Chapter 1638
“I will give you the knowledge you seek, Deek.” Calypso began, not giving any particular attention to her previous reveal.
I wasn’t that surprised though. I wasn’t a descendent of the humans that came from that dungeon. I was inexplicably brought there through some kind of teleportation. I never really understood why I ended up in Faerith, but I understood why I wouldn’t be one of those connected to the human core. From the moment the fey mentioned getting rid of resurrection, I wondered if such a skill would even affect me. After all, I had my unique mana signature. Most of my girls weren’t human, and those that were had been altered by my dungeon to the point where I didn’t think they’d be hard to pick out during a resurrection.
“Alright…”
“However, there will be a cost.”
“What’s the cost?” I asked suspiciously.
“This power… pushes you into a position above others. You will have governance over all humans. This is something you shouldn’t abuse.”
I gave her an incredulous look. “You’re one to talk about abusing power!”
“I’ve done a lot of things, Deek, but I have never abused the power that came from that core. I have never declared myself a ruler of men, or tried to enslave the human race. I could have done many things, and yet I stepped aside for most of history.”
I wanted to argue with her, but she had a point. If she was the human king for all of these years, she could have been in a far greater position than she was. Instead, she remained rather low-key. Perhaps, she played at being a bandit and played and being a pirate, but that was rather minor compared to the power she could have used and abused.

I also started to wonder what had brought her north to the demon realm. She had eventually been forced to become an incubator to the child Aberis. Was she up there trying to end the war between demons and humans? She had only become the bandit king in hopes of fighting against the demon lord Aberis, and she also happened to become a pirate on the seas just as an invasion began. Perhaps, I had never understood her true intentions from the beginning.
