I know very well that I can't stop that disaster by myself.
So I'm looking for heroes and companions who can help me.
And fortunately, I know a few of them well, people who tried to stop me
I killed some of them and escaped from some, but still, they are suitable candidates to help me.
Just three years until the disaster known as the "Parade of Spirits" begins.
I think a few days left until the academy reopens.
After it reopens, all 16-year-olds must attend the academy for at least three years to train and prepare to fight creatures called "Engrals."
Engrals came to Earth through portals about 40 years ago, and at the same time, humans began to exhibit strange reactions.
After about two years, scientists discovered the cause of these strange reactions.
It was due to mutations in some cells in the body, which led to the creation of what we know from stories and movies as superhumans
And the first superhuman who successfully demonstrated the true nature of their power was named "Sylvana," known as the "Hell Dancer."
After her, many humans began to show their superhuman abilities.
And every day, the number of superhumans increased.
It wasn't just humans that mutated; many plants and animals did too, and some even became smarter.
So, humans had to deal with more than just the Engrals.
And of course, humans didn't rely solely on their superhuman abilities to fight the Engrals; they managed to create weapons from the bodies of mutated animals and plants, or even from the Engrals themselves.
We owe the creation of these weapons to a person named Alexander Lewis. He was the one who discovered how to make these weapons and taught it to others.
However, after a few years, he mysteriously disappeared, and no one found a trace of him
Now, let's get back to the main topic.
On the first day of the academy, the potential of all new students is assessed by a device called the "Amplifier."
It gives each person a score from 1 to 10 for their potential and can also determine the approximate type of their ability.
The Amplifier was also created by Alexander Lewis and has been in use since the fifth year after the portals opened.
It's been about 35 years since then, and only 11 people have ever received a score of 10 for their potential. These individuals are incredible prodigies, and one of them is the head of this academy.
Anyway, as I remember, the Amplifier gave me a potential score of 3, which was below average, so I ended up in Class F, known as the trash class.
The academy didn't pay attention to them and gave them the worst facilities.
But this was because I hadn't cultivated my mutated cells.
It's true that the initial potential you have is very important, and the higher your initial potential, the faster you can grow. But if someone wants to fight, they have to increase their potential to become stronger.
Of course, this increase in potential requires the person to reach their maximum ability and complete their initial potential.
But increasing potential doesn't make the person grow faster.
Because the closer they get to their maximum potential, the slower their growth becomes, just like children who grow very fast at first.
That's why increasing potential is very hard and challenging, and every time someone increases their potential, they are just one level away from their maximum potential.
That's why they can never reach the level of someone who had a high initial potential just through effort.
But...
This doesn't apply to me because, in my previous life, I learned a method from someone known as the strongest villain in the world.
Someone who was given the title of the Black Queen.
She never spoke to me, but she always taught me through written notes and even helped me in my training sometimes.
Although I was with her everywhere for five years, I never saw her face. At that time, I was known as the Black Knight and was ranked 13th in power among villains.
During those five years, the Black Queen never asked anything of me, except in her last moments.
When she fought against 7 of humanity's strongest warriors, 3 of whom were considered villains and feared her power,
and lost. Although she managed to escape using her teleportation ability and come to the cave where we lived,
it was too late, and she was taking her last breaths.
And with her last words, she told me,
"Kill the Black."
That was the only thing she ever asked of me in return for all her help.
When I heard her request, I began searching for someone called "Black" while also killing other people to gather the required souls.
But after three years of searching, I found no trace of anyone named Black.
However, one day I saw him, at the moment I was fighting Argus, who was known as the Death Knight, and...
I was killed.
But when I felt the separation of my head from my body, at that moment when my head was separated from my body and I could see my body
There was a person entirely black, with black rays emanating from them, who approached my body and embraced it. At that moment, my head, which had been separated from my body, reattached, and I was transported from there to the Black Queen's cave.
It was there that the Black spoke to me for the first time, and I heard a voice in my head saying,
"If you want to kill me, you can find me in the Thar Forest."
The Thar Forest is actually the same forest where my family and I live now.
And my goal, for now, is to find the Black.
Because the Black is one of the most important people who can help me face the Parade of Spirits
