THE INVITATION

"hey, Cronos wake up It's time for milk," a voice said as Cronos slowly open his eyes from the sudden wake-up call.

He tries to rub his eyes with his little hands but fails to do so. He then looks at his surroundings to find himself in a small bed with many other babies of his age.

He also sees the same demon women who had slept near him at night. Seeing the boy wake up marina goes close to him and gently lifts him in her arms. Cronos stared at her not knowing what she is doing. " ohh, look at the curiosity in your eyes " marina giggled as she found the curious gaze of Cronos funny.

Seeing her laughing another voice came " what happen marina, did Cronos pee"

He then look in the direction of the voice to find another demon woman.

He then look at the surroundings to find three more demon women and they all were feeding the babies in this stone-caved room.

" no, quin he is just starting at everything that he sees which is funny for a small child like him. " marina said as she then start breastfeeding him. At first, he refuse to drink but after a few minutes of nagging from her and also his hunger, he gave up and drank the milk.

" how it feels to suck, Cronos haha " Jarvis said in a joking manner. Cronos ignored him while drinking he thinks " so is this some kind of baby room? I can see many babies here or is this some kind of orphanage? What do you think Jarvis what is this place ".

" It's very hard to tell Cronos but one thing is confirmed and that this is not the orphanage, " Jarvis said.

" that makes no sense Jarvis, then are you telling me that all the babies here are of one single family? " Cronos asked.

" no, Cronos they all are of different families infact when I search the area I didn't find any small baby outside of this room. They all are here taken care of by these ladies and one doctor who they called ayur " Jarvis said.

" you know Jarvis, you are not at all making any sense, " Cronos said as he find it extremely difficult to comprehend what is going on.

After a few minutes when he finished his little meal marina then gently wiped his mouth and place him inside his basket then she said " okay Cronos, sleep well " she then gently gave him a forehead kiss and went to the nearby baby bed to pick up another baby and start feeding him.

" brothers and sisters? And why would I sleep when I just woke up from a long night's sleep any idea Jarvis why she said that " Cronos think.

" it is Cronos, they all belong to the pure demon race and you belong to a pseudo-demon race called heras. As pure demon race babies required a lot of sleep as their bodies change themselves with the force of the world.

They grow more strongly than the average race and the most important thing is they only require one month to become a toddler" Jarvis said.

" that is not fast that is supper fast, a normal human baby takes 1year to develop This race is advanced but how come I became a part of this race, and is my development is same or inferior," Cronos asked the obvious but he wants to conform with Jarvis.

" I don't know Cronos how you became part of this race even though there is no one from your hera race here. that we have to find after we grow up and your development is same to this race as you indirectly belong to this race but the only things that is same are growth and no other capabilities like the skill that every demon child have there racial skill [ the herculean strength ]. On the other hand, heras tribe has no racial skills" Jarvis said.

" weird ohh, and Jarvis did all this information you get from that voice if yes then what more she tell you? Common I want to know all it's pretty boring just to lie here and I am sure they will not gonna allow me to do something else " Cronos said.

" hehe, you will be surprised Cronos this world is so much different from our world. I do get the information from the voice but she only gives basic information that each being in this world known" Jarvis said as he then start telling him about the world, its culture, its races, its history, and many more.

As Jarvis finished the tale Cronos became awed and sad too." wow, all this year we used to think that we are the most advanced race in the universe but look at the reality we are the frog living under the well but this world is also far more dangerous than our world" he then looks at the demon babies and the demon women who were feeding them.

" they suffered a lot, what could be the reason that they got treated like that " Cronos said as then heard the voice of Jarvis again.

" Are you feeling sad for them Cronos?" Jarvis asked the obvious. Cronos has the same life that this demon race had

A slave with no freedom the only difference between them and him is that he failed to gain freedom and they got the freedom but now fighting with the world to protect that freedom.

" I would lie Jarvis if I said I don't feel sad. Sigh this world is truly magical Jarvis let's explore it when we get the time and also let's fight to protect it and the freedom " Cronos said for the first time in his life a bright smile appeared on his face which goes unnoticed by everyone.

" she was right about you Cronos, I will do my best till the time I am with you " Jarvis mumbled in a very low voice which Cronos didn't pay attention to.

" your majesty, may I come in " a voice call from outside of the cave room. Currently, ravan is sitting on the bed with ayur who is removing the bandages from his body. They were in the katur cave in the king's room as ayur had told ravan to sleep there as it would be easy for him to tend to his wounds.

" yes," ravan said as he said two female demons entered with black clothes and some jewels in their hands. Ravan look at the clothes and asked " hmm, I will we're the normal ones. You can bring the normal ones ".

" no can majesty, sir James had called you to visit his town and it will be a formal visit of one lord to another. So you have to were these formal clothes as it represents the image of the lands and people under their lords " baali suddenly appears at the side of ravan and said.

" yes, majesty sir baali is right you are going on a formal visit and it would not look good if you just visit there in your normal clothes " ayur said as he had done with all the bandages.

Ravan look at his body to find all the wounds healed up and he also felt no pain for which he thanked ayur after that, he look at baali. The look make baali uncomfortable as he lower his head and then asked " is there any mistake done by me, your majesty ".

" Haha, no baali just curious from where do you know all this information, about equities and manners? Because your personality is way far from these manners " ravan asked as a chuckle escaped from the two demon women and ayur who is trying his hard to not burst into laughter.

Baali look at them to which they turn their head around he then looks at his majesty who is still curiously looking at him. He was about to say when a loud voice interject them " shevi I am not gonna were those things it's feel so congested.i feel hot in those dress".

" you have to sir hades, you are accompanying his majesty, and also as a general, you have to wear this. Even his majesty will wear clothes like this "she voice too sounded.

" Why are they fighting like a child " baali embarrassingly said " okay you all go, I will change into that. We will leave in one hour okay, " ravan said as he smile.

" as you wish your majesty " they all bow and leave. Ravan then looks at the clothes and sighs as he remembers his talk with James in the morning.

" sir ravan, I would like you to visit my tribe which we called our kingdom. It's an official visit and as a lord of the shero tribe I would love to invite you there " James said smiling.

" It's would be great honor sir James but why do you want to continue your meeting there and not here," ravan asked.

" still not fully trusting me sir ravan. Sighs don't worry I will not harm you or have any wrong intention. I just want to invite you because of two reasons the one is that I want to show you something and the other one is again a secret business " James said as he bid farewell to everyone and walk out with his subordinate.

"he is weird," ravan said as he then looks at the screen floating in front of his eyes.

" that is a low reward just 100 AP" ravan said as he then looks at the new task. One thing he knew now was that this system generates the task according to the situation so he didn't stress himself on the information of the key because he knew that sooner or later he is going to encounter it.

So he then looks at his full status one final time before closing it and wearing his formal clothes
