Day and Night finished their meals and were escorted with inferno by their side to the Lords office, the reason being the giant map of the continent hanging on the wall, Hades and Tom were still with them and lead the way, the initial panic, fear and confusion after the appearance of Inferno has subsided and everyone continued to do their jobs.
Day [well I am not an expert on geography so I don’t know if my information will be accurate but I will explain all I can now, and the rest we will need to find on the way]
Inferno nodded, for him having a basic understanding of the current world was enough, the rest could be found out as they went on, after all he might be inpatient and foolish, but even he knew the importance of information, and if he had to be honest, after his initial rage was gone he wanted to explore the lands as well, after all it wasn’t often when gods could experience the human world first hand, he would most certainly kill a lot of people but that didn’t mean he was fanatic only obsessed with killing, it wasn’t much different from what humans did as well, after all most humans killed insects when they annoyed them, let alone if they try to harm them, the difference being the insects in this case were the humans.
They reached the office and looked at the giant map in it, it was extremely detailed and accurate it wasn’t beautiful, as it wasn’t made to be looked at but to be used, so it was extremely well made and gave a feeling of sturdiness, on the top end of the map was written the name of the continent,“Kahai” the terrain was divided into three layers, the middle of which contained the biggest terrain.
Day [the middle layer is divide into the four kingdoms where humans mainly live, the Kingdom of Air, the Kingdom of Earth, the Kingdom of Water, and the Kingdom of Fire in which we are right now. Even thou they are called Kingdoms however their government is very different from one another, I once read in a book that the kingdom of Water values blood so their king is decided by the bloodline in their veins, while here in the Fire kingdom we decide our king among the saints, the one with most divine power is the leader, I am not sure but I think that the system for power in the other two kingdoms are different as well, as one values magic and the other technology]
Inferno didn’t ask questions, just quietly listened, he didn’t want to show it to Day, but even thou he knew the importance of such information he thought it was extremely boring to listen to, but he trayed his best to hide the feelings of boredom from showing on his face.
Day {he really sucks at controlling his facial expressions doesn’t he}, but Day didn’t have a choice, the pact made him be a guide and the deal was too good, so he didn’t care about Infernos feelings, and continued giving the information
Day[The kingdoms are place in the middle plane, there are also the central plane and the outer plane, those don’t belong to anyone, the species in the outer plane are just too dangerous for us humans to conquer or build anything there, as for the central plane its looked at as neutral zone of the four kingdoms, that place is the only one in which you can go if you are targeted by the kingdoms for one reason or another and you want to live normally, thats why there are quite a few criminal roaming there. This is what I know excluding the species, the monsters in our kingdom.
In the Fire Kingdom the Gods hold most power, there are many religions and believers and people with divine power usually have a lot of power in the kingdom as well, to the point of the religion and the kingdom itself being almost one and the same, also excluding merchants people rarely communicate with people from other kingdoms as they have animosity towards each other and have many wars]
Night [brother this is too boring, isn’t there something more interesting that we need to know]
Night was listening to everything Day said and was bored beyond believe, Day didn’t talk for long but to him it looked like hours.
Inferno [well if your brother is bord we don’t need all the information immediately, lets skip the none important part]
For the first time Inferno was glad that Night spoke up, he was starting to get sleepy as well.
Day[Guys I know you are bored, but everything I said till now was important information, even if its not exiting you need to know that, especially you Inferno]
Inferno felt a bit ashamed, he thought he had hid his feelings.
Day continued
Day [I wont talk about the other kingdoms, as to not bore you two more and I don’t have a lot of information on them as well, everything I know is from books and observation which I found one way or another, and the information on the other kingdoms is restricted for some reason. Now where were I, yes the people here praise different gods so there are often small scale clashes between the different believers, the main laws are three, stealing, killing and forcing people to do something against their will is a crime, there are other laws as well but I don’t know them, but the prison lord probably knows ]
All looked at Hades, he was standing beside the door with his hands behind his back observing them carefully, almost looking like a guard, he didn’t seem to mind them staring at him and just smiled.
Hades ”may I help you with something”
Night ”do you know the laws”
Hades frowned feeling a bit ashamed
Hades ”well, If I have to be honest even thou I am the prison lord I don’t know them all, after all there are many of them, and in most cases you would just need to pay fine, so not a lot of people know all of them, even Tom beside me, who usually knows such unimportant stuff doesn’t know them all”
Tom glared at Hades, the prison Lord just called knowing the laws unimportant, but he couldn’t retort either, cause Hades was right, he himself didn’t know all of them, it might sound like an excuse, but that wasn’t the case just for them, if you think about it how many people knew all the laws, almost everyone knew the main ones, but only people, which was their job to know them or were connected to them knew them all, such as judges, provers, ect knew them, the rest for the most part didn’t, cause they werent necessary either, as long as you didn’t harm someone and just live your live not creating trouble you wouldn’t need to know them at all, the laws were like invisible, not-material chains, as long as you didn’t push too hard you wouldnt even know they were there.
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
Day sighted, he knew that Hades might not necessary know them as well, but well it might actually be more weird if they were caught and could recite the laws by hearth, and they didn’t plan to cause trouble until Inferno found the people he wants to kill as well, and when he did, let alone the small ones, they would be breaking the main ones, and even before that they were already criminals, they can only try their best to cover it and not attract attention, but even in the worst case they had inferno who was probably stronger than whatever the Kingdom could throw at them.
Day[well that is that, now lets talk about the beasts, well even thou some call them beasts and monsters they are just dangerous animals, on the continent there are different species, in the kingdoms the largest numbering wise species are the humans, but they still don’t live on one hundred percent of the kingdoms territory, human territory takes around 40% from the kingdom territory the rest even thou is in the kingdom is occupied by other things, beasts or animals can bread with each other which could create a completely new animal, animals would try to kill each other resulting only in the strongest surviving and creating children, almost every average animal is stronger than an average human, but the warriors take care of them, people even take some in and domesticate them, and use their milk, eggs, meat and other useful stuff. There are some who however are extremely dangerous, which we actually consider monster which are somehow different from animals, for example Dragons are monsters, Giants are human subspecies but are considered monster cause they lack intelligence, also even thou this terrain is that of the four kingdoms not only pure humans live there, there are many sub-humans, the most common of which being elves, animal-humans which is one enormous classification of humans who have animal features, dwarfs and many others, they bodies aren’t fully human but their intelligence is high so they are called sub-humans and not monsters, usually dragons are known as the strongest large wise scale species, but every kingdom has its own King-small scale species, to which even dragons are nothing more than food, unlike dragons which reside in all the kingdoms these species are unique to their kingdoms.
Humans treat them as unavoidable natural disasters, even if humans have most territory and numbers, these species are the kings of the food chain.
For the Earth kingdom, the mystical creatures with no physical body, Daimons, the Kings of the spirits and ghosts, impenetrable to any physical attack whatsoever, they have complete immunity.
In the Wind kingdom, the giants almost as big as mountain with body shape close to human ones, the ones who can crush everything with their bare fists, Titans, Kings of the raw power, just their steps alone can create small earthquakes, they are natural machine created purely for destructions, from the four king-species they are the dumbest, but also the biggest with the strongest bodies as well, which make them completely immune to magic.
In the Water kingdom there are Sphinx, they could be said to be the King of intelligence, they are the smartest from all the species, much smarter than humans as well, strategies and traps which may harm the others King species at least a little are completely ineffective against them, they are not nearly as big as Titans, but they are the second biggest among the king species little bigger than middle-sized dragons, they are immune to skills which have harming effects, even if they aren’t the biggest or strongest among the king species their intelligence makes them more dangerous than both Titans, or Daimons.
And the ones which we must be most afraid of, they aren’t the smartest, strongest, or most dangerous but to us they are equivalent to dead, The Kings, named that mainly for one thing and only one thing, their complete immunity to divine power or God power, Satans] Day turned away from the map and stared at inferno
Day looked sharply at him.
Day [I don’t know much about Gods, but I am pretty sure of one thing, if there is one thing can harm, and even kill Gods its Satans]
Inferno couldn’t help but laugh, he once again was glad that Dey was his saint, it was true, Gods power was divine power, it was different from magic, and skills, Divine power could be said to be the power of the nature itself, the power which makes the good and the bad of the world, but was more in the good part, while Satans, or how the gods called them Devils were the biggest counterpart to the gods, they were their natural enemy, they like the gods had natural power or divine power in them, but they took it in completely different direction that the gods, while the gods use it and manipulate it they completely reject it and dominate it, they are the only beings who cant be hurt with divine power, but that wasn’t surprising, there was a certain balance in this world, the strength in that world wasn’t a pyramid, where one stood at the top, it was more like a circle, one thing was stronger than other, while a third thing is stronger than the first, but weaker than the second , and even the gods werent exception to this rule, one god was stronger than other but they werent each others natural enemy, so there were Satans, the only natural predator of the gods.
Luckily for the Gods, they were in the human world and couldn’t harm them, but now that there were gods in the lower plane, if they angered the Satans they would be in danger.
Day [but its not so bad, the Kings species have their own territory and rarely go out, so the chances of encounter a Satan is extremely small, next to none existent, as long as we don’t get close to their natural habitat we wont meet them, luckily all of the Kings species habitats are well known and encircled with defense lines, so different animals or people don’t anger them resulting in a disaster]
That was the exact reason why inferno wasn’t afraid, he knew this information, the king species were one of the few things that didn’t change in the time while he was sealed, even their territory was exactly the same, but if you think about it they were the King species after all, even though they had complete immunity to only one thing, their other defenses were extremely high as well, while their attack was almost unstoppable, nobody can move them if they don’t allow themselves to be moved, but with all that said Satans were the only danger, the rest Titans, Sphinx, Daimons werent a problem, after all Gods had only one natural predator, the rest even thou were strong they werent on God level.
Day [That is all I know, so what do we do now] Day once again looked at inferno, it was his decision to make after all.
Inferno [well, now we will go on a journey… to kill people ahahahahahahahaha] inferno laughed devilishly, like a retard.
Day and Night both frowned, showing that even if they were difference between them, the frown wasn’t one of them.
Inferno saw their reaction[well its not exactly a joke, we really are going to travel to see which people will die and which will live, but before that we need to prepare for the journey ]
Day and Night smiled with a sight of relieve, they both were afraid of Inferno just going without even preparing.
Inferno [but, first thing first, Day fight Hades]
Day[Fuck you]
