[System can teleport the host to a place far away. After going there, the host needs to kill its netizens and gather their \'cores.\' According to the grade and quality of the core, the system can give the host the \'shop points,\' which the host can use to buy the stuff in the system\'s shop.]

"What place?" Max asked, curious.

[Before that, the host should know about some things.] The system spoke in a deep voice. [If I\'m not wrong, what I\'m going to tell you now is something the host should have found out about after becoming a three-star mage.] The system paused for a moment once more.

"Oh? What\'s that?" Max frowned and recalled when Elder Jack wanted to say something but eventually didn\'t. \'Could it be?\' Max became even more curious.

[Our world is very vast. So vast that the current you can\'t imagine it and is home to several races such as humans, beasts, Elves, etc. One of the strongest and most feared races is the demon race.]

[Although the newborns of the demon race aren\'t much different compared to humans or some other weak races, they are feared because they possess the ability to become stronger by killing and absorbing the powers of other races...] The system hadn\'t finished speaking when Max suddenly exclaimed,

"Demons are real?" He was stunned. Although he had encountered elves, one of the mythical races on earth, he had never thought that demons, the incarnate of all evils, were also real in this world.

[Yes, they are.] The system replied in an amused tone.

"Then doesn\'t it mean that we... are in constant danger..." Max gulped, and an expression of fear appeared on his face. If the dark mages were already so cruel, it could be imagined how vicious the demons, whose methods the dark mages were imitating to become strong, would be.

[Let me finish, host.] The system rebuked before Max could indulge in his fantasies.

[A long time ago, when there was only one enormous continent, and all the races were living together, the demons became too strong after killing countless creatures of other races, and some races like the elves and humans were on the verge of vanishing from the face of this world.

Under the threat of annihilation, the \'supreme existences\' of various races joined forces to annihilate the demons. Subsequently, a war broke out and caused much destruction. After many years of fighting, the demons were defeated under several races\' joint forces, and peace finally returned to the world.

However, who knew that it wasn\'t going to last? After a few ten thousand years of recuperating, the demons emerged again; this time, they were even more ferocious and stronger.

The \'supreme existences\' of various races had to join forces once again, and this time, they vowed to eradicate the demons, not letting even one survive. However, the reality proved otherwise. The supreme leaders of demons were not inferior to them in strength, and their numbers were more significant than theirs.

In that second war, many supreme existences of the various races fell one after another. When they realized the situation was becoming hopeless, the surviving supreme existences used a heaven-defying spell formation, knowing they would die as a side effect of using it.

Thanks to the might of that spell, most of the demonic supreme existences were annihilated. However, the experts of other races knew that the same situation would repeat a third time or even fourth as long as even a few demons survived.

Therefore, before they died, they used that heaven-defying spell formation again and divided the continent into two parts. The part that was the habitat of demons drifted into the boundless ocean under their might.

The reason they did this was to ensure that even if demons regained their former strength, it would be difficult for them to start another war with various races because of the distance between the two \'continents.\'] After speaking till here in one breath, the system stopped speaking, letting all the information sink in properly.

Max was stunned after hearing this, and only one thought kept repeating itself in his mind, \'How powerful the people capable of dividing an enormous continent in two would be?\'

However, he realized that the system didn\'t address them as supreme mages but as supreme existences. Was there a difference between the two?

"System. What do you mean by supreme existences? Were they supreme mages?" He asked as his eyes flashed with bright lights.

[...Most probably.] The system replied. However, Max could sense that it wasn\'t sure about this.

\'How amazing it would it be if I became that strong? Almost no one would be able to threaten the people around me or me.\' Max took a deep breath to calm his surging emotions and asked,

"C-could it be that the place you\'ll send me is that second continent?"

[Yes.] The system replied in an emotionless voice.

Hearing this, Max\'s expression froze, and he had an urge to curse the system out loud, but since this didn\'t have soundproofing formations, Rima and Leticia would be alerted, so he heaved a few deep breaths and replied coldly,

"No thanks. I\'ll earn LPs, although it would take some time." After hearing how dangerous those demons were, he would be a fool to agree to the system\'s suggestion.

The system didn\'t reply instantly and then asked, [What if I send you to a comparatively rural place? You won\'t encounter many three-star demons there. As for those who you would encounter there, their strengths would be more or less equivalent to that dark mage from before.]

"Hm?" Max\'s eyes flickered as he heard the system\'s words. If that was the case, he could go there and as long as he was a bit careful, the danger would lessen considerably.
