"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
Fortunately, all foreboding did not always come true in the end. A few minutes before the sun dropped over the horizon, Ikaris spotted several disheveled figures leaving the forest. One of them looked unable to walk, lying crookedly on Horny's back, while another appeared to be hobbling.
"Get into your tents and don't come out again until tomorrow morning." The teenager decreed in an imperative tone.
The other villagers did not argue. During the day, Ellie had already briefed them on what they needed to keep in mind to survive here, and they were taking the threat very seriously.
Regardless of whether they obeyed, Ikaris picked up one of the unfolded tents from one of the crates, along with a few pounds of packed Rank 4 boar meat, and dashed toward Malia and the others, hoping to arrive in time before the sun set. The Tartarus Enforcer silently chased after him like a ghost.
