"To find out what happened next, please tune in to the next episode!"
Smack!
The wood struck the table.
No one knew why the Undead would do such a thing, but the Beastmen who had gathered around to listen to the story were already addicted, finding every action fascinating.
And the instant the wood hit the table, the feeling of longing, as if hooked and pulled upwards, tugged at the greedy worms within their bellies.
They wanted to continue listening!
It all started today.
Initially, when the Undead said he would tell a story from his homeland, the Beastmen scoffed, for while they indeed loved hero tales, they had no interest in those of human heroes.
But when the Beastmen heard the tale of "a Monkey Beastman who exploded out of a rock," everything changed.
Involuntarily turning into an audience, they were curious about the experiences of that Monkey Beastman, and when they learned he sought great power, they felt a strong sense of identification.
