3 The Beginning of the Clover Kingdom Saga (1/2)
Max tapped his chin thoughtfully, a habit that he had picked up back in his orginal world, always doing it when he was thinking of something or found something rather amusing. It was actually a pretty funny story when one thought it over in their head, how he ended up with 5 magic knight captains surrounding him with their brightly lit grimoires. If one wanted to understand the reason to why Max was just standing there with not a care in the world, one would have to go back to the beginning to when he first appeared in this world. It was actually a pretty long story.
********************************************************************************************
Max opened his eyes, his bright gold and the dark red irises flashing in the bright sunlight, the warmth of the sun spreading through his skin, seeming to seep all the way to the bone, making him feel comfortable and safe. If given the chance, he would've preferred to just lounge around on the floor for a while longer, but when one had an annoying roommate living inside of their head, one couldn't expect to sleep for too long.
”Max, get the fuck up you lazy ass,” Tilith said with her usual condescending tone. Everytime she spoke, each and every word dripped with revulsion and venom, her tone filled with condescension in every syllable. It was obvious how much she hated him, though why she hated him was completely beyond his own knowledge.
”Yeah yeah Tilith, I'm up, I'm up.” Max muttered as he reluctantly rolled over and slowly pushed himself into a sitting position. ”It wouldnt have hurt to let me sleep for a few more minutes you know. There's nothing wrong with sleeping in.”
Max stretched out his arms and yawned loudly, his arms making strange cracking sounds as if every bone was in protest against the actions he was doing. He finished his stretches before finally rubbing his eyes and taking a look at his surroundings. He seemed to be situated in an empty alleyway, one that actually smelled kinda bad, and the fact that he hadnt smelled it before genuinely surprised him.
He pushed himself up off the floor and began to stretch his legs. ”Hey Tilith, where am I? Do you know?” He was hesitant on asking Tilith for anything but if she decided to cooperate with him then he wouldnt have to stroll around blindly and could act without drawing to much attention to himself.
”Bitch, figure it out yourself using 'The Card', you should learn to be self reliant rather then me having to constantly hold your hand like a little pussy ass baby.”
While this was the expected response, Max still sighed slightly out of irritation.
'Since when have I ever relied on you though,' Max thought as he moved to lean against the alley wall. The wall was dirty and unhygienic, but it provided him with support and something to hit for when Tilith decided to push him over the edge.
”Okay, System, can you pull up everything that you know about the Black Clover? And I by Black Clover I mean Clover Kingdom, because thats really all I need to know about right now.”Max took a deep breath and waited to see if it would work, and apparently it did because almost immediately after he finished speaking a short passage on the Clover Kingdom appeared along with a map.

Clover Kingdom:
The Clover Kingdom is the home country of the wizard king, Julius Novachrono, and the Order of the Magic Knights. It is currently being ruled by Augustus Kira Clover XIII.The kingdom is a mountainous region and is bordered by 3 rival kingdoms: Diamond kingdom to the North, Spade kingdom to the West, and Heart kingdom to the South. A sea Lies to the east. The kingdom is divided into 3 different realms: The Forsaken realm, The common realm, and the noble realm. Those in the outer regions are usually the poorest and typically have the weakest magic, having just enough to easy up their mundane day to day tasks and are, more often then not, looked down upon and abused by those in the inner regions. Despite peasants being accepted into the Magic Knights, these prejudices follow them, even if they have unusually large amounts of mana.

Max scanned through each and every word in a fastidious manner, even looking it over twice more before moving his hand over it, swiping it out of existence.
So, this was basically the same world as the anime and manga that he had seen. It didnt appear that there would be any difficulty for him to navigate this world, apart from the places that never appeared in the manga/anime. Those areas would have to be discovered and explored by him if he wanted to learn more about them. This was fine with him since he planned to stick around for the long run, he wasn't planning on leaving until he had accomplished his goals, to achieve the dreams he held in his heart. He would have plenty of time to wander around Clover Kingdom in the near future.
”System, where am I located right now? Itd be a huge help if you could let me know that bit of crucial information.” Max pinched his nose as the rotten smell seemed to be getting stronger. ”Make it quick please, cause this place smells like a sewage plant.”
A minimap appeard in front of him, with hinself appearing as an arrow in the center of it. ”Perfect, thanks for the help, now please share some info on what town im currently in please.” Max liked fiddling with the system and wanted to play with it more, but the smell was starting to get to him. A small popup screen exploded into existence with a small summary about the town and Which realm he was currently in.
