the king ruled his new kingdom as the king of all raccoons in secret, but as to not get bored, the king kept venturing to the real world every now and then, tens, hundreds, even thousands of years pass, the king even learned that it's immortal. as it previously thought that it merely couldn't age.
one of the raccoons came around with a laptop, it seemed to want to share this discovery with the king.
the year? 2000. the king tried using a computer for the first time, the king fell in love with the thing, not only does it have all the books it always loved to read, but it also had games, and anime, which the king sometimes saw on tv.
the king hasn't left his throne room in 50 years at this point, so it didn't know what people wore or did, not wanting to seem weird, the king sent a few raccoons to the real world to see what people wore and did, the king knew it could just transform whatever clothes it needed to look like whatever it wanted, so it wasn't worried about that.
not liking the style of clothes the people wore, the king opted for a simple jet black suit.
the king went around looking for whatever things it needed, the fortune he accumulated from the countless years of working coming in handy at a time like this, the king did not need money, as it did not need food, or shelter, it only worked to seem like a normal person, or to get more books to read.
the king bought whatever it needed and returned to it's castle, where it constructed a room which he thought matched how an average bedroom for a 20-30 year old man looked.
the king set it up with a computer, which he enchanted to be upgraded every time a better one got released. a few posters, and a lot of shelves where he put his favorite books. then sat down at the computer. after messing up with it a little. the king found a game called "minesweeper" and over the next week, can did not leave his chair, and just played minesweeper.
realizing he might've gotten a bit too invested into minesweeper. the king started doing what he originally wanted to do. and searched all over the internet for as many books as he could find.
the king quickly realized the internet is not a nice place. after all, he just witnessed someone called "DaveStrongMan" disrespect a perfectly good novel for something such as the main character not falling in love with a certain character.
the kind decided to ignore it, but soon found a lot more. irritated, the king left the comment section and just continued reading.
can suddenly heard a particularly loud tick of the clock, since the king was lost in his reading. he got spooked. and in turn, jumped up and turned into a raccoon. looking around, can summoned a raccoon and asked it about the time.
"your majesty. it is currently 2:37am. as for the date.. it is the 23rd of December 2019." said the raccoon in the suit.
