The city of glass.
A monster flying across the skies, its cracked figure dancing in the shadowed night, as the full moon shined down. It spread its magic dust in all directions, all across Paris, turning the city to diamonds.
---
At the same exact time, a tall well-kept man in the all-white stood with his arms behind his back. He stood on a massive flying carpet that floated far above the city of glass, far above the marching parade of monsters.
"Are we ready?" (First-Class Captain Sorcerer, European Division 1, Mato)
He turned around to see his fifteen Second-Class Sorcerers all in perfect order, with their arms perfectly tucked behind their backs.
"Yes sir, we are ready. It's just like you predicted. The Monsters have come to attack." (Second-Class Lieutenant Sorcerer, Squad Mato, Ren Frayer)
"Let me correct you, Ren. This is not what I predicted. This is what Yua predicted. I am merely following her lead, for if I truly predicted this horrendous event, then I wouldn't have let Marry and her squad die." (Mato)
Ren bowed down accepting his mistake.
"Yes, I will never make that mistake again,n sir." (Ren)
Ren stepped back into the orderly group.
"Good, then we shall begin the ritual." (Mato)
"Yes captain!" (All Second-Class Sorcerers)
All the Fifteen Second-Class Sorcerers in unison pulled out daggers. They raised their weapons to the sky. All in unison. They slit their throats. One after the other. Blood pouring onto the flying carpet. One after the other. They fell forward. One dead ontop of the other.
Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead.
They all died.
And lastly stood Ren. His face looking off with a grin, his dagger raised to the sky. He stabbed himself in the gut. Blood gushing out. He stood there with the same grin, the same smile.
"For humanity!" (Ren)
He fell forward dead.
"Yes, Ren. For humanity." (Mato)
Mato looked down on the marching parade of monsters. He looked at the three X-Class Monsters leading the charge.
He held out his right hand. His magic.
He pulled out a small red stone with his left hand.
The glowing moon. Its shine reflecting off the stone.
All the blood started mixing together, flowing into a lake of death.
Mato ate the red stone.
He pointed right hand. He pointed at the parade, at the monsters, the three X-Class monsters.
---
The Three X-Class Monsters looked up at the storm of red magic and light flashing across the sky.
"Volcan, what is that? Is this what those humans call the sun?" (Pan)
Volcan looked up to the shining beam of red light that reflected off the city of glass.
"No that is not the sun. That is magic." (Volcan)
"Magic? Human Magic?" (Eurus)
Volcan looked closer. It looked to the flying carpet that hovered far above the dark horizon high in the sky. It looked past the expanding red, past the small crystal absorbing blood. It looked to the source of the power. The man in the center of it all. The man in white.
"It's them!" (Volcan)
Volcan stepped up. It turned to its forces of monsters. It's hundreds of thousands, destroying the city in its wake. It looked to the city of glass.
"Eurus, Pan! Get Theia here now! We are abandoning the search for the Competitor. Our new objective... Kill all the humans!" (Volcan)
Volcan started to float. Its heat and plasma body propelling it higher and higher into the sky. It held out its hands.
Lasers and plasma in directional beams, shooting across the sky. All aimed at the bright beam of red.
It hit!
SWOOOSH!
---
"You filthy monsters are too late." (Mato)
The red crystal popped. The magic released. 
"Red Shine!" (Mato)
---
The red overpowered the plasma beams. It's wave of power shooting across the dark sky, turning the once burning world into a deeper, scarier, eviler pit of hell. 
A scarlet red sky. The blood flowing like tentacles, lowering into the world below, searching for their prey.
---
Ten seconds later and the glass city turned a dark deep blood red. Coated in a thick layer of slimy gore. All the monsters, X-Class, A-Class, B-Class, C-Class, and D-Class, were all dead. All squished, pulled apart, singed, the blood curtain turning the landscape into a hell unlike anything seen before. 
Mato fell back on his flying carpet in exhaustion. He couldn't move a single finger.
"My job here is done. I can now rest in pea-" (Mato)
"Rest is for the wicked." (Volcan)
Mato turned his stiff tired body a full one-eighty. He saw a singed being of burning skin and flaming meat, he watched as it held out its hand, standing over the dead bodies of his Second-Class Sorcerers. 
"You are not him. Where is he?" (Volcan)
"Who...?" (Mato)
"The one in white. The anomaly." (Volcan)
Mato thought to himself for a second. He thought about his situation. How he didn't have any more magic enhancing crystals. Or how his magic was almost depleted and he couldn't move. He thought about all the situations, all the ways he could go about this. He could jump off the carpet, he could try to reason with it, he could- He stopped himself. He stopped all his thinking. He came to one conclusion, one option.
Third Level Magic.
Mato closed his eyes.
"Answer my question human. Where is the anomaly?!" (Volcan)
He took in a deep breath.
"I will see you in Hell Ren." (Mato)
He held out his hand.
"Red Shine of a Thousand Corpses!" (Mato)
Mato disappeared. His body turned into a curtain of blood. A single tentacle that fell from the sky. It touched Volcan.
"Not agai-" (Volcan)
The tentacle was stronger than one from before. It was small but powerful. Not letting go and not holding back. It gripped Volcan tight.
"You tricky humans. Always so annoying!" (Volcan)
He swiped his beams of plasma across the sky. But nothing could cut it, nothing could scrape past it. The curtain fell. Blood soaked.
---
Jack and Red walked across the city of glass.
"Red, the sky!" (Jack)
Red stepped back stunned, she couldn't believe what had just happened.
"That...! No... Mato..." (Red)
She looked down sad.
"Jack that is the First-Class Captain, Mato's magic. It's super strong, creating a curtain of blood that soaks and slows any opponent it touches. It's almost invisible since it can't be stopped and will always find its mark. But the drawback is that it uses actual blood." (Red)

"So that's good, right? All those blood tentacle things? " (Jack

Monsters and Magic. A world overrun by unknown creatures, with death and misery around every corner. It seemed that humanity was on the brink of extinction...
But humans persevered. They created a force able to counteract the Monsters. They created a force of Sorcerers equipped and ready to take on the Sinister Evil that lurked in the shadows. 
They called them... The Magic Force.
But that would all change when a new member joined the fray.

For every ordinary fourth-rank Heavenly God that he killed, Lin Huang could obtain twenty thousand to twenty-five thousand types of Rule Bending Powers.
However, he obtained eighty thousand to one hundred thousand types of Rule Bending Powers just from killing one fourth-rank Night Demon Fir. It was almost four times more than what he could get from Heavenly Gods of the same combat strength.
The Night Demon Firs with higher combat strength would have even more Rule Bending Powers within their bodies.
As far as Lin Huang was concerned, killing these monsters was undoubtedly the best way to obtain EXP.
As he led the team forward, apart from letting Tu Tong and Lan Ling practice on the beginner-level monsters, he would kill the rest right away. He did not give Virtuoso and Saber9 any combat opportunities at all.
Virtuoso and Saber9 did not say anything either. They had already begun to realize that Lin Huang seemed to be extra enthusiastic about killing specific monsters.
This was because he clearly did not bother to battle certain monsters, but others he would rush in to kill.
However, the two of them could not figure out what aroused Lin Huang's interest for killing these monsters. To them, the several types of monsters he was enthusiastic about killing did not seem to have anything in common.
The team continued moving ahead in the Demonic Fir Forest. 
Very soon, Lin Huang had obtained over a million Rule Bending Powers easily. It was certainly more than several times faster than killing regular monsters.
Suddenly, Lan Ling issued a reminder, "There'll be Dead Spirit Vines ahead."
The Dead Spirit Vine was a parasitic vine monster that lived on the Demonic Firs. While simultaneously obtaining nutrients from the Demonic Firs, they would repay this by using their strength to help the Demonic Firs hunt. Their attacks were not physical like the Demonic Firs but directly targeted the spiritual-layer.
Once the Dead Spirit Vines had extracted more nutrients than the Demonic Firs could give out, the Dead Spirit Vines would usually choose to leave their host Demonic Firs and look for a more powerful Demonic Fir to live on as a parasite. This was to prevent the Demonic Firs from being harmed. Meanwhile, powerful Dead Spirit Vines that could not be satisfied by the nutrients provided by one Demonic Fir would live on multiple Demonic Firs at the same time to divide up the burden. However, such powerful Dead Spirit Vines usually possessed terrifying ability, which could support the hunting proclivities of multiple Demonic Firs.
The symbiotic relationship between the Dead Spirit Vines and Demonic Firs was a mutually beneficial virtuous cycle.
For the Night Demon Firs, the benefits they received from the Dead Spirit Vines was even greater. This was because the Dead Spirit Vines would take the initiative to hunt and kill any creatures that invaded their territory when the Night Demon Firs were asleep during the day.
Everyone in the team plucked up their courage when they heard Lan Ling's reminder, and were even more on their guard.
The Dead Spirit Vines' combat abilities were more powerful than Night Demon Firs of the same combat strength. Not only that, they had many techniques. Their overall ability would elevate significantly when they combined forces with the Demonic Firs to fight.
However, when Lin Huang heard Lan Ling's reminder, the first thought that flashed through his head was, 'Since they're the Night Demon Firs' parasites, wouldn't they have similar amounts of Rule Bending Powers and sequence powers as the Night Demon Firs?!'
His eyes lit up again when he considered this.
If that were really the case, it would mean that he would gain double EXP—double the happiness!
Naturally, Virtuoso and the rest had no idea about these strange thoughts in his head.
Lin Huang led the team forward, seemingly cautious. Not far into the journey, they encountered a new round of stealth attacks.
This round was different from the previous battle, as this time the Night Demon Firs and Dead Spirit Vines attacked simultaneously.
Vine silhouettes and branches extended, filling the air. The intensity of the attack was more than several times stronger than before; furthermore, this time the attacks targeted all the members of the team.
The members of the team were armed and ready for battle; even Saber9 looked much more serious now.
As for Virtuoso, although their expression was not visible under the mask, the rest could clearly see that they were no longer as relaxed as before.
Due to the intersecting attacks of vine silhouettes and tree branches, it was very hard to differentiate which were spiritual attacks from the Dead Spirit Vines, and which were the Night Demon Firs' physical attacks.
Lin Huang was the only one who felt unusually excited.
Seeing the attacks coming toward them, dense as rain, he stabbed a finger into the air, raising Mirror to shield everyone in the team.
This time, he raised Mirror without any trouble at all, as if he were worried that his comrades could not handle the monsters. However, Lin Huang was the only one who knew that the actual motivation behind this was so he could kill the monsters himself and obtain all the benefits.
Mirror steadily suspended itself in the air, over everyone's heads. Virtuoso and the rest were initially worried that it might not be able to provide any defense against spiritual attacks. However, they soon realized that Lin Huang's Mirror was much more powerful than they had ever imagined. Very quickly, they felt at ease and settled down to watch the scenario play out.
In the void, branches and vines surged toward the group like a furious storm. The moment they touched Mirror, however, they bounced back at an even faster speed.
On the heels of that, blood-curdling screams could be heard in the fog.
A moment later, the attacks that had blotted out the sky were completely gone, and the fog had also become silent.
Lin Huang had dominated the entire place with just one finger.
Tu Tong and Lan Ling were so utterly stunned, they could not snap back to their senses even a moment later.
Virtuoso and Sword9 looked at each other and saw astonishment in each other's eyes that was hard to conceal. This defense technique was practically invincible!
Lin Huang, on the other hand, stood where he was, sensing the massive number of rules that were surging into his body.
Just simply pointing a finger had gained him up to one million EXP's worth of rules.
He sensed that his earlier speculation had been confirmed as well.
Each Dead Spirit Vine had a similar number of rules to the Night Demon Firs that they latched onto as parasites.
The rewards he reaped this round really made him feel twice as happy!
After dispelling Mirror, Lin Huang extended his telekinetic threads one after the other to drag the carcasses back.
He was also finally able to see the Dead Spirit Vines' form.
It was a type of black rattan, the thickness of which varied from that of an adult's thigh to the size of a bucket. They were like massive boa constrictors.
What was more unusual was that all these rattans did not look entirely alike. Apart from a black-colored base, they were all different.
Some had sprouted thorns on their surfaces; some were full of fleshy tumors; some had scales, while some were covered with poisonous secretions…
Although the Dead Spirit Vines would divide into multiple branches when they attacked, one could imagine the consequences if one's soul were struck by those rattans.
Lan Ling and Tu Tong thought it was rather frightening as they watched from the sidelines.
"Store them up. Dead Spirit Vines are great materials for refining spirit weapons even in the universe," Virtuoso commented with a smile, "You should be able to sell them at a good price when we get out of here."
Lin Huang's brows shot up when he heard that. He had not expected to have an extra windfall like this.
Spirit-type god relics were usually expensive as the refinement materials were rare, what more the god sequence relics that Heavenly Gods used.
Naturally, the price for Dead Spirit Vines would be high as they were the main materials for refining god sequence relics. The demand would be high as well.
Lin Huang was even more interested in hunting Dead Spirit Vines now that Virtuoso had provided this information.
This was not merely double happiness—it was triple happiness!


Lin Huang was a 15-year old boy from Earth, on a path to live his life in a world full of monsters. With his younger sister in his care, and given only 91 days to live, the odds were not in his favor at all... That is until, he killed a vicious vampire, purely by accident. With a twist in his tale, his life was changed completely. As he fought his way through this world with the help of his troops made of men and monsters, the boy sets his sights on a much larger ambition of becoming the greatest monster hunter in the world!

And amidst all that, her system kept upgrading many into death knights and liches. After all, she had the energy enough to summon tens of thousands of giant skeletons.
And right now, she decided to put this energy into use.
"Summon skeletons all time, any high end type you can summon," Oya then turned to glance at the liches, as she gave them the order.
Oya didn't know that liches were the favourable units for Ibro, as he loved summoning them and using them all the time. for her, she only saw them as helpful as the death knights, instead she valued her dragons and giants much more.
Simply like this, she had finally found her balance inside this fight, and what would monsters do, no matter how hard or big it was, wouldn't really affect her, no matter what she would win the fight here.
The fight kept raging for hours, and both sides refused to yield. Oya's skeletons just kept increasing in both numbers and quality, while the opposing monsters just kept rising in numbers and diversity; however at the end of the day, skeletons crushed them all!
Players just kept glancing at this war with widened eyes, not knowing if they were watching a fight after a month of the game or a fight after years of playing it. This simple and direct way to demonstrate strength against all odds proved to them how mighty Oya was.
Oya was dangerous! That was what all the great powers reached as a conclusion after this fight!
If she was weaker, they might have thought of suppressing her, but she was now a hegemon in the world of power; not shaken by anything even after these long hours of relentless attacks by monsters.
As everyone thought the victory was determined, a new change occurred at the battlefield; huge towering monsters started to come out of the gates, with small numbers at first, but then with huge numbers.
Each monster was like a huge elephant, without the trunk and with long horns instead, coming out of the place of lips, making the monster seem weird and scary.
The outer skin of these monsters wasn't normal, as anyone saw them realized they were really strong, with strong thick skin acting as their defense.
Players felt small, really dwarfed in front of these huge monsters, however Oya didn't flinch back, sending all her giants in the battlefield to hunt these giants. "I want them all!" she shouted, while feeling really lucky to meet such giant monsters here.
She sent her elite skeletons, all the giant monsters went with the phoenix to attack and kill these monsters.
However, reality proved she underestimated them, as these monsters weren't fazed by the constant attacks launched at them by the skeletons. Their outer bodies never cracked against all these attacks, and in the process they stamped upon many giants, destroying and killing many already.
"Send the great giants on the field, now!" Oya didn't feel pain or anger, for a little bit, as she hurriedly summoned her elite card, the great giants she summoned from the huge bosses she killed in the dungeons.
By the presence of these giants, the whole world ushered under complete silence. The move was acceptable from the monsters, but when it came from Oya, everyone was instantly shocked!
How come she had such great skeletons under her disposal? Did she have others?"
The questions started to rage wildly inside everyone's mind, and their imagination played dirty tricks picturing the endless variety of skeletons Oya would possess.
However, the main instigator of all this wasn't aware of these thoughts, as she was now busy summoning skeletons, sending them all forward, trying to take down these monsters. "Just one, just a few, gimme their dead bodies to summon skeletons," she gritted her teeth while trying to control her anxiety and excitation.
She wanted to have more skeletons, one of those giant caliber, badly. The moment her newly summoned giant skeletons joined the fight, these giant elephants started to show signs of slowing down, and few of them even fell on their sides, unable to move.
Then the smaller skeletons moved, like a locust, covering the whole monster's body, starting to kill it!
And the deadly blow came from the huge giants, which stamped their feet over the heads of these elephant-like monsters.
"Great, keep attacking," Oya screamed, like a mad brutal psychopath, while hurrying on the back of her frost dragon, heading straight towards the places these giant monsters fell.
All who were watching the war, and they were now uncountable, had a weird feeling regarding her. They thought she was calm and collected, however in front of them, a free and impulsive maniac appeared!
If such a person was left with all this power with mental issues, then bad things would happen! that was already the frontlines of many messages sent from specific nation leaders to the whole world, trying to make a global move against Oya and the Heptian nation.
However, Oya wasn't worried about that at all. She never put anyone in her eyes, no one but him, Ibro.
As she went towards the dead monsters, she hurriedly used her skill without delay.
"Death arises!"
The next hour, she kept repeatedly using the skill without any apparent effect for everyone, but for her it was normal. Summoning such huge monsters would take time, and she had a timer already on her screen, making her realize she still had one more hour for the monsters to be fully summoned.
She didn't know the exact reason for that, as she previously thought it was an energy problem, but currently she was sure it wasn't. She had a huge amount of energy stored and she could summon hundreds if not thousands of these monsters without any issues.
The problem might lie in forming the skeletons by the system from these huge monsters, something she started to believe. She kept using the skill over any killed monster, and their number started to grow since the appearance of her huge giant skeletons.
"Rumbl!��
Suddenly, a monster's dead body shivered, and its mere shivering move made the whole ground quake under it. The next minutes were scary and stressful for those watching the fight, as a huge giant skeleton, taking the shape of an elephant, with a long thin and sharp horn emerging from its lips appeared.
"Yeah, go and kill those monsters, leave none alive," she shouted with great excitement, and what she did just now made everyone realize something, she could summon any skeleton from any monster's dead body!
They thought, just like any necromancer of any previous game, she would need time and materials to do that, with a high percentage of failures and many limitations. However, in front of their eyes, she simply summoned a giant skeleton out of a dead monster's body, simply like eating popcorn!
As they were shocked, another question appeared in their minds; what about the other dead monsters? Would she be able to summon more skeletons from them?
The answer came fast, as each ten minutes one more monster would appear, joining the fight, turning this whole battlefield into a playgrounds for giants.
As for Oya, she was the sole real excited one and winner here, as all these huge monsters were added to her own arsenal of skeletons, making her skeleton army be invincible!
Despite having these monsters, she didn't feel relieved at all, as she glanced at the distant giant gates muttering:
"Send me more, I wanna more of these giants!"
Her words were partly heard by some, while others didn't. the rumors then spread out, and everyone here or watching far away realized the mindset of Oya; a lunatic! A lunatic with personal power rivaling that of a nuclear weapon!
Oya then focused on summoning her skeletons, while her summoned skeletons started to push the monsters back, killing endless numbers of normal monsters and any giant monster they would meet.
Oya thought no more surprises would appear, however the next moment she heard a strange shrill from far, followed by the sudden appearance of a flying herd of monsters, coming in flocks without showing an end to their numbers.
"So you are going to give me more flying skeletons? You are really cute and generous," she sarcastically laughed, while making her flying skeletons, the dragon and the phoenix, to retreat towards the shield. The monster bypassed the skeletons, as their main target was Oya.
Just as they did, they were constantly being attacked by the lava giant waves summoned by the great giants! These waves came as a sudden, startling everyone, making all have a scare; as no one would escape alive after getting hit by these lava waves!
And as they imagined, any single monster touched by the lava wave was instantly killed! As many were killed, Oya wasn't polite to execute her skill over them, summoning her first airborne fleet of skeletons!
"Yeah, bring me more!" she crazily shouted, deepening the impression of her being a real maniac in everyone's impression.

Near the city of Loren, most famous for its abundance of adventurers, there was a forest that many brave souls wouldn't dare to enter.

That forest was named the Forest of the Dead.

Within the Forest of the Dead, countless monsters strived.

The human beings that have perished near the forest would somehow rise and be converted into undead beings due to the aura the forest radiated.

But the scariest rumor about the forest was about the demon that has made this forest her home.

Rumors about her bloodlust could not have been more exaggerated.

They say that when the full moon is up in the sky, she would attack any human being that is nearby, draining their blood into a bowl, slice their meat up into countless tiny pieces, and uses what is left to create monstrosities by fusing their bones together.

But fortunately, aside from the forest being her home, the other rumors were a complete bogus stemming from misunderstandings.

One time, she simply happened to be picking up bones of the undead she destroyed in order to let it rest in peace, but the human that ended up seeing her got the completely wrong idea, which ended up escalating into strange rumors.

In reality, the demon that lived her was a simple botanist, specializing in medicine that she extracted from the rare plants.

Strangely enough, she wasn't the one raising the dead, but the one who was actively destroying them to prevent them from harming the city of Loren.

But there were simply too many undead being spawned.

Before she came to live in this forest, it was a popular place for people to come and commit suicide.

She estimated that several million people have ended their lives over the span of a century, if not much more.

To make the matters worse, the forest itself grew on top of what used to be a gigantic battlefield, where countless battles have occurred.

With each battle, more and more corpses ended up resting underneath the soil, one way or another.

If the records are right, there are around half a billion corpses within the Forest of the Dead, so many have accumulated after several centuries filled with conflicts.

While she destroyed many undead, some would inevitably end up entering the city. With so many undead being spawned, she destroyed as many as she could.

But a single demon could only do so much.

Exterminating undead had become something that she did nearly every day, but unfortunately, more spawned after each time.

If it were not for her efforts, the city of Loren would surely have turned into a city of undead by now.

Strangely enough, the city of Loren is infamous for how many monster problems it faces, even without the Forest of the Dead nearby, the undead spawned from within the city as well, though nowhere near the amount that Forest of Dead produces.

Undead were not the only monsters that City of Loren was concerned with.

For a while now, there was an uncontrollable population growth of monsters.

With monsters, unless they are exterminated completely, they could always come back with higher numbers.

There was an infamous disaster when an adventurer spared ten viverns after killing almost all of their population.

Within two years, the number of viverns rose from ten to thousand, and it kept growing. This is known as one of the biggest blunders made by adventurers up until this day.

Some monsters possessed the ability to spawn other monsters, and after a time the spawned monsters would become just as powerful as their makers.

If monster hybrids between different types of monsters were created, they would be even more dangerous than non-hybrids.

By now, the only reason City of Loren is known as the City of Adventuring is because it is also known as the City of Monsters.

That's just how big of a problem this was.

And the adventurer's guild was desperate enough to hire anyone capable enough to handle the monsters.

Depending on the level of monster difficulty, the guild would pay the adventurer for each monster slain.

Paying the adventurers was not an issue, a lot of city's finances revolved around adventurers, with the corpses of monsters being used for different means.

Adventurer's guild actually profited from all the monsters that are slain and are bought by it, allowing them to sell monster parts for a high price.

The biggest issue was the fact that many adventurers go to the front lines and never come back.

Even the so called low level monsters such as goblins were highly dangerous because they never operated alone.

Adventurers would be up against an entire nest of goblins, and if they are female adventurers, it would end disastrously, with the captured females being used to expand goblin population.

And goblins were not even the biggest concern.

There were countless other monsters roaming the city.

During the night, the city and the villages within it were in most danger as the most of the monsters were nocturnal creatures.

One of the reasons Sword Lord allowed his apprentice to become an adventure is because this city has so many monsters, his apprentice would gain much needed practical experience by becoming an adventurer.

With so many monsters roaming the city, anyone could gain abundance of experience, provided that they survive.

Due to how many monsters are within the city, people try to avoid the Forest of the Dead, more scared from demon than the undead, which they suspected were animated by the demon.

Hilariously, the city is scared of the demon of the forest when she is the one thing preventing the city from becoming a zombie paradise.

With her territory covered in barrier that repelled human beings, she went out for a walk.

Human beings within the city would not welcome her, and that was fine. Demon kind was an age old enemy of humanity after all.

But to her, being able to live a peaceful life in this forest was enough.

As a way of showing her gratitude to the ungrateful human beings, she even made sure that the most of the undead spawned within the forest did not make it into the city.

Using her magic she would actively destroy the undead, but sooner or later, more would spawn, requiring her to do it again and again.

But that was a low price to be left in peace.

Due to how much humans fear the forest, she had a safe place to live in, strangely enough.

Otherwise, countless high ranking adventurers would already be after her head.

Walking through her territory, she discovered a body that was lying nearby.

It was clutching a sword in its left hand.

'An undead? How did it get past the barrier?'

As she neared it, preparing her Horn Magic to destroy it on the spot, she noticed that the body was breathing.

'Not an undead, but a living person.'

Deactivating the destructive beam that was forming between her horns, she approached the person, looking closely at what race this person could belong to.

He was lying face down, making her unable to see his head.

'A human being? But my barrier should have prevented him from entering. Did they find a way to breach my barrier?' she was a little alarmed at the notion that humans in the city of Loren may come in the future to exterminate her.

But as soon as she rolled the person on his back, she sighed in relief.

A single horn adorned his forehead. And instead of a man, he looked more like a teenage boy.

'A demon kin. So that is how he was able to enter through my barrier. That explains a lot.' Her barrier could not repel demons.

She checked his pulse.

'His vitals seem to be stable, he just exhausted his body. Some medicinal tea and herbs, and he should be back on his feet in no time.'

Lifting the unconscious boy in her arms, she took him to her hut.

'It has been a while since I have had a guest, and Zenjuro no longer seems to want to visit. I never thought I would find a living demon inside the forest, in my territory of all places…'

Due to the fact that demons are widely hated, many are in hiding, while others have been nearly completely exterminated, so within the Tazak Kingdom, while the monsters were a common sight, finding demons was a quite a rare treat.

This boy was the first demon she saw in quite a while.
