According to the information I got from the Orb of Lore, their planet’s name is
Tainad. It is a green planet located in the habitable zone just like Earth. It has two moons. The smaller one named Simetus and the larger one named Ganytel.
The planet is divided into four continents with a land surface area lesser than earth. The planet’s size is about three-fourth of Earth’s.
There are four species dwelling on the planet:
> Demons: They populate the Demon continent. Currently, there are seven high noble families in the demon hierarchy. They are:
>
> Latix
>
> Torrix
>
> Wycan
>
> Lauers
>
> Dakus
>
> Kamiras
>
> Valico
>
> Each family manages an area in the Demon continent. They hold the majority of the power in the continent. Also each family has a secret magic art passed down through their family throughout the ages.
>
>
> Merfolk: They live in the vast waters of Tainad. They rule the oceans and none shall surpass them in the waters. Currently, not much information is available about them due to their species preferring solitude.
> Tainadlings: They’re the ‘humans of Tainad’. They surpass every species in development. Both as a species and as a civilization. They populate the Human continent or the Tainia continent as the Tainadlings like to call it. They don’t have an aristocratic hierarchy like the demons.
> Monsters: There are many sub-races of monsters. Some are civilized like the other species, but the majority of them are mindless brutes. They are not restricted to geographical borders. They roam around freely and cause terror and havoc among the people of all species.
Phew. That's a lot of information. There's much more, but I would like to give my brain a break.
Now to the actual reason why Osiris wants to recruit us.
There exists a throne for the demon species. It is said that the Progenitor Demon had once occupied it. He was said to be the creator of all of demonkind. The problem at present was that the seven high noble demon families are fighting for the throne. The problem originated from the Wycan family.
The Wycan family had once got a prophecy from an elderly mystic that the family that occupies the throne would become the next ruler of the demon species and would gain immortality which would be passed down their lineage. The other demon families, coming to know of this information through their spies, decided to obtain the throne for themselves. That began a five year-long war and struggle for the throne.

Although the Latix family also competed for the throne, they took notice that the infighting among the high nobles had decreased their firepower and had made them lose many of their family members which caused the middle noble families to rise in power. The Latix family urged the other families to stop and realize the situation they were in. Some families complied but they too soon joined in on the fight again due to their inability to quench their thirst for power.
Osiris being the head of the Latix family tried to ask the humans for help. But the humans were reluctant due to the fear of getting caught up in unnecessary conflict. The other races couldn't stop the conflict even if they were willing as they lacked the necessary firepower to do so.
Osiris with lack of a better idea came up with the idea to seek help from humans from another planet. He used his family’s secret traditional art to teleport to a world with humans.
Also, one more information about the Progenitor I had forgotten to include before is that all traditional demon magic art originated from him. Then the high nobles each inherited one magic art per family.
And here we are at present. He has recruited a few humans. I still don't know why he chose to recruit only three.
“All right. Now that you have witnessed my world’s history, what do you think? Are you three willing to help me?”. A voice suddenly emerged from the balcony. Osiris had moved to the balcony and was admiring the beauty of the starry night sky.
Asher replied with, “Yeah, we don’t have anything better to do these days. It’s a stressful life managing my family’s restaurant and attending school. I don’t know about these two, but I definitely want to escape from this world as soon as I possibly can.”
“It’s the same with me. This world has been really unfair to me. The deserving people get trampled upon and the undeserving are showered with glory and praise.”, said Clara affirmatively.
I did not reply to his question. I was too preoccupied thinking about my goals in life. What had I wanted to do before life got so overwhelming and stressful? Everything was fine until elementary school. I had a proper dream that I had wanted to achieve. But then, during middle and highschool, life got so monotonous to the point that I doubted if living this life was worth it. But that didn’t mean that I hadn’t enjoyed the good parts of living. But those far outweighed the unsatisfactory things about life.
“Andreas? Why are you silent? Aren't you joining us to resolve conflict in Osiris’ world?”, asked Asher with an expectant expression.
Asher broke me out of my trance. I realized that all eyes were on me expecting my reply. Osiris was still standing on the balcony, leaning on the railings, his face turned backward to look at me.
I finally broke my silence. “I have a question before I give you my answer.”
“What is it?”, asked Osiris.
“What happens after we bring peace to the demon continent?”
“You can choose to either stay in Tainad or come back to your world.”
Hmm this is what I had wanted. My delusional dream has come true. Of course, with such a great offer, how could I ever refuse?
“I’ll bring peace to the demon continent. You can count on me.”
Osiris turned forward and gazed at the stars once again. I couldn’t read his expression from where I was seated, so I stood up and walked to stand beside him.
“isn’t the night sky beautiful?”I asked, intending to initiate a conversation.
“Still not as pretty as my world.”
Look at this cocky demon even in this situation.
“Thank you”, Osiris said with a pleasant smile spreading across his face.
“Everything is going to be alright. The sacrifices that your family members made will not be in vain.”, I said solemnly.
After some time had passed, Osiris declared that we would be taking off to Tainad tomorrow. And after arriving there we would inherit our attributes. Depending on the attribute I am going to inherit, I can learn skills and grow stronger.
