In the tunnel's room
A space big enough for five families of six could be seen up front. Hundreds of doors to keep personalized stuff, make spooky rooms, have the game room, children's room, toy room, a personalized sex room for all adults, and too many more doors to count to make it a personalized family house.
Inside the double doors was not a family but the martyr and the two parents. He was currently being healed. His Shadow damaged from having too many close calls, too much stress from the Royal Princess and Rex, and the destruction that he knows he has not yet truly seen.
In the midst of his healing. He feels something different about it. Where he normally would feel his own Shadow just being healed. He could almost curse that his Shadow was no longer his.
"That is how we were able to have more than two children." The father spoke.
The martyr felt his instincts warn him not to speak a word about this. He knew if it did, everyone would curse him, beat him to explain, or outright kill him for blasphemy.
"Who else knows?" He asked.
"We did tell our daughter. I do not believe she would told anybody other than maybe the Royal Princess, otherwise she would have been outright killed." They spoke.
The martyr knew the Royal Family kept a lot of secrets. He hoped that this was not one of them otherwise how would they be able to keep this under wraps for so long.
Before he could get a breather, he got a call from someone higher than him. He barely could get out of bed currently. The parents did him a favor and leave.
The higher up came in and sat down. The higher up could tell that the martyr's healing had been greatly increased. The higher up did not know the secret to his healing.
"We have found a book about our past biology. Would you like to hear about it now or wait?" The higher up asked.
"I'll listen to it." The martyr could not refuse a little time. Or possibly sage this man from the destruction of Rex.
"Our original biology dates back to normal shadows covering a random planet. Each shadow different but the same. When used in higher tier magic that we can no longer access, we become sentient. Due to our course of evolution, our shadow cloaks have begun to accept other shadows as part of us."
The martyr guessed that this part was the part that allowed the healing to generate more offspring.
"However, due to our sentientence we became what our originators did not want. An army fully able to bite back. We did so with great vengeance. So much so, that most people do not know what happened afterwards. Even most records just talk about burning cities, graveyards being opened, crypts being absolutely robbed clean of everything including dust, but the weirdest part about all of this is the fact that they all had multiple children. Some claiming that they had almost 100 children before their death. That was a normal, low ranking family not a Royal or Elite family.
Do you believe in this?" The higher up asked.
The martyr had to think carefully about how he had to reply. Currently, the family outside could be considered a rare family to have three children. It can happen to some but not a lot. To have hundreds or even thousands of family members would be thr craziest thing ever to hear.
"I believe in the fact that our current situation lacks the proper education of how to have multiple children. I believe that once we truly utilize our true beings and can live past this upcoming War. We will be able to research this and find the proper claim." The martyr explained.
The higher up seemed to agree with the statement. He decided to summon the people outside. In came six people, five women and one man.
"These women are for you to research with the family. Use the family or yourself to achieve more than ten children. We have a private planet that we do not own but have been access to by the natives to allow families to live there.
You will head there tomorrow with everyone here. Anything recordable, anything special, or even just a bad feeling day. We want to hear it all during your time there." The higher up told him.
The martyr bowed.
"Raise your head martyr. You have proven yourself a loyal person in claiming righteous path in allowing the Royal Family to live in the depths of the shadows where you could manipulate them. Of course, we know that the Demon King of Annihilation came in and freed them all.
We cannot make out why or how he was able to get into the most protected world. We have sealed away all forms of Qi, Magic, and Destructive Nature in this world."
The martyr was worried that he would get killed because of the person taking forever.
"Well, I have a special place to go. I will disappear from your room now." The higher up tapped on his thigh three times and poof.
No dramatic exit, just blink and he was gone. The martyr could not think why but he felt that the women whom he was given to research was the women who were apart of the True Elite Families and those six are standing by his side.
