Zin was a renowned monster throughout the Hollow Lands, but he held a special place in the eyes of other Black Threat Level monsters, just like himself.
They were all rivals, competing against one another. These were the Elders, the Fangs, and the unranked monsters, who were usually stronger than all the rest.
However… Zin was so far above them all that, gradually, everyone began to think of themselves as unworthy of becoming stronger.
This effect could occur among both humans and monsters. In this, they were alike.
Sarka and the other Fangs didn't have much trouble with the fact that there were monsters in the Hollow Lands stronger than them or that they weren't the most powerful Fangs. That was something they understood and could work on.
But… Whenever Sarka or someone else mentioned Zin, there was always silence.
