Under the 'Black Tree', a boy with Pitch-Black Skin is surrounded by monsters made from the Blackest Shadows.
" Gugu... " the boy of Shadows, plays with his toys made of wooden bricks.
" Le.... "
" Gohhhh....le... " the boy of Shadows says as he then realizes the Black Monsters coming into him.
" Betzalel, haruna kushna... " said the monster, telling the boy that the Hellorcs are coming to see the rumored 'Betzalel'.
" Gu...? " the boy of Shadows asks, he then see tons of Hellorcs, warriors, and priests that come into him with their white robes.
" Betzalel, yui haf kam... ta yu... " said the Hellorcs as they all bow before him which made the boy of Shadows, 'Betzalel', confused as they lower their body into the ground and chants his name.
" Betzalel... "
" Betzalel... "
Among the Hellorcs, one Hellorc girl comes, one that covers herself with white robes as she was the little one amongst them all, which caught 'Betzalel's eye as he sees her and luckily the little Hellorcling sees his gaze too, which made the little one startled as pull back her robe's hood and show her white sharp and glimmering medium hair, four ears in her head, and bright red scarlet eyes.
" Betzalel... " she says which made 'Betzalel' stand up to see her more clearly at that time.
" Hmmmhhh... gugu...? "
...
( At present. )
< Passive Skill [Flashback] activated >
< User 'Draven' is remembering the past, the past that faintly reappears after meeting a Subject related to that past. >
"( This girl, this Hellorcish girl, is that... girl!? )" Draven thinks in his mind, re-checking the Hellorc robed girl's appearance to the one in that memory again.
"( Her hair, her ears, and her eyes, are all the same... )"
"( But, it couldn't be her, isn't it? must be a relative or somewhat? )"
"( For based on what I remember back in that Dungeon, during my infant years, I think it has been years for me as I often see those who met me grow instead of me before father bring me out from that Dungeon and became a human. )"
"( There's no chance that this girl is the same in that memory, or... )"
"( Hmm... )"
"( How should I ask her? I can't speak a Hellorc...? )" Draven thinks about this as the Hellorc girl, the beautiful Hellorc, then touches his hand and calls Draven 'Betzalel' again.
" Betzalel, atis yu O Betzalel... "
" El Betzal, tu ting A mit miu gin. " said the girl with whatever she was saying.
< User Donovan is confused >
< Confusion +1.000.000 >
"( Confused!? System!? )"
"( You knew I can't speak or understand any monster's language despite I remember having friends with them back in the Dungeons!? )"
"( But speaking about that!? )"
"( I never thought in my mind that these guys could even talk!? or have a language anyways!? )" Draven says as he talks to the System.
< " Of course, User can't... " >
< " User's talent on monster language is more efficient in understanding Lizard-like monsters, like the Dragons... " >
< " Remember that Dragon, 'Grimdark'...?" > System mentions Grimdark*, the Dragon's soul Draven freed from Draco Nyx Noctera back then before he had this 'Draven' persona nonetheless.
"( Really? Wow? Thanks for the info, System. )" Draven says, understanding how the hell he could talk to Grimdark's soul back then.
"( No wonder I somehow could understand it, gee, I understand it now... )" Draven thinks to himself, as he wonders about it, he then frees his hand from the Hellorc girl as he tries to communicate using his gesture as says.
"( Do we met, before? )" Draven asks, using some of his hand gestures, hoping that the Hellorc girl will understand.
The Hellorc girl sees the gesture as she look at it in confusion, as well as the Hellorcs behind her.
" Pyun? " they said, which Draven thinks they are confused which means.
"( Great this doesn't work, they don't understand shit! )"
"( Now how am I supposed to communicate with them... )" Draven thinks about this as he then knocks his head with his hand, hoping the knock will jumpstart the brain to get any memory or idea that could help him right now.
As Draven is thinking hard, about it.
" Hmmm..., young master? " Reala calls him as she raises her hand, she calls Draven as he almost forgets she is there.
" Oh, uh, Reala..., what is it? " Draven asks as Reala then approaches him.
" Would you like me to translate it for you, young master? " Reala asks.
" Of course, ya can translate- "
" Wait, ya can translate it!? " Draven shouts as Reala tells him that she's a Black Shadow Elf, and speaking of the race, Elves and Orcs originated from one root, the Ancient Elves.
" I could use some of the Star Elf languages understandings to at least understand some words she meant, young master. "
" This is only my futile attempt, for I believe big sister Tania would've been the appropriate one to speak this since she's a Dark Elf, a close elf relative to the orcs. "
" Sadly, Tania is busy, she's investigating some other Dungeons that currently appear before we enter this one. "
" Damn, I choose the wrong option this day, what's going on? " Draven asks, as he felt this day is the most awkward and misfortunate day he's in his life.
"By the way, Reala, go translate some for me, okay? " Draven requests as Reala began to talk with the Hellorc girl as the two girls began to speak to each other.
"( <Passive Skill [Alvinguange]>... )" Draven says as he remembers that Reala's [Alvinguage]'s skill is around level 4, just three levels below Tania.
"( I hope with that level, she could at least translate what the Hellorcs said, after all I had- )"
" Already done, young master! "
"( WAH!!! )" Draven was shocked in his mind, but still, he maintains his surprised reaction, by keeping his cool posture.
" Well done, Reala...! "
" I knew ya could do it! (I actually don't) " Draven tells her as Reala translates everything she gets from the Hellorc girl while Draven can't get his eyes off her as he sees her more.
" Her name is 'Raksha', young master... " Reala tells Draven.
" She told me she was once a priestess that still worships the 'Black Hand Tree of God'... "
" And it's very avatar, the 'Shadow of God', 'Betzalel'. "
" You, young master, Dono- I mean, young master Draven. " Reala tells Draven which made the System show something.
