"Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that, you can make anything happen." Ikaris, a genius student admired, exploited, and hated all his life for his brilliance, suddenly finds himself transmigrated into The Forsaken Lands, a fantasy world of myriad species born with the ability to use magic with imagination as their only limit. Alas, this gift carries a curse. The more you use it, the closer you are to death. After thousands of years of decline, the Free Races are fast approaching their demise, their survival threatened by this curse and an enemy that will not rest until it has devoured them all. Literally. Former allies and enemies, prey and predators are now cornered behind a huge wall, forced to collaborate to resist their invader. But can so much resentment and hatred be washed away so easily? Can predators and prey really overcome their instincts in the face of a common foe? Follow him on his journey from an ordinary human to a shining existence that will overturn the order established since the dawn of time. From an innocent soul to a merciless demon. From a human to something else. ----- Discord link: https://discord.gg/d8udP7Q
"I'm sorry, but I can't honor the terms of your surrender." Ikaris stated adamantly. "Letting this envoy escape after faking the destruction of your village is out of the question. The danger is too great."
Liam blanched as he received his verdict, but he did not give up immediately. Gritting his teeth, he asked bleakly,
"Why? Is working together really impossible? I meant what I said when I promised you my allegiance and that of my pack."
The teenager stared at him coolly and said,
"I didn't say I wouldn't accept your surrender, nor did I say I wouldn't eventually let that envoy escape. But your initial plan must be amended. First we..."
He then explained his intentions while pointing at Malia and Liam finally understood what he meant. If they could brainwash the envoy with Kitsune and Vampire Spirit Magic, it was indeed possible to fool the Oxyxcrest Pride for a long time by making it look like the envoy had returned empty-handed.
