The dark world is a hidden region that provides a place for humans and other creatures to interact.
But that doesn't mean this dark world is very safe and peaceful, even otherwise, here is a dangerous place, a region for criminals, outcasts and criminal groups to interact with each other.
Not only humans only live in the dark world, there are also races of Elves, Dwarves, demons, and other non-humans. They came to this place using a teleportation circuit, where all were connected to each other in various places across the continent in order to enter this place.
They make a dark world for doing business, selling illicit goods or making requests to each other . One of them is the bandit Olopus, they make the dark world a base and receive evil missions from anyone.
Until now Zen only found out that Hanna, the head of the bandit Olopus was the mother of Eri.
"I haven't seen you in a long time and you don't look bigger, Eri. Are you eating well ?." Ask his mother with a pity.
The glance of Hanna's eyes was not looking at Eri's height. But more towards personal assets that he considers pathetic.
Eri is also aware of the innuendo, as well as there is a big difference between mother and child about body shape.
"I was offended by the way she said it, when it was five years ago, did I have growth problems." Eri was upset.
"Yes I don't think it's a problem, don't worry about anything, you will definitely get bigger after getting married and having children." Hanna smiled with encouragement.
"Are you sure ?." Eri felt with great enthusiasm.
"Hopefully."
"Please don't give me hope." Eri was back to limp.
Zen who stood beside them was certainly speechless, he assumed that the head of the bandit group Olopus was a troublesome and arrogant figure. But after seeing Hanna, all her imagination seemed to be freefalling.
"So who is this guy you came with?, Friend?, Business partner?, lover ? Or my future daughter-in-law ?." Hanna asked seriously.
Eri's face suddenly turned red, she looked nervous to answer a question from Hanna...."Don't just talk mom, she's my teacher."
"Why do you look confused, I just want to know."
"Then don't think of useless things." Reply Eri was upset.
"All right."
Apart from the conversation between the mother and child, now Hanna was present for the purpose of asking about Zen's business affairs.
"So what brings you here boy?, if you want to apply for a dowry, I don't agree yet." Reveal firmly.
"That's too far, I came here with the intention of asking you to lend me a series of teleportations to the Lomania union." Zen replied as he wished.
"Is that all ?." Hanna's face looked disappointed.
"I have no other business."
Hanna was not like she was going to reject Zen's request, but she also had not agreed to it. Walk closer to each other right in front of the face.
There was a meaningful smile implied in Hanna's expression... "You should know, the bandit Olopus doesn't give everyone's request for free, even if you're an acquaintance of Hamza or my future son-in-law."
"Yes I know that, I offered you 200 gold coins for you to accept this request."
"You really know how to do business, I'm glad that Eri found a good guy." Good in the financial sense.
Naturally as the leader of the bandit group, Hanna was unwilling to let go of Zen's offer, two hundred gold coins was of high enough value to just escort them through the teleportation circuit.
"Although I was in a hurry, but I also wanted to look around this hidden region. I was hoping to find something interesting to buy." Zen.
The dark world presented something that came from all corners of the world, there might also be many items and rare items he could find.
"If you intend to find something good, you can go to the auction place, there may be interesting items." Hanna.
"Oh. Good then."
"But I remind you of one thing." Look at Zen like he's threatening.
"What is that about ?."
"Don't you ever harass the three ruling powers in the dark world, or you'll regret it." The answer.
Explained in detail by Hanna, if the dark world is controlled by three groups who are the main founders.
First, the Sanziu bandit group that holds great power in crime in the western continent.
Second, the Gouna demon race, one of the oldest demons that existed in the early days of the creation of the world of Dios.
And third, the dragon-man tribe. It's not about the origin of their presence, but dragon humans have powers that are incomparable to other creatures.
"Do you understand ?." Hard Hanna asked like giving a warning.
"Yes I understand." Zen replied quickly.
Zen must understand that the bandits of Olopus themselves are only a small part of the dark world, even though they have a famous name in the kingdom of Zorgan and its surroundings, but if faced with three major powers, they are, it means nothing.
In the Dark World every creature of all kinds performs activities unknown to time. When they are tired, it becomes an hour of rest.
Zen did not immediately go out, he had been exploring the forest all day and fighting against many demonic beasts, so this time he wanted to rest himself.
Bandit Olopus gave Zen and Eri a room together, because their headquarters was not a place of lodging so that every other room was filled by every sleeping member.
In the room they occupy....
"I don't know if your mother is the head of a bandit group." Zen said with a strange smile.
But Eri complains, she doesn't want to know...."I am not the same as you Zen. She was a mysterious woman, I met my own mother only five times and she spent more time going to work."
"Then what about your father."
"He still lives in the city of Ser Din as a farmer." Answer Eri.
"I didn't expect you to have such a complicated family."
"That's how it is, I didn't expect much, so I decided to become a Hunter without needing their approval."
"At least you can meet your mother now."
"But this is an unpleasant meeting." Grumpy Eri.
Without thinking about the bed, Eri immediately put herself on the bed and covered her body with a blanket.
Likewise with Zen, he took the left side of Eri and they slept together without fussing over things.
