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!
In a well-decorated room, a blonde woman was seated at a large table.
She checked her watch repeatedly while sipping on a glass of wine.
On the table, a feast and a, mostly empty, wine bottle.
It was already dark outside, and the prepared meal had grown cold.
The door she had been watching was finally pushed open.
"You're late."
"Sorry. I was stuck in the ER for-"
"Late, again."
The man's slanted eyes narrowed.
Still, he hung his coat and took a seat opposite her.
"It's good." The man commented after taking a bite.
"Cold is what it is."
The blonde woman watched him as he ate.
The two remained silent for a couple of minutes.
"So. About my brother on Saturday-"
"What about it?" She interrupted.
The man sighed.
He thought he was too tired for this kind of thing.
"It's at 2pm. I'm thinking we can-"
"You can't be serious. You want me to go there? Seriously?"
