I have a big black clock.
You read that wrong too.
And you read the last line twice to make sure I didn't troll you again.
Anyway, forget all that, the forty Heroes in front of me asked the same question.
I was really frustrated, but this time...
"How long have we waited to meet you, my lord." All the forty Heroes added.
This was what they meant.
"Well, I finally arrived."
All the heroes clapped and I welcomed their claps as well.
The ten Heroes behind me entered the room first and then they also clapped.
Alright. That's enough claps.
Don't make it clap anymore!
"That's enough, everyone." I finally made them stop.
"Please have a seat." One Hero said.
All of them were wearing golden armor and had the same kind of sword with them. No diversity at all.
Anyway, at the end of the huge table, there was a big seat. It was a throne apparently.
It was meant for me. I am the Hero King.
I proudly walked towards it and in a dignified manner I sat down.
Only after I sat down did the other heroes take their seats.
Erect sat closest to me and I decided to proceed the meeting.
"Why are we gathered here?" I asked but at my question, all the Heroes frowned.
Did I ask something wrong? Should I have also asked 'how long' first?
"What is it?" I asked.
It was Erect as usual... who answered me.
"My lord, you are the King. You will tell us the purpose of this meeting."
Oh. So they are just here to meet me. Everything else is on my shoulders. Sure, I'll bite.
"Fine. Let's discuss the important matters first."
I put my elbows on the table and the other Heroes also turned serious.
"Who here knows a good joke?"
That was an important question.
The heroes looked at each other and I also looked at each Hero. They all looked rich and prosperous. They all were strong and they all were... Men.
Erect told there will be women. Where are they? And why haven't these men answered my question yet?
I slammed the table. "Speak."
"Er... I know one." One Hero raised his hand. He was far from me.
"Tell me then." I want to know what these people find funny.
"Who's there?" I asked.
"Touch." The Hero said.
I know where this is going.
"Touch who?" I asked and the soldier said the last part :
Meh. It's a rip off of Ligma Balls. But how do people in this world know knock-knock jokes? I guess it's one of those things where I tell you to throw logic out of the window.
"Anyone else?" I asked.
The Hero sat back down with a sorry face. No one laughed at his joke. I feel you, bro.
One more Hero stood up.
I gestured him to speak and he did.
"My grandfather has the heart of a lion... and a lifetime ban at the zoo."
Nice. I have heard this one. They are not original. Coming up with original things is hard.
"Good one." I said and the Hero with a smile sat down.
And it seems after my praise, the willingness of the Heroes to share a joke increased. Nearly everyone raised their hands.
"Speak one by one. And if anyone finds anything funny, please laugh."
I gave the permission and from the far end of the table, Heroes began getting up one by one and shared their jokes.
One Hero began speaking :
"A woman was walking down the road naked at night and one homeless man came up to her.
He asked, 'Why are you naked? And where are you going ? And are they real?'
The woman answered, 'I am going to jump off a bridge and die.'
The man asked, 'Why? Don't kill yourself. And are they real?'
Woman said, 'I am dying for professional reasons.'
Man asked, 'What do you do? And are they real?'
Woman said, 'I am porn star but I can't get any views. So I am going to die.'
Man was shocked, 'Just for that? That's not a reason to suicide that too while being naked. And are they real?'
The Woman shook her head. 'I am not going to suicide. I am dying naked because there is a new category of porn coming : Ghost. So I am going to become a ghost, join the industry again and that's why I have no clothes.'
The man widened his eyes, 'You idiot! And are they real?'
The woman raised her brows. 'What's wrong?'
The man told her, 'You can't join the industry if you die.. And are they real?' Find the newest release on NovєlFіre.net
The woman began to think but the man spoke again, 'You'll need a man too. How will you act in porn alone? That's why I will die with you. And are they real?'
The woman's eyes sparkled. 'You are right. I haven't even thought of that. Let's go.'
The homeless man smiled and removed his clothes.
Then both of them climbed to the railing of the bridge and jumped down.
In the air, the man asked, 'Are they real? I joined you in this venture in hopes of them being real.'
The Woman showed the man her tongue. 'Why do you think I never answered your question even after you asked it so many times?'
The man's eyes widened. 'Then..'
'They are not real at all.' The Woman laughed.
'You silicon bitch!' The man died with regrets."
What the hell was that? That sounded like a snippet of a smut novel.
The Hero finished his joke and sat down.
"Don't just sit down after that. What was that?" I yelled.
"That was a joke, my lord."
"Does porn exist in this world?"
"Where can I find th- Er, I mean, really?"
"All of them. Some of them even include Aliens."
"Are you kidding me?" I never expected porn to be in this Moral world.
"Yes." The Hero said.
"What? You were kidding?"
I sighed. Of course, why would porn be here after all. The Hero was kidding.
But the next second, the Hero spoke again and told me what he was kidding about...
"Not some of them include Aliens. All of them include Aliens."
I held my head. This is just too much. Everything is out of my expectations here.
Everyone remained silent and I had to make a decision. Talking about such things doesn't suit Heroes and their King. So I decided to make this meeting right.
I stood up from my throne.
All the heroes stood up as well.
But I didn't care about them for now. I have to make sure everyone becomes righteous and acts like a true Hero.
So, I looked at the Hero who said that weird joke and in an harsh authoritative tone, I ordered him :
