The second main protagonist, Mad Dog.
It is said that at the age of five he left the herd with his mother. At first glance it is not at all easy to go from the Demon God Dog, a race that does not allow its fellowmen to leave the herd.
Although they were a demi-human type dog, they were more like wolves moving with the herd.
They almost never settled in one place, the Demonic Dog God was a race that did not really live in one place. They have four different residences that will be lived in under certain circumstances.
But at one time the chieftain disliked Mad Dog and wanted his life. Of course as a parent no one wants their child to get hurt. Therefore, both of his parents left the herd.
His father died while on the run, rather he sacrificed his life so that his wife and child managed to leave.
But the fight did not end soon. The Demon Dog God still continued to sniff their tracks so that no place was truly safe.
And, to survive they need money. His mother, Ellia, sold the body and did various types of jobs to survive.
How else would you like? He could neither hunt nor become an adventurer because the other dogs would sniff his tracks.
Year after year passed until Mad Dog was eleven. He who had witnessed his mother's struggle during the six years of the runaway period began to wonder.
‘Why would my neighbor want to kill me? What sins have I or my parents ever committed?’
No matter how much she asks, her mother doesn't really give her answer until Mad Dog doesn't care anymore.
She was only worried about her mother's condition getting worse day by day. His body was very thin unlike anything he remembered as a child.
His skin was pale white, his hands were full of bruises and even calluses that women should not have. It shows how hard he tried, and how hard he lived it.
Seeing her mother suffering like this made her even more wonder. Where did everything go so wrong?
“Why are we the only ones who have to be like this, bu?”
But her mother just smiled and gently stroked Mad Dog's blood-red hair.
“Because destiny. If fate has willed then we can only live.”
Mad Dog never accepted his destiny. Why was fate just cruel to him? He often sees humans his age can live cheerfully. No adult is as sick and sick as his mother.
Did fate just hate him even though he never made a fatal mistake?
“Why don't we fight him mom? Dad always taught me to fight if bullied!”
Again, his mother smiled weakly. It was a smile where Mad Dog became extremely weak and could not argue.
“Then you must be a strong son of mine, Seong Yohan. The world has good and bad people. You must be on the good side, meet good people and fight evil.”
It was a sentence he held firm until one day, his mother was beaten to such an extent. Just for dropping a few slices of bread his mother had to suffer like that.
Not to mention that due to overwork and dealing with things that should be avoided, his mother was exposed to a disease that was difficult to cure.
Mad Dog— Seong Yohan begins to look for ways to cure her. Until when he meets a noble who promises potions if he does various jobs for him.
But in the end after almost a year of doing it, the promised potion he never got.
“The world has good and bad people. But aren't all the people bad to me?”
For the first time in her life Mad Dog doubted her mother's words. There are only bad people who always betray and deceive them.
And that's where a Count in the Wizard kingdom vanished by a man in one night. The man with the bloodline of the Demon Dog God who destroyed a noble family for the sake of a potion.
It was from that incident that Seong Yohan earned the title known to everyone, Mad Dog.

Arcturus was wearing his precious robe, he had already obtained his destination in this place.
The nectar of life is in his hands. Just in case he plucked four flowers. Well, this material is not only useful for making Elixir. There are other benefits that he can get.
“I've got one ingredient. Blodwyn apparently already found information about the Phoenix.” section
Blodwyn's connection never once though Arcturus underestimated him. He knew the woman would get it sooner or later. Although Arcturus knew the location, he still wanted to test the speed of the information of Blodwyn.
Blodwyn also tells Arcturus through the Magic Projector, that he will soon be departing for the Tengu Empire.
“Maybe difficult but I know a noble there. We will enter without known by many parties.”
Arcturus was quite relieved about that but he was worried about Alda's state. Not long after he left with Blodwyn, Arcturus could see something had changed.
Starting from her much more feminine clothes and twin tail hairstyle which is not her typical style. Alda looked very red because Arcturus saw him with that appearance.
Of course, for Arcturus, whatever Alda looks like, beautiful is still beautiful.
“How long do you want to see?” Alda stared at him so sharply that Arcturus creeped all over his body before turning off the communication device.
That was just a moment ago. Now Arcturus is in preparation to search for Mad Dog.
“Everything is much faster than I thought. I wish I could make Elixir faster. It's for Mad Dog's sake too.”
No one could speak to that bastard but his mother. Mad Dog is the kind of stubborn one who punches people in the face before even talking.
For such reasons Alda is not devoted to this. Arcturus was unwilling to see the brutal fight between the main protagonists for the second time like his previous life.
“Young Master, everything is ready. We can go anytime.”
Arcturus heard Mary's voice from behind the door. He immediately put on the hood of his robe and walked out.
It could be seen Mary also wearing a plain white robe, and one other person smiling brightly.
“Never did I imagine going to travel like this.”
“You shouldn't do this, Leona.”
Arcturus's travelling companions increased by one man. To deal with Mad Dog, Arcturus could not be rash at all.
“This is important for the Ogre race as well as for me. Through this journey I will judge what kind of person you are, Arcturus Religia.”
Maybe Leona had a certain thought, but Arcturus felt no need to dig it up. After all, Leona won't be a piece of luggage. She's a strong woman.
“Then let's go.”
The next goal is to hunt a wild dog.
