[Kingdom of Avalon]

Upon hearing such a question coming from Emperor Amos, Asagi then suddenly thought of the possibility that the emperor himself had somehow was able to take a peek into the secrets of the system that even she wasn't knowledgeable and powerful enough for her to learn

Throughout the days and months she had done just to investigate the reason why she had arrived in this world and her purpose of overtaking the body of her game avatar in a certain game back on earth, in the end all she could ever learn was that she herself was one of the chosen few people that were chosen either by the system or the gods to prepare for something that is coming in the near future

In fact she was even able to specify the number of the chosen people to about 10 person, meaning there are 10 destined people chosen either by the system or gods alike or maybe even by fate

Nevertheless such elaborate number of people having their fate intertwined to each other was all she could learn throughout her whole research through the use of own source materials and if she ever wanted to know more regarding the system itself and the purpose why she was brought into this world, she would have no choice but to reach the city of Avalon at the very north of the world, thus the reason for the current flying course of her kingdom

Because of such reason she experienced Throughout her sole research, the words of Emperor Amos himself was like a breakthrough to her, especially to the meaning of her very own existence

Just like what she learned, there are indeed 10 people that have intertwined fate with each other just like what the emperor had dictated and surprisingly she is one of them, but for the part about her whole kingdom was completely destroyed and her own angels getting killed by the tide of an unknown force predict that she would have a bad end at the end of her journey

Upon thinking up to that point, she instantly remembered the connections that she had made in this world, the allied kingdom, people, children, and recent acquaintance that she had met will all be swept up by the tide of chaos at the end of her journey, in other words they would all die in the end

If such was her fate which is predicted by the Emperor of Amid Empire himself, Asagi was then suddenly troubled on how she would be able to protect the people that is dear to her in this world, in that very moment a type of a sudden heavy burden was then suddenly placed on Asagi's shoulder upon having the premonition of her own destruction

It was as if she was carrying the burden of the whole world itself, such a pressure was too much for her and yet she couldn't do anything at all but endure it, and if such terrible premonition was her future, then she had would have no choice but to do everything on her power to change the very future itself

With a new profound determination and reason why she should survive this current ordeal no matter what, she then faced Emperor Amos with a dignified atmosphere with an intention to change her grim future, after all if such a grim prediction to her future was enough to deter her determination to find the truth to her existence, then maybe she should have died from the very start of her journey and spare herself of all this trouble

"Im sorry to say but I'm currently figuring out just what I am, in fact I'm still in the middle of my journey to figure my purpose in this world... thus I can't really answer you right now with a confident answer"

"So your confused of your own existence?" Asks Emperor Amos with a tinge of interest towards her

"Pretty much, that why I'm on a journey" replied Asagi

"I see... if that is such a case, then I couldn't do anything to pressure you even further for answers myself" said Emperor Amos with a disappointed tone

With such a topic being ended at that point, Asagi then quickly took the reel of this conversation and begun to shift the topic towards the Emperor himself

"Enough about me... with all the information that you just revealed, especially to the fact that you foresaw a loosing war in one of your clairvoyance to the future, I presume that the premonition itself is what drives you to wage war on all the three kingdom's in the middle continent right?"

"Indeed! Your quite good on the uptake of that slight information" praised Asagi

"Through the war and seeing that you had the upperhand in terms of war weapons and technology in your terms, the empire would eventually take over the whole land of the middle continent and none could ever hinder your goal, by that time the whole middle continent would be under your own ruling as its Supreme ruler" said Asagi

"Your right! If I'm able to achieve such a goal of having the whole middle continent under my rule, I would be able or somehow change the fate of the whole humankind... I also believe that under my guidance we would have atleast a fighting chance agaisnt an unknown enemy that will wipe out all of existence in the future" confirmed Emperor Amos

"Seizing all the burden and problem for yourself? Thats crazy! A person could only accomplish so much and monopolizing such burden for yourself would be your downfall" advised Asagi

"It may be my downfall or it may also be my breakthrough to an even higher realm of ruling... but simply ruling one continent isn't enough to completely save all humanity, I'm also preperaing my plan to seize the country overseas and put the whole world under my thumb... more like world domination but with a purpose of having a chance to survive the upcoming end" said Emperor Amos

"Thats just crazy talk! Do you think you could rule the whole world without any problems occurring here and there? If you continue on this path of yours, you would only find yourself in the abyss of downfall not knowing what went wrong with your ruling, in fact it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say if some people you plan to rule would think of you as a greedy tyrant" said Asagi

"That is why I plan to rule them with military might! I don't plan on having the whole world recognize my effort and sacrifice, all I ever wanted is for humanity having a future that they could encounter and see, no matter how many I antagonize as long as I can accomplish my goal,I would be satisfied in the end" said Emperor Amos

"Military might? Don't you know how many people that used such method throughout the whole history fall and seen them as a villain by the whole world? The way you do things now is no different from what they do in the past, some think they could rule the whole world, some even think that they could put everything under their thumb through force and violence, but all of them ended the same" advised Asagi

"..."

"They all died not accomplishing anything, even thought all they had done was for the sake of the people they primary rule, they were then betrayed by the very same people they tried to protect, all of their paths were dead end and only leading to the never ending cycle of revenge and regret... thats where you are heading" added Asagi

"...Throughout history eh? Are you saying this through the perspective of your previous life's knowledge? But no matter how I think about it, what you just said is also a possibility of my own future, but what could I do? Tell the whole world what I saw? They would only just regard me as a mentally ill person, saying I'm crazy behind my back, entitling me with many embarrassing titles associated with crazy, heck no one would even believe me that I could see a glimpse of a grim future, telling me it was all because of stress, making up reasons for something they don't understand... thats what humans are... they fear what they don't understand"

In that moment Asagi was then silenced by the Emperor as what he said was actually true and a fact no matter what world one person is currently living in

No matter earth who always explains things through scientific reasons and what's not, maybe even this world of magic, people would also often create stuff that they were satisfied with to things they don't understand, after all no matter how crazy the explanation may seem, people would eventually regard it as truth because of the existence of monsters and magic

Different world but same thinking

With that Asagi clenched her fist and said

"Still you should give up on conquering the whole middle continent"

Upon hearing that Emperor Amos then suddenly directed a glare towards Asagi as he asked

"And why would I do that?"

"... because seeing that I'm somehow involved with this end of the world premonition of yours, I then have the responsibility to avoid such future alongside you, thus I will do everything I can to change my fate, but violence is not the answer... so I implore you to stand down  to avoid any more innocent victims in this war of yours"

This time it was Emperor Amos turn to be stunned silent upon hearing Asagi's answer, as he suddenly came into realization upon remembering her appearing in one of his vision, with a sigh he then replied

"So your planning on taking on this so called unknown enemy which even got me the great and mighty emperor of the Amid empire to suddenly become wary of its presence? And how do you think would you do that? After all my hypothesis, research, and simulations that I had concluded in my mind, in the end all I could ever think of a solution is uniting the whole world under my own rule to prepare for the upcoming dreadful war"

In face of Emperor Amos question Asagi then answered

"Well... to that point I'm really not sure yet since I've only known the situation  and the grim future for about few minutes ago, but if we somehow want answers to your current problem at hand, I can try find something up in the north"

"Up in the north?" Asks Emperor Amos

"Yes! Up in the north! Ever heard of the City of Avalon at the very north of the world?" Asked back Asagi

"Ah! Yes... yes... the city of mages, the city wherein the rumored sages of the world gathers... they even have that library workshop which contains all the knowledge of the world stocked up, if it's them, they may have an answer or two... so your planning om heading to the north?" Asks Emperor Amos

"That's pretty much my goal from the very beginning" answered Asagi

"I see... why haven't I thought of that?" Pondered Emperor

"Maybe its because your stressed out lately that you can't think straight anymore?" Said Asagi

"Is that so? Yes... that must be it!"

"....."

"....."

"....."

"Ehem! So in place for your cooperation in dealing with my own dilenma, I would then have to pull out my troop from all three kingdom's and end off the war to prevent further casualties on both sides?" Asks Emperor

"That's pretty much it"

"That could be quite troublesome"

"Troublesome?" Asks Asagi

"Due to my actions, aggression has already been created between the four nations in the middle continent, if I pull back now and declare that we wanted peace, the three kingdom's in east, west, and south would literally explode in anger since I already killed their men" said Emperor Amos

"Ah! Your right! That could literally anger them to the point that they would demand an exorbitant price toward the empire from attacking them... they would also squeeze the empire's treasury dry as a revenge for the earlier invasion... after all if you pull back now they may regard your temperament as you playing with fire" pondered Asagi

"Indeed! But who cares about their opinion! Do they think they can squeeze me dry of my treasures? Do they think they can pressure me with their measly reputation? Then fine by me! If they had the gall to fight against my empire then so be it!"

Following that Emperor Amos immediately called unto his soldier with is situated just outside his garden and ordered him to spread his royal decree

"Call off the war! And invite the ruler's and the representatives of the three kingdom's for a post war conference"

At the same time as he declared that decree, Asagi then received the reward for her effort on persuading the emperor to call off the war
