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!
The two stared at one another.
"You must have one, right?" Arani said as she smiled maliciously.
"I don't need to justify-"
"You're not getting out of this one with words alone." Arani's smile widened. "Show me how he's doing, why don't you? I might be able to help with something."
Only then, did Nia look away, as if fleeing from the piercing gaze.
She remained silent.
"Don't tell me you're scared of something happening to him. You don't think I would do anything, do you?"
A slight smirk appeared on Draconia's face. An opening had presented itself.
"Well..." Nia took her time responding. "Now that you mention it, I do believe it to be strange that you'd be interested in a Candidate other than your own. Mm, yes. It's true. You're not really dependable. Not very trustworthy either for that matter, so... Who knows what you might do."
Nia, soaking in the silence, waited for a bit, before turning back towards Arani.
