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!
The Final Test, II
"A Task I won't be able to accomplish?"
"That's right. Do your best to kill me. That's your Task."
"Nia didn't tell me anything about this."
"Nia? Ah. General Draconia, you mean? She was right not to then."
"How so?"
Zephyr put his helmet back on.
"I trust the General's judgment."
Mark remained silent for a moment.
"Then, in the end, this is just like any other encounter with a Guardian..."
His eyes were burning with resolve.
"I just have to kill you."
Chuckles made their way outside the helmet, despite the wearer's best efforts to suppress them.
"That's right."
Purple Aura started oozing out of Mark's body.
"Don't have to tell me twice-"
Just when Mark was about to charge in, Zephyr lowered his body.
"I interrupted your fight earlier. I thought you would have been done by now but... Well, that's my mistake."
He took hold of the Guardian's unmoving body.
