Rite of Passage II
The cauldron black sky was light by flickering and cackling branched lightning in the night sky. The lightning illuminated the dark forest below. The forest trees were tall and thick their height reaching thirty meters as they rustled and shook their crackling leaves.
The entire forest was extremely dark as an eerily death like silence cloaked it entirely aside from the occasional blasting thunder hitting the trees breaking the silence.
A smoky smell filled the entire forest.
SWOOSH! SWOOH!
Five thousand brilliant rays of light appeared randomly in lighting up the dark forest for a second. These rays of light were the five thousand rite of passage participants marking their arrival in the [Mantis Haven::SS] dungeon. Their arrival bringing a buzz of activity to the deathly forest.
'Dark' muttered Fritz. Yes, this was what entered the minds of all the newly arriving trial takers. This forest gave one the creeps due to its low light and its deathly silence.
But Fritz wasn't bothered by this as he could easily see in the dark.
[Dominators Domain: Area Probing]
Activating his ability Fritz instead of letting his domain cover a cyclic area of 1.25 km with him at the center he rather compressed it into a long line that extended distances greater than 1.25 km using it as a beam that swept up the forest in front and behind him.
Using his domain in this way allowed him to sweep the entire forest gathering information about what kind of monsters laid in this dungeon, the tokens and most importantly the boss monster's territories. Whilst probing the entire forest he came across some interesting scenes.
In one location a bamboo thin youth with eyes shining with greater conviction just like the rest of the other participants walked sneakily in the forest. As he walked he would from time to time check his surroundings for any enemies.
SNAP!
One of his feet stepped into a twig breaking it in half, the sound loudly ringing in the silent forest. Behind him two green lights appeared almost instantaneously as an extremely sharp mantis leg decapitated him before it dragged him into the darkness.
Located in another area a young lady with a petite figure nimbly jumped from tree to tree. Her gaze resolute concentrating seriously on her surroundings. With another leap she shot straight to another tree after surveying the area in front of her.
CREAK!
A light creak being released from the tree branch she landed on. An extremely swift shadow appeared out of the tree's shadow baring its sharp fangs, its huge mouth opening wide swallowing her whole whilst disappearing into the tree's shadows.
She was swallowed alive by a large python.
Stillness returning to the forest.
These two acts being just some of the things occurring in the forest that Fritz saw. Inside this dungeon a war was ongoing, a war between assassins. The monsters in this dungeon extremely adept at assassination, the dungeon filled to the brim with Shadow Pythons, Shadow Mantis and some rare mutations of them boasting the ability to wield the shadows and lightning.
Before long the stillness of the dark forest broken as the forest was now filled with chewing and munching sounds, screams and groans together with intense clinking and clanking sounds of ongoing heated battles.
Lightly tapping his feet on the ground Fritz slowly elevated from the ground. Fritz flew past the height of the trees shooting straight to the sky playfully accelerating and changing directions mid-air as he familiarised and enjoyed the feeling of flying.
"Haha! Marvellous" cheered Fritz serenely floating in the air.
"Instead of bothering with these mobs I might as well shot straight towards the boss monsters."
Looking at the forest below him choosing a direction to fly towards slowly towards an area which a powerful boss monster was freely releasing their aura. At the same time deciding to check out his inventory as well as make plans for what he will be doing as soon as he started travelling.
Fritz called out," Inventory."
- [Blood Essence Orb +1 296 000 000]
- [Blood Berserk Potion+ 5 184 000]
- [Skill Rune +2 592 000]
- [Spirit Coins+ 259 200 000]
"System, send the usual loot resources for flawless refinement" eagerly commanded Fritz.
With the amount of loot resources, he possesses this time around he was excited about just what kind of glorious loot he would obtain this time around.
DING!
[Refinement Complete]
The golden panels flashed brilliantly with Fritz's squinting more and more the further he read.

"Aaah… Stupendous!"
"Alas they are really of no use to me. Maybe I should just sell them but I don't need spirit coins too. What shall I do then?"
Fritz rubbed the storage ring on his finger contemplatively. Currently he had all the resources he needed on his hands and an excess of them yet he didn't know what to do with them. All his ideas about how to make use of them were problematic to carry out.
If he were to sell them even if to his mother's Hellsing organisation he would draw the attention of too many prying eyes as well as questions regarding where and how he obtained them so this idea was a no for him.
Whilst weighing his options he remembered that one of the most likely goals for Reincarnates was probably WORLD DOMINATION!
Yes, World Domination.
His trail of thought reaching here something within him resonated.
THUMP!
'Maybe I should create my own force'
BADDUMP!
'A force that serves me and only me.'
BADDUMP!
'Then its decided I shall create a force of my own.'
'This also aligns with my awakened talent; it seems that I have being fated to walk the path of sovereigns'
Fritz eyes shone brilliantly as with each of his thoughts his body mind and soul resonated with. A sudden rush of excitement passing throughout his whole body. He was absorbed into his thoughts immensely as a day passed with him careful planning and preparing everything he would have to consider and need for his organisation to come to fruition.

Meanwhile located further away from Fritz two individuals simultaneously entered one of the dungeons boss monster's den at the same.
