Chapter 27: A new Era

Monkey awoke as the sun was setting. He didn’t want to get up, he didn’t want to do anything today. He felt so empty.

Ever since he left home, it’s just been one problem after another. He knew it wouldn’t be easy, hunting the Black Beast. But he never expected this.

People getting kidnapped from their own kingdoms, Children being murdered and to make it all worst, a cult now existed. One that wanted to destroy everything.

“No, not destroy, they wanted to reset everything.”

He rolled onto his back, looking at his hands.

Was being a demi-human that bad? He never really thought of it. He never knew of any other life except this, yet, according to her, this shouldn’t have happened. The gods... made a mistake?

He held his right hand open, focus as fire dance on top of his palm. It slowly rose up like a spiral. Stretching out as if reaching for the heavens. The fire then spread, taking the shape of a lotus flower.
