Chapter 033: A ruler thought.

Western side of the Polyphemus island.

Walking through the dark shadowy forest Riley and Ryan were roaming through the inside, both in search for the cyclopes dwelling place. After Ryan entered the room mentioning the cyclopes hideout. Riley grabbed Ryan hand walking out the room ready head own there.

Riley was flicking her hands through the air with annoyed by the insects. Ryan was casually walking up front from her unbothered by the swaddle of the insects. Marching behind Riley was a annoying Lennox that also complaining about the insects surrounding them. 

Ryan sighed looking upward. He was giving use to Riley annoying but then he had to deal with Lennox annoyance also. Lennox wrapped his hands around Riley figure he was frighten by a small frog coming at his leg. Riley removed his hands as they gripped her tight and it felt uncomfortable for her. 

"Oh, I am sorry. The creature was scare," said Lennox. Riley nodded her head accepting his apologise. 

Inside the Demon Slayer guild's. 

Black stood facing the mission board with his eyes swept looking through the board. He was searching for the most hardest mission he could found there, but none of the other missions caught his eyes as there were boring and a waist of time. Standing next to him was Vera glancing at him with a bit curiosity, she was analysing his weird behaviour closely. It been almost hour since Black been glaring towards the mission board.

Black move his hand pulling a request from the board. Looking at the request in his hand : The mission request was asking for help with guarding a member of nobility. The mission was a S-class mission with a 500 000 reward. At his side Vera pulled the mission request from Black hand lifting it up in the air. 

She widened her eyes with surprised. The mission was out of his level as Black was still a E-class adventurer. "Are you crazy! This is a S-class mission. You only S-class adventurers are allow to work them, only them!" 

"I have heard. But, I can do it," Black quite assured Vera everything will be safe. But Vera with her history of seeing lot of adventurers dying from taking on S-class, she shook her head refusing it. 

She place back the mission request towards the board. Black looked at her irritated by her decision. He pulled out his hands as Vera handed him a E-class mission request. 

"Just start from her and work yourself up okay." Vera faintly smiled saying. She turned her back walking away. Black clinched the paper his eyes turned grim with anger. 

Moment later.

Across the green grass lands of the Proserpina village. Located outside the Nike city. Loud vibrant through fields as people were farming through the fields, groups and groups of people were farming through in the fields. With quite bleak face Black was not excited to be there. 

'I should kill that mortal, this is torture!' Black thought to himself. The mission request was for labour working. He clinched his teeth while picture Vera face laughing at him.

"Hey guys, lets work fast and hard there is more work to be done." A man wearing nice clothes approached the working group. The man was the chief of Proserpina village, and is name was Zag.

He had dark hair and golden brown skin. He wore a white shirt, with blue pants and black shoes. Zag height and size stood similar to Black as their looked to be around the same age. He was a handsome and popular guy towards the people. 

After his words the people seemed to be boost by his words, working twice as hard as before. Black raised his head glancing behind himself to stare with shock with the amount of space was left to finish. He casually laughed thinking of many ways to torture Vera if he return. 

Afternoon. 

Black purge his head through the water. He screamed inside the water also boiling it hot. Someone approached him from behind patting his shoulder. After pulling out his head he saw Zag standing there. He firmly stood up straight facing Zag. 

"What do you want?" Black blankly asked looking at Zag. Zag casually laughed seeing the lack of respect from Black. He pulled up his hand for a handshake, but Black weirdly looked at it and him. 

He was caught confused by Zag kind hand gesture, as no nobility would take disrespect of someone looking down on them. Black also pulled out his hand giving Zag a firm handshake. They firmly looked to each other eyes giving e that handshake. 

"Hey, please follow me for a second," Zag spoke as him and Black began to walk around. Black frowned his eye-brows as the mood slightly shifted to serious mode. "I know you found this work to be boring, but please do not start judge our lives here. This work we do here put food on the table for each man here. Even year we work hard to sale everything we planted to bring more for the village. This might appear boring to you but its our living here."

Black stretched behind his head, and replied, "Sorry, that is not my problem. I still hate this job okay." He casually laughed looking at Zag. Zag slightly smiled with a displeasure face. 

He really thought that Black would be able to understand, but to him he was like the rest of the world. They do not understand true living as they have never endure anything hard in life. For his people life had always been hard to work for everything they have. He decided when he was still kid to change his people lives. 

"Oh okay, I see then." Zag turned his back walking away from Black side. The smiled from Black quickly fade as he knew Zag words. He too had the same thoughts his home back in the demon realm. 

The demon realm was divided by politics keeping the place from developing further. Due to the five demon lords hatred for one another they simply refused to work with each other in anything at all. No transaction or dealing were done with reign. It not like the demon lords did not have any recourses to trade with each other, it just that they did have the recourses but did not do any trading with each other. 

The reign of the inferno-demons was the harsh lands with dry cracks throughout the place, the demon-wolves reign was a lava domain covered with volcanic lava all around, the shadow-demons reign was a dark reign due to dark clouds covering the place, the vampire-demons reign was a high class were each of the vampire-demons lived like nobility, and last the succubus-demons their reign was a isolated place even the demon king would not enter.
