A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World

eyebrows and big eyes, with a scar at the corner of his eyebrow.

“Alex, right?” Rex looked at Mag.
There was finally a slight change on his face.

“I am.” Mag nodded slightly.

“It’s obvious that you’ve already understood some things, and could see where the problem of Ferdinand’s issue lies.”

“Yes.
A few months ago, the same thing happened first to Borg, an elf.
It was way more serious than what happened to Ferdinand.
We realized that the Holy Light had a restrictive effect on the black fog.
After that, it happened to Alfred, an abyss demon.
The black fog appeared on a small island in the Boundless Sea Realm.
All the animals there were hysterical because of the black fog.
We saw them eating and tearing each other apart, so we knew the possible effect of the black fog on normal living things,” Mag said calmly.
“After that, it was Ferdinand and Gary.
Their condition was very mild.”

“There have already been three cases of the black fog within just a few months?” Rex raised his voice a little when he heard that.

“Yes.” Mag nodded.
“We’re worried that this might be a negative signal.
If the black fog starts to appear in different parts of the Norland Continent, and we aren’t able to get timely information to remove it, once it reaches an uncontrollable scale, it might mean destruction to the Norland Continent.”

“A tribe covered in black fog meant that the entire tribe was wiped out.
If the black fog covers the entire Norland Continent, that would mean that the entire continent would be on a frantic killing spree… That would be way scarier than a war between races,” Rex said softly as his expression turned grave.

“Have you seen what’s within the black fog?” Irina asked Rex.

Rex’s eyes darted a little, and he appeared hesitant.

“If we want to stop all this from happening, we need to understand it more.” Mag looked at Rex, and said, “When I was at the Boundless Sea Realm, I was once entranced to enter a stone statue.
Inside, I saw a huge stone temple, a throne made up of skeletons, and a man whom I could not see clearly…”

“Back then, when we’ve just arrived at the Urba Tribe, we happened to see them in the midst of a scary ceremony…”

Rex told them everything that happened back then.
It was an unforgettable night.
Even though he had not mentioned the events of the day to anyone for a century, he could still recount the details of the scene.

“…they started frantically killing and biting each other, pulling children’s hearts out to eat.
And within the black fog, we… we saw a horrifying thing that we could not name.
It was just like a huge mountain.
Even a giant dragon would be as small as a mosquito before it…” Rex’s voice was shaking as fear showed through his eyes.

“We lay low on the top of the mountain, afraid to move, all the way until day broke and the black fog dispersed, together with the unnamed thing, before we went down the mountain.” Rex looked at Mag.
He paused for a while, pulled out a black stone box from his pocket, and passed it to Mag.

“This is?” Mag reached out for the stone box that was the size of his palm.
It was unexpectedly heavy, and he almost dropped it.

“We found this at their altar.
For all these years, I’ve never opened it,” Rex said.
