Author note: I decided to release the chapter earlier than 15:00 GMT. The thing I had to do in the morning took less time than expected so here it is. Also, this chapter contains less speech and more description. Just wondering whether you guys prefer this or not. I will probably do a chapter like this every so often.

"This continent is called Acronia, the home of our ancestors and theirs' before that." (librarian halfling)

I was fairly shocked with the scale of the world I was in. There were 8 different countries, each separated by thick lines which I guessed were the borders. Each country seemed fairly large. There was a scale in the corner which showed that 1 cm was about 1,000 kilometers with the smallest country about half a metre wide. As I was inspecting the map...

"Well, study hard. You have 15 minutes left until the Captain picks you up for lunch then training. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going back to sleeping. Don't interrupt me rudely like you did earlier" (librarian halfling)

"Eh?!" (Drac)

The librarian walked over to a pile of books in a corner, then buried himself in it. That lazy bastard, he was supposed to teach me. I should be used to how the people from this world treat me by now but it still annoys me. When I conquer the world, after the King, he will be the second person that I will have hung by their own entrails. Back to the map now.

Like I said, there were 8 countries. Each of the countries have a name written on them, followed by the race that inhabits it and lastly a picture of the race. In the Northernmost part of the map, there was a country with many contour lines on. When I say many, I mean many. It looked like there must be a frikking huge mountain there. The words across the country said: Big mountain, Avians, then the picture of an avian.

I don't know what was more shocking; this world's naming sense or how anticlimactic I found avians to look. As soon as I saw the word avian, I thought it would be a man with wings. Not a normal looking man with bird legs. Yes, that's right. Avians are normal people, speak normally, do normal things but they live in a place which they clearly aren't evolved well for.

Luckily that was the only disappointing race. The rest were elves living in the Country of the Great Forest; Humans living in the Kingdom of Golrend; Dwarves living in a mountain range called the Iron Mantle; beastmen living in the Great Jungle; mer-people living in the Sea of Prosperity; orcs living in the Plains of Disembowelment and demons living in the Scorched lands of Ash.

I decided to mentally map out the continent. In the centre is the Kingdom of Golrend. South is the Great Jungle. In the West are the Plains of Disembowelment. Just East of Golrend is the Sea of Prosperity which is followed by the Scorched lands of Ash. North is the Iron Mantle and I guess one would have to go through that mountain range to get to Big Mountain.

(I kind of wanted to add a map here but I am not all that good at drawing ones so I will leave it to your imagination)

As I was memorizing the map, Arthur came in.

"Drac, it's lunch time." (Arthur)

I can't believe he is only punctual when it involves food. He arrived exactly 15 minutes after that lazy ass said he would. I thought that he would arrive late so I didn't have time to work out how I can use the continent's geography to an advantage or find out which country I should conquer first. (of course it's for after I defeat the demon lord and with an army)

I leave the library with Arthur without putting the map away. My revenge against the halfling has only just started. We do go to the hall which the feast was previously held in. I personally wouldn't have put it past the King that he makes me eat in an inn or the servants' quarters. Wait, I spoke too soon. The banquet hall is on the way to the servant quarters.

We arrive the servants' quarters and eat with the servants. Arthur and I had a slightly better meal than them. The chef actually decided to treat me like a hero. Shocking right? The servants eat some bread and jam, washed down by a pint of beer. Arthur and I are given some bread and meat, followed by some jell dessert. After the meal, I decided to thank the chef. Un-demon lord like I know but he was the first person I met who didn't piss me off immediately. Afterwards, we leave towards the so called outdoor training area.

When we get there, I notice the two soldiers from when I first got summoned, sparring against each other. I would say weak because the undead guards from my old castle were stronger but I refrain from doing so. I can't really comment when I am alone and weak.

I thought we were going to start training right away but instead, we go indoors into a small barrack.

"We use this to identify people as well as see their strength. Everyone has one, from the King to the citizens. Of course, the different metals represent a person status. Gold nobility, silver upper class and bronze everyone else." (Arthur)

He throws at me a cheap looking bronze amulet. At least there was no amulet worse than bronze. I would have probably got one if there was one, knowing this world.

"Say stats" (Arthur)

"Stats..." (Drac)

A box appears in my vision.

Author note: Any guesses to see what stats Drac has? I did give a clue in my description and the first chapter. Also, I don't really know whether the quality of my chapters is dropping or improving, please give your opinions below and hopefully continue to read my work. As I have said before, I will be releasing this series daily. I look forward to reading your responses. Reading every single one of them for chapter 1 and 2 made me ecstatic, even though there weren't that many lol.
