Glossary

Due to comments that readers were confused, we will be clarifying background of the story, as well as some terms used.

Background

Infral is a world that exists in the same universe as the one we live in. Trade relations between Earth and Infral have been around since the Shenzhou XXI found it on a inter-galaxy exploratory trip.

Infral is populated with about 55 billion inhabitants. These people are spread across 3 continents, each conveniently ruled by a fuedal lord. The social structure of the 3 societies is simple: one lord, some servants, many slaves.

Among the lords, The Dark Lord is probably the most feared. Actually, little has been seen of him. The other lords are Lord Who Rocks and Lord Farquhar.

This story narrates primarily the journey of Ray and his compatriots to free Infral from the rule of these lords.
