After sipping the warm tea served by the mysterious woman before me, I opened the conversation with a question that had been lingering in my curiosity.
"So, on this continent or island… what kinds of races live here?" I asked as I gazed out the open window of her house, which revealed a thick forest shrouded in a thin mist.
She smiled gently. "There are a few main races. Lycanthrope, Vampire, and Demon. Oh, and Demons are different from Devils."
Her words made my left eyebrow arch. "What's the difference?" I asked again, still trying to align this world's concepts with those from my own.
She leaned back in her chair and slowly spun the teacup in her hand, as if trying to find the best way to explain. "Hmm… how should I put it… Demons can be either good or evil. Some Demons live peacefully, even helping to maintain the world's balance. But Devils… they're purely evil. No exceptions. Their very existence is like a curse upon this world."
