Chapter 183: Do You Remember?

" Betzalel..., how long..., time...flies? " Raksha asks Donovan, she begins to say human language word by word, not that good, but at least Donovan could understand her better.

" Yes, it's been a long time (Ages long, I guess...), Raksha... "

" How have you been? " Donovan asks her, trying to ask more from Raksha, about who she was along with Ragitor since his memories, his flashbacks didn't reveal much.

" We...both...family... "

" Us...flee... Elves... " Raksha tells Donovan.

" You flee from the Elves? the Elves raided your Orcish realm or land. " Donovan says as he knew the Orcs battle with the Elves, courtesy of his free time, talking with Tania about the Elves' culture including the Orcs, for the Dark Elves and the Orcs, are allied due to them being the 'Elves of the Night', hence, the 'Elves of the Day' hates them and demonizes them.

"( I see, guess the Day Elves are really that responsible for attacking the Night Elves, huh? )"

"( Did they really hate the night so badly, even dared to kill those who lived in the lands of the night? )"

"( Damn, these Elves, despite their noble appearances and status are just a bunch of racist massacres. )" Donovan says as he hears more from Raksha, after some time, he began to ask a question he's been itching to ask.

" How do you both know me, my existence inside the Double Dungeon, Raksha? " Donovan asks.

" No, don't think about knowing me, how do you even know the location of the Dungeon I was born from? Did you travel through the Gates? " Donovan asks which Raksha nods.

" Yes! the Gates...monsters...black creatures...come out... "

" Raksha, Ragitor... follow... them... "

" Enter... Dungeon... meet... other... black creatures... meet... Betzalel... " Raksha tells Donovan as he tells him, after she says that, Donovan begins to try and remember based on what she said.

"( So those Black Shadow Monsters who followed often came out from the Dungeon and went to other places...? )" Donovan wonders.

"( Hmm... no wonder the Dungeon inhabitant numbers are increased each time I see them back then, they bring more from the outside, interesting... )"

"( More followers, then... wait! )"

"( Those monsters who nursed me didn't make a cult based on me, didn't they!? )" Donovan wonders, he realizes that this might be possible for the fact his original name 'Betzalel' is revered so high as if he was some kind of a living idol for the monsters.

" I see then, Raksha... "

" So it has been a long time, then? sorry I forgot much about the past thanks to my 'human' life. " Donovan says to her, pointing at himself which made Raksha chuckles.

" Do you remember..., now...? " Raksha says, now she says it better for it seems she could connect the words more easily than before.

"( Her human speaking is getting better, that was fast for progress...? )" Donovan thought to himself as he hears this, realizing how intelligent Raksha might be for an orc.

"( Well, her relative, Ragitor could speak 'human' language fluently, which means the Orc race they came from is a highly intelligent one hence why the Elves eradicated them. )"

"( After many times of our leisure time talking about the Elf's history, I realized the Elves and the Orcs are highly related despite their rivalries over one another. )"

"( Which reminds me of some history lessons, where back then, before Ragnarok, the gods and demons actually came from one line, one race, which then divided into two as the battle between good and evil ensued. )"

"( A Holy Schism between the two, which is ironic since they were technically related to each other, such a sorry tale. )"

"( But speaking of that history, it is revealed that the battle between good and evil ends after the two races' battle, after that, it became the battle of ego, for both gods and demons kill and betray each other to claim a higher price, a history, a legend that still became a conspiracy until now. )"

"( Damn, how some things might've been awkwardly related sometimes, holly molly. )"

"( I hope this isn't the case with the Elves and the Orcs if this happened... )"

"( Then there's some chance that the history I thought to be just a myth, is true, for goodness sake..ugh! )"

< [Vague Memory Voices] Activated >

"( The gods and demons are chained to their ego, their desire, a trait they inherited to those below them... )"

...

" Gah! " Donovan gasps as he hears it.

" Betzalel? " Raksha asks as she sees him gasping.

" It's nothing, Raksha, I... " Donovan says as he hears more of the voices.

" I think I need some time to prepare before I do your uncle's request, I promised him to remember. " Donovan asks her as his mind is in chaos due to the voices.

" Betzalel... " Raksha calls him as she then picks up the scroll Donovan put beside him on the stone seat they're sitting and then tells him.

" Scroll, need... free... "

" My race... depends... map... " Raksha tells Donovan, she tells him that the map is vital so she and the other orcs could find a new home, far away from the Elves.

"( I see her worries, despite the Elves might not able to attack them since I destroy the device that lets them freely travel through the realms. )" Donovan remembers destroying the Elves' [Gatebridge Device]*.

"( But still, if I were them, I would never risk waiting for my enemies to recover their ways before I get myself to a safe place to prepare, which probably is what Ragitor thinks right now, hence why he gave me this to deal with the scroll sheathe's curse. )"

"( To think, the sheath is actually a beacon into a dangerous Dungeon Realm, now that's the scary part... )"

"( For if Ragitor explains to me, the realm that will be transported to is filled with Darkness and Demonic horrors, to think the Elves would place a trap such as these. )"

"( But I guess, I have to try, no matter the cost, this is part of the [Event Quest] which I hope could give me a lot of EXPs and rewards, that's what matters to me. )"

"( And also, doing this might've made a good alliance between me and Ragitor since I too need to know more about my early life in the Dungeon which I mostly forget, and Ragitor might've remembered more than me, that's what I wanted to know. )" Donovan thinks as he then wakes up from his seat.

" I'll take Ragitor's request, Raksha... " Donovan says while gulping.

"( I have the Keys, if I fail, at least I could flee... )" Donovan says as he contacts his Black Shadows within the [Shadow Realm] through <Link> as he prepares to do the Quest and activates the Scroll Sheath's trap.

< User Donovan accepted the Quest >

< Event Quest Commenced >

< The Scroll's Sheath activates its trap, transporting the User to the estimated Dungeon. >

< Dungeon Type: Disaster >

As Donovan was immediately transported, inside the destined Dungeon, exists a hellish realm, a realm filled with ruins of war and a red sky, the lands filled with blood rivers as the creatures battle to death.

(Inside a castle in that realm.)

" I sensed a visitor... " said a person covered by the dark shadow, with its red eyes, it sees the opened Gate into the very realm from the skies.

" That Gate!? Another Orc!? " it says as it recognizes the Gate's color, a maroon-colored Gate.

" I see they still want to lift the Curse from the sheath, such persistence. "

" Come then, I still like to play with you... "

" Before I and my people ravage upon the humans, I like to enjoy your futile attempts, stupid orcs," it says as he chuckles within its throne.
