A step to the Right Path

Returning back to my Palace after clearing my mind and hearing about King Beelzebub, I decided to research more about his character and learn more about history.

Back in the real world, I read Telltale Chronicles and studied it like a religion, and I have yet to hear of this guy until now. He must be a secret character that Akemi is planning on introducing in the future, so I had to be careful about how I approached him.

"Hmm, this looks interesting."

Sitting in my office, I had a stack of books beside me while I flipped through one, managing to come across a picture of King Beelzebub; it had everything I needed to know about him, especially his moral values.

"King Beelzebub, a man who despises humans and their wickedness."

Sheesh, there's a lot of racism in this world.

"He created the Kingdom of Gehenna to unite the demonkind and rebel against the Holy Order of Arcana to ensure his people's survival. It's because of him and the other Demon Kings, that their race is still striving. Without the help of these Great Demon Kings, the demonkind would've been wiped off the face of the Earth, without hope of rebuilding their population."

I cringed at what I read before huffing a deep sigh.

"Goodness grief, humanity is just screwed up wherever you go, huh?"

Lazily placing my palm underneath my chin, I continued reading.

"The Holy Order of Arcana sought the demise of the demonkind for their craving of destruction. Demons cannot live without destroying, plaguing, and conquering lands. They were born to oppress mankind's moral values."

Ah, now I see why they're at constant war, it all makes sense now. Mankind has a different worldview compared to demonkind; in man's worldview, helping other people, showing kindness, and having empathy were the right things to do, but in a demon's worldview, showing violence, destruction, and hatred was morally good in their eyes.

It's obvious which side I'm leaning towards, since I'm human and all. Maybe I could change the ways of the demons in Brawnheart City and make them more "human" and not so barbaric as the other demons in this world. But then again, that's a lot of work.

"Huuuggh…" I deeply sighed. "No wonder why they were gonna sacrifice me to their previous Goddess, Alistoria, it all makes sense now. These guys thought that they were doing the right thing."

Demon culture is seriously screwed up.

"This is gonna take a lot of convincing… but since I'm their goddess, maybe I could pull it off with a little bit of planning." Leaning back into my chair, I stared at the ceiling above me. "What would you do in this situation, Mom? This is too much for me to handle… I just wanna go home."

Everything felt so overwhelming.

I'm too busy trying to save this world since my moral compass is taking control of my actions to naturally help other people.

My Father always taught me to have a good heart and do what is right, but only if I have the power to make a difference, and needless to say; I definitely have the power to make a change in this world.

[Sage] was more powerful than I thought.

I mean, who would expect to get a power that can copy other gifts across the universe?! That was insane! And here I was, trying to use it to make the world a better place.

That was the entire point of Brawnheart City; to unite humans and demons together, and maybe even dragons if it got to that point! But I still missed my home.

I missed my mother and her cooking, and I missed my comfy bed and my friends on Discord.

I miss everything - but now it was all gone, and I was left with no choice but to adapt and overcome.

But maybe, just maybe after I'm done with this world, I could be able to see my mother again and give her a hug before venting my problems out loud. She was the only person who could understand me and not many children were lucky to have parents like that.

"It looks like I have no choice but to meet with King Beelzebub and discuss trading. How else am I gonna build Brawnheart City?"
