I kept running away and only realized that my body felt very weak when I was far enough away from the tribe. I stopped to take a breath and then looked back. I'm no longer exposed to flashing flames so my body feels weak due to the effects of bloody marks.'It's very dark in here,' said Rex in my mind.I can just imagine Rex hugging himself in terror if only he had a body this time. I tried to stay brave even though I knew Rex could sense my fear too. You are in a dark and empty area. The light of the huge moon was not enough to penetrate these dense trees.We are quite safe from the pursuit of people in the tribe, they will not be able to chase us until we leave the tribe. However, out here we know that we will have new challenges. Without a flaming torch, I went deeper into the trees. The golden tree helps me to make the light come out of my hand so I can see in this darkness. So far, the forest appears empty.I decided to sit under a tree that looked safe. I quickly took out a hunk

“I-I don't care at all about power, territorial expansion, and all that confusing stuff, Your Highness. I just want to find my father,” I replied.I answered loudly even though I was afraid of this man because what I said was the truth. My main goal now is to find Rex's father and maybe after that, I can return to my own body. If the universe really sent me here, I believe my mission is to help Rex. Maybe the universe will send me back to my real life after that. I'm tired of being in this strange world full of danger."Your father?" he asked."Yes. My father, Rum Hito, I have to find him. He disappeared a few years ago,” I replied.'I hope he knows something,' Rex thought to me.“Rum Hito! Ah, no wonder your name is very familiar to my ears. Apparently, your name is very similar to your father's name," he said in a voice that was quite jarring, making me surprised.It turns out that he does know something about Rex's father. That made me quite enthusiastic because my decision to run

"Time to eat," the man said.I turned to look at him and his expressionless face curved into a slight smile. Even though it was very faint, it looked like he was smiling. I nodded and tried to drag my body which still ached, walking further toward the shared dining area.Toth Karan and the other leaders were already sitting in the seats provided for them. When I appeared, everyone fell silent and looked at me. I don't know what I should do in this situation, so I just stay silent.“Listen up everyone! Rex Hito will be living with us from today. Treat him like a part of the Shadow Totem Tribe!” exclaimed Toth Karan."Your Honour, he has killed our brother!” exclaimed someone.Damn! I just remembered that in the battle at that time, I got some people from that tribe killed. It's nothing I've got a lot of enemies here and it immediately made my mood drop drastically. It's not even safe here.“Your brother died in battle, Borne. He died in the battle against the Flaming Totem Tribe. This

Toth Karan looked at me with a look that I couldn't easily interpret after hearing my question and now I regret what I just said. It seems my question has offended him."Why do you ask that?" he asked me.I gulped. However, no matter how scared I was, it was abysmal. I decided to be brave.'You're crazy, Ares,' commented Rex. I wanted to snap at him to be quiet, but I held myself back. Rex was a scared little boy who couldn't take risks, and I didn't want to hear what he had to say.“I want to know the truth before I do something really big like awakening a sacred totem,” I replied.I didn't expect the words that came out of my mouth to sound so intimidating and overconfident. It's all very contrary to how I feel. Secretly I swallowed hard, but my eyes remained sharp looking at Toth Karan.“We are facing extinction, Rex Hito. We just want to survive,” he replied.I was still staring at him, trying to determine if what he was saying was the truth.“Look at what we are facing right now,

I was surprised to hear the hissing voice answering abruptly.‘What is it?’ Rex asked.Rex couldn't hear the hissing sound, but he could tell what was going on. I didn't answer Rex's question, because I had to focus on listening to the hissing sound.“Shadow Diamond Totem, is that you?” I asked.“Yes, Rex Hito…” he said.I didn't expect I could communicate this easily with the totem. If so, maybe my job will be much easier."So, how do I revive you?" I asked.This a question that sounds silly, but in my opinion the most reasonable. Fortunately, Rex chose to remain silent. Sometimes this kid knows when to be quiet and that makes me a little relieved.“Use all your strength…” he whispered in his terrible voice.“The whole thing? I could die!” I shouted."So?" he asked.Over time I became annoyed with this annoying totem."You think I'd die just to revive you?" I asked.“It was a worthy sacrifice, Rex Hito…” he replied.“What? Do you think I want to do that? In your dreams!” I shouted.I
