The streets were badly damaged and countless monsters lurked here. But in the old and razed building there is a man who wear ragged clothes and countless wounds.
"N~no! I don't want to die yet! I must get my revenge!" Even he was starved, tired and worn out, nervous, and his body aches he endured just to lived.
'Why would this happen? How?' As he recalled 4 years before, after the invasion of monsters in portals.
"Wh~who killed my Cousin?! Tell me? You're police right? Who is it?" Anger, sadness and prostated what he feels right now as he kneels into the ground seeing his cousin dead with ragged and torn shirts.
"Your name is John right? Sorry boy, but due to the report it seems one of the adventurer who is the culprit but we have no leads on who is the suspect." The police answered after taking a look at the report he got.
'Young man, I apologize but it seems that the adventurer is high ranking so we can't do anything.'
"Then tell me who he is! Just the name or atleast what he looks like! Anything just pleasee.." *hicc* *hicc*
The nearby people who saw the commotion also in topic.
"Another one ha~ I think we can't do anything and just let them by like this. Just not to provoke the adventurers is a must."
"Yeah that's right, So i just planning to make my daughter to marry an adventurer so atleast they have a connection."
"What a poor guy"
'Cous, I already miss your only knows-how-to-cook summerside egg. Don't worry i will find the bastard who did this i promise to you!' Filled with determination with his heart.
But after that incident until now the world was cruel to him as he didn't gifted on how to feel mana (The minimum requirement for being adventurer).
Ever since the Earth filled with monsters that came up from the portals, the world become chaos as the laws cannot stop them and invasion of monsters makes it more chaotic.
'Why?! Just why is my cousin? What did she do wrong? Nothing right?!'
Even after what happened he is not filled with revenge, but a determination just to know who is culprit and why did he do that.
His eyes didn't fade as he drew his last breath. John's heart is still burning with willpower and even death cannot withstand it.
'Where am i? Is this heaven? Will i meet my cousin here? Why do i feel so comfortable?'
John opened his eyes as he was greeted by countless people or rather souls with different outfits and races.
"Where am i?" He asked as curious where he got transported or got in.
"Boy you're lucky to be chosen we are here to help you. Do you wish to become stronger?" A gentle voice of women heard in one of surrounding people.
"Here is the the so called DreamLand and you are chosen to be the vessel of our wishes." An old man suddenly step forward.
~ Before arrival of John ~
"So this is the DreamLand ha~ To think i died before giving my teachings what a shame in my name of Zchiuan."
"Oh, Old man? There is another soul here? I thought i was the only one here. I've been waiting for so long just to be with someone else." A 187 cm tall man with sword wrapped in his waist come in.
As time goes by the souls are still joining and countless souls housed this DreamLand.
"How come there is so much here? This is way too cheating! How can i past down my knowledge? I the former Old Demon Lord can't waste his time like this." With a handsome yet fierce.
"Hey hey only not you, but i'm waiting for who is this man who has so much willpower to gather us here." A burly man come up.
As the countless people gather here, discussing topics can be heard in so many different person.
Suddenly a brilliant golden pillar descended. "Hm, to think that there is so much gathered here. Well for now i should introduce myself. I am God of Souls, Marris. thank you for your waiting for such a long time."
"How come we're here together? Then we can't all pass those teachings? And how 'bout reincarnation? Then only few can be reincarnated. Do we have to fight for those?"
All of the people share the same thought here as they wished for themselves not just to passed knowledge but to also reborn.
"Okay then first, This is also strange for me that all of you gather together here so as for the problem we will not hold competition but atleast 3 person can pass down there teaching whom they want to pass there is no limit on how many you guys. If he successfully received your teachings then you can be reincarnated all!" God Marris announced.
"So i will let you decide for that thing. Goodbye i hope your wishes and regrets in life be fulfilled!" *whoosh*
The God of Soul dissapeared and a commotion suddenly heard as everyone discuss what the God Marris announced.
"Sorry for the interruption of all you people. My name is Weryong, I am a ruler of my kingdom in the past. So first is because this place is large we should settle down here and wait for the vessel. Those who want their inheritance passed down they can settle here in Central Area as for don't want to pass you can lived on your own everywhere here. Is that okay?"
"Sure"
"Yeah"
The topic is decided very soon and all agreed. Since the vessel is the only missing they prepare all the necessary for those who wants to passed their teachings. And some lived seperately.
~ At present ~
"Strongest? Then it will help my goal to seek what i want?" John's eyes lit up a hot determination when he heard strongest.
"What do you want? Riches, power, or for adventure? Tell us and we all will help your dream." Clad with brilliant armor, you will see that he is some hero in another world.
"Hm, you all don't know. He wants revenge and he seeks anything just to obtain it right?" The Demon Lord boastful said.
"You're wrong mister. I just want to know the reason why? I know because he is too strong and he has such oppurtunity but right now i'm dead and powerless even you teach me can i go back in that same world as how i used in here?"
He tells the story of his cousin and the world he is right now. All of them endowed in his story and felt a stinged in their heart because of what happen to him.
John was right, and all of them think what is the best answer for that. However, a ordinary man suddenly shouted.
"You fool! Then what about your cousin's life? Think John, you didn't make it right? You're powerless? Now we are all giving this oppurtunity to help, even though you're not sure if it is the same or not is that okay? Your cousin will be mad, how about the future of you will you not care about it?! Think John!"
The people was freightened. What if it turns that he will fell deeply in what he said and resentment will eat him. Then they are all done.
The middle aged man lectured him as because of mistake he did. 'Right, I am the one at fault. I should atleast accomplish something right cousin?'
"Thank you sir for your thoughts and sorry for all of you. I know it is hard also for you. Don't worry i will not choose neither of you because i want to grasp all of the knowledge and please help me to construct my goal again." He vowed deeply for the remorse he did earlier and his passion and willpower suddenly increased.
The Souls feel the strong determination in his heart. This strong willpower is not something for a short term but a willpower through his life.
'What a Willpower!' Almost all of them exclaimed to his burning desire.
