This time I was in absolute emptiness. So absolute that I couldn't even feel my body. Before I could get scared, another system message appeared.
Mission received.
Listen to the message.
Reward: Access to the next level of the domain.
«What?» I didn't understand.
«Among the races of light, the annals begin with the appearance of the sexuality index, essence crystals, and the possibility of rebirth... In general - exactly what is commonly called «The blessing of the god of adventurers». The elves were the first to use this information,» a male voice that sounded vaguely familiar to me began to speak instead of answering.
The emptiness around me disappeared and I found myself in a majestic throne room full of sexily dressed elven women and elven men, frankly lost against the backdrop of sharp-eared beauties.
Some of the sharp-eared beauties, dressed particularly sexy, took turns approaching the throne with the local rulers and, apparently having been given some sort of assignment, left the hall.
«At that time, the main threat to the elves was from humans. Compared to the long-lived ostriches, they were reproducing at an incredible rate and colonizing more and more territories,» the voice continued. «The sexuality index and the presence of rebirth made it easy for the elves to gain the trust of the human rulers.»
I found myself in the palace and was able to watch a brief biography of one of the sexy elven women who had risen from concubine of some human ruler to full-fledged queen.
In the process, the sharp-eared elf was poisoned several times and even shot once with a bow, but she kept coming back to life and, after a while, reappeared before the king. Eventually, the elf was able to take part in a palace coup and, after killing the old ruler, bring his son to power.
«With power over the humans in their hands, the elves united the human armies and removed the threat from their lands."
I was transported to the battlefield and was able to admire the massive battle. The kings of all the opposing sides each had an elven woman as their consort.
«Realizing that this method was not reliable, the elves began to breed new races of monsters and then secretly plant them in the lands of the human kingdoms. At the same time, they made sure that there was a regular supply of essence crystals for the resurrection mechanism. And all sorts of related tasks...»
Once again I was transported to the elves and could admire a few sharp-eared beauties selflessly devoting themselves to the orcs and goblins I already knew. Well, and having had enough fun, with the help of prepared artifacts, you can easily destroy former lovers and collect the crystals that fell out of them.
«Towards the end of the first century A.D., the elves realized that they had overdone it a bit. And hordes of monsters managed to breed in the human lands, breaking the resistance of war-weakened warriors.»
This time I saw a huge horde of orcs and goblins storming a human city. After crushing the defenders in masses, they stormed the streets... Well, the rest of the picture was not much different from what I had seen live in Borderline not so long ago.
«Realizing that the horde of monsters, which had become too numerous at the expense of the humans, could be dangerous to them, the elves united the humans with the gifts of the god of adventurers. Thus, in the year 105, the first adventurers with the ability to resurrect and collect essence crystals appeared among the humans».
I was transported to a building that looked like a scaled-down replica of the Adventurer's Guild I had been to. In a relatively small hall, there was already a counter with a couple of receptionists (only elves, not humans).
They were taking some task from a familiar trio of a swordswoman, a scout and a sorceress that I had just met near the gate. Only this time they were very young and dressed in more ordinary clothes. And they didn't have any equipment....
«But as it turns out, even wise elves can't foresee everything. The monsters were no longer sent to the human lands, and they were in no hurry to destroy them, for they were useful to the Sharp-Ears themselves.»
The monster guardians relaxed, and in the year 125, a horde of orcs, goblins, and other creatures broke out of the largest research complex in the elven capital. Their former masters were unprepared for such a thing, and in just a few years the elven kingdoms ceased to exist. ....
In the throne room shown in the first scene, I could admire a crowd of monsters self-mutilating sexy elven women. Nearby lay the corpses of male elves and scattered essence crystals - the Sharp-Ears had sold their lives dearly. The elven rulers were nowhere to be seen.
«Some of the elven women, taking advantage of the fact that the monsters did not try to kill them, managed to escape and take refuge in the human kingdoms. This time, humans were no longer perceived as a threat, so the Sharp-Ears easily ended the remaining enmity between mere mortals. And then they organized the «United Forces of the Light Races,» intending to use humans to fight monsters. At the same time, they organized a magic academy to continue the research and training of strong magicians among the humans, in addition to the Adventurers' Guild."
I was transported to another throne room, very similar to the first one. Even the sharp-eared queen on the throne was clearly the same. However, there was not a single elven male in sight, and there were humans in the hall as well as elven females.
«The dark elves, who lived underground at the time, didn't see humans as a threat. But when their light brethren began to use monsters, they saw the possibilities. And having adapted the idea to themselves, they began to actively practice demonology. As a result, the end came much sooner for them. At the time of the fall of the elven kingdom, the dark elves were already under the rule of the Lady of Lust."
A huge and ornate underground hall came into view. On a throne sat a red-skinned winged demoness with a magnificent figure and huge wings behind her. And in front of her, a multitude of richly dressed dark elven women sat on their knees.
«The Lady of Lust did not have a strong army, so she hid her existence from the surface dwellers. When monsters reigned in the lands of the light elves, the succubus and demonesses sent to her easily conquered new territories. The Overlord's power grew immensely, and all elven lands became her domain,» the voice paused, then continued. «Because of this, some elven women were able to break free. But they didn't know the rules of the first level of the domain, and it was their frozen bodies you saw on the first level.»
I saw an army of orcs and goblins being built by a lone demoness. In the distance, a pair of tentacle monsters were selflessly fighting an elven woman.
«The demons avoided entering the land of men for another century. And the scouts sent by the elves never returned. In the 137th year, an army of the strongest adventurers gathered by the light elves set out to liberate the lands occupied by the monsters... Their frozen bodies, as well as the scouts you have already met.»
I was shown the moment when the trio of adventurers who had reached the gate suddenly froze, having fallen under the effect of the curse. And much later, the same fate befalls an army on the march.
«For many hundreds of years, these lands have been ruled indiscriminately by demons,» the unseen narrator concluded. Suddenly, a new, fierce intonation cut through his voice. «They are fury itself. Cruel, fearless, unstoppable, merciless. But you... You will be worse. Tear them to pieces until you've destroyed them all.»
