A Demon's Journey
Frascoia Continent… Various races like Celestials, Demons, Humans, Monsters, Elves, Dwarves, and so on occupied this continent. Humans and the other races lived on the mainland of the continent while the Celestials and Demons lived in Heaven and Purgatory, respectively. Within the Demons, a prodigy named Azaroth rose quickly, even by demons' standards, to the point of being dubbed a "Demon God. There was only one person above him within the demons: The Great Demon Venerable, the Demons' Supreme Godfather. Azaroth's extraordinary talent never had the chance to blossom to its full potential; a terrible calamity struck him down and he died soon after. But was this calamity just misfortune or was it hiding an opportunity for him? Near his deathbed, he prepared for his future ascent to achieve his lofty goal. Millions of years had passed after Demon God Azaroth's demise and now a young aristocrat called Edwin Rhodes came across a mysterious cave. ~~~~ Tags: Male Protagonist, Anti-Hero, Previous Life Talent, Reincarnation, Transmigration, Beautiful Female Lead, R18+, Schemes and Conspiracies, Sword Wielder, Friendship, Subordinates, Elves, Beasts, Beast Companions, etc.
First Loss
Edwin had no choice but to escape from that location soon enough. With his Angelic Wings, he didn't find it difficult to escape at a quick speed.
Edwin was feeling slightly down at this moment. He had a bitter smile behind his mask as he thought about what he had spoken about earlier.
'I lost. I lost against Fate. I lost against David Valliadis. And I lost against the Royal Bloodline of the Sinyalian Kingdom.'
Since his reincarnation, this could be considered the first time he had utterly lost in a situation.
His strategy had failed, and the outcomes would be the polar opposite of what he had hoped for.
Edwin knew that admitting his loss was the first step of improvement. He now had to analyze what he had done wrong and how he should move forward.
Fortunately, the situation was bad but not the worse. Edwin's identity and his relation to Sophie hadn't been revealed.
