2025-02-17 23:44:30After listening to Ryder's proposal on what they should do next, Luxy merged into Ryder once more. A tattoo appeared on Ryder's shoulder.
Jumping off from the tall mountain where he previously stood, Ryder showed no fear. "Hopping is what a rabbit does, isn't it?" Landing on the ground with both of his feet, a slight smile appeared on Ryder's face. "I love my new body." After hopping several times, Ryder finally arrived at a shelter. Walking into it slowly, he pushed the wooden bamboo door. The size and nature of the door alone made him wonder if it was truly made by beasts. As the door opened, the inside of the room was pitch black. It was as dark as an empty void. "Wow, it's funny how I cannot see anything despite possessing your sense of sight, isn't it, Luxy?" Luxy responded, "I totally agree. I don't think you should go in. I have a bad feeling about this place." A voice suddenly spoke. "You finally came, soon-to-be Dracogon summoner." A voice spoke from inside the dark room. Ryder froze up in his tracks as sweat drooled down his forehead. That voice... *Clack* *Clack* *Clack* Footsteps could be heard as the creature inside the room walked out. The creature came into view the moment it exited the room. Ryder had already been getting a strange feeling about this creature, even though he had only previously heard the voice. But now... the red flag he was receiving doubled the moment he saw this creature's appearance. Luxy, who was usually the nonchalant devil, suddenly panicked. He was screaming inside Ryder's head, screaming one word in particular over and over again. "Run! Run! Run!!! Ryder, run for your life!" Turning around swiftly, Ryder attempted to dart away, but before he could, a hand stretched out and firmly pressed on his shoulder, instantly halting him from moving. 'Why the hell am I sweating?' Ryder bit his lips. 'I don't have any idea who this creature is, but I am afraid!' With a husky tone, the beast began, "Ryder, isn't it?" Flickering its claws upward, the most unexpected happened. Luxy, who had already merged with Ryder as a tattoo mark, was sent flying upwards out of Ryder's body. All the strength buffs Ryder had been receiving ever since he merged with Luxy disappeared in a flash. *Thud!* Both Ryder and Luxy's bodies fell to the ground simultaneously, but they were still conscious. Luxy couldn't believe his eyes. "Did he just separate me from my host? This is impossible!" "I haven't introduced myself," the husky tone started. "My name is Hollow, and I am the Monarch Demon that owns this plain." Walking towards Luxy on the ground, the creature continued, "I know for sure that you don't know me, Ryder, but this little devil over here does... and I am quite familiar with him as well." "Stand up!" the voice commanded, and unwillingly, Ryder and Luxy both stood up straight. They strangely didn't have control over their own bodies. "I will give you the free will to own your body once more, but you have to assure me you won't try anything stupid." Hollow squatted, bringing his face close to Luxy's. "Especially you, little rabbit." With that, they were back to normal. They could feel and control their bodies once more. Getting up from the ground, the first word uttered by Luxy was... "How!?" A smile extended on Hollow's face. "Go on, complete the question." "How did we end up in an exclusive plain instead of a wanderer plain!? How are we in the Seventh Lord-Demon Plain!?" Luxy questioned. Hollow, with an amused smirk, replied, "Simple. Because I took you in. During the last meeting of the Monarchs of the Lord-Demon Plain, the Dracogon made mention of a stubborn rabbit." "He made mention of you. The Dracogon rarely makes any complaints or claims to have issues because he is among the most feared of all the seven monarchs of the seven Lord-Demon Plains." "Let me make things clearer for your sake, host," Hollow spoke with a smile as he placed his hand on Ryder's shoulder. "I am among the seven monarchs in the Demon and Devil Plain," Hollow continued. "I am the owner of this plain you are in currently." "I know!" Luxy snapped. "I j—" *Splatter!* Blood splashed into the air and then painted the ground beneath their feet, spilling out from Luxy's mouth while he was in the middle of speaking, disrupting his words. This happened just because of the malicious glare Hollow stared in Luxy's direction. "I am aware you are quite stubborn, Luxy, but I am not like the Dracogon, who is too lenient with pests." Hollow's red eyes alone made him appear menacing. Luxy, despite how stubborn and nonchalant he could be sometimes, knew not to mess with Hollow. Hollow's vibe didn't exude the suffocating aura a monarch of the demon plain should possess, but with the knowledge Luxy had about the plain monarchs, he knew for sure that Hollow was not too different from the great Demon Dracogon in terms of strength. "Why did you bring us here?" Ryder questioned. Hollow smiled as he heard the words that came out of Ryder's mouth. "It is funny to see that you have enough courage to speak in my presence." "I made myself clear, didn't I? I am among the seven monarchs of this plain. Mere devils and lesser demons were proving to be a hard time for you, and still, you are nonchalantly speaking in the presence of a monarch such as myself." "I do not know if I should see you as a stupid creature or a brave one, but I know one thing for sure—you are interesting. The Dracogon made the right choice, I'll admit." "Ho... How did you know this much?" Luxy's lips fidgeted as he cautiously spoke. He had learned his lesson pretty quickly—to speak with formality and reason. "Oh, I can guess lower pests like you know nothing about the way of the monarchs, so you have no clue. Once in a while, we organize a compulsory meeting for all the demon monarchs." "In these meetings, we discuss. Right from the day you came into existence, Ryder, to the day you were marked by the Dracogon, and till today, we have records of everything." "The Dracogon made it clear. He said he would be choosing a partner and summoner." "It was quite surprising." "The Dracogon was never the kind of creature that could tolerate being bossed around. He was always the ruler of himself. Not even the other monarchs could do anything if he said no." "One day, suddenly, the Dracogon snapped during a meeting, and its dead eyes regained light for a moment." "Following it, he said, 'My summoner has been born.'" "If you guessed, then you are right. It was the day you were born, Ryder. The Dracogon suddenly noticed a presence coming from you that all the other monarchs, including myself, never felt, nor could we decipher." "The Dracogon marked you instantly, and since then, he awaited your arrival."

Luxy simply stared; that is all he could do right now. He stared, puzzled and surprised at the new information he was gaining from Hollow.To be honest, just like Hollow stated, he had no clue whether or why he suddenly changed. He was just like the other obedient servants in the Dracogon's plane, and suddenly, one day, he decided to disobey the Dracogon.After listening to Hollow, he understood why he did so. It was because of Ryder."Who are you, Ryder!" That question echoed in Luxy's brain."I had the aim to steal the Dracogon's attention, but still, the Dracogon never paid me any attention," he thought inwardly."I was guessing the Dracogon didn't notice me all this while, but that wasn't the case. The Dracogon knew all I was doing but didn't punish me because of the shared connection we had with Ryder from the moment of his birth."Hollow raised his snow-white furry arm a bit upwards, just a few inches above his head, and spoke."You see, Ryder, Dracogon made a very silly mistake

Ryder's vision blurred as he traveled through an endless dark space. His scream echoed as he was jolted by an invisible force for what seemed like forever before he eventually arrived at a destination. After he was told his soul would be teleported, he never expected it to be like this. He never thought everything would feel so real. As his body levitated in the air of a strange horizon where he was jolted to, he attempted to steady himself, but it wasn't so easy. The sensation he was feeling was unlike anything he had ever felt. His body no longer obeyed the laws of gravity like it did back in the world where his real body was. He was floating, stretching, twisting… and he just wanted to scream. Unlike the dark void he had been traveling through, this place was quite different—everywhere around him were colorful orbs, some close, some in the distance, glittering and shimmering like stars. After a while of trying, Ryder finally balanced himself to a position where he could

He wondered but then spoke."What was the message? What did he send to you?"Luxy paused for a brief moment before responding. "It is your test.
