ?!
walter
why are using such a method to chose a successor, why don't you chose someone from your people?!
henry
That's right, I don't see why ?!
king Evan
well, well, how about you make hearts?!
king Evan
Why do you think I'm using such an absurd method?
princess Eva
Father !, why are you asking him of all the people ?!
princess Eva
just for your information, I'm not going to marry him even if you chose him, the other guys are handsome and are all CEOs
Mike
I'm sorry, but I'm leaving, I don't want to be part of this play or whatever you are conducting here
Mike
In the first place, no one said anything about marriage.
princess Eva
haaaah ?!, you jobless and ugly, who will ever marry someone like you ?!!
Suddenly the king slaps the table
king Evan
Evaaa, we talked about this
make walks to the door of the dining room as he prepares to live
shadow
what were you expecting ?, you coming here was a mistake in the first place, is it bringing memories, I welcome those memories anytime,
Mike
(sigh)...alright, the reason why you used such method to find a successor is because you need someone with a different perspective
Mike
you have all these resources but you don't know how to use them , external hands are trying to deceive you , you can't ask someone affiliated with a country so someone who's involved in politics is a big no
Mike
but that's not all, you want someone who's good at multiple areas , that's what i got from the test
Mike
someone who can be harsh yet kind, someone complicated yet simple, someone who can make sacrifices for the greater good, that's why you put the trolley problem in the test
henry
the trolley problem?!
walter
it's simple isn't it ?!
james
the trolley problem, the one where you chose either you save five or save one from the train Huh ?!
king Evan
All three answered to save the one person , what about you tell us your answer make hearts?
Mike
it's a trap question, to find out if you can think outside the box
Mike
Either you save one or five , you will always be labeled as a killer , the guilt will tear you apart both ways
Mike
you sacrifice yourself to stop the train.
Mike
if you put yourself in the train's way then you can manage to get him of the trail
walter
but who will do such a thing ?!
james
yeah, no one can put himself willingly in the face of certain death
Mike
A king, you can't be a ruler of a country if you aren't ready to sacrifice yourself for the people
said the king with a smile
Mike
but most of all, you wanted a good man for your daughter, now I understand why you put that kind of question in there.
Mike
Well, has nothing to do with me anymore
king Evan
wait, I can't just let you go like that
walter
we were so narrow-minded
king Evan
It's decided then, you are to be my successor
Mike
I'm happy to be your successor but I can't get married to your daughter
king Evan
You have to, it's the only way for you to become legally a king and the people will accept you that way.
James, henry and Walter leaving the castle
james
but damn, I really liked that princess
henry
she is really cute huh
walter
about that make guy, I feel like I saw him somewhere hmmm
henry
but that guy is the real deal
james
I would have employed him in my company if I had the chance
walter
Ah!, I remember now !
Back to the talk between make and the king
king Evan
but to think I would meet the guy who made the core, honestly it's a pleasure
Mike
you got the wrong guy , my father is the one who made it you know
king Evan
no you are the one , you see my daughter has a very special ability
to be a king 3
Mike
A special ability you say ?!
princess Eva
yes..., i can see fragments of the past and the future .
Mike
And what did you see about me ?!
princess Eva
I saw you in a table while your father was experimenting in you , and i saw you making the core
king Evan
you don't seem to be surprised about it ?
Mike
well, you are a different race from humans so i was expecting you to have some special powers .
princess Eva
Please let me apologize about earlier, I was only being rude to you as part of the test.
Mike
I noticed that, so it's okay
king Evan
you see, what's important is what the future you will be , tell him Eva .
princess Eva
I saw you as the king of our kingdom.
princess Eva
i don't know , i just saw you as the king and that's all, either it is a good thing or a bad thing i don't know
Mike
so you made a gumble ?
king Evan
we needed that gumble, but let me tell you I'm quite satisfied with the results.
said Evan with a big smile in his face
king Evan
from now on you are the king and Eva will be your queen.
Mike
Wait wait, I can't marry her you know, I may be a good king, but I'm not a good husband, I'm not good at dealing with women.
king Evan
Then take your time to get used to Eva, I'm not bragging, but she's quite the catch, isn't she ?
Mike
how about this ?, I will be a king for five years, then banish me from the kingdom.
king Evan
I can't do that as it goes against our moral code.
Mike
Look here sir Evan, there's no way I can make your daughter happy.
princess Eva
But why are you so against the idea of marrying me ?!
princess Eva
then explain it to me !
shadow
I'm a psychopath, say it, you don't deserve her you and I know that, your sins are quite heavy.
princess Eva
You are what ?!
shadow
you have what it takes to be a king but a husband ?, don't make me laugh
Asked Eva with a happy smile
shadow
are you going out of your comfort zone again ?!
Mike
I promise to make this country prosper, please bear with me princess Eva.
Said make while pushing his hand for a handshake
princess Eva
No, I'm your queen now
said Eva while shaking make's hand
king Evan
ooh, I'm happy, once again please make our kingdom prosper in this absurd world
king Evan
you should get some sleep tonight, and tomorrow will be the crowning ceremony followed by the wedding.
shadow
oh now I get it, you will make this country into the utopia you always dreamt of, and then you will kill yourself, quite the ending if I say so myself.
king Evan
Eva, please take him to the sleeping room.
princess Eva
Follow me, sir hearts.
Eva takes make to his sleeping room.
Mike
Oyoy, isn't this a bed for two people?!
princess Eva
What are you saying ?, of course we will be sleeping together as we are now married.
Mike
(sigh) look here, this marriage is only political, so we shouldn't get intimate with each other.
princess Eva
No no, I don't want that, I want to have a love story just like the ones I see in those dramas
Mike
you should've reed some books instead.
princess Eva
Are you saying I'm stupid ?
princess Eva
I'm not, let me tell you i have the highest grades in my generation.
Mike
You see, The problem is not people being uneducated,
The problem is that people are educated just enough to believe what they have been taught, and not educated enough to question anything from what they have been taught.
princess Eva
Ooh!, you indeed have a different perspective
Mike
anyway, I'm not sleeping with you
princess Eva
But why ?, do you hate me now because I insulted you ?!
Mike
No, it's not about the insult, i now you didn't mean it
shadow
Having trouble, aren't we ?
Mike
"I am completely empty, and I have nothing to offer for my relationship with anyone to last, and you can take this as a sufficient reason to stay away from me."
said make while looking sad
princess Eva
why ?, why are hurting yourself?!
princess Eva
If you are in pain then I can help you with it, and you don't have to offer me anything.
princess Eva
Of course, I will always be by your side even if you insult me.
shadow
she understands us !
Mike
If you want to help me, then keep your distance from me, you sleep on the bed and i will sleep in the sofa
princess Eva
jeez, why are you so stubborn?!
princess Eva
let's just sleep together.
Mike
damnit, okay okay, but you keep to your side of the bath.
princess Eva
(smiles brightly) alright.
Mike
by the way can you bring me a rope ?
princess Eva
A rope ?!, okay...
Eva calls for a maid to bring her a rope.
shadow
she's different from all those women isn't she ?
the maid gives a two meters rope to Eva
princess Eva
is this long enough ?
princess Eva
can you tell me what do you need it for ?
Mike
i will tie myself up in the bed.
princess Eva
eh ?!, why ?!?!
Mike
so that i won't hurt you when I'm sleepwalking
princess Eva
yeah, good night
