Chapter 8 :
Let’s explore this area called the Hell’s Forest, where the adorable little little kitty currently resides in.
It’s size is still undetermined, filled with massive and extremely deadly monsters.
Why haven’t they even determined the size?
Well, while the entire world had been completely inhabited. The inhabitants tend to be, well just a tad little narrow minded.
At least the most of them mainly are, especially the humans. They believed they were above all of the other races. Thus, the other races should just believe in their religion and god, not their own false ones.
So instead of trying to settle things peacefully with the “heretics”, they like any normal humans from Earth, went to war.
Now zooming out, this world has no name….Well actually it does, just a lot of different ones….so it has no AGREED name.
It has many large continents and is many times bigger than the planet Earth. Surrounding these continents are large bodies of waters, from which many kinds of creatures dwell.
On land, are living many different races, each with their own goals they want to achieve.
Therefore, within each continent, it has been broken up into several countries. Then since each continents are quite far from each other, they have little to no idea there are other lands outside their own.
With each race struggling against others, they usually can’t ask the other side for a map of their land without being stabbed or killed by something.
So this ends up with a large number of groups, each having pretty much no clear idea where they are on the continent, fighting against other races who have no clue of the other side’s territory.
In other words, it’s kind of a scenario of the blind leading the blind.
We’ll fight those people so that we can get land, YAY! But we have absolutely no idea where we’ll fight and no clue who’s even living there. SOOOO, yeah, but we must get more land to spread our glorious race across this world!
Kinda somethin like that.
Why couldn’t they map it out over time during the war?
Well, normally it might have been possible, given enough time, each group could have had a least a idea of what they were getting into. However then comes the little problem called magic.
For example, one day for some reason, a elf was walking through a dry empty area of land. He might decide that he hates the sight of the annoying reddish colored rocks looking at him, he rather prefer seeing green. So with a burst of magic, he create a lush forest where once the empty land stood. Now happy with the color of the area, he wanders off somewhere else, as he has no sense of direction.
However, a merchant who had brought a supposedly reliable map from someone thought that the area was empty. He had planned for his goods to be moved though the area and had quite intelligently, heavily burdened his wagon. Afterall, the area he was aiming for was only right past the place and it was dry flat land with nothing on it, so it was quite smart of him to get the most out of this trip.
While he could have bought a magic device for storage, it costed too much and he was a starting merchant. This was his first really big business and he put all of his assets in it.
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
So when the area turned out to be a lush forest instead of the bare land he thought it was, he felt cheated. Extremely pissed off, he was forced to change his route and move around the forest. Only to end up being mugged after accidentally walking into a bandit’s den. Left with nothing but his life and underwear, he miraculously managed to make it to the city he was originally aiming for without dying during the journey.
Angry beyond his limit, he, still in his underwear, went to the mapmaker’s house and beat the dude half to death. When the guards showed up, they arrested both men. The merchant for violence in the city, the mapmaker for just sucking at his craft. Like comeon dude! A forest isn’t empty land! What were you smoking? Cause I want some of that!
After a while, people learned the moral of the story, mapmakers SUCK. Can’t even make a MAP! It’s so EASY! Just put what you see on the paper, is it that hard? Of course, on a entirely other note, while people who were not mapmakers complained about them, they never tried making one on their own .
The result, well people really just kept getting lost everywhere. The worst parts is when they accidently wander into another race’s territory. Yeah, that might have had something to do with all the wars going on…..who knows?
As such, there were only a few areas that could be mapped, only because the place was so dangerous that people who attempted changing the place, kept ending up in a stomach somewhere. After awhile, people decided they liked living so they stopped messing with areas like that.
Now, what does this have anything to do with our adorable little kitty cat?
Well, Hell’s Forest was situated right between the human territory, who had already managed to conquer a fourth of the continent, and the demon territory. If the continent was a circle, then the top portion of it would the the entire human territory.
H = Human Territory
O - Other Territory
X = Hell’s Forest approximate area
HHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHH
OXXOOOO
OXXOOOO
OOOOOOO
OOOOOOO
OOOOOOO
OOOOOOO
So currently our adorable little kitty cat was stuck between two warring groups, where one wanted to use the forest he was in as a sneak attack on the other side.
Now, during Earth history, for some reason didn’t the group in between the two sides usually end up with the most death and casualties? I wonder why? Maybe because they got in the way? It's a mystery.

For my invisible friends who actually SAID something...yes my story WILL be really REALLY long and it's suppose to be a weird story where things randomly shows up.
I'm not saying I write whatever, just that I write whatever that makes SENSE with the story.
Bob isn't going to blow up when he is in the zoo holding a cane that's firing at invisible zombies that sprays ice cream.
