Flame Reaper

[ Welcome, Son of Flames.]

[ Welcome, Holy Blade.]

[ Welcome, Death Chanter.]

The three interfaces floated in front of him, welcoming him as if he was an old friend. Even Grim felt extremely familiar with the interface in front of him. He felt like reaching over and shaking the hand of an old friend he had encountered again, but he knew that wasn't the case. He knew nothing of the interface in front of him and he was completely caught off guard by his own emotions.

" Strange. " He muttered as he kept looking at the words on the interface. He once more reached out to touch the interface in front of himself, but this time, he actually felt like he touched something solid.

As soon as his palm came in contact with whatever it was that the interface felt like to him, it actually sank in. The other two of the screens floating beside the one in the center actually floated behind it, and what felt like the one his hand was in absorbing the other two happened in front of his eyes.

He felt a slight itch on his arm, but thought nothing of it as he kept looking at the interfaces absorbing each other with his forearm in the center of all three of them. The itch, which he had felt at the point his fist connected to his forearm started flowing upwards and suddenly divided into 3 and intensified. He felt like shouting, but held it in due to the fear of wild animals. The trees were sparse around here, but he did notice that there was a jungle slightly further from him.

" Fuck. " He muttered as the itch further intensified as it slowly reached to the end of his forearm. He felt like his skin was being razed off his body and it even started to feel like it was being replaced by something foreign. He finally couldn't hold it in anymore as he let out a short wail before quickly closing his mouth and gritting his teeth.

After what felt like an eternity, he was finally able to remove his arm from the jaws of the monster he had termed the interface in the process that just happened. He fell backwards due to the amount of strength he had applied to try and pull back his hand during the last few seconds or what he felt like minutes of the process.

As soon as he fell on the ground, the first thing he did was to pull up the sleeves of his coat that he was wearing, only to find a strange marking on his hand. On first sight, this seemed to be the head of a trident, with three long lines extending from one point of origin, but when he looked closely, he found that there was a small bracelet like object at the point of origin, and the straight lines contained 5 circular spots, as if they were waiting for something to be placed there.

He nearly had his head on his arm trying to see what it all was clearer but he wasn't even able to gain a clue, before an interface appeared in front of his eyes, shocking him out of his wits.

[ You have chosen Son of Flames as the core of your soul.

Hero#001 Flame Reaper, Welcome to the Land of Inheritance. ]

After he read this interface to the end, it once more vanished and he felt another bout of extremely terrifying pain, but before he even had the chance to hold his head, the pain vanished as fast as it came.

He looked at what looked like a tattoo on his arm once more and covered it back up with the sleeve of his blazer coat. He opened the buttons at the front of his coat which seemed longer than most formal coats and unbuttoned the top button of his shirt and followed by loosening the tie he was wearing, letting it simply hang by his neck.

This was how he wore the uniform of the library usually behind that geezer's back. He even modified it himself by increasing the length of the coat slowly over a period of time and getting a tie that was longer. He always wore it like this because it made him look like one of those protagonists from the anime he watched every once in a while when that geezer was away.

He put his left hand in the pocket of his black pants and then raised his right to the level of his eye.

~ROOOOOOAAAAAARRRRRRR~

He smiled as a bracelet, which resembled the one in the tattoo, appeared around his arm, floating and rotating at a slow speed. His smile widened as he saw the figure of what seemed to be a lion slowly stepped out of the forest in front of himself.

#-------------------------#

Meanwhile, back on Earth, another shocker had been launched as everyone saw the interface in front of them.

[ The first Hero has appeared on land of Inheritance.

The first hero has been conferred the title 'Flame Reaper'.

Hero#001 shall return to receive his glory by defeating the new king of monsters on his Homeland.]

The shock wasn't this, however, as the whole world heard the roar which they could only call the roar of a dragon echo across the globe.
