Chapter 1: The Inhuman Human

The world of Galaxia is a large one, similar to Earth, but with castles and villages rather than just cities. However in the country of Gamesh, the kingdom of Shinshu was far from a pleasant one. In the kingdom, the king had one philosophy: "Only humans should rule. And all inhuman monsters shall leave, obey, or die". And as such, he asked his mages to throw out all monsters. He had no apathy for them, but laughed at their struggle and anger. Years pass, and the law was still the same. The inhumans were cast out of the kingdom and into the wild. However, one young mage boy stood against the king's order. He was a prodigy, able to use no incantations or staff. He went to fight the king and bring an end to his tyranny.

"How dare you!? Monsters have the right to live with humans! You have no right to take that right away!!" He yelled furiously as he kept fighting through a barrier spell. But he unfortunately got cheap shotted in the back, and was drained of all power he had left. The king looked at him, completely bored.

"I've no use for this coward. Look at him, that armor looks like a woman's dress, and he clearly has no respect. You are hereby banished, and will die in the outlands. Be rid of this trash." The king said, and the boy was teleported outside the castle and into the wild with no magic power left to protect himself. All he did was lay there on the ground, not willing to get up at all, and he started to cry at his own weakness. He screamed out, not caring who or what heard him, and eventually passed out from exhaustion. An hour later, he felt himself being moved, but by what? He then heard multiple voices.

"A human?! Grey, why would you bring a human into our abode? He could be a spy for those greedy humans." One voice said seeming furious.

"But father, he's different, I know he is. He was crying and looked beat up. And his hair was all dirty. He looked like he was hurt." A younger voice said. The mage was just waiting and wondering if he was about to be killed. But miraculously he was healed and opened his eyes to see a family of orcs in a stone cave.

"Y-you're…orcs. You're a lot taller than I imagined. And dress like warriors." He said, but the larger orc didn't pay him any mind.

"State your name boy. And tell us why you were outside the kingdom."

The boy started talking.

"My name is Benni Kel. I'm an astromancer mage and I was exiled for going against the king. My mom said that inhuman…I mean, Mystic beings, weren't a terrible thing. They were beautiful and didn't harm anyone without reason. I wanted to live alongside you, as an equal. I'm sure you don't believe me..but it's the truth. So whatever you do to me, I deserve it for being weak enough to be in this mess." Benni lowered his head, his eyes flowing with tears. The orc father's expression changed and wiped Benni's eyes.

"My apologies. It's been so long since a decent human has ever been genuinely kind towards us. In truth, we had cast a truth spell. And what it shows is that you are a kind young lad. Please, stay with us. I am Krol. This is my son, Jinu. And my wife, Croosha. It's not a typical household, but it's comfortable enough. Make yourself comfortable, I'll fix your armor better than before." Krol said as he held Benni's armor, which was scratched and dented. Jinu rubbed his hands through Benni's pink hair, blushing as he did so, and slowly caressed his face.

"For a human male..you're very pretty." Jinu said softly, making Benni hide his face behind his mask, which only covered the bottom half of his face. Jinu looked at him with his purple eyes, and hugged him softly. "I promise to help protect you new friend." he said a bit excitedly as Benni hugged him back, noting how soft Jinu's skin was, and how chubby he was for someone that was also 4'6. Krol sneaked a glance at them and smirked a bit as he was remaking the armor, and Croosha looked at her husband to make sure he wasn't being too obvious.
