Chapter 556 The Story
Wain slowly got up, grabbed his head, and muttered, “Damn, what happened here? How much sleep did I get?”
His bed was partially torn apart as though a beast had attacked it with powerful jaws, the wall in the distance had been destroyed, and he himself lay on the floor.
Wain shook his head and opened his status as he was curious to know what happened to him after the evolution. He had never seen so many messages before.

What the hell…? What is this…?” Wain muttered inwardly while in disbelief.
“You’re finally awake.” Aurora said while approaching him.
“Hmm? Who are you?” Wain muttered with a wary look as his hands lit up in gray flame.
Next to him appeared several jaws that stared at Aurora like vicious piranhas that were ready to tear her to pieces.
‘I don’t know how, but he just evolved, but even so… Why does he look so terrifying?’ Aurora internally muttered as she gulped.
She still didn’t understand how Wain could grab her by the neck and throw her to the ground, even though she was much stronger.
“Wait!” Aurora reached out her hand to stop him, “I am not the enemy. I was the one who saved you from the Forgotten Forest.”
“Saved? Huh, as I recall, I dealt with that bitch myself. In that case, you’re just a simple kidnapper, aren’t you?” Wain asked with a serious look, “Where are Ern, Erza, and Alas? What have you done with them?”
“They’re fine. You can see for yourself if you want.” Aurora folded her arms in a disgruntled manner, “By the way, these are the best apartments in the entire castle! Instead of thanking me, you start threatening me! I wouldn’t be so impertinent if I were you. You’re a long way from my level!”
“Castle?” Wain muttered with a confused look, “Are we in some town?”
“Yes. You’re in Nameless Castle. I’m sure that tells you something.” Aurora muttered while staring intently at Wain.
“Nameless Castle… This is the first I’ve heard of this place.” Wain shook his head, “By the way, what happened to my clothes and this place. Did someone attack us?”
As Aurora heard this, her face contorted with anger, and a powerful aura radiated from her, “Yeah… It was like that.”
Wain looked at her with a strange look but decided not to ask about it anymore.
“You’re a human, right?” Wain pronounced.
“Yes, as you and all the inhabitants of this city, since Nameless Castle is in the territory of the City of the Forgotten King. Now you are in Human World, it is one of the few places that resisted the will of the World of Darkness during the Merger of Worlds, so that was a brief explanation.” Aurora waved her hand in a careless manner.
“Human World? That actually exists?” Wain exclaimed with a dazed look.
“Of course it does. Over the past few hundred years, some races and Arkans have tried diligently to forget about it. They have done their best to erase us from the pages of history so that a new generation will never know of us, but it is simply impossible to hide something as great and majestic as this.” Aurora uttered in a serious voice as she took pride in being a human.
“But, why are they trying to hide it? Why are you still hiding?” Wain asked.
“Hmm… Follow me. I have something to show you.” Aurora muttered as she walked out of the room.
They walked down a long corridor that looked majestic but not pretentious as this castle was built to show strength, not wealth.
Along the way, they encountered many people, most of whom were dressed in formal attire or were servants. They all bowed low as they saw Aurora and stared with a surprising look at Wain, that walked behind her.
“You seem pretty popular, don’t you?” Wain grinned.
“Well, just so you know, I’m one of the Elders of the Human World. You should have been more polite to me.” Aurora said in a serious manner.
“Huh, that sounds pretty cool. Where are we going?”
“We’re already here.” Aurora said since she stopped at the massive gate.
She slowly opened it as bright light fell upon them, so Wain even had to squeeze his eyes shut for a second. At the same time, there was a pleasant murmur of city life that was hidden behind the thick walls. After the gate was a massive balcony overlooking the entire city.
“Come here.” Aurora waved as she approached the fence, “This is Forgotten King City, one of the major cities in the human world. As you understand, I am in charge here, so this castle belongs to me, as does the entire city.” b𝚍𝚘𝚟l.nt
“Well, well, it actually looks beautiful.” Wain smiled while looking ahead.
The city was huge as several hundred thousand people were living there. On this sunny day, all the inhabitants were busy doing something, some doing trade, some fixing the tile roofs of the stone buildings, and some patrolling the area around the city near the high walls.
There were many stately buildings, unusual neighborhoods, and interesting places in the city, but one thing stood out from the rest. It was a massive dark statue of a man with a crown on his head that stood in the city’s center, in the main square.
“Whose statue is that?” Wain asked as he felt something strange as he looked at it.
“That’s what I wanted to talk to you about. This statue of the hero of all mankind and the one who was the strongest being in the universe. This castle and the entire human world belonged to him. This is the statue of the Nameless King.” Aurora said with a trembling voice while clasping her hand to her chest.
