Kapitel 441: The Primate Council

"You have defeated our champion in combat, a rare feat; even more so, you showed benevolence in sparing his life," the macaque told him, "therefore, you are now our new champion, Ren." 

"...Pardon?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. 

"Forgive me, I haven't introduced myself," the macaque bowed his head, "I am Rohan, one of the elders of the Umber Cloud village." 

Even with an introduction, it only left him with more questions than answers as he now found himself helplessly perplexed. The injured ape lifted himself back up, standing beside the much smaller elder as the other primates joined alongside them. 

"Umber Cloud village…?" 

Rohan nodded, "Yes, it is our home in the Bareaminon jungle. It is where all of our kind live together to survive the harshness of this cruel land. We're the 'Velren', we're not monsters of Purgatory."

Before he could ask any further questions, his stomach interrupted his mouth with an audible grumble.
