Chapter 52



Chapter 52: Elbon

The world of Elbon is divided into 5 continents: Adula, Caprio, Doravon, Nytrer and Setlan. The continents varied in size and population, but each continent had a dominant race, as well as its own history and civilizations. The continents were constantly at war with each other, with Adula and Nytrer constantly invading the other continents.

Adula was known as the sacred continent and the only race was humans. All other races had been expelled, exterminated or enslaved. The continent was divided into two great nations that occupied the north and south. The sacred Empire of Caria occupied the North, while the South was occupied by the sorcerer Empire of Makima.

Both countries had a strong alliance with each other despite having very different cultures. The Caria empire preached about human supremacy and they were the founders of the church of Eishin. The Makima empire, on the other hand, taught about the incessant search for knowledge and the study of magic, being the founders of the order of magic. Together, they formed a united front that constantly launched attacks against the Setlan continent and the races they considered inferior.

The continent Setlan was ruled by the Fae alliance, formed by several races, with the elves at the center. Originally, they were several small clans, but they banded together and formed an alliance to face human encroachments. Elves, dark elves, fairies, spirits, dwarves, and various species of beast-people.

The continents together were shaped like a u, with each continent occupying one half and with the entire north separated by the ocean. Battles between them took place mainly at sea, or land invasions from the Makima empire, which lay at the lower end of the u.

Nytrer was the dark continent, ruled by the undead. It is not known how many species of undead there are, but what they did know was that all the undead served a single identity, the death lord. A black fog covered the entire continent like a dome, so there was not much information. The one thing that was widely known is that anyone who tried to get in never came back.

They constantly attacked the Adula continent, more specifically, the Sacred empire of Caria. It is said that the only reason the Fae alliance is able to defend against the Adula continent is because of them.

.....

Doravon was the continent of the demihuman races, the descendants of the extinct giants. Trolls, Ogres, orcs, goblins and minotaurs were some of the species that lived on this continent. They were warrior races, who constantly warred with each other. Among all the continents, they were the least technologically developed, but they were exceptional warriors. They were divided into hundreds of different clans, but recently, a king had appeared, unifying several tribes.

They worshiped strength and their leaders were chosen from sacred duels.

And finally, the continent Caprio was a mixture of several species. Humans, Elves, demihumans, beast people and undead all lived on this continent and fought for supremacy. There were 3 human countries 1 elven country, 1 beast people country, 1 undead country and 2 demihuman countries.

Caprio Continent, country of Mirkor, near the border with the demi-human empire.

An alpha gray wolf and his brethren were fast asleep after their successful hunt during the day. Thanks to the alpha’s commands and the wolves’ coordination, they’d hunted a rock bear this morning and gotten enough food to feed the entire pack. The weather was cold and most of the prey hid to sleep, so it was a blessing they got so much food.

His pack had occupied the cave created by the rock bear and he was sleeping in the deepest part. As alpha, it was his duty to make sure the entire pack had food. He was sleeping comfortably with his females around him when his ears twitched, catching a loud sound coming from somewhere. He decided to ignore it at first, thinking it was just his brothers fighting over food, but the howling and barking quickly escalated, alerting the entire pack.

He awoke immediately, prepared for combat. The alpha began to run quickly towards the exit, pushing those who were too slow out of the way. When he reached the exit... there was no more exit. In its place, a black mud wall was erected, blocking the way.

His brothers tried to dig a way out, but their paws squeaked as they came into contact with the black mud and they backed away whimpering. Suddenly, small holes appeared in the ceiling and a black mist began to pour in, quickly spreading through the cave.

Sensing a putrid smell coming from the fog and a sense of danger, they backed away slowly, while barking at the black fog, not knowing what to do. The alpha reinforced his body with mana before jumping into the holes and forcibly opening a path, but as soon as he came into contact with the fog, his body began to weaken, so he quickly retreated. With no choice, he ordered his brothers to retreat deeper into the cave, keeping the females further away.

They quickly found themselves cornered at the end of the tunnel. The males huddled on top of the females in an attempt to protect them with their own bodies. The mist hit them, searing their skin as they howled in pain. The fog first scorched his skin, then rotted his eyes, blinding them. Then they entered through their snouts, preventing them from breathing.

The alpha watched his brothers die one by one, unable to do anything. The alpha circulated mana through his body to protect himself, but that only prolonged his suffering. He fell to the ground without strength, feeling his consciousness slip away. In your last seconds of life. he saw the fog disappear and a black skeleton in a cloak appear through it.

But that was it. He didn’t even have the strength to growl, and just died. His consciousness faded, his senses faded, and the alpha felt like he was dreaming. He felt angry momentarily, but his mind was simple and incapable of deep thought, so he quickly forgot about it.

In the midst of that darkness, as his mind wandered, the alpha felt as if a black chain came out of somewhere and chained his mind, dragging him out of the dream, his consciousness quickly returning to his body. The black chain coiled tightly around his mind, limiting his thoughts.

The alpha immediately stood up, feeling lighter, and looked around. A black skeleton was in front of him, his hand stretched out on his chest. Normally he would have freaked out and tried to bite his hand out of reflex, but the black chain tightened and he was unable to move.

The alpha panicked internally and tried to get up and attack the black skeleton, boost his body with mana or bark for help, but the only order his body obeyed was to get up. The black chain tightened every time he tried to do something harmful to the skeleton. Sensing this instinctively, the alpha understood one thing. his body was no longer his.

“You know, I liked dogs when I was a kid, but my parents never let me have one. Try rolling.” The black skeleton spoke to him and the body of alpha promptly complied. He didn’t understand what the black skeleton was talking about, but he understood its intentions. The alpha tried to resist, but the chain tightened again and his body shifted against his will and began to roll from side to side.

Not only were their movements restricted, but he could also control their body on their own. To add insult to injury, every time the chain tightened, the alpha felt what little control he had over his own body slip away and his consciousness waver. The black current not only kept him from resisting, it also slowly corroded his mind.

“Good boy, good boy. I’m glad I was able to successfully turn you into an undead. Let’s turn the other wolves too, so you’ll have company even after you die.” The skeleton spoke, releasing a black wave with a wave of its hand towards the wolves huddled at the end of the tunnel.

The alpha watched in horror as his brothers mutated into black wolf skeletons and realized that he too had become a skeleton.

He began to shake involuntarily and decided to stop resisting, fearing for his very existence.
