Chapter 37: Chapter 35: Call from Above
Somewhere at nighttime, in a dark jungle where only darkness prevails, a large pig-man with a humanoid body is running at high speed through the jungle. He is breathing heavily, sweat dripping down his face, but he pushes himself to run as fast as he can...

"So, what are your powers, Miss Lunara?" Bokkon asked while looking at her.
Bokkon, Aurthor, Yooto, Lunara, and I were inside the church. I was sitting on the top couch silently, closing my eyes.
The others were sitting on the couches below, eating fruit and drinking juice.
Lunara gazed at Bokkon with her black eyes and replied,
"Hmmm, let me see...
I am completely immune to any physical attack and dark or curse magic. I can summon a Shadow Army to fight for me. I can use Void Magic and After I received a name from Master, I gained a huge mana pool and some magic like Telepathy and Dark Fire and even if someone kills me, as long as my master is alive, I can revive as many times as I want."
Everyone looked at her in surprise, their mouths open in shock.
"And you were also saying something about the Shadow World..." Yooto asked while filling her glass with apple juice.
She took a sip and replied,
"Well, I don't know where that place is, but it is where all Shadow Born stay, get stronger, and wait to be summoned by their master."
"Hmmm, even you don't know where that is, huh..." Aurthor said in a curious voice.
"Yeah, we just get summoned directly from that place, so I have no idea about it," she said with a huff.
But from behind, I spoke in a small, soft voice.
"It's inside me..."
They all looked at me with confused expressions.
"Pardon...?" Bokkon said.
"That place is inside me," I replied straight.
"Ehhhhhhh!!!!!" All four of them screamed in shock.
"Master! Is it inside your stomach or something?!" Lunara said as she came near me and put her head on my stomach.
"Let me listen if it's there or not," she said, but I made a fist and punched her head.
"Owwwwww!" she screamed and fell back, holding her head.
"It's not inside my body," I said.
"It's inside my existence..." I added, and all of them looked at me with serious faces.
"When I stole the power of Void and Darkness from Geazol, I absorbed the entire Shadow World dimension inside me and acquired a skill called 'Shadow Command.' At first, I thought it was for commanding shadows, but no... it was to command the entire Shadow World," I explained.
All of their eyes widened in shock.
"I can open a portal to the Shadow World, but I think it would be a bad idea to go there because that place is meant only for Shadow Born, not for other creatures," I said.
"I see... that's the case..." Aurthor said while looking at me in shock.
Lunara suddenly got a big smile on her face, jumped on me, and wrapped herself around me. She rubbed her head on my chest and said,
"My master is so strong~! I would have had sex with you if you were a boy~!"
I raised my hand and punched her in the gut, sending her flying and crashing into the church wall.
Aurthor, Bokkon, and Yooto looked at her with weird expressions.
Then, suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
"Let me see," Bokkon said and went to open it.
"Gearor?" Bokkon said in a confused voice.
Everyone looked towards the door, including me, and then Gearor spoke.
"Hello, everyone. I see you guys are having a fun time here."
"Who is this ugly guy?" Lunara said while looking at him.
Gearor was shocked by her words and asked,
"Ugly... are you talking about m-me..?"
Lunara simply nodded her head, and Gearor fell to his knees, crying.
"How can a beautiful woman like you call me ugly?! Noooo!"
"Cut the act," Aurthor said in a serious voice.
Gearor quickly stood up and said,
"Oh, Prince Aurthor! I was just, you know, acting."
Aurthor looked at him and, in a cocky voice, replied,
"Oh, should I also act like I'm kicking you out of your job?"
"Huhh!!" Gearor gasped. "That's so cruel!!!" he exclaimed.
Yooto chuckled from the side, covering his mouth with his hand.
"So... why are you here, Gearor?" I asked in a small voice.
Gearor looked at me and said,
"Lady Sumi... there is something..."
I looked at him silently.
"Do you remember when I told you that the Supreme Rulers were calling you to meet them in person?"
I slightly nodded my head and replied, "Yes."
"Well, they want you to go there and meet them in two days," Gearor replied.
Aurthor and Bokkon stood there in shock.
"What... after two days?!" Aurthor asked.
Gearor nodded and, with a huff, said,
"They think I am Lady Sumi's personal messenger, so they are giving the notices and orders to me, and I have to deliver them to her," he sighed and shook his head.
"Don't you want to be one?" I smiled and asked in a small voice.
He looked at me, and a small smile formed on his face as he bowed his head and replied,
"It would be an honor."
I stood up and stepped down.
"Lunara," I spoke.
"Yes, Master," she replied instantly.
"From today, you will be in charge of training Bokkon and the others," I said.
As I said that, Bokkon, Aurthor, and Yooto looked at me in shock.
"Ohh~ sure~! I'll make sure they become strong~!" she said, then slowly turned to look at them.
"We're done for..." Yooto said.
Bokkon and Aurthor nodded their heads with forced smiles.
(Well, let's see... who these Supreme Rulers are...) I thought to myself.
