Chapter 103: The Derkormax Continent

Sharon’s POV—

"What do you mean?" asked Jaffer.

I washed my gaze over the entire village and replied, "This village... your clothes are very eye-catching. They are glowing in the sunlight. Hmm... why is that? Even you, Jaffer, why? Your clothes are too good for a beggar. Will you tell the reason? Or, shall I?"

Jaffer took a step back and lowered his head in submission.

I clicked my tongue in annoyance. "Jaffer, you promised me to tell everything, and now? You are going back on your promise. Why? I thought we were friends. Okay, whatever. Just nod your head if I am correct. Your village is doing ’organ trafficking?’ You traffic the organs of those foreigners, right? You sell them and in return, you get tons of money. What a simple ’rich-making’ system! Your villagers must be very proud of this."

Jaffer nodded, "You are... correct."

"Hmmm? You replied? It seems your tongue found its way back in your mouth!" I mocked him mercilessly.

"So, what are you going to do with me?" Jaffer asked in a very small voice. If I he hadn’t been standing near me, then I would have completely missed his words.

I replied, "Just answer some more questions, and you are free. Look, kid... I don’t have much time. Honestly, I am a very busy person. So, your answers should be at least satisfying. I don’t know what do you think about me... and personally, I don’t care. Therefore, let’s wrap it up. Quickly!"

Jaffer’s face brightened with hope. He frantically nodded. It looks like he is eager to answer everything very quickly, just to get rid of me.

"Good. Where am I? I don’t know which place I am currently in. So, help me, would you?" I still don’t know where did the teleportation array land me, and I want to know the degree of my ’brilliance.’ It’s been series of adventures for me to finally land here.

Jaffer looked confused but nevertheless, he answered me. "You are in ’Koerthal Village.’"

"Where is this village located in?"

"In the ’Derkormax Continent.’ You should at least know this," he answered with a bit of hesitation.

Great! No only this kid thinks me as an idiot but also, I am in a whole new continent. One that my novel lacks. Although, my novel is now nothing but a painful memory for me. Now, it’s only role is making me nostalgic. Ah, fuck! It’s even doing bad in this role too!

I cleared my throat and answered, "I am not from this continent."

My continent’s name is ’Quaerlot.’ Wow, I am in a whole new continent, yet I am not feeling anything nice. I am not all a bit excited. There are lot of factors to be considered. Climate, terrain, monsters, people, distance between my continent and this continent... there are a lot of unknown factors.

Shocked, Jaffer yelled, "Another continent?! How is this possible?!" The villagers were also giving me a look of disbelief.

Frowning, I asked, "Why are you so surprised? I told ’another continent,’ didn’t I? You are behaving as if I told you that I am from another world."

"Are you? But... how? No one from the other continent should be able to enter our continent. It’s simply impossible."

I raised my hand and said, "Wait. Before that answer my one question. You told me your village had a temple, right? Can you show me?"

According to my information, gods are no longer worshipped. But this village has a temple. How?

"You want to visit our temple?"

I replied, "Yes. I want to see your temple."

Jaffer looked scared. He stuttered, "N-no... y-you c-can’t."

"And why is that? Why can’t I go into the temple? I am really interested in your culture. You worship there, right? Of course, you worship there. How silly of me! I am really an idiot, ain’t I? Jaffer, look... show me your temple. ’Stopping a devotee from worshipping is an offense to the god himself.’ It’s a very famous line from our continent. Heck, it’s written in our sacred book. You are doing a sin by stopping me!"

"What book?" asked a villager.

With a serious tone, I replied, "We can’t tell its name. It’s prohibited in our religion. I think you should understand my emotion. It’s like a raging fire. My body cells are screaming to worship this wonderful god of yours. So, shall we go?" I looked into Jaffer’s eyes with anticipation.

Jaffer fell on his knees and begged, "P-please... don’t make me take you there. It’s not safe!"

There it is! That’s what I was searching for! "Why are you scared of going there? Aren’t you a devotee of this god? Why would a devotee be sacred of their god?"

A villager walked forward. She said, "You are wrong?"

"Hmmm?"

"We are not trafficking organs."

"Then what are you doing?" I asked her.

She said, "Jaffer is a kid... so we always refrain from telling him about the inner details."

"Can you stop playing around? Just tell me already! Like I have said before, I am a very busy person." Her excuse or I guess, ’reason’ was very pathetic.

"We... we offer them to our god."

"You offer what? Organs?" I asked in disbelief. What type of God takes organs as offerings?

The woman nodded, "Yes, Miss Fighter."

I will ignore this name for now. I have more pressing matters in my hands than this silly nickname. I asked, "Why doesn’t your god take a live human as an offering? Why only organs?"

The woman shook her head and answered, "No, he prohibited us from doing that."

He? So, it’s definitely out of those two gods.

"Why? There must be a reason."

"No. He never said the reason."

I asked, "Did he meet you?" the woman shook her head, "then, how did he comminute with you? There should be a way. It’s not like the message will appear out of nowhere. There must be a messenger or something."

The woman replied, "Yes, there is a messenger. He delivers us his divine orders."

’Divine orders?’ What the fuck is wrong with these people?

"Are you sacred because of this messenger?" I asked her.
