"Do you ever wonder what the reality of the outside world is like?" The crossbreed suddenly asked.
"The reality of the world outside? What do you mean?"
Lily stared at him in confusion. She could guess that he referred to the other solar systems and planets ruled by the hyumankin, but Lily still didn't understand his question.
"I guess you don't." The man smiled.
"You're probably taught about how magnificent the world outside is, or how amazing the society out there is. Of the prosperity that exists without comparison, and the peace that thrives just like the lotus on a lake. Of the strength the practitioners wield and of how the hyumankin advances step by step, facing no solid obstruction nor observing any pause. Taking it one step further, you're made to believe in how there is equality and justice, and how every race or species are treated the same, whether victor or vanquished.
"What a joke." The crossbreed scoffed.
1/2 bonus chapter.
I got excessively drowsy last night and couldn't continue. I took a leave today, so I'll try to get the second bonus chapter as well as the three chapters for today up before the day is over.
