Reborn As An Evolving Monster
Out of countless Souls, ten were chosen to be reborn as Monsters into the Higher World. A World much different than ours, filled with Demons, Devils, and Mythical Creatures. Ten Chosen Souls, Ten Chosen Candidates. For what they are Candidates, remains a mystery. "Weaklings shouldn't worry about such things." Indeed, only the strong can survive, which is why, for ten Candidates, ten Dungeons were built. Raise your strength, get used to how things operate in a World of Monsters, and perhaps you, then, will be worthy of the answers you seek. One of those Candidates had been given, in his previous life, the name Mark. But such a name doesn't mean much. After all, he is, in this Higher World, better known by his Titles. The Devourer & The Evolving Monster. -------------------------------- More info in the pinned review below!
A Seed Planted In The Shadow
The thing that Mark had quietly feared for a long time.
The thing he was worried about.
The reason why he didn't want her.
The exact thing he feared, had finally happened.
The uneasiness that was always creeping.
The uneasiness he felt in Krista's presence. And now, more recently, in Elisa's presence.
A feeling he knew was right.
Or perhaps, a hunch? A premonition?
A terrible fact. Logical, but also, in a way, tragic.
The reality that the beautiful can and will bite just as ferociously as the ugly and terrifying can and will.
Cat or Leviathan.
Elegant Elf or depraved Demon.
Their fangs can still reach you. And perhaps, they will.
A fact that is as obvious as it is sad.
It couldn't have been surprising.
After all, even Roses grow thorns.
Even a delicate flower won't hesitate to spill one's blood.
Mark had stopped his approach.
