Sorry for the late post..Reason: Overwork..I didn't think that last few weeks became so busy here. Sigh.
I also read about the reviews, and I'm afraid that I cannot meet their standards or (high standards). Sigh, they forgot that I'm just an amateur and have little time to edit. And I think, our brain has the ability to comprehend/understand even the grammar is you know..hehehe. I'm not planning to be an author, just post story for fun.
That's it guys. Let's not forgot why we visit/read in this site: To kill time and to have fun.
Enjoy.

Mulier Ispiya HQ
The people here are busy typing and monitoring information or updates in their respective monitors. Many are busy handling calls from field spies and others are issuing some orders. This situation is similar to the scene that can be found in call center in modern Earth.
Computers are a common thing in the Mulier and invented and popularize by yours truly, Joel.
Since Mulier becomes a working government and a proper nation that holds the entire wild wild west, computers are a must. There are many documents and reports that needed to sort and finish according to requests and orders. If they are using the traditional report using the paper-and-pencil-system, it will take months or years to complete. That’s why automation or computer is invented.
The computer can be transformed into tablet or laptop. This is made to cater the services of people and their needs. This computer is different from Earth where there’s a lot of separate components and parts. The computers here are handheld devices or smart phones which has fewer components (mostly crystals, advance science and magic) yet functions more effectively and efficiently than modern day smart computers.
The computer original size (4 to 6-inch smartphone) can extend its screen up to 8k size and provide hologram keyboard and pointer. Yes, the computers here are pretty futuristic. The screen can extend up to 8k TV size and its hologram screen, not a physical traditional monitor. The keyboard and pointer are holograms so people can type and use the computer without the need of physical keyboard or monitor.
Even though touchscreen is present, people here have some difficulty in using it so hologram keyboard and pointers are added.
You just imagine that a smartphone can summon a hologram screen as a monitor, keyboard and pointer. The smartphone can understand complex voice commands and the newest function is to sync with the user's mind. So using smartphone telepathically is possible here. This is made because of the presence of magic and my skills.
But again, most of the people here use holographic keyboard and pointer to do their work.
The phone is a rectangular transparent crystal with complex nanosize circuits inside of it. It doesn’t depend on ram or cpu because it composed of a core invented by me that efficiently process the data, information and its functionalities all in one place. So its performance is fast and guaranteed no lag. I used this world system as its operating system. Operating system is the nervous system of a machine.
And no virus in this kind of system as I’m the only admin and the only programmer here in this world that can do programming. And besides the operating system that I used is the World’s System known as the perfect system created by angels or the True God himself.
Functionalities like recording either video or audio is in high quality. Camera quality is an ultra-crystal clear. You almost cannot find any pixels in zooming in and out and can capture images even the environment is too bright or too dark. This computer is a truly a futuristic device. I bet all the people in Earth want this device.

'Mhhm how much can I sell this one? Ah forget about it. I have lots of endless treasures and rare ores and stones in my novasphere.'
Anyway, this device has some security features. Anti-theft, auto-locator, privacy security and hard to destroy features. Anti-theft means that this device will automatically teleport to the owner if its loss or steal. Quite convenient right.
Privacy security feature protects the privacy rights of the users. For example, it protects the user and the people involved in the picture or video. Any nude or immoral pictures or video will be automatically deleted or censored depending on the level of immorality or disrespectfulness. This feature will prevent blackmail, scandal or any misappropriate use of these types of media. I make this to protect them and the other people. They can still capture their nude bodies but the user cannot share it and only he can view his own nude body.
Hard-to-destroy features includes hacking, tampering and destroying the device. This device is made of harden crystal so to destroy this, you need to use 10 bazookas or 10 to 15 rpgs. Water and shock cannot destroy this device due to its hard material. Hacking or tampering the device is impossible as it uses this World System known for its 100% perfectness made by angels or true God himself. So I can assure that this device is completely reliable, safe and secure.
And auto-locator feature is added and mostly used by the oldies who have serious forgetful memories or to the people who are too busy and eventually forget their phones. I just hope that they will never forget this feature on their phone. Sigh.
This device acts also as ID. All information and accounts is centralized in one device. Security feature kicks in during sharing of personal information. The user doesn’t need to type passwords and other old school computer security. They just only need to touch or thought through the device to make it work. The device is built only for one person so other people cannot use it. They can hold it but cannot open or use it.
I make this type of security features as I don’t want to face future problems regarding this one. This is made possible because of my knowledge and magic.
Oh, the battery or the power of this device is run by environmental temperature meaning the device can recharge itself either the environment is hot or cold as long there’s temperature the device will work. No need of a charger or a power bank.
Okay, enough about that. It looks like I make a long rant and description of my new baby.
“Okay listen this is the current situation of this continent"
The bee woman starts her compiled reports to all the high ranking officials. She focuses on major reports. The high ranking officials are the managers of different departments including the military and some chiefs of the nomads.
These nomad chiefs are not citizens of our country but we made friendly relationship to them. They are just here by pure chance. Well we don’t force them to be part of us. They are no problems if they partake in our group reporting. In fact, it helps us as they are one of our most reliable network or source of information.
And we cannot stop their lifelong hobby which is walking permanently around the wild wild west. Their feet will get itchy if they stayed in one place for too long. People call them nomads, some call them wanderers and others call them walkers. Oi, that last one is not a good name for them you know. They are still breathing and kicking. They are not zombies!

Back to the topic, the conference is quite serious. The Mataliit Empire's civil war, the attempted alliance of Batia Empire to us, the incoming wave of zombies, I mean the demons from Demonica, the barbarians involvement and some nobles or families that may cause great change protruding to the events.
We can get real time and latest information and news because of our spies, the dark elves who can use shadows to move and hide; and the white witches who brainwashed spies from other countries which successfully infiltrate all of their spy and information network.
Hahaha. No one can outwit us in terms of information. I'm a son of James Bond after all. Well not really.
Mataliit civil war is close to its final stages and it seems they have 90% winning chance. The revolutionists are easily defeated because of their selfish desires, lack of unity and the emperor's successful underhanded schemes.
We get a glimpse of his face. He is quite handsome even he is old. Why do people in this world are born to be beautiful? He is the strongest according to our reports. His race is beastman liger. A lion with tiger features. He is one of those hybrids.
Hybrids are not rare in this continent as different races can interact each other. Unlike in fantasy stories where some races cannot interact with other race or have limited reproduction rate. Here in Infanadah, two races can produce an offspring as long as they have reproductive organs, making love is possible. But two different races have difficulty in this area as they need to be truly in love with each other or else they will receive harsh punishments in their reproductive organs. That’s why raping other race is a rare thing here because of unusual consequences.
And speaking of rape, rape is limited to racial category meaning you cannot rape other races. This is one of Genesi's blessings and at the same time curse.
(Genesi, the angel in v1-chap edit. He/she guided the high humans before and awakens by Joel in the demonica territory which is a dungeon. This is also the part where joel saw the fighting between angel and demon)
Continuing on her report, the empire soldiers are abusing their authorities like pillaging, killing, plundering, and taking advantage of civilians who have no authority or power. They break some houses to fill their stomachs, they burn houses which they blindly accuse as part of the rebels, they kill and take like its kind of festival to them. Ah, the typical medieval plunders. And the worst, report that makes our heart aches is the way of killing infants.
Raping women is a common crime in this world as long as they are in the same race. Unfortunately, the empire consists of 91% beastman so unlucky girls are destined to their doom. Others choose to suicide rather than tasting the defilement of their body. They rather keep their dignity and pride in their deaths. But killing infants is the most disturbing and alarming of all the reports.
As she continues to report it by details, our hearts sunk to the bottom of the deepest seas. Some have tears in their eyes, some put an ear plug while others just walk away for a moment.
The infants are killed by throwing them like a garbage upwards and then when those poor innocent babies fall down they are meet by the sharp tip of the spear. The spear easily made its way towards the soft body of an innocent infant that takes away its life. The infants are still young and innocent, they should have bright tomorrow or being spoiled by their parents. But due to civil war, those poor souls leave this world too early.
This is the result after the Mataliit Emperor proceeds to his next phase which is to give power and authority for his soldiers. This is also his way to reward his soldiers who are fighting for him and to keep their loyalty. This also shows their might and the harsh expectations and consequences if anyone opposes the Mataliit Empire.
This is a reminder to all of his enemies. This method is way beyond barbaric but effective. But I know that not all Imperial soldiers abused their power, there is a good fruit in a basket full of rotten fruits. Sadly, almost all of them abuses it and cause chaos in their victims.
I admit that I cry for them. I have slight tears forming in my eyes. Queen Eva is also crying for their deaths and only just hold my hand tighter. I console her. She is known to her love for the children. She likes children especially the new born ones. She always make a time to have some bonding with our citizens' children and babies. She is known as 'Queen who loves kids'.
I know that she feels more pain than me. The mothers and females who present here feels more pain than any males especially the single guys. They demand to punish or kill those bandits. They call those imperial soldiers as bandits. Well, no one can blame them as they act like bandits. Even me is fuming with anger but we cannot just go there and rescue them as that war is for them. That is their own war. That is their own territorial problem. We have no strong reason to participate in that war. We have no right to meddle in the first place so to speak.
The report only shows us the result of the war, that’s all. We only feel this pain because of the sufferings of the poor people. And I remind my people, that the event was already finished and we have nothing we can do about it. We have no responsibility nor a right to participate and interfere with them. I know that it is unjust or injustice but I remind my people that we cannot save and help all the weak in this world. We are just mortals with limitations. We are not gods. And that civil war is their own intention so they must prepare for their own consequences.
This is also to remind my people that this military exercise of Mataliit which granting a soldier of too much power is always not a good action. We must keep control and balance in our people especially granting power or authority. Thankfully, the ruckus died down and they finally understand what I meant.
They remember their native times and part of it is war. War is cruel. They already know about that. If they are modern people having high justice spirit, it might take more time to persuade them. Luckily, they are natives who are just newly civilized. They already understand the harshness and cruelty of this world. Then we proceed to the next topic.
Next is the alarming report about the dispatched troops from Demonica. It looks like they want to join the fray to add more trouble and chaos. Those creepy and troublesome weredemons always want fresh meat. Their involvement adds more pain and turmoil in the current situation.
Weredemons are the most troublesome opponent in this continent. They have high physical strength, abnormal regenerative ability that makes them almost immortal and the most feared of all is the Royal Family who inherits a little amount of Devil’s power.
The devil is the opposite of the angel. They are in supernatural realm so we in mortal realm are just dust compared to them. Unlike in most fantasy novels that they can be killed or defeated by mortals, here in this world or in this dimension or universe, they are the real deal.
They are the second strongest before the creator, the True God. I meet one already and get a chance to view the epic fight between an angel and the demon. Even they are not in their full power, they are still awesome possessing beyond mortal strength, might and power. There’s a reason why their power drops down to a considerable extent when they are in mortal realm. That is to prevent the destruction of the planet or the galaxy because they have too much power.
They held too much power in mortal's point of view but to them, that is just their normal power. Remembering those fight scenes always make my hair stand and I tend to forgot to blink. I just too focus on that epic fight.
Royal weredemons possess a very little amount of devil power. It is just a little amount for their mortal body's safety. It is like in medicines that only safe dosage is recommended. The royal family didn’t summon a devil to gain this power. This is just part of their own power. The devil just treat it as a gift. I don’t know what kind of crazy power they have but I am sure that they don’t use mana or magic to start their own spells.
It is like more of a supernatural power or the ability itself. Meaning they have unlimited potential in casting spells. My [World knowledge] doesn’t have any info regarding this one. Maybe it’s a system restriction or no information after all. But I have a good idea about their capabilities and I need to be cautious.
Currently they are sending 100,000 minions to feed and provide chaos in their respective targets. These minions are lower demons. These lower demons are mutated werebeast after they become controlled and enslave during the Great Tahas Fall. So werebeast are already extinct in this continent. They become lower demons.
One lower demon have at least a power of level 300. Quite high level in normal standards. It takes more people or armies to take them down. Lower demons feed on fresh dead meat, fresh meat of any living, they do even cannibalism, shapeshifting and many more. By feeding on people's meat is the only way to satisfy their hunger. Feeding makes them stronger and powerful.
I am speechless after hearing the descriptions and seeing some photos. I'm surprised that they have similar appearance of aswang and any scary creature from Philippine myths.
The audience got creep out from hearing and watching the report. Well, I understand their curiosity about Demonica forces. This is their first time seeing those weird, gross and unfamiliar horror creatures. Well, those are horror creatures in the first place though. Our spies have a good job in taking pictures of them.
The current direction of their forces can be narrow down to two possible routes. One, is towards the Mataliit Empire where there are many piles of corpses around. For them, this is their festival day. Second, their route is towards us. I don't know why they are going here but I can think that they just here to create chaos.
This is a problematic situation if I don’t propose my guns before. But now we have guns, we can take them down in a safe place. Our guns can be loaded easily with any chemicals or magic because it’s a fantasy world. So I propose something that makes them shock and surprise.
The nomads who have questionable faces ask me questions. Good this shows that they are listening.
“Sun… salt? Is that possible? They are demons you know. Don’t you think that we need holy weapons instead?”
“and does it make you a laughing stock if they hear about this?”
“And where did you hear about holy weapons are effective against demons?” -Joel
“In our travels sir"
“Then you are half right..half wrong" - joel
“ I don’t understand"
“”Holy weapons” are just weapons created by mortals so holy weapons doesn’t exist in the first place. The demons we talking here are mutated werebeast meaning they become demons with the influence by other realm, the supernatural realm. Holy weapons are just a product of our mortal's imagination"
I also explain to them the anatomy of lower demons and the effectiveness of salt and sun. It looks like those two weaknesses are not yet known to this world. How weird. Ancient people in Earth knows about this you know.
“So in other words, a man-made sword or your holy sword cannot kill a lower demon which has been influence by a devil"- Joel
After my explanation, the nomad chiefs are starting to understand bit by bit.
“Then we will purchase salt.”
“I think I need huge amount of salt"
“People don’t panic. A salt a day is enough to keep demons away" while showing a sachet of salt.
Fortunately, I know the weakness of Demonica minions. That is, sunlight and salt. I can make a bullet with UV rays and a bomb that explodes a salt or any long range weapons that I can think of as long as it exploits their weaknesses. Those Demonica forces are a way stronger and powerful than any Medieval soldier or warrior. They are really lower demons.
There's no way for fantasy medieval people to win as they always rely on melee fighting and magic attacks. The lower demons or the Demonica forces or minions have developed natural magical resistance so magic attacks are just an itch to them. The worst way of fighting them is melee as techniques and weapons can be easily destroyed by their high physical strength. So to battle those annoying idiots, we counter them by exploiting their weakness while in safe distance.
Their body might be stronger and they are almost immortal but it doesn’t mean that they are invincible. One of my favorite motto is: Practice makes perfect but no one is perfect so why practice?
Okay, the point is that no one is perfect. Only god is perfect. So anything or anyone have weakness(es).
The bodies of lower demons are built for night activities like night raid so they don’t develop melanin. Melanin is a skin cell that protects us from the damaging effect of sun's rays. As for the salt, most of lower demons that are land base have way more water in their bodies. That water greatly enhances their regenerative ability and abilities so to counter it, salt is the answer. Their bodies are like slugs that contained lots of water but by applying salt, we can make them dehydrate. And that makes them easy to kill.
I propose my 'exploit weakness' plan to the military and engineers and to the related party to create UV bullets and salt grenades and explosives. I also added some anti-demon heavy machinery like salt missile, uv missile, uv anti-air gun and many more. Lol, those anti-demon weapons are funny and medieval people will sorely laugh at us especially to me. But the Mulier people already knew me and my strangeness so they don’t laugh and just focus their time for counterattack. The nomads on the other hand are buying salt in huge quantities.
Then next is the Batia schemes, we have little information about this one but its enough to understand the surface of their scheme and intentions. They likely make us to become their allies to use us to their own good. And there's a possibility of nasty consequences if we refuse to become their allies. According to our spies, we will expect some invitation letter from them within a month or two.
Because they have no major movements, we proceed to know the Batia Emperor. He is a blood elf. Blood Elves are known for using blood to cast powerful spells. They are one of the most dreaded mages in this world.
The emperor is handsome and have a nice body built as expected of an elf. Their eyes are red blood making long eye contact to them somewhat disturbing. Aside from his looks and ability, he forms strong connections inside and outside the country. He is known as gentle emperor but cunning and snake deep in his heart. He always uses schemes and shows positive side on the surface to keep his image. He is just become an emperor ten years ago when the royal family become weak in power and died in front of the crowd. It is quite a memorable time in Batia History. After that, the country stabilized and became prosperous. My spies dig up more dirt but most of them are just alibis or distractions in case someone digs his file. But he underestimates our spies which personally trained by me.
Okay, I just give them spy skill book and they are ready for spy action. And we unexpectedly dig some info and files that can led to the Batia emperor thrown from his current position. Medieval tactics in info hiding is no match in modern day spying. I might or we might use this as a blackmail to the emperor if we are forced.
Can’t wait to use this one. Of course, if we are forced.
Lastly on the conference, is the high number of people going towards our territory. Some might be treasure hunters, evildoers or just need to take refuge. This might be complicated to handle but my Queen has solution prepared for this. Oh, I am impressed by her quickness.
The solution is to kill all evildoers and welcome the good ones. Oh, quite simple indeed. We will frighten the criminals and at the same time increase the number of good citizens in our country. Which is a win-win solution and its quite simple. We still need manpower at the moment.
The report ends within one and a half hour and resume our daily tasks. I and other high ranking managers thank the wonderful performance of our host for today’s conference. She is slightly pleased and happy knowing that her work is recognize. Let’s have a culture to thank hard working people to ease their fatigue and make them happy.
The bee woman is one of the hive queen with sprouting little wings at her back, antennas in her forehead, striped yellow skinned and currently wears one of the latest business fashion in Mulier, the modern secretary dress.
She didn’t wear any glasses and sadly the skirt is just above the knee. She only wears a tight female blouse and skirt that reveals her hips curve and the other curvy areas. But still with her sexy hips and her beautiful face, you can call her professionally hot. The males are slightly mesmerized and lost focus but regains their calmness afterwards. Well, they are bare naked natives before so this scene is quite normal here.
Sexy and hot girls is a common thing here in Mulier. They are originally almost naked natives so seeing this new fashion doesn’t make all Mulier boys become big bad wolf. Like I said, it’s a common thing here so we are used in seeing this type of things especially the hot ones.
Queen Eva is at my side so let’s focus on the next task. I don’t want to taste the bad side of her. She is getting smarter and prettier in these days though.
-A scene on the future-
On that day, salt and sun is spread in the wild wild west as an effective weapon against lower demons. The nomads personally saw that the lower demons are avoiding them and some are screaming because of the pain. They pass this method from generations to generations with additional creativeness and part of their rituals. Many people tend to use salt for their ceremonies to cast away evil spirits. Even though it is not effective against spirits or any evil spiritual beings(superstitious), they still believe in it. Most of the nomads will travel at day and perform only activities at day as to them the sun protects them.
It is later known as “Joe's anti-demon weapons”, “The Joe ritual", and later on he is called the legendary “Demon slaying Joe" slaying thousands of demons by just sprinkling salts. Rumors tend to exaggerate then it became a tale and people will add his own becoming it more and more legendary.
This tale is popular among the Nomads and to the children in the future. If Joel knows about this, he will just give a laugh or a long sigh.

So, please, I'm really begging here, don't tell me that it's full of cliches, I A L R E A D Y know.
