1 Prologue

{A suitable vessel has been found! Soul merging has been initiated!}

**********************************************************************************************************

[What a beautiful sky!]

Slowly opening his eyes due to the light that was disturbing him, the first thing Evan thought while looking towards the sky were words of praise directed at the beauty of nature before his eyes.

Evan's body felt heavy and even opening the eyes was difficult for him. His body was laying flat on the ground as if he has been in this position for some time.

He tried to move his body, but it didn't seem to want to listen to him and he felt as if he was paralyzed. So far, the only thing he could do is to stare at the sky, when suddenly Evan got shocked and started to mumble in his mind.

[What is this thing…The old man really was saying the truth??!]

There was a huge Bird in the sky just 30-40 meters over him, and the bird was more than 10 meters in size itself and even more surprising was the fact that there was somebody on the bird itself.

Evan didn't have enough time to see whether there was someone on the bird or not because it moved too fast for him to catch that, but due to the booming sound that reached him right after, he understood that the bird landed close to him.

[Did it land because of me…?! Hopefully not..] – Evan tried to cross fingers in case he jinxed it which obviously he couldn't do, however, the stepping sound from the bird that was getting even closer almost made him to start cursing which he really didn't like to do.

[Ohhh, you sun of…no, no, I can't panic…think Evan, you are a smart fellow, you can't die a second time right after you crossed over to another world, there has to be a way, maybe I should pretend to be dead…well I am already doing it, but it seems that is exactly what caught the bird's attention!!!] – Evan's was panicking, as he was thinking how to find an exit from this dangerous situation.

Hearing the bird getting nearer at a higher speed as if it was running, and not being able to come up with any counter measures, Evan was despairing. He then took a deep breath and calmed down.

[Sorry old man, it seems I can't fulfil my promise to you, I guess it was destiny, nothing I can do about it!] – Evan started to a show a week smile, which was actually a progress to his condition.

A huge bird head came into his field of view. It looked like an eagle head, it had completely white feathers without a single trace of black and the bulging huge eyes contained a hint of sanity. It looked straight into Evan's eyes while slightly tilting it's head at a small angle from time to time.

[Well birdy, I guess nothing can be changed…Oh man, I really hope it won't too painful, but looking at it's sharp beak that is not likely the case. Who would have believed a few years back, that I am going get eaten piece by piece by a huge bird, that looks like an Eagle] – said Evan in his mind looking at it. Surprisingly for Evan, in the face of death before him, he kept a certain amount of calmness different to when he died the first time.

He closed his eyes and was waiting for the expected pain to come. A few seconds later, he felt how his chest was touched by something, but the pain never came. Instead he started to hear rough breathing next to himself.

"Heavens, what has happened to the third prince, how is it possible, he is barely alive?!" – Evan heard a woman's voice.

"Poison!?...Oh my God, it is Heavenly Snake's Green Soul Poison, there is greenness all over his body, at this stage, his soul should have been dissipated long ago, how can he be still alive?!..." – The woman's voice was flustered, shocked and even more so, worried.

Evan with difficulty opened his eyes again. Before his eyes was a beautiful blonde woman's face in her mid-thirties, she was wearing knights gear made of steel on the top and short steel skirt of similar design over leather trouthers, which couldn't cover her beauty and womanly charm. She had a worried look on her face and was actually surprised when Evan opened his eyes.

"Prince Julius, are okay, can you hear me…!?" – hurriedly asked the woman.

[Huh, It seems my luck wasn't as bad as I thought, not only I didn't die, but got to talk to such a beauty. Wait a minute, did she call me a prince…and the name is kind not bad, Julius…hahahaha….not bad, not bad at all] – thought Evan in his mind looking at the woman in knight's attire.

"Do not worry beauty, your prince is fine!!!" – this is what Evan intended to say while winking at her. But what the woman heard and saw was just a series of strange moans and a weird one eye blinking.

It turned out that Evan couldn't even speak now, that's how bad his condition was. The was poisoned with one the most dangerous poisons which dissipated the soul directly but surprisingly his mind was very clear. The person who has poisoned him must have hated him to bones, an enemy who couldn't exist with him under the same sky, since only that kind of person would use such a cruel method to kill. The person would turn into vegetable straight after the intoxication and then melt at fast rate at the end turning into a green paste where not even a body was left bury. But strangely enough for the woman, Evan's situation was actually getting better the more time went by.

What she didn't know was that the prince Julius she knew was no longer, and Evan took over his body. And since the poison dissipated his soul, it actually made easier for Evan to take over his body.

The woman didn't waste any time, she gently hugged Evan and jumped to the bird's back. She was moving as fast as possible because of the danger of the situation, however she hasn't forgotten that prince's condition was very peculiar, so she tried to do it as gently as possible, she even placed his head onto her laps. The woman was very worried and because of that she couldn't notice the satisfied look and barely noticeable smile on the prince's face.

[What a blessing right at the beginning!?] – thought the called prince to himself, looking up at two "hills" before his eyes, while he lay on the laps of the beautiful owner of the "hills".

A strong wind hit Evan's face and the bird started to fly towards the capital of Monster Empire at a high speed.
