"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
'Rank 4 meat is a strategic resource. While I can use it to feed my people it is a waste for those who don't fight or are too lazy to practice their magic. It's better to keep it as a special reward, an incentive to motivate citizens to put more effort into Last Saint's development.' Ikaris pondered thoughtfully. 'As for fruits, grains and vegetables, I've almost finished the Welcome Pack, but I still have a lot of Rank 1 and Rank 2 Demonic Boar meat. Though, it won't last. I also have an abundance of Rank 1 Chestnut but eating the same thing over and over won't cut it in the long run...'
The most obvious solution was to form a hunting squad to explore the forest, but given the Hellhound Pack's degree of starvation he had underestimated the hazard of this venture. He had probably lucked out when he hunted a Demonic Boar and its cubs on his first outing in the forest.
