Deep within the Great Wildlands Forest, thousands of miles away from Azmonds fight with the Goblin GrandMeister and Asuras. There stands a handsome boy around 12 years old, surrounded by 5 goblin corpses sprawled out around the area.

"....Hmm....?"

The princess called Aqua came out of her stupor with an astonished look on her beautiful features as she scanned the area with her eyes and saw 4 dead goblins leaning up against a few trees and 1 goblin corpse with its neck twisted unnaturally.

"...What happened here?" Asked the muddled-headed princess.

"One second I was talking with the Ange- I mean Azmond and the next... Azmond is gone and a bunch of goblin corpses appear."

'Was it Azmond who did this??'

Aqua thought to herself with a slightly infatuated look on her face when she saw the bloody and 'dashing' figure of Azmond scavenging through the goblin corpses looking for valuables.

"Tsk! There is absolutely nothing of value on these green piggies! Why are they so poor?? Every single one of them was in the Core Formation Realm and yet they only have peanuts on them."

Azmond spoke out loud to himself with a slightly annoyed look.

"Whatever, I guess I should go talk to that weird Aqua girl. I hope she has some useful information on this world."

Azmond spoke to himself as he looked in the direction of the still slightly dazed Aqua and started walking over to her.

This action of Azmonds caused Aqua to become nervous as she put her head down and looked at the ground as if something interesting was there.

"Hello? Aqua?"

Azmond asked the meek princess with a concerned look on his divine facial features.

When Aqua heard her 'Angel' speak to her in such a 'kind' and 'sweet' tone, a large rosy blush appeared on her beautiful face as she started twiddling with her fingers underneath her long blue hair.

'Is she really braindead?? Or some sort of zombie? I don't think that is the case... but anything is possible in the World of Cultivation so I won't cross out that possibility just yet.'

Azmond thought to himself with a thinking face.

"Hey wake up girlie!"

Azmond spoke a little louder directly next to the princess's ear as he was mere inches away from the princess's face.

"Hwhat?"

Aqua responded out loud as she suddenly bit her tongue and tripped over her feet a little.

'He's gonna think I'm a stupid ditsy girl, isn't he?... NO, I can't allow that to happen! Quickly think of something to fix this situation Aqua!'

Aqua thought to herself with her thoughts in disarray as she thought of something that she thought would mend her misunderstanding.

She quickly reorganized herself and stood up straight, with a face that made it seem like her tripping never happened, and said with a face as serious as she could make it.

"What nice weather we are having today, isn't it so nice Sir Azmondis it not Sir Azmond?"

Aqua said with a questioning tone.

'Is this odd girl on some weird substance or something??'

Azmond thought to himself with a bewildered look on his face.

If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

'Are all the people of this world like this or is she a special case?'

'Whatever, I am just gonna ask her straight up where we are.'

Azmond went straight to the point and asked Aqua something that he has been dying to know for a while now.

"Where are we right now?"

'Did he just ask where we are? How does he not know where he is? Is he lost?'

Aqua thought to herself with a barrage of questions as she responded with the most logical answer she could think of.

"We are in the forest?"

She said with a confused look on her face as if she didn't know what the correct answer to the question was.

"I know that much... I was asking what forest are we currently in right now?"

Azmond responded with a look of disbelief... Did this girl think he was stupid or something?

"How do you not know what forest you entered into Angel?"

Aqua asked with an even more bewildered look on her beautiful face.

"It is complicated... and I said to stop calling me 'Angel', It is weird and I already told you my name so use it."

Azmond responded with a neutral look on his face.

"As you wish Ang- I mean Azmond."

Azmond was about to reprimand the girl again until he heard the last part of her sentence.

"Good, now could you kindly tell me which forest we are standing in?"

Azmond asked with a nod of approval at his name being called correctly.

Aqua couldn't understand why Azmond didn't know what forest he was in, but she answered his question truthfully anyway.

"We are in The Great Wildlands Forest, a wide expanse of forest that stretches on for hundreds of thousands of miles in every direction. A very dangerous Forest where even Strong Golden Core Realm Cultivators go missing occasionally. It is home to over a dozen different monster kingdoms and borders both the SunBurn and AquaRing kingdoms."

Aqua responded with a knowledgeable look as she looked towards Azmond expecting some praise out of the corner of her eye.

"I see... Thank you for the information. Could you tell me what the world, or continent, or whatever we are on is called as well?"

'He said 'Thank you'... Hehe...'

Aqua sported a goofy look on her face as she started giggling to herself.

'This girl is an odd one...'

Azmond thought to himself.

"You're not very good at focusing, are you?"

Azmond asked Aqua.

"Oh, sorry? What did you say?"

That's right, Aqua didn't even hear the full question as she was lost in her own little world when it was asked.

"I said, What World or Continent are we on right now?"

Azmond asked once again.

"You don't even know the world you are in? Have you never been outside since you were born or something?"

Aqua asked with a quizzical look on her face.

"As I said, it’s complicated... could you please just tell me?"

Azmond asked with an impatient look.

"Hmm... Alright, we are in The World of Asterion! A world where the strong rule over the weak, a cruel world indeed..."

Aqua responded as her face took on a look of sadness as she remembered the cruelty she was about to experience not even a few minutes prior.

"The World of Asterion huh?"

Azmond's face turned into his usual creepy smile as he finally learned the name of the world he was thrown into.

'Asterion is a fine name for the first stepping stone on my journey to power!'

Azmond thought to himself until Aqua continued speaking from where she left off.

"We are in one of the 5 continents of this world, It is called |The Azure Blank Continent!| In one of the 12 provinces that make up this continent, |The Divine Sun Province|. A province that is home to hundreds of Kingdoms and 6 Huge Empires that lord over the land with an iron fist. The closest Empire to us is The Fire God Empire which is a few million miles to the North of the Great Wildlands Forest."

Aqua said with a serious face.

"I see... this information is of great use to me, Aqua... Thank you."

Azmond responded to Aqua with a look of gratitude and a gentle smile on his handsome face.

Aqua was lost in Azmond's smile for a second... before she quickly snapped out of it and responded to Azmond with a slight blush on her face.

"You Welcome..."

Aqua's hair covered her face again as she looked at the ground with a happy smile on her beautiful face.

Azmond suddenly remembered something that he forgot to ask the Princess.

"Have you by chance heard of an area where a bunch of strong goblins could be congregating at? I met some fairly strong goblins who attacked me a few hours ago, and was looking to give them a little payback..."

Azmond's smile grew disproportionately when he thought of finding the green piggie who put a target on his back. A smile that Aqua thought looked like the most beautiful smile she had ever seen as she stared at Azmond with a love-struck face. She quickly responded to him after getting in another few seconds of gazing at his smile.

"Yes, there is a kingdom to the East of us where powerful Goblins rule over."

"How strong are they?"

Azmond asked with an expectant smile.

"The strongest of them are in the Golden Core Phase with their King being at the very peak of the Golden Core Realm. Some even say that he is half a step into the Nascent Soul Realm!"

Aqua replied with a weary look as she waited to see Azmond's reaction to what she said, However…his reaction was far from what she expected.

"Golden Core Realm Cultivators huh?.... Hahahahaha!"

Azmond's demonic smile once again grew till it reached his ears as he started laughing like a maniac.

"I can't wait!!"

Azmond's demonic smile turned into an expectant one as he looked into the distance

where he saw the future of him fighting stronger enemies in the not-too-distant future.
