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!
[Monster?]
[That's how you call those you play friends with?]
Elisa stared sternly.
Mark turned towards the other newcomer, Elisa's guide.
'You made it. Knew it wouldn't be too hard for you.'
A returnee. That's how the guide thought of itself after the Quest it had gone through.
The Moonlit Feline, drained and fatigued from that Quest, lay on the ground.
Without reacting, it closed its eyes.
"I was in the tower. That's where she found me."
[Right.]
[That's where I told her you would be.]
"I was in the tower."
Mark didn't understand what Elisa was getting at.
[So?]
"The area around it was different."
A chill went down Mark's body.
He stayed silent.
"Why did you bring me here?"
Mark took a couple of seconds before answering.
He stood up.
[To see you fight.]
