In a white room there is a gate as someone goes inside.
"Hello There, my beautiful Human"
Said by 100 meter tall Angelic Figure made of rainbow colored quartz stones but crystalline and cryptocystalline quartz and many other variations.
"Oh! It is I! Silica! Oh, my my my. Look at you! I'm sorry, Garnet did this to you"
An inaudible voice was talking
"Yes, Yes... King Charl. You're so charming as always. How about this we have a deal then. It's a form of a sorry... But I ama afraid, we must take another one, of you. From another world...."
An inaudible voice talks to her, revealing a green ball of wisp.
She laughs. "Oh silly, Hey, say hello to my granddaughter for me!" said by Silica as her 7 colored 7 angelic wings made of crystals spreads as a Book appears.
"NUMBER 0: BOOK OF COLORS! TRANSCEND THE RULES OF REALITY! RETURN BY FORCE! SOUL RETURN!" said Silica as her book glows in opalescent light spreading rainbow around the white void as the green wisping-soul was thrown back in the universe and into the planet into the nose of a sleeping Carter.
In carter's dreams. He was looking at a galant, knigtly version of him with green eyes. They look at each other like a Mirror. He dances in the white void as the Galant Knight version of him follows him. He laughs as they look above. The gigantic Garnet Humanoid rat looks down at them.
"What? What is this?" asked The Titanic Garnet Humanoid rat looks down as he throws a Blue Crystalline Garnet Mouse from his hand.
Then a loud bang surrounded the area. Waking Carter.
Morning in the Palace
"Mhhh?" Carter groaned as he blinked awake. He looked down and realized he was wearing nothing but the blue underwear Glycemia had given him.
He glanced at his bulge and chuckled.
"Oh right… I'm in someone else's house."
The door swung open.
Empress Glycemia entered, flanked by her attendants, who immediately gasped and covered their eyes with fans. Vermilion shielded hers.
"Hey! I've already seen that thing!" Glycemia laughed.
"Unladylike," Vermilion scolded. "And you—get dressed. We have a lot to talk about."
In the Courtyard
Glycemia, Carter, Vermilion, Prince Red, and a red-haired girl with bright green eyes gathered around a stone table.
"Oh, pardon me," Vermilion began, standing with formal poise. "I'm Vermilion Ozman, Prime Minister of King's Land, Ozland. Very redundant, I know, but still."
She gestured to the girl beside her.
"This is my daughter, Crimson Ozman. You already know our Empress, Glycemia Ozman."
Carter blinked. "Wait, you're all Ozman? Are you… related?"
They looked slightly puzzled.
"Actually no. By law, yes," Red clarified.
Carter glanced at him.
"Prince Red, behave," Glycemia warned gently.
"Mother, it's common knowledge. Besides, in a few months, Fenrir of the United Southern Assemblage is coming for you," Red muttered.
Glycemia rolled her eyes. "Oh please. I won't be part of his 'collection,' thank you."
She stood, posture regal.
"Vermilion. Prince Red. Lady Crimson, if you'll excuse me."
Glass-like wings sprouted from her back as she floated into the air. Her attendants followed, lifting gracefully and continuing to eat midair.
"Eh…" Carter muttered, watching them leave.
He turned to Red. "Wait, so you're not related to Empress Glycemia?"
"Nope," Red replied casually. "Even though I look like both my mom and dad, I'm not biologically related to either of them."
"Huh?" Carter blinked.
Red leaned back. "Mother is half-Nephilim. She can't bear children. They found me inside a sinkhole—well, more like a crater—when Dad was exploring a dungeon with his friends from the Iris Hut Guild."
In the King's Hall
Carter stood before a large portrait: Glycemia, a baby Red, and a noble version of himself with green eyes and shining armor—King Charl Black.
He and Red sat in the King's chamber.
"Heh… Dad and I were always close," Red said softly. "Mother taught me how to be proper, but Dad let me be more of a rascal. Perfect balance."
He smiled gently. "I just can't help but miss him."
Carter reached out and ruffled Red's hair. The boy looked up, stunned.
"Dad…? No. He's dead. We all saw him die," Red said quietly.
"I know," Carter replied. "It's just… if my son had survived, he'd be your age by now. And maybe, just maybe, if you'll have me around, I'd like to be here."
He looked Red in the eye.
"It's selfish, I know. But I see Glycemia as my own Honey… and you as my own Red."
He chuckled.
"A chance I never had. Maybe I'm here for a kind of second chance."
Red smiled slightly. "Anyway, you will be part of the Royal Court. And…"
A mana screen appeared in front of him.

Red looked baffled.
Carter tilted his head. "Oh—it's in English!" he said.
"SIA!" Red called.
A mana screen opened, projecting a hologram of a cybernetic gynoid.
"Yes, Your Highness?" the gynoid replied, turning to Carter.
"Your Highness... King Charl! Pardon my intrusion."
Carter stared.
"Whoa... Your chat program looks like a person."
"No, my king. I am simply part of the Gynoid OS system, like Pineapple OS or Litmus OS," SIA replied.
"SIA… explain all this. I barely understand anything," Carter said.
SIA opened her mana screens and displayed them to Red.
"SIA, tell a joke!" Carter asked suddenly.
"Why was the computer late for work?" SIA asked.
"Dad—Carter, that's not how to use the Synthetic Intelligent Armas," Red muttered.
Carter chuckled. "Hey, you can call me Dad, you know."
"No," Red said, flustered. "Okay, SIA has sorted it out."
A voice called Red's name from outside.
"Oh! That's Greg, Maize, and Mauve. I should go now—thanks." Red stood up.
Carter rubbed his hair. "No prob, chief."
Red froze, looking back. Carter's left eye shimmered blue with specks of green.
"I must be imagining things…" Red whispered as he went downstairs.
"Only Dad calls me Chief…" he muttered, pausing by the portrait of King Charl—looking like a knightly, gallant version of Carter, but with green eyes.
Later – On the Streets
Carter walked the streets, checking his cyan mana screen.
"Oh, I should get going… mhh…"
"Good morning," greeted a man in a blue uniform and chef's apron.
"Good morning!" Carter replied.
The man, Seshen, eyed Carter's left eye.
"Are your eyes like that?"
"What?" Carter asked.
"Papa!" shouted a goblin girl wearing dark yellow mechanical overalls with yellow trim. She ran over to Carter.
"Huh? Uhmm… King Charl?" she asked, squinting.
"No, he's Carter… probably one of the Krayon Clan, like Lord Burgundy, Prince Red, Regent Ernie, or Lord Maroon."
"Oh, hi! I'm Amber, one of Papa Seshen's three daughters," she said.
Seshen and Amber exchanged glances.
"Oh… you're adopted?" Carter asked.
"Not sure if you're playing dumb or just a smart-ass," Amber muttered, looking around.
"Oh! There's Lady Crimson! Later, Papa!" she shouted, running off to greet her.
"They grow up so fast. Where are you going, friend?" Seshen asked.
Carter showed him the mana screen. Seshen touched it, then paused, startled by its unusual texture.
"Huh?"
The world stopped. The sky turned violet.
Seshen pulled out a runic hammer that grew to enormous size.
"I, Bolster, as you heed my call…
Oh Thunder of great source, give me strike that can cleave and soar.
Faster, faster—bolts and all! MJOLNIR!" he roared, attempting to smash the mana screen.
Carter stumbled back, shifting into combat stance. Seshen's eyes glowed violet.
Then Seshen transformed into a 15-meter-tall red-haired man with runic tattoos, cloaked in lightning.
Time had frozen.
Above his head floated a violet book with puppet strings connected to Red.
Carter jumped back and opened his mana screens.
New Skill Acquired:
UNIQUE MAGIC — SCREENSHOT
SIA's voice rang out from his ring.
Knowledge poured into Carter's mind. He raised his hands in a framing position and opened his left eye, now glowing green.
"SCREENSHOT!"
A cyan screen appeared and launched like a missile hitting Seshen.
Carter In hales as his body carbonizes into diamond as he runs and jumps towards Seshen; punching him in the chin as Seshen counters with a hammer smash flinging Carter in the ground.
Carter inhales as he prepares his body he stomps on the ground as his body readies to explode...as he realizes the civilians everywhere...
He remembers he was dropped in a Town as he was about to explode.
"This isn't right-" said Carter as he stops midway from exploding.
Seshen was about to punch him as he just stood and a male voice tells them "STOP!" as an eye pears into a small portal.
"Whoa! Whoa, whoa!" said by a female voice from above.
A woman landed, dressed in violet, holding a fan. She had amethyst ox horns and short reddish-violet hair.
"Oh my! Oh my, oh my!" she exclaimed, hiding her face behind her fan.
"I'm sorry. I was just too curious," she said, slipping on a white ox mask as the time plays backwards. The small portal starts to shatter as a dimension shatters like glass; a muscular man in Grayish white tuxedo with Bunny ears and bunny mas joins them. He removes his mask, revealing a figure reminiscent of Carter himself. He looked curious as he removes his mask. "Charl?" asked him as he hugs Carter. He smells him. "Weird... Why are you alive? No... Half alive...no... Why are you posessing... your own body? No... Huuuuh." said the man as he releases him.
"Mondy. That's...mhhhhh. I mean, he smells half the same, half not... but, his real body is under Grand Watcher Garnet's control. This one must be one of your kin... I mean Carbon or Bort's... We must go, Amy out!" said by her as she teleports. Mondy sighs as he hops back his portal as it disappears. Time resumes to normal.
Seshen stared at him.
"Wow…" Carter muttered, brushing himself off and continuing to walk.
A woman in cyan scrubs glanced at him.
"Strange... even your measurements are the same as King Charl's. The only difference is your heterochromatic eyes."
"What?" Carter asked.
"Heterochromatic eyes; two different-colored irises," she explained.
"I'm pretty sure I have blue eyes…" Carter said, glancing at a mirror.
He stared. One eye was blue. The other shimmered green.
"…What the… huh?" he whispered.
He looks at his manascreen. There is a home button, a mail button, an with SIA and status, something that resembles a phone, a crystal thing and BOOK-MODE.
"You never encountered any OS SIA's in your life?" asked her as she takes an injection.
"Oh no!" said Carter as his skin hardens like diamond.
The doctor knocks on it. "Chill. Diamond-like Skin Carbonization... I sometimes wonder if you, Burgundy and Prince Red are the same species my king...look-alike." as she laughs.
"It weirds me a little that... are you close to the King?" asked Carter.
"I'm one of his Orphans... It's a term for people in the Iris Cottage before he became the King... He was Sir Charl "the Charming" Black before." said by her as she opens her Manascreen and point it at Carter.
"SYSTEMS: SCAN" said By her as her eyes glow and status are shown on her screen.
"Okay! Now, can you go naked?" asked the Doctor as Carter looks at her ID: Rina Malasigan.
"Oh, your name is Rina..." said by Carter.
"Yes... Mr.... Carter White." replied Rina.
Carter removes his underwear as Rina takes out a ManaQuartz Crystal needle; she injects him as blood flows out from his vains and it turns into a red trunks. "One-piece" said Rina. Then it turns into a Red Tank top "Two-piece". Then it turns into shorts "Three-piece... huuuuh..." exclaimed Rina.
Then it turns into gloves. "Oh! A 5-piece-r!" said Rina as it creates a two socks around his feet." "Wow...7" said Rina. Then red Leather boots. "Okay...9" exclaimed Rina.
And a Red ring with a white Diamond in it.
"My Crey." said by her. "Hey, what are these?" asked him.
"Manaclothes, you think of what to wear and it will transform." replied Rina.
Carter remembers is Blue-Cyan-Teal camouflage as it transforms into his uniform He tries it out as his his gloves looked like medieval gaunlets then his outfit becomes a Teal suit with Cyan tie and he looks at his formal attire in the mirror. "Fancy" said Carter.
"Mr. Carter... You are now qualified in the skills room. Please read the fine prints on it so you will understand how a SKILL will be used." said Rina as she gives his clothes.
In the next room: There is a giant crystal depository that look like candy balls. The dwarf reading a News paper peeks. "Mhhh?" said by the Dwarf.
He reads the Label in the wall

"Mhhhhh..." He presses the BOOK MODE as it becomes a small book as he puts it in the pedestal. It opens. The area started to drop some crystal balls. 10 Red, 5 Green, 5 Clear, 15 Cyan, 5 White, 1 Black.
He smells the 1cm red crystal ball. "Wait a minute..." said by him as he licks it.
"It's strawberry! Oh... do not chew..." said by him as he takes one by one in a fast passion.
"You fool! Do not drink that so fast! It will..." said the Dwarf as Carter's nose and eyes bleed as he looks back

Carter loses consciousness
"SIA don't be like that." replied Rina.
Carter wakes up. "WHAT WAS THAT?!" said Carter.
"Good Morning Mr.White." said Rina. The dwarf bonks Carter's head with his wand. "Read before you do things smartass. My Crey; you young ones always on the rush." as he goes inside the Crystal Room on the ceiling, there is a small portal. Where Mondy was looking at Carter.
"Interesting..." said Mondy as he sits on a Fortress on the far-side of the moon as Amy sighs. "Do not do that again! This... man...is: something else." said Mondy.
