Tap Tycoon System! - 181 King's Request
”First and foremost, I, Arthur Solaris, King of Solaris, thank you for letting me see my most beloved once again.”
Without any care for his ‘status’, Arthur bowed his head at Nathan, truly expressing the gratitude he felt towards him.
Seeing this, Nathan was also surprised.
He did not think even for a second that Arthur, someone who has enough strength to crush him with just his pressure, would actually thank him!
Nathan hadn’t reacted yet when Arthur raised his head.
Remaining solemn, Arthur continued, “Next, I would like to request you of something.”
“O-oh? What is it?”
For the second time, Nathan was surprised again.
‘For him, A King, to say that he has a request for me with such a solemn look… I wonder what kind of important thing it is that he wants to ask.’ Nathan thought.
With that in mind, Nathan’s face also started to become serious as he waited for Arthur to say his request.
Taking a deep breath, Nathan said, “Please tell me your request.”
Arthur nodded as he opened his mouth, “I hope that you can grant my request even though it might be preposterous of me to ask this of you.”
Nathan listened to Arthur with full ears.
“My request is for you to let me stay in this ‘small world’ of yours to accompany my beloved Mari.”
Hearing the King’s request, Nathan was not able to react immediately.
After a few seconds, Arthur’s words finally started to sink into his head.
Without saying a word, Nathan turned around and looked at the vast sky of his dimensional space.
‘I guess I thought too much…’
Arthur, who was waiting for a response, saw Nathan’s weird reaction and couldn’t help but ask, “Is there something wrong? Can’t you accept my request?”
Nathan remained silent for a few seconds before turning around, facing Arthur and said, “No, it’s nothing, don’t mind it.”
“As for your request, don’t worry, you can stay here as much as you want as long as you don’t do anything that’ll force me to throw you out.”
Hearing a positive answer from Nathan, Arthur’s eyes lit up.
As for the words after that, Arthur did not listen to it and only heard that he can stay inside the dimensional space as much as he wants.
The solemn look disappeared from his face and was replaced by a big bright smile.
“Great! I like that you’re easy to talk with, Kid!” He said,
Nathan just shrugged and was about to go.
But Arthur suddenly stopped him.
“Wait, since you accepted my request, I won’t be an ungrateful person.”
Saying that, a small pitch black square hole suddenly appeared in front of Arthur where he inserted his hand in.
Looking at it, Nathan was surprised a little and asked, “Is that an item box skill?”
Hearing Nathan asking about his skill, Arthur raised an eyebrow, “Oh? You know about item box?”
“You’re right, this is an item box skill. I can put an infinite number of things inside it and I can also control if I want time to pass inside it.”
After giving a rough description of his skill, Arthur pulled out two things from his item box.
Stretching out his hand, Arthur handed the items he’s holding to Nathan.
“Here, I’ll give this to you as payment for allowing my stay here.”
Nathan subconsciously stretched out his hand and received the items.
Taking a look at it, Nathan found one of the items familiar.
“This is… a Spark!”
That’s right, one of the items given by Arthur is a Spark.
It was familiar because Nathan just saw what a Spark looks like back in the room where he found Arthur.
Thinking of this, Nathan’s face can’t help but turn ugly.
‘What? He’s giving me a Spark? I can also get it if he did not interfere earlier!’ he thought.
As if he knows what Nathan is thinking, Arthur said, “Don’t compare this Spark with the Spark in the room I was in earlier.”
Nathan did not feel embarrassed that Arthur seemed to know what he was thinking.
Instead, he was curious as to what Arthur meant by his words.
Seeing the look on Nathan’s face that seemed to be urging him to explain, Arthur opened his mouth and said,

“For example, the Spark inside the throne room I was in earlier was only of Epic quality.”
“That is because Earth has only been around for about 2 billion years. Compared to some heavenly bodies that have been around for hundreds of billion or even trillion years, Earth is still considerably young.”
“But of course, the older the age of a heavenly body, the fewer their numbers are.”
“The reason for that is, like us, heavenly bodies are also living beings. And so, they have a lifespan of their own.”
Nathan attentively listened to every word that Arthur spoke of in fear of missing something.
At the end of Arthur’s words, Nathan looked at the Spark that he’s holding and thought of something.
Raising his head, with sparkling eyes he asked, “Does that mean this Spark is a higher quality than the Spark on Earth!?”
A confident smile then appeared on Arthur’s face which further made Nathan sure that he’s right.
Arthur opened his mouth and confidently said, “I don’t know.”
Nathan almost fell to the ground after hearing that.
“What are you saying that so confidently for!?” Complained Nathan.
Seeing Nathan going mad, Arthur did not take it seriously and said, “Well, now, now, let me explain.”
“Do you have something else to say!?” said Nathan,
He is already becoming frustrated at the back to back disappointment he experienced in this short amount of time.
At this time, Arthur suddenly became solemn again and said, “As a King, of course I have my own dignity and won’t reward you with a trash item.”
Nathan immediately shut up after hearing the seriousness of Arthur’s voice.
Seeing that Nathan finally calmed down, Arthur said, “Good, now, let me tell you first about this Spark.”
