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!
A Curse III: Past Ties, Future Turmoil
The Fire Spirit seemed highly interested in Mark's actions.
'She's a liability.'
Mark took a step forward, and the ground below cracked.
'She's unpredictable. Unstable. She'll cause nothing but trouble. And I can't find one good reason not to end this right here, right now.'
Step-
'The Corruption will keep spreading anyways. I might as well devour her as quickly as possible.'
Step-
'This... Just like the rest... Is a test.'
Step-
'These deceptive feelings I hate... Aren't mine. The inconsistencies created by my past...'
Step-
'I'll crush them, and finally be freed by that past.'
Step-
Elisa hadn't moved a finger.
But her trembling has ceased completely.
'Those feelings I can't explain from my past are screaming at me... The thing they want me to do the least is this...'
In front of him, was a true damsel in distress.
And part of him wanted nothing more than to protect her.
