Dark Magus Returns

For a while now, almost since Raze had gotten within a few meters of the large man, he could feel his heavy gaze.

No matter where Raze moved, he was being watched by him like a hawk. Honestly, the man known as Shing hadn't said a word yet either.

So Raze thought that maybe this was just a trait of those from his world. After all, he didn't know about the norms of every culture, but now he realized that it might be something different.

'His power is to do with Spirits? Although that is very vague, it could be a number of things,' Raze thought. 'Even in magic, it was hard to confirm things like that of a spirit existing.'

'Which was why I was a little unpersuaded when I heard that there was a book that would allow one to reincarnate or transmigrate, yet it existed.'

'My soul, or mind, or whatever it is, is in the body of another, so things such as spirits must exist to an extent. The reason why this person is looking at me, which one is it?'

'Is it because you can sense that my spirit doesn't belong inside this body? Or is it something else, can you maybe see what is clinging onto this body, the bloody woman that has been following me.'

"Shing!" Marcus called out. "Don't stare; we have already upset this person enough, we don't need to do more. He is a fellow member of Alter."

"An Otherworlder, we of all people should know how hard it is to fit in, and somehow he has ended up here in the Demonic Faction, tell me how did that come about?" Marcus asked.

Thankfully, Raze had already expected this type of question to be asked. Although he could intimidate Graft into not asking, the same wouldn't be said for an entire squad.

"I was in a troubling situation in another dimension. I had no choice but to try and escape. When opening up a portal, I just needed to get out; I managed to create a portal to the Demonic Faction, and now I'm stuck here.

"Thankfully, my device went off, and I managed to run into Graft; I thought there wouldn't be any other members here."

The group listened to his story, and they knew what mages were capable of. A slight glance was shared between Marcus and Barlan. It was to try and confirm if something like this was possible, and Raze noticed the slight nod from Barlan.

"Wait, so you only got into the Demonic Faction now?" Ponto asked. "So your squad is in the Dark Faction, right, but then the Qi that you were using, and the step you used, doesn't that belong to the Demonic Faction?"

Raze shrugged his shoulders.

"I honestly don't know much; what I learned was from the manuals that I picked up. I was sent to an orphanage when I first arrived in this world and learned the techniques from a teacher there."

Ponto, who was a Pagna warrior himself, was finding it hard to believe. How could one learn skills so fast? The only thing he could think of was that because he was a mage, he was supplementing his mana for Qi.

Which was why it was more powerful, and he had quicker progress than most warriors would have.

As Raze explained his story further though, it was when Graft realized something. Raze was in the Demonic Faction before.

His story couldn't be true because they had met up, so how was he able to join Himmy's group? Why did he need their help now if he could go between areas before?

Still, he would keep his mouth shut.

"Alright, alright enough with the interrogation," Marcus interrupted. "I know Himmy personally, and you have the Alter Badge. We can confirm if you are a part of his group or not; I'm sure he would know."

"What I want to know is what type of agent are you? Himmy was never the type to accept just anyone into his group; that stubborn man," Marcus asked.

Raze was wondering what he meant by the question and eventually answered with what he thought was right.

"I was a field agent and then became a squad member."

Hearing the answer, the rest of the members looked at each other.

"How long have you even been in Alter for?" Marcus asked.

"About a month or two," Raze answered.

This answer made the others more aware now; they were starting to understand a bit more.

"Now I see; well, you see in each group there are different types of members."

"We all have our roles within the group."

"Some are just information gatherers; others are scouts or experts on items. Then you have fighters and supporters."

"In cases of mages, they are in a more unique case because they can fit into nearly any field. So it really depends on your specialty."

"But as you work up in the group, it decides where you can get promoted to. If you are a powerful fighter, one of the top positions you can earn is to become a Deleter."

"A Deleter?" Raze repeated.

"Yes, they are Otherworlders like us; they live on the 6th floor of the Alter base, which I assume if you've only been with Alter for 2 months, you've never been to either."

"These Deleters are the strongest members of Alter, and they have the name for a reason. They clear up any traces of Alter existing if need be."

"They are the strongest and will get rid of anything. Especially those that try to, you know, betray us and run away with our secrets," Marcus laughed as if it was no big deal.

But it interested Raze greatly; just how strong were these Deleters? Since they came from other worlds, they weren't Pagna warriors.

But were they strong enough to deal with those like the principal, a number of things and thoughts had come to his head.

"Anyway, you should talk to Himmy about it when you get the chance because it's a good way to move up in the group once you know your role more," Marcus explained.

After Marcus had finished his explanation, there was a sudden movement, from one man, Shing, who was sitting opposite Raze on the table.

His arms had been folded until now as he pointed out right at Raze.contemporary romance

"You… shouldn't be alive," were the only words that Shing spoke just then.
