Malthus' home planet is called Rafika.
On his planet, everyone is like him: strong, burly, ugly, and probably equally bad at math. They probably count using their fists—anything over ten just doesn't happen.
He told me that even if everyone on his planet is the same there is one distinction between them.
Their horns.
In Rafika, not everyone has horns on their heads.
Only the strongest of the residents have horns.
Also, in Malthus' family there is one custom that only applies to the eldest son.
The custom being:
To acquire as many planets as you can.
Malthus had said before that this planet was his last one and he also said something about the core.
But damn, his family is weird. Weirder than those incest hentais. I never really liked them—just kept them in my research folder.
Anyway, after Malthus revealed all this, he shared the most heart-wrenching twist near the end of his story.
The horns I had cut from his head? They weren't his.
