Chapter 19 - *#?$@%8

It looked liked a normal hut, a window facing the courtyard, a chimney pumping smoke, blue roof tiles and lots of flower plants greeted them. The door opened automatically as if inviting them to come inside.

The inside of the hut was plainly decorated and had only important things. A sword was kept on the mantel of fireplace. Greeted with sweet fragrance of cookies that most likely came from the kitchen. 

An old man in his mid fifties wearing an apron was busy taking the cookies out of the oven. He had long silver hairs tied in , pale complexion, light green eyes and thin body. Seeing Sam and Cain staring at him he gestured them to sit and placed the cookies in front of them. "Please don't be shy, take how many you desire". 

"Thank you", Sam took one and put it in his mouth. Cain also took one and after smelling it for anything funny also put it in his mouth. How delicious it was can't be described in words. "I hope you like it" saying this with a gentle smile, Sam wondered if he was God .

After finishing cookies they all sat and it was time for business. "Ask and I will try to tell you to the best of my abilities". Cain was the first to ask, "Who are you and what is this place?"

Clearing his throat, the man replied "My name is *#?$@%8, hmm sorry I forgot to give permission", Sam and Cain were flabbergasted at his behaviour.

"Okay I will introduce myself again, my name is Chronos and I am a demigod. This place is my territory humans describe it as lower heaven. I invited you here because I had somethings to talk to Sam".

Hearing his name came up Sam who was eating cookies wiped his mouth hurriedly. "How do you know my name?"

"I told you that I am a demigod"

"What is a demigod"

"Hmm a demigod is a being of higher astral plane and different from every mortal creature. We are responsible for working in our territory"

Cain had heard stories of demigod, how they were masters of land and would work in shadows. They were the ones that disturbed peaceful times by stirring wars and would them enjoy the destruction. They were a notorious bunch and held immense power. 

"So what business do you have with me Mr Chronos?" 

Cain was amazed at Sam's ignorance about the situation. With a wave of a hand Chronos teleported both himself and Sam to outside under the shade of a big tree.

"I know that you do not belong to this world. Aren't you curious about your transmigration. What about the voice in your head that is so arrogant and proud"

Sam nearly slipped from his seat. Regaining his composure Sam asked how did he know about all this.

"You were transmigrated for a purpose. Since long times Demigods have ruled over their territory leading it to prosperity and wars. They were quite satisfied with this until one day a mortal found the way to gain power equivalent to us, Demigods.

Not pleased with this Demigods declared a war and wiped that kingdom off the map. But the mortal was intelligent and had sealed himself in a book that was lost in time.

Demigods can't meddle with the fate of person not of this world, so when that person was awakened he transmigrated a soul for his purpose of revenge".
