When I came to, I was in a place of nothingness, no light, no sound or anything that could give me an iota of information about this place. Just pitch black darkness and silence. While I was wondering where I had ended up, I heard a voice.

"Who is't dares to ent'r mine own realm and disturb mine own slumb'r" The voice felt as if it came from the very depth of this place or realm as 'that' called it, as if 'that' existed everywhere.

"O' great one. I am but a stranded soul who stumbled on his path and ended up here forgive my intrusion on your sleep" 

"How didst thee cometh h're?" The voice asked

"I channelled my magic through an old and rusty blade and due to my carelessness a drop of my blood stained it and the next thing I knew, I was already p here"

"Is yond so.  Alloweth me has't a look at thee, ostraciz'd one"

'Ostracized one? What does he mean?'

"Int'resting thou has't not one but two sealeth placed on thee. One by an elf and anoth'r by the fusty tree"

'Two? Wasn't the only seal on me put by Aunt? And who's the fusty tree?'

"Excuse me O' great one could you tell me where we are and what you mean by two seals?"

"I shalt answ'r thy questioneth little one. Thou art in mine own w'rld.  To sayeth t simpl'r w'rds, inside mine own self. The blade thee did touch is mine own physical f'rm.  Buyeth t and I shalt accompany thee on thy journey."

"I shall do as you say but, O great one could you tell me your name? I do not know how to refer to you"

"I wast once known as the darkness dragon but am I am but a m're blade with nay nameth to calleth mine owneth"

"I shall call you with your previous name. Can I converse with you again Darkness Dragon seeing as that blade is your physical manifestation in the world?"

"Once thee leaveth this lodging, thee shalt gain the art <Telepathy> thee can useth t to talketh to me in mine own blade f'rm. It is thy timeth to leaveth little one.  Oth'r art w'rri'd about thee. "

"Thank you Darkness Dragon I shall now excuse myself."

"Rememb'r to sayeth yond I am only a magical blade and nothing m're" After him saying that, my consciousness began to fade as a saw a silhouette of a black dragon with bright amber eyes in the previous nothingness and heard him say something but could only make out a few words due to my fading consciousness.

'My...own...blood? What did that mean?'

When I woke up again I could see Sylvia-san who was worriedly looking at me. Seeing me wake up she came up to me and asked, "How do you feel? You suddenly fainted when you drew that blade and the synergy that I felt between the blade and you were off the charts I thought that, it might have affected you severely."

"I'm fine Sylvia-san just feeling a bit weak. I could feel a lot of magic from that blade maybe it overwhelmed me. By the way did you buy that sword already?"

"Sure did. I got it for free for buying a magic blade for myself and made him keep quite about my purchase by giving him a few extra coins, it shouldn't be a problem anymore. I also paid for a mass produce single-handed blade for you, I'll have to go and collect it now"

"Oh could I see it?" I wanted to see both swords, the one my aunt brought and the Darkness Dragon.

"Which one?" She asked.

"Both"I replied. After that she went down to get the blades from the blacksmith while she was gone I checked my status again to see if what the dragon said was true said was true.

***
'What's soul contract?'
'That is the contract I established between us little one' I suddenly heard a voice inside my head. 'Huh who are you? Is it you Darkness Dragon?'
' It is I. You have become the owner of my physical manifestation now. The blade which is my body can now be summoned by you anywhere you are and also use its unique skill <Shadow World>'
'What's that now? And how are you able to even speak in normal dialect now?'
'I used <Telepathy> to learn your language. The language of the world changes every few years so it is hard for me to keep up'
'Do you have other skills in the blade?'
'No but due to my soul that was forged into that blade which is my body, you shall gain some of my skills from my remaining soul fragment when you level up'
'Oh that's great! I'd love having someone as powerful as you by my side and especially seeing you I know that those skills would be very strong'
'Of course! They are my skills! After all I was once called the Supreme Dragon a long time ago'

 While we were talking, Sylvia-san walked into the room with two blades in tow, one black and another white.

"Is that your blade Sylvia-san?"

" Yeah it is. Isn't it beautiful? It's a sword made by a dwarf using Mithril and the scales of Kraken they found in the sea. It had a huge commission on it but with it having three skill slots and one skill light thrust already in it, it was quite a buy. My current blade was almost broken after fighting with a Mithril Golem. I was really stupid of me trying to use that as a weapon against a golem."

"Sure were, but this blade...sure is amazing. The craftsman seems to have a lot of work in making this blade light though" Looking at that blade I couldn't help but admire it. They sword of Mithril and Kraken scales looked majestic due to the design of scales you could see here and there. You could even fell its strength when you held it in your hands.

'I'm pretty sure this has a unbreakable enchantment added onto it. It's perfect for Sylvia-san san'

'Useless' I heard the dragon snort.

'Why Do you say that Darkness Dragon?'

'This blade, even if it looks perfect it isn't. The magic efficiency is only at ninety percent. I've been made such that I'm 100% efficient and at the same time don't emit any aura to give away the attack that's to come'

'You sure are prideful huh'

'Why shouldn't I? I am the epitome of forging and have been made using my own soul and heart to make the core of the blade. Every inch of my body was used to create this masterpiece of a sword, that I amm'

"Hey Dan don't get mesmerized by it, this blade has a high synergitic effect with me. I wont give this to you, take your two blades and come we are going to train you so that we get some levels later quite easily"

"Yes!"

'Hey, Darkness Dragon'

'What do you want?'

' How do I improve you. You claim to be all powerful and all but this blade can hardly cut anything'

'Who are you calling dull? I can improve myself soon enough just pour some magic energy to it later. I'll even give you a skill to help you hide that fact that I can repair myself and even throw in a useful skill'

'Oh what are those?'

' <Weapon Transmutation> and <Weapon Creation>'

'Seriously just how many skill do you have?'

'I had a lot but they are mostly gone now, these are a the few skills that I usurped from my opponents when I was a sword'

'You can absorb skills?'

'I can but it happens at random and only one skill is taken from the person killed by the blade'

After finishing everything with the blacksmith we headed towards the Adventurer's Guild where Sylvia-san finished contacting her guard and told him to arrive at Hajimari within a week's time. After that, we made our way over to the training grounds in the back to get used to the swords we brought as our two primary blades.

'Finally I get to try out some moves and can hopefully gain a few skills using my knowledge from ZwaszeAngel'

A fellow college student for unknown reasons reincarnated into an Otome game that he loved, turns out not only did he not reincarnate into the Hero's or any main characters body but a random villager's. What's worse is that hes in the Village that's going to get annihilated first? And he's the first victim of the Demon invasion?

//[We've tried our best, however, we still on the losing end. No matter which path we choose, we'll always in the wrong… ] {okay then, I will answer your despair with hope… I wish this hope will bring light to you, O darkness creatures which seek warmth…} [yes, I hope we'll receive what we seek. Oh you, leader of the human race, I hope you too will receive a blessing on your end… and have warmth at the end of your journeys…] {I too am hoping so, O ye darkness creature… }
-???\\

"Has you receive the quest?" said the man in his late 30s let's call him Old man A.
"I've received it! Hell, no way I'll miss this!" answer Oldman B.
"What are you talking about? Tell me more about it man!" ask the teenager in mid-teens nonchalantly to the 2 guys in their late 30s without much respect, not even look at them like a children look at their older person…
"Ooh! Ryuu! It's about Europe's humongous Quest, it's being given by the 2 factions of the upper-people" said Oldman A.
"How can I not know about it?! So, what's the reward" ask the teenager named Ryuu.
"Don't be surprised but, the rewards are…" Oldman B trying to put suspense in his dialogue.
 "Dangit Oldman A! just say it already!" shout Ryuu
"Hey! He's B, I'm A! why do you forget our nickname damn it, you damn brat!" Shout back Oldman A
"… ey! How could I remember every Oldman there are! You've got a serial number by yourself you know! Like that Oldman there! He's old man A 87 if I'm not wrong right?! And the Oldman there he's Z 102 right?! This damn pub is full of Oldman! Damn it, even the pub has an Old man in its nickname!!"
"well, the 2 you point is Oldman E23 and R3 though, but well… let's just say yes, since this pub is our guild house after all…" said Oldman B
"Yeah! Our Guild Old mans' base house!" reply Oldman A
"ahh, just shut it! And answer the question!" 
"Oh, right! It's an orde upgrade without Upgrade quest and several Rare-class weapons" said Oldman E23 from their back.
"… what did you say?" said Ryuu with wide eye
"See, he's surprised! Hey! Gimme the bucks! You're losing! The lil ancestor gets surprised!" said Oldman A to the people behind, and those who lose the bet dejectedly making a noise, while those who win cheered.
"Damn it! Where can I sign for the quest?!" shout the already awaken Ryuu to the oldmans' in the guild…
Several chats, Q&A, and slapstick happened here and there across the globe. Weel, slapsticks aside, there really did many Q&A between those who called themselves hunters between the returnees' over 3 hours…
The angels and Satan's faction, unexpectedly having a truce and spreading a Quest that makes those hunters flabbergasted.
Emergency Quest!
I call thee, those who seek power, and those who seek for rich
Join our war against the unknown which come through the 3rd layered dungeon!
Thee shall be given rewards which are the upgrade of thee orde just by a sign in, like the warrior who shall be the vanguard.
Thee shall be given several of Rare-class Weapon by participating in our war, in order to protect thy beloved earth!
Cometh now, and we shall protect the earth against the unknown!

"Whoa!! The heck is this?!" shouted the man who's still playing rock-paper-scissor along the skeleton.
The man uses rock, while the skeleton use…
"At last I've won! Hah! See that?! I've at last won!" shout the skeleton in glee
"Ey… enough with that smelly toes… hey, stupid angel! The heck is this quest? I mean, how long have we been here again?" said the man
"I dunno…"
[It's already 18 hours since we've come to this place father, and it's already your 1234 win 1 lose] said the palmtop with a synthetic voice.
"dang it, smelly toes! Look! It's been 18 hours already! Just stop playing this game! I'm seriously bored!"
"Heh, okay, I've won after all, so let's stop it…"
[… oh, look here father, there are already 2 billion humans outside the dungeon… and more than 210 thousand angels, 123 thousand devils from satan faction with 60% of the factions' 6th orde and others 7th orde…]
"Wow… skeleton, isn't they too overkill?" said Grim, while roll around the floor in boredom
"Well, not exactly, you know that smelly toes have 9th orde? He even in his late 9th orde… the same as their factions' leader…" said Ridwan
"Woo…w… how did you know Pro?!" reply Grim
"… what did you say?!" shout Friteta in astonishment
"It's an instinct of mine~"
"I'm telling you that several minutes ago though…"
"sst, shut it smelly toes!"
Ridwan asks the skeleton to shut up, and hear the vibration of the air, although they're inside the dungeon, and have their position deep underground. The air-flow indeed came from above ground, thus, when the vibration in the air occurred above ground, he too can hear it. Of course, the vibration needed is at least has the same vibration as a 20 kg liquid bomb exploded though…
[father… Gru has completed the inspection, there are approximately 20 million humans outside the dungeon…]
"Is it? Isn't that too low?"
[yes, it's only several hours after all, I guess the next wave will come after several hour or days even]
"Hmm, now it's interesting… right? Tompul?"
The skeleton which heard the conversation between the machine and human, only nod with his glowing eyes, at the same time, the undead dragoon, Dullahan, and the fallen angel stood beside him.
"I guess our playtime has been over eh…" said the skeleton in a melancholy
"Guess so… it's all because of your stupidly long story you know?"
"Haha! I know you like that story"
"Can't say I hate it~"
"Well, anyway, let's met up above ground…"
"? No, I've another task to do, so it'll only be you alone my dear friend"
"Hoo, is it? Then I'll enjoy the appetizer first then…"
"Ah, see ya~"
Soon, the skeleton departs along his aides, while only Friteta, Grim, and Ridwan co. stod there…
"Uh… pro? You don't follow the quest? Why? I mean, it's an orde up you know?" asked Grim
"Simple… because it'll be boring and bloody" nonchalantly Ridwan said
"Now then, I'll go first~ my cathedral terra await me~ HAHA! Let's go gendis!"
[aye aye cap'n!] said the monitor in a heavy voice exactly like a pirate in a cartoon-like voice
Not waiting another words come out of Grim's mouth, Ridwan too, disappeared along with Gendis. Leaving Friteta and Grim, alone in the deepest part of the dungeon…
"Oh, look, you've orde up, Grim!"
"… I somehow feel my powerlessness, even though I've already orde up…"
"Uh…"
 The man and the angel stood there for several minutes, then, lazily walk to the stairs, and walk their way out of the dungeon to enter the bloody battlefields, where the skeleton and his army of undead battles against the returnee…
**
"Triuel! Has every preparation completed?" ask Firuel, while hovering in the sky.
"… it's not, the earthlings have yet to come"
"sigh… it seems there'll be no time to wait for them anymore…"
"what?..."
The sky covered by the angels, while the ground is covered by humans… those who see the spectacle, without a doubt, will be astonished…
However…
"My my my… what a bad manner you have, my guest" the voice reverberated in their ears, as if the person which has the voice stood right beside them.
"Damn it… he'd come eh…"
"Indeed"
From the dark entrance of the dungeon, tapping noise could be heard; clicking sound comes out, soon…
"Now then, my dear guest… let's start our party…"
The anomaly, with his army of undead and his 3 aides, come and open the curtain of the bloodiest fight, which the Satan and God's faction alliance has ever had…
.
.
Within the darkness of the room, in a chamber-like room, a fog unveiled a human's shadow, from within stood beautiful persons; stand tall with their naked body…
"… at last, we'd awake…"
"yeah… after hundreds of years long… we've awakened in our body huh…"
"It's sure is long… I wonder, what happened outside?"
"Shut it, our mission should start now! We've no time to play outside, Father has given our task"
"Eh… but big bro! we've just awake yet! How could a mother be so cruel!"
"We can play later 012, let's go and do the task father gave us first"
"sigh, understood, sister Stella…"
"Now then, let's depart…"
"""YES! To England!"""

*I'm not a native English speaker, so please tell me when you found some error~ thanks!

The next floors were filled with Ghasts, ghouls, zombies and skeletons.

The skeletons, zombies and ghouls weren't an issue, but the ghouls were a slight issue. They were immune to physical attacks and would always be trying to capture you in themselves.

They were transparent white floating humanoid monsters with a skill that would allow them to suck in anything they made contact with and suck out their life force and mana. They could only be killed with magic.

I had to use my white flames because I didn't want to harm their bodies, these were very important and useful for later. I got a total of 170 ghoul bodies that I could use for later.

I had used nearly all of my Mana to maintain the white flames so I had to recharge for a while before entering through the entrance gate. The boss would most likely be an undead, if it's A rank it's most likely a Lich King or an Undead King. 

Lich's were powerful when it came to magic and would be able to summon many followers that it could use, they were also very knowledgeable. This means I have to fight against an army as well as an overpowered mage with near infinite mana.

The Undead King was instead a zombie. This zombie wasn't normal though, it would have extreme physical abilities a smart mind and powerful armor and weapons. 

I was hoping it was a Lich because my physical abilities were only B rank so far except for my speed. My magic abilities were around A rank, including my flames and Mana eyes I was higher tier A rank. I would definitely lose before using the flames if I was against the Undead King.

After recovering my Mana I got up and went to open the dungeon gate. Once I opened the gate a strange feeling swept over me, I could feel death all around me, everything was cold.

I looked up and where the exit gate should be there was a Skeleton with a black cloak covering it's body. It's eyes were shining red, it had a pure black scepter, in his left hand, that curved to make a 'c' shape at the top and in the center was a black sun. On his right hand was a black book, most likely a grimoire, it was oozing with a strange dark energy. 

I calmed my mind and hightened my senses to the max. I took a few steps forward and got a few meters away from the lich before stopping.

"So your my next opponent? You seem very strong"

I could feel my adrenaline rising and a wide grin on my face appearing, I now had a good opponent to train against, I won't leave this opportunity behind.

Lich:"...."

The lich just stared at me with it's red eyes staring a hole through my soul. The grimoire in it's hand instantly flipped open, I made a stance and prepared for battle.

Lich:{Arise}

The lich cast his magic and a sea of undead started to rise out of the ground, I coated my sword in lightning and jumped back towards the gate, I wanted to enjoy this fight.

I waited for all the undead to come out of the ground before I started to counter. In less than 1 minute more than 100 undead had spawned in the boss room, the lich was still sitting on it's throne. 

Lich:"Attack"

The sea of undead started their attack against me and I started my own. I vanished from the spot I was on and immediately appeared in front of the swarm, I covered myself in lightning and started to cut a path through the undead. 

I didn't let any of them even move or notice me before I appeared next to them and ended their undead life. 

Lich:{Arise}

I could hear the Lich summon more creatures but I didn't care, I continued to cut down every enemy in the room with my sword. After a while I felt magic coming from my right and saw an army of undead magicians preparing a spell, in acceptance to their challenge I prepared a spell of my own under their feet.

{Burial}

I ignored the now buried undead and continued to crush the opponents that got in my way. I spun around and blocked the incoming attack, it was from a death night, B rank. I cut down and released some lightning magic along with the slash, a line of lightning crashed down on to the enemies in it's path and killed them all.

I continued to decimate every opponent, the lich kept on summoning more and more opponents and I kept on killing all of them. A few death knights and wizard skeletons appeared, I answered their challenges and killed them the moment they would attack me.

This went on for another few hours, I was in the zone so I didn't keep track of the time. Soon I noticed the Lich had stopped summoning undead so I decided to end this. I struck my sword to the ground and cast a spell.

{Lightning Tsunami}

A huge wave of lightning crashed down on the remaining enemies and burnt them all to a crisp.

"Hahaha, it seems that we're done warming up?"

I took a stance with my sword held forward with my right hand and prepared a lightning spell in my left hand. The Lich got up from where it was, it's book vanished into it's black coat and it's scepter transformed into a pure black scythe. It levitated of the ground and a black fog appeared around it.

Lich:"Human challenger, this room shall be your death  bed"

"Shit!" 

The Lich appeared right behind me and swing down it's scythe, I barely dodged and distanced myself from the attack. Where it slashed down a huge crack in the ground appeared and some black flames were scattered along the trail.

These flames seemed to be different from the ones that the monsters in this place were using, they resembled mine more than the others. It would be dangerous to get hit with that scythe as well as it's affect.

I coated my sword in lightning and barley managed to block the attack from my back. It seems that I misunderstood the physical capabilities of Lich's. I was barley able to keep up with it's speed. I jumped back to gain some space as I felt something bad coming.

Lich:{Death wave}

The Lich's deep voice resounded in the room. I cast as many magic shields as I could with all the Mana I had, 586 magic shields were created. A wave of black Mana erupted out of the Lich's body, I could feel that 570 of them had been destroyed and I only had 10% of my Mana left after that.

I stopped coating my sword in lightning and activated it effect instead. The runes on my sword started to light up an azure blue colour. 

This was the special effect of the sword, it would allow the user be able to constantly have a supply of Mana coming to them. The only issue was that if you absorb too much Mana through the sword you would be overtaken with the pure Mana and explode.

So to not explode I started to chain cast magic shields and multi cast lightning arrows. The Lich and I started our second confrontation, my Mana sheilds would always be there to protect me against the flames and my fire arrows would make the Lich have less space to move in.

I had gotten damaged by a few magic spells it sent at me when it tore a hole using the black flames, but it also received some damage. We continued for who knows how long in this stalemate before both of us cut of our spells and backed away from each other.

Lich:"Darkness blacker than black and darker than dark I cammand thee as your king, come forth from the depths of hell the time of awakening cometh.
Justice, fallen upon the infallible boundary,
appear now as an intangible distortions!
I desire for my torrent of power a destructive force:
a destructive force without equal! Return all creation to nothingness and come from the abyss!"

It was a final confrontation, I needed to block this attack.

"Light in the end of the corners of the world, come together I call upon the guardians of the Earth! Become my shield!"

Lich:{Void}

{Angels Wings}

Four huge wings of light appeared and made a defensive sphere around me, the Lich had a black void raised in his hand and it was rising into the centre of the room.

Lich:{Explosion}

I got reincarnated Into a prince! I'm somehow king now!? I need to protect the kingdom from invasions!!!?

"Who's there?!"

"Intruder!"

When one of the three men in black saw an unfamiliar person inside their hideout, he cried out in surprise.

"We've got an intruder!"

"Shoot! Kill him!"

"Take this!"
"Fire!"

-Ratatat!-

A hail of bullets rained down towards their enemy, but it only lasts for a moment because Leon suddenly vanished from their sight.

"Where is he?!"

Their confusion was cut short by the painful scream of their comrade.

"Uwaah!" Holding one of his hand, it was bent in a weird direction. His wail never stops even for one second.

This spectacle sent a chill down their spine.

Leon takes a single step and immediately arrived beside the second man, then he sent a kick that bends the man's leg in a creepy way.

The last man was frozen in fear as he listened to the wail of his comrade.

Leon didn't attack the last man. Facing the two wailing men on the floor, his eyes lit up with inspiration.

He poured some Psion into one of the blueprints in his bracelet.

Immediately particle of lights lit up his hand before he absorbed the activation sequence into his brain.

The feeling is wonderful.

Leon followed the steps according to the content of the book he had read earlier.

He put the coordinate and size of the magic, then set the intensity to the maximum.

Leon reached out his hand and blasting heat quickly consumes the two incapacitated men, melting their skin and flesh. 

"Uwaah!!"
"Gahh!!"

Their wail of despair echoed to the whole factory.
Leon averted his face from the disgusting scene and turned his attention to the last man.

"No! Don't come any closer!" The last survivor scream at the approaching Leon in panic.

"Please... Huck!" he let out a choked sound as Leon raised the man by the neck. His feet started to leave the floor and dangling in the air. Despair filled his mind.

"Who're you people?" Leon asked the man choked by him, but the answer is hard to understand, it was gibberish.

"Oh right, you're busy right now, so it's impossible for you to speak." Leon let out an amused laugh.

"You know what... if you answer my question truthfully, then I will spare your life."

Even though the man is suffocated and on the verge of death, a faint light of hope flickered in his eyes.

"But hmm... nevermind, I changed my mind." The newly gained hope immediately vanished from the man's eyes when he heard Leon's voice, despair instantly returns to his mind. 
For a moment, he thought Leon was going to spare him.

After done with the teasing, Leon slowly increased the strength of his grip and the resistance on his hand started to fade away.

-Crack-

Accompanied by a snapping sound, Leon throws the body away from him and proceed to go deeper into the factory.

The place is oddly quiet even after the loud noises created by the men earlier.

Leon raised his eyebrows in surprise when he opened the double door at the end of the corridor, it was filled with armed men. After a quick scan, there are more than thirty people with rifles spreading on the whole place.

Without hesitation, Leon rushed to the most concentrated group of men with his fastest speed.

Even though they're not able to follow Leon's movement, more than 30 people still fired their weapon at random in every direction, hoping to hit their target.

-Ratatat!--Ratatatata!-

Hail of bullets leaves their muzzle at high speed to block Leon's advance and torn him asunder. 

Time once again slowed down as Leon re-activated his Mangekyou. Immediately, every single bullets' trajectory is captured by his eyes, but it was far too numerous for Leon to evade them all. 
So, before they could reach him, Leon leaps high into the air and landed in the middle of the men.

Leon thrust his palm between the man's ribs.

"Gahh!" The man coughs out blood as he was thrown backward toward his comrade.
Leon didn't miss the chance as he flashed between the crowd continuously, attacking left and right without giving them a chance to respond. 

Panic quickly filled their minds as Leon's speed is way too fast for them to see. It's impossible to shoot Leon without killing their friends.

Blood and broken limbs are scattered everywhere and it grows larger by the second.

The men that stood far from Leon sent a panicked glance towards each other, not knowing what to do. 

The battle occurring in front of them is very gory and brutal causing their whole bodies to tremble in horror.

In the end, their mind was clouded by fear. 
In order to save their own lives, they started to shoot Leon and their friends with rifles.

At this time, they're no longer thinking about the fate of their comrades. As long as they are able to kill the unstoppable reaper who was after their life, then it will be worth the sacrifice.

-Ratatat!-
-Baratatat!-

The rifles unleased their fury towards allies and enemy alike, killing everything that stood in their path.

Cries of indignation resounded in the factory, it's a tragedy.

But under their shocked gaze, Leon is still alive with no sign of injury.
It means they've killed their friends for nothing!

Before Leon had the chance to kill the rest of the terrorists, he saw a red light flickering from the corner of his eye. 

Through the broken window, he saw the silhouette of a woman outside the abandoned factory.

"Darkness blacker than black and darker than dark, I beseech thee, combine with my deep crimson."

It's getting weirder when the woman started to chants some gibberish, yet it was fascinating in people's ears.

"The time of awakening cometh. Justice, fallen upon the infallible boundary, appears now as intangible distortions!"

Although it was very Chuuni and full of nonsense, it felt somewhat familiar to Leon. 

He felt as though he has heard this weird chant before, but he can't seem to put his finger on it.

There's something wonderful with the crimson light glittering around the woman's body. 
As he listening to her silvery voice, Leon feels like being in the twilight zone.

"I desire for my torrent of power a destructive force: a destructive force without equal! Return all creation to cinders, and come from the abyss!"

"Explosion!"

At that time, the woman's final word finally triggered Leon's memory.
The witch outfit and that chants... it was Megumin's cosplay! 


-Boom!-

Leon opened his eyes wide in disbelief as a massive explosion went off, engulfed him and the men in black. Everything was burned to ashes, leaving no trace behind.

Every people in the city was panicked when the massive explosion occurred in the middle of the night. 

Those who are asleep were jolted awake by the explosion. 

Many people come out from the building, looking at the crimson dome of light that wipes out the abandoned factory from the face of the earth. 

Although the explosion was far from the city, they can still feel the ground shaking beneath them.

Amidst the burning carnage, Leon found a figure on the platform near one of the blackened devices that had been ripped apart by the explosion.

"Hmph! These terrorists deserve a thousand death!"

A familiar voice entered his ears, it was filled with righteous fury.

Leon walks closer to the figure and as he expected, she is the culprit behind the explosion. 
Just like Leon, there's no injury on her body even though they're both in the thick of explosion.

The woman finally noticed Leon as he gets closer to her position.

"Huh? there's a survivor among the terrorist?" she raised her eyebrows in surprise and the intent to fight instantly returned to her eyes, "Ha! It doesn't matter, I will erase every single villain from the surface of the world." 

"Crimson-black blaze, king of myriad worlds, though I promulgate the laws of nature..."

"What the... this crazy bitch!" Curses escaped from Leon's lips as the woman started to chant for a second explosion.

Before the woman had the chance to finish her chant, Leon suddenly rushed to the front of the woman.

"I am the alias of destruction incarna-" Leon's speed startled the woman and it disturbed her chant, leaving it unfinished.

"Explosion!" Under Leon's shocked gaze, the startled woman skipped the whole chants and directly shouted the nasty word right in front of his face... and the second explosion went off...

-Boom!-

The city is full of chaos, many people flee from their houses when the ground beneath them shaking violently and their windows shattered. They're afraid that the incoming explosion might destroy the whole city.

As a result of the second explosion, the factory was replaced with a massive crater and two people standing in the middle of it.

"Huh? why are you still alive..." The woman opened her crystal blue eyes in disbelief, "According to the system, the Sinner Stone is a single purchase item and I need to save two worlds worth of points to purchase it... it's impossible for someone to have it... so how..."

"Uh... miss, calm down. I think there's a misunderstanding between us." 

Unfortunately, the woman doesn't have any intention to listen to any of his words and still absorbed in her own world.

"Ha! You're the strongest villain I have faced in my fourth world. So you can be proud as the first person to taste my third explosion..." 

The people were already evacuated from the city and anticipating more explosion to shake the city once more, but no matter how long they wait, it never came.

"Phew... this is very tiring." Leon wipes the sweat on his cheek. 
In front of him is a woman in witch outfit. she sprawled on the ground with her hands tied by a belt and a smelly sock in her mouth. She rocked back and forth with tears coursing down her cheeks.

But Leon ignored her muffled cry and focused his attention on the red footprints that leave through the factory back entrance.

His prey had slipped away...

Leon's life was turned upside down when a question dripping with blood appeared on his brand new PC. He had no choice but to choose "Yes" when his sister mysteriously disappeared from the house after this bloody question keeps popping up everywhere. His mirrors, windows, and even on the kitchen table.
-----------------------------------------------
I don't own anything except my original characters.
I will take down the cover if the owner says so.

The cold air of winter felt like fire burning the wounds made by the gunshots. Far away Kiel could hear the police sirens playing in the distance, but it wasn't enough to comfort him as his end was nearing.

His ragged breath kept ringing in his ears as all other sounds started to fade away. The security of the hotel barging in was also ignored, not because Kiel couldn't hear him, but because of what he was seeing.

The blade of a huge scythe made of the purest white bone was resting on Kiel's neck, but the thing that shocked him the most was the being that held said weapon.

A skull as white as the bones that make up the scythe, with hands and feet only made of bones too, were the only part of this being that Kiel could see coming out of the robe it wore.

"Thy timeth hast not cometh to an endeth human, thy life is only beginning. Cometh with me, young one."(Reaper)

Kiel wasn't dumb enough to not recognise the Reaper. But even though the emotions that should have struck him simply disappeared, only the fear of dying or the reaper itself in front of him, remained.

With as slight movement of its boney left hand, the scythe plunged into Kiel's neck, severing the connection of his soul and his body.

From Kiel's position, the fear assaulting him plus his already weakened body, only made it impossible to escape the attack, yet when he closed his eyes to embrace it the pain never came to him.

What Kiel felt was peace and the burning cold pain from his gunshot wounds disappearing, as he fell into slumber.

The Reaper was holding a whitish blue flame, with a little red on its edges and a small, severely tiny, black spot in the center.

"Thy soul is quite quaint human, yet the c'rruption is tempting right? What shall beest thy choices, I wisheth I couldst seeth, but mine own w'rk is nev'r ending"( Reaper)

With those words leaving his 'mouth', the Reaper looked around, seeing the paramedic humans arriving along with the cops. The girl inside the apartment seemed to survive the shot in her chest, yet he wasn't concerned as he disappeared with Kiel's soul.

...

Edem, or what was left of it anyways, was once a paradise but today is nothing more than a living hell for all the mortal races who lives there.

This planet is facing a war that has lasted more than thousand years, so much blood has spilled that even the once peaceful plants turned aggressive, the once vegetarian animals became omnivore. On earth the nature's rule is survival of fittest, but here is survival of the strongest.

In a certain village being attacked by 'monsters', a young child's body was being toasted inside a flaming house, but he wasn't the only one, as several houses were just like his, even with living people inside while they were burned alive.

As the fire burned, the house came apart crushing the child's body. His life was already gone when the fire begun. Raising a young kid in this war is not only difficult, but impossible for those who are poor. Famine took many lives, and were not even talking about one of the four horsemen actions.

When the Reaper appeared next to him the fire flickered and disappeared around the child's corpse and the wood over his body began to rot at astonishing speed. The floor around the Reaper's feet began to turn to ashes as well.

"This realm is out of mineth owneth jurisdiction, but t's truly a shame what happeneth h're"(Reaper)

From inside his mantle, the Reaper took out a sinister looking heart and a metal sphere with strange runes all over it, in each of his hands as his scythe hoovered in the air next to him. 

With a twist of his wrist, the heart fell from his hand and went into the corpse open (crushed) chest, as for the spherical metallic object, the Reaper took Kiel's soul and pushed it into the spheric, being consumed and making the runes glowing with the colors of his soul.

"Hest, activateth and repaireth the shell"(Reaper)

{Initiating systems. Systems activated. Soul acquired. Warning, soul possess traces of other elements besides holy and light attribute. It is recommended to purify the soul before completing the fusion.}

"Ov'rride function and continueth."(Reaper)

{Function overwritten. Proceed with shell's restoration and synchronization? YES or NO?}

The voice coming from the metal sphere was neither feminine nor masculine, also it wasn't mechanic, it was neutral and emotionless.

"Aye"(Reaper)

{Unknown command.}

The reaper greeted his white teeth and answered in the common language.

 "Yes"(Reaper)

{Confirmation acquired. Initiating shell's restoration and synchronization.}

After completely absorbing Kiel's soul, it flew and went into the child's shattered head, absorbing the brain matter and blood to restore it after receiving its order.

The corpse's head was regenerating rapidly as the cylindrical metal object released a metal liquid, almost like mercury, or like that liquid metal android of a certain sci-fi film.

The liquid soon appeared in the chest, coming through the veins and covering the heart, connecting its open, and cleanly cut, veins with the wrecked ones in the body.

While the sphere was doing its job, the Reaper realized that its two previous commands were accepted in his normal way of speech while the answer he gave wasn't.

Not wanting to dwell deep in whatever reason why it did it that way, the Reaper waited for the metal sphere to finish its job and so he could leave soon, as he wasn't allowed to stay much longer in the mortal realm.

When the sphere had finished repairing the corpse, the fire that burned the house had already brought it to the ground, but only the area around the Reaper had turned to ashes completely instead of burnt wood as the fire died away.

{Synchronization complete. Warning, the user possess an organ that wasn't totally compatible with the rest of the body, thus it was weakened and restricted. User is in weak state. Complete recover will take three days to a week. 

Three days if resting completely and receiving a good amount of nutritions. One week if having proper rest and receiving normal amount of nutrients. Prolonged time to recover as those two factors decline in quantity.}

The child's body breathed after a long while, the night had already came and the fire warmth was starting to fade. The flames on other houses were still burning brightly, casting light and shadows around. 

The Reaper would be smiling if he had muscles, yet he couldn't, thus he only gave a nod and said his farewell.

"This is thy second chance human issue, may thee strife m're and bett'r this timeth, because th're's nowh're f'r thee to wend aft'r dying a second timeth. Yond is, if 't be true thee kicketh the bucket, because thee can acquireth imm'rtality h're"(Reaper)

The Reaper disappeared into thin air as a shadow could be seen in another house, watching the scene unfold.

Angels and Demons, servants of Gods and Devils, have been fighting for as long as humanity remembers, yet the battle itself is destroying the world. Fate, however, has another plan. A child who is neither angel nor demon altogether, nor human or any of the so called 'demonic races'. With the blood of several mythical creatures, magical beings, he/she will end this war.

Currently on hold, but surely I will finish this book.

In front of Eirwyn and Aria was a two-story building. It had wide signboard attached on the wall above the entrance, the text is written on it was very obvious.

A notification window popped out.

'Cling'

﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌

Adventurer's Guild — Llyne

﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌

The walls of the lower floor were built with stone bricks. The timber pillars and frames support the second floor which had wooden flooring and white plaster over wattle and daub within timber frames.

The glass windows on the walls of the building were supported by wooden frames and were placed evenly.

The wide doors of the guild hall's entrance were made out of oak wood, which was the same kind of lumber used to all wooden structures of the guild hall, with iron handles attached on it.

Niel held unto the iron handle as he slowly pushed and open the doors.

'Crick'

'Cling cling!'

The interior of the guild hall was revealed to their eyes.

The wooden plank flooring, lanterns lit up with tallow candles attached on the posts and the stone brick walls, frames that supported the wooden ceiling, plenty of chairs and tables to sat on, and most importantly the board pinned with parchments containing quests and the counter.

Overall, the interior design was only simple but it gave off the feeling of being a true adventurer. However, the place was free with people.

Niel walked inside as Eirwyn and Aria followed behind and looked around the guild hall. There was a burly middle-aged man wore a tunic stood behind the counter, there were a rushlight and parchments scattered atop the surface.

"Valorous morrow to thee, Sir Bartelmeu, these people art adventurers yond haven't not register yet. Sir Reinald did order me to handeth ov'r this parchment to thee." Niel opened his bag hung on his waist and gave the parchment to the man named Bartelmeu.

"Oh, they art the ones yond ye art referring to?" Bartelmeu skimmed through the contents of the parchment.

"Aye, sir!" Niel nodded.

"Did let those folk cometh hither." Bartelmeu's eyebrows were furrowed as he aimed both of his eyes to Eirwyn and Aria.

"Ho, thee two. Sir bartelmeu is did want thee to wend hither!" Niel gestured his hand.

The two were dilly-dallying on the guild hall.

"Ouch!" Eirwyn dipped his fingers on the flames from tallow candle's wick inside the lantern attached on the pole. He felt the burn on his skin as he pulled his hand away.

Aria was loitering around and checked the board, however, she couldn't understand anything written on the parchments that pinned on the board.

"Nay lollygagging! I sayeth, cometh hither!" Bartelmeu shouted when he saw the two idling, his expression was serious.

Eirwyn and Aria were startled, the went towards the counter.

"What art thy names?" Bartelmeu placed his elbow on the counter. His expression was quite menacing.

"... Sir, I am Blizz a swordsman." Beads of sweat dripped on Eirwyn's face, the aura from Bartelmeu gave off heavy pressure to him.

"My name is Wren, I use dual swords." Aria was unmoved and responded.

"I see, so thee did want to becometh a true adventurer?"

"..." Eirwyn nodded.

"Of course!" Aria was enthusiastic.

"'t seemeth mine job is done. I wilt taketh mine leaveth. Farewell." Niel waved and walked towards the exit.

"Taketh care of thy own corse Neil." Bartelmeu 

Suddenly, the door was opened.

'Cring cling!'

"Oh! Its thee Blitz, how is thy stayeth on the town?" The young boy smiled to Terrell.

"Valorous morrow to thee, Sir Niel, I'm did enjoy 't and 't wast excit'ment hither." Terrell stood on the doorway smiled back

"Yond is valorous. Thy companions art hither. I hath't something to doth Blitz. Farewell." Niel went outside the door and closed it.

'Clrring!'

Eirwyn and Aria were dumbfounded, not because Terrell arrived but he could speak as the same as the aboriginals.

"Hohoho! Blitz, thee cometh at a valorous time!"

"Aye, I hath't cometh hither to meeteth with mine cater-cousins."

"Hoho, so those folk art thy companions! Did let us don't waste any moo time. Writeth thy names and thy Sui Generis on these parchments to register on Adventurer's Guild." Bartelmeu placed a small container filled with ink, two quill pens, and a couple of high-grade parchments on the counter.

Aria didn't care about Terrell and started to write on the parchment.

"Hey Terrell, how did you speak like them?" Eirwyn was puzzled, he knew that it was impossible that this drop-out could speak archaic Early Middle English

"Hahahaha! It's very simple. Just open and look your settings." Terrell grinned.

Eirwyn wanted to find out what trick Terrell had done so he opened his 'Menu' and selected 'Settings'.

After 3 seconds, Eirwyn's vision turned back to normal.

Everything was unchanged, only the letters and the written on the parchment scattered across the counter that Eirwyn didn't understand before had become clear and comprehensible English.

"Lad, if you want to register as an adventurer, start writing your name and your Sui Generis on the parchment with your pen." Bartelmeu reminded him.

"Okay, okay." Eirwyn picked up the pen and dipped it on the ink. He began to write.

"I'm finished, sir." Aria passed her parchment to Bartelmeu.

"What wast this, a toddler's scribble? I cannot understandeth aught. Writeth this once again. Thee did waste a fine parchment." Bartelmeu set it aside on a bin to discard it.

"..." Aria was surprised and unable to speak. Her handwriting was good but she didn't expect Bartelmeu threw it away.

"Sir, hither. I did finish it." Eirwyn handed over his parchment.

She was wondering about Eirwyn's speech and looked at his parchment, her expression became sullen when she saw the contents. The writing was the same on the parchments pinned on the board that she couldn't understand.

"Hmm. So ye art a swordsman and a smith. This piques mine interest." Bartelmeu cast his eye over it.

"Why not you try it, Aria. Look at Eirwyn, its cool right?" Terrell patted her shoulders.

"What?" Aria didn't get what Terrell meant to her.

"Change your settings and you'll find out." Terrell smiled.

Under everyone's respectful gaze, Chen Fan sauntered through the Susano Shrine's gate with his hands behind his back. A hint of snicker flashed in Chizuru Masahiro's eyes, but he quickly masked it with a solemn expression. 
"Master Chen Beixuan, this is the main hall where we worshiped Lord Susano."
Chen Fan and Yukishiro Sa followed Chizuru Masahiro and arrived at a large hall with no one in it. Despite its seeming emptiness, Chen Fan's Divine Will would sense many furtive presences around the dark corners. These men lurking in the darkness controlled their breath to a minimum and camouflaged themselves against their environment just as the Ninja of the Fuji clan had done. 
They might have avoided the detection of an ordinary Grandmaster, but not Chen Fan. Chen Fan's Divine Will had already flooded the entire hall and could detect even the smallest movement. 
Chen Fan didn't much mind these furtive lurkers. He followed Chizuru Masahiro and arrived before a tall and the entrance of and an inner sanctum. Despite the shrine's reverential facade, there was a cold menacing quality hang in the air. 
"Master, Lord Susano is waiting for you in there."
Chizuru Masahiro bowed. 
Chen Fan still hung the smile on his face even as he studied the entrance. Seeing Chen Fan was about to take a step into the inner sanctum, Yukishiro Sa hurried to put a restraining hand on him. 
"Don't worry, just wait for me here."
Chen Fan gave her a comforting smile and disappeared behind the threshold.
At the corner of Yukishiro Sa's eyes, she caught the glint of joy in the eyes of Chizuru Masahiro. She suddenly felt afraid. Although Chen Fan had already removed the Illusion Form from her body, she retained the keen perspicacity. Ever since Yukishiro Sa saw these priests, she knew they were up to something. However, her master was so confident in himself that he wouldn't listen to her warning. 
"This girl is as tantalizing as Violet. I say after I do away with Chen Beixuan, I should take her for myself, and turn her into my little bird." The hook of Genkaza Takeda's lewd gaze caught Yukishiro Sa and unnerved her. 
"Bam!"
Even as Yukishiro Sa moved a few inches away from the group of priests, a curvaceous figure appeared right behind her, pressing her warm soft body to the back of Yukishiro Sa.
"Yukishiro Sa, where are you going?" Violet asked with a smile, breathing down on her neck.
Yukishiro Sa turned around and saw the ugly grin on Chizuru Masahiro's face. It gave her a chill down her spine.
Chen Fan linked his hands behind his back and walked into the inner sanctum. 
The inner sanctum was spacious and its floor was paved with handcrafted tiles. Its large recessed roof was supported by a few columns made out of a hundred-year-old sandalwood. Even from a distance, Chen Fan could smell the pleasant fragrance of the in the air. All the furniture and items on the altar were exquisitely made. 
The most stunning feature of the inner sanctum was a three-meter tall statue. 
The statue was a hellish depiction of an Oni. It has a green face with two long fangs jutting out from its gaping mouth. It was covered with dark scales from head to toe. Underneath the statue, an old man with a glowing face sat on his folded legs on a futon. 
"Welcome, my honored guest. Please, grab a seat."
The old man's face was thin and hard. He was wearing traditional attire from the Edo period. His long hair and beard were as white as snow, making him look like a Clairvoyant Onmyoji. 
Chen Fan was unfazed by the old man, he walked casually to a futon and sat down across from the old man, face to face. 
"I am Susano Nihon. Thou cometh to seek me?" The thin old man said with a faint smile. 
His Chinese was fluent, but a few words he used were obsolete and ancient. Chen Fan felt like he was talking to someone who had lived over a few hundred years.
Susano Nihon was a God Reining State Grand Onmyoji. He was the protector of the realm during the Edo Period and was active even in the nineteenth century. He used to be the teacher of a Japanese Emperor and oversaw the Ise Grand Shrine. During that time, he had incredible influence over the politics of Japan and was feared even by the Shogun of the time: the thirteenth Daimyo of the Tokugawa clan. 
His name appeared in many historical records as the most influential Grand Onmyoji in Japanese history. However, after his death, he had fallen from grace and became a Demon God. 
"Yes, I am here to look for you. I am disappointed to see that you have chosen this pathetic form after death." Chen Fan shook his head. 
In any ordinary man's eyes, Susano Nihon was a thin old man wearing a dated outfit. However, Chen Fan knew exactly what he was. His flesh had long since perished and left nothing but a Divine Soul. However, due to Susano Nihon's level of attainment, he was able to make his Divine Soul appear in the real world.
"The Gate to Heavenly Dao was shut for me, what choice do I have but to exist as a Ghost Spirit using my devotee's faith." Susano Nihon heaved a sigh. Already, his vocabulary sounded much more modern. "Even in your home country, the middle kingdom, the last Immortal Master who achieved Immortality, the Sword Secret the Exalted Cultivator was seen a thousand years ago."
"Oh? You have been to the middle kingdom?" Chen Fan asked curiously.
Chen Fan thought he would start the conversation with a Thunder Art: his typical opening gambit. However, seeing the calm and unhurried demeanor of the old man, Chen Fan changed his mind.
Ever since Chen Fan was reborn, he had figured that let it be Martial arts or Dharma Spells on the earth, they could all trace their lineage to Immortal Cultivation. However, due to the depletion of Spirit Qi on earth, the Immortal Cultivator had all but left here. Therefore, the mentioning of other Connate Cultivators piqued his interest. 
"Two hundred years ago, I traveled west to China. It was the Manchurians who ruled the land then. The first place I visited was the most powerful Chinese sect, the Heavenly Master Sect at Dragon Tiger Mountain. I then visited and had a pleasant conversation with Grand Magus from the Dark Witch Sect. I was also a guest at the Wu Dang Sect, and witnessed their ingenious duel Cultivation of Dharma Spell and Martial Arts."
A wistful light came up in his eyes as old memories came back to him. He used to be one of the most powerful men on earth a stark contrast to what he had been reduced to.
"So, after Immortal State, a cultivator can become a so-called Earth Level Deity?" Chen Fan asked. 
"So says the ancient scrolls. However, even in China where talents were abundant, I have never heard of anyone who had become a Earth Level Deity." Susano Nihon shook his head and said: "I was so disappointed and started to lose faith in these ancient teachings. Over time, I started to think that not even the wise ancients had seen an Earth Level Deity and therefore what they wrote down for us were just their conjecture."
Chen Fan fell into deep thought.
He disagreed with Susano Nihon who had disregarded the existence of Deities on earth. Little did he know that the so-called deities were simply Connate Spirit Level Cultivators, it was one of the eight stages of the immortal cultivation: Qi Refinement, Connate Spirit, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Void Refinement, Dao Reunion, and Tribulation.
Connate Spirit was the second stage, yet, those who had reached this level could live up to five hundred years. They were able to travel great distances in a blink of an eye, move mountains and oceans. In the eyes of ordinary people, they were no different than deities and gods. 
Earth wasn't always depleted of Spirit Qi, so Chen Fan believed that there had been once-powerful Connate Spirit Cultivators walked the earth. However, as the Spirit Qi starting running out, they either left the planet or hid somewhere, biding their time.
Susano Nihon had cultivated for hundreds of years, yet could not take the leap of faith, neither could his peers. Over time, he started to doubt the path he was one and gave up.
"So you have given up on yourself and became a Demon God ?" Chen Fan asked 
"Haha, that's right! The main road was blocked, but I have found my own path. After I turned myself into a Demon God, I could survive hundreds of years while feeding on my devotee's faith. It's much easier than cultivation." The thin old man let out a peal of laughter. He then fixed his gaze on Chen Fan and said in a soft coaxing voice:
"Don't you want to reach the Immortal State? That's why you are here after all, isn't it?"
"I can show you the ropes, and I can even tell you my secret method of turning into a Demon God. You can be just like me, and live hundreds of years."
There was deadly poison in Susano Nihon's honey-coated words. 
Chen Fan was convinced that any other Grandmaster or Perfected Cultivator would fall for Susano Nihon's trap. The temptation would even make Ye Nantian or Lei Qianjue waver.
After all, who wouldn't be affected by the promise of Immortal State?
There hasn't been an Immortal State cultivator for decades and those who had already reached the Immortal State had all gone silent. Any new rising Immortal State cultivator could have dominated the world.
Not to mention that the old man had also offered a way to achieve immortality.
"Oh? What do you need in exchange?" Chen Fan narrowed his eyes and asked with a half-smile. 
"Nothing." Lord Susano shook his head and said: "I am very impressed by you after Chizuru told me that you are the most powerful Grandmaster in China, that you are only a half-step away from Immortal State. I want to sow a seed of mutual understanding between us and maybe later, you could offer me some help as well."
He said with a drawl that was typical of elders when they talk to youngsters. 
To his surprise, Chen Fan let out a peal of laughter.
"Lord Susano, your trick can fool anyone else, but me."
Then the smile on Chen Fan's face faded, as his eyes grew cold.
"It's just a matter of time for me to reach Immortal State. As for your method of turning into Demon God, it's worthless to me. You call yourself a Demon God, but in reality, you are just an Oni. Without reaching the Soul Formation state, and without the ability to keep your Primordial Essence alive in the Void Dimension, how dare you call yourself a god?"
"And I know exactly what you want from me. You want my body."
A silence fell over the shrine as soon as Chen Fan finished his words.
A dark but incandescent light came up in Lord Susano's eyes. 


Chen Fan, the great cultivator, failed to transcend the Tribulation of Heaven: the final stage of his cultivation. Little did he know that this accident would bring him back to Earth and turn back time to five hundred years ago when he was just a teenager. 

‘I had once reached the precipice of power in the known universe and could look down on the ten thousand realms with pride; I was lonely nonetheless. I will not leave any regret nor anyone behind while I relive my past life this time around. ’

Join Chen Fan as he relives his teenage years, righting the wrongs of the past as he punishes his unwitting old enemies. 

Twin brothers Frei and Qionne are separated by a cursed mirror. The younger is forced to shoulder the burden of the throne, while the older must learn to have courage and return to his world. In their wake is an empire at the brink of war, and a dark wonderland that cages the most horrifying of creatures. 
                      
Amidst their circumstances, a darker force threatens to tear apart the world of Terra. Fate searches for tools in the princes' possession; tools that can either save or destroy everything the brothers hold dear.
            
For the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life are what controls the hearts of men.
                
And only the Maribagoth can save Arcana from the menacing darkness.
                       
  ... ... ...
