Nameless King

Gisle put aside the large cup of coffee and looked up at the ceiling, and said, "How tired I am. Just when I thought I was beginning to understand the situation, suddenly, an ancient beast appeared that worshiped its master like a god. I urgently need someone to do all the work for me..."

"Huh, isn't Elsa helping you? But, you're right, the situation is extraordinary, but it's to our advantage, isn't it?"

"If Elsa weren't helping me, I would have died a long time ago, but I feel like soon I'll be 80% coffee instead of water. Teres... that snake, it's good that we got such a strong protector. That's what we need most right now, but that doesn't cancel our plans. We must make friends with the other races."

"Yes, but you must understand that it is impossible to make absolutely all vampires or demons our friends. We can only count on some clans or families to support us."

"That will be more than enough. Now we don't have to worry about fighting beasts and dark lands. Instead of war, we got an unshakable shield. What could be better?"

Gisle understood how lucky they were to be in this situation. Their world was destroyed, but they have been protected on all sides thanks to their fortunate location. A giant waterfall protected them from behind, and dark lands like a fan in front.

This gave people an opportunity to develop not only in terms of strength but also as a society. They needed to develop their infrastructure because there were many important aspects besides strength in this world.

Strength was everyone's goal to achieve other personal goals, but you had to use different ways to achieve strength. Trade, alliances, development, wars, everything was useful.

"Since I have accomplished the mission, I am going to disappear again for a while. I'm going to need Forgotten's help. Where is he?"

"Sure, no problem. He should be in the woods now, behind the main base. I'm sure you'll find him pretty quickly. Now that we've solved all the issues, I should get back to work. Maybe I can get some rest at some point."

"I wouldn't get my hopes up for that if I were you."

"Damn, you sure know how to be supportive."

...

Wain wanted to raise the rank of the zone, but before he did, he had to do something important, give up the medallion.

"Eva, I thought you were supposed to do some tasks." Wain said, approaching the girl.

"Ah, I've already done everything. I didn't expect you to be back so early." Eva muttered and walked over to Wain and kissed him on the cheek.

'Damn, it's pretty unusual for a man to bite a piece of flesh off you and act so timid.' Wain thought, and the Ring of Damned glowed.

He handed to Eva the locket and said, "Don't you want to braid two pigtails like in these pictures?"

Eva was embarrassed and said quietly, "I can't...my hair isn't long enough for that."

Eva's hair was long in the pictures in the locket, reaching to her waist. Now her hair barely reached her shoulders.

She took the locket and murmured, "Thank you...this thing is very precious to me."

"No problem. By the way, I picked up something else."

"А?"

Wain pulled an old cookbook out from under his cloak that had hundreds of notes left by Eva.

"What?! Where did you get that?!" Eva blushed and snatched the book from Wain's hands.

"Hahaha, I just wanted you to make me something. Although I guess you'll have to revise your recipes in the current situation, the old ingredients are gone, and there are new ones."

Wain did not intend to offend Eva in any way. He decided that a thing in which much time and feeling had been invested should not go to waste. The book was to return to its rightful owner.

"Well... I'll be sure to cook something..." Eva whispered, holding the book to her chest.

She was embarrassed but glad that Wain had brought the book with him beside the locket.

At any moment, something could happen that would shake the whole world, and so Eva tried to keep as many things valuable to her as possible and not lose the important people.

"What are you doing?"

Wain and Eva turned around and saw Maria walking in their direction, but now she looked more like a zombie. There were large bags under her eyes, her skin was pale, and her eyes were blank.

"Maria... What happened to you? Has some monster poisoned you? I'll get Isabella right away. She'll cure you instantly!" Eva rose to her feet and was about to get help.

"Wait." Maria stopped her, "A monster actually attacked me, and that monster's name is Gisle... Damn, when I said I was willing to help and do anything for it, I didn't think that days later I would regret saying that."

"By the way, I realized I haven't seen you in the last few days. Have you been on assignments all this time?"

"Yes. By completing an assignment, I was getting a new one. Gisle certainly wasn't going to spare me. Though judging by his look, his mental state is even worse than mine. Okay, I'm going to go get some rest. Good night." Maria said, walking in the bright sunshine.

"Well... I wouldn't want to be under Gisle's control. When it comes to organization and emergencies, he spares no one, including himself." Wain muttered.

"But, that's the right tactic. Without his decisions, a lot of people would be in trouble."

"Huh, that's true."

Before leaving for Void, Wain decided to rest and spend time with Eva. They talked a lot, and Eva brought up the subject of the past again.

She wanted to know more about Wain, but their conversation broke off when he said he was an orphan and how he had had to survive as a child in the slums.
