Chapter 7: Ch.07 About the World

<First Person from Ryan>

"There's no need to act so anxious, Ryan."

"You think I'm anxious?" as I realized my poker face was slipping in front of the High Priestess under all pressure.

Yoona chuckled, then summoned the servants to place some bread and meat onto the plates. "You are clearly anxious."

"It's hard for me to accept all of this, stuff has happened to me?"

"You will be fine." Yoona said as she took a bite off her piece of bread. "The Goddess of Nils seems orthodox in her choices, but it's only because we can't fully comprehend her visions. And is never wrong."

"What do you mean by the Goddess of Nils?"

"Our Goddess of Nils is the Dark Goddess. Her true form is kept hidden away in Darkness." Yoona explained as she took a sip of her wine. "But she's our goddess of rebirth, of life, and death."

"Life and death?"

"In this world, we have two kinds of people. Those who live, and those who die. As they say 'Only the strong survive.' plus there's the nonliving of course." She says with a smirk.

"So, how bad is the division between the races?" Ryan asked as he felt a sense of déjà vu, as if I've seen this cliche scenario in anime before. 'This sounds way too familiar.' Ryan thought.

"Very good, Ryan. You're a smarter one aren't you." Yoona looked me straight in the eyes with her with an amused look. 'Shit!' Ryan accidently let his facade slip in front of Yoona. 'Now it's going to be harder to play dumb in front of her in the future. Maybe it has something to do with the food they gave us or this mana that's absorbed into my body? I'm having a tougher time trying to play coy with the Sorellians.'

"Yes, we share this world with many other races."

"Which races?" Ryan asked.

Yoona smiled. "There are other Dark Elves, also humans, dwarves, demi~"

"And d-d-d-demi-humans!?" Hiro screeched with excitement, interrupting Yoona, that he made everyone jump from his outburst at the table.

'Damnit Hiro! I almost had my heart attack because of you!' as Ryan tried to calm himself and noticed some Dark Elves glaring at Hiro.

Yoona shook her head. "Yes, there are demi-humans as well."

'I've never seen Hiro so starry-eyed before?' As Ryan was eating his unusual elven dinner. It tasted good but it was some dark blue colored meat that looks like a lamb shoulder blade? And there were some vegetables that I can't make heads or tails what they might be from? I think I wouldn't have tried this food if I wasn't so damn hungry. 'Anyway, it seems like Hiro is contemplating how to get his fantasy waifu he's always wanted. I pity the demi-human that comes across Hiro.'

'Well let's find out who the Dark Elves are warring with?' I sighed before asking.

"So, what race is your enemy?" I finally finished his elven cuisine.

"Our main obstacle is the Alliance of the Divine Three. They're a combination of human kingdoms." As Elianna jumps in our conversation. "They're ruled by the Kingdom of Nordland and the Holy Kingdom of Chalced. When the Alliance of the Divine Three was formed, the Dark Elves were forced to make peace with them."

"More like a non-aggression pact than a peace between Sorellia and the Divine Three." Yoona adds as she sips her tea.

I nodded. "Why is there friction between Sorellia and the Divine Three? Seems like there's more to the story?"

"That is because of the current king of the Divine Three, Rolmund." Elianna said with a sigh. "He's got a penchant for purifying anything that is unholy in the eyes of the Divine Three."

"Purify?" I asked.

Elianna nods. "When the Divine Three found out about us, they sent an envoy to tell us to leave the area or be destroyed, and by leave they meant purged. It didn't take too long before Divine Three brought their paladins to purge us. It was like they wanted murder my people for fun."

"Our Goddess sent us Twins of Mournhold in are time of need to summon the Chosen Ones. So we were able to destroy those who came to are lands." Yoona says as she sits back in her chair.

As they ate their food, I was pondering over what Elianna said. "So, you mean to say that there are other races out there that want to purify all those who aren't worshiping similar gods?"

"Correct. It's not only the Divine Three that want to end us but the Angels and the High Elves wish for are demise as well."

'So I'm on the side that has Angel coming after them.' I was realizing how much more complicated things were and it wasn't good. 'So, even if I do escape from Sorellians, I'll probably be attacked by the human race on sight because of this stupid Dark Elven Necklace on my goddamn neck!' I wanted to go somewhere to curl up into a ball, but sadly I can't right now.

"What do you know about the other races?" I asked.

"There's the coalition Dark Races." Elianna says as she looks down at her plate. "They are made up of the Demons, Orcs and Vampires. The Demon Empire of Valmar is led by a powerful sorcerer named Garuda. His army consists of thousands of demons and has conquered countless lands. He now seeks to conquer the world."

"Vampires rule over the Eastern Continent. It is said that the Vampires created the Holy Church of Malacath. As for the Orcs, they're more nomadic. They live in tribes. The two major tribes are the Blood Horde and the Cinder Ash Clan, but many others exist as well."

"Wait, I thought Vampires would have been more unholy creatures than holy? Why make a Holy Church then?" Ryan asked.

"Heh heh heh. That's your human bias coming through." Yoona and the other Dark Elves laughed "What Holy is to Vampires is Unholy to Humans and vice versa." She answered Ryan's question.

'Well you got me there, Yoona.' I had to concede to Yoona's logic.

"Touche" was all I said in return.

'Well I guess their Dark Goddess is Holy as to the Divine Three Gods are unholy abominations to the Dark Elves.' As I came to this realization. I never believed in any religion back on Earth, because religion was more of a way to control the citizens that found comfort in ignorance of faith that was leading them off a 50 foot cliff. Religion was supposed to be a set of morals or standards used by people to live by. However, some religions took it too far. People in power would use religion as an excuse to oppress others who were different from themselves or the scientific community. I hated religion back on Earth because in most cases, people with wealth and political influence created religion, not gods.

But here in this new world, there were gods and magic existing together. And the gods are more hands-on in this world than what I have ever seen in my life before. And I'm assuming that most of the gods here are not benevolent either after hearing about their creeds.

"hmm..." Yoona smiled back at me and Elianna was nodding as well.

After a moment of reflection I asked. "Is the entire human race against you?"

Elianna shook her head no. "No, there are human kingdoms north of the kingdom of Divine Three that have no hostility towards us. They're neutral kingdoms, but they will unite under the threat of extinction."

I nodded back at her. After I thought for a minute digesting what I've just learned, I turned towards Yoona. "So you're okay with us because we got summoned? You don't mind us being humans?"

Yoona looked back at me with a surprised look on her face. She tilted her head to the side and then she laughed out loud. "You are so funny, Ryan." She teased him playfully.

All I can do is just shrug back at her. I was curious about how she felt about us being summoned humans instead of some other Dark Elves. If she wanted to kill us and eat our souls, then it probably would have happened by now? Or at least that's what I hoped.

She smiled warmly at me and started to answer my question. "Of course we don't mind! Why wouldn't I want you here? You are our Chosen Ones." I still couldn't tell if really meant what she was saying because it was hard to shake the feeling that she was extremely disappointed that a second human with no mana was summoned into their world when I first laid eyes upon her face. It's just weird that their attitudes towards us did a 180 in a day?

I couldn't shake the suspicion that she might be lying to me. But I have no concrete evidence to back up my gut feelings right now and I'm kinda hoping my gut feelings are wrong about Yoona and the rest of the Dark Elves. 'Maybe I'm being too paranoid?' I told myself.

I then looked around at everyone else in the dining hall. Everyone seemed like they were all enjoying themselves. That was until all of a sudden Hiro decided to announce with enthusiasm to the entire dining hall. "I know what my next goal is as your Chosen One shall be!"
