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!
Doubting Reality
Her long dark dress cushioned her knees as they kissed the ground.
'Looks weird...'
Her left arm, covered by the sheer sleeve of her dress, was extended forward.
'Wonder if he can talk...?'
The instant her fingertip came into contact with the Monster's body, she pulled back.
"Ugh... So weird..." She passed that same fingertip over the back of her hand. "Scales feel so weird..." She whispered. "But also kind of... Nostalgic-"
The white-scaled Monster's eye opened.
She froze.
Both moved at the same time.
She jumped back and it extended its claws.
The Monster's expression made its confusion known. Still, its gaze didn't leave the one standing before it.
She remained unmoving, her hands tightly grasping the dark dress.
