[Initializing The Golden King's System]

"What in the hell?!" Damian said as he took Ari's phone and looked at his reflection through the camera feature. His eyes widen in surprise and confusion as he saw golden eyes looking back at him, minus the Initialization text.

[75%]

"Why the hell is happening to me?!"

"Damian, can you tell us what's going on? Why are your eyes glowing?" Kai asked suspiciously while thinking back to a few moments before when his friend has brought up "Pandora's Box".

Wanting an explanation as well Ari nodded while hurriedly moving behind Kai's back.

[Initialization complete]

[Congratulations! You are now the Golden King]

Damian, looking at his long-time friends began to think back on the mysterious text which appeared in his mind. Unfortunately for him, he heard a girl's laughter in his ear, making him snapped his eyes open to look at Ari. Surprising him greatly was seeing her staring at him without a hint of laughter on his face.

(You seriously are clueless about the gift you now possess huh?) the girlish voice said in his ears as Damian quickly responded in his head.

"Are you in my head?!"

(Of course I am, You clearly know what I am with all those web novels you read in your free time. Now stop acting weird or your friends will think you have gone crazy)

"Damian? Are you alright?" Kai asked worriedly, pulling Damian's focus to him for a moment.

"I'm fine dude, Give me a second to get my thoughts in order..." Damian replied as he began trying to navigate through the menu that had appeared in the top left of his eyesight.

-Power Gauge

(I am not like those other systems, I do not have any leveling feature or those gacha features that you enjoy reading about so much. I only have a power gauge unlocked for you right now so you can see how much power you are releasing.

In a moment, another feature will be unlocked for you which you might enjoy,) the girl's voice said in Damian's ears.

"Then at least tell me what that cube was and how it got here."

(That's easy, that cube was what you humans would call Pandora's Box. It is something that while not researched much in this universe had a true form in the world of Raya 5. On planet Raya, many of the things you humans think are mythical and godly were possible thanks to the creation of that box.

Over time it became known as a legendary relic capable of granting wishes and giving people power. The box itself selects a maximum of 7 people on the planet and gives them the opportunity to have their wish granted. The box then gives them the power of a "king" based on their wish.

Through this power, they are given the ability to use and manipulate a desired ability and/or element to their will while also given them the power to accept people into their group or clan.

This effectively means that the king is sharing their power with others to a certain extent. Similarly to that one show, that you watched years ago.

This was later given the term, clansman, where people are accepted by their king and given a piece of the power their king possesses. If at any time, there is someone who wants the power of multiple kings, they can be accepted into multiple clans, though this is at the discretion of the king.

Additionally, a king's power is shown by a larger avatar sitting on a throne with both being created from the king's power, the avatar wears a mantle and crown symbolizing the king's status. The mantle and crown are decided based on the nature of the king's power.

MOST IMPORTANTLY, If the king is to overuse their power at any point in time, a great catastrophe will occur. To prevent such a tragedy the king must be killed by another king.

Finally, as to the reason why the box came here. It was because of the previous kings having a war over it. Some believed that there should only be 1 king while others believed that there were 7 kings for a reason.

In the end, they had a giant battle that created a hole in the universe, and the box was sent inside by one of the few surviving kings. They wished for someone else to realize the potential of the box. End of the story.)

When the voice finally finished explaining the origins of the box to him, Damian began to explain it to his friends who were very skeptical.

"Are you being serious Damian? That sounds, while completely cool, also completely insane." Ari asked as she stepped forward and took her phone from him.

"It is completely true! I wouldn't make things up with you both. Even my eyes turned golden! " He said desperate to be believed.

(Well, now they definitely think you are crazy...) the girlish voice said, to Damian's slight irritation.

"Are you sure there is a system in your head? similar to the one's novels? and you also have superpowers?" Kai asked a few questions again, trying to confirm the situation.

"Yes, I cannot make this up!" Damian replied quickly, he hoped that the gamer side of his friends would kick in soon.

"What does that mean then? You and six others are some kinds of kings?" Kai said as he looked up and down at his friend. "I don't see much of a difference other than your eyes."

Kai was very skeptical of what his friend was saying, he was even starting to convince himself that they were very well-placed contact lenses. He understands that the Anomaly was something illogical that appeared in the sky, but for Damian to have powers and a system was too much.

Frowning at his Kai, to the slight discomfort from Ari, Damian decided to take a few steps back.

"I will prove my powers then you will have to believe me!" He said before trying to feel the new power within his body. It was pretty hard since he had never experienced something like this before.

(It usually takes a bit of time to learn how to con-)

(Ohh, you figured it out. Nice! I knew I wouldn't have an incompetent host!)

Unfortunately with a look of skepticism on Kai's face, Damian became a bit distracted as he thought about the possibility of being seen as weird by his closest friends. While letting his thoughts wander, to the shock of the system, he activated his power for the first time while momentarily forgetting to control his powers.

(FOCUS YOU IDIOT) The system tried to warn Damian but it was already too late.

Suddenly and without warning to either himself or his friends, a pillar of golden light erupted from his body. The force of the energy being released without constraint sent a sending a powerful shockwave into Damian's surroundings.

This caused Ari and Kai to blown down the field, around 30 yards away from where they previously were.
