Mehmet looked around while flying and saw how big this forest really is. İt had enough land to become widest city of his country with a mountain as a center of it. He saw huge flying beasts time to time most of them looked like a type of dinosaurs like pterodactyl. He saw tornadoes on the horizon. They landed on the peak of the mountain at the center of the forest. The peak of the mountain was flat like it was slashed from side to side. There was a house with ivy covered walls and a brown roof looked like a tree bent itself to become a roof. They landed on the huge garden in front of house. There was no fence around the garden other than huge trees. Animals was running and jumping around trees and some man-made looking caves. Orbryn went closer to ivy covered wall and ivies made a way like opened curtain.
“Let's go inside.”
Mehmet followed Orbryn inside and sat on the sofa inside.
“Let me see your injury, it has been long time since I healed a human so I want to be careful.”
Mehmet showed his back to Orbryn but there was no burn or injury there anymore. Orbryn shocked to see how fast he recovered from it, burns do not heal fast normally especially for humans.
“It seems you have affinity for nature energy and have a fast recovery for a human. This place is full of nature energy, there is not a trace of burn on your back anymore. I will make tea and bring some snacks I made let us talk then.” said Orbryn kindly and went to another room.
Mehmet thought no wonder he did not feel any pain. He was feeling grateful to God who gave him blessings. He accepted fight against dark forces as his duty but he needed to get stronger for that and he did not know how to get stronger.
“Is Orbryn hermit or sage or something like that? Maybe he can help me get stronger, I wonder why is he living on a mountain alone? Is he even human? If he is not, what is he?]
“A WHAT???”
New words and new questions coming one after another again.
“What are those? My head will explode one of those days from new information coming one after another without a break.”
Mehmet had no knowledge or idea what is Shiure talking about at all. He only understood that “a mortal can become something like god” that is all.
“I can not see any country or elf around. I should ask him why he is living here alone. What is a demigod then?”
While Mehmet getting lessons about elves and demigods, Orbryn came back with a tray in his hands with 2 cups of tea and some biscuit like snacks.
“Let’s talk now.”
Mehmet took a sip from his cup. Tea had floral aroma and fragrance like chamomile tea. It was literally taste of other world he even suspected it had addicting properties or something.
“It has really nice taste and fragrance, thank you.”
“You are welcome, It is my hobby making teas from flowers I raised myself. Let me introduce myself again I am Orbryn Turania, I live in this forest alone in harmony with mountain and forest. May I know who you are and why are you here in Forest of the Disaster?” said Orbryn politely.

Mehmet noticed his surname was same as language Orbryn said he was talking and convinced that he really is royalty of that country called Turania. Name of the forest was disturbing as well for Mehmet who had bad days with disasters.
“I am Mehmet Kurt. It is quite hard for me to explain why am I here in this forest, I am not sure myself. I got teleported here without knowing the reason.”
“Teleported? That is not something an ordinary human capable of even if they teleport you from right outside of the forest. This forest is so big and no one was here last 20000 years how can someone even know coordinates of the place you teleported to? It seems it is not work of humans or any other lower beings. They would not be capable enough to evade my eyes and enter the forest to make a mark here and teleport someone inside. Who sent you here?”
Orbryn had oracle in mind and asking his questions to lead Mehmet to tell details for it. Mehmet also noticed that he can not evade about his reincarnation in a body god prepared and sent here to fight against dark forces. He was not an enemy of nature and Orbryn was kind to him, he probably can not run or hide from a demigod anyway. He decided to tell at least some of things he knows and get information about getting stronger in this world in exchange for that.
“I can tell as much as I know but I want to ask some questions as well is that okay with you sir?”
“No need to be that polite with me of course it is okay.”
“Thanks, Then I will try to explain as much as I can. I am teleported to here by an angel from a different world destroyed by enemy called -interdimensional aggressors a.k.a. dark forces-“.
“I got an oracle about assistance in fight against dark forces coming soon if this something done by another god from another world that means High Council of Deities is aware of it and gave signal to oracles of this world about it. I was watching you with that Gray because I noticed light and at the same time an oracle came down from God of the Nature.”
“Gray? İs that name of the squirrel followed me around?” Mehmet asked.
“Yes I raised it in my garden. I have one more question then you can ask your questions I will answer it as much as I can. Why are you so weak If you come to fight against Dark forces? Dark forces are enemy of me and God of Nature I serve as apostle. It is joyful news you are on our side as well but you can only kill hobgoblins at most with this much of power. You only have survival techniques and more trained body compared to normal humans at your age. That will not be enough.”
“That was my question to you as well, I came from a world that has no mana, no nature energy or something like that we only had 2 things to get stronger and one of them is physical body other was techniques to fight.”
“What do you mean? No one trained with magic, ki, nature energy, spirits, holy magic or no one even tamed monsters? How did you even lived without any of that? like barbarians?”
“No, Of course not we had developed science that can even make us fly outer space to moon.”
“What? Humans going to moon without even using magic? Humans can not go there even with magic here, It seems your world was one crazy world. Maybe A blind man can hear better than any healthy man is good analog for that. Sorry I got excited a bit, What was your question?” Orbryn started excitedly and calmed down.
“No problem, I wanted to know how can I get stronger as fast as I can and Why is this place called with disturbing name like Forest of the Disaster?”
“That has an old story, There was a disaster here caused big tragedy and accumulated a lot of nature Energy here. With grace of God of Nature that energy built a new cycle of balance here and made animals spirits and plants infused with more than normal nature energy and made them stronger than the one outside of the forest. High nature energy concentration making disaster here and there all the time; tornadoes, earthquakes, landslides, thunderstorms, floods etc. That made creatures adapted to them as well because it is continued such a long time. For example trees here will not burn down just because of a lightning strike. This place vast enough to create a small country but only me, plants, animals and spirits lives here.”
“Spirits? There is ghosts here in the forest?”
“No, no how rude of you. You should not compare a spirit with undead creatures, I meant elemental spirits and fairies, This forest is a sacred place made with nature energy and divinity of God of Nature,there is no way a ghost can survive here you have a fairy attached to your soul. How can you not know what a spirit is?” asked Orbryn with a bit angry voice.
Mehmet shocked that he can see through his soul. Shiure materialized and showed herself to Obryn.
“You noticed me? I would not expect less from a DEMIGOD” said Shiure with emphasis to demigod while pouting a bit.
Orbryn was shocked this time. She saw through him as well that meant She was no young spirit or fairy gained intelligence recently. She must be at least two to three thousand years old. How come she is with a soul from a manaless world?
“I do not waste Soul energy of Mehmet I will be in my spirit form inside his body.” said Shiure and disappeared.
Orbryn was impressed their relationship one was trying to help host and host using his soul energy to sustain her even if it is not conscious he can reject her from his soul if he wants her to leave.
“You need to learn how to refine and use nature energy or mana at least.”
“I was already planning to do that I need to get stronger to fight but I do not even know where to start, I hoped Shiure to help me in that regard.”
“She can give advices to you about use of mana, soul energy and nature energy but fairies born with ability to convert energies and has no physical body so I do not think she can teach you how to refine them. She can do it naturally in a different way from us.”
