Re:Zero Khan The Armored Furry

by TheRecklessBravery

Khan Godra (changed in Chp.7) is an OC, it's a 40k Warhammer furry, thrown into the re: Zero world a week before the main storyline and Natsuki's arrival, well, despite the fact that there's Subaru, the focus of the story will be Khan. In the first chapter I will be explained the world basics and lore of my OC universe, so anyways, enjoy the madness and insanity of this human mind.

14. Judgement day I out of III

Note: When reading this chapter, make sure you have enough time to read it, because this chapter is the longest chapter in the entire story, standing at 30k words.

note2: also read that most people after 5k words they just get reading fatigue, so i had an idea, what if every 5k words, there was a "Checkpoint" So when you reach there, you basically have a marker of where you left, so you feel like you are reading the normal lenth chapter while not losing where you left off because reading online isnt the same way of reading on a book.

A checkpoint will look like this:

---

...

..

.

[CHECKPOINT 0/6]

.

..

...

---

note2: i think that something that occupies so much space yet shows so much space will make it distinct from the wall of text there will be, and there will be a checkpoint for every 5k words. Will it work? Maybe. But if you have enough time and stamina to just read through 30k words then i guess just ignore the checkpoint.

Also, in this chapter it's not 100% perfectly on the 5k word mark, since im rewriting this chapter with this idea, but in the next chapter there will be perfectly every 5k words a checkpoint

As the battle began, the Overlord's army was the first to have casualties right at the start.

The knights with spears limited themself only to stay idle and wait for them to come, but they did sometimes charge and pierce through the walls and gate, and strike the army of darkness, for some reason they didn't destroy walls or gates, but only penetrates it.

However, the knights that wielded swords, oh well, they acted completely different compared to the ones wielding spears.

They were wild, they climbed walls and threw themself in the air to land inside the army of darkness and never be seen again, so they were presumed dead.

But it seems like not every soldier of the Overlord's army moves, as the Overlord himself stays in the center of his own army, there are 5 knights that look very distinct from each other but similar, they surround the Overlord to seemingly defend him. But for some reason that was also a woman in green 'robes'

The Militias were fighting, they were throwing rocks, boiling water, spears, magic spells, and so on but still cautious to not get caught in the crossfire or in the enemy's palm, One of the militias was running around with a bag of appas for some reason.

The royal knights and guards were doing fine, they stood on the walls and kept at bay any climbers, Julius was spamming spells in random directions at the army of darkness, magic casters were raining down as many magic spells as they could and Felix was just watching the scene play out waiting for someone to get injured

Reinhard touched his sword to see how it would react.. and it seemed that it didn't turn out how Reinhard wanted it, as he did not unsheathe the sword from his belt, but instead just wielded a regular sword.

Roswaal also participated in the battle, since Reinhard was the one who drafted him, he had to. he didn't wear any armor unlike the others, and he opted to fly, as the army of darkness didn't shoot any projectiles for the moment. And he shot down destructive magic spells, beams of fire that turned them into dust.

Wilhelm was also doing the same thing as the knights, keeping the army of darkness away from the walls.

In the meanwhile, the army of darkness didn't make themself feel as powerful as they are infamed to be, they were simply banging on the walls, they didn't attempt to climb or anything, they just kept banging on the walls but learned thanks to the Overlord's knight jumping inside, they do react to the knight by stabbing it with their swords and they took him down and gone, never to be seen again, only to return to the same behavior once again.

However, the good news is that they can feel pain and die, as the militias throw rocks and boiling water upon their head being hit by a rock, they die, and they turn into dust.

The boiling water just made them pose in agony, but they didn't scream in pain, as they couldn't talk.

From the start of the battle, they have never spoken a sound, not even boiling them makes them scream in pain.

---

a portion of the people was simply standing around doing nothing while the walls were being attacked

"Hey Overlord" a distant deep and distorted voice came behind the Overlord

The Overlord re-positioned himself to look behind him on his mount made of steel, now he was sitting side-ways

He saw that it was simply Khan, apparently, the spell was still active

"My name's Saetang nice to meet you, watcha want?" the overlord asked

"What is that thing you are riding on?" Khan asked

"We're in the middle of battle, and not just any battle, and you ask this random-ass question? Well, it's something called a motorcycle, specifically a Davidson Harley Street Glide. Never seen one in 1000 years?" he said while tapping his motorcycle

"I have seen Dirt-Trains and Titan-Trucks, but... Wait how do you know I'm 1000 years old"

"Eh, since you did an ethnocide to the German people I've been watching you, it was entertaining watching you, until you came right into my land. I think I saw you once in my land, but I think you were too young to remember" The overlord said the information

Khan was spinning his gears to try to remember if that ever happened, but no matter the effort, he couldn't remember such a thing ever happening

"Oh, and wait a moment- WHAT YOU GUYS WAITING HERE! GO ON THE WALLS AND DEFEND IT!" The Overlord shouted around himself, as his personal and small army of elites and super-soldiers was basically idle like a statue awaiting his orders

The army shouted "OUI! MON SEIGNEUR!" and started running towards the walls except for 5 soldiers around him that mounted bulkier vehicles than the overlord.

"God, what the regular army is doing- wait-what the fuck is their commander doing?" He then opened a bag (The bags instead of being in the rear are beside the engine compartment thing), and he pulled out an object that had a spiral cord attached to it.

"Hey commander of the regular army, say to your soldiers to stop suiciding themself to the enemy, It's counter-efficient, we need MORE ALIVE SOLDIERS! DEAD SOLDIERS DO NOTHING! And also stop destroying barricades, it's making the job easier for the enemy to breach inside!"

Seconds later someone else answered

"Oui, mon seigneur, je suis désolé mon seigneur" a distorted voice replied back to the overlord.

The overlord put the device back in the bag

"Alright, so what we were talking about?" Overlord

"Nothing" Khan responded

"I guess I should remove that spell from you, otherwise you ain't ever gonna fight, but you won't try to kill me, okay?"

"Okay, wait where is Wolperionen?" Khan said

"I dunno, but there is still that issue" The Overlord said

"I don't think you need to, but why willpower?"

"Really?" he asked as if he was stupid

"Leaving all that behind, does anyone have something where I can learn this country's language? From that woman's speech and the chattering between you and the folks here I do not understand anything, might be troublesome if I have to talk to the foreign folks here" The overlord asked around himself

"non, mon Seigneur, je suis désolé mon seigneur." All the 5 knights around him and the woman in green robes responded

But seconds later Khan handed out the same books that Felix handed him to the Overlord

"Thanks, however, I didn't expect you to be so giving to somebody that killed all your comrades, although that might be the spell's fault" The overlord said as he scrolled through the books that Khan gave him.

Khan didn't respond to him for a while, but suddenly

"Wait, what have you done once I was gone?"

"Oh well, destroyed the army. Some beastmen obviously surrendered, I thought for a while, at first I wanted to make them pets, but it's boring growing even further into an already full-grown beastman, better to have a beastman pup than an adult one, but then maybe slavery again, but at last, I decided to just make them in the wild again"

"What? Why?" Khan said perplexed

"Well, I decided against slavery because, since it happened again a certain beastman with red skin has basically ignited a rebellion. Anndd im is pretty sure if it happened once, it's going happen again, so if they are treated as my citizens, they won't have any reason to revolt against me, it doesn't take a genius to think that right? And then i thought, nah, just let them into the wild, im too busy to even think about what to do with the beastmen" The overlord continued to explain while reading the book Khan lent him

"Oh, and now that i think off, it wouldn't be beneficial for me or for anybody to keep beastmen for long"

The Overlord looked briefly at the walls that the army of darkness was, then he continued to read the books

"It seems like I have time to read this, they are holding up well. The first wave of the Judgement Day isn't hard, but it will increasingly get more apocalyptic" The overlord said as he continued to read the book.

As the battle under the walls continued to rage on, the knights, guards, and militia were doing a fine job keeping the enemies away from the walls.

"This army it's not as powerful as they sounded, I honestly thought they would be way stronger than this" Julius said

"Same thing, my lady has told me their description. They sounded very terrifying, while their looks are exactly how we expected it, their manpower isn't that impressive" Wilhelm said as he stabbed an enemy in the head

"But don't let your guard down, this is just the beginning of the battle. anything can come up"

"I won't" Julius assured the old man

"What is Reinhard doing?" Wilhelm asked Julius

"He's doing the same thing as us, keeping them away from the walls" Julius answered

"Alright" he replied

[20 MINUTES LATER]

The army was still swarming them, periodically one or two would climb the walls, but it wasn't troublesome as their weapon swiftly cut through as if they had no bones and flesh, and the foreign knight's weapons seemed like were the most ideal for this situation.

The enemy's weapons weren't that sharp or powerful to cut through the walls, and it seemed they had no weapon variability, so they only had the flamberge sword.

But a minute later four enemies started to climb, from four to eight, from eight to sixteen, and so on. Swarms of them were starting to climb the walls like monkeys, At the beginning it was manageable, but it became troublesome as soon they decided to climb on top of each other, basically one was climbing the wall, and another one was climbing the one climbing.

"Is it me or they are starting to climb the walls way more than before!?" Wilhelm shouted as he started to swing his weapon like a maniac, cutting through multiple of them at once

"It seems you are right! They are starting to climb the walls!" Julius said as he started to swing his sword like Wilhelm and his spirit shooting every spell possible

The militias were also starting to scatter away and become agitated, as the enemies almost successfully climbed the walls, but despite the fact they were obviously frightened, many of the militias who didn't perform magic just stood away, were hunched over, and their swords in hand, and the magic casters stood behind them but they at least mustered enough courage to duck in and wildly swing the sword, not killing them somehow but just enough to make them lose balance and fall back. Some Militia even cast spells, but they were low to medium-level spells, just more than enough to hurt them or injure them enough to make them out of commission, but some of them just simply bonked the enemy's head, basically doing nothing, as he looked, those militias came from the poorest district of the kingdom, as they were too meek to fight.

'I wish the militias killed those enemies, although, I shouldn't expect normal citizens to fight as someone who fights for a living, they are just merchants and cooks or even nobles that have never been trained a day in their life to fight after all. Or they came from a poor district so they aren't developed enough' Julius thought as he watched the militia doing their best to fend off the attackers.

And he looked more, he saw that the foreign knights, who wielded spears, were starting to have trouble killing them, as their long pike were useless in short quarters, and they were visibly agitated as the eye-hole replicated that feeling. The foreign knights with swords were also having trouble killing them, as it seemed like the enemy was more aggressive towards them than with himself or the militias.

But suddenly, somebody started to shout obnoxiously loud, it was an unknown language, and he turned around while swinging his sword toward the enemies mindlessly.

"TOUS SOLDATS ! DESCENDEZ LES MURS MAINTENANT ! LE SEIGNEUR A ENVOYÉ SES PROPRES ÉLITES ET SUPER-SOLDATS ICI!" The foreign knight said

It was similar to the other knights, he seemed to be in full plate armor unlike the others that only had breast-plate, and he had a grey cape that was basically ruined at the ends, and not only, he was the only one shouting which Julius could only assume they were orders, and so Julius felt like he was some kind of leader or captain, but he didn't have enough knowledge to process the rest of the foreign captain.

The foreign knights with spears and swords started to jump down from the walls to safety, he felt a presence behind his back, he felt an iron grip holding his shoulders, and he turned around, it was a foreign knight, and the foreign knight threw him off the ledge. He fell down from the walls and hit the ground, fortunately, his constitution allowed him to take the hit, and seconds later he saw Wilhelm being thrown off too, and consequentially the other royal knights, guards, and militias all at once too.

When Julius got thrown off the walls, Felix was waiting from behind the frontlines for possible patients, he heard Felix yelped

Wilhelm and the royal knights were without a doubt not gonna get injured, but some of the guards and militias were hurt from the fall, soon after, Felix and the healers came to aid them.

"What are they thinking? Are they out of their mind!?" Felix yelled angrily while he was healing a militia

"I don't know, but let's think this calmly, look at them, it looks like they know what they are doing" Wilhelm said as he observed them

The others turned where Wilhelm was looking to see the foreign knights.

Those foreign knights looked identical to the ones with spears and swords but the only difference was that their armor looked highly worn out by a few decades of battles, and they had white capes on their backs.

They were sprinting on the stairs in perfect sync as if one brain controlled them all, they got on the walls and started drop-kicking, spinning like a Beyblade slashing with their swords, back-flipping on the enemy, they threw their swords and then retrieved them back, they suplex them once they had the opportunity and etc.

'What is the point of making all those moves?' Julius thought

"They look like knights but they don't fight like knights at all, they seem closer to barbarians that just wear armor plates" Julius criticized them.

"I think it's something you have to get used to, Khan displayed the same thing as them. But it is not the moment to criticize, as they are helping us to fend off them" Wilhelm said

"Right, I shouldn't let my feelings get in the way during battle" Julius rationally calmed down.

They were all watching the foreign knights do the job for them, as he healed 3 militias, he went to the fourth one

"What.. n-no.." Felix spoke, Wilhelm turned to look at him hearing that

"What happened-" Wilhelm saw the 'injured militia' that fell from the walls, it was now a dead body.

"This man must have died from the fall, can't you do anything?" Wilhelm asked

"There is nyothing Ferri can do, he's already healed, but his soul already left the body " Felix said as he stood up

"I see, then he may rest as we thank you for your service" Wilhelm said as he bent down to the body and closed the deceased's eyes.

---

As the overlord's army was doing their job, the overlord was still reading the book that Khan lent him

"Are they only coming from that side? Those walls surround the city like many other kingdoms right?" The overlord said

But no one answered his question

"What about what is happening on the other sides of this city?"

...

"Well, I guess no one answers, so I have to check it myself"

The overlord started flying and left the motorcycle on the ground, the 5 knights just observed their king fly into the sky, as they couldn't do anything.

And the flying overlord was soon gone in a blur, and nowhere to be seen again.

...

The overlord cleared his throat as soon he flew into the sky blindly, and he said "Supportive magic: nocturnal vision"

As he said those words moments later his eyes shone bright like a flashlight, and he looked down.

"Oh damn, I was about to fly out of the perimeter, the air here it's so easy to fly in, it seems the air resistance is pretty mediocre here. This city must be very tiny if it took this short to reach the walls... Hmm, seems alright. The knights are doing an excellent job at killing them around the perimeter" He said as he looked at the city from above

He looked around himself out of curiosity

"Now that I see, is this even our world? I can see even the borders of the world without even flying that high and requiring a pair of binocular" The overlord said to no one but himself as he saw the void in the far distance.

As he continued to look around, he noticed another detail

"Is the world's border rectangular? Odd. It should have 5 corners like a star" he said

But it seems that the overlord had to cut his thought short, as the gem was starting to act up as if he was gonna be in danger

"Alright, time to go" He started to descend as quickly as he ascended, and he sat on his motorcycle

The knights and Khan were still standing from exactly as the overlord left them

"You already checked the entire area?" Khan asked

"Yes." The overlord responded

"But you have been there for just a few seconds" Khan said

"That's enough time" he said

"And I believe it is time that I must remove the spell from you, as you are needed in the fight"

"Do you remember for what reason you are fighting for?" The overlord asked

Khan's gears spinned again, he thought for a while.

For only to answer with a miserable "No" to him

The overlord sighed

"Alright, then I'll have to do this instead."

"I would have much more preferred that you still remember those memories" He lamented

"Have you made a bond with somebody here?" He asked Khan

"You mean friends? I dunno, Yeah?" Khan answered

"Good." The overlord aimed his palm at Khan, and he grabbed something, and he closed his palm as if he shattered something.

Khan bent backward and held his face as if something hit his face and stumbled backward, but after a few moments, he started to bend down and as he held to his face, he started to growl quietly as a whisper. But it didn't last for long as he progressively became louder, and louder; the louder he became, the bigger his stance became.

Until he reached a pivot point where he could not expand anymore and his roar started to become so loud and deafening that it started to shake buildings, making some vases fall. Some people's heartbeats became irregular, some made their ears deaf from the ringing. Fortunately most were able to protect themselves by acting appropriately to such an event.

Meanwhile, the overlord's bike became louder and drifted away along with the 5 knights

---

Echoes of the roar and the battlefield could be heard. There was a great spirit dumbfoundedly looking outside the window, she was observing quietly the events unfolding before her eyes.

the spiral that came from the sky was everywhere, the sky was of a color she never thought the sky would take, it was all red like blood, and so did the atmosphere around her became red, but forget about that, the hallway was unusually dark, and it was like the lanterns weren't working properly, but fortunately some windows allowed the red light inside.

'Is this the future that Mother had in store for me?' she asked herself as she saw them coming down.

She took a step closer to the window, and her palm touched the window, she observed even closer, so close that the window was starting to fog.

'Or that person is in there?'

... However, something was bothering her about all this.

Before all that, her mana detection showed her that the clown, the foolish girl, and the blue-haired maid left the mansion. There was only one presence that she was familiar with, and it was the pink-haired one, everything seemed normal, however.

they weren't the only ones in the mansion.

It was the same weird mana that she felt in the library, but.. she couldn't pinpoint where it was from exactly, however, she could tell that the pink-haired maid was moving around the mansion in an unusually slow manner...

...

..

The maid's mana signal suddenly shifted in the same corridor she was in, she turned her head around to face it. The hallway was dark, there were no footsteps to be heard, and only the sound of the maid's outfit faintly rustling could be heard. It seems she will have to forget about her problems for the moment.

Whatever was coming finally stood under a window that shone the path, it was a pitch-black humanoid figure, it was so tall that it looked like it touched the roof of the hallway, and its limbs; both arms and legs looked like they could cut through someone like a sword, and his legs moved slowly and silently, the most human feature was it's unusually large ears.. She couldn't tell how old this thing was, for all she knew it could be older than her. For the moment she refers to it as 'Annoying Shadow'. Forgetting about Annoying Shadow, she saw there was somebody under its armpit, it was the unconscious pink-haired maid, she was hanging like a loose potato bag, but she had no visible injuries somehow.

She stepped away from the window and faced whatever it was face to face, there was plenty of distance, alot of it, and by the rate it was walking it looked like it would take ages to reach her.

"You dare step into Roswall's mansion as a threat. Per my contract, I must eliminate you I suppose." Beatrice

The Annoying Shadow perked up, it stopped all motion and directly stared at Beatrice. In the meanwhile Beatrice raised her hand and opened her palm towards it.

A storm of purple shards appeared out of thin air, and they launched themselves at unsightable speeds against Annoying Shadow, it hid the maid behind its back, sheathed its limbs out, and swang them to deviate the purple shards away one by one with equal speed.

However, she wasn't done there, additional shards sprayed behind the Annoying Shadow's back, but it wasn't any good, as it slapped them away as he did with the first attack with all possible limbs, however, there was something that she realized.

She may have accidentally killed the maid in the process, she threw a gush of wind to one of its shoulders, making it turn 180 degrees for a moment as it stumbled backward. '.. That maid is still alive... How?' and it quickly faced its body towards her, it started to look furious compared to before as it attempted to do a silent roar.

It started to step faster toward her, and she continued to shoot various Purple shards at it, it continued to parry while making its way, and she started to walk backward along the immense hallways.. for a while she was absorbed into the battle but then started to space out, as it was becoming monotonous, and started to observe it.

..

.

As she continued to shoot the purple shards, she progressively shot them faster, the Annoying Shadow started to miss some of them, and they hit them straight to the chest, but it was like nothing, and they popped out without causing any visible harm.

...

But after a while, she noticed that there were some shards stuck in its left limb for some reason... No, it was impossible it was from the barrage she shooting right now, she would have noticed that... A flashback made her remember that a particular arm was extended behind its back when she instinctively sprayed purple shards behind its back... Maybe that's how the maid was left uninjured.

'Does it want the maid alive?'

She stopped stepping backward and proceeded to fill the entire hallway with so many purple shards that it created a wall behind the Annoying Shadow, and she launched them toward it. It was impossible to dodge, it either took the brunt or sacrificed the maid to protect itself. It was a gamble, but she had to know.

The annoying shadow turned its head, and the maid phased through it like a ghost it was now positioned infront of Annoying Shadow, shielding the maid. And it took the full brunt, it got pushed forward by the sheer power of the shards, it stumbled forward while flailing its limbs, and both his knees touched the ground, it slouched its shoulder and held on to the maid like a father protecting its daughter, the purple shards kept get stuck on its back, sometimes striking its head and so on, it looked like a porcupine.

And after a while, the barrage ended, despite all the effort, she was sure that whatever it was, it would not end there. The annoying shadow seemed to have become even more furious, as its limbs started to hammer the ground out of anger, it flexed its back muscles, the purple shards popped out its back like nothing, and she saw its jaw open wide, making a silent roar once again.. She confirmed that-

It started to sprint toward her, and it raised its limbs like elephant's tusks, she perked up, and she was about to throw a gush of wind but she wasn't fast enough, both its limbs impaled both her shoulders, and it lifted her above its head- It started to spin her like a shirt in the hands of a soccer fan and it forced to drag her head to the floor as it sprinted forward, making craters to the floor. After a couple of head bangs, it threw her behind it.

She landed head first and then started to roll for a moment, Beatrice laid on her belly, with her head turned away from the annoying shadow, and she rolled around and kind of sat back up, supporting herself with one arm, she started to hear some weird sounds, like waterfall-

She was losing mana, her stabbed shoulder started to release a smoke of mana to the roof, she looked at her wounds..

'.. i suppose. I think.."

She was forced to relax on the floor, unresponsive.

'I waited for that person since mother has made that contract with me. I've been living for centuries, waiting for that person to come, for whatever reason, for the library. For me to free? or it is to free me?.. It seems it won't matter now'

Her eyes looked at the Annoying shadow, it proceeded to carry the maid under its armpit again and stepped closer to her.

'It is gonna kill me? I believe so'

Its sharp limbs approached her, but.. It seemed too slow, and it hovered over her wounds, and the smoke of mana stopped.. She took a moment to realize '..What, no one can just heal a great spirit-but!- She tried to get up as quickly as possible "Al sham-AAAAAA" The annoying shadow crushed her making her yell for a second, and then its sharp limb drilled her forehead, and all she saw was pitch black.

...

..

.

She couldn't feel her body, nor seem to control them, or even see anything.

'I am dead? No.. I wouldn't be able to think infact. What is happening?... I can't feel anything... Is this Ul Shamak?.. How...'

---

"HOW IS THIS HAPPENING, HOW UOW HOW HHHHHAAAWWW!" He said calmly while tearing his scalp apart

"WITCH PLEASE GIVE ME MORE TIME, JUST MORE TIME! I'LL FULLFIL THE ORDEAL WAY DILIGENTLIER-NO! THE DILEGENTIEST!"

Then proceeded to scream randomly

There were 6 of them, and all of them were fighting the soldiers of darkness with quite ease, but they were overwhelmed by the numbers.

There is a man who wears clothes in plain white, that was observing his crazy colleague complaining and begging, he squeezes his nose and shakes his head.

"I hate this! Why did I have to fight? it was supposed to be a special day with my wives, yet they took away everything from me, they don't even talk! Who removed their rights of speech? For what reason would they attack us?" After he said all that, he sighed

He opened a book and read it again "Whatever, it is the gospel after all." he calmly concluded

the whole thought of that, he casually wiped away the soldiers of darkness with one hand with ease.

"it is an odd circumstance" an unassuming woman said with a motherly tone

Then he turned to her "Did you set this up!?" He yelled at her

She shook her head "I didn't" she said as she got stabbed behind her back by one of the soldiers of darkness, and dropped to the floor, only to reappear again.

meanwhile, there was another colleague who usually always talks about eating, but this he was reticent, as he simply stabbed them or bit air and didn't look that enjoyed

"Empty, empty empty! How come those guys are so... distasteful, disgusting, dead, rotten.." he lamented as he bit the soldiers of darkness and they disappeared into thin air.

however there was another one who was very similar in appearance to the previous one, he was his brother, and unlike him, he actually enjoyed what was happening, as he jumped up and down, sliding and devouring the soldiers of darkness in a frenzy.

And there was another one too, that was a little girl and it was their sister, she, however, stood far back, not doing anything and preferred to kill them.

"Those are so.." She said as she looked at the soldiers of darkness

"Not even worth-

Then a roar was heard, it was distant but clear, the leaves flew away and the trees bent to the distant roar.

"..What was that?" She asked

...

(Meanwhile in another place)

"GET OUT! OUT OF MY WAY!" a woman wrapped in bandages yelled as she shoved every soldier of darkness like a bunch of leaves.

"MY LOVE IS IN DANGER! I NEED, I NEED TO SAVE HIM!" She yelled

But the soldiers of darkness continued to block her path.

And then she screamed into oblivion

---

...

..

.

[CHECKPOINT 1/5]

.

..

...

---

in another place where there was a plain landscape, where there were only hills out of grass, nothing less, nothing more.

There were 6 women grouped up together that were fighting off the same soldiers of darkness like the rest of the world, simply this wasn't a world, but rather a dream.. but they somehow also got in there.

One of them lazily lay on the ground as she threw spells out of thin air, she sighed

"Why.. huff... they are.. here." she asked... lazily.

The other 4 continued to fend off them quite easily, but they were still overwhelmed by the huge numbers.

Then one with long white hair answered her "Even though I possess all the answers the world could question, I have no idea what is happening." she answered her with a subtle shrug.

"C-Chidna!" a small child called her, but she stopped to shatter them under their regrets with her authority.

"Chidna! Can stop those bad guys!? They are too many!" She asked her loudly

She was quiet for a moment

"I'll think what to do. Somehow." She responded as she held her chin

---

A little girl and a woman were on the second floor, and a man was downstairs. The two upstairs were holding each other and peeked outside behind the curtains, they saw them, they surrounded every single house in the Arlam village, they were dark, hooded people, they crowded everywhere, so much so that it looked like the Witch of envy came back.

"Mom? What is happening?" A little girl asked her mom

She taped the little girl's mouth with a hand and continued to peek behind the curtains.

...

But then she let her stand on her own, she caressed her hair, then kissed her forehead.

"Stay here" She quietly said to her daughter

And she ran downstair.

meanwhile, there was her husband who barricaded the door with heavy furniture and other stuff, the door was being kicked repeatedly by them.

To make it more difficult he was pushing back, and when she arrived downstair she also helped to keep the door intact by pushing too.

But they knew it wouldn't last long if they kept an improvised defense like that.

Fortunately, it seems like they weren't intelligent enough to realize they could just jump in through the windows, which they hoped they dont.

While they were both pushing back, they saw their daughter come downstairs

"Petra what are you doing- Go upstairs!" Her dad yelled

She put up a brave face, ran to them, and pushed too

"No!" Petra responded back

---

The roar echoed across the city, and it stopped, but it still echoed throughout the capital.

Khan ran randomly destroying some buildings by ramming into them, and he stopped inside the ruins of the houses he just destroyed, and he looked straight at the militia for a while.

And he raised his leg and attempted to crush them, but purple chains stopped him, despite that, he still tried to do whatever he was doing.

The militia (which was doing nothing) was startled and started to distance away from Khan.

The chains pulled with force and dragged Khan somewhere else until he was infront of the Overlord, the chains forced him to lie on the ground, and he was chained there for a while. Khan looked left and right and struggled to escape the chains, but he started to grunt without success.

"Now now, I gotta find the one with the bond with him" The overlord said

The overlord cleared his throat

"カーンの友達は誰ですか！ 今すぐここに彼が必要なのです!" The overlord yelled into the crowd around him while Khan was struggling on the ground.

---

"Who are Khan's friends? We need him here now!" The man with iron bar eyebrows yelled

No one responded

He continued to yell the same thing over and over again like a broken radio, but somebody picked up what was going on.

Those people started to push through the crowd.

And they finally appeared.

It was Crusch, Felix and Wilhelm.

The three of them walked forward to face the caller.

"May I know what is your intention with Kaan-sama?" Wilhelm asked him as he saw Khan

"Are you his friend?!" The man asked almost yelling to them

"Friends?- Yes, we are his friend!" Crusch responded with the same term to avoid misunderstandings

"Call Khan! The right one will bring him back!" the man instructed

"Will bring him back? Does that mean his not himself anymore?" Wilhelm asked.

...

The two of them turned to look at Felix, he looked back at them.

"..I can heal injuries but I can't do anything if Khan-kyun is mentally injured." Felix responded

"No, non!" The man with iron bars as eyebrows said to them angrily

"one of you three needs to call his name!" The man told them

Crusch looked at Felix and Wilhelm and she stepped forward

"Kaan-Sama! Do you hear me!?" Crusch called him

"Kaan-Sama! Get yourself together! " She continued to call him

Then Wilhelm stepped up

"Kaan-Sama, we need your help, please come back with us." He said with words of urgency but with a tone of calmness too.

He went near Khan's face

"This old man requires your help, quit whining and return!"

Khan turned his head to face him, and his eyes that shots a beam of light(that almost blinded him) looked at his face.

Then Khan extended his neck and his jaws opened wide like a door and slammed back together in an attempt to tear Wilhelm, luckily he dodged.

"Kaan!-"

Felix's placed his hand on Wilhelm's shoulder.

"Old man will, Felix-chan taking place." Felix said to him

"You need to make him remember, from the past connect it to the present, core memories are necessary" The man further instructed

"Core memories?.. You mean everything we did together?" Felix asked

he nodded.

---

Ba-dum, Khan felt like his soul was either leaving or re-entering his body, as his vision went in black and white, as he gasp, his mind went blank;

...

Willpower rehabilitation has commenced

Recreating forgotten and unseen memories...

He envisioned himself when he was a newborn, he was born that day, he escaped from a predator, shielded himself behind his mother, and she killed that predator, he and his brother and sister jumped on the fresh corpse to feast on it and at night he wrestled with his brother and sister.

He saw himself for the first time hunting for himself at 10 years old, he waited beside a tree for 6 hours, and he started to sleep while burrowing under the sand in a loaf position. Silent, still, calm, and invisible as a bush but he woke up and a horde of preys finally stepped in front of him, and he sunk his fangs deep into the prey's hide.

Then he walked way back home, however.

His home was surrounded by countless small creatures that stood on two legs like themself, they were wielding extremely long sticks with pointy metal at the end of the stick.

The small creatures that he would have known as 'Humans'.

They had giant iron beasts that didn't even have legs but instead slithered on the ground unnaturally, and the sound of the exploding popping as they worked, and his tribe was chained by them.

There were two iron beasts that pulled a female beastman by the neck from both sides, not allowing them to move. The small creatures stabbed them with their weapons until his members opposed no more resistance.

They wielded metal boxes that spit fire out of their hose, they set on fire his brothers and fathers, and they screeched in agony, and their burning bodies eventually became lifeless, but his sisters and mothers didn't get engulfed in flames, but instead chained and stabbed into submission.

Khan stepped forward to confront the danger, however, as sneakily as he wanted to, Khan was basically a beacon even with the best attempt to hide.

One screamed at their fellow, and more screamed out upon spotting Khan. One iron beast slowly turned around and shoot out a chain that wrapped around his neck, and he started to get pulled by it, as he got dragged to it, he tried to snap the chains in half, but he could not snap them at all. And eventually, another chain wrapped around his neck, pulling from both sides.

They stabbed his shoulder, abdomen, legs, arm, etc. He started to hopelessly roar, but it wasn't going to make a difference, and he eventually reached the end of his limit, and his body went limp, but still conscious.

At the time he didn't know what they said, but now he knew, as he was reliving those moments. For some reason, their faces were blurred.

"Man, this one took longer to take down" a young voice said

"Is this a female or a male? Such a weird color that this one has.. What is that thing on its head? a parasite?" a masculine yet feminine voice said

"I dunno, but it looks like about 15 or 30 years old, judging from the standards, I think it's a female. Chain her like the others" a voice of a man said

"Are you sure man? This one resisted way longer than the others, it could be a male" a young voice said

"Baha, no man, look at that size, no way it's a male" another voice of a man said

His body got dragged on a wagon

"Sir, why do we chain only female beastmen? Why do we burn the male beastmen" a masculine yet feminine voice asked

"Because the girls are better slaves than boys." The man said as he covered Khan's wound with bandages, herbs and pouring some liquor on it

"And the reason we burn them is to harvest their body, it won't ruin anything other than the fur, and it kills them by suffocation"

"So, fire does technically nothing to them but they still die?" The feminine yet masculine voice asked

"Yeah." the man replied

"Putting that aside, I think we can sell this girl at a high price, I've never seen a red beastman before" while giving some pats to Khan's head

"How much?" a masculine yet feminine voice asked

"ho, the usual beastman slave costs 1 stella and 500 macro stellina, but since this one is rare.." the man stared at Khan

"I think we are gonna become rich with this one, gonna sell it at 50 stellas?"

"Ahah! We're gonna be rich!" "Rich we are!" "If somebody buys that one I'm gonna buy you all drinks"

And they sang that continually until they arrived at the destination.

[Several minutes later]

He woke up in an absolutely empty space, in the room there was absolutely nothing interesting other than a random bug passing by in front of him, a door at his left, and a stool across the room, he was probably in a hut.

he was crawling on the ground, and his head was stuck through a wall made of solid and cold metal that didn't allow him to move anywhere, he tried to move his limbs, but he also couldn't move them

he tried to stand up and break free, but he could not do anything to break free.

And he waited and waited until he fell asleep from boredom.

But suddenly he woke up, he heard another male beastman's shriek, an adult one, that was getting whipped by a chain. Khan couldn't see the scene, but he could imagine it by simply hearing the sounds, he soon heard a loud explosion of some sort of artillery, then a loud thump, which shocked the foundation of the hut, and he saw blood flowing underneath the door at his left. But it was soon silent, only with some humans speaking to each other, but all he could do was be still.

After a while, there was still nothing, the room was silent but still had some sort of life, as some bugs passed by and communicate with each other, they went through a gap between the walls.

However, soon someone entered the room, he had black gloves that covered his entire arm and a doctor's coat. He will refer to him as 'The Doctor'

The doctor sat on the stool and stared at him for a while.. It was unnerving, uncomfortable.

But soon the man tried to approach Khan, Khan tried to back up, but he couldn't, so he started to roar at him, but the doctor didn't flinch. And the doctor eventually stopped right in front of him, and the doctor tried to touch him with his hand, Khan tried to bite the hand, but he wasn't fast enough as the doctor retracted his hand in time, this continued until the doctor successfully touched him, and a second later, there was a chain wrapped around his snout.

And the doctor pulled out a syringe, a sort of device with a long tube, placed it on the ground, went behind the door, brought a short spear, and Khan weaved his head wildly, the doctor tried to stop Khan from moving like that by putting Khan under his armpit, but that only made the doctor fly across the room, he got up and he picked up some extra chains that were in the corner of the hut, and attached it to the chains wrapped around his snout, and he connected it to the wall of the room, and he picked up other extra chains and did the same thing from the other side, then another chain under him.

He was now immobilized, the doctor used the short spear to pierce the neck, then the doctor inserted the syringe, and squeezed the fluid into Khan.

After a few seconds, Khan went completely unconscious.

The doctor released him from all the chains, including the snout, then he inserted a long tube down his throat, and pressed a button on a square device it started to do a continuous air-pumping sound, watched underneath his snout, inside the nose, and ears, and looked deep into his eyes, he caressed his fur in search of any parasites or malformations.

Then he touched the natural layer of armor that he had on his head, the doctor tried to remove it by simply pulling it with his bare hands, but soon enough the doctor gave up trying to remove it because it was glued to its head, then he tried to stab the layer of armor with the short spear, but the spear simply stuck to it and left only a scratch mark.

"Hey! Is this one good?" He didn't notice it, but there was another man behind the doctor

"Hm, it is definitely a unique specimen. I've never seen a red Beastman with a Beastman-King's armor, although I would just simply it was breeding between the two species, but I think it's impossible, Beastman Kings went extinct a very long time ago, like.. Also, did you guys paint this one? It doesn't look natural that this one is red like this" The doctor replied

"No, I didn't paint this, it was already red like this when I found it. We could try to remove it with some high-pressure water, if its paint then it should remove easily"

"Don't be stupid, using high-pressure water is only gonna kill it, you use high-pressure water only on the adults, but this one is basically a child. I believe it's much better to do it with a bath with paint-removing chemicals, avoid cleaning its face with that chemical though, it's gonna think it is water and drink it by sticking out its tounge, and if you do clean its face, do it with a precise cleaning tool, and clean any dripping pouring down" the doctor said as he points his finger at the man, the man nodded

The doctor touched his fur even further, however, he decided to remove his glove and touch the fur with his bare hands.

"Even though it looks unnatural, it feels natural, try to touch it."

The man also touched the fur, it was soft fur, was pleasing to the touch.

"Yeah." the man said

"Leaving that aside, how tall is this one?" the doctor asked

"3 meters and 10 centimeters, I think it's about 15-30 years old" the man replied

"I think this one is actually 16 years old. Anyways those small details that it has suggest that it's a male, but its height suggests it's a female." the doctor said

"Well, let's go check the body, the head isn't the only thing that I have to check." The doctor said as he stood up, he went out the door

..

The doctor opened the door to the other side of the hut, Khan was lying belly-down on some sort of bed.

The doctor did the same procedure of touching everywhere to search for any parasites or malformations and his health.

He removed the bandages and clean it out, he covered the wound with glue

"It's very robust this one, its muscles are extremely rigid, and it seems I am right about it being 10 years old"

"is it a male or a female?"

"It's hard to tell what gender is it when they are young, as males that are too young don't have any testicles or a penis hanging outside their body. It is rather hidden inside the body. And I can't get it out without hurting it, the only way that I could think the testicles and penis become exposed is only when they are between 300 years old and 1250 years old, any other age group that isn't in that range will have their testicles and penis hidden in their body, as their semen isn't valuable in the other age groups and-"

"Thanks, I could have lived a good life without knowing that" The man said as he crossed his arms

"Apologies" the doctor replied chuckling a bit

"Anyways, you should clean this beastman, it would calm it down once it's back to life, since beastmen love baths and showers, although, you could collect its sweat to make perfumes and make more profit. But I now go, there are many more beastmen to attend to" the doctor said as he stood up and left

"Got it" the man said as the doctor closed the door behind him

"ugh, jeez, why do male and female beastmen look identical to each other, so troublesome for me" He complained as he started to light a cigar

The door slammed open and there was the doctor again

"Dont fucking smoke here, you gonna light up a beastman if a spark touches her fur!" he said as he went up close to him and extinguished his cigar with his hands,

and the door closed and he was gone once more.

[hours later]

Khan grumbled as he started to wake up, he woke up kind of dizzy, and his vision kind of blurred, but as he waited, his vision became sharper and sharper, until he saw around himself. It was a different room, as he wasn't anymore stuck in a wall, but he was now lying on the ground of this room, there was a lot of orange powder spread around the room, especially in one corner. he looks around for more, he saw a blinding light attached to a wall that looked at the ground and a small door. it was pretty plain.

He tried to stand up, but he noticed that he couldn't stand up easily, he looked at himself, he was chained from both arms and legs, and his torso was also chained from the neck and waist. He tried to force the chains off of him with brute force, but he wasn't strong enough to break them, he tried to stay upright with its back, but the same thing, the chains were too tough for Khan to break.

He waited and waited, there was nothing to observe, not even the bug passing by, just the sound of the engine of the blinding light filling the silence, the touch of the yellow powder that was laying on the ground, he started to rhythmically drum his legs with his hands out of boredom as to create some sort of music as he sat in the corner where the orange powder didn't accumulate.

As he continued to look around, he looked at the door, he saw many passing by as there were often shadows coming and going. But he continued to look around, it somewhat questioned how he got here, as that door is too small for him to go through.

Hours pasts and he could feel something watching him from the door, after a few seconds, the door slowly opened, Khan was curious but distant from the door, a human with long hair and a lab coat that he will refer to as 'The Caretaker', the caretaker hesitantly peeked out of the door, but she eventually fully stepped inside the room, but kept the door open.

Both of them looked at each other awkwardly, but she apparently was pulling something as he noticed now, kept pulling and pulling. Eventually pulled it inside the room, it was a big loaf of meat, and she spinned around herself and threw it at Khan, and the meat slapped Khan's leg and flopped to the ground.

The caretaker looked from far away, as Khan picked up the loaf of meat with its hand and started chewing on it, it tasted good, but it wasn't enough to satisfy

But while Khan was distracted, he noticed that chains lassoed around his neck as soon he finished eating the meat, he obviously resisted, as the caretaker didn't have any strength to pull him, not even the slightest.. However.. The caretaker waved another piece of steak, as to bribe him to come while pulling a bit the chain.

"Come on, come here!" The caretaker said like talking to a puppy as she waved the steak

Khan was still hungry so he went closer, the caretaker tossed the meat at him and went behind the doors, there were some beeps here and there, but eventually, a portion of the wall beside the door started to move upwards, and it opened wide enough for him to walk through, as he observed the wall moving upwards, the sound of chains and the pulling moved his attention to the caretaker, which she was still waving the meat at him.

He started to walk towards her with the intent of leaving the room, however, while he was going he was also looking at the walls, their width was 3 meters, but after a few seconds he was now out of the cell, and she tossed him the steak, to which Khan ate it mid-air, and then he looked around. it was a long white corridor, which many doors in a distance of about 8 meters between each other.

"Let's go for a bath, you're dirty" The caretaker said as she pulled the chains

Khan resisted as he wanted to explore the facility and he didn't understand her at all, but the caretaker used the same old trick, she waved another piece of steak at Khan, to which Khan started to follow her, as he continued to walk, he saw other humans wearing similar clothing walking beside the walls, avoiding the center.

One of them opened the door but closed it immediately, and then there was something smashing against the wall.

The human who hid behind the door saw The Caretaker and Khan

"Damn Ava, your lucky that you got one docile girl, this one wants to kill me so badly, and it's a male" he who hid behind the door said as he pointed behind him with thumbs up

"Eheh, thanks, and good luck taming that one" The caretaker said as she flipped her hair to him with a smirk

"Nanana, I ain't taming this one, I'm executing this one" The man replied as she walked past

As they continued to walk through the hallways, they finally reached their destination, The Caretaker tossed the piece of steak at Khan, and he ate it mid-air again

It was a single room with a giant tub in the middle, The caretaker pulled a switch, and the tub quickly started to fill itself with water

"Now we waittttttt andddddd" They both waited there for 5 minutes.

"Now it's full of water, time to throw in the soap" She threw in an entire bar of soap in the water, then she took a giant stick and she started to stir as if she was cooking soup or pasta, and soon enough, the clear and transparent water started to become white as the soap started to spread around the tub.

"Alright, it's ready, now jump in" She said as she pointed, but Khan didn't understand a thing

She sighed "INNNN-TO the bath!" She said as she pointed in the direction and waved her arms like a soldier telling his comrade where to go

Another 5 minutes of trying to make Khan understand what to do, only made Khan even more confused

With no other option, she had the last resort

"UUUGGGGH, I hoped that I didn't have to come to this" She complained, she took off her lab coat and entered the giant bath itself

"Do you understand? Come inside the bath!" She said as was swimming and she gestured to come here with both hands

Khan kind of had to have the gears in his head spin, but he eventually understood the example.

[Khan's cell]

After the bath, he was now again in his cell again, he was now fed a big loaf of meat, but it was still not enough.

He tried to get more food by using the beastman call 'feed me' but no one came, and he eventually had to sleep hungry, he's been unnaturally awake for hours before eventually falling asleep as usual since it was hard for him to fall asleep while he was still hungry, but he eventually managed to fall asleep.

[6 months later]

Days have passed, with the same scenarios, weeks have passed with the same scenarios, and months have passed with the same scenario.

He was now sitting in the corner of the room, with his entire body resting on the wall, his eyes looked only at the door, he was silent, still, calm and hungry. And he was also a bit scrawnier than he was 6 months ago, The Caretaker already noted the fact that he stopped moving from the corner 4 months ago, and she tried everything to make him move from the corner and go to the bath or even to get food, but he wouldn't move either way

There was The Caretaker and other two with the same clothing as her in the room while watching Khan

"Don't tell me she's depressed?" The caretaker questioned

"Maybe?.. If it is, then it's a first. Because there never been any other beastman becoming depressed, they rather stay right beside the door and stand still or prone out of sight until they see something" a woman said

"If we remove the chains maybe it will go back to normal?" Another man said

There were loud steps in the hallway, as they left the door open.

Then another man ran inside the room where they are in.

"Oi oi, what happened to my red beastman? I just got informed of the unusual.." It was the same man that captured Khan, he stopped talking and took a look at him

"Why she has such a droopy face? Beastmen are already tall, but you guys are gonna make it even taller by making her face 6 meters longer. how the hell have you all been treating her? I'm not selling a beastman that looks like the personification of sadness to my customers" the man said apparently angry

"Well, we have been treating her with the same procedure as every other beastmen, big loaf of meat, bath, another big loaf of meat, sometimes a piece of steak if it doesn't convince them to move anywhere.. I can't see why it's depressed, as we followed exactly as the guideline said to do" The man in the lab coat said to the man

"Maybe it needs entertainment?" The caretaker suggested

"I don't think so? Beastmen don't have many emotions and don't need any sort of entertainment?" The woman in the lab coat said

"Hmm, when i captured some beastmen, and i visited their home out of curiosity, there were some drawings here and there on the groun-"

However, there was a commotion outside the room, the four looked outside to see what was happening and closed the door behind

"What is happening here!?" A muffled yelling was heard through the walls

It was unclear and muffled but it was a roar of some sort, but it was definitely another beastman roaring through the hallway.

"HOLY SHIT!" a woman's voice screamed

Loud steps on hard concrete could be heard coming closer and faster.

It was audible that they were struggling to open the door of Khan's room

"OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR, WHAT IS TAKING YOU SO LONG!" a man yelled

"IM TRYING TO OPEN THE DOOR!" the caretaker yelled

The steps become clearer as the second passes.

And then second later the muffled steps and roars became distant and quieter.

And soon there was red blood flowing underneath the door, flowing inside Khan's room.

Khan stayed in his corner and observed the blood coming from underneath the door.

[CHECKPOINT 2/5]

...

[2 years later]

He was now immobile with iron bars surrounding his entire body, making him immobile.

The new caretaker gave him more food than the previous one 2 years ago, but didn't make him any stronger, just simply sustained his current size

Humans were passing by in front of him, as he stood still in front of a glass wall, plus a fan blowing from above him to keep him cool and oxygenated.

he looked in front of himself

There was a young man that wore purple clothing and a top hat, he was advertising the beastmen that he was selling.

There was also another beastman in green-forest color in front of him who was in the same condition as Khan.

Then a man with elegant and shining clothes walked inside the store.

As soon as the man entered, the seller immediately went close to the customer like a moth while rubbing his hands

"Dear customer, I suggest you buy this one, she's docile by her own nature, and not only that, but she's also a unique specimen! This girl is the only red beastman that ever existed in the entire world!" The merchant said to the customer as he tapped on the window that Khan resided in

"hm?" The customer looked at the merchant with curiosity

"Look here, it's all written here. docile, red, tall 3 meters and 11 centimeters, and costs 75 stellas however for some reason she needs some kind of entertainment as her special requirement" The merchant said as he pointed

The customer however didn't look too convinced as he looked at Khan

"That's huh, awesome, but huh-" the customer asked

"You don't need to do any forced work to submit it to you, she's is gonna follow your orders without beating it into submission, she also understands perfectly German, Latin, and Spanish and she doesn't require much maintenance or guarding, she won't escape" the seller tried to convince the customer

"Err, it is indeed a beastman that many would kill for, but I'll have to pass, can you show me a wolf-man instead?" The customer said as he scratched his head

"Oh, I see, follow me!" The merchant walked the other way to lead the way

[4 years later]

Khan was with the merchant for 4 years, there were also other beastmen, but he would see that beastman would soon be gone in 2 months or so, and new beastmen will come to make company again, only to disappear in 2 months like the others.

He traveled across different places and cities, he would see other beastmen getting taken, sometimes even other species that at the time he had no idea what it was, and would go outside.

The experience in those 6 years with the merchant and the new caretaker was definitely better than with the old caretaker 6 years ago, the merchant talked to him every day, even though he couldn't answer back.

But the merchant genuinely seems like he love Khan and the others, and he would give additional food if the merchant saw that it wasn't enough.

He would often pet him and other animals.

Even the non-intelligent beasts loved his presence.

The caretaker seems to have taken similar qualities, so it was basically the same with her.

Plus 1 year ago, the merchant introduced a little girl, this girl apparently loves to pet him, often mentioning the good smell and the fluffy fur.

...

The same seller from 4 years ago, sat in front of Khan behind a glass shield.

"Why the hell are you so hard to sell, why no one want to buy you?" the seller complained at Khan

"Maybe they aren't very convinced? I mean, Khan is the most unnatural-looking beastman that all of us has ever had in the past thousands of years" A little girl who got hired 2 years ago spoke

"Orr, she's too expensive?" the little girl said

"I don't think it's that, we're in the rich district and those fuckers buy everything, some of the richest ones can buy pistols that are worth 350 stellas, I think they can very well afford 75 stellas? Although, I might be doing something wrong.. hmm" The seller touched his face as he tried to think of an idea

"Maybe they aren't convinced enough, every customer that looks at her doesn't look very convinced" The caretaker said

"or maybe you should really lower the price, might be because it's too expensive" The little girl suggested to the seller again

The seller sighed "Just, a moment, let me think this out, now please get out" The little girl and the caretaker walked out of the room as he said

"Well, at least she's not just living rent-free here, her perfume is pretty good, I sell that at a 900 Macro stellina and they actually love it" the seller said to himself

[a week later]

Khan was now in a truck made to transport beastmen, and he was still in the care of the same merchant.

There were also other beastmen other than Khan, they were chained tightly to the walls of the trucks, and their snouts were also shut tight.

But there weren't only beastmen, there were also fruit beastmen (basically a smaller herbivorous beastman), a giant spider, a tripod, a pup titan-snake and etc.

There was a fan that ventilated air into the wagon space, several tiny windows protected by a layer of grid at the side of the wagon space that showed the outside, and a pair of roof lights that illuminated the entire space. There was also an armored human from toe to head who had an MP5 sitting on a chair, the most distinguishable feature that he had a helmet, goggles, and a red bandana covering his mouth.

Khan was fortunate enough to be able to peek outside, and with a single eye he looked at the outside world

It was a road made of asphalt, it was clearly a man-made road to give an advantage to anyone on the road since its elevated position allowed anyone to spot enemies first.

"Where are we going?" a voice of a little girl asked

"We're going to the richest nation in the entire world!" the merchant said with a glorious voice

"You mean the Overlord's paradise? Where the clouds rain gold and the poor are non-existent!?" the little girl as she was shocked

"YEEESSS" The merchant yelled with the biggest grin on his face

"Do you see that pillar over there in the distance?" The merchant pointed at the horizon

The little girl nodded

"That's the overlord's paradise! It can be seen everywhere in the world, no matter how far you are!"

"But aren't there a lot of bandits around the borders waiting for rich immigrants to rob of their possessions? and potentially enslave them?" the caretaker said

"Ah don't worry, this beast that we're riding in has always protected me from anything, no bandit can ever harm this beauty. And I also managed to steal two heavy machineguns from the richest idiot, and since I was already at it, I stole a ton shit of money, and some additional firearms and I hired three mercenaries that are experts at firearms, I lent them my two machineguns to two of them, fortunately, the third one already has a gun of his own, although the other two already have fire arms of their own and blah blah blah" the seller said

"Anyways" He returned the attention to the little girl

"And the Overlord's paradise! It's the only country-" he did a big inhale

"IN THE ENTIRE WORLD! That people.." He said as he spread his arm like an eagle

The little girl was attentive to what he was about to say

"..die of old age." He said with absolute neutrality and returned into a neutral pose.

"...What?" She said confused

"Nothing" The merchant said with a cheeky smile

He cough a bit

"You will understand when you are older" he quickly patted her head 5 times as his cheeky smile transformed into a full smile.

However, the merchant picked up something from the roof of the cabin and placed it in front of his mouth

"Hey you guys, How is it out there?"

Then three people responded one at a time in a slightly distorted voice

"Pretty windy out here boss" "I see nothing weird" two people responded one at a time.

The blowing wind could be heard from both of them.

"I see nothing wrong, the beastmen and the other animals are behaving quite well, aaannnd I wonder where that good smell comes from though" Loud sniffs could be heard.

"oh andddd, you dont mind that im gonna pet this red beastman if you don't mind, i think the good smell is coming from this, and this one too" The mercenaries said

"then we have nothing to worry about then" the merchant said

"We got nothing to worry about, the three mercs are active" He replied to the caretaker

"Alright" The caretaker said

[A few hours later]

[Play 'Let there be chaos by ksho' on youtube]

"Huh, boss, I see some suspicious-ass vehicle approaching from huh, both sides, Back here" a voice could be heard through the speaker

"Just shoot them then! we're in no man's land, 'the mighty rules over everything' apply here!" the seller said as he stomped the gas pedal, the truck became even faster

Just a second after he said that two machine guns could be heard drum firing from above the truck

"Hey, what is happening?" The MP5 mercenary's voice could be heard through the speaker

"Huuh, sit duck and wait there and I don't know, don't die" the seller

The little girl beside the merchant was frightened, she anxiously looked around herself.

"W-what is happening!?"

"HAHA! i have no idea!" the merchant said, obviously that only amplified the little girl's agitation

"But well, in the worst case that we also have to fight" The seller pushed a button on the roof of the cabin

A pair of rifles and a short shotgun were on display

"Blazing guns!" he said with the same big-ass smile on his face but with unnecessarily wide eyes

However, he closed that compartment and picked up the same communication device

"Anyways, eh eh," he wiped a non-existent tear "So, what is happening out there? all green?"

"Huh, no, the more I shoot, the more they appear, although they are slowly backing away, they aren't able to keep up with the truck" the mercenary responded

"Alright, then stop shooting, let's not waste ammo" the seller said

The two machine guns stopped firing

"I got about 23.950 rounds in this thing, I don't think we running out of ammo any time soon but alright" the mercenary said

"Don't you remember you just bought 50.000 machine gun rounds because they cost 10 macro stellina in total?"

"Hm, but what if the ammo chains for some reason fail? That thing is a long chain connected from the storage to the machinegun, I heard it often breaks or jams" the seller asked

"I got 1000 ammo rounds here beside me, and it's not that hard fixing the ammo chain" the mercenary said

"Alright then, you're the firearm expert" the merchant said while having one of his hands up as to surrender

[2 hours later]

It was now evening, the sun was about to set, and the night was gonna come in its replacement, however, they were closer to the Overlord's paradise, as the pillar that reached the skies was

A machinegun could be heard firing, and seconds later another machinegun could be heard firing above their heads

"Are they back again?" the seller asked

"No, they are different, they bear a loud and clear bandit flag, and looks like they are gonna catch us up!"

"Alright! Time to TURBOOO!" the seller pressed the second gas pedal, which made the vehicle even faster

"Hey, what I do here? I'm just sitting ducks with those beastmen that don't give a shit" the MP5 mercenary asked

"Huh, I dunno, open a hole and also shot them, but I wouldn't consider it, since unlike your two buddies up there, you will have no cover." The seller said

Then a second later an arrow with a red tip was impaled on the window beside him, it just impaled in the glass, but it was no way through it

"Woah, what an aim, too bad that it's an awful weapon against an armored truck AHAHA!"

"Hey, you both got machine guns, why it's taking so long to kill them all?"

"Well, it seems they don't stop appearing, the more I kill, the more they appear." the mercenary said

"Maybe the ones before were just scouts and this is the real deal?" the other mercenary theorized as he shot his machinegun

"Hey, don't lower your guard, those bandits are notorious-"

Then a loud thumb could be heard from the truck's roof

"Hey, what was that?" The MP5 mercenary asked

"Let me check" The other mercenary said

A few seconds later, the mercenary voice was heard again

"Huh, guys, five of them managed to rappel on top of the truck, and looks like they got explosive"

"What? shoot them down!"

"Huh" The caretaker looked at the arrow with the red tip that was stuck on the window

"Is this an explosive arrow?" she asked

Then a loud thunder of tnt was heard across the entire truck, however, it didn't seem to affect the truck too bad, as it didn't even steer slightly from the path

However, it wasn't done there, there were other explosions happening around the truck, from above, from behind, and from the sides.

This went on for a while, until..

in another panel, it showed damage to the wheel protectors.

"Huh! They have blown off our-" But the merchant couldn't finish his sentence, the train truck tilted to one side of the truck, and it started to dig the asphalt from one side

"OooahhAAAAHHHAAA" everyone collectively screamed, as he held an iron grip to the steer to avoid falling off-track, every single passenger in the train truck flew to the side that the vehicle was tilted to, fortunately for the beastmen, the two machinegun mercenaries, and the merchant it didn't affect them too much, as the beastmen were tightly attached to the train truck with chains, and the mercenaries and the merchant were seatbelted

"What the hell are those bandits? ex-militarieesssss-?AAAAA!" The merchant yelled and the other two passengers screamed as the train truck rumbled by colliding with the asphalt

The machine's guns kept firing, the explosions kept bombarding the train truck, the beastmen were kind of confused about what the hell was happening, and the merchant was holding the steer tight to keep the train truck on the road.

However, this wouldn't keep up for too long, as the other wheel protector was coming loose, and eventually, with more continuous bombardment it detached from the train truck, and the wheel popped from the explosions. The train truck wasn't anymore tilted, however, it wasn't in shape to run anymore.

And the train truck due to its tremendous speed dug the asphalt out of the ground as it stopped its momentum.

"Woaohohah- Are you girls okay?!" The merchant asked

"Y-Yeah!" The little girl said as she was crawling on the floor

"Im fine" The caretaker said while sitting

"Alright-" The merchant picked up the communication device "Are you three okay?"

"You told me to sit duck here, but err I ended up hanging here with this beastman, but I'm alright"

"Im still seated here shooting the machine gun, wasted some ammo though"

"Yah boss, I'm fine"

The mercenaries responded

"Alright, you three, come here in the cabin and set up everything! The cabin is the most protected spot of the entire train truck, come here now and set up the machineguns and shit"

"Got it boss" "Coming down" "Is this ladder supposed to take you up there?" The mercenaries responded

The merchant exhaled "Girls, we gotta arm up too" He pushed the button from above him, guns were on display

The train truck was still sliding on the asphalt and digging it up into the air

"Let's take advance of the fact that the truck is taking some time to come to a stop, arm up!" The merchant said as he removed the seatbelt and picked the firearms from the compartment, he tossed the two rifles to the other two and kept the shotgun for himself

"Soon the mercenaries should be arriving here" As soon he said that there was knocking on the impenetrable door that protected them from the outside world

"It's me, kinda hard standing here, I don't wanna fall down, open up" The mercenary with MP5 said

And so the merchant opened the door, as expected there was the merchant holding tight to the stair rails to not fall with the MP5 swinging around with a strap

The mercenary walked inside without asking questions, he was holding on to a wall to not fall with one hand

"Where are the other two?" The merchant asked

"I dunno" he shrugged with one arm "They are probably undeploying the machine guns from their position, also, how are you standing without holding on to anything?" the mercenary said

"I have no idea" the merchant said

Then a few seconds later, there was someone in front of the door, it was the mercenary with the machine gun in one hand, he walked inside the cabin, then the other mercenary walked through too.

"Where is the extra ammo chain slot?" The mercenary with a machinegun asked

"The what?" the merchant said

"This train truck is expensive, it should have another extra slot for machineguns here" the mercenary said

"Oh. I dont know" the merchant said

"There is it!" The mercenary stumblingly walked to the side of the cabin "Hey dude, the other side should have also another chain ammo!" he said to the other mercenary, that mercenary looked where it was supposed to be and started to stumblingly walk there too

They both sat down where it was supposed to be, and they both inserted their finger into a slot and then they grasped it and pulled the iron sheet.

It was a space that had a chain of ammo.

"Oi! Pull the ammo chain from the turret to here!"

They both started to pull the ammo chain to themselves until there was nothing to pull anymore. However, the train truck eventually stopped sliding on the asphalt, and the train truck came to a stop.

The two set themself in front of the door, they laid down, they chucked the ejector, and they set up a kill zone for the bandits,

The mercenary with the MP5 stood just right behind the corner and ready to provide cover fire, the other three (little girl, merchant, and caretaker) were instructed to stand down for the moment.

Minutes have past, and someone stepped inside the train truck, however, they second they came in, they got shot down by the mercenaries.

However, that seems like made a frenzy, as soon that bandit was dead, a storm of bandits filled the entire hallway, it seems like they had a direction, just not a plan.

They ignored the chained beasts and went straight for the cabin, however, they kept dying one by one, since they did not have any firearms but only swords and explosives

"Swords? Have a taste of modern technology fucking pussies!" one of the mercenaries taunted as he fired his machinegun

The little girl, the caretaker, the merchant, and the mp5 mercenary stood behind the corner

"Sure it does give different energy calling them pussies while in a position of absolute advantage" the merchant said while chuckling

This went on for several minutes, but eventually, the bandits gave up and went home empty-handed, at least, for the moment.

"Good, they are gone, so what we do-"

A blue flash of light blinded them and then everything blackout

...

[At morning]

"uaaaa, did I drink too much?" The merchant said as he opened his eyes

"Oi, you're finally awake" An unknown voice of a man was heard

"Anndd who are you, I don't remember hearing you last night" The merchant said as he rose up groggily.

"What time is it?" He asked

He tried to look around but his vision was blurry, he could tell he wasn't in his house, but he wasn't quite sure where he was either.

"It's almost 8 am, we're in the morning, anyways, welcome to your new home." The man said while chuckling a bit

"New home?" The merchant questioned the wording

The merchant's eye started to get sharper.

He looked at the man, he was a rough jawline, messy hair, and shaved beard, and his eyes seems like he was sleep deprived.

He also wore a padded uniform and a spear.

"Wait a moment" The merchant said as he looked at everything

He looked at himself, he was only wearing underpants, and his eyes darted somewhere else.

The room he was in was absolutely awful, the bed he was sleeping on was just hay, the window was just iron bars, and there was just a hole in the ground as a toilet.

"Where I am?! Where are the others?" he yelled

"Don't worry about them or where you are. Worry more about what's gonna happen" The bandit suggested

"And if you ask me, a lot of work is coming up for you" He said as he leaned forward and supported himself with the spear

"Anyways, you must be a merchant of beasts."

"So, will you instruct them not to kill anything, otherwise we will kill them, we can't keep them here forever, I want to eat too." The bandit asked

"And if you don't comply, then I'll have to torture you until you agree" he threatens

...

"Where are they?" The merchant asked him

"Who? The little girl? the woman?" The bandit said

"No, my beasts" The merchant

"Eh, care more about some mindless beasts than the two girls?"

"Your animals are around here. Why you would wanna know that?"

"How are they? safe? How are they chain'd? Not all species are suitable for chaining the same way, it might damage their quality!" The merchant said as he actually really worried

"They are fine I guess? They are all linked to each other, we don't have many chains, and stop asking questions and answer my question instead, yes or no!?" The bandit pointed at him and he seemed to become more irritated with his continuous questioning

"Yes-yes-yes but wait, one last question please-do they have an open window or some ventilation where they can breathe? Can they hear the birds singing? they really need that!" The merchant said in an even more worried tone and he seemed like he was about to cry

"Jeez, yeah they do. duh, they can hear me telling to shut the fuck up" The bandit responded irritated

The merchant exhaled a phew

"Alright." The merchant said quietly

The merchant got up from his bed and then looked up at the iron-barred window

[Play 'Overdrive but only the good part' on youtube]

Then the merchant inhaled

...

"IT'S FOOD TIME!"

"EVERYONE, HERE NOW! FOOD TIME!"

He yelled through the window

The bandit who was guarding him perked up

"W-What are you doing!" The bandit wielded his spear.

"You wanna scream? There you go!" The bandit used his spear to stab the merchant in the shoulder

"AOAOAA"

"SOPHIE! KHAN! TWILIGHT! SWEETY BELL! CHARLIE! fuck man, COME HERE NOW! EVERY BEAST, LET'S GET OUT OF HERE AND GET FOOD TIME!"

The merchant continued to yell.

he could hear a loud building collapsing

"Ehehe, that's the sound I loved to hear in this moment"

The merchant started to laugh

"Ehehe.. Ehehe. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! *inhale* MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! AAAAAAAAA"

"I ain't planning to work here my entire life, especially when it's not my field." The merchant turned around as he ignored his injury

"You are a fucking idiot you know? Just like the rest of the population!" He stated to the bandit

The bandit seems to get more irritated

"Oh really?" The bandit was about to thrust the spear where the merchant's heart is.

"let me explain" The merchant said

"First of all, it's almost 8 am, the time that I usually feed my beasts, so they are really hungry."

"And even if you fed them, it was unlikely that you guys had enough food anyways since you also wanted to eat too"

"Second, I saw that you are sleep deprived, what was the last time that you slept? 2 days ago? 2 years? who knows"

"And since you talk so much, Having all of them chained together means they will have more power. destroy buildings or pull each other!"

"And you also told me they are around here, that simply means that they are in nearby rooms somewhere"

"And I also asked if there was ventilation or an open window that they can breathe or can hear bird singing."

"it's because if they can hear you yelling, they can hear me without a doubt!"

"But most importantly, I've trained them"

"I sell only high-quality beasts, not some ass-cheap useless piece of shits!"

Then rumble and shook to the local building, and a boulder from the building fell between the merchant and the bandit, breaking the spear.

"Eh" He picked up the picture of the spear that wbirdsroken

"Sorry man, ahah, but seems like Author is on my side this time" His smile started to occupy most of his face as he extended his arms to the sides in dominance

Seconds later, he could hear the stomshitd footsteps and the slitherings, and the 'SSSSSSSSS'

"Anyways, could you tell me where are the two girls and my three men? In exchange I might tell my beasts to not eat you, what do you think?" The merchant asked him

"No way, I will never tell you, I'll kill you now!" The bandit opened the cell door and seems like he would kill him with a broken shaft

The wall behind the merchant crumbled, and several beasts crawled through the ruins, but some stayed behind.

The bandit stopped in fear upon seeing the beasts

"SSSSSSSSSS"

"Bet." The merchant said to bandit

The bandit was, how to say, shocked. He saw more than 7 beasts behind the merchant.

The merchant was still in the same position.

"Y-you wanted to know where they are?! Fine!" The bandit said as he stepped backward

"They are in the last room on my left! And the three men are at the right!" The bandit told him the information.

"Good, good good good.." The merchant said

"Boys.." the merchant said as he scratched under their snout

He slowly extended his arm toward the bandit

...

And his finger slowly pointed at him

...

..

.

"EAT HIM!"

The merchant yelled

"WHAT! NO" The bandit screamed

The carnivorous beasts jumped on him without mercy

"HE- AHAPODOHJGAAHHDAW" The bandit yelled incomprehensibly

The merchant just walked beside them and walked down the hallway where the two girls should be at.

However, the bandit slowly turned his head toward the merchant

"Y-YOU LIED!" The bandit had his last strength to yell at him that

The merchant stopped and turned around.

"Well, play it stupid, win stupid prices. I never said I would, I said I might" The merchant replied with a smirk

The beasts ate the innards and guts of the man, then one proceeded to rip off the man's head.

"Oh, you died. Goodon't want to have any revenge arc" The merchant said to the carcass

He turned around and started walking in the hallway in the same direction.

.

"I should get my clothes back, I wonder how are the girls.. I hope my beasts didn't kill the mercenaries, I don't think they got used to them." The merchant smiled

A few minutes later, he heard the little girl's voice

"HEELP. HEELP. HEELP. HEELP" The little girl's voice could be heard

'mm, I can already feel there is something really wrong with her by just hearing her voice.' The merchant thought

...

...

..

..

.

.

he continued to walk, he saw the little .rl just behind the corner.

She was utterly clothesless, she was already facing the direction where the merchant would appear.

She kept saying the same phrase even though she already saw him, and she stood still like a statue

The merchant didn't move or answer, and he looked further.

The cell was wide open, there were his beasts behind her, but they were hesitant to approach and kept their distance

'She petted and complimented every beast, the beasts love her. If they don't approach her, there is only one reason'

He thought

He then gripped the broken spear in his hand harder, then threw it like a javelin to the little girl.

The spear struck the little girl, the spear stuck on the little girl's throat.

But she continued to repeat the same words over and over again, without any reaction to the fact the merchant tried to kill her

The merchant sighed.

'She's already dead. This is just a death statue."

(Death statue; a supernatural phenomenon where if somebody didn't die directly from any animals, a copy of that person will be replicated. Will repeat for help continuously, if somebody approaches at arm's length, it is certain death. Often easy to detect for those who had a deep or close connection with the person, however, it will be hard to distinguish as a Death Statue for who is an acquaintance, a distant friend, or a stranger to the deceased)

Then he walked.

"What a tragedy, she died from the rubble of the building that my beasts caused. She was a smart girl." The merchant complained

'if you hear me, im sorry.'

He sighed

"Let's hope the others are still fine" He said

He continued to walk.

...

A few minutes later he could hear chains moving and the voice of a mumbling woman, it sounded like there was something that didn't allow him to let her talk.

He walked there until he finally reached the spot, the cell was completely intact, and he looked at the prisoner in this cell.

It was the caretaker, she was naked, she had a blindfold, a tape strapped around her mouth to not allow her to talk, and she was hung to the roof like a swing.

She spent the night for other reasons.

"Jeez, they really did bad on you" The merchant said

As soon as he talked, the caretaker perked up and looked in the direction of the voice.

And her mumbling sounded more cheerful.

"Good thing the cell's doors are broken" The merchant walked through it.

He walked there and started releasing her from the chains.

After all the chains were released, she dropped to the ground, and she removed the blindfold from her eyes.

Then she tried to remove the tape that was tightly taped.

"Don't try to remove it like that, it's useless, gotta find some scissors or a knife"

Then he saw a piece of clothing left by two dead bandits from the corner of his eyes.

"Yyyyyyou don't mind wearing filthy clothing for the moment right?" The merchant asked

The caretaker shook her head.

...

..

.

[CHECKPOINT 3/5]

.

..

...

---

[A FEW MINUTES LATER]

They wore the same bandit's clothes, and they started walking towards where the mercenaries would be.

The merchant informed the caretaker that they lost the little girl and saw the Death Statue of her, she could feel the same gut feeling as the merchant when she saw her.

She tried to grief and mourn her death, however, the merchant denied her. The reasoning is that he heard stories of Deathstatues killing the bereaver, so she had to comply so.

They passed by the corpse of the bandit, it was now a fresh headless skeleton

Minutes later they also found the three mercenaries alive and well, their cells were completely intact.

Their cells were literally next to each other

"Oi boss, What is happening?" One of the mercenaries asked

"Ah don't worry, let's get out of here, I'll tell you on the way out" The merchant told them

They went to the beasts and were kind of passive-aggressive with the mercenaries, but the merchant told them to not do anything.

in the meanwhile, some other beasts in the background were eating the corpses of the bandits, judging on how many bandits there were, not too many, just very reinforced walls, and perhaps they were also good at attacking random trucks, but other than that, seems like they were awful.

The mercenaries wanted to get out immediately, however, the merchant refused and instead wanted to find again their old clothing, wandering around naked and with bandits' clothing is nothing but a death wish if they want to get into the Overlord's Paradise.

After a while of searching, they found the bandit's armory, and it seemed like the bandits stashed every single item in this single room; clothing, weapons, armor, explosives, money, tools-and they finally found a sharp weapon to cut the caretaker's tape, the merchant finally found his clothing, purple suit, black shirt, and top hat, the mercenaries also found their equipment.

They got out of the armory, they finally got their clothes back.

The beasts seem to have recognized the mercenaries, because of the helmet and red bandana, even though the other two mercenaries weren't there, the mp5 mercenary was in the truck petting them.

They searched the base until they found their train truck.

"Oh good, it's still quite intact, except for the wheels and the protections" the merchant said

"How did we get here anyways?" he asked

"I remember they knocked us out with an explosive tazer" one of the machinegun mercenaries said

"Oh shit, that's why we are then.." The merchant fadingly stopped talking mid-sentence

"So, where is that Explosive tazer?"

The same mercenary pulled the firearm out of his pocket

"Here"

The merchant looked at the firearm, it was a revolver with glowing bullets

"It's smaller than I expected" he said

"It got a good personality though" The mercenary said

"Oh, please. It's not time for jokes" The merchant said

"Anyways, we gotta start fixing right now or some random apex predator might appear out of curiosity and kill us. Me, you, and all the beasts here" he hurried them

"On the hidden compartment of the train truck, there should be emergency equipment and food, assuming the bandits didn't discover that. We can replace the wheels"

Everyone nodded

[SEVERAL MINUTES LATER]

They went into the hidden compartment on the train truck, fortunately, the equipment was there as expected.

And they started to work on replacing the wheels, they replaced the wheels and the protections and they finally set free to go.

And they watched from afar, as they observed the fixed wheels and the new protections

"Alright, the train truck is fixed" One of the mercenaries talked

"So, we are gonna get back on track?"

"Yes. otherwise what we would do?" The merchant responded

Then, an unknown voice was heard behind their back as soon as they finished fixing it.

"Stop right there and show your hands up, otherwise we will shot" The unknown voice said, he could hear it from his accent that it was a French man speaking English.

And so he and everybody else complied

'How did they manage to slip through my beasts? They were all over the place, it wasn't possible that he slip through all of that?!' The merchant thought

He decided to turn around slowly while everybody else still had their back to the threat

He had a navy blue trench coat that reached to their feet, and a similarly colored hat, in front of the hat had a golden spike pointed towards the sky at the end of the spike was a golden star, and at the left side he had strapped a thick layer of armor presumably where he usually faced the enemy, on their waist he had a sabre sword, whatever he was holding was a pretty old kind weapon, an upgraded musket, it could reload on its own at faster speeds and had greater power, a downside that it was way heavier than the regular ones. However, the merchant soon noticed that he wasn't alone, there were several of them, roughly 20. But that wasn't the most important thing, as the most important detail he saw was that they had the flag of France on their shoulders.

'So, they come from the Overlord's paradise, I have to play this well. How did 20 of them pass through unnoticed anyways?'

"Don't you dare move!"

"Calm calm.. we're not bandits, we just got captured by them and now we're escaping from here" The merchant said to them, in the meanwhile the other three turned around too

"prisoners?" The French soldier asked

"Yes, we were prisoners" the merchant said

"So, what happened here?" French asked

"Well, you see I'm a beast merchant, and so I used my beasts to break out of the cells"

There was silence for a brief moment

"so huh, are you from the Overlord paradise?"

"Overlord paradise? That's actually called France you fool."

...

The French soldier clicked a button and started talking, meanwhile the others kept aimed their muskets towards him

"Monseigneur, il y a trois personnes qui prétendent être des prisonniers, deux semblent être des militaires, une est une femme et celui qui m'a parlé ressemble à un homme riche. Que devrions-nous faire?"

.

.

"Tirez-les tous"

.

[Months later]

Several months ago, he ran away from the merchant, however, he got caught again, and he's now a work slave in a country.

He's been working for the past years. Initially, he did have an 'owner' but he died, so now he's the country's legal slave

While he did have a roof over his head, he didn't have enough food for himself, and they chained his legs so he couldn't run, they limited how much he could move, and they even limited how upright he could stay.

Had to fight multiple times throughout the years from other beastmen. He had many hostile gazes from other beastmen, and fights, but in the end, he always came to top

Sometimes they would be sent to war against other countries, often many survived it, but sometimes only a few remained. But he already knew what was happening, as they weren't sent to war to subjugate, but rather soften them, as half-starving beastmen were hardly a threat and so it was a suicide attack, so to ensure that he would survive he hid behind the last lines, and it worked, always did.

So as time passed, he was the one who lived the longest out of all the other beastmen, because every other beastmen were dead, but he wasn't alone since every time one died, it would just be replaced.

...

This went on for decades and decades until he was an almost full-grown beastmen, giant, mighty, and almost intelligent as a human.

With time he been recognized by sight alone to be the leader of the pack even by the newer members. There was no more fighting for food and they weren't giving eachother hostile gazes, but neutral ones.

As time went on, Khan gained more power and even more power both physically and socially in the dark, hidden from any human that could suspect a thing, he learned to see which human was to avoid and which to be neutral about or even friendly towards (Which was no one lmao).

(Beastman by nature do not have the ability of speech, including Khan)

He realized that most beastmen didn't know how to communicate anything other than submission and silent anger, so he taught them various gestures, vocal communications, and ranges.

[4 YEARS LATER]

That day was his birthday, the day he became 180 years old, And it was also the same day the world would remember history again.

Today he reached his fully fledged form, intelligent as a human, strong as mountains, and wisdom beyond any sage.

And cannot be contained anymore.

...

He and his comrades formed together around a giant stone that served as a table, under the shade, invisible from any humans, Khan Godrà has formed a plan, a plan that would not fail.

As they communicated through drawings. And text, and gestures to pinpoint, however, took a lot of time as from time to time they were uncertain and unclear, but with further explanations, it could be worked.

however, the plan was interrupted, as it was time to go out and work.

[LATER]

when everyone was dispersed doing their work, they knew there was a certain trigger that they needed to hear whenever the plan was ready or not.

Khan in the meanwhile was storing up the sudden influx of a feeling, a primal and intensive feeling, it was a disordered and destructive desire to tear everything down.

As the day went on, the people passed by, the workers from humans to beasts were working, babies cried in the streets, and from time to time officers had to go to the wall to subjugate a predator trying to get in, and so on.

However, they would never expect a threat to come from inside.

An ancient roar of a now long-gone species was heard from across the town. The roar for the seat of power, the roar of a Beastman King.

However, no one recognized it, as it had never heard for a very long time, so long that not even thousands upon thousands lifetime of overlords would not recognize the roar.

Out of the blue, every beastman started to become hostile and aggressive towards both people and buildings, they brought them to the ground crushing people and vehicles, and if they didn't get crushed, then they would be hit by the rubbles like bullets.

No police or special forces were able to dispatch, as everything happened all at once, like a sudden bombardment.

...

...

..

.

[TIME SKIP]

In just three days, Germany was in total ruin, with corpses under the rumbles, the streets were littered with more corpses; the air stunk of death.

Buildings were reduced to rumbles, some were about to fall apart, and the windows were shattered. The market square was gone, leaving only some stands with only scraps of food left; It was a gray desert.

Meanwhile, the beastmen wandered around the kingdom cleaning up the streets by eating the corpses, some humans survived, but not for long, as Beastmen pounced out apparently from nowhere to kill them.

However Khan sat on top of an intact part of the walls (It was mostly crumbled), and he didn't look anywhere in particular, another beastmen climbed and approached him.

'What do now' The beastman asked him with hand language.

...

'I dont know' Khan responded, they both stayed quiet.

Then Khan turned to that beastman

'Idea.' He hand languaged to him

'War, to, naked two legged' Khan told him

[10 Years later, Russia]

He and his army in the past 10 years ravaged countries left and right, everywhere they went no buildings would ever raise up again, obviously thy weren't invincible, some losses and sacrifices were made.

Now they were in a place known as Russia and its lived by humans.

The environment wasn't calm and kind unlike other regions, he and most of his comrades wore an local animal's hide, which kept them warm in the freezing, blinding, and deafing snowstorm.

Sometimes icicles would fly from nowhere and impale themselfs to Khan and his comrades, but it wasn't enough to hurt, only to annoy.

As they walked, they came closer and closer to the walls of the russians, they were commonly known as the thoughest humans out of all other countries.

They only had a tower shield to their weak arm, a spear to their strong arm, and a ballista as crossbow.

and they approached until they were 5 meters from the walls, they charged as one unit and kicked the wall in one single spot, and it caused the entire section to fall apart.

[Days later]

They all successfully raided this country too, the humans were definitely thougher, but they weren't too different.

Khan walked into a perfectly straight street and it led directly to the capital, and he walked towards it.

"Kaan-Kyun.." a voice of a woman was heard from far away and it echoed everyone.

He turned around, as the voice seemed to come from behind, his comrades seems to haven't heard that, as they kept walking forward to the objective avoiding him.

"Kaan-Kyun, do you remember when Felix-Chan taught you the Lugunica language?" the voice became slightly louder

He looked left and right confused of where it came from

"that time when Felix stuck a stick into your nose? Kaan-Kyun?"

The beastmen around him stopped moving and the world became gray, as he remembered for a brief second.

"Or when you met for the first time? Felix Argyle!"

Khan remembered, a male human with female clothing, with anomalous beastman ears.

"Kaan-Sama, do you hear me? That time when we sparred and you broke my shoulder with a single strike?" an voice of an elder human was heard

[CORE MEMORY: FIFTEEN UNLOCKED]

Then something in Khan's brain clicked.

The giant wooden sword, the unexpectedly agile movements, the strength to carry a log on his shoulders, not die from extreme heights, and finally the strike on his shoulder.

'Wilhelm?' Khan thought

[CORE MEMORY: FOURTEEN AND THIRTEEN UNLOCKED]

The pact, the handshake, the food, the promise, the mansion... The teachings, Lugunica, od Luguna, the magic, the language...

'Crusch? Felix? What is happening?' He thought as he looked around himself, lucid and clear.

The world around him was stopped and it was all colored gray. But he soon noticed something, everything around him was slowly becoming dust; the buildings, his comrades, the humans- everything flew away with the wind, and the snowstorm was also slowly disappearing.

"Is this a dream?" He said out loud without a vocalizer.

"Where are you all!?" He yelled

As everything became nothing around him, and as the snowstorm disappeared, a radiance of blinding light appeared infront of him..

"Kaan!" The voice of Crusch, Wilhelm and Felix was heard in unison

"It is time to wake up, the Judgement day is active."

An unknown voice suddenly told him

[Rehabilitation has been completed early through external means]

[Waking up victim]

---

Felix was kneeling on his chest, as he called him out, they thought they would be for a very long time there.

but Khan was unusually calm.

Khan's eyes darted around.

Khan wasn't being a rabid dog anymore, and he calmly looked around.

"Kaan-sama? Is that you?" Crusch asked

The beam of light from his pupil blinded her.

"Yeah, it's me." Khan responded

The overlord clapped "Compliments, you came back." The overlord told him, as he started to unwrap the purple chains around him to then disappear.

Khan slowly stood up

"What is happening right now?" Khan asked

But the two didn't answer, and they just stared somewhat below his head with worry.

"Kaan-sama, you need to check under your chin" Wilhelm suggested

Khan turned his head 90 degrees and looked down, Felix was holding on for dear life on his armor when he stood up, he was about 5 meters off the ground. Khan picked him up and dropped him where Wilhelm and Crusch were.

"The enemies are attempting to bring down the walls" Wilhelm informed

"The judgment day.. right." Khan said

But then they heard the overlord clapping.

"Good, good. Now it is time."

[A MINUTE LATER]

'What the hell are they doing?' Crusch thought as she observed Khan and that Man.

"Du musst ein Verrückter sein" Khan said almost growling to the man, he was wrapped around in chains, but those chains seemed to be ready to launch him across the field as they stretched apart.

"Bien. Alors-PRÉPAREZ-VOUS À GRONDERRRRRR-

Khan and the purple chains disappeared, and the wind whistled. The man looked up, where Khan supposedly went, and he clapped and laughed in satisfaction.

Crusch looked in the same direction but he couldn't see Khan anywhere

"What did you do to Kaan-sama?" Crusch demanded from him

"What did I do?" He asked

"Oh, I don't know, maybe to his death?" He shrugged

Crusch felt a tick of annoyance in the back of her mind as she saw the wind twirling around him 'He is he serious right now?'

"I demand an answer to my question right now, and you dont dare make jokes!" she ordered him, as her glare stared-

He sighed in a compromise "Alright alright madam green hair. Where is he? That's something shouldn't worry about for the moment, just know he's about to get into a fight" He informed.

"Green hair!? Im the Duchess Crusch of the Karsten house! One of the royal candidates for the 42nd king of Lugunica! Not green hair." Crusch corrected him.

'I normally would have never said im a royal candidate, but it's just us here, and this man doesn't want to do anything in our world other than winnin-

"Cool. Im Saetang." He introduced himself

"I didn't expect you to be that important, considering what you're wearing.." He shrugged

"but I guess"

he reached out to her for a handshake, he used his left hand for that

Crusch kinda looked at his hand 'A left hand shake? That's unexpected'

She would have shaken hands, if it wasn't for the fact the closer she got, the more the knights around Saetang death-stared at her through the helmet, they probably dont even see him attempting to do a handshake.

"No handshake? Well. Nice to meet you Duchess Crusch" Saetang said

"Anyways, we can stay here, nothing serious is happening on the battlefield right now" Saetang told her

Then an explosion could be heard in the distance, and the militia that were away from them became agitated for a moment.

"Atleast, for the moment."

---

'That fucking Overlord must have put me in some kind of experiment or something' Khan thought as he glided through the sky, going seemingly nowhere.

He waited for a while, attending to whatever was in store for him, until he stood up mid-air on his own and a room full of electronics materialized around him, and around him, there were some women in white coats.

"Welcome aboard beastman" One of them greeted him.

"Where do you like to land?" she asked him in German

...Khan looked around here and there..

'A deployment spaceship? This is some high tech shit' He thought.

Then a phone rang, and they picked up the call

"Hé, assure-toi que l'homme-bête atterrisse sur le champ de bataille. Commandement du Seigneur." the PhoneGirl said

"Ouais, ouais, je sais" she responded

She looked at Khan "Say something, I know you have a vocalizer. Cmon, up up" She encouraged him as if he were a puppy

"Oh, and you can only deploy near battlefields, or.. huh" She looked at one of the monitors " Looks like there isn't really a battlefield, just a storm of soldiers, it would be best if you directly land on the enemy"

Khan became kind of irritated "And you think im that stupid to launch me at the enemy's mouth?" He asked

She pointed a flamethrower at him

"Of course. Otherwise, well.." She started tapping on the flame thrower, then she quietly imitated the sounds of gas leaking

He stood there contemplating, but it seemed like he didn't have a choice, so, he had to draw-

"I know, I know, now don't tell me you gonna try to shoot me with that, even if you use your power armor, you not gonna be fast enough to catch me off guard, so just make it quick and land somewhere." She warned

Khan's eyes then started to move independently, and they analyzed the room... It seems he was surrounded by flame throwers, he looked up, and there were men upside down from the ceiling pointing at him a flame thrower, and he looked under him.. there was just the floor. Maybe he could kill one of them, but how about the others?

He started to move his eyes normally and Khan sighed "Fine. Let's get this over with." He said.

"Excellent!" She happily clapped

"So what I do?" Khan asked

"See that chamber? Get in there" She instructed

He looked in that direction, it was a cylinder room that was 4 meters.

"It doesn't look tall enough for me" He said

"Well, yeah, it's meant for some other species but it should still work for you." She said

"What is it for?" he asked as he got inside it

"Hmm, weeelll, I dunno. I think it's meant for a mutated vessel that my Lord made, a giant human I think.." She uncertainly theorized

"Anyways.." She looked again into the monitor

"It still doesn't look like there's anywhere safe to deploy you, the only spot is directly into the enemy" she informed

"Is that so?..." Khan told her.

"Alright." She manipulated a button here and a stick here and there, and then she clicked a button. Upon pressing that, the room Khan was in was closed by a door.

A second later the room he was in made a noise of unhooking, and pressurized air was heard, immediately after he felt like gravity got turned off, and he started to levitate. "Holy shit what the fu-"

---

The commander of the main army in the background continued to bark orders while motioning with his arm the order 'rally' after they retreated from the walls.

meanwhile, the Right-hand elites were kicking ass on the walls, they started to hear something... they could only describe it as a bomb gliding through the wind.

some of them looked up, it was extremely visible, as the capsule's color contrasted the sky colored in blood.

It glided through the sky, and it landed far away from them, probably kilometers away. One of the right-hand elites that was in the back lines started to run to one of the towers and he climbed it, pulled out a pair of binoculars and he observed where it was, he had to adjust it to have a clear image multiple times. bit at last he finally tuned in the distance.

It was a gray-blur cylinder capsule, it bore the flag of France and

And then the 'door' got kicked away from the inside, and a red beastman emerged out of it.

"Why a beastman is inside there?" one of them asked

"The lord knows.."

---

Khan kicked the door out of his way, but as soon he did a black mob soon surrounded his legs while he was inside the capsule.

However, it wasn't that troublesome, as he just walked out as if it was nothing, while accidentally kicking some of them.

'I thought I was gonna die if I walked in here'

He started to look around, to examine where he was... there was the Capital of Lugunica, or atleast he thought it was. Then he looked the other way... there was an enormous tree, with a ton of flashing lights at its base.

'I am back where I was when I got teleported into this world?' He sighed

But a second later, he thought about why there were a ton of flashes around the perimeter of the tree, he observed for a few seconds, it was like there were multiple machinegun firing.

As Khan was looking at the several flashes of lights resembling firearms at the base of the enormous tree, khan heard heavy footsteps running at a familiar pace, a beastman that was "running".

He turned his head slightly, with just one eye looking behind to see what was happening.. And as soon he turned around, an dark being, tall as him, it was a fucking skeleton of a beastman that somehow moved around. Khan just kicked it and he broke its bones and it stayed down, he just shrugged but he looked up again and it was Wolperionen? What is he doing here? Why is he here?

Khan turned around, stepping upon and sweeping his metallic boot onto the soldiers of darkness who were at best zombies with swords. "Wolperion! What are you doing here!" His voice came as a surprise

"What are you doing here?" Wolperionen asked the same question back to Khan with more curiosity than anything.

Khan pointed at the pod that he got ejected out from, a deep blue and that France flag adorning it "I got out from that, the damn French put me there and sent me to.. anyways, how did you get here? I had to ride a wagon to get there to the capital yet-"then a thunderbolt of a shaft flew in the air, its presence was known by its distinctive sound of a Ballista, however, while Khan and Wolperionen heard that, they were far too clumsy, sluggish, and too little time to dodge.

Khan and Wolperionen were struck onto the vulnerable parts of their armor which they couldn't cover up or didn't bother to cover up. Khan with a groan "Heavy Ballistas! Get to cover!" Wolperionen with a subtle shake of his head "What cover! Were in an open field!" While he held to the bolt of the heavy ballista.

Khan seeing him "Dont pull out the shaft!" He looked around, he saw one place that could get them to cover, it was just a hunch though. "Wolperionen! With me! To the tree!"

They both start to step by step go there as fast as they can, khan's mechanical armor attempts its best to move a bipedal 6-ton red beastman which wasn't designed for, Wolperionen was already unnaturally fast which kept up with Khan. "There are too many that we can just shoot them all!" Khan

The soldiers of darkness that operated the heavy ballistas were reading up their next shot. Khan while looking back, with one arm shot the Heavy ballistas with his bolt gun, the ammo belt hanged loosely but the barrel was smoking, each time the gunshot, it would create an explosion and undoubtedly neutralize the heavy ballista crew, however, he looked at the sky, in a spiral, when one died, another heavy ballista crew and the heavy ballista itself. "Its useless." Khan said

Khan took a glance at the unsuitable and unrepair condition of Wolperionen's armor. Wolperionen was fast, that was without a doubt, but he still was clumsy just like Khan and the other beastmen. He thought for a second about himself, he was alot stronger and thougher than his peers, born with an appearance and strenght of a female but with the ferocity of a male, his armor was top condition except for the left shoulder, it had no more blast protection because of Wolperion shoot at it but it was still more than enough.

He had an idea, a stupid one at that. "Wolperionen, leave me behind! I will catch up to you." However, Khan had way more suitable armor than Wolperionen for this type of anti-beast artillery.

Wolperionen just glanced back and tossed his bolt gun at Khan, which he caught in air. Khan turned around and Akimbo wielded the bolt guns while walking backward, he would aim down sight one at a time, as he could focus one side of his vision but couldn't focus on both, he had to look straight at a target or focus only on one eye at the time. Meanwhile, wolverine jogged at the tree with a bolt shaft impaled onto his chest.

The heavy ballistas were already shooting at Khan, each time they shot, Khan hid under his armor, as they tried to shoot at his nose or eyes, a pretty hard spot to shoot, but deadly for sure, every other part of the body was hardly penetrable expect in few locations, but with him aware, it was impossible to penetrate, the best they had were those two small spots.

Khan walked backward and attempted his best to minimize their number, but the more he killed, the more they doubled, and his relatively slow speed didn't help either.

Soon, they doubled, and tripled, no matter how many Khan shot there were just too many, all he had to do was to rely on his armor to protect himself from the heavy ballistas.

[CHECKPOINT 4/5]

Beatrice. She had been in a state of half asleep and half awake, it felt as if she slept three times in a row in the same day, she felt groggy and awful, but she still could feel, the dark creature that captured her, she still could tell it was moving, somewhere, but she didn't know where she wanted to yell out but she couldn't, as if she had no mouth.

But soon, she felt free, she felt... awake?

She opened her eyes, it was all pitch black, except, for a table, a square one. In the center of the table there was a chess board, and the other side of the table there was something.. no, somebody. It had a suit and tie or a tuxedo, his body was that of darkness, but not pitch black, and his eyes and mouth were all glowing white.

The creature infront of her waved at her friendly and with a polite smile "Welcome, I am Poker. What's your name?" He placed his hands on top of eachother on the table, waiting patiently for an answer.

Beatrice took a deep breath, stirring on the chair. "Why should i give you my name?.. S-State your intentions immediately!" Beatrice demanded from Poker

Poker had zero reaction and continued to smile "Say what you wish, however, you and i are here both to play a game. Which is, chess. I am ready whenever you are ready, until then, do what you wish."

Beatrice wasn't sure if poker was powerful or not, but since he said to do as you wish.. She got off the chair and stepped on the ground with her high heels "You aren't gonna do anything I believe?"

Poker showed his hands to let her know he had nothing "Absolutely not, im ready whenever you are ready." And returned to his usual pose to put his hand on top of the other hand while leaning on the table. However, the thing just stared at Beatrice.

"Mph!, I'll take at your word, for now, do not attempt anything funny I suppose." Beatrice warned Poker. Beatrice now looked around and tried to get a clue, any memories that could understand what is this place, is this shamak? An Illusion? No.. there's no way a spirit like her could get any of these effects, and even if she was, she could break out just as easily as she got in it. She raised her hand and attempted to break open or disintegrate whatever spell held her caged in this place.

Poker just chuckled as he stared at her attempts, Beatrice turned around to face him "The only way out of here is to win." Poker said "And it's the only way out of here, but if you want to look outside, you are more welcome to do so." and he pointed like a butler next to him, and a bright white rectangle appeared.. a door! Beatrice walked past Poker to walk through the door.. and she stood on the same pitch-black platform, but everywhere else, it was something else.

An entirely different world lay before her. It was dark like an abyss, yet not a pitch-black void. The purple clouds floated like ethereal wisps, and the stars glimmered like distant jewels in the night, creating a surreal landscape. In the far distance, tiny dots of various colors twinkled like stars she had often seen in the night sky. Her jaw dropped, and her eyes reflected the world before her. There were no words to describe the beauty she beheld.

"Amazing isn't it? That is called space" Poker said

An entity of incomprehensible nature arrived, it was pitch black, but she could tell it had a long cloak, some kind of square mask, a hood- "HEY! YOU AREN'T PAID BY THE HOUR! MAKE BEATRICE PLAY CHESS!" Its voice bombarded her eardrums as it pointed at them with a hand that materialized from its cloak.

Poker did a small bow "Of course"

Beatrice jolted backward a bit, knocking herself back to reality from her awe-shocked state "W-what are you do-" The entity's hand caught Beatrice and slammed her to the chair, and wrapped her legs in purple chains that only allowed her to move her arm and body, but the legs remained tied to the chair legs.

"SIT DOWN AND PLAY BEATRICE." Its voice commanded with a booming volume.

And it went away just as fast as it arrived.

"Beatrice. An elegant and pretty name." Poker said that.

"Hmph! Quiet! Flattery won't get you anywhere I suppose." the flattery didn't have any effect on Beatrice as she grabbed the chains tied to her legs to shackle them off, but they wouldnt budge

Poker looked at her with its same unphased look "Anyways, It seems you and I got no choice. Before we play, do you want to keep the space as background or do you want to have the pitch-black box background we had before."

Beatrice seemingly unaware to his request, struggled to break off the chain as she tried to break free, she raised her hand and aimed at the chains that bound her to the chair "El-Minya!"

...

Nothing came out of her hand, not even a speck of minya or mana.

"El-minya!-"

"-Sorry Beatrice. But any form of magic you have is safely kept in another place. You gonna have it back when you win and get out of here."

Beatrice was about to say something but poker knocked the table "But let's play now, I dont accept any more questions or delays but I have one question, do you want to have the universe as our box or pitch black."

Beatrice still tied to the chair, she sounded like she was grinding her teeth with her voice "Ghrgr Fine! I'll play your stupid chess game i suppose.. and the pitch-black of this room doesn't please me infact! I want space not this."

"very well" The room warped in her desired atmosphere and Poker summoned a box and opened it, there were the chess pieces; the king, the knight, the pawn, etc, and placed them on the chess board is the correct locations of each piece "I assume you know how to play chess?" Poker asked with a tinge of concern.

Beatrice looked offended "Mph, playing chess is child play, dont think such a simple game would challenge me in fact!"

"Very well, will play a thousand rounds and one supplementary round." poker said

"w-what!? A thousand rounds?! That is utterly ridiculous in fact!" Beatrice protested

"Sorry, but it is the minimum. I could have gone for a hundred thousand rounds, with one supplementary round. Im the host here, and you play by my game rules." poker said

"Whoever made that rule had its head cut off before made that limitation I suppose." Beatrice said, But Beatrice knowing she was deprived of all of her magic and couldn't go nowhere, she sighed. "But i suppose ill play by your idiotic rules"

poker nodded, Beatrice just sighed again, sank onto her chair, and focused on the chess board, she had the white pieces, and she made the first move with her pawn. Poker just chuckled and clapped his hands for a second.

.

"Excellent. Then let's play."

he raised his hand and placed forward his black pawn against beatrice.

"I hope you win, Beatrice."

"So, what you gonna do with her?" Starkeeper asked author as it held unconscious Ram between its two icy fingers

Author just disappeared from how fast it was, however, as always, starkeeper was bound to author, so it got dragged at the same speed as author did, they soon reached their destination, planet Earth. "I have a great idea, im going to put this girl on this planet, and im going to watch her having her day in it. However, starkeeper didn't seem as eager as it, as always.

Starkeeper had a thick book opened in one hand, the other hand scrolling through the pages so quickly that it didn't even look like it was reading them, another hand just scratching it's head, until it stopped scrolling "No, it's against the rule to do anything to planet Earth, this rule has zero exception and if an overseer attempts to do anything to planet earth, full degree of punishment is mandatory."

"Ah-what? Why does such a rule exist? It didn't exist before!" Author said as it summoned two additional hands just to put them on its head to convey surprise.

"L-look down your book and see if you read it correctly, no other planet has such special rules." Author said as it pointed its finger at the rulebook, Starkeeper looked down to see the rulebook to see if it missed anything, however, there wasn't anything that it missed about whatever information there was. "No author, there is no exceptio-" but as soon he looked up again, author was attempting to deploy Ram on planet Earth.

Starkeeper now started the disciplinary action- Author got fist-slammed to the floor of space and bounced on it "WOAH-WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT FOR!?" author yelled as Starkeeper now not bound anymore to it, flew down before author "Disciplinary action author."

"Also, as I was saying, The Judgment Day allows you to bypass all those rules, but only on the planet that you performed Judgement Day not that you can do anything you want." Starkeeper said as it unsheathed several hands out of its cloak and tossed the rulebook back into its cloak, Starkeeper had several hands circling it.

one of its hands flew towards author's cloak to grab it, slammed it once, and on the second slam, author grabbed Starkeeper's cloak and they spun together like blackholes colliding. Author punches in the face starkeeper, causing ripples throughout the void of the floor of space, but starkeeper pulls out two fingers and stabs where author's eye position supposedly is, which causes author to yell and cover their face and they spin until they collide to a random star, but not too much of an effect to the two overseers than just being a wall. Author grabbed the star and slammed it on starkeeper's head, now it became starkeeper's headgear blinding it at best.

"Hey! It's me Goku! you both look strong, fight me." Goku said

Starkeeper (still having the star on his head) and Author stopped and both slowly turned towards Goku- An asteroid-sized middle finger punched through Goku with killer energy- and sent all the atoms in his body into breaking the law of physics, which resulted in an explosion then they recompiled every atom of his body and threw him back to where he came from and the two overseers continued to pummel eachother.

However.

The hand holding the unconscious Ram was idle, but since it was tied to Author, it got dragged along as Author tried to escape. As Starkeeper continued its frenzied disciplinary action, Ram was pulled closer from behind, Starkeeper took too wide of a swing in the chaos, accidentally obliterating Author's hand which held Ram.

This sent Ram into oblivion, to a place where no one had ever gone.

Ram is covered in the same effects and aura as author, as she somehow had to survive in the void of space, she was largely or entirely unaffected but unconscious. She rocketed through the void of space, and as she did, she was sprawled and spinning without any direction, her speed was the fastest thing in multiple universes, as she went through galaxies, nebulas, decimated an asteroid by going through it, orbited around a star for a brief second and rocketed somewhere else-

-Beerus was just relaxing on his planet, eating some ramen as he looked at the night sky of his own planet. He saw a shooting star that was pink. "Whis, look, a pink flying star, i dont think i ever seen one. Wish something"

"Oh my lord" Whis said "Lets see.. oh! I got an idea of my wish-"

"Dont tell it to me, otherwise its not gonna come true." Beerus said as he waved his hand to stop Whis. Whis just giggled under his breath

However the pink shooting star dissappeared in a fraction of a second, Beerus was curious why an asteroid was moving so fast, but he was more worried finishing his noodles than flying in space to study a rock.

As beerus continued to taste his delicious ramen noodles, but something catched his attention in the same sky where the pink shooting star passed by.

two beings of incomphrensible nature becoming bigger and bigger, meaning they were approaching alarmingly fas-

Beerus spat out the noodles out of his mouth and pointed at the thing coming at him in the sky with his eyes out of the sockets

"WHIS! IS THAT WHAT YOU WISHED FOR!?"

"W-wha? No my lor-"

-Ram went through a moon creating a hole through it, another planet causing it a hole through it, a star, another star, then went out of the universe. To then get inside another universe, repeating again and again the same journey of disruptor of galaxies, she entered through another star and out from the other side. She travelled more and more through the emptiness of space. even more places, more unexplored areas of the vastness of the multiverse-

She been flying unconsciously for a minute, she past through universes with the aura of author alone, but..

.

There was a star-shaped planet, it's enormous-larger than life planet, it shone of a bright yellow yet heatless, it had a moon and a star orbiting close to it, as Ram rocketed towards it, she slowed down, and the gravity of the planet pulled her in, and Ram started to plummet into the star-shaped planet, she fell onto it on her back, and she started to burn as she entered the atmosphere, yet, it didn't do anything to her, probably authro's coating protected her.

{adadawdadaddadadaaaad}

Ram. She had been in a state of half asleep and half awake, it felt as if she slept three times in a row in the same day, she felt groggy and awful, but she still could feel, the dark creature that captured her, she still could tell it was moving, somewhere, but she didn't know where she wanted to yell out but she couldn't, as if she had no mouth.

But soon, she felt free, she felt... awake?

She found herself on dirt, lying on it, and she raised into a sitting position. Her clothes, the back of her head, and any part of her that was behind her, were now filthy.

However, Ram recovered soon, shaking off any unnecessary feeling of grogginess or discomfort, she was curious yet wary by the unfamiliar landscape infront of her, But the first thing her senses noticed wasn't particulary pleasant, as she sniffed the air and got a whiff of it.. it smelled like pee, she wasnt quite happy to have such unpleasant smell but she focused something more important.

She scooped some of the dirt that latched on her maid dress.. Ram looked at it.. Ever since Ram took a glance at it, she had a hunch, but upon close inspection, it was a kind of dirt she had never seen, nowhere in lugunica or any other nation that she knew of had this kind of dirt. But in seconds she felt something tingling from beneath her, with a startle, she got up in an instant.. There were tiny creatures that looked like worms, Ram took a few steps behind "Ugh.." she muttered as she saw the parasites.

She demanded to know where that thing that knocked her out brought her, she doesn't know what happened after that thing attacked her from behind when she was patrolling the mansion at night while Roswaal-sama, and Emilia-sama, and her sister were urgently called to go to the capital to discuss a matter of maximum alert and importance. but she's here now, so she's gonna find a way back home in this unfamiliar land.

She quickly dusted off the dirt and grass leaves latched to her maid dress, and the little parasites quickly burrowed back into the ground as they felt air. She looked at the ground, she fell somehow and left a print on the dirt where she fell, she looked around, and it became even more unfamiliar, as she did not recognize anything or anywhere that she looked.

There was a side of the continent that was full of trees, another part that was an empty landscape with just grass, somewhere else full of bushes and there were plants that she couldn't recognize, but she hadn't seen any wildlife yet, however, there was one thing, it all looked artificial, it didn't look spontaneous and random like in nature, it looked like somebody put those landscape and trees down as they were all nice and neat.

Ram closed her eyes, and she attempted to use her magic, clairvoyance, As she closed her eyes, she couldn't see anything, it was odd, normally she would immediately seen everything the animal would have seen immediately, but instead of complaining, she started to change wavelength, attempting to tune in with any wildlife there is around her, as the rays of her clairvoyance spread out and tuned in with the environment.

Ram however didn't just attempt to connect and tune with the wildlife, she felt something else too, an apparent lack of magic in her surroundings as she spread the tendrils of her clairvoyance. How in lugunica or anywhere doesn't contain magic, not even a speck, it was all empty, she couldn't feel magic anywhere but herself and her clairvoyance.

A few minutes passed, and she finally started to tune in with the nature around her. As she looked through the eyesight of another being, the color of the vision was white, not red vision like the animals in lugunica, she tried to understand what this creature was looki- It was looking at her from behind, it was far away, and from the height it was looking at herself, she could tell it was looking from an advantage point.

She quickly shut off her clairvoyance and she turned around, she peered at where the animal looking at her was, it was from the nice and neat forest that she was looking at a few minutes ago, yet, as she turned around to face the thing, she couldn't see it, no matter how much she focused, it was too well hidden to being seen. Ram decided it was best to avoid confronting something too unfamiliar, she walked the opposite way while taking some glances behind her, she used her clairvoyance from time to time to see what was going on around her and to foresee any danger incoming. Fortunately, the thing spying on her didn't chase after her or make its presence known.

She walked into the empty grassland, it was all flat, seemingly an excellent place to spot all possible dangers as it was an open field- The ground started to rumble, she looked down upon her, only the place she was standing was cracking up, but everywhere else it was normal. A primal feeling of danger surged through her—an instinct to flee and hide. Fear.

Ram leaped forward, rolling across the grassland just as a long, serpentine being catapulted out of the ground, soared into the sky.

She quickly raised her hand "Ful-.." she hesitated.

her surroundings lacked magic, what if everywhere she went lacked magic, If she used her magic here, how would she replenish it? There was no way to know. it was best to not try her luck, and if she depleted her mana without anywhere to replenish it, she would surely not live long enough to come back home.

and the serpentine being plummeted back underground, concealing itself again.

Ram ran back to where she initially started, and she took a glance behind and she saw the grass cracking, but as soon she stepped on the small patch of dirt it stopped, and it went away. It seems not even an open field like that wasn't any safer than the forest.

She looked at the side of the land full of bushes, she speculated that was also dangerous, as anything could hide in those bushes and attack her legs. And the side of land full of plants she had no idea too, she could see through it just fine, as the plants weren't that big or caused too many shadows, but too many blind corners to traverse safely and she didn't want to use her magic too many times as she feared that she would deplete her magic and have no way of replenishing it.

As she stood there to think, on the safe zone of the small patch of dirt where she landed. But since this small patch of dirt, no one would get to her, she stood there and started planning what to do. She decided to use clairvoyance for the last time to save mana, she must use the best way possible.

She saw for a second the same animal that was looking at her from afar in that forest at an advantage point, she looked through the sight of another tiny animal that was looking at a pair of what she could only recognize as fruits, another animal, another one, two furred humanoid beasts that groomed eachother, and this continued on, until-

She watched through the eyes of a person, a human, this person was apparently on the lookout on top of an advantage point, looking at an extended flat field., the person in question looked to the side and there was a man with a chiseled beard next to him equipped with articulated armor, they talked to each other, she couldn't make out what was their conversation as clairvoyance didn't let her listen.

She saw behind the man with a chiseled beard and there was a flag that she couldn't recognize, it was a tricolor flag starting with blue, then white, and red.

But focusing on something else, those two could be the help she needed in this unfamiliar place. She waited for the person to look at the landscape.. It was an open field full of grass.

She shut off her clairvoyance and looked where the open full of grass was. She looked for anything that could resemble where the two people were, but she couldn't see them with her naked eye, it was an open field.

'Those two are too far away and this field is dangerous, but there might be help.' Ram thought as she looked at the open grass field standing on the small patch of dirt.

But Ram made up her mind, she had a plan that would work.

"So, what is Khan doing right now?" The overlord asked through the walkie-talkie.

He was sitting on his bike, surrounded by knights and the walls were intact and well, he watched from afar as he observed his knights keeping them off the walls and his personal knights surrounding him, soon the walkie-talkie made a sound and The overlord turned his attention to it.

"He is currently retreating to an oversized tree, it seems like there's a beastmen camp over there my lord." A woman from the radio responded back.

"Ah-Ça alors!, those other beastmen that I isekai'd sure bore their fruit" The overlord chuckled while the walkie-talkie stayed quiet.

"So, has Khan perished or he's striving in that mass of zombies?" he asked

"My lord, it seems the first wave of the Judgement Day isn't enough to kill Khan, however, he is struggling." The walkie-talkie informed him

"Well, thank you for informing me." And pressed the button to shut off the communications "Well, what did I expect? Such a simpleton method was far too simple to slay Khan" He said to himself.

'He is, after all, a beastman who managed to survive a thousand years, most beastmen die at 400 years old or so like many other species, most never become old enough to die of old age.' The Overlord thought

but as he was distracted by his own thoughts, one of his personal knights tapped his shoulder repeatedly and quite forcefully- "MY LORD!" his knight yelled at the Overlord

"Uh-ah what?" The overlord asked him, as he leaned back slightly as his knight seemed a bit too agitated for some reason

"LOOOK!" his knight pointed somewhere, the overlord looked where he pointed.

...

..

The overlord sighed "Oh non, you gotta be kidding me." The overlord said in exasperation.

It was a hole in the wall, a big one at that, There was a dark, furred, tall, their eyes positioned by the side of their head, animal-like ears, a big snout.. yeah, a beastman. "Great, now we have to deal with beastmen too. Alright, lots of money will go down the drain for this, i hope that the reward is sufficent when we win the judgement day to financially recover from this." The overlord looked in dismay as he picked up the walkie-talkie and pushed the walkie-talkie

"Hello? Hello?" The overlord said to the walkie-talkie for a response

"Yes, my lord?" The same woman responded through the walkie-talkie

"Send in a flamethrower unit, we need one for a beastman... just to be sure, send three more flamethrower units to my position." The overlord ordered

"..My lord, wouldn't an artillery for beastmen or a heavy ballista suffice for a beastman? Flamethrowers are one of the most expensive weapons to keep up" She asked

"Yes, it's indeed less expensive, but an artillery or heavy ballista for beastmen is unreliable. They are heavy, and bulky, take lots of time to reload, and to ensure it has maximum accuracy, it is suggested to attack from close range. The flame thrower is much more reliable, takes less aim and hits enemies from farther" The overlord explained through the walkie-talkie

"Yes my lord, I shouldn't have questioned your majesty. four flamethrowers are being deployed." The same person said on the radio.

"Well, being thousands of meters in the sky away from me sure gives you the confidence to ask me questions" the overlord chuckled while the woman on the other side just nervously laughed with him.

The overlord clicked the radio to turn it off and looked at the scene before him, the foreign citizens, knowing that this is essentially another world, so they aren't used to fighting beastmen or even know what is it, they reverted back to primitive cavemen tactic.

one distracted while the others flanked from behind.

'Look at them, reverting to cavemen. It would have been an okay tactic for any other animals, unfortunately, beastmen are too smart for that' The overlord thought to himself as the beastman just tore down a part of the house next to it and planted next to itself, causing the flank to be useless, the foreign militia was shocked by the turn of events, thinking they can just stab its heels and run away.

He looked at the skies waiting for the flamethrower unit's drop-pod to land, but they hadn't arrived yet. He continued to look at the scene before him, his own men already knew what to do, one was climbing the walls to get to the torches that were perched on top to make light, and some other of his soldiers attempted to make molotovs or some kind of incendiary weapons.. They didn't need to do that, but it was a good thing that they could think on their own like that.

The overlord glanced over, noticing a few brave but ignorant militia members striking where they thought the beastman's heels would be.. 'Nice job, beastmen don't have heels. Their legs are made like pillars with three claws on each leg to hold up their weight, not walking efficiently.'

He tuned his walkie-walkie "Commander, pull away those militias, they are being a liability by trying to fight something they don't even know what is it. Also, can you deal with it." The overlord ordered.

"Yes my lord, it will be done-MEN! TAKE THE CITIZENS AWAY! MAKE SURE NO ONE GETS THROUGH!" A man responded from the walkie-talkie

"You forgot to turn off your walkie-walkie, also the way you said sounds like an order to abduct them." The overlord said to him

"Oh my lord, sorr-" click. the commander turned off the communication before he even finished apologizing.

Some of his knights who were still preparing molotovs, and the few knights who climbed the wall to get to the torches were down there waiting for the molotovs to be done. However, they heard what the commander ordered but looked at eachother with a bit of confusion, some directly at the commander, but soon enough, the foreign militias were either taken away from the beastman by force or literally threatened to step away from the beastmen with their swords.

This entire time the beastman didn't take a single step forward, but soon, it did, and it revealed he had more of its peers behind, beastmen are social creatures, always moving together and in a group or atleast in a platoon. The overlord kinda expected this, a lone beastman is a dead beastman after all, if there's a beastman, there is usually gonna be his peers somewhere, as it was rare to have a solitary beastman.

"Although.." The ovelord said to himself

[CHECKPOINT 5/5]

The beastmen were taking little baby steps at the time, his knights weren't even bothering fighting the beastmen, thanks to the beastmen's excellent speed, they soon found enough materials to do excellent molotovs, the knight looking at the slowly advancing beastmen, he looked at the torch and lighted the tissue of the molotovs on fire, and threw it on the ground infront of the beastmen, others that had molotovs prepared in time too, threw their molotov to completely block way for the beastmen.

The first beastmen slowly stopped, and the other beastmen behind didn't stop in time and bumped into eachother, one of the beastmen that got shoved fell to its knee almost falling into the fire, fortunately, or unfortunately, the beastmen's hands touching the ground avoided it to touch the fire under its face. This made the men, the overlord's men disappointed as they started booing at the beastmen. Since both sides couldn't kill eachother, one side couldn't walk through the obstacle and the other side had no equipment to kill the other.

The men of the overlord started to form their arms in an L shape and slap their biceps as if they were insulting them, then did a more explicit gesture of sexual intercourse directed to the beastmen, then they started to insult the beastmen in French, more vulgar words and slangs towards the beastmen, and made insulting jokes and speculation of what they do with their daily lives. And they took their bottle and positioned them infront of their crotch, to then squeeze the bottle and the water going into the fire, which enraged the fire even more, apparently it was cooking oil. This made the overlord's knight even happier and cheer more.

The overlord, now his knights being closer to him, along with every knight of this unknown nation, the foreign militia and etc behind stitched together. Fortunately, the personal knights surrounding him allowed him to not get squeezed in the crowd.

However, the overlord was more concerned that it would piss off the beastmen, assuming they know what his men are saying. He should order them to shut up, more pissed off a beastman is, the faster, stronger, and more coordinated it becomes. He clicked his walkie-talkie to tell the command-

One of the dark beastmen puffed its chest and held its breath in for a while, and after a while, it bent down blowing down a mist of visible Carbon dioxide into the fire, causing the fire to burn out and the fire was gone because of the suffocation. The beastmen who did that gestured 'What now?' by keeping the arm idle but its palms briefly turned towards them, and raised its right hand and pulled out the middle finger. 'You are fucked.'

The overlord's knights were still as a rock, in mid-position of their offensive gestures and holding bottles, but with no molotovs prepared.

The beastmen started to quickly take their steps forward, pissed off more than ever, already reaching out and slightly slouched over to reach the floor better.

The overlord's knights jolted as they quickly sidestepped the beastmen's grasp, however, there was little to no space to maneuver, as behind them there was the crowd, and infront there were the beastmen. The beastmen advanced, they couldn't grab the knights, but as they forgot the knights and looked upon the crowd infront of them, they started to charge towards the crowd, and the militia having nowhere else to go, just shoved eachother but futile, as they were grabbed in a bunch in the beastmen's hand, as the beastmen stopped to inspection the militia in hand, it proceeded to open its mouth and-

A gush of wind so fast that it passed through like a blur, red and white was the color of the blur, the few militias in the beastman's hand disappeared, and the beastman stayed still, soon red.. no, blood. dripped out of the throat, and the beastmen fell onto its knee and laid to the side. the other beastmen stopped to see their fallen member, and next to the corpse, there was somebody.

The overlord was already aiming with a sort of shotgun while he sat on his bike, ready to shoot, but didn't as he noticed the beastman was already dead, and looked over to the red-haired man, which he recognized as Reinhard, judging from the description that he read.

It was a person with a large sword, he had a white coat on top of a white trench coat, a well-made cape, red hair, and blue small eyes. And a relatively giant sword that was in his hips but help a normal sword, in his arms there were those few militias that were about to get devoured.

---

"My deepest apologies, I should have intervened earlier."

expressed Reinhard, the esteemed Knight of Knights of Lugunica, in a hushed tone.

Upon rising, he gently extricated himself from the grasp of the militia. They stuttered their gratitude, "T-thank you reinhard!" prior to hastily retreating into the safety of the crowd. Reinhard offered them a warm smile, "I am gratified to see you unharmed," he voiced, even though the militia had already melded into the throng.

His gaze then fell upon the lifeless form beside him. The uncanny resemblance to a known acquaintance, despite its obsidian hue and altered demeanor, stirred a sense of unease within him.

His attention then shifted to the foreign knights, the army of the overlord. He recollected their ignoble actions. It was probable that Julius, Felix, and others had borne witness to the same and shared his sentiments. However, he opted to disregard it temporarily, concentrating instead on the imminent threat.

With a sense of resolve, he ascended and positioned himself at the heart of the conflict, brandishing his sword and directing it towards the beastmen.

"You have infringed upon the sacred grounds of Lugunica, a land we hold dear. By the decree of all knights and my solemn oath, your presence here is not sanctioned."

Reinhard's proclamation echoed amongst the citizens, knights, and denizens of Lugunica, resonating with their collective sentiment.

"I implore you to depart—"

---

"-直ちに、これ以上の違反を犯さないように。これがあなたへの最後の訓戒となります。"

The man with the shiny white coat and red hair, in an authoritative tone, told them. But, they just looked at eachother. Just stunned by the language barrier as they stood there to listen to whatever this man was rambling about.

The overlord's knights also just stood there scratching their heads as they listened to whatever he was saying.

But, the beastman seeing their own peer as a corpse, didn't make them exactly happy, so they charged forward to kill this man and everyone else.

The man with red hair stopped pointing the sword at them and readied the sword at his side. Is he stupid? Does he want to die?

But soon the air whistled, it was like a bomb dropping down, but as it arrived, it landed on the ground hard enough to scatter pieces of the rocky floor everywhere.

The door of the drop-pod normally opened and inside there was a man with long coat that reached the ground, of a burnt red color, and he wore a mask that had tubes that led to contenitors, as he pulled out his equipment, it was a long thing, with tubes attached to the contenitors behind him; It's the flame thrower unit. He looked infront of him, he jolted up as he saw the beastmen and pointed its weaponry at them.

The beastmen were already on the attack, but with the flamethrower spraying on their faces, the beastmen's noses were burned to a crisp, then went all the way to their lungs, to which they all stumbled and opened their mouth to gasp for more air, but nothing, as within minutes they were all on the floor, their fur burning quickly as they made contact with eachother, sharing the fire among themself, with one being burned, the other followed. And they soon all fell on the ground into a mountain of burning fur and scorched corpses.

The flamethrower unit turned around, he was faced with cheering overlord's knights and jumping happily, but the flamethrower unit turned next to him, there was a red-haired man that looked up at him with horror, which made the flamethrower unit slightly uncomfortable, but he shooked off and looked around it seems the crowd composed of relatively small people compared to himself and the overlord's knights weren't cheering and complimenting him, but just staring in horror. Did he do something wrong? He turned around to see the mountain of corpses of beastmen.. He did his job, why they were looking at him like that?

Although he was close enough to his lord, the overlord, he was just impassive as ever, but he probably liked his work, the lord did call him after all, and his personal knight had no reaction too as they were busy keeping space for the overlord among the crowd.

But he felt uncomfortable with all those wide eyes staring at him.

---

From the very beginning, Wilhelm bore witness to the unfolding events. He harbored a modicum of annoyance towards the foreign knights, the subordinates of the overlord, due to their dishonorable and vulgar demeanor. However, he was inclined to disregard this, considering that these individuals had extended their assistance, albeit in a rather forceful manner.

With a sense of trepidation, Wilhelm directed his gaze forward, bracing himself for the dreadful spectacle that awaited his scrutiny.

Despite the fact that they were adversaries, the striking resemblance the giant demi-human bore to an ally, Khan, was undeniable, particularly in terms of silhouette and physical structure. This similarity stirred a sense of disquiet within Wilhelm. The massacre, particularly the horrific act of burning individuals to death, deeply disturbed him. He believed that not even the most malevolent fire magic caster would resort to such a gruesome method of execution.

His disturbance escalated into profound horror as he observed the foreign knights, rather than expressing remorse or at least offering an apology for such a painful demise, reveling and dancing on the remains of the massacre they had just perpetrated.

He merely sighed, closed his eyes, and harbored hopes for the departed demi-humans to find tranquility in the afterlife.

Casting a glance to his side, he noticed Julius, Crusch, and numerous other acquaintances and allies. They were all huddled together, with scarcely any room to maneuver. Setting aside the discomfort of their physical proximity, it appeared that his allies and acquaintances shared his sentiments and were equally disturbed by the events.

Looking ahead, he saw Reinhard, his grandson. He too appeared as disturbed as the rest of them.

It seemed that everyone, with the exception of the foreign knights, shared the same sentiment.

"Such a careless squandering of life… It's no surprise, really. If they can fling people off walls without a second thought, it's clear they don't value the preciousness of life, nya." Felix muttered.

Crusch glanced over to Felix. "Felix, your sentiments resonate with me. However, it's possible that the assistance we required came in the form of those foreign knights." Crusch said.

"But Crusch-sama! Did you see how they're treating us, nya? They don't even care about you, me, or anyone else here, nya. They're just pushing us around without a second thought and even raised their swords against us, nya." Felix countered her arguement.

Then julius interjected in "It is evident from their dishonorable conduct, their vulgarity, and their blatant disregard for us and everyone else, that they do not perceive us as allies. It appears they never did."

Crusch found herself recalling a past encounter, presumably with their leader, a figure of immense authority and power referred to as the Overlord by Khan. When she endeavored to engage with him, his knights barred her approach. Despite this, the fact that he did not issue a command to pacify them is indicative of a disconcerting reality - it appears that even their ruler does not regard us as allies. "You might have a point, Felix."

The others that were forced to eavesdrop on their conversation because they were squeezed so much, they also agreed on their speculation- no, a truth of what is happening.

However, as they were squeezed together, the dark skies filled with clouds disappeared, red portals that the damned get out of also disappeared into themself and the morning of the sun replaced it…

Did we win the judgement day? We won?

---

Wolperionen was jogging towards the tree where Khan had instructed him to go. He was near there when he heard the machine guns. Clearly, they were machine guns, and there, flew the flag of the Kingdom of the Beastmen. They shot pretty much everywhere, since no matter where they would have shot, they would have suffered zero aim reduction. However, they noticed Wolperionen and avoided shooting him. The Beastmen inside this camp were pretty good at keeping the army of Judgement Day far away. As they opened the gate, Wolperionen ran in and slowly stopped.

The other Beastmen approached him, gesturing with their hands.

"Where. you. came." one of the Beastmen gesticulated.

"From the capital of this world," his vocalizer said as he caught his breath.

Another Beastman approached. "You need help, this bolt on chest isn't good." she gesticulated as she looked at the shaft impaled in his chest.

"Yeah, i need help. Do you have medics or any medical stuff?" Wolperionen asked.

They all nodded.

But he stopped for a second to think. He turned around… Khan…

"Everyone, we need to save Khan, Khan godra, the hero of all beastmen. he is out there alone to buy me time, we need to go get him."

The Beastmen looked at each other. Even the machine gunners, who were spraying everywhere, glanced at Wolperionen after hearing that.

But in the end, They all nodded furiously.

{wawawawawawaawawaaawawawawawawa}

Khan fought against a tank, a tank that was from his era, when human technology was at the peak of warfare and destruction. It was a time when he lost the most comrades and peers but gained the most from each victory.

Khan was engaged in a fierce battle with a tower tank, exerting every ounce of his strength. The tank was formidable, standing as tall as Khan himself. Its extensive tracks crushed anything in their path, weighing ten times more than Khan and equipped with superior armor and weaponry.

All Khan could do was to keep its weapons aimed away from him, allowing the lesser foes to attack him from behind. It was less painful than being incinerated by the tank, but his armor was still dripping with blood from the onslaught.

In a desperate attempt, Khan tried to immobilize the tank's weapons with his elbow and crush its head. However, the tank swiftly moved backward to avoid the attack, and Khan, leaning onto it from exhaustion, chased after it.

Ideally, Khan should have shot at it, but he had exhausted all the ammunition for his weapons. Reloading would have led to him being burned to a crisp. Also, unsheathing his sword would have made him a laughing stock against this thing.

Khan tried to break off its weapons, but he lacked the strength and energy. As he latched onto it, two heavy calibers from what he could only describe as the tank's 'chest' fired at Khan's face. He couldn't rest by standing upright as the tank's hull was far forward and its main body was far back. He tried to stand on it, but its constant movement prevented his prosthetic legs from locking in perfectly straight and allowing Khan to rest in a position of rest like the rest of the Beastmen.

The weapons couldn't aim low enough to fire at the ground, but the tank would just move forward to crush him. It was significantly heavier than it appeared, and Khan knew from experience that lying down in its path was unwise because he had lost his legs to it.

Under normal circumstances, this would be a difficult but not impossible opponent. However, Khan had never fought alone before. Now, by himself, he could barely hold his ground.

He started to feel his arms and hands not responding to his commands anymore, they did not obey him. Slowly and steadily, he started to lose his grip on the tank. He fell down on the hull of the tank. The tank tried to get Khan off, it tried to go backward but most of Khan's weight was on the hull, so the feet dragged with him. Then the tank went forward and the legs anchored to the ground, slipping him off.

Khan no longer had that flashlight shining out of his eye.

As the tank turned around to face Khan lying on the ground, it advanced onto Khan. It crushed its legs through both the mechanical armor and the prosthetics, metal, wirings, and bolts exited and catapulted out of the prosthetic legs.

As it continued to crush the legs, it crushed his stomach, causing it to explode to the side with a spurt of guts and blood. The tank started to rotate back and forth to ensure that it was all crushed and pulverized to the ground to ensure no healing spell could recover it.

Meanwhile, Khan remained unresponsive.

Then, the cavalry arrived. It was a hundred Beastmen, all of different colors indicating what natural habitat suits them the most; green, brown, yellow, orange, blue, and light blue. "There is Khan! Shoot that thing!" Wolperionen said out loud. The Beastmen started to shoot at the thing with their crowd control weapons, but it just made dents at best. The tank started to turn around. The Beastmen walked around it, avoiding its direct line of sight while plowing through the soldiers of the judgement day. Then soon enough, from behind, one Beastman climbed on the tank and just hammer fisted it to see what happens. They had no idea how to deal with this thing, but they could do their best to try.

And his fellow Beastmen seemed to now understand its weakness. The Beastmen ganged up on the tower tank. One grabbed its weapon and pulled, using his leg for leverage against the tower tank. Meanwhile each beastmen pulled one of its weapon, another Beastman smashed the arm of the weapon to detach it. Now, it was harmless except for crushing, but the Beastmen just overturned it and swarmed the thing until the shield that protected what they could tell was a head, cracked apart, giving them access to the person controlling it and crushed it's head.

Meanwhile, Wolperionen picked up Khan with much more ease than he normally would have. Half of Khan's guts had been destroyed or detached. Wolperionen held him in his arms and slightly tilted him to prevent too much blood from flowing out. He didnt want to have Khan like this, but it was law, the strongest reigns over the weaker.

"This is not fatal injury for a Beastman, especially for someone who can use magic."

...

However, as they were squeezed together, the dark skies filled with clouds disappeared, red portals that the damned get out of also disappeared into themself and the morning of the sun replaced it…

"I think it's interval time.. 1 hour left before the second wave of the Judgement day starts." Wolperion said to no one in particular.

---

Meanwhile, Author and Starkeeper had been relentlessly battling each other this entire time, their efforts proving futile since neither could die at the hands of the other. But they suddenly stopped.

"Oh… Starkeeper, the first wave of Judgement Day has ended," Author said to Starkeeper.

"I also felt it," Starkeeper responded.

Both of them then began to move at faster-than-light speed as they traversed through universes and stopped. Author peeked into the flat world as if it were an aquarium and he was searching for his favorite fish in it. "Well, I guess it's time to wait."

Author stood in front of the world, with his hands inside his cloak. Starkeeper just hovered next to him, waiting patiently too as it watched the world with Author.

---

End of chapter. See you on the next one. man, this chapter been 10k words longer than expect, because of that khan revisiting his past (And the hundrend long words of notes, i write so much bullshit in notes lmao)

(Some random thing i wrote)

"This army it's not as powerful as they sounded, I honestly thought they would be way stronger than this" Julius said

The authro perked up, as he eavedropped on what he was saying "huh?" the author muttered

"This jugment day that Khan told us its so dangerous isn't that dangerous, those soldiers are very weak" Felix responded back to julius

"You say what?" author looked at the commenter

"whoever this autoah that Khan talks so highly about, it doesnt seem this god to be that much powerful as Khan portrays to be" Julius said to Felix

"Uh-HUH?! THE FUCK DID YOU SAY?" author yelled, yet noone in the world heard him

"If his soldiers are this weak, we might aswell defeat it too." Wilhelm said to julius

"Oh yeah? Want to fuck with me? want to fuck with me? Alright.." author muttered.

[adadadadadadadadadadad]

"Heya wilhelm-san.. um, isn't the land over there.." Felix said nervously looking forward

Wilhelm looked forward too.. The ground was rolling on itself as it was a newspaper rolling up?

Landscape was getting destroyed, the world was roling on itsel-

[ADADADADADADADADADADADA]

author was happily whistling, has its hand rolled the flat world before him with its hands "An excellent newspaper, what do you think?" it asked star keeper.

Starkeeper just clapped his hands sarcastically.

"Yeah yeah, thanks" And as its fully rolled it up, he pulled it to infront of it's face "Now, what about now eh? Not so weak dont you think?"

Author just threw the rolled world behind it, while dusting off it's hands. "Anyways, let's go do something else starkeeper"

Author just hovewered somewhere else and starkeeper got pulled by author.
