Luckily my esophagus willing to cooperate. I can swallow meat little by little. The more meat that entered my stomach, the more shining the golden tree on the back of my left hand. I'd love to put more meat in at once, but I can't. Even though my mouth and throat are capable of swallowing meat, my stomach still needs time to digest heavy food.I stopped eating for a while and only drank to give Rex's stomach a chance to work. I don't want Rex to have a stomach ache because I will be the one in pain."Are you all right?" asked Mora who suddenly appeared in front of my tent door."Oh, Mora. I'm fine, just trying to recover quickly," I replied."Can I come in?" she asked."Of course," I replied.Mora came into the room and immediately sat down opposite me.“I see that it looks like you are trying hard, but it will hurt your body that just woke up from the coma. You have to give him time,” Mora told me.I took a deep breath.“I don't have time. I can't waste any more time," I replied."I
'Ares, I didn't expect Rais Musi to be here, but his nephew isn't. Did you notice?’ asked Rex suddenly.I just remembered that Aran is nowhere to be seen. Even though he must have grown into an adult since seven years had passed, I should be able to recognize him. However, as far as the eye could see there was neither Aran nor his father. There are two possibilities, they die, or they come with the palace. But if they were with the group defending the capital, how could Rais be here?"I'll find out," I said.I ate even more and every time The Golden Tree's power was replenished, I immediately used it to replenish my weak muscles. The more I do it, the better I feel. In a few moments, I was able to stand up and I could walk my feet without assistance. I will recover to prime condition in no time.A few moments later, I managed to finish all of this beast meat down and I started to feel my body getting better. I tried running on the spot. At first, I struggled, but after trying for a wh
"Yeah, really damn it," said Nola.“Thanks for telling me about this, Nola,” I replied.“Rex, you must understand that once we open the dome, the palace will already be preparing to attack,” said Nola while widening her eyes.“I understand,” I replied.“Their attacks just got bigger and bigger until they almost knocked down all of our defenses. You can imagine what happened when they opened the dome. How many will be the victims? We won't be able to survive,” she said again, as if to convince me not to agree to that.I nodded.“Nola, I am just one person. I'll give my opinion on this, but I can't guarantee the end result," I said.“They must be listening to you, Rex. I know that,” said Nola with great confidence, breaking my words just now.I'm a little surprised because Nola is so sure that my opinion will be heard the most. The weight of the tons was back on my shoulders. I can only nod and agree with whatever she says and hope she leaves here soon.“I risked everything and joined t
"What do you want to talk about?" I asked him. I want to sound less defensive, but I can't seem to pull it off. I sounded like I was accusing Rais Musi of something evil, I could see from his expression. Though, I was just asking. Okay, fine, I do suspect him, but I don't mean to show it.“I just want to talk, General. No other. I don't even have any weapons with me," he replied.I looked him up and down. Indeed, there was nothing that looked dangerous about him now. He had no weapons, no pouch, or anything else. He only wears what is attached to him.'Just listen to what he has to say,' Rex told me."Okay. Let's go now," I replied.I then walked with Rais Musi into the Tribe I knew as the flaming tribe totem, but some things had changed.“We have now changed our name to New Flame Totem Tribe, because we are no longer the same. Khores gave the name," Rais said without me asking.I nodded because in my heart I was still very wary of Rais. He also seemed to realize that, so he led me to
"Come on, Rais. Regarding my father, I think that's enough. But don't expect me to forgive you for what happened to Noe. He died because of you," I replied. My words were probably very sharp and it made Rais take a deep breath and slightly lowered his head. I don't feel guilty because Rais made Noe die just because of his blind hatred for Rex. Rex agreed to my words inside my head.“I'm sorry for that too,” he replied in a low voice.I'm speechless. I don't want to say that I have forgiven him or anything like that. So I can only stay silent and stare at him.“I have to go to a meeting. Are you going too?” I asked him.“I am not one of the invited leaders. You go," he told me.I got up and left him just like that. I quickly walked to the meeting place. They held their meetings in a common area close to the battlements and the outermost dome. There was an area like a large hall that could accommodate many people at once.When I arrived, there were a lot of people already gathered insid
Everyone fell silent hearing my screams. They all stared at me and I suddenly felt I had done something stupid. I can't possibly answer if someone asks if I know the solution.‘You have to come up with something,’ Rex said to me.He never helped in matters like this. He should at least come up with an idea. Oh, forget it! The idea isn't any good."So what do you suggest, General Hito?" asked Toth Karan who had been arguing with the person next to him.I gulped. Everyone was looking at me and I had to say something before I looked stupid.“If we open the dome, it is not certain that we will find a food source. What if our food sources are out of reach? We're just going to kill ourselves," I finally said.“We already know that, General Hito. Do you have any ideas for a solution?” asked one of the white-haired men I didn't know.'Send some scouts out of the dome. Surely some people can go outside without having to open the dome, right?' Rex gave an idea. I guess the idea wasn't so bad th
I don't understand what I did wrong to Nola so she really looks angry and looks away like that."What did I do wrong?" I asked Rex while walking.'Who knows? But aren't women like that?’ asked Rex.I shrugged but I thought Rex had a point. Women are unpredictable and no matter how often I get close to women, I don't understand them at all. So, I didn't think about that anymore and walked towards my camp. I took time to go into the kitchen and get some food to eat in the tent. It feels like my stomach feels hungry too often after I wake up from a coma. I mean Rex's belly.'Seven years of not eating we have to make up for it by eating continuously,' Rex commented in my mind.I sat staring at my food. I decided to take a few sips first while thinking. It seems that people have forgotten a little about the existence of The Red God seven years ago. People are no longer shunning me and keeping their distance like before."Do you think The Red God will show up again and mess things up?" I as
I was surprised to see Queen Anea's appearance which was very different compared to usual. She was wearing very beautiful clothes but showing off her body more than usual. I think she had something on her skin that made it glisten in the lantern light. Her hair fell beautifully under her glittering crown. Her face looks much prettier than usual.‘What the—’Rex also saw what I saw."Your Majesty the Queen, I am ready for the ritual," I said."Oh no, you're not ready," she said."Eh?"Suddenly coming from all directions, the beauties of The Moon Worshipper tribe who were all dressed quite short today. They all wore clothes similar to their queen, but in a simpler fashion. They wore very miniskirts and a kind of short tank top that exposed their slender, muscular bellies."Wait, what are you guys going to do?" I asked the beautiful women.“Preparing you for the ritual, General,” replied one of the beauties.“Prepare him,” said Queen Anea.One of the women held my hand and led me away to
