OH MY GOSH! OKAY PLEASE PLEASE READ! IT'S SO INTERESTING! I heard about TPN Ch. 181.2 and 181.3 and I really wanted to read it. They all provide such interesting background information on some holes we didn't know about in chapters 1-181. PLEASE READ IT! Especially 181.3! Here's an amazing thing. Isabella was raising some of her subordinate's children! I'M AMAZED! It also confirmed what Ray had inside the note he gave to Sister Krone! Okay... Here's the link for 181.3, the website has the other ones as well.

     Y/n clenched her fist. "We have come to reforge the promise."

     "Okay."

     Y/n froze. "What..?'

    "Alright, what do you seek?"

     Y/n looked at Emma who was equally as dumbfounded. Y/n held her hands up. "Woah, woah woah... You're not gonna like... make us fight that dragon for it or something!"

      "I'll give you what you seek, but you must give me a reward." He finished.

     (Long summary of the past)

     Humans and demons still fought to the death constantly. Casualties were countless on both ends. There was no sign of hope that the battling would end anytime soon. One man in a clan of elite fighters proposed a peaceful solution to his comrades. "We'll offer up a portion of humans... what do you think?" He asked them. His plan went as them sacrificing villains and or slaves. In addition to the people who worship the monsters. The man went silent as his comrades laughed at him. "This isn't like you." They said. "That's not what a leader what do at all." "Rational, but sorely lacking in morality."

     The man continued to get drawback form his comrades on the proposal. The fighting continued to go on after one announced they were almost finished. However, victory can be snatched from one side at any given moment. Especially... when dealing with Archduke Lewis. When the man was the only human left alive on his front, he requested to Lewis that he be taken to the leader. Once he did his business, he returned to his worried and concerned friends and comrades. He brought up his proposal from earlier. The further in depth he went, the further his comrades drifted. Although the man wanted peace and no more death, the heaviness was too much for his friends. He insisted that the suffering would be over once they made the pact.

     "What about all of the suffering that will happen to those we offer up?" One proposed. "Will their offspring, generation after generation, follow after them? All four 'our' peace, the pain and suffering they will have to shoulder... Will just continue to swell, with this one, singular decision. Is that not the case?"

     His comrades continued to discuss. They each desired to continue fighting for their desired future. Folding now was unthinkable to them. The man of course was of course conflicted. Conflicted as to go with his friends or the deal with the demons. Once he found out that he nor his comrades would bend to each other, he gave up. He gave up his friends' lives. Allowing the demons to barge in and take his friends. His longtime comrades of battle were the first cattle of the twisted world.

       The demons and humans took their pact to him. The two species desired for the world to be split in two. The demons were required to present their best meat. Meat better than the king would get. Nothing hidden from him. As for the humans, the man would have to be a gatekeeper. He and the rest of his clan must ensure that peace between the two maintains. He was not allowed to escape. He could not escape from the friends he tossed away nor his fate. As his friends being the first cattle, he also became a foundation. Julius Ratri. The first gatekeeper between worlds.
