"The calm madman was advancing straight towards the cave with his brother."

Calm madman: * I thought so and realized that I had miscalculated. Now I have a lot of time. As an idea, head to some city. Next, find someone, for example from the underground world, and find out where the Demon Kingdom is located. Then that's what we'll do... hmm... Kind of...It seems, but for sure! I remembered. If my memory serves me correctly, there is a city on the right. That's where I'm going.*

"So the Calm madman continued his journey, but in a different direction."

"After about 20 hours, he got to the city???."

Calm madman: * Actually, I got to the city. According to the infrastructure, it can be understood that the city is under reconstruction. Therefore, there is an underground community here. Come on, think about it. If all the information can be obtained there, then in order to get there, you need information about it. Where everyone who is engaged in illegal activities can go. According to the approximate time, it is now the medieval age, therefore they drank a lot. So, the one who runs the drunks can know everything. The bartender! Dachshund, we need a bar that is not very rich, but very popular.*

"The calm madman started running from the roofs of buildings and houses into their shadows, from the shadows of buildings and houses onto their roofs. This went on until he saw a suspicious couple of 2 men who entered the bar."

Calm madman: * Most likely, this is the place I was thinking about. So, it's about 20:00 now, it's going to get dark in about an hour. So, during this period, I need to slip into this bar.*

"A calm madman sat on the roof of the building. Watching the bar, he expected an approximate hour."

---After 1 hour and 21 minutes---

Calm madman: * Wonderful. The street is almost empty, except for an old man walking towards the square and a frustrated girl running in the other direction from the bar. In that case, I have to go.*

"The calm madman pushed off from the chimney and found himself at the entrance to the bar. He immediately opened the door and walked in with his 'trademark smile'."

Calm madman: Good evening, Gentlemen! I see that there are so many of you gathered here. But don't worry, I'm not after your soul. I need a bartender, but as I see it, he is absent. Can you tell me where he is?

"At that moment, the Calm Madman's smile was even wider and higher, it seemed that it was bigger than a dragon's. All present: 3 men, 1 old man, 2 women and a waitress. They were terrified. There was no limit to their fear. There was something strange in the bar. Huge height, about 2 meters, blood that dried on his forehead and shirt, jacket, white shirt, pants, shoes. It didn't seem to be anything, but he had empty, white eyes, and his whole body was either rotting or burnt. The huge smile was made of sharp teeth and blood was dripping from the edges of the lips due to a tear in the skin. But still, the old man decided to talk to him."

The old man: Ahem. Greetings to you! I do not know where you came from, but the bartender will arrive soon. You can wait at the counter for now.

The calm madman: Oh! And I see that you are a brave man. Thanks for the information. Would you like to join my company?

Old man: I guess I can't refuse?

The calm madman: A fan. Please come closer.

"The old man came from the corner, near the table at the counter, to the counter. At the same time, a calm madman approached the old man."

Calm madman: Apparently, you are afraid of me, but you are not afraid for your life, for the reason that you are not young, right?

Old man: That's right... May I ask why you need me?

Calm madman: Ha... I'll tell you right away, I need you as a guide. I can provide security for you in return. In case you get hurt through no fault of your own or carelessness, I will owe you what you wish. Is this outcome interesting to you?

The old man: Quite.

Calm madman: In that case, I suggest you shake hands, in honor of the contract, and wait for me at the entrance.

Old man: That's settled.

"The old man shook the hand of the Calm Madman and left, waddling to one side. As soon as the old man left, the Calm Madman turned to the visitors."

Calm madman: Dachshund, the guys present here. Could you tell me where the owner of the establishment has gone? If you cannot provide this information, then let us know either when he arrives, or, if you cannot provide this information, when he left.

"The girl sitting at the entrance to the bar got up and approached the Calm Madman. She stood on tiptoe and began to speak in a whisper, covering her mouth with her hand, she began to speak in her ear."

A girl???: Look, if you don't leave here, you're going to get in trouble.

"The calm madman also decided to speak to her in a whisper."

Calm madman: Oh. And I didn't know about it when I came here. I was specifically waiting for the moment when there would be few people. As I see, standing on tiptoe, you turned so that I can see your chest, and also you speak in a whisper in my ear. Are you trying to seduce me?

A girl???: Uhhh... What are you doing to yourself? Fool! You pervert!

Calm madman: For the record, I have no sexual characteristics other than that I look like a man. For such offensive behavior, I will ask you to stay, if you do not agree, then you will either be tortured or forcibly detained. Therefore, I will ask you to stay, the girl in the leather armor.

A girl???: Fool! Okay, I've talked you into it. I'm staying. Satisfied?

Calm madman: Then I will ask you to follow me until I tell you that you are free.

"The girl ??? puffed out her cheeks and nodded."

Calm madman: So, do you have information about the bartender?

A girl???: Yes, at the moment, good people have come to him. Most likely, he will be back very soon, as it has been almost half an hour.

Calm madman: Yeah. I get it, thank you.

"While the Calm madman, standing against the wall of the counter, was waiting, girl??? I fell asleep and leaned on his shoulder."

The calm madman: * That's right. Okay, maybe she's tired. Let him sleep.*

---After the start of waiting for the bar owner, 10 minutes have passed---

???: Bella! Is everything okay at the bar?!

Calm madman: Greetings. If you are the owner of this establishment, then I ask you to negotiate.

???: AAH! Who are you?! Bella! Bella! Wake up!

A girl???: Ummm. The owner... I'm already on my way to work... Don't yell at the changeling...

???: Bella! Get up quickly!

Calm madman: Calm down, please, let the person sleep.

???: B-but she's my employee and security guard!

Calm madman: That's her name Bella. Hmm... Beautiful name. Once again, I ask you to negotiate. I'll take care of the rest.

???: Well. Fine.

"A calm madman and??? We went up the stairs, behind the bar, and entered the second door on the right."

???: If you want negotiations, then why did you take Bella?

Calm madman: But you can't leave her sleeping there, right?

???: That's also true. So, why do you need me?

Calm madman: For starters. I would like to know the name of the city, its location on the map, your name and inform you that Bella is leaving with me.

???: I'll tell you everything, but there's no point in taking Bella, what do you want to do with her?

Calm madman: Nothing. At the moment, I have spared her for her tactlessness and abusive behavior, so she is now under my command. Roughly speaking, a slave.

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

???: Good. Then explain yourself, what was the problem?

Calm madman: Then, before I tell you everything, please give me the information I asked for.

???: Good. You are in the city of the eastern mountains 'Whisper'. I'll get the map now.

"??? got up and went to the closet by the mirror that hung to the left of the entrance."

???: My name is Western. Please, this is a map. Here are the eastern mountains. And we are slightly above them, but to the left. I've told you everything you asked for.

Calm madman: Yes, thank you. In that case, I don't have a name, but I was given the nickname from birth 'Calm Madman'. I wish neither evil nor good - I am neutral. At least for now. Also, I am the son of the progenitor. For your information, if you don't know, but the progenitor created this universe in which this planet is located.

Western: Then it's clear. After all, Bella was probably disrespectful to you. Do you have any other questions?

Calm madman: Yes. I'd like to know where the Demon Kingdom is. I want to visit the King and ask him something. It would be nice if you tell us the location and show it on the map. I will also ask you to inform the visitors that they have not seen me and keep all the information they have seen and heard to themselves. If they let it slip, the city will be destroyed in 9 years. But maybe the whole kingdom.

Western: I'm clear. I'll tell them so. The demon Kingdom is located in the very corner of the map. In fact, this is not the whole map of the world. It's just that people don't live to the left, below, above, to the right, so not all the information on it is available. The Demon Kingdom is located in the upper right corner of the map. If that's all, then can I leave and warn the visitors.

Calm madman: Of course. And I'll go with you.

"The calm madman took Bella sleeping from his lap and put her on his shoulder. Then he got up and followed Western to the exit from the second floor. Passing by Western, he headed for the exit. Soon he came out of the bar where the old man was waiting for him."

Calm madman: Hello, old man. Although I'm older than you, you still look older. Can I call you that?

Old man: Okay, but for the record, my name is 'Dragr'.

Calm madman: Then, Old Man Dragr.

"Dragr, most humbly, nodded. After that, they got up and went to the exit of the city."

Old Man Dragr: Listen, where are we going?

Calm madman: Exactly! I didn't tell you. To the Demon Kingdom.

Old Man Dragr: That's what I thought. Okay, we have to go for 3 whole days. Can we go in and buy some food?

Calm madman: Hmmm. Well, we'll get there in a few hours, and I don't need food. If you think you need it, then go to the store and buy something for yourself and for this girl.

Old Man Dragr: All right. 10 minutes and I'm here.

"Old Man Dragr ran, hobbling to one side, to the food store."

--- It's been 9 minutes---

"Old Man Dragr came out of the shop and ran towards the Calm Madman."

Old Man Dragr: As he said. 10 minutes and no more.

Calm madman: That's right. It hasn't been more than 10 years. And you're doing great. Then let's go.

Old Man Dragr: That's right!

"Walking to the exit of the city, they did not utter a sound, so they left the city unnoticed in the dark."

Calm madman: Let's go for now. I want to ask, why do you walk so strangely?

Old Man Dragr: Well, that's my flaw. In my last fight, I was wounded in the hip joint. At the hospital, I was told that either to cut off my legs or to splice the joint. Nothing else is given.

Calm madman: I see. Now we need to wait for this dormouse to wake up. And then I'll tell you everything and explain it to you.

"The calm madman and the Old Man Dragr built a fire in the forest and waited for Bella to wake up, sitting on a fallen tree."

--- 2 hours have passed, the time is 23:02---

Bella: Good morning. Eh?! The night?! Then good night, guys... eh?!! Guys?! To begin with, master, what am I doing in the forest?

Calm madman: Bella, we've been waiting for you to wake up. The questions will wait. First, I'll tell you, and then ask questions.

"Old Man Dragr stared intently at the Calm Madman, scratching his beard. At the same time, Bella, with a contented and beautiful expression on her face, nodded and smiled."

The calm madman: Dachshund. Honestly, I'm tired of telling you this, but I have to. I am the son of the progenitor, one of the brothers, namely the eldest. From birth, we were not given names, but nicknames were given. Depending on the character, strength, intelligence, etc., the nickname was determined by the qualities of the creature. I have the nickname 'Calm Madman'. My brother has the nickname 'Faceless'. I came to him for the safety of this universe. Then he will decide for himself what to do. Bella, I got your name from a Western. Old Man Dragr, this is Bella; Bella, this is Dragr. In this way, we will have to be together. You, Bella, will be with me for a very long time. But you, Old Dragr, will only be my guide on this journey until fate reunites us. Also, I'm heading to the Demon Kingdom on business.

Bella: Well... I think I understood everything.

Old Man Dragr: Me too.

Calm Madman: In that case, we shouldn't sleep until we almost get to the Demon Kingdom. Put one hand on my shoulder. Next, I'll do everything myself. Your task is not to fall asleep. If you sleep, you won't wake up. In General, No Way!

Old Man Dragr and Bella: All right.

"Bella put her right hand on her left shoulder, and Old Man Dragr put his left hand on her right shoulder. The calm madman opened a portal in the tree and into the distance. After that, I entered it. So they started going through the whole forest."

--- It's been 3 hours---

Calm madman: Old Man Dragr, are we still far away?

Old Man Dragr: No. About a kilometer and we're there.

Calm madman: Then, go to bed. Eat in the morning and let's move on.

Old Man Dragr: All right.

Bella: Well, yeah...

"Both fell asleep like the dead when they lay down on the ground."

---Morning, time around 10:00---

Old Man Dragr: Good morning, Mr. Calm Madman.

Calm madman: Well, I didn't sleep. But it seems kind. It was quiet at night.

Old Man Dragr: That's understandable. There won't be anyone here, because of the Demon King.

Calm madman: It's clear now.

Old Man Dragr: May I ask. Why is Bella lying on your lap?

Calm madman: I don't know. In the middle of the night, she got up and lay down on her knees.

Old Man Dragr: Got it. Isn't it time to wake her up?

The calm madman: You're right.

"The calm madman started tickling Bella, saying it was time to get up."

Calm madman: Bella, wake up. It's time for work.

Bella: Ha ha ha! Stop! Enough! I'm getting up! I said I'm getting up!

"All this time, the Calm madman did not stop tickling her. For her, it was no longer fun, but torture. She stood up and turned to the owner."

Bella: Hey! Are you deaf?! I said that's enough! Ah! Ouch! Master, I'm sorry for the rudeness. I can't think straight in the morning...

"Bella was no longer unhappy, but calm and felt guilty, so she put her head down."

Calm madman: It's good that you apologized. That's it, eat up and let's go.

Bella: Yes, master...

"Old Man Dragr took out the finished, cold meat. He heated it on the remaining coals. After that, Bella and Old Man Dragr ate and were ready to leave."

Bella: Host, we're ready!

Old Man Dragr: Yes!

"Bella waved her hand."

Calm madman: Then let's move on. But on foot.

--- An hour later---

Calm madman: Wow! So this is the Demon Kingdom?!

Old Man Dragr: Yes, that's right.

The calm madman: * Quite beautiful. These long rocks, the length of which cannot be measured by the eye, these huge gates of black stone, so black that it swayed that it was an abyss. But most of all, my eyes were fascinated by the purple vapor, purple inclusions in the rocks. They shimmered and shimmered with brightness.*

Old Man Dragr: Are we going further with you?

Calm madman: Yes, with me. Come on.

"All three of them headed towards the gate, which was 6 times bigger than the Calm Madman."

Calm madman: And so, we got there.

"The calm madman knocked. The gates began to open. From there, ogres could be seen pushing open the gate. And also, there was a lich at the entrance."

Lich: Who are you?

Calm madman: I have a conversation with the Demon King. Don't worry, we don't have any weapons with us. And my squad has no magicians, so don't think that we are deceiving you.

Lich: Okay, I'll search you.

"The Lich sent an unknown beam, for Bella and Old Man Dragr, into the trinity. Bella and Old Man Dragr stood and trembled, because they had nothing to do but obey."

Lich: That's right, you're clean. But! What about you? You're not an ordinary mortal.

Calm madman: That's right, I am the son of the progenitor.

Lich: Okay, now I understand why I felt the divine mana.

Old Man Dragr: Eh?

Lich: Please follow me.

"The trio followed Lich until they reached the huge dark purple doors."

Leach: This is where we part ways. I ask you to be courteous to the King and be quiet.

Calm madman: It's not for me, but for that lady. But still, thanks for the information. Then we're off. Bella, Old Man Dragr, follow me. Your task is not to make a sound and do not move more than a meter away from me. Whoever disobeys, I will kill him on the spot.

"Old Man Dragr and Bella, disappointed, nodded uncertainly."

Calm madman: That's it, now your task begins, I'm opening the door.

"The calm madman easily opened the door with one hand, although it takes about 7 orgies to open it. When the door was opened so that everyone could enter, their gaze fell on the throne room. They were impressed by how beautiful everything was. The throne room was all in black and dark purple tones. These colors shimmered all over the hall. But the most important thing is the throne on which the king sat. The back of the throne was about 5 meters. The black armrests, like the entire throne, were black. At their ends, there were dragon claws, and the throne itself looks like the throne itself is a dragon, where the Demon King sat in his mouth, leaning on his back."

Calm madman: Wow. I am delighted. The Demon King, I ask you to talk to me. In case of refusal, I will have to take countermeasures.

The Demon King: Wow! That's so cheeky! All right, tell me.

The Calm Madman: The Demon King...

Demon King: Please call me by my name, 'Fedfrosl'.

Calm madman: Well, as you wish. Fedfrosl, I would like to ask you. Do you have the opportunity to get or create an artifact that will absorb or earn mana?

Fedfrosl: Yes.

Calm madman: And to completely absorb or seal?

Fedfrosl: It depends on how much.

Calm Madman: Unlimited amount of divine mana.

Fedfrosl: Ha-ha-ha-ha! Well, he made me laugh. That's the joker. This just doesn't happen! Or did you decide to seal the progenitor?

"A calm madman teleports to Fedfrosl, creating a portal under himself and in front of the king's throne. I put my hand to his throat, as if the hand was a sword."

Calm madman: One more time I will hear or see rudeness towards me and you will lose your life!

Fedfrosl: What are you doing to yourself!

Calm madman: So that you know and remember your life, which has not yet ended. I am the son of the progenitor and disrespect to me is unacceptable.

Fedfrosl: Then how can you prove it?

Calm madman: Didn't you see my ability?

Fedfrosl: Which one?

Calm madman: As I see it, you are very weak, since you did not see it. And so, look carefully. You won't feel any mana fluctuations since I'm using divine mana. I'm creating a portal at the entrance to the throne room. Did you see it?

Fedfrosl: Y-yes.

Calm madman: Now I'm creating under me.

"The calm madman will move and step aside so as not to end up back in the portal."

Calm madman: And so I proved it to you?

Fedfrosl: Y-yes. Proved it. We don't have the artifacts and technology you need.

Calm madman: Okay, thanks for the help. Then I'll probably go.

Fedfrosl: No, wait! I'll ask my sister.

Calm madman: Taax, it's become more interesting. Who is your sister? Is she stronger than you?

Fedfrosl: My sister is stronger than me, because she is not a demon, but a devil. Our father, the devil, and mother, the demon, died earlier and their legacy passed to us.

Calm madman: I see. And how will you ask? Hell is not so easy to get to.

Fedfrosl: I know. In such a case, we have a means of communication. The glass gate of communication.

"Fedfrosl put his palms together so that one was looking down and the other was looking up. He pushed them apart and a transparent image of the devil appeared."

The calm madman: Why glass?

Fedfrosl: Because they are transparent like glass. Okay, that's it, quiet. I'm connecting the sound.

"Fedfrosl put his hand to the gate and a sound appeared."

Fedfrosl: Greetings, Sister Atholia.
