New Information

"HUH?!" Reh was shocked at the sudden outburst of this new information.

'Wait... Austro-Hungarian Empire?! One of the Central powers in World War I?!'

"So? Who won the war?" Ronald repeats his question.

"Uhm..." Reh knew. Though have no flesh, Ronald has an excited expression on his face.

"What?! Just spill it!"

"Haaaa... The Austro-Hungarian Empire was defeated in world war and spit after their defeat. The Allied hailed the victor of the war." Reh explains to Ronald what happened.

Ronald goes back to his seat and drops his shoulders, "Sigh. So, we were defeated, huh? If I were not summoned here, maybe I contributed to the war.

Should I burn down the Allied countries? Nah... Forget it. What's done is done. There's nothing I could do but...

Sigh... If Vitalius didn't summon us here... Gahhh!! That fucker!! I thought he would stop after the Demons stole the Dimensional Necklace, but he didn't... Even now, his goal is still ongoing!" Ronald.

"W-wait... I'm curious about something... Summoned? Goal? What do you mean by that?" Reh.

"Like you, my companion and I were also summoned here. I'm sure you heard it while you were staying at the Zagon Empire, the first two summoned Heroes. That's my companion and me.

And goal? It's too early for you to find that out, and even if you learn it, you can't do anything about it. Because if you matter, you were not here at this moment." Ronald replied.

Reh disregards his last sentences and focuses on the first, "The first summoned Heroes... The betrayer of humanity and the ally of the Demons..." Reh said in a low tone, but Ronald heard it.

"Puweh!" Ronald spits on the ground as if he ate something disgusting after he heard Reh.

"Ally of Demons?! Betrayer?! Those are just the propaganda made by those shitty Zagon Imperial Family! They are the true ally of Demons and betrayers of humanity, not the two of us! The extermination and enslavement they do at the Beastkin race! And the genocide they commit on their fellow human beings because of the Class they had! They are the true betrayer! Not us!" Ronald said, full of contempt.

Reh knew that this new information he acquire is important, but not now. His mind was focus on revenge at this moment.

"You said, companion... Then where is he right now? Is he like you? A talking skeleton?" Reh asked.

"HAHAHAAHAH... A talking skeleton... Is he like me? Yes. Where he is right now, I'm sure you already met him. He was located at the orange tree and the one who cut your legs." Ronald.

Reh's body shook as he heard Ronald. Yes. He remembers everything now. From the moment he savors the orange fruit to the scene where he was nearly killed by that skeleton. And the moment he swears that he would get his revenge if he survived.

"But he's not the same Flori Degen that I know. The moment we were resurrected by the Witch, one of the Demon Generals--Flori, was consumed by miasma and became a Death Knight.

Luckily for me, my Skill - Negate activated, and I was able to break free from the influence of the Witch before the Witch completed her Skill. I was able to use that chance to get away along with Flori.

Wherein we spent our existence being undead, a Death Knight, and Elder Lich here in Carnage Forest. And here we are now..."

Reh looked at Ronald with cautious eyes after he heard the explanation, and Ronald sensed it.

"No need to be cautious. As I said before, before the Witch even completed her Skill, my Skill countered it. And I was not consumed by miasma, unlike Flori. So, I could think, remember and act like a normal human, but the only difference is that I was an Elder Lich." Ronald.

Silent prevailed at the table after Ronald explained.

"Like you, Flori and I betray by the beings we trusted and believed on. We fought for them, believing that what we were doing was the best and the right thing to do.

We fought hard day by day, night by night... We stood at the frontlines to ensure the safety and comfortable sleep of everyone.

Without knowing that the true enemy was behind our backs that we protected and risked our lives.

But the moment I discovered and learned about the true intentions and goals of Vitalius Melodus Alexius Zagon, I was too late.

To prevent me from leaking what I learned, they alleged that we conspired and worked with the Demons and prevented Humanity to won the war against them.

And before we realized it and made our move, the everyone we protected turned their backs on us and cursed us to death. We were declared as the ultimate enemy of all Humanity.

But there were only a few capable Humans that could stand and face us, and to further ensure their chances of winning, they engaged and committed the greatest and ultimate sin the Humans could do!

They allied with the Demons.

Though the two of us have a high level and strong Skills, we couldn't stand and resist too long when the strongest beings of Humans and Demons race worked together to face the two of us." There was a guilty, sad, wraith, vengeful tone in every word Ronald said.

Reh remained silent as he listened to the story. Though not complete, based on what Ronald was saying, Reh could assume that there was a much higher issue and the situation regarding all of this. And Reh felt that there was a heavy atmosphere around them, so he immediately changed the topic.

"S-so... Where's Flori?" Reh asked. Forgetting that Flori almost killed him.

"Huh? Didn't you defeat him? He's the black skeleton that lingered around the area of the orange tree.

When I arrived at the scene, there was only you bloody lying on the ground and the black katana--the weapon of Flori. So, assumed the two you fought each other and you defeated him, but in exchange, your legs got cut, and your stomach churned up, causing you to knock at the death's door." Ronald explained.

"Eh? Did I defeat him?" Reh asked cluelessly.

Yes. Reh did remember that he encountered the black skeleton--Flori, but Reh has no memories of defeating or fighting that monster.

"If you didn't defeat him, you were not here at this moment. And I couldn't sense his presence anymore, so there's no better explanation rather than you defeat him.

And do you notice the changes in your body? That's a sign that you leveled up." Ronald.

'Ohh...' Reh thought. Now he knew the reason why there were changes in his body.

"B-but... Did I defeat him? I have no power nor Skill to do that. I have a Commoner Class! That's why those fuckers further escalate their bullying that's why I am here right now! Due to my slave Class, all of them treated me like trash!" Reh spoke angrily.

"What did you say?" Ronald asked Reh with his jaw wide open.

"Huh? D-did I defeat him?" Reh.

"No! Not that one! You said you have a Commoner Class?!" Ronald.

"Yeah? I do say that... W-why are acted like that? You don't need to brush on my face that I have a slave Class... I already knew that--." Reh couldn't continue what he was about to say when Ronald spoke loudly.

"Do you have your Status Tag on you?! Bring it out and let me see!!" Ronald.

Though confused at Ronald's attitude, Reh took his Status Tag from his left pocket and put it on the table.

After Reh put the Status Tag on the table, Ronald quickly took it and looked at it. After a few minutes...

"Kuahahaha... KUHAHAHAHAHA, who would think that I would encounter again someone that had this Class! KUHAHAHAHAHA, fate is a bitch, indeed!! KUHAHAAHAHHAHA!" Ronald said while laughing maniacally as he still looking at the Status Tag of Reh.

"H-hey... What do you mean by that?" Reh.

"They are fuck up this time! I'm glad that before I left the Empire, I took some of the important records into its record room! Now... They choose the wrong move of not killing you! They dug their destruction!!" Ronald.

'What's wrong it this skeleton?' Reh thought as he observed Ronald that still laughing maniacally.

"You said you wanted to get revenge on the people who harmed you, right?" Ronald.

"Yes. I said that. I promise and swear that if I survive, I will surely strike back on them!" Reh.

"Good... I would help... I would help you get the revenge that you wanted.

I will train you so that you can stand your ground and defeat all your enemies.

I will pour all my knowledge and experience into you so that you will know how Deimos works!

I will use my remaining time to transform you into the most powerful individual here on Deimos!

I hope you are ready. This training wouldn't be going to be easy." Ronald.

Reh looked at Ronald with full of determination. No matter how difficult it was, he would endure it as long as he could kill those bastards.
