However, if there is no twist in the way of events, it cannot be called a story.

So, as everyone can imagine, one night, the human sun, which radiated a burning light in the center of the kingdom, went out.

After thousands of years of prosperity in this country, the sun finally went out.

So that night, when the night covered the land, everyone fell into despair and confusion.

Although they had the ability to emit light, it was too faint compared to the king's light.

And in the deep night, even if there is a bright light in the sky, people are generally asleep.

So on that night, many people died in their dreams, turning into clouds of dust and smoke.

Speaking of which, this is really a romantic race.

When you are born, it shines, and when you die, it turns into dust, and the whole life is like fireworks.

It's really enviable. (And not)

Anyway, on that night, their sun went out.

However, the night owls survived the disaster.

After the king's light was extinguished, the night owls lit up their bodies and took to the streets.

Even though most of the people in this country died in this sudden disaster, many people still showed up on the streets after the crisis.

They lit up their bodies, shining brightly and darkly, and decorating all the streets of the kingdom's cities like bright stars.

However, it is clear that they took to the streets of their own accord not to illuminate the people.

The light-filled road formed a torrent that rushed mightily towards the center of the royal city.

Yes, having lost their relatives and friends overnight, they must ask their king why the light is extinguished.

They had to find their king and ask for clarification.

So the procession of light rushed into the king's castle, shining through the golden palace like a crystal lamp.

These men rushed into one room after another, opened one wardrobe after another, and some even looted the royal family's gold and silver treasures.

But no matter what these people did, they all found out about one thing.

The king is gone.

True, their king disappeared.

Their king could not be found anywhere, as if he had gone to another dimension.

In fact, at the time they found out, there was speculation as to whether the king had been turned to dust by the dark night.

But those who came up with this conjecture were soon ridiculed by well-informed people.

Because kings are different.

All the people in this country will be turned into a puff of dust when they die, but the king will not.

The king is the only person in the country who can leave a whole body after death, and the body will remain incorruptible.

Well...... It's better to say that people in this country don't have the concept that corpses will decompose after death.

In short, at a time when the remains of many of the kings of the past are still well preserved, those who say this must be regarded as uninformed.

Therefore, this is also the reason why they are confused and panicked.

After all, if you live to see people, you have to see corpses when you die.

But their king was gone.

It made them feel a little devastated.

So here, I'm going to introduce another setting.

The lumens of this kingdom represent not only the amount of brightness that a person can emit, but also how long it can emit brightness.

After all, if the king could not illuminate for more than twelve hours, then even if he could shine a brighter light, it would have no practical effect.

So, that's why these people are breaking down.

Because many of them don't shine long enough to survive the night.

As a result, people who couldn't keep themselves alive began to find people who could keep them alive.

But after all, there are only a few people with such ability, so the whole country has been plunged into unprecedented chaos because of this.

And this confusion lasted until dawn.

In that night, the population of the entire country was reduced by 90 percent.

Those who can survive are either those with excellent lighting ability, or those who have grabbed the light source.

But that's not the end.

Because there is a second night waiting for them.

In the absence of the king as a source of light, every night will be an endless torment for them.

So the people who wanted to survive immediately gathered to discuss the election of a new king.

However, the truth is necessarily cruel.

If they could find a new king, they should have found it last night, so why wait until daylight?

In the face of this heavy fact, people have once again fallen into endless despair.

On one side is the desire to live, and on the other side is the approaching night.

No one wants to die on this second night.

Especially those who are not able to protect themselves.

As a result, new ideas sprouted in their hearts.

So here, I'm going to introduce a setting again.

The light source is something that can be seized, and when you take the light source of others, the lumens of your own light source will become stronger, but in peacetime, no one will do this at all, and no one will have this kind of thought.

After all, in times of peace, the light source means responsibility, and the stronger your light, the better your chances of being chosen to be king, and once you become king, you will be stuffed into a light bulb to act as a light source for the whole country.

No one would kill someone for something like this.

But in chaotic times, everything is different.

Because in the chaotic times, the stronger the light source and the higher the lumens, the easier it is for people to survive the night.

So, as you might expect, everyone started killing each other, and they enjoyed it.

How sad.

Just one night of light extinguishing can make this whole huge country look like this, and those barbaric traditions that have been discarded by people for thousands of years will be completely awakened by this night again.

However, while the people were killing each other, they did not notice that there was a man standing at the top of the castle of the royal city.

It was a maiden, the child of the king and queen, and her name was Yue.

And this kid is different from all the people in this country.

Because she doesn't have a light source.

Yes, she doesn't shine on her own.

So, when she was growing up, she was always surrounded by light.

But no one but her knew that while she couldn't emit light, she wouldn't die from exposure to the darkness.
