"What did I say, Your Majesty?" I asked curiously.I feel like I want to punch him in the face if he doesn't answer my question. Toth Karan sighed and finally he was about to answer too.“You said that you could awaken the Shadow Diamond Totem,” he said.When he said that, suddenly I could remember everything that happened. Everything was spinning like a movie before my eyes. I could see as I screamed while covering my ears. After that, I fell onto the table very hard. A second later my body straightened and my eyes lit up. I've never shone like that. This was not the golden light from the power of the golden tree. The light was practically so gray, like the light of a lantern in a horror movie that was a little green. I, I mean Rex, look like a zombie.'I will rise again and we will return to the glory days of the Shadow Tribe!' I shouted.More precisely, it was the cry of someone who took control of Rex's body. I want to scold whoever it is. He thought Rex's body was a kind of hotel
Toth Karan looked at me with a look that I couldn't easily interpret after hearing my question and now I regret what I just said. It seems my question has offended him."Why do you ask that?" he asked me.I gulped. However, no matter how scared I was, it was abysmal. I decided to be brave.'You're crazy, Ares,' commented Rex. I wanted to snap at him to be quiet, but I held myself back. Rex was a scared little boy who couldn't take risks, and I didn't want to hear what he had to say.“I want to know the truth before I do something really big like awakening a sacred totem,” I replied.I didn't expect the words that came out of my mouth to sound so intimidating and overconfident. It's all very contrary to how I feel. Secretly I swallowed hard, but my eyes remained sharp looking at Toth Karan.“We are facing extinction, Rex Hito. We just want to survive,” he replied.I was still staring at him, trying to determine if what he was saying was the truth.“Look at what we are facing right now,
It's useless to pretend I'm still sick because I already look so fresh and everyone will notice that. Toth Karan was also looking at me with passionate eyes though his expression remained deadpan. I can guess what was on his mind. Of course, he wants me to awaken the shadow diamond totem now. I can't dodge anymore.“Rex Hito, the healers have done their best to restore your health. You look much better already."“Ah, of course. Thank you, Your Majesty," I replied."Are you ready to awaken the Shadow Diamond Totem?" he asked.“At least let me eat something first. I need energy,” I said trying to buy time."Didn't you just finish a large bowl of our finest beast meat?" he asked, pointing at the table.'Stupid,' commented annoying Rex.“I-I… need more food,” I answered with a smile.“Oh, I see,” said Toth Karan.Toth Karan immediately clapped his hands twice and suddenly there were people who I assumed were from the logistics team running around bringing me various kinds of food and they
I was surprised to hear the hissing voice answering abruptly.‘What is it?’ Rex asked.Rex couldn't hear the hissing sound, but he could tell what was going on. I didn't answer Rex's question, because I had to focus on listening to the hissing sound.“Shadow Diamond Totem, is that you?” I asked.“Yes, Rex Hito…” he said.I didn't expect I could communicate this easily with the totem. If so, maybe my job will be much easier."So, how do I revive you?" I asked.This a question that sounds silly, but in my opinion the most reasonable. Fortunately, Rex chose to remain silent. Sometimes this kid knows when to be quiet and that makes me a little relieved.“Use all your strength…” he whispered in his terrible voice.“The whole thing? I could die!” I shouted."So?" he asked.Over time I became annoyed with this annoying totem."You think I'd die just to revive you?" I asked.“It was a worthy sacrifice, Rex Hito…” he replied.“What? Do you think I want to do that? In your dreams!” I shouted.I
“Y-you… You are the Shadow Diamond Totem?” I stammered.I can't believe what I see. Am I hallucinating? How could what I see be a totem? She is clearly a very beautiful woman. And to the best of my knowledge, I mean Rex's knowledge, there is no totem like this. All totems are objects, stones, or something like that."Of course. What do you think I am?” she asked.So I have resurrected a totem that turns out to be really alive and almost dead from running out of energy. Then the totem resurrected me with a kiss? This is something completely unexpected. After all, Rex was a child. He shouldn't accept a kiss like that from a grown woman. It feels so wrong. Wait… wait… I haven't heard Rex since earlier. What happened to him?“You are looking for your little friend?” he asked as if she could read my mind.“Y-you… Where are you going?” I asked.I need to know where Rex is and what to do. It's Rex's body and I don't want to get rid of its original owner. The woman laughed. This laugh should
Everyone in the tribe was silent as statues for a moment. Then as the black smoke cleared, everyone seemed to come back to life after turning into statues. I don't know what happened, but they seem to be more expressive now.“You can now hunt during the day without fear. Use another totem to deal with the bloody marks at night because I'm going to rest. Go now!” she exclaimed.All members of the tribe shouted with joy. They would actually be free from hunger and would probably win against multiple beasts at once during the day without dying while hunting. I am happy to see their happy faces. I feel like this is the first time I'm genuinely happy.Without realizing it, she was looking at me with her beautiful eyes. I swallow hard at it.“When the sun goes down, come here,” she told me.I didn't answer and she didn't seem to be waiting for my answer. The woman quickly reentered the dome and closed the entrance. From the outside, I could see black smoke swirling inside, but I had no idea
I stepped toward the dome. While walking, I looked to the right and left. Everyone in this tribe who didn't join the hunt was truly a weakling. Small children playing around, old people who could only sit or lie down, and some teenagers who had not yet been awakened. The kitchen section is occupied by women who have not been awakened in their entire lives.They watched as I walked and I tried to look away. Maybe they're wondering why I'm going to the dome alone in the middle of the night like this. However, I ignored their curious faces because I had to get to Shady's dome before she got angry.I hastened my steps and arrived at the dome. When I arrived the door was already open."Hello?" I asked as I stepped inside.Since the door was open, I think she did tell me to come straight in. However, when I stepped inside, I was so surprised because the room inside the big dome had completely changed. The last time I was here there was only a barren wasteland. Now inside it has turned into
I can't stop kissing those soft lips and my hands started to touch her slim waist. I realized that the dress she was wearing was open at the back and I could feel the soft skin on her back. I don't even care about the power of the golden tree flowing out of my body anymore because it's too intoxicating. Maybe it's because she's too pretty, or maybe it's because I haven't channeled my desires in a long time. After what my damn ex-girlfriend did, I've never done it with anyone again.Shady didn't resist when my hands started playing around her body. However, a second later, she released her lips from mine. I was surprised that she suddenly stopped, but her mischievous look made it clear to me that she wanted more than just fondling.Shady stepped back and I understood that she wanted to take me to her sparkling bed. I smiled crookedly and followed her steps towards it. With passion, I slam Shady's body rather roughly onto her soft, fur-covered bed, just like any other bed in this tribe.
