After putting on clothes that didn't fit him particularly well, Aarons slowly began to practice walking again with the help of a man who claimed to be a demon.

There was no apparent injury on his body, but every part of it seemed as if it was newly replaced - not only was his body not very obedient, but every movement he made was also very awkward.

"Take your time, don't rush. More than half of your body was burned beyond recognition, so it's normal that you're not used to it now."

"...Can I survive that situation?"

"Wu... Your sister's ability is very special. She should be the best in the field of healing injuries. But she also spent a lot of energy to save you. You have to thank her."

My sister Aarons still doesn’t feel real.

His memory was still blank, so he didn't know whether he had a sister or not. But if the other party really had no relationship with him, he probably wouldn't save his life.

So I should really thank my sister.

"Okay, I think that's enough. If you're still afraid of falling, take this crutch."

After practicing for a while, Aarons finally mastered how to walk again. Then, he followed the demon man named Locke out of the room.

Perhaps because he hadn't been outside for a long time, the sunlight outside seemed quite dazzling - but soon, he regained his normal vision.

Only then did he see the full picture of this place called "sanctuary".

"awesome……"

This seems to be a basin surrounded by mountains - a well-stocked river flows down from the nearby mountains, giving this isolated land unique resources.

However, the huge village built around the river looks quite retro in appearance.

"No, it's far worse than outside. But we don't demand much in terms of living conditions... For us, being able to survive in this world is already a good thing."

Although Aarons had no memories, he still knew what the current human world looked like... and this village looked like a primitive tribe.

"Have you always lived here? The Demon War...how many years has it been?"

"The life span of demons is about three to four hundred years, so people like me are already the fourth generation. However, the resources here are limited, so the population has always been around a thousand people."

The demons from another world were a very powerful race. Not only did their physical abilities far surpass those of humans, but the innate magic of each race was also far more sophisticated and detailed than that of humans at that time.

If humans had not paid a huge price to attract brave warriors from another world, civilization might have come to an end long ago.

"I see... No humans outside know you're here?"

"This matter is quite complicated... You should ask our manager for details. First of all, the manager of this shelter is a human being just like you."

This was indeed a very interesting matter - but Aarons always felt that he had become accustomed to this kind of strange development, so he was not too surprised by it.

But Locke didn't seem to notice his mood change. Instead, he led him slowly along the river, greeting the villagers who appeared from time to time.

"Yo Locke, is that the human that was brought back?"

"Yes, I will take him to the caretaker."

"I heard a few days ago that the barrier was damaged again. Is your security team okay?"

"I'm just about to go and ask the manager about the situation, don't worry!"

The villagers here are indeed not human - all of them have strangely shaped horns and pointy ears, and some even have exposed fangs.

However, there was only curiosity in their eyes when they looked at Aarons, without any malice.

"Don't worry about it. We rarely have humans here...so everyone is just a little curious."

"Yeah, I can feel it."

"The manager's residence is in front... Your sister should be there too."

Although the distance was not far, for Aarons, who had just recovered, just walking this distance with crutches almost exhausted all his strength.

When he walked up the hill next to the village, panting, a girl with a strange appearance came into his sight.

——She was a slightly petite inhuman girl with red and blue fluorescent light reflected on her hair, pointed ears and scarlet snake-shaped vertical pupils.

She was only wearing an ill-fitting, loose robe, with no coverage below her thighs... but apart from her slender and slightly fleshy legs, there were three things that looked like tails or tentacles sticking out from the bottom of her robe, swaying constantly from side to side.

——Is that your sister?

"...brother?"

When she noticed Aarons coming, she immediately ran to his side.

"Brother, it's okay, that's great."

"You are……"

Aarons didn't remember having seen such a girl before, but before he could ask, a mysterious power immediately surged into his brain.

——This girl is indeed his sister, and her name seems to be... Yalu?

"My sister... Yalu?"

"Yes, brother. I am, your sister."

"Uh...are you really brother and sister? Oh no, I mean..."

Looking at the somewhat strange interaction between the two, the young demon Locke couldn't help but reveal an embarrassed expression.

However, after being glared at by the girl, he decisively shut his mouth.

"Brother, what are you doing here?"

"Uh, Ms. Yalu, your brother can't remember anything now, so I brought him to the manager to ask about the situation."

"You go back, I'll come and accompany my brother."

Although Aarons didn't know the identity of this girl who was obviously not human, after seeing Locke leave with a look of panic on his face, he felt that his sister might be an important person here.

But none of this really matters... Now he just wants to know who he is and why he came to this place.

"Brother, the demon clan's manager is right here."

"Oh... by the way, I heard that you saved my life... thank you."

"It's just a small matter."

There was no change in expression on the girl's face, and her tone of voice remained calm.

However, the three tail-like tentacles on her back were twisted into a ball for some reason, and it looked like they were... shy?

"If you have any questions, go ask that person."

The small dome building on the hill was not too far away from them, so Aarons did not hesitate any longer and immediately took the girl there.

However, he always felt that the faint mist that had been covering the area seemed something he had seen somewhere before.
