《The Man Ruined by The Gods》Chapter 17: The Hardships of Kingdom(Town) Building

“Is it alright now!”
The questioning voice echoed through the cave, the voice came from Xenados who was at the bottom of the cave. If you are curious as to how it came to this, it all started the day before.
“What?”
Xenados’ voice was loud as he stared angrily at the shade. Seeing it’s master in a fit of rage the shade recounted what he just said. After which Xenados calmed down and sat as he processed the events.
“The drainage led pass the crust and dump all the filth to a magma chamber that you all just happen to come by. But the plan you did backfired since due to the magma chamber being part of the convection current the magma made it’s way up the pipes, before it could cause damage you all sealed the pipes”
(yes...)
“But then you realized that the pipes would soon be filled with filth and the whole city smelling like shit would happen in less than two weeks, am I right?”
(yes...)
“*sigh* and now you want me to think of a way to fix it?”
(No no no, we wish for you to create a transportation formation, we made and empty cavern and there we plan to place all the filth but if that were only it we would have to empty it every few years. To make the system better we thought that it would be possible for you to make the transportation magic formation to lead to the magma chamber...)
In the end Xenados’ for his beloved plumbing decided to create the formation. He had a few problems but the biggest is that he can’t engrave a pattern in a magma chamber.
“How do you expect me to survive being even near the magma chamber!”
Those were his words but the great shade architects and engineers already thought of a solution for that.
After the transportation formation was made all they needed now is for the destination. The coordinates were placed to be a certain pillar that was erected in the magma chamber.
The shades are unable to directly control mana thus they are not able to create magic formations as well as use magic other than void magic but that didn’t matter.
Possessing certain rocks and metals in the chamber they were able to create an indestructible pillar that won’t melt no matter how hot it is and also impervious to the force of the convection current.

The pillar would be the destination but the problem that Xenados had is that he won’t be able to place it on the pillar. But that’s where the ingenuity of the shades comes in.
Who said that Xenados had to personally be the one to place the formation, first the formation would be placed on a shade, the shade would then assimilate into the pillar in the chamber.
When the shade assimilates it would transfer the formation to the pillar. A shade is like a ghost so it could pass through anything as well as not be affected by any physical attack.
But they are unable to dodge the magic attacks but when Xenados placed the formation he made it simply stay on the shade similar to how armor stays on mortals.
Then all the shade had to do is remove his armor and leave it there. Of course Xenados put an additional property the formation, after it is separated from the shade the formation would attach itself to anything with a physical body. As such even if the “indestructible” pillar were to break the formation would still stay in the chamber even in the convection current causing the filth to always end up getting burned.
After Xenados finished this work the shades escorted him out of the cave and after which the entrance was forever sealed with boulders, and soil.
“Now that that’s over I guess it’s time to train”
Just as Xenados was thinking of what kind of training he would do for the time being the screaming voice of a woman entered his ears.
“LORD!”
Turning around Xenados notices the person is a dark elf, more than that it’s not any normal dark elf.
“Ytha if it’s about “who’ll be first?” again just give up”
Yes Xenados was troubled not by the plumbing the most but by this perverted dark elf. For some reason she would always come running to him but her words would always be the same, “Who’ll be first?”.
How could he not realize what the words actually meant? Xenados simply ignored her or called Antonia to shoo her away but she would always come back.
“No that’s not it!”
The legal loli dark elf said so as she explained the situation hearing her words Xenados was shocked and returned with her to the town.
There in front of the gates is a group of demi-humans, no demi-beastmen? Anyways from their appearance one could already guess what they are.

“Half-bloods?”
When Xenados muttered these words one of the ten half human half beastmen stood up and angrily retorted.
“We’re not half-bloods!”
When the elves saw who the person directed his words to they pulled out their blades made of dragon fangs and pointed it towards the newcomers. Of course the person who stood up sat down immediately.
They didn’t need to think twice when they saw the blades, it may not have the shine of metal but the aura it releases proves how powerful it is.
“Dragon fang...”
One of the people from the group muttered, Xenados knew that he made a mistake when he muttered the words “Half-blood”. He knows how hard it is to be called such especially since these people look like they were in the same condition as the elves.
Brushing of his mutter Xenados threw them a question.
“Were you all thrown out of your respective villages?”
The people lowered their heads and recounted their story.
The group of people all were from the same village and they pretty much had the same circumstances as the elves. But unlike the elves these beastmen had 5 males and 7 females in their group.
It appears that the people thrown are the weak ones who have sinned, in this case their sin is being born, of course they had more leeway. Beastmen society focuses on strength, if you have beastman blood then you must have strength, man or woman would be subjected in a fight.
These group of half-blood beastmen were already sinners when they were born thus they needed to show their worth every single day.
Of course the women were all thrown away, in fact the village would find even the smallest flaws in what they did to throw them out.
The women were 3 cat girls, 2 dog girls, a rabbit girl and a lamia. The reason that there were more women than men is because of their appearance. The aesthetics of beauty to beastmen are furries.
They are called beastmen but it’s not wrong to call them furries as well, they look like overgrown animals who have some sort of human shape. When Xenados got a description of how regular beastmen look his face paled… the reason.
“Frightening, this world is frightening! To think that they did not develop much technology but their development in fetishes have reached this point….”
Those were his thoughts, why? When he got a description he couldn’t believe it so he asked the shade to look through the memories of one beastman and show it to him when he saw the memories he unintentionally vomitted.
Of course no one was sure why he vomited but the meeting was concluded and the beastmen were given their own houses.
While Antonia and the elves were trying their best to make the half beastmen calm and be able to live in peace with each other Xenados was in his room. Lying on his bed he stared blankly at the ceiling as he muttered silently, “To think that humans still have that kind of fetish… it seems humans’ no matter what time or world it is they would always be the demons of lust...”.
Xenados simply wanted to not think of what kind of human would have weird fetish to go through life and death only to rape a beastman… no they traversed far and wide and went deep in the dark forest only to rape animals!
Xenados went to sleep but before he did he kept a mental reminder and made sure that the system would not forget the reminder read, “Beware of humans, until you reach the proper age of 16 and have a normal build will you go there. Remember if there are humans in this world with a furry fetish already there are bound to be ones who are into little boys...”

“Haaaa...haaa”
In the dead of the night a woman was silently panting behind a stone house. Her fingers were digging in somewhere and her other hand was fondling her chest.
“What are you doing here?!”
“Oh no- kyaa!”
That night a woman was caught doing something indecent outside the house of Xenados, the elves as well as Antonia gave her a punishment.
“No please, I’ll accept anything but that!”
“Sinners will be punished accordingly!”
From that day onward for one month Ytha would never be within 10 meters of Xenados of course the one who would come running to Xenados about problems would either be Antonia, Kaylin or some shades. Xenados was curious what happened but payed it no heed instead thought it was a blessing for him.
