Joy appeared in the pool of blood he made and got out. He took a deep breath, he might be too old for this. He looked around and saw a flying worm demon drinking the blood pool.

He rushed towards it and it tried to fly away. Joy grabbed its body and dug his sharp finger into the demon. The demon wiggled and struggled with its slimy body but Joy kept his grip tight. He dug his finger deeper into the demon and blood gushed out.

He then pulled and tore the demon into pieces. He proceeded to devour the demon before its soul dissipated. Looking around his surroundings, he saw many thorn vines closing in on the blood pool. It seems the thorn vines wanted to suck the blood pool.

Joy took out four wings and flew into the sky. He wasn't feeling too happy, he thought he could plunder some souls in the other world but it was not meant to be. The area he was in no longer had connectivity with another world, he would have to find other places with connectivity and make another door.

A giant flying five-fingered hand demon with a mouth in its palm flew towards Joy. The hand demon was big enough to wrap around Joy and he knew he couldn't beat it in ariel combat. He flew down to the ground and launched stones after stones towards the hand demon.

The hand demon kept diving towards him. Upon coming close, Joy dodged the flying hand demon and it crashed to the ground. A screech of pain came from the hand demon.

“Little demon, don’t be afraid, let me eat you!” it screamed and quickly scuttled towards Joy.

Joy jumped away and ran. From afar, he saw an egg demon with faces and tentacles all over its body. He ran towards the egg face demon. The hand demon kept chasing him and slowly sped up. Joy reached the egg face demon and jumped into the sky.

The hand demon crashed into the egg face demon and the two proceeded to fight. Tentacles wrapped around the fingers of the hand demon and tried to pull them apart. The flying hand demon grabbed onto the egg face demon and proceeded to tighten.

A crack and a hundred screech came from the egg demon. The egg demon busted apart and The hand demon proceeded to eat it. Joy slammed onto the back of the hand demon and broke its back. He grabbed a huge part of its skin and ripped it off. He jumped into the sky and flied. In the sky, he watched the hand demon bleed and screech with pain.

After a while, the hand demon bleed to death and Joy devoured its soul. He flew away and planned to find other places to make a new door and hunt demons.

While he was flying, Jules appeared in front of him. He was at first shocked but calmed down.

“What is it?” Joy asked.

“I need you to do something for me,” said Jules.

Jules took out a baby from existence. The baby was wrapped in white cloth and she handed it to him. The baby looked the same as the one he kicked and he became surprised. How and why he thought to himself. He looked at her wanting an answer. She gave him an answer that pleased and displeased him.

“It’s the same baby you kicked, but using my powers, she is made real,” said Jules.

Looking down at the baby who was looking at him with its soft black eyes, Joy’s heart softened greatly. He looked back at Jules wondering what she was going to ask him to do.

“I go by Jules now, I'll be sending you to another world to raise her, see you later,” said Jules.

Joy’s surroundings started turning dark and he held onto the baby closely and tightly. In his arm, he could feel the warmth and fragileness of the baby.

He appeared in a room with white walls and a balcony. There were two bedrooms, a kitchen, a bathroom, and storage. Knowledge flooded his head and he knew most of everything. He looked down at the baby in his arm and touched its soft face. He never had a family or a kid, the world Jules sent him to was too harsh for that.

Jules appeared on a dirt road with green land and trees. The sky was blue with some clouds and the sun was shining down. She looked at Eszero who was smelling a flower with a smile. She wanted an explanation from him.

“Why did you do that?” she asked.

“I felt like it,” he replied.

It was strange, Jules wondered why he would stop Joy’s task of exploring the Below World and give him a baby. She couldn't understand what Eszero was thinking.

“I want you to go stay with Tai Shen for a while,” said Eszero.

Jules thought for a moment, besides advancing Eszero’s plan, she had nothing else to do. She was willing to go stay with Tai Shen and teach him a few things he didn't know. However, Jules felt something amiss, it was as if Eszero was setting up something. She didn't know what he was setting up but she was mostly sure it had to do with his goals.

“Have you met with any Externity,” Jules asked.

She wanted to know how Eszero would interact with others of his kind. He did not seem like the person who fits in the same crowd.

“I have,” he replied.

“What were they like?” she asked.

“Hmmmmmm,” he smelled another flower.

Jules waited patiently for him to reply.

He looked up at the sun and smiled.

“If I had to describe them, I would say, they're like the wind, everywhere and anywhere. They can be soft or soothing, or like a hurricane.”

“Do they see themselves like that?” she asked.

Eszero's perspective of them might be wrong and she wanted to know their perspective. Eszero reached out his hand and a butterfly landed. He looked at the butterfly curiously, as if it was the most fascinating thing ever.

“They represent existence,” said Eszero. “Everything you see, from the dirt to the sky, they see themselves as that.”

Jules became interested, she suddenly wanted to meet another Externity besides Eszero. Eszero seemed to see her thought and he gave a small smile.

“We can meet one before you go to visit Tai Shen,” he said as he got up.

Jules nodded, she would like to meet another Externity.

She disappeared and became part of Eszero, everything Eszero sees, she would see.

Eszero clothing's changed and he put on tattered rags. He became messy and dirty, everything about him seemed smelly. He looked like a poor peasant boy who begged for food from town to town. A brown bag with a string appeared in his hand and he swung it over his shoulder. A long stick appeared in his hand and he started walking.

He walked and walked under the warm sun. He kept smiling as he walked, as if he was the happiest boy in the world.

He sang a humming tune to himself as he walked, and he sometimes jumped to skip a rock. If he saw a flower close to the road, he would smell it once and kept walking. A breeze of wind washed over him, and some of his stinky smell flew with the wind.

He walked for long and far. Ahead he saw a carriage coming by. The carriage looked like it was carrying a beautiful noble.

The driver of the carriage saw Eszero and looked at him suspiciously. Eszero looked at the carriage with curiosity and amazement, as if he wanted such carriage himself. A beautiful voice came from the carriage, it was very pleasant to Eszero’s ears.

“Stop Firmar,” said the voice of a young lady.

The carriage stopped and a young lady stepped out with her servant. She had black hair and black eyes. She wore a curly long dress that amplified her beauty. Her jewels sparkled under the sun, Eszero was sure he could become a rich man if he got one.

“Where are you going traveler,” she asked with a mature voice.

Eszero flushed and looked at her with a sheepish smile. Jules was wondering what in the world was going on, she was getting confused, was this the real Eszero.

"I don't know where I'm going," Eszero replied sheepishly, "all I know is, it's somewhere nice."

The young lady seemed surprised at his word. His words seemed as if they were the truth of the world. She believed his words and believed that he was going somewhere nice. She wanted to go to this place somewhere nice too, she wanted to follow him and see this nice place.

"Could I go with you?" She suddenly asked.

Surprise filled Eszero's face but then he gave a bright smile. The young lady thought he would definitely agree.

"I'm sorry," Eszero said with a bow, “but it is not my place to take you there.”

The young lady became sad, it seems she wasn't destined to go to the nice place. She said her goodbyes to Eszero and apologized for wasting his time. Before she left, Eszero gave her a whistle. He told her something would help her if she blew the whistle. They parted ways and Eszero continued on.

"That seemed like an ordinary whistle," said Jules.

"It is," Eszero replied.

"So you lied to her," she asked.

"Nope," Eszero replied and kept walking.
