<180/300 EXP>
Arthur's level had gone from two to five in the course of one night needless to say he felt good, however he noticed something the stronger he got the less EXP he obtained from defeating regular people, the brunt of his EXP came from the quest and he thought to himself that eventually even that wouldn't be enough.
'I'm gonna have to find a new way to obtain EXP eventually, but until then I feel great'
it had only been a few days since Arthur obtained the Excalibur but looking at himself he definitely looked different, he no longer looked scrawny his ribs no longer showed but infact he looked a little muscular not enough to have a six-pack or anything like that but enough that it was muscular. No longer did he have his long unkempt and dirty hair but now it was cut to just below shoulder length was a shiny golden colour and was much neater he kept the back of it in a bun and he had seemed to grow an inch or two, needless to say he looked as if he was growing into his position as the king.
"Hey, Arthur" Augustine said "We uh, have a noble party that you have to attend"
Arthur looked horrified
"Really? There's no way I can miss it!?" Arthur replied
"No" Augustine announced bluntly "it's part of your duties, besides it'd be good for you to make some connections you'll need then with well y'know"
"Do I have to wear that stuff royal attire"
"...Yes"
"Damn it"

And so the time had come for his arrival at the 'Royal Party' and Arthur had decided to have a bit of fun on his arrival, the room was light up by what appeared to be stones, these stones were very rare believed to be parts of extinct beasts yet there were dozens of them here which would have cost a fortune luckily the nobles had more than one of those. However, when Arthur came to investigate the place earlier that day he had gotten an odd prompt from his system.
The moment he saw this Arthur had an idea on how to leave an impression on the nobles using his new skill...
Many nobles had already arrived and it was time for Arthur to make his appearance and suddenly the lights all went out and the room had be plunged into total darkness.
"What is happening" one of the nobles questioned
But then they all saw a wave of yellow fly through the room then another and finally a third then they heard;
"Kneel!"
All of them felt compelled to do so but only a few of them resisted and then they heard footsteps *tap* … *tap* … *tap* and when the lights came back on they saw something, Arthur the king sat there on a throne in-front of the letter A engraved into the wall eating an apple.
"Did I... keep you waiting?" Arthur asked breaking the silence.
