The Old Kingdom (Intro)

[RancidInsanity]

Alan had to be the unluckiest person ever, or at least that’s what he considered himself. Life began fairly “normal” for Alan. Up until the age of ten, Alan enjoyed living with his parents in a two-story house in the suburbs. A large wooded area seemed to sprawl out across the entire horizon behind his house. One of Alan’s most peculiar memories actually occurred the night before the day of the first of the tragic events that would come to haunt Alan.

A ten year old Alan Roberts lay in his bed, head tucked beneath the blankets, and was just about to drift off to sleep when he saw a blindingly bright light burst through his nearly-closed eye-lids and the blankets. Quickly, getting up to see what caused the light, Alan looked through his bedroom window, the bright light seemed to be coming from somewhere in the forest.

The next morning Alan was eager to go explore in the woods, but was forced to go to accompany his parents in the car ride to a restaurant. As Alan was consumed with thoughts of the mysterious light, suddenly everything went black.

Tears poured out without stop from Alan when his Grandmother informed him he had been the sole survivor of a horrific car crash.

Growing up Alan never forgot about the mysterious light.




It was rainy day, fifteen years later. Twenty-five year old Alan was crying as the rain beat down on him in the same forest where he had seen the light in his youth. He was tired and wanted to just quit life in general, but he continued on through the woods, not sure what he was looking for, if anything. It was then Alan noticed an extremely small and run-down wooden shack, just standing all alone in the middle of the woods.

The rain seemed to intensify as Alan slowly made his way closer to the shack. A terrible clap of thunder erupted from the sky, lightening seemed to come down dangerously close, and the wind howled ferociously as Alan attempted to open the door to the odd shack. He eventually flung the door open, and immediately was engulfed in a bright light.

Alan was unceremoniously spat out by the light in what appeared to be a library. As he gathered himself and looked around, he was confused as to why he suddenly found himself in a damn library.

A voice shattered the silence of the library, severely frightening Alan, causing him to jump, “You are lucky to have found my old Kingdom, traveler.”

Spinning around, Alan saw the source of the voice, a simple floating, glowing orb of light.
“Who are y-“ was all Alan could say before the orb continued, “I am the last of what remains of a type creature called, Humans. On a distant planet, called Earth, there once was a superior technology which allowed humans to live out any and all of their deepest desires. My ship crashed here fifteen years ago, and now though my physical body has long since decayed away, my soul still haunts this ship, waiting to pass on this marvelous technology to any intelligent being.”

“I thought I walked into a shack?” Alan asked the orb

“A simple disguise program. You’re lucky you resemble what humans looked like back when we still possessed physical bodies, it’ll make transferring ownership much easier.” The orb said before unexpectedly launching itself into Alan, who was filled with sudden flashes of knowledge before blacking out.

“Hey. You alright?” a female voice asked concerned as Alan just started to come back around

Opening his eyes slowly, Alan was greeted with the image of a completely nude woman bending down over him looking worried.

“Are you okay?” the woman asked again as Alan only grew more and more confused

“Yeah I’m alright.” Alan said now taking a closer look at the woman. She was young, probably in her twenties’ Caucasian but deeply tanned, her spiky black hair was tied back in a rough pony-tail. She had fairly large breasts, whose nipples stood erect as she helped Alan to his feet.

“So you’re Alan?” The woman asked, relaxing a bit and even trying to smile.

“Yeah. Who are you?” Alan said, trying not to stare at the woman’s gorgeous figure.

“Well, I was called Jessica by the old king, but you can of course re-name me. King Rancid left me behind to help you set up your own kingdom.” Jessica explained

“Kingdom? King Rancid?” Alan asked even more confused

“King Rancid was the orb you talked with, this used to be his kingdom until he passed ownership to you. I should probably tell you, whatever you want to happen in this place, happens. You are like God in here. You can change anything and anybody, you own everything, including me.” Jessica said smiling

“So, if I wanted a ham sandwhich, I could just wish for one?” Alan asked highly intrigued

“Yes. More importantly, or at least more importantly to the former King, any fantasy or desire can be fulfilled in here. You might not realize it, but I’m actually a robot.” Jessica said as her stomach panel opened to reveal a chrome interior which in turn opened to reveal circuitry.

“What a coincidence. I too am a technosexual.” Alan said smiling deviously
