Deep within a vast expanse of flat, yet fertile land sowhere, a force, a kingdom of gigantic proportion that covers a massive land stands tall and proud, its strength, whether if it is knowledge and information or military might, stands among those at the very top.
Vast expanse of lush, golden crops that seems to tempt even the purest, cleanest of saints to fall into a life of luxury and greed, and moving across this fields with joy in their eyes are citizens, commoners who seems not to mind toiling underneath the scorching sun as the smiles on their faces show quite the opposite, as if they are enjoying their ti here.
Despite the smile on their faces though, anyone with acute observational skill will notice the fact that these people are ones who already have their bodies shaking, by tiredness or by anything else, only by them answering such question will anyone know, however, given how silent they are working despite the smile on their faces, one can only wonder whether these people will truly answer any question that might co their way.
Even if a curious person might not receive an answer from these people however, if said person will only look around, they will definitely be able to find sothing that will seal the nail on the coffin of this suspicion of peculiarity among these farrs, and that thing that the eyes must look for is an extrely conspicuous one, sothing that should've been noticed by anyone coming here in the first place.
Towering at nearly a dozen ter tall, a solid, transparent crystal with a purple tint float just a little bit above the ground, and despite this being its only noteworthy feature, there's just sothing that felt extrely peculiar, eerie, about the way that this crystal just floats in the middle of this place.
So of the farrs take a look at this structure every now and then with extre vigilance in their eyes, so not even daring to move their line of sight around the area where this crystal is located, while so people just rely treat this crystal as sothing that they will see in their everyday life, neither approaching nor avoiding this thing.
"They're really paying attention now huh…" out of everyone's sight, this crystal, the reason for the vigilance of most of the farrs, projects the very sa vision of the land towards a certain room, within said room, people of nurous size and shape gathers, so of them thin, so fat, so well build, so short or tall.
If there is anything that unifies these different people other than the fact that they are all observing everything that is being projected by the crystal, it is the fact that most, if not all of them were wearing lavishly decorated clothes, their eyes seemingly filled with disdain towards the people on the other side of the crystal, their gaze as if that of an owner barely satisfied with their properties.
"They should, they already know what will happen to them if they don't…" another voice speaks with a proud, certain tone in their voice, invoking the seemingly genuine, yet pretentious laughter of everyone else, all of them seemingly treating this as nothing but a way to pass their ti.
As the people continues to watch what is happening on the other side of the crystal, the laughter, the disdainful remarks towards the farrs, along with the clear show of superiority continues, all the people within this place finding nothing wrong about their actions, so even suggesting they should probably act again.
"Shouldn't we play around a bit more though? This is hardly as entertaining as really toying with those… creatures... I've been wanting to enjoy playing with them for a long while now"
One other voice speaks with a voice that is filled with a sense of obsession masking the absurd-level of derangent in their eyes, said eyes, gazing towards one of the workers in particular, hunger, greed, and the towering desire to possess flashing from the corner of their eyes.
So people who know this person better, couldn't help but follow where their gaze is, their eyes widening slightly as they finally had a look of the reason as to why this person is speaking with that kind of tone, their eyes glowing as well as twisted desires along with other dark emotions, mostly jealousy and envy, explodes from the depth of their hearts.
"Lyria is right, everyone, we've been working so hard to put this land into our absolute control, shouldn't we enjoy the fruits of our effort a little bit more?" another voice, once that ca close to the person who suggest this first, speaks, this speaker's feminine voice resounding all across the room as her confident, persuading tone made so of the people subconsciously nod, a smile forming on the speaker's face as they saw such action from the others.
"That's right, just one, maybe we should just have one to play around with here… that way it won't take too much of our resources, and it can be easily replaced as well…."
"That's a good suggestion, I'm all in for that!!"
"Hahaha!! as well!!"
"No way I will be missing this fun event!!"
As voices starts to agree to one thing within this room, one of the people sitting nearest towards the crystal smiles in anticipation, said person clearing their throat, this action alone silencing the others as they all directs their attention towards this person.
"It has indeed been a while since we truly enjoyed ourselves… perhaps we can really play for a bit now…" this person paused before directing their attention towards the person, the lady who started suggesting it all, this lady also staring at the figure as she tries to figure out what it is that this person is thinking about.
'I can't even assu that he's seriously praising , this guy is a nutjob, he might kill the next second if I'm not wary of him…' she thought to herself as she clenches her teeth all while her entire body tensed up as she sensed not only this other person's gaze, but also his senses locking down her entire body, causing her to sweat coldly on her back.
Before she can even continue thinking along the lines of her really about to die right now though, she was relieved from the pressure of the gaze, in place of the sharp, piercing expression now a jovial, accommodating smile, a smile that made her quite srized as she wonders just how can a person look like such devil one mont and then such an angel right after.
"Since it is Lyria that suggest such great thing to alleviate our boredom, I think it is only right that she's the first one to pick who it is that we're going to bring here, am I right?" this charismatic person asked, none among the other mbers, even the other people sitting the nearest to the transparent crystal, opposes, the overwhelming authority this person has seemingly far exceeding everyone else's, and by assumption alone, his strength should be far greater as well given how there is no one trying to contradict his words.
Hearing this, the lady who previously spoke couldn't help but feel a bit excited, this fact reflected as her verdant eyes glows in sheer delight, nodding towards the charismatic figure before directing her attention towards the crystal they are observing right now, a perfect candidate for this already on her mind.
'I really wanted to play with him all alone but… this might be better, I also want to see what expressions can such face reveal when subjected to the harsh reality of this world… hehe… hehehehe~~~' the lady thought to herself before she points her fingers towards one of the figures in the projection, all else on the room following the direction of her fingers only to see a person that they couldn't help but want for themselves and themselves alone.
Given that the suggestion is explicitly backed by one of the figures in the front row, and implicitly supported by the remaining people in the front row as well, everyone know that they shouldn't make such a greedy move, the might and power of everyone in the front row sothing that they wouldn't even dare to think of going against.
"Then, let's pick him~~" the lady nad Lyria said with a smile on her face and excitent in her eyes, her legs trembling the mont she decided to pick this young man that she had laid her eyes on, his expression, clear, cold and confident despite the restriction imposed upon everyone within the fields, sothing that she couldn't help but want to break, and even shatter apart.
"Great choice~" even the ones in the front row praises as they clapped their hands, admiring one of their companion, their comrade's choice, their minds already looking forward to this entertainnt, their eyes plastered on the figure that they had set their eyes on, his immortal-like deanor a magnet that pulls their attention in.
