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!
[Bonus chapter]Expectations For The Candidate, II
"Is there a current Demon King?" Kati asked once his breath grew shallow. He needed a short break, and Zerha could tell.
"None. There hasn't been one in a while."
"What about Heroes?"
"Mm... Heroes appear rarely too. They start out as Saints, but then rise to Heroes."
"Those are Titles, I assume."
"They are."
'She doesn't want to say more than necessary? Or does she just not think these are important things?'
"When did the last Heroes appear?" Kati asked after catching his breath for a bit.
"At the time of the last Demon King, apparently."
"How long has it been since the last Demon King?"
"About a thousand years."
"Huh? So it's that rare?" Kati muttered. "Was the last Demon King-"
"Not much is known about that era. Only thing we know for sure is that the Demon Lords have lived through it."
