Jhuler and Helga!

"Here you go" Jhuler handed Helga half of his sandwich. "Eat" He said, smiling.

"Thank you Jhuler" Helga accepted his good gesture, biting into it. The team ignored their little interaction due to it being a very common view. Jhuler's love for Helga has never been a secret between them.

Jhuler has the blood of the Giants, although not pure, he looked exactly like one with the exception of his height.

Compared to humans, Jhuler was way larger, even compared to a tall human, but if he one day stood next to a Giant, he would feel like a human teenager standing next to an average sized human adult.

Jhuler came from far away. His parents hated living with people. The reason was either their huge size or the slight fear and discomfort they would see in the humans eyes.

Although they had a Giant bloodline running through their veins, they did not have a one eye like Jhuler did. They looked like humans but big.

They lived in a forest inside a wooden house Jhuler's father built himself. They hunted and harvested their food while showered in the river not too far. Life was peaceful as it should, especially with their gifted physique, as they had no issue at all performing a lot of taxing feats.

Originally, Giants were a race that lived near the mountains. They were extremely hostile to any race other than theirs. Living in caves or structures they built, attacking anyone or anything that intruded on their territory.

This hostility came from their pride, as in their eyes no other race could contest with them. Which was partially true, seeing that a 10 year old Giant has the same strength and height of an average human adult. They saw themselves as superior. While other races needed their Magic and spells to destroy boulders or run fast, the Giants could do that without it. And with Magic coming into the equation, they became a race none wished to offend.

This fear led to some agreement between Kingdoms, as they banded together and attacked all the villages and towns they knew of. The massacre and war that came from this was justified by a ridiculous excuse of them taking care of future threats.

This was the Human way of doing things. Be it in Link's previous world or this one. Humans were intelligent creatures that craved war and death.

On earth, this was very common, but with the absence of a threat they turned on each other, killing and pillaging their fellow humans.

Link read a lot about the different races, which mostly all of their suffering and/or extinction was because of humans.

The Humans won of course and the Giants were mostly wiped out. The ones who were lucky enough to survive scattered, going into hiding. This continued for years. Some were accepted into desolate villages and others built their homes as far as they could.

Interracial sex was not that rare, which led to Jhuler's parents coming to be. His father, Rahul, was born from a Giant female and a human male. While Jhuler's mother's father was part Giant that fell in love with a human.

After the declaration of the Demi-Human laws, which took a while for most Giants to learn of, led to them coming out of hiding, finally being freed from their constant fear.

Jhuler was not very blessed with intelligence but he had the strength and instincts of a Giant. He was scouted by a military personal, which led to him being here today. He was simple and innocent normally but in battle, no one dared get close to him. His instincts never failed him.

Falling in love with Helga was not very surprising, as the moment he laid his eyes on this pretty yet big and muscular woman, he knew she was the one for him. She was the only female around that actually looked like a Giant, although her size was due to her Cultivation Technique.

Helga knew very well that Jhuler had feelings for her, as he never tried to hide them and always treated her with care and kindness.

She of course never said anything, but not because she had no interest in him. He was the first man to ever care and treat her the way he was treating her. She always was looked at with disgust and repulsion whenever she liked another man due to her build. She wouldn't lie if she said that she enjoyed the attention she got from Jhuler.

Although she liked it, it was not something she wanted to accept. She came from a fallen noble family. Her grandfather, after bearing the title after his father's passing, did not do a good job. It was either gambling, adultery and other interests that led their family to ruin slowly.

They were a warrior family that served the crown, but they were quickly let go after the rumors spread about her grandfather's actions.

Without a decent money flow, no matter how many warriors they had in their family, they lost everything in their treasury which led to them losing the noble title.

A noble of a Kingdom represented the King. They needed to bear their title with pride and care. And losing all their territory and honor was enough reason for the King to take away a noble title.

The guards and soldiers left after not getting paid for a while, and the couple of warriors that belonged to the family were not enough to earn the money. Which led to a lot of pressure to fall onto Helga. She worked her ass off and was given a job with a good salary in the army by an old friend of her late grandfather's father.

Her dreams were grand, and having a relationship with someone might distract her from her goal.

"Thank you, Jhuler" She smiled.
