In a black night, a man named Ruth would commute to and from work. He works almost a day for living expenses.
He sat by the empty seat at the back of the train with his big blue coat cuddling him.
He travels two hours to home from work, every other day. Its night, so there's only a tiny number of people in. He felt sluggish, and decided to get a nap.
After an hour has passed. He opened eyes, only to find that he is lying on a bed with a luxurious design. Ruth freaked out, and was dumbfounded.
Then, two women dressed in medieval clothing came in.
"Sorry but, where is this location?" 'Oh my gosh, that was so awkward.'
"What do you mean, your majesty..?" said the maid.
"Your majesty? Who is your majesty?"
"Prince Ruth, your majesty. Are you feeling unwell?" The other maid replied.
"W-what? Prince Ruth?"
'I'm a prince?'
"Yes?" the maid said with a sarcastic smile.
"Ahh! Wait for a second, is this a castle I'm living in?"
"Yes, your majesty." the maid chuckled.
After knowing that he was living in such sumptuous place, Ruth explored quarter of the castle without knowing it has passed evening. And its now, midnight.
Ruth asked himself why was it so dark, so he looked outside a window. Startling himself and immediately came back to reality, realizing he had so much fun that he had forgot what his real mission was.
"To know why the hell I'm here, but of course not get out because I like it here."
A day has passed, Ruth has no clue of how he got in to this magnificent place. So, he planned to ask people around him information about the castle. During a week of searching, he found out that a witch was the owner of this castle his living in. And that he was the child of that famous witch. Though he never met the so-called witch, which only occur in fantasy books.
He searched for the whole castle, only to find out that his mother, the witch, was in an errand. Ruth got pissed, but also controlled not to blame himself, after getting information about what place he is living in. He could only think of one thing.
He transported to another world. Before he got here, Ruth loves reading romantic isekai comics where the female lead gets reincarnated or transported to another world to meet his/her soulmate. He had always wished he could get to another world and meet his true love, he thought this was it. But the dream was worst than expected.
Ruth is the son of a witch whom he never met. His mother, the witch avoided him because he was her ex-husband's child.
The man she loved dearly but left her for another woman. Now, she is left with the fruit of their love.
The empress witch ruled in Bison Empire, the heart of Berrenica continent. In this world, all empires of a specific continent must be named the same of the first letter of the continent their in.
It is a rule in this world, that is stated to be followed so that it is easy to sense which location your in. Although the land in each empire can be named without rules.
What makes this distinct planet special is that their is power. A power that decides each living's potential.
And that system is called The Socerer's Craft. This system consists of four main elements,
Fire,
Water,
Earth,
And Wind.
And with main elements, are also a classification of sub-elements.
Light and Dark.
Sub-elements are rare, and can only be obtained in birth. However, if you defeat a dragon lord or a powerful creature. You can have a chance to attain it, within the remaining droplets when killed.

"A power to reinforce... That's unbelieveable!"
Ruth shouted in amazement.
Today, I woke up knowing nothing. But after some time, I enjoyed it. Everyone was respectful, kind and always gave me what I want!
"Knight Ellison, do you know what power I am born with? I forgot when I fell by the lake."
I said happily while Ellison had a worried face.
"You have dark magic, your majesty."
"Dark...Isn't that rare?"
I continued to gnaw on my hard smoked steak.
"Yes, your majesty. You are born with it."
Ellison answered calmly.
"Is that so? What about you, sir Ellison?"
The knight got embarrassed and proceeded to answer.
"I have water magic, sir. It's the most common element.."
'Water magic. The most common element, why is he so shy about it?'
"Ellison, you okay?"
"No, everything's fine, my prince." He wavered.
"Call me, Ruth." I said out of the blue.
"But my prince! According to the Imperial..."
"It's an order." I glared at him.
Ellison sighed. "Okay... Pri- I mean Ruth."
"That's better." I smiled of enjoyment.
Then, a man straight away rushed in. He paused when he was 1 meter away from me. "Your majesty! I have something to tell you!"
He has a short brown beard, and delicate green eyes.
"What is it?"
I replied in concern.
"The nobles are protesting!"
'What?! I thought my assistant handled everything.'
"Take me there."
***
"Impeach that lad!"
"People are dying because of you!"
"Dethrone that unworthy king!"
***
The nobles were only shouting about one thing, to impeach me.
