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 Child & The Monster
Who is he?
I can't help but ask myself that as I stare at him.
Small. Thin. Young. A child.
Big. Muscular. Powerful. A Monster.
I'm the Monster.
Seeing the difference between us... Is he the interior? And I the exterior? Something like that?
No.
No, he can't be.
Because I am both.
Then?
Tsk. Why do I ask myself that? It's been clear from the beginning.
Even before, it wasn't Mina. It was him.
It was always him.
My past self.
But why would my past self look at me this way?
I thought you would be happy.
Look. My heart beats powerfully. My legs work. I can run. I can do so many things.
Why aren't you happy?
You couldn't do any of those things. Is that why you're mad at me? No, that can't be the case. Because I am both.
Why aren't you happy?
It started with my heart, then spread to my legs, then continued spreading. That's how it went, right, my past self?
