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!
A Test Meant To Be Passed [Bonus chapter]

Driven beyond his limits, Mark had decided to hide.
From the enemies. From the pain.
'I can't die here. I'm supposed to...'
Quiet desperation.
Clank-
With each sound of a Dagger or arrow knocking, Mark's body trembled.
Clank-
Five Daggers hit the protective barricade at once, which amplified the noise resonating inside that barricade.
Mark responded in kind to the increase in sound with growls of his own.
'I'M SUPPOSED TO...'
Clank-
'BECOME KING, RIGHT?'
Mark asked.
But no one answered.
'THEN...!'
CLANK-
His body shuddered.
And his mind went blank.
'What the hell... Am I supposed to do... Trapped... AGAIN!'
Mark clenched his fists until his palms bled.
'How the hell... Am I supposed to get out of here...'
