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!

"I suppose... It would be a toss-up between the two." The old man lied. It wasn't even close.
"As beautiful as Petra... Amazing. And she could fight too!"
"Mm."
"Can I be like her when I grow up?"
"Mm... Maybe..." The old man answered absent-mindedly.
"Then, what happened?"
The old man was about to go back to his tale about the Corrupted Harpy when,
"No, no! We want to hear about the Princess!"
