Chapter 39: Sorin The New City Lord

Misorn is no longer a human city. It is a city of monsters.

Sorin quickly becomes its de facto ruler. She organizes supplies, designates districts for different species, and ensures that the monsters—many of whom are not used to living in such close quarters—do not turn on each other. The stronger tribes help build defenses, while the smaller ones contribute in whatever ways they can.

Despite the chaotic nature of its inhabitants, the city of Misorn begins to thrive under Sorin's leadership.

Some of the tribes migrate, bringing their customs, crafts, and even strange forms of magic. Roads are cleared, homes repaired, and walls fortified. What was once a ruined human city now becomes something new—something entirely monstrous.

But with progress comes responsibility.

Sorin slumps in her chair, staring at the thick ledger in front of her. With a sigh, she flips it open and runs a gloved hand over the first page.
