TOP SECRET: Adventures in the Dark Continent

"This city is really very different ... I never thought that I would see children in a dangerous place as this" Liu Yang commented in a low voice as he walked the city streets and looked around.

Some children ran and played in the wide streets and were full of pedestrians. Their clothes were common and some were dirty, but nothing that would take away a child's purity. They were smiling and having fun.

Liu Yang imagined that these children belonged to the people who live inside the mine. His guess was right, there were a lot of things hidden about it.

"Children, now, it's time for lunch. You must go back" A cheerful voice was heard.

Looking towards the voice, we can see that a woman dressed in a nun's clothing came out of a stone building. She was a beautiful young woman full of energy.

The clothes of fairs were a little tight in the area of ​​the breasts, waist, and buttocks, this increased the size of their feminine charms.

Looking at the fair, Liu Yang found it a little strange. Because it is not normal for a nun to wear such clothes.

(Is it possible that nuns in this world wear sexy clothes too?) Liu Yang thought.

When he looked at where it came from, Liu Yang saw that it was a simple but large church.

(So ​​there is that kind of thing in this world too ...)

In the previous world, it was very normal to see churches in cities, but Liu Yang did not think he would see one on the Xinia Continent. Now, he understood that the two churches must have some places for the faithful to pray.

"Yes, Sister. We are already going!!" The children screamed with joy. They were already very hungry.

The group ran into the church.

For some reason, children playing in the streets can disturb others. But nobody complained.

(This church must have a lot of influence within the city, otherwise, the people around would be punishing these children. So that's it ... This is one of the orphanages that belongs to the Saving Light Church) Liu Yang looked at the sign at the entrance and saw the written name. 

(I remember that Millia had said that these orphanages within the cities in the mine are to welcome abandoned children or dead parents.) Liu Yang remembered what Millia told him about the Saving Light Church.

Most of the children are children that prostitutes had when they had sex with nobles or powerful adventurers, but as that nobody knew about the pregnancy until the first month when the special day of women does not arrive. The attempt to find out who is the child's father became very difficult because, in one month, women have many clients.

After the birth of the children, women let them in the care of the orphanage. Sometimes some prostitutes care about their children and always pay a visit, but they avoid commenting on their work.

Many of the prostitutes in the city are slaves who were sold by other people. In other words, they did not have the freedom like the others who only work as prostitutes to survive.

When the exit door is opened, women, who still have their freedom, take their child away with her. For it is better to live outside than inside the mine.

On some occasions, noble families go to the mine to try to locate possible lost children. They may be future heirs to the family.

Since these children were usually in the orphanages of the Saving Light Church, many noble families thank the church for their help. They gain many powerful connections by doing this.

If someone is interested in adopting the child, he can do that. But you need to see if the child will want to leave, too. If something is forced, it will have some problems.

When children reach adulthood, that is, sixteen years old, they leave the orphanage because only children can continue to be supported inside. Sixteen-year-olds need to get out and live their own lives, many of them leave the mine and explore the world. And some of them will return to the mine in the future to get their mothers out of the brothels.

The most beautiful children of all were taken from an early age by adopters, but the fate of these children is not very good. The little girls had a worse future than the boys, they are very beautiful in childhood, they can become great beauties in the future. Because of this, the girls were taken and trained by slave sellers to be special slaves.

The boys also end up in the same situation, as they become sex slaves to noblewomen in special brothels for women.

It was not just the nobles who were interested in children, the military men from various kingdoms also wanted them. But only those who had good skills and determination to grow and become stronger.

Those who had that kind of determination were the ones who wanted to leave the mine to get money to get their mothers out of the brothels or those who want to change their lives for something better. These two types of people were the ones that the military sought most.

Because if the person has a powerful ability, but he has no desire to fight. This makes it a little useless.

Normally, children with powerful and rare abilities were taken to be sold as slaves. These types of people are highly sought after by big shots to be subordinate.

This was the dark side of orphanages.

On the outside, the orphanage may seem welcoming and kind, but the dark side was terrifying. For the Saving Light Church, orphanages serve to show the kindness and good side of the church, but it also serves to make a profit. 

The Dark Destruction Church also had these orphanages, but there was no brand or name for them, as there was no need to do that. They just need to do it without showing what they are doing.

How can the two sides have orphanages and other types of business, but neither is destroyed? Both sides know about these places.

The answer is simple.

However lunatic and murderous a person may be, a person would never kill pure and innocent children who cannot do anything to defend themselves. If someone did such a thing, he would be considered worse than a beast. Not even a person can be called.

Thus, the two churches do not attack each other's orphanages and charities.

"I think it's a good thing to look inside." Liu Yang murmured. He was curious to know what that orphanage was like.

(When I have my territory, I will build something like this so that abandoned children have a place to eat, sleep and play.) Liu Yang swore.

In the world outside the continent, Liu Yang has seen many similar scenes like these. But not all children were lucky enough to have a plate of food to eat and a warm bed to sleep on.

As he could do that in this world. He will try.

(I think this is what those idiot assassins feel when trying to do what they never did to improve their lives) Liu Yang thought about the instructors in the initial village.

They are imprisoned murderers who were sentenced to death but had a new chance at life on the Dark Continent.
