In a world filled with harsh conditions, the Demkil Kingdom rose to power as its warriors decided to challenge forces that were not meant to exist in their world. However, when they begin to fear that one of their own could be their biggest threat, Demkil undergoes major changes to prevent a foretold outcome. Yet, rejection will prove to be the incorrect route, as the "Hour of Ragnarök" still seems imminent...

The Midnight Leave: What It Means to Be Human

Rubia Demkil stared at the Head Captain of the Slayers, her blades still positioned at the Demon’s neck like scissors. 


“The King ordered for its capture?!” She asked him in disbelief. “Are we experimenting with Demons now?! Shouldn’t the current state of Swinger’s domain be more than enough evidence as to why that’s a terrible idea?!” 


“The King expected this outcome, though he assumed that Nexus would be the cause. So of course, His Majesty had contingency plans and reserved locations in advance to transfer any withstanding research materials. Remember that the point of these experiments is to better prepare us for the eventual storm that will fall upon Demkil.” 


Waldhart answered so objectively, it seemed as if any further argument would be futile. While the Second Captain clearly still disagreed, she begrudgingly withdrew her blades and returned them to their sheaths, turning away from the Demon. Still, someone else was not satisfied with the conclusion.
