Land of Kings

Schoolboy Fyodor used a magic deck to create 8 clones—jacks and kings of each suit—and later moved them to a blank dimension, gave them limited wish-granting Probability Generators, shaped a world, and left. The clones founded 8 kingdoms as the Land of Kings. Umbrella, the most anxious, created his first subject from his shield, then built a wall to hide, ruling Zontopia via loudspeaker and ministers. When the system failed, he saw poverty and created enforcer Halberd, who crushed corrupt ministers. Meanwhile, clone Kurumaku traveled to recruit god-like Dante, breaking his leg but securing an alliance. In Varuland, resident Aru saw decay and fled to Romeo's all-female kingdom; Romeo had wasted his generator and abandoned it. At a summit, clone Spade revealed the world had unbreakable barriers—they were trapped. Umbrella, feeling guilt, gave sight to a blind man, sparking fanatical worship. A mob beat him at a temple. He later saw his statues and paintings twisted into a monstrous four-armed deity. Someone threw him a note with a strange symbol saying "You noticed too?" Panicked, he tried calling other rulers: Kurumaku was unconscious, Felix had broken his phone, Spade refused. The symbol turned out to be a map, leading Umbrella to a basement where a cult gathered. The leader—the first subject from the shield, now one-eyed—proclaimed the real Umbrella was dead, usurped by Halberd who served an Eastern Khan. Police then raided and arrested everyone, including Umbrella.
