“hmm?”
A building in the distance was burning. It looks like there was a fire. Eldras’ fire control system is excellent, and fires are usually extinguished within a few minutes.
‘It looks like an accident just happened, right?’
Out of curiosity, Sayer headed there.
☆ ☆ ☆
When I arrived, I saw that the building was engulfed in flames and burning. Onlookers were gathered everywhere, and many were seen calling the fire department. Some people looked at the top of the building with sad eyes.
“What about that?”
“I still have a child!”
On the 30th floor of a building, a small girl was crying for help. There was fire everywhere and it looked like it would engulf the girl at any moment. Even in this civilization that crosses time and space, accidents still happen and people still die. It looks like the firefighting system won’t be able to keep up in time.
‘If I leave you alone, you’ll die?’
Sayer activated magic.
“Fly.”
He flew through the air at high speed. Next, a fire barrier and an air circulation barrier are applied to the entire body. Sayer lightly stepped his foot into the flames. The fire that was attacking his tongue disappears in an instant.
It’s easy to get to where the girl is. He easily picks up the girl who is coughing and breathing heavily. Then, holding her, he flies into the air and lands lightly 30 stories above her.
He puts the girl down and asks kindly.
“Are you okay?”
The girl nodded frantically, with tears in her eyes.
“yes yes… … .”
Onlookers who were shaking their feet burst into cheers.
“I survived!”
“That guy saved the kid!”
Sayer looked embarrassed. He would feel proud if he risked his life to save something, but for him, a wizard in the 8th circle, this was so easy that he couldn’t even exercise before the meal. There wasn’t a single drop of sweat.
No, I was sweating. Still, I went in and out of the fire and was wearing a helmet, so of course I sweated.
Without thinking, really, Sayer took off his helmet and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
“Whoa… … .”
In an instant, the reactions of those around me changed.
“uh? that… … .”
“You’re a race of pioneers, right?”
Sayer’s expression hardened.
‘Oops… … .’
It’s a mistake. As I was using magic as usual, I forgot that this was outside.
Sayer flinched and walked away from the girl. And she looked around her with fearful eyes. Since she had already revealed her face, she could now put on her helmet.
Sure enough, people flinched and took a step back one by one.
“How is that savage here?”
“Who let Seonjujong loose like that?”
“Seeing that you are wearing a necklace, it seems like it has an owner… … .”
I carefully move away from Sayer while looking at the violent wild dog. Even though I saw him save that girl a little while ago.
Well, it’s not like I couldn’t understand their feelings. A primitive man with no morals or ethics does not know when or what to do. This means that even if you laugh out loud in front of your eyes, they might immediately swing a club at you.
Their fear is closer to caution than fear. It is no different from spotting a wild animal and carefully backing away.
Yes, I understand.
‘I understand, but… … .’
For some reason, Sayer spoke clearly to the girl again.
“Are you hurt?”
The girl looks surprised. The reactions of those around you also change.
“Did you say something?”
“You’re also very fluent in that?”
“I don’t know who owns it, but it looks like they trained it quite well.”
Prejudice is truly scary. It’s definitely amazing to see it in front of you, but that doesn’t change how you view Sayer like an animal.
A bitter laugh came out.
‘Ah, as expected.’
Sayer put his helmet back on without saying a word. And he turned his back without saying a word.
Use magic to instantly fly into the air. People’s voices can be heard faintly in the distance.
“Now that I think about it, didn’t you just use magic or something?”
“Hey, they must have used some kind of tool. “How do animals use magic?”
☆ ☆ ☆
The indigenous peoples were established as a specially protected species.
No matter how primitive the law was, no matter how much it was enacted for political or economic reasons, it was a fact that both the politicians who enacted the law and the good citizens who approved of it knew that they were people. Even though I called them animals, I couldn’t really treat them like animals.
The habitats of indigenous species were institutionally protected, and mistreating or hunting indigenous species was severely punished. Is there a saying about crocodile tears? It was just a pretentious act, but the immigrant humans still had this level of conscience.
However, as time passed, the social atmosphere gradually changed.
Even if it is institutionally protected, the place where the indigenous species lives is clearly a ‘habitat’ and not a ‘living place.’ The act of killing the Seonjujong was also ‘hunting’ and not ‘murder’. A system that was merely a legal basis has suddenly become a widespread social atmosphere.
Social atmosphere sometimes exerts a truly frightening power. Just as the custom of considering it shameful to even expose a woman’s feet or legs has changed to not being shameful even when wearing a bikini swimsuit, people’s perceptions vary greatly depending on the social situation.
Those who said, ‘No matter how primitive they are, they are still humans’ changed their words, saying, ‘If they are that primitive, they are still animals.’ A few brave entrepreneurs captured the native species and put them on display in zoos. Most citizens also went to the zoo to see the native species without feeling anything special.
Although educated people raised their voices and criticized this, the zoo only cheered at the increased number of visitors.
As social awareness changed, related crimes began to emerge little by little.
No matter how legally, morally, and cognitively the indigenous people are viewed as animals, their appearance is similar to that of humans, and naked women, regardless of their content, are enough to arouse s*xual impulses just by their appearance.
And humanity was a species that treated and sold fellow humans like animals according to their desires. Such crimes continued in ancient times and the Middle Ages, even when civilization developed and advanced to the point of entering space.
Naturally, the demand to use the indigenous peoples to satisfy their shady desires gradually increased.

A square screen shines in a dark room.
“Let’s watch today’s video!”
The host of an ordinary entertainment program emits a pleasant voice. And soon the screen changes.
A girl with pointy ears and a beautiful appearance was walking down the street in a dress. While walking down the street, he bumps into a glass window, makes a blank, pained expression, and then starts walking again.
When I finally arrive at the store, I immediately grab an item and go to the counter. When the clerk asks for money, he opens the wallet around his neck and whines. Then, out of frustration, he takes off his clothes and holds them out. It means to barter.
The entire screen laughs out loud.
“Ahahaha!”
“Cluck cluck!”
It was a program for adults where the shipowner race was asked to run errands and then watched their reactions. On the surface, it takes the form of a documentary, but in reality, it is just a sensational broadcast showing the naked body of an indigenous girl.
Sayer, who was looking at the screen, nervously changed the channel.
That program is still pretty good. Already in the shadows, an adult video using the indigenous race was making the rounds. It is said to be a wild mating scene and is popular with enthusiasts.
There were quite a few people who used smuggling routes to illegally purchase native breeds and keep them as pets at home or use them as Dutch wives. It’s not for nothing that the girl who was saved by Sayer naturally found her owner first.
Obviously, the indigenous race is a protected species, but not all humans originally live by abiding by the law. The habit of peeling pumpkin seeds has clung tenaciously to a corner of the human psyche even now that motherhood has died out, we have advanced into space, and have settled into a new world. No matter how much civilization develops and spiritually evolves, sadistic and instinctive impulses still exist in a corner of the human mind.
And, the situation was not much different for healthy programs.
A documentary program appears on the changed channel. It is an educational program that brings you closer to the indigenous tribes living in nature and informs you about their habits and ecology.
There is a group of indigenous people living in nature. They were carrying stone axes and wearing animal skins, and at least they looked human. However, this scene was broken by the scene that immediately followed.
The ancestral lords and sects fight among themselves. They swing stone axes at each other, shedding blood and tearing off flesh.
Afterwards, the victors cheer and reach out to their opponent’s corpse. He brings the flowing brain fluid to his mouth and forcefully tears off the red-hot raw meat.
There is no roasting or anything like that. Their civilization has not yet developed to that extent.
The scene of cannibalism unfolds along with the phrase, ‘It may seem cruel, but this is just the natural law of survival of the fittest.’
Sayer muttered in the darkness.
“Yes, beasts are beasts… … .”
Looking at that, even Sayer himself can’t possibly recognize them as people. Those who are of the same species as you.
‘But then what am I?’
Sayer covered his face.
He was definitely a beast. He had to be a beast himself, as all who had the same blood as him were beasts.
But he was intelligent and wise. He knew shame, reason, and was able to distinguish between life and death.
Although he was an animal, his soul was more human than that of a human.
“Aaaah!”
Sayer let out a scream. The boiling anger exploded into meaningless screams.
Well, it would have been better if they had been beasts from the beginning!
It would have been nice if the brothers and sisters born with him could live without knowing anything like them!
“Aaaah!”
Passion becomes power and is physically embodied. His mind influences matter itself and becomes a gust of wind that sweeps through the room.
“this.”
Even in the midst of excitement, Sayer gathered strength. Soon, he calms down his boiling emotions, calmly calculates the spell, and tidies up the disorganized interior with magic. If Sayer shows signs of being unable to control himself, the lab’s restraints on him will become more severe.
“Whoa… … .”
Looking back at himself, who had calmed down in an instant, he shook his head. He found it absurd to even think to himself that the emotions that had been boiling for so long could subside like this.
A bitter smile came out.
“I am… … “You can’t even become a beast.”
☆ ☆ ☆
Sayer’s life did not change after that.
In fact, this is not the first time he has felt frustrated and hopeless. It just piled up and built up, and eventually my anger exploded. No matter how frustrated he was, the original race was still a beast, and he was still just an experiment in the laboratory.
Nothing has changed in life or in the world.
Rather than going out anymore, Sayer spent his time lounging around in the lab. In the past, there was still a purpose to learn magic, but after reaching the 8th circle, even that disappeared.
The 9th and 10th circle spells are terrifying magic that cannot be easily approved even for immigrant humans and can shake the entire world. There was no way that this could be allowed for Sayer, who was merely an experiment. In fact, the current state of affairs was delivered with great difficulty by Dr. Metheus after lobbying hard.
I was so bored that I thought about taking the path of a magician who would study magic anew. However, Sayer’s talent was specialized for rapid acquisition and mastery. He did not have the talent of a magician to create something new through research and experimentation.
As a result, I find myself running out of time uncontrollably. I wasted my time just eating the food they gave me, locking myself in my room, engrossed in network broadcasts, and consistently practicing magic and physical training that had become my habit.
Meanwhile, changes occurred at Metheus Research Institute.
It has already been 100 years since Sayer lived at this laboratory. Most of the researchers who worked for him when he was a child have already retired and are enjoying their golden years, and the researchers have changed several times since then.
Even during that long time, Dr. Metheus was still by Sayer’s side. He was a person who had eternal lifespan through an immortality treatment, and had already lived for 1,400 years before arriving on this planet. Just 100 years or so is only a small portion of his life.
