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!
The Same As Us I: Trapped
"So? What are we doing?" The Fire Spirit asked.
"I-"
[We're going in, killing it, and getting out of here.]
"Are you serious?" Elisa asked, visibly shaken.
[Of course.]
[I'm not sure what you expected.]
"She's in pain."
[She?]
"All Harpies are females."
[It's a Monster.]
"Just like you are."
[Just like I am.]
[Which is why I'll do my best to kill it, and it'll do its best to kill me.]
"What if it doesn't have to be this way? She's constantly suffering because of the Corruption. You could help. The same way you helped me."
[I see what this is.]
[You're feeling guilty.]
"I am. But that doesn't matter. You can help ease her pain. And if you do, maybe she'll even join-"
[Maybe?]
"Yes, maybe. If you could at least try to fix-"
[I can't fix that.]
[Even you should know that much.]
[I can't, and I won't try to.]
"Why the hell not?"
