The scuffling noises woke Tigerclaw up, and he yawned and scooched next to Snaketooth. “What’s this? A letter?”

Snaketooth immediately pushed Tigerclaw’s face away, afraid that he would drool on the letter. “What’s wrong? Why don’t you get back to sleep?”

“I’m hungry. I want something to eat,” Tigerclaw said as he rubbed his belly.

“Then go boil some water and cook. I want oatmeal, by the way.”

“Okay,” Tigerclaw replied and then remembered something. “You haven’t answered my question.”

“It’s my identity card and an offer notice,” Snaketooth said impatiently.

“Oh?” Tigerclaw’s eyes brightened and leaned in again. He threw one arm round Snaketooth’s neck and shook him excitedly. “You finally got your ID card! Haha… This is worth celebrating! We need to have something better than oatmeal. Let’s go to the market and buy some dried fish and mushrooms.”

“I’m still trying to save money.”

“I can lend you some,” Tigerclaw said unconcernedly. “You’ve been waiting for your ID card for so long. How could we just let this moment pass without a nice meal for celebration? Did you forget what you said the day I got my ID card?”

Snaketooth knew he couldn’t reject Tigerclaw kind intentions.

Tigerclaw was a tall and sturdy man. He worked hard and was often much more efficient than other workers, especially when he had enough food. His foreman was aware of this and started to value him more and later even chose him to be the model worker of the third construction team. He earned a higher wage and also got a bonus, so he actually had enough money to pay for the down payment of a house.

Any migrants would get their ID cards if they gained permanent abode. The day Tigerclaw got the key to his new house and his ID card, Snaketooth egged him on holding a feast for celebration and even moved his belongings into the new cement house.

“Okay, okay. I got it.” Snaketooth said helplessly. “Let’s go later.”

“Well, that’s settled then!” Tigerclaw was satisfied and returned to his bedside and rummaged for something to wear for shopping. “By the way, what’s in that notification?”

“It’s an offer from the railway construction team.” Snaketooth drew a deep breath and said, “It won’t be soon before I go to work in the Barbarian Land outside Graycastle’s borders.”

“What?” Tigerclaw hands stopped abruptly. “When did you apply for that? Why didn’t you tell me?”

“What if you insist on going with me? This house will then be left unattended.”

“I wouldn’t go with you. No… I mean, why would I go to such a dangerous place?” Tigerclaw’s voice raised. “You know what happened recently. There are demons outside the city!”

The demons’ recent attack on the city wall had stirred up major unrest amongst the citizens. At first, the alarm went off again and again, then, there were weird monsters dropping into the city, and then the ceremony held at that night was just mind-boggling to everyone.

King Roland announced publically that they were the enemies humanity will have to face sooner or later. He also stressed that the so-called Barbarian Land was not deserted at the beginning but instead a place that was once had a nicer name: “Fertile Plains.” That was where humans used to live. It was not until demonic beasts and demons started to harass them did people began to retreat to where the Four Kingdoms are now.
