Evan expanded his settlement through his own efforts, and in doing so, he also created better development opportunities for other settlements.
In this situation, the despair in the settlement decreased significantly, and the darkness and fear gradually dissipated.
Conversely, the emotions of light, hope, and the future—emotions that are extremely beautiful for humankind—are constantly increasing.
For most of humanity, this is a good thing, but some people are unwilling to see such positive changes, such as these black-robed figures who are plotting to destroy the settlement.
The space they were in was completely dark, yet these people seemed unaffected, communicating and moving with remarkable ease.
If someone were to shine a torch here at this moment, they would discover that these humans are not quite like normal humans.
The skin was even paler, almost the color of a dead person, and the black veins stood out starkly against the skin.
The main body of the eyeball is black, but the pupil is white; otherwise, its appearance is not much different from that of a normal person.
Did they mutate? No, that's not accurate.
As is well known, the people of Peros face endless darkness from birth to death, and must strive to live for their own tomorrow.
In such an environment, most people can only avoid mental breakdown and survive by holding onto hope for a bright future and using that perhaps impossible beautiful world as motivation.
However, some people do not hold onto hope, and some people do not yearn for the light.
The Dark Order—the identity of these mutated human groups.
If a person harboring darkness survives long-term exposure to darkness or is injected with external dark forces, they will undergo a special mutation.
A voice from the darkness tells them that they can be reborn if they submit and pledge allegiance.
They made contact with the great being in the darkness, and the power of darkness flowed into their bodies. Warmth and light vanished, leaving only darkness and cold.
Gaining darkvision and superhuman strength sounds great, but what's the price?
They lost most of their human bodily functions, lost their ability to reproduce, and their bodies were constantly enveloped in cold. When they tried to warm themselves by touching flames, the intense heat could not dispel the dark chill within them.
I still need to sleep, but as soon as I close my eyes and drift off to sleep, endless fears will come from all directions.
Their minds become unstable and they are prone to losing control. They may even suddenly attack each other, and the Dark Devourer still sees them as prey.
That great being in the darkness will also slowly devour their souls, especially their fear and despair, and if it so desires, it can even kill these believers directly.
Their souls were sealed, making it impossible for them to commit suicide through their own will.
These mutated humans are still alive, but it's no different from being dead.
The new life is a complete scam; they are simply moving from one kind of death to another.
How did the original members of the Dark Order come about? There are many theories. They may have been members of an exploration team who lost their way, were trapped in a dark passage, and were at their wits' end.
It's also possible that a certain community failed to control people's hearts, allowing deception, hatred, despair, and chaos to permeate it.
Ultimately, people oppressed and slaughtered each other, and in the process of destroying their settlements, a group of Gu Kings were raised.
