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!
"Mm. "Elisa nodded. "With the Corruption, being stuck in that Dungeon, and a half dozen other things, it might be hard to think of me as a Princess, but-"
"I believe you." Mark interrupted.
"Thanks." A low voice. "If that's the case, then..." A Timeworn Elven Dagger spun.
'Huh-'
The next second,
Blitz-
Elisa stood behind the seated Mark.
Every cell in his body screamed at him to jump away.
She slowly lowered the raised Dagger until it kissed Mark's right shoulder.
"Never do-"
"Don't interrupt."
Elisa raised the Dagger and moved it to his left shoulder.
"Monster, I hereby pronounce you my Knight."
She took a step back, and Mark turned around.
Elisa was smiling.
"Don't do that again."
He wasn't.
"Your muscles twitched. Bet you had to fight against every instinct of yours not to move away, huh?"
"Do that again and I won't fight them at all."
