The Demon Nation | North Continent

Invitation to the World Leader's Gathering?

The Demon Nation isn't always in the best position amongst all the nations of the world, well, except for the Axuuhh Continent at least.

Because of their race, as a Demon, they are treated horribly, churches declaring their race as God's enemies, other races discriminating them for their unfair magic capabilities, and the monsters always targeting them as well because their condensed auras are far more powerful than any race, and they're drawn to them.

One of the things that get them discriminated against is their almost perfect humanoid form, they just have horns and different colors and they have a different cornea color, sometimes Red, rarely Black, and most have Violet.

Humans are the most discriminated race in the outside world because they are the reason why God became evil.

Though that's a full story in it of itself and it was a story 500 years ago.

Humans that escape the dome of the Axuuhh Continent are either killed, abused, enslaved, and many more horrid things done to them.

Though this story is not about the humans, not right now, at least.

It is about the Demons that despite their higher capabilities amongst other races, they are still as discriminated against as the humans.

But now that they have been living in peace for almost a hundred years, the discrimination has dimmed down.

Living peacefully also benefited the Demon Nation, as their Nation prosper quicker in peace and steady development than their previous methods, which are Conquer and War.

Because of this development in their Nation, they are eligible to be invited to a World-Scale event.

A Messenger from the NEU entered the throne, with a message,

YOUR MAJESTY, WE RECEIVED A MAIL FROM THE NATION OF EXISTENCE UNITE.

Queen Saiki was surprised by his message, thinking as she asks herself,

THE NATION OF EXISTENCE UNITE? IS THAT THE UNITED NATIONS OF EXISTENCE'S SECOND PHASE?

She then asks her secretary who was behind the Messenger, asking him,

SECRETARY, WHO IS THIS DEMON? WHY IS A DEMON PART OF THE GROUP THAT WE TOOK DOWN?

The Secretary replied, answering,

HE IS RECRUITED IN THE NEU, YOUR MAJESTY, THEY ARE THE SECOND GENERATION OF THE UNE AFTER THEY VIOLATED A WORLD LAW OF NOT USING THEIR ARMIES UNLESS IT IS AGAINST A WORLD-LEVEL THREAT, THEY HAVE A MESSAGE FOR US.

Queen Saiki thought,

I KNOW I MOVED HIM TO THE SECRETARY POSITION BECAUSE HE WAS MY ASSISTANT AND HE KNOWS MY WORK WELL MORE THAN BEFORE, BUT LET US HEAR THIS MESSAGE FIRST BECAUSE I WILL HEAR HIS MESSAGE FIRST BEFORE SENDING HIM TO THE KING.

She then told him, asking for the message,

TELL ME THE MESSAGE, ALSO, WHO IS THE NEW LEADER NOW? SEEING AS YOU BOTHERED TO GO HERE TO SEND US A MESSAGE YOURSELF, AND YOU ARE A DEMON, I BELIEVED THAT WE ARE NOT EXCLUDED IN THE NATION OF EXISTENCE NOW, ARE WE?

The Messenger then took out a scroll from his storage ring, he then unrolled the scroll and read it.

The Messenger read, though before that,

YOU ARE RIGHT, AFTER THE DEMON NATION IS AT PEACE FOR A HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS, WITHOUT CONFLICTS, AND NO WARS INITIATED, THE NEU IMMEDIATELY ADDED THE DEMON NATION IN THE NATION OF EXISTENCE AFTER YOU TOOK DOWN THE UNE.

Queen Saiki thought, reacting to that announcement he said,

IT HAS BEEN SO LONG, WITH SIR AZEED'S HELP, AND KING SATANIO'S SACRIFICE, WE ARE ABLE TO BE PART OF THIS WORLD'S RESPECT, I CANNOT BELIEVE IT, LET US NOT BE TOO EMOTIONAL ABOUT IT, LET US HEAR WHAT THE MESSAGE OF THE NEW NEU, THEY SHOULD HAVE JUST USED THAT INSTEAD.

The Messenger then continued reading the scroll,

THE DEMON NATION IS INVITED TO A WORLD-SCALE EVENT, ONE BIGGER THAN ANY EVENT THAT WAS HELD BEFORE, THE WORLD LEADER'S GATHERING, THE DEMON NATION BEFOREHAND HAVE TO PREPARE, HENCE THE EARLY INVITATION, BECAUSE THIS NATION IS NEW, YOU NEED TO FOLLOW THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE EVENT, MOST OF THE INVITED HAS ALREADY MET THEM A FEW YEARS AGO NOW.

The Queen thought, asking herself,

WELL, GOOD FOR THEM AT LEAST, I WONDER IF THESE REQUIREMENTS ARE A LOT OR LESS? I WOULD PREFER THE LATTER, BUT I AM BETTING IT IS THE FIRST.

The Messenger took out some items in his storage ring, file documents, they were the requirements, and they were thick file documents.

Queen Saiki thought, responding to the file documents he took out,

OKAY, THAT IS A LOT MORE THAN I ANTICIPATED.

The Messenger said after, he gave the files to the Secretary,

THESE ARE THE REQUIREMENTS, WE DID THE ANALYSIS OF YOUR NATION AND THAT IS OUR SOURCE FOR THIS, THOUGH IF SOME OF THE INFO STATED HERE IS WRONG, AND YOU HAVE ALREADY MET SOME OF THE REQUIREMENTS, JUST CROSS OUT THE SMALL BOX NEXT TO THE REQUIREMENTS.

The secretary then took the files after he gave them to him.

Queen Saiki then said,

WE WILL BE SURE TO MEET THESE REQUIREMENTS, THOUGH WE ARE NOT THE TYPE TO GO TO EVENTS LIKE THIS, THERE ARE TIMES SOME OF THE NATIONS WE ARE AT PEACE WITH INVITES US, SOMETIMES WE DECLINE THEM AND RARELY ACCEPTS THEM.

The Messenger responded,

I AM GLAD TO HEAR THAT, YOUR MAJESTY, THOUGH THIS EVENT IS MANDATORY, BUT DO NOT WORRY, THIS EVENT IS THE ONLY MANDATORY, EVERYTHING THAT OUR LEADER, SIR HISHION, HAS CHANGED, HE WANTED TO SWAY AWAY FROM THE PREVIOUS LEADER'S METHODS.

Hishion is an Elder Savant, a being that has powerful magic powers, with a crystal head and metallic string limbs, it can cast magic as strong and as potent as an Elder Witch.

He was elected as the new leader of the Nation of Existence Unite after he saw Vermilion and Azeed in the Inkor Continent after the battle against the UNE ended, it is his hometown.

Announcing their fall, they rose another, just to keep the World's nation intact.

Though, that is another story for another day.

Queen Saiki thought,

I AM GLAD THAT THEY CHANGED, I AM EAGER TO KNOW THIS SIR HISHION, I GUESS IT IS A VALID REASON TO ATTEND IT NOW.

She asks him after,

ARE YOU BORN HERE, MESSENGER?

The Messenger responded, answering,

I AM, YOUR MAJESTY, BUT I DID NOT HAVE THE BEST LIFE HERE, THAT IS WHY I LEFT THE DEMONS I WAS UNDER, RODE A SHIP THAT SENDS SUPPLIES TO THE INKOR CONTINENT TO HAVE A NEW LIFE THERE, I AM LUCKY THAT KIND PEOPLE TOOK ME IN AND TREATED ME NICER THAN THE DEMONS HERE, GRANTED THEY WOULD GIVE ME A DIFFICULT TASKS AND JOBS, BUT I PERSEVERE BECAUSE I AM INSPIRED BY THE PEOPLE THAT TOOK ME IN, THAT IS WHAT MOLDED ME TODAY.

Queen Saiki was amazed, but somewhat furious because there are still Demons that have the audacity to do audacious things.

Queen Saiki then told him, asking him,

WHAT IS YOUR NAME?

He then answered,

I AM WEDRAK, A DEMON OF THE OUTER RING, A DETERRED DEMON.

Queen Saiki thought to his answer,

THAT IS TO BE EXPECTED, THERE ARE STILL OUTLAWS HIDING IN THE CROWDS THERE, I HAVE INCREASED THE RESTRICTIONS THERE, BUT IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO SAVE THE POOR DEMONS THAT ARE GETTING ABUSED THERE, I SAW THOSE NUMBERS BACK WHEN I WAS A SECRETARY, WE WERE LIVING THERE BEFORE, WE WERE JUST TALENTED ENOUGH TO GET IN THE CENTER.

She and her sister, Xherava, lived with many poor demons, despite their talent, there's nothing they can do for the other poor demons that aren't as talented as them, that's why she swore to give them all a better life once she got in the Center of the Demon Nation.

That was the first thing she suggested to the King when she became a secretary when the King is asking for suggestions.

It got better than before she was in the outer ring, but it hasn't gotten as better as the middle ring.

Queen Saiki then told him,

WEDRAK, IF YOU DECIDE TO VISIT HERE AGAIN, EITHER AS A TOURIST OR AS A VACATION, INFORM ME IMMEDIATELY, I WANT TO GIVE YOU A BETTER ACCOMMODATION THAN YOUR PAST LIFE HERE.

Wedrak then responded,

YES, YOUR MAJESTY, I WILL BE SURE TO DO THAT, THANK YOU.

After a few minutes, Wedrak left the throne room.

The Secretary said after he left,

THAT DEMON IS A TROOPER.

Queen Saiki responded, sympathizing,

THAT IS TO BE EXPECTED, HE WENT THROUGH THAT SHTHOLE, HAVE TO SCURRY HARDSHIP ON HIS OWN, BATTLE DIFFICULT FIGHTS, AND HIM BECOMING THE MESSENGER OF THE NEU, I WILL NOT FORCE HIM TO RETURN HOME, I WANT HIM TO DO HIS BEST OUT THERE, I HAVE NOT BEEN IN THAT KIND OF GROUP BEFORE, BUT I KNOW LIFE IS HARD.

They then went to the meeting room right next to the throne room to read the requirements of the NEU for the World Leader's Gathering.

Queen Saiki then called the other Authorities telepathically to have them in the meeting.

After a few minutes, the others arrived, the Commanders, the Council, and the Officers in the Castle, like the Secretary, librarian, and others more.

But... when they read the requirements of the NEU's event...

The 1st Commander, Surgon, has his first complaints about it,

THIS IS EXTORTION! REQUIRED TO HAVE 10 GENERALS! 5 COMMANDERS OR MORE!?

A Council even said,

WE EVEN NEED TO HIKE UP THE PRICES OF THE CASTLE STORES THAT ARE AROUND THE KINGDOM, I GUESS THAT THE OTHER STORES THAT ARE NOT IN THE CASTLE ARE EXEMPTED, BUT IT WILL TAKE A TON OF TIME TO ACCOMPLISH THIS.

Queen Saiki then responded to their complaints,

IT IS NOT AS IF THESE ARE HARD, THEY GAVE US A LOT OF TIME TO PREPARE AND FINISH THESE, THERE ARE THINGS WE HAVE ALREADY DONE THAT ARE STILL ON THIS LIST, AND THE EVENT IS A FEW MONTHS AHEAD, WE HAVE ALL THE TIME WE NEED TO ATTEND THIS EVENT, SO I SUGGEST WE SPREAD OUR WORK FOR THIS, AND FOCUS ON THOSE FIRST, LET US NOT DO EVERYTHING AT ONCE, WE WILL DO IT PACED AND EFFICIENTLY.

And so they began the work for the requirements of the upcoming event.

Starting from the hardest task they can do, well, that's what they thought, because of how the Demon Authorities work, they are expecting lesser applicants and weaker demons applying.

Though since they sent out the hiring announcement to only the Castle and the inner ring, there are a few, but they are all very skilled.

One of them is Scrulk, Repertoire's apprentice.

In Scrulk's training grounds, Repertoire visited him,

SCRULK, ARE YOU HERE?

Scrulk, as he is training, responded,

Sir Repertoire, I'm training, is there anything you need.

Repertoire then headed to his side after seeing him.

He then told him,

THERE IS SOMETHING THAT I WANT TO REQUEST FROM YOU, SCRULK.

Scrulk then asked him, he then stopped training after he went close,

What is it that you request from me?

Repertoire then told him, asking him,

DO YOU HAVE A FREE TIME FOR THE NEXT WEEK? I AM GONNA NEED YOU THE WHOLE WEEK.

Scrulk then asked him first,

I can change my schedule, but why do you need me for a whole week? What are we doing?

Repertoire then told him,

ARE YOU UP FOR AN INTERESTING CHALLENGE FROM YOUR MENTOR?

Scrulk responded,

So long as I am still alive after it, you know I am not able to handle things you are able to, right?

Repertoire then told him,

YES, I AM GONNA HAVE YOU APPLY FOR THE COMMANDERS' RECRUITMENT.

Scrulk was surprised, so he reacted,

What!? No, no, no!!!

Despite disagreeing, he was forced by Repertoire, in sparring at least, so Repertoire trained Scrulk for 6 days, and the final day will be the recruitment.

On the Castle, Queen Saiki is making the file documents for the requirements, to inscribe them for the proof of the requirements' completion.

And after she was done for the day, their day in the North Continent is 48 hours, before night arrives, she was visited by Xherava, to inform her that the day has ended.

As she enters, asking her,

SISTER, ARE YOU DONE?

She then looked over at her, she's currently relaxing on her chair since she's done and just resting.

Queen Saiki then responded, answering,

YES, I AM DONE, I AM JUST RESTING, IT HAS BEEN A VERY TIRING DAY IS ALL.

Xherava told her,

LET US GO HOME, YOU NEED TO EAT, AT THE VERY LEAST.

Queen Saiki got up from her chair, but she isn't following her yet,

GIVE ME A MINUTE, I AM STORING THESE FILES IN MY CABINET FOR NOW.

She then began sorting out the files on her table and putting them one by one in her cabinet, Xherava is waiting at her office's door.

After she was done, she went to Xherava's side,

LET US GO HOME, XHERAVA, WHAT DID YOU COOK TONIGHT?

Xherava answered,

DARK INKOROOT DISHES, MISS VER TAUGHT THEM TO ME, THERE ARE MEAT, SOUP, THERE IS EVEN A RICE KIND, I JUST NEED TO PUT THE DARK INKOROOTS ABOVE THE RICE...

They are chatting as they are headed out of the castle to go to their home.

One of the Castle Guards that Queen Saiki is familiar with called her,

GREAT WORK TODAY AGAIN, YOUR MAJESTY.

Queen Saiki told them, replying,

YES, I WILL SEE YOU ALL TOMORROW, OR YOU'RE DEAD!

The guards then responded,

WE SHALL, YOUR MAJESTY!

When they got home, Xherava served the dishes and began eating, and as they are eating, talking is involved, because they can, they are Demons.

Queen Saiki asked her,

ARE YOU APPLYING FOR A COMMANDERS POSITION?

Xherava answered,

I WILL, I WANT TO HELP OUT THE CASTLE MORE, AS A GENERAL, MY ONLY SCOPES ARE THE RINGS, I ONLY LISTEN TO YOUR ORDERS AND ALL.

Queen Saiki responded to her answer,

I WILL BE SPECTATING, IT IS ONLY A WHOLE DAY RECRUITMENT, SO YOU BETTER DO YOUR BEST, I AM NOT TELLING YOU TIPS AND STRATEGIES, JUST DO YOUR BEST OUT THERE.

Queen Saiki thought to that,

I MAY BE HER SISTER, BUT I AM NOT LETTING HER HAVE AN EASY TIME BECAUSE WE DIDN'T IN THE PAST, SHE JUST GOT IT EASY NOW SINCE I GOT US HERE, I WILL SEE HER PERFORMANCE IN THE RECRUITMENT.

After that talk, they finished their food, as usual in their house, Queen Saiki is doing dishes whenever she's there, and since their house is at the inner ring, Xherava is the one doing all the housework because she's always close there.

They then headed to their rooms and slept for the day.

In the North Continent, there are only 3 hours of the night since the Sun didn't actually set after the 48 hours, it just goes on a constant sunset loop for 3 hours before the sun rises again.

3 hours have passed, the next day arrived.
