Chapter 190 - The Way Back Home (VIII) (2/2)
I approached the angel kid and he slowly backs away from me.
”Hehe, that's right, don't just dare to approach me as I approach you, you should get scared...”
”Master, your acting is so lame, make a more believable one instead,” Atlas commented.
”Shush, Atlas. I am having fun here and you are ruining the fun.”
”Wha... who are you... Aren't you human? Aren't humans extinct in this world already?!”
My ears perked up when he said that humans are extinct in this world. As someone who likes the lore in fantasy games and novels, the lore of this world is pretty much expansive. Apparently, a few centuries ago after the great cataclysm that wrecked the whole world caused human existence to be wiped out from the whole world. It was believed by many beings who managed to survive the cataclysm due to how they disappeared after.
I still remember that there were a few elves who have written some books about the fall and rise of the human race after the cataclysm. It was believed at first that the humans have been erased from existence but after a few centuries, the humans appeared again and this time, they came back a lot more developed that allowed the restoration of the human race back in this world.
The other races thought that they are trying to imitate the legacy of the human race but it seems they did not and they were the legitimate human race. It was then revealed to the other races that humanity managed to survive in a hiding underground and kept themselves hidden from the eyes of other races.
It was also revealed that the dwarves helped the humans to restore their former glory after the war, allowing humanity to return to the face of the world with the other races.
So this kid seems to be during the time where all races besides the human race were roaming the face of the world after the great cataclysm. It seems Serbal took this kid during that time and keep him encased in the shell until the time I removed him out of his restraint.
”Times have changed kid. Humans are now back and they are not an extinct species. We are as tough as those random weeds and we refuse to just die. So I am sorry to disappoint but we are not yet dead.”
The angel boy was startled by what I just revealed. It must have been a great shock for him if my assumption earlier was indeed correct.
”You are joking, right? Your species are already extinct. I doubt your species will be able to recover after you guys were killed from the cataclysm!”
”Master. I think this kid is yet to be convinced that the humans have returned to the surface after your species were thought to be extinct already.”
”Yeah. He is quite stubborn. Please recall him again. He needed time to adapt to his current situation. If you can, you can also educate him a bit, Atlas.”
”As you wish,” Atlas said and the kid who just woke up was being sucked into the summons' area.
”Wait! Agh! What are you doing?! Let me go!”
He didn't get to fight back even if he keeps his black and white wings flapping to escape from the portal. It sucked him before he can get even a single reaction.
So this situation seems to be going to be a quest a bit later on if he learned the truth about this world.
A few moments later, Dolly logged back in and a bit of an interval later, Hagane and Chase also logged back in.
”Did something happen while we were eating dinner Bladeheart?” Dolly asked.
”Nope, there's nothing happening right now. However, since everyone is here, there is going to be something happening indeed.”
”Are we going to proceed with the quest now?” Hagane was excited.
”Yes, we will now begin the journey to the elf folks and finish the quest. Our goal for today is to finish the main quest as soon as possible. We will also need to make sure our quest will be the ideal ending we needed to do. The ending of this quest will also determine the world, so let's do our best and achieve the best conclusion possible.”
