Game Transmigration: Saving the World Again 1000 Years Later (ON-HOLD)

Chapter 78: Crowmen and Silence

"What's your name?" William looked at the person kneeling in front of him and asked.

"As a member of the Crows, I don't have a name. I can only call myself the Crow Feather Prophet."

William frowned slightly and continued asking, "How did you know I would be here?"

"My lord predicted your return and ordered me to welcome you here as well as congratulate you," the other party continued respectfully.

This was the first human William met who knew his identity after transmigrating.

Or rather... someone inhuman?

"You're a Crowman?" William looked at his crow-like round and deep amber eyes and asked.

"Yes, Presiding Judge," the other party maintained his previous posture and replied.

"But I remember that the Crowmen were killed in that purification a thousand years ago."

Crowmen weren't like humans or elves. They were intelligent creatures that originally existed in Currere.

They were the product of a curse.

It was said that the Crowmen first appeared in the 20th year of the Platinum Calendar not long after the creation model of the Seven Holy Spirits was proposed.

Back then, there was a group of scholars who had set a grand goal of understanding the essence of the Moon Realm. They firmly believed that the Moon Realm wasn't a direct product of the creation of the Seven Holy Spirits, but a more complicated formation principle. Moreover, they believed that this path could bring them true eternal life. For this reason, they began a lot of research on the Moon Realm and went far enough down the rabbit hole.

It was so far that it angered the three Void Sovereigns.

The Whispering Empress, the Lord of the Dark Tide, and the Pale Poet.

The three Void Sovereigns gave them eternal life.

At the same time, They cursed them.

The Whispering Empress made the threads of the conspiracy forever connect to their eyes. They could deduce countless cruel fragments of the future because of this, and the countless tragic possibilities would torment them forever.

The Lord of the Dark Tide tore through their original souls and sewed blood and shadows on them, causing their emotions to constantly switch between bloodthirsty madness and depression.

As for the Pale Poet, he gave them a physique that constantly brought bad luck to them and their surroundings as long as they existed in the world. From then on, misfortune and calamity would always accompany them.

These three curses complemented each other. Extreme emotions made them anxious to change the terrifying future they saw, but the bad luck that surrounded them always pushed the future toward an even more miserable state.

This cycle repeated.

Despite obtaining eternal life, they had to endure eternal torture.

Most of them broke down and degenerated into monsters before being killed. A small number learned how to control their minds and not be driven mad from the torment. They survived and even learned how to use the power of the curse for their use.

These people were the Crowmen of the future, a hidden group that could see the future uncontrollably. They could use shadows, blood, and their rage as weapons and bring misfortune to their surroundings.

They were considered bizarre and ominous symbols on the continent and were even categorized as Lunar Monsters.

On the eve of the Moon Realm's first full-scale invasion a thousand years ago, the seven kingdoms, with the support of the Holy Spirits Church, launched a cleansing campaign across the continent against the Moon Realm curse to eliminate the latent dangers in Currere.
