“Hmm, it seems there's more to you than meets the eye and judging by your influence over your friends, I'm guessing you're their leader, is that correct?” “That is indeed correct.” “Alright, you said your name was Luke, right? There's something I want to show you.” said Moloson as a 3D holographic map appeared. It showed Eternas in the sky and the terrain below including flat plains, mountain valleys, forests and a desert landscape. “Eternas is actually in a landlocked territory. We're surrounded by the Orcs, Trolls, Goblins and Cyclops Races. These four Races are under the control of the Witch and Vampire Race kingdoms and beyond that is the Demon King Empire. There's absolutely no way for us to escape this hell hole as we are because these Races aren't only superior in Mana Manipulation but they are also superior to us Physically. As we are now, we're no different from cattle being raised by the Witch and Vampire kingdoms. We know this how, Goblins are cruel and lustful creatures that would rape children as young as eleven years of age, they devour anything younger, the Orcs, Cyclops and Trolls enjoy consuming human flesh yet they haven't made a move on us. Which brought us to the conclusion that there are figures behind these four Races, controlling everything from the shadows, that's how we discovered Witches and Vampires. As for the Demon King, we're not completely sure of its existence but there's definitely something far more powerful overseeing the entire Forgotten Island.” explained Moloson, talking about secrets that not even Vikus knew of. “Forgotten Island? What do you mean by that?” Luke asked. “Haha, isn't it exactly what I just said? This entire place is nothing but an island. As for why it's called the Forgotten Island, it's because the Heroes left for the main continent a long time ago and never returned and we deduced that if they're still alive then they forgot about us.” “What about Magic Beasts, shouldn't they also have a share of the land?” “Magic Beasts…wow, it's been so long since one heard the word Magic Beasts. Strangely enough, there are no Magic Beasts on this island, it's just us and the races I mentioned. Demi-Humans are artificially created, we've designed a method to awaken the Magic Beast Bloodline so that they become Demi-Humans. “My final question, what is it that you want from me?” “I don't know how you did it but I've recruited a bunch of talented youths to act as the vanguard and spear of war against those abominable races keeping us caged like livestock. I want you to share the power you have with them, can you do that?” “What do I get in exchange for my services?” “That's very simple, you continue to keep your life. Do you think I'll simply keep a dangerous Demi-Human like you here. The only way you continue staying here is if you comply with my commands.” “I agree, as long as I have a place to stay then you can command me as you wish.” “Good, someone will fetch you a week from now to complete your first task, you can leave.” said Moloson as the private jet’s door opened. Turns out, the jet hadn't left the building at all. After Luke and his group got off the jet, it took off for real this time. “Is the situation really as bad as you described it to be?” Vikus asked, he hadn't gotten off the jet when it took off. “It's way worse than what I described it to be. Eternas has been silently housing hordes of rats, it's now time to force them out of their holes and eliminate them one by one.” “Rats?” “Yes, rats. There are those who've placed allegiance with those disgusting vermin trapping us here so how are they not filthy rats that need to be exterminated! You will now be responsible for cleaning up the rat carcasses across the district, and my brother and I will handle the bigger fish in the pond.” “I'll do as the Mayor commands.” … Luke didn't immediately return to the suite, instead, he walked towards the edge of the building and sat down, his legs dangling from hundreds of meters a
