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!
"More and more trees. We're out of this soon." Mark said before coming to a stop.
He turned around.
Krista and Elisa nearly collapsed to the ground.
"Get a couple of hours of sleep. We should be out by the next time we stop."
"Are you... Serious...?" Both Elisa and Krista crawled towards a tree.
The trees that covered the ground were still dead, but they were taller, had more branches, and were much more numerous.
"So tired..."
"Good. Sleep, then we'll-"
"But I can't sleep."
"Huh?"
Mark turned towards them, and both were staring with half-open eyes.
"Still waiting... For that story..." Elisa said.
The Moonlit Feline nodded.
"You can barely talk. Just go to sleep."
"That's not..." She yawned. "Entirely true."
"Right." Mark closed his eyes and feigned sleep for a bit.
"Stories are important... You know?"
"I don't have any stories to tell."
"Not one?"
