Evelyn has seen mages, elves, dragons, giants, and goblins in this other world, but not demons. Demons are a collective term for all the foul and unclean demons of the Abyss that grow in the Old Realm, cut off from all time and space, and are the offspring of the Old Gods. Thousands of years ago, the Old Gods were overthrown by the New Gods and banished to the Old Realm, and it is the New God system that the off-world continent Evelyn is on believes in.
Simply put, the Old Realm is a giant prison set up by the New Gods, and all creatures that rebel against the New Gods are exiled to the Old Realm, where all creatures are collectively known as Demons and believe in the Old Gods, who were also exiled to the Old Realm. For thousands of years, only one archmage managed to enter the Old Realm and return, writing a series of books that combined his personal experiences as a reference for the study of demons. However, most people considered his books to be whimsical fantasy novels, because the experience of "I'm a weak magician, but I'm being pursued by a beautiful chimera, what should I do?" is too ridiculous! And no one has ever seen a demon with their own eyes. Therefore, in this other world, demons are some kind of fantasy creatures that have never appeared and only exist in religious myths and legends that have been handed down for a long time. Of course, there are people who believe in the existence of demons, and when something like a missing person or a god recluse happens, most of them will blame it on demons. Evelyn kept her eyes open and read all the reports about demons, and at the same time a little doubt arose in her mind: how would a demon take a human captive? Soon, Evelyn knew the answer. "Lord of all living things, Father of all things, Guardian of humanity, Judge of virtue ......" "Merciful, generous, compassionate, fair and just, doing Your will as if honoring Your virtues, praising Your benevolence from generation to generation ......" "......%&$#&#)&......#@! @#......" Inside the sanctuary, just halfway through the prayer, a series of strange utterances came from the High Priest's lips, sometimes shrill and sometimes low, a sound that was definitely not humanly possible, and Evelyn saw the knot in his throat roll up and down, and two tumor-like things bulging wildly on either side of his neck. Evelyn, who was closest to him, bore the brunt of it, her mind buzzing, her consciousness slipping away, her eyes filled with the magnificent light reflected from the stained glass windows, and she stood on the floor as if she were standing on an ever-flowing tidal wave. Her legs were weak and drained, and she tried to let the tide beneath her feet hold her up and send her away, but someone helped her anyway - a pair of hands reached out to her, squeezing her shoulders, gripping her arms, wrapping around her calves. Evelyn was dizzy, and it was as if a hundred and a thousand and a million tiny fireworks exploded and exploded and exploded in her vision, and in a trance her soul spun and separated from her physical body and floated above her head, and in the spinning she saw the misery in the sanctuary - the worshippers who'd come to pray went berserk at the sound, beating each other, tearing each other apart until they were transformed from living persons into corpses. She felt no fear at all, and even felt a confused joy, ah, joy- She was lifted up by countless hands and placed on a pile of corpses. Twenty-seven hearts and other organs were arranged in a circle around her, and if Evelyn was still conscious, she should have known that they belonged to those who had disappeared. But for the moment, Evelyn was in a trance-like daze, staring up at the ceiling of the sanctuary, which was painted with God's messengers. The messengers waved at her, trying to summon her and her soul. "¥%*()&##$@......" The voice continued. A black swamp appeared below the pile of corpses, and both the corpses and Evelyn lying on top of them slowly sank into the swamp, sinking deeper and deeper. At the last moment of being submerged in the black swamp, Evelyn still blurredly reached out her hand to hold those white-winged messengers of God... * Evelyn finally awoke from her slumber, her eyes snapping open, sitting up and gasping for air. When she reacted, she was no longer in the sanctuary of the temple, but in an empty, palace-like hall-like place. Below her was a black magical formation, each pattern aligned with her body. Evelyn looked around in confusion and realized that someone was standing right next to her.It is not correct to say that it is a "human being" ....... Although the slender body of the other party is covered by a long black robe, and his face is also covered by a hood, a goat-like right horn is exposed outside the hood, and there is also a silver ring attached to it.
The other hand reached out as if to pull her up from the ground. The entire palm was on the narrow side, along with the five fingers, and the black nails were hooked, more like animal claws than fingers. His skin was white, paper white, with a black line on the back of each finger, the black lines intertwining on the back of the hand to form a pattern like an eye, then spreading upward until it disappeared under the robes that covered the arm. Seeing Evelyn's delayed reaction, the other party said in the common language of the continent with a strange pronunciation, "I am afraid, Queen. Evelyn, who had just been scared, found his pronunciation quite funny, "...... Thank you, that's much better. Other person:"?" "What kind of place is this? Why are you calling me Queen?" Evelyn asked as she raised her hands, carefully avoiding the other party's black hooked sharp claws, and gently closed both hands around his palms. As soon as they touched, Evelyn felt that the other's white skin was not soft, but like a hard layer of white steel, cold and hard. "And who are you?" Evelyn held his hand and opened her glassy eyes. Curious, she asked, "Since you call me Queen, are you also my King?"But Evelyn had never met him. What's more, she had never been married. Even though the other man's features and eyes were hidden under a draped black hood, Evelyn always felt that his eyes were stealthily falling on her. The other man lowered his head and seemed to be watching Evelyn's hands, which were clasped with his. Just as Evelyn noticed that his skin had a different hardness than normal humans, he also felt the softness of Evelyn's hands. Ordinary, normal human hands with skin that could be blown off, fingers that were soft and slender, and no sharp, sharp claws. For some reason, Evelyn suddenly felt like a puppy that had put its paws on its master's hands ...... With a brief contact, Evelyn knew that the strangely dressed man in front of her was not human. The other man was watching her with the eyes of a scrutinizing alien, trying to determine how high or low the two of them were in the food chain. When he had observed enough, Evelyn heard the other man say, "I
Next, Evelyn learned some brief information about the Old Empire from Baymont. The Old Empire is an endless land with no boundaries, stretching out in all directions, with the capital city where the Demon King resides as the center, and all kinds of demons grow in it, and when they reach a certain limit, they become the "Abyss," where the signs of creatures are extinguished, and where no demons have ever set foot, or where there is no way to return. Therefore, no one knows exactly how big the Old Realm is. At the same time, the "isolation" of the Old Realm is one-sided for all of space and time, so it is not impossible for other realms to come to the Old Realm, but it is impossible to leave the Old Realm after arriving. In addition, it is also true that demons can force people through "consciousness projection" and then take them away. Here, only strong and high-ranking demons can do this, so breeding humans and taking them for fun is something only the strong can do. "No wo
The second time Evelyn saw Baymont, she lay dying in her bed, her eyes open, staring impassively at the red moon above her head. The moon stared at her coldly, like a blood-filled eyeball. Since there was no alternation of day and night in the Old Realm, Evelyn had no idea how much time had passed, and could only roughly estimate that she had been stuck in this place for three or four days, based on her weakened physical condition. Yes, since the last time Baymont had ritually closed the ten-meter-high, unknown-ton, soundproof door on his way out. Evelyn hasn't been able to leave the compound since. Baymont learns why: "......" Baymont: "It was poorly thought out." He looks at the off-white stone door, which he can open with a gentle push, and can't help but think: ...... Are all humans such fragile creatures that they can't survive without thoughtful care? "Ah, is it my visions," Evelyn folded her hands on her flat stomach, looking as if she were lying flat on her bac
After the incident when Evelyn couldn't push the door of her room and was trapped inside, resulting in near starvation, Baymont seems to have a greater awareness of human tenderness. He arranges for Vanessa to become Evelyn's consort, lest she die of some strange and trivial matter before the succession ceremony. Vanessa is the demoness with the poisonous snake on her head, sort of like Medusa, and even though she cuts off her arm, it doesn't take long for her body, which Evelyn finds extraordinarily sexy and powerful, to be as good as new. Having company should have been a good thing; after all, Evelyn was full of doubts and curiosity about demons and the Old Realm, and there were some things she couldn't ask Baymont directly or indirectly, Evelyn could only plan to get words out of the demoness who hadn't moved an inch. However, Evelyn realizes that she doesn't understand the demon's language at all, and Vanessa doesn't know anything about the common language of humans. Ev
It wasn't long - Evelyn wasn't sure how long, but it certainly wasn't ten months, and it was terribly short - before Vanessa "gave birth" to a child. A baby. Evelyn's feelings were subtle and mixed. ...... She just became a mother? Uh, no, Vanessa had the baby, so she's the father? Evelyn stared at the "little monster" in front of her and fell into a wonderful contemplation. Although it's not good to use "little monster" to describe a newborn child, Evelyn couldn't find any other way to describe it than "little monster". ...... The "little monster" had a big head that was as long as its body, a thin, shriveled torso, limbs that were as shriveled as reptile arms and legs, and a small, bare tail ...... although it looked a bit like an extra tailbone. Vanessa ate her hair, hoping to have a child with the same light blonde hair, but it didn't work out as she had hoped. "There were only a few strands of dry hair growing sparsely on the little monster's big, even bloated head, a
There were a total of three moons in the Old Empire. When Evelyn first came here, there was only a single red moon in the sky, but now it has been replaced by a cold blue moon. Baymont once said that when the red, blue, and purple moons rise together in the sky, the inheritance ceremony should begin. As part of the inheritance, Evelyn was of course protected, or rather guarded, without the consent of Consul Baymont, she could not leave the great palace, most of the time Baymont gave her the advice that it was best to limit the scope of activities within this room. Evelyn had been able to devote her time and attention to Xavier, but when Xavier was disposed of - probably eaten by Vanessa - she was forced to leave the room. Vanessa ate him, Evelyn wasn't sure, but when Xavier was disposed of - maybe by Vanessa, Evelyn wasn't sure - she went back to her old life, studying the language of demons. With ordinary textbooks no longer sufficient for her needs, Evelyn politely asked B
At the time, Evelyn was busy dealing with a messenger sent by her family. In fact, Evelyn's identity in this world is not that of a commoner living in a frontier town, but rather the daughter of an earl's family, sent to a small frontier town far from the hustle and bustle of the imperial capital after the death of her nominal father, who was unpopular with her mother. Evelyn's mother is a woman so obsessed with power and desire that gold, not blood, runs through her veins. She disliked Evelyn because she would never listen to her and would never sleep with a noble lord - from the time Evelyn was five years old, the woman calculated what she could get in exchange for her daughter's body. As Evelyn grew older and more beautiful, the Countess, who had traveled around the imperial capital, seemed to remember that she had an older daughter, and she looked at Evelyn as if she were a fortune. At that time, almost everyone thought that Evelyn would ride in a luxurious carriage and
Sagon was Irzey's youngest son. Baymont had mentioned him once, albeit in a few words, but it had given Evelyn a general impression of the youngest son - he must have taken a detour when he met him. Evelyn had also asked Vanessa about the Demon King's sons, and when it had come to the three older brothers, Vanessa had looked normal, even respectful, and it was only when Sagon had been mentioned that Vanessa had shown a look of awe and disgust, and after only a few words she had closed her mouth and refused to talk about it any further. And now Evelyn had finally met the Sagon she had always been curious about. To be honest, the other party had a pretty, easy to love face, maybe because of his young age, he still had some baby fat on his face, and when he smiled, a small pear swirl showed on his left cheek, which seemed to make people feel close to him easily. But those turquoise eyes were as cold as a crawling viper. The huge contrast created a feeling of incompatibility
