Inside the king's personal quarters.
At the moment Antares was looking the plate no actually calling what was before him a plate was understatement; it would be more accurate to call it a giant wooden tray filled with various food assortments and a giant goblet filled with a special purple colored juice made by the women ant tribe.
'' hmmmmm, Zarah, will I even be able to finish all this?'' asked Antares
'' Trust me my lord, the men of the ant tribe are known for there appetite that can even rival that of the orcs, you will definitely finish your plate your highness and you might even ask for seconds'' said Zarah with a smile on her face while adding even more food on Antares giant plate.
'' if you say so...'' then Antares started eating the food that was served to him.
It had been a day since Antares had woken up and he spent most of his time chatting with Zarah about the tribe and it condition.
He had learnt that they were currently in winter and most of the member of the tribe had come in the inner part of the nest to get away from the harsh conditions of winter.
The ant tribe was located in the southern most part of the most continent and was located in an amplified manazone, meaning their territory was in a place where all weather and meteorological conditions were amplified by the mana (magic) that naturally flowed in the air. This made winter one of the most feared seasons of the year.
As Antares ate, he used his own hand because the ant tribe ate with their hands since they did not own cutlery. He kept swallowing without a second thought until he realized that the food he was given particularly good.
On his plate, on one side there was roasted meat, sliced potatoes, some kind boiled greens, some slices of something that looked like sugarcane and a thick red sauce that went well with everything on his plate. After relentlessly eating the content on his plate, he took his giant goblet and drank the juice while savoring its flavor.
'' See my lord, we may have little in the ant tribe but our cooking is surely one of the best on this continent fufu'' said Zarah with a smile.
'' that was indeed the best meal have had in a while'' said Antares as he laid back in his bed getting ready for a well needed nap after his food war.
'' I'll take a nap, do not disturb me unless it's
important'' said Antares, in his previous world where he lived as Harry Waterson, he had always hated when one disturbed his sleep. He took that habit with him in his next life as Antares.
When he said those words, he could see the worry on Zarah's face.
''Don't worry Zara, I'm just going to take a nap and as I am right now, I can tell that the mana pollution has completely left my body'' after saying that he covered himself and close his eyes and fell into slumber.
'' alright my lord it will be done as you wished'' quickly she took the tray and goblet, cleaned in a hurry and made a deep bow before leaving Antares room. She stationed 2 guards in front of his room to make sure he was not disturbed and left.
Back in the room, Antares was starring at the dark ceiling and went through what had happened before controllably shutting his eyes and fell asleep right away.
Antares found himself floating in a dark space, he could not differentiate the shape of anything nor hear what was around him. He was in complete darkness, isolated form everything. Suddenly a screen of light appeared before him.
[ Ding...Congratulation to the Ant King Antares on successfully binding with the Heritage of The Ant God Antarion...…]
Antares kept quite as he heard the robotic voice speak but he paid a great attention to what it was saying.
[ Ding...You have gained 10,000 essence points]
[ Ding.... Essence point limit has be reached 10,000/10,000]
What the hell is going now, is this one of the systems like in games or novels?
[ Would the host like an explanation of the Heritage he has received from the Ant God Antarion?]
[YES/NO]
Antares clicked yes.
