LEVEL EVERYTHING UP in my Eldritch Tribe

Chapter 38: Real world Tribe idea

Suddenly, Lyerin paused mid-step.

Corora and Cornelia, clinging to him, exchanged questioning looks.

Corora's eyes

Finally, the last woman, with a calm and composed expression, introduced herself. "I'm Natalie. My family is of modest means. I've always been passionate about dance and thought becoming an idol would let me shine. But I fell into the hands of traffickers instead."

Lyerin heaved a sigh of relief.

None of them were from the Borgias Family.

His hands would not be tainted today.

As the women finished their introductions, Lyerin nodded. "You have been through a lot," he said. "But now, you need to understand the reality of the world outside. The two traffickers showed you the cruelty that awaits outside, and I'm here to confirm that it's all true."

Corora, clinging to his side, nodded in agreement. "We barely survived outside," she added softly. "The world has become so dangerous now, I don't know what to do."

The women looked at each other, absorbing the gravity of the situation. Lyerin's presence gave them a glimmer of hope, but they needed to see the truth for themselves.

Lyerin continued, "Now, there's something important I need to know. How old are you all?"

The women glanced at each other, then one by one, they answered. "We're all turning eighteen this year," they said almost in unison.

Lyerin nodded, satisfied with their responses. He needed to ensure their age before considering bringing them into the ruined magical world and integrating them into the tribe he planned to build.

The relief on Lyerin's face was palpable. "Good," he said. "That means you're all old enough to enter the ruined magical world."
