"Y/NNN!"
"Yes, my love?"
"I told you to learn at least something from the meeting I hosted yesterday. Where were you?" Your blue head husband scowled.
"Hahaha," You scratched your cheeks, a nervous chuckle appearing through your lips. "I was just, you know..."
"What?"
"I.. Uh.." You turned your body away from him. "Things happened."
"Seriously, Y/N?" Rimuru facepalmed. "You said you would learn something from the meeting."
"Did I, though?" You faced him again.
You didn't want to openly admit to Rimuru that his meeting was boring. You didn't want to hurt his pride.
As you said before, you weren't good at that.
You guessed which was why Rimuru forced it upon yourself to at least learn something.
"Look, I'm so sorry!" You gave Rimuru your best puppy eyes. "I won't do it again."
"Fine." Rimuru sighed. "I believe you." Your husband patted you on the head. "Next time, I won't be so nice. Got it?"
"Of course, my lovely king of the elf society!" You threw on the biggest smile that you can muster up. Rimuru couldn't help, but blush at your cute face.
"Let's get going. There's a lot of thing we have to discuss."

"That guy from earlier was a subordinate for Carrion?"
"Yeah. It seems so. Do you remember who Carrion is?"
"Hmm," You placed your index finger against your cheek.
You thought of any possible memories of this Carrion that your husband mentioned, yet no clue seemed to be found. "I told you I quit the demon lord thing a long time ago. I was probably a child when I became one, I don't remember much."
"That young? What were parents even thinking?"

You stayed silent at that question, which Rimuru obviously took notice of. He decided to disregard the question for now, and continued on with their previous conversation.
"I'm not sure, but I feel like something bad is about to happen." You muttered suddenly; quietly.
"You think so, huh?"
"Whenever I have a feeling about something, I always seem to be right." You sighed. "I can't say if it's strong and powerful, or if it's something that'll hurt us mentally, but we all need to be prepared."
»
"Wow. Y/N's so serious all of a sudden. Despite the way she looks and acts, she can always be someone you can depend on."
»
"So what do you suspect we do?"
"Obviously we prepare for what might happen. We'll have get our strongest men to train. I don't know what your people do when it comes to fighting or power and such, but I'm sure my people can at least handle something whether it's dangerous or not."
"Right. I'll let them know. I have to get the goblin riders to train some more as well."
"Even if we aren't strong enough, you still have me. And I guess Millim as well." You said the last part to yourself quietly.
"I prefer we save your powers for something more dangerous. You said that bracket of yours hold 95% of your power, right?" He took ahold of your arm, "Then perhaps there'll be a day where you actually use it for something good."
"Whatever you say." You sighed. "Getting the bad feeling I have out of the way, I really need to learn your people's name."
"Yeah.. About that."
Rimuru knew Y/N would have a hard to remembering them. Especially when all their names sound almost the same.

BODY&SHADOW
AN ILLUSTRATED NOVEL • UPDATES TUESDAY AND FRIDAY In a time before living memory, the King Dragon of the Void watched the world and realized there was a crack. He realized that humanity was destroying the rock upon which they lived; they leaked life’s code into the churning chaos. At first the change was imperceptible: nanites overtook microorganisms, bacteria, viruses, amoebas. Insects became increasingly inorganic; birds and lizards followed soon after. Even humans were infected by their own advances, cell by cell, till there was not a person left on earth who wasn’t at least part synthetic, the product of a prior generation’s carelessness. The world’s population was ravaged by mechanical viruses with no vaccines; they were mercilessly overtaken by bacteria that knew no death. Soon, most of the planet was empty and only a handful remained who remembered the hedonist realm they came from; only a few were left who remembered what the world looked like when their buildings touched the sky. The King Dragon of the Void watched the rock turn. He watched humans cower as the Old World fell down around them; watched their great monuments crumble into dusty ruins; watched their codes become precious, ancient gem memories forged under the crushing pressure of so many fallen stones. The world has spun many times around the sun since chaos swallowed man whole. It is a simpler time than the one that died out, but the people now are not immune to the folly of the people before. There is old code everywhere: in the water, in the air, in the trees. The heart of man has been replaced by power cores, many of which are hard-coded with preternatural abilities—when they die, an esoteric mountain sect collects their cores and stores them in their hollow mountain home to preserve the sanctity and dignity of human death. They’ve learned to harness artifacts of the old world, gemstones full of codes their nanite infused bodies can parse as spells imbuing their users with great power; they inlay them into their bodies, into their skins, connected to their cores by copper conduit and gold tracers; they dress themselves in tattoos to advertise their prowess; they battle for relics in arenas, fight for them in the open world wherever they are found. The King Dragon of the Void watches the rock turn and wonders: when will this hunger finally make the rock stop spinning? WELCOME TO FANXING CITY … Twenty-five years ago, Fanxing City and the surrounding lands were commanded by the mad King Zao Beiguan. For many years, the King hoarded wealth, artifacts, food; he demanded tribute from a people already taxed to the edges of their existence and expected they be happy with their circumstances. Noncompliance was often punished harshly, bodies displayed proudly on Fanxing’s streets as a warning, from the city gates to the Zao palace’s golden doors. The youths of several prominent clans came together to overthrow the tyrant and made names for themselves as legendary heroes across the land: Tian, Ren, Feng, Gui, Ma, and Zhenxi. Even wanderers from the Luanshi sect descended from Yunji mountain to aid the rebellion. When the dust settled after three years, Tian Yunyong ascended the throne of Fanxing and swore to honour his slain father’s memory, and has maintained Fanxing’s peace with generosity and mercy where fear and cruelty once reigned.
