Chapter 82: Jackson’s Secret (Part 2)
Jackson kept telling me the story of how the devils got to our world.
After Xalathas ordered all of his generals to conquer different regions, they all split up and did their work their own way.
One of those devils was called Jaterno, and he was tasked with conquering the Sephyr Kingdom long ago. However, this devil fell in love with the way people lived in this new world.
He enjoyed seeing how most people tried helping others in times of need, while in the world of demons, everyone stomped on each other to get ahead.
The new world felt peaceful and complete, so he didn’t see a reason to mess with it and even desired to live among them like a normal human.
This devil, Jaterno, would turn out to be Jackson, the man who had become my first friend after my companions.
The guy that taught me how to read the language of this world and the one that has supported me and kept my secret safe.
It was during those times that he met the knight Karla.
Karla was the knight turned adventurer who helped us fight against the goblin king and the only person in the world who knew of Jackson’s secret.
They had met during a mission where Karla was tasked with killing a monster. But when they arrived, they found Jackson had already completed the task.
After they became good friends, Karla didn’t judge Jackson for who he was and even supported him in his choice of wanting to become a human.
