"Well done, well done!" The hamster clapped at the top cabinet before he rolled down his body to the table and subsequently the ground. "Did not expect those chickens to see me when I took their eggs. I thought I could grow a few chickens of my own! Hahahah!" Hamatarou laughed at his own misfortune as he revealed two oversized chicken eggs from the depths of his furry body.

"How did he keep all those things inside his body?" Qiu Yue wondered looking at Lynn as the other gave her a deadpan stare.

"I've only come to visit this world twice before. As if I would know such stuff." Lynn replied as she took the bodies of the Horned Chicken via the Sub System. She was informed that signs of Body Restructuring had been detected inside the creatures. It advised Lynn to wait until the chicken reverted to its original sizes before processing it.

"Interesting. Are you a shaman too?" Hamatarou asked and ignored the Penguin Chieftain Skitter who was kneeling in front of him.

"You don't seem to be a particularly good host. I suggest you answer the person who is requesting your audience first." Lynn answered with a bit of annoyance in her words.

"Ah! Sorry Skitter! I did not see you down there." Hamatarou laughed loudly as he took out another exact copy of the Totem of Atem for them. "Just as promised you ten years ago. Here is your new and improved totem. According to my research, I predict that with this improved one the generation after the next should hopefully not even need this. The same routine, go to the Altar of Giants to recharge its powers every once in a while."

"Thank you, Sir Hamatarou!" Skitter expressed his gratitude as the rest of the penguins knelt and bowed in front of him as well.

"No need to be so humble. You did earn it, especially after my impromptu task of killing the horned chickens. Now if you don't mind, would you introduce me to your two companions? They seem quite capable. I regret to say that I have yet to encounter any members of their species in our world." Hamatarou requested.

"Other species? No, you are mistaken Sir Hamatarou, they aren't from anywhere around here. Lady Lynn graced us with her presence suddenly. She is actually from another world." Skitter replied.

"Another world? Well, I am surprised you appear to believe them so readily. I admit that I have never seen those strange vehicles they rode, nor the weapons they used. Still, that does not mean they hail from another world. This might as well be some long lost technology or magic." Hamatarou remarked as he suddenly became suspicious.

"It is true, Sir Hamatarou." Kido took the initiative to speak. "I've been to their world and the others had served Lady Lynn in her quests."

"...Hmm okay. Assume that I'm interested that I want to see that world for myself. Will you bring me along as well?" Hamatarou said in a wishy washy manner.

"Sure, but you will have to sign a contract with us. The short version is that you will have to serve us at our times of need." Qiu Yue immediately took out a contract form and showed it to Hamatarou. The Sub System had managed to write it all in its native language based on what it had learnt about the Penguins.

As she wanted to hand it over, she noticed, that there was a bit of discrepancy in their sizes, but the hamster immediately used his own totem of Atem to turn the same size as Lynn and began to read the contract.

"Interesting. So, I will have to go into combat against other members of your species?" Hamatarou questioned, and Qiu Yue nodded her head.

"That is most often the case. However, it may also turn to you battling some species you have never seen before. If you have other talents to provide, we can also change the contract to something more suited for you. In return, you will experience at least our own world, and maybe others." Qiu Yue listed their demands, and Hamatarou was deep in thought.

"Sounds like a very unfair deal." The hamster concluded, and Qiu Yue shrugged her shoulders.

"Well, you will practically become an interworld traveller with our help. It's not something anyone can offer you on the spot. Additionally, we will provide you with decent food, entertainment and a place to stay. Not to mention, if you work for us, we will pay you some credit in accordance to your results to get better food and the chance to train yourself to self betterment. If that is not to your liking, we also offer knowledge you may never learn otherwise." Qiu Yue added, and Lynn could not help but cringe at her promotion of a contract.

"Anyways if you don't like it, it's not like we are keeping you forever. The duration of the contract is designed for a three month provisional stay. If you like it, you can renew it or turn it into a permanent contract. " Qiu Yue was basically trying to hard sell it to the hamster. The penguins, on the other hand, shared their own experiences with the sceptical hamster.

"Fine. I trust the penguins more than you guys. And I am really curious to see how other world looks like. You are right, such an opportunity may only come once in a lifetime, but I am unable to leave for three months. One week. That is all the time I have before I have other matters to attend to." Hamatarou bit on his paws and was ready to use a drop of his blood to seal the contract.

"Agreed. For starters, please tell us more about this Giant World." Qiu Yue told the System to rewrite the contract, and upon verification, the hamster sealed the deal.

"Very well. Long story short, I am a druid. Which is also why I am able to provide these totems to the penguins. This place is just one of the meeting places that I had set up as a haven for the various races that wish to survive this harsh world without being affected by the Giantism Virus. Follow me." Hamatarou ordered as it grew larger once more and indicated the rest to grab onto its fur.

The hamster opened the door with much ease since it was on par with its enhanced size, and jumped up to the roofs as soon as it was out of the house. Lynn and the others saw only a part of the entirety of the ruined city that they were in. It wasn't until Hamatarou reached one of the watchtowers that they saw more of it.

"When I told Skitter ten years, I was not joking. You have seen that I can control my size, but the transformation is not permanent and has its limits. Even at my largest, the city remains vast and huge. It took me a year alone to get the totems to different races like the penguins here. After which, I had to travel using stealth to other small towns and cities to share with them."

"So there are other sentient races as well? Why are you doing this?" Lynn asked, and apparently, others who lived far away from the penguins within this city. The turtles, walrus, crocs, frogs as well as other different penguin settlements.

"I need all of them to get stronger so that we can eventually prepare for an exodus from this cursed city," Hamatarou said as they were jumping from one roof to another.

"Exodus? Leave this city? Cursed? Why?" Lynn continued to ask as Qiu Yue grabbed on both her and Hamatarou's fur.

"The city has long since been depleted of its food stock. The giantism virus had infected almost everyone that lived in this city. While the different tribes are procuring their own food, there is only so much they can grow and survive." Hamatarou sighed.

"I am trying to find a place for all these people to live and thrive, a mass exodus of the most capable warriors and talented beings who will follow me to find such a sanctuary. I heard of an island beyond the sea that should have an abundance of food and animals still on the size of the penguins. This meant that they can live there." Druid Hamatarou announced its plans to them.

"Is that why most of the races that you savedare amphi
