Flain grew up in a futuristic world. When he was born his parents didn't want him because he didn't live up to their expectations and so he ended up very badly.

Flain was employed as a slave. He was forced to mine radioactive iron deep in the mines. It was drilled into his head that he existed only to obey orders.  

Young Flain was obedient. He doubted some of it but knew nothing else. For years, he never saw a single ray of light; light was only spoken of among the others as a legend.  

The routine was the same: in the morning, he would take a nutrient tablet and water. Then he would mine all day, sleep eight hours, and repeat.  

Flain worked like this from childhood until he was ten years old. He even found a friend, but that friend died of radiation poisoning right in front of Flain. Flain couldn't stop mining. He kept mining with tears streaming down his face.  

Before bed, Flain cried. "I will become the strongest. I will kill you all, and you will become my slaves." Flain stopped crying, stared blankly at the rocky ceiling, then looked ahead. A manic grin appeared on his face, one that would often adorn it from that moment on.

At the age of ten, Flain was assigned to a military camp due to his endurance in the mines and his survival against radiation.  

In the camp, Flain was trained. The regime was much looser; he even had an hour of free time each day. However, Flain didn't make any more friends. Even during his free time, he trained with a smile. He would achieve his goal at any cost, even if it meant training himself to death.  

Experiments were conducted on Flain. He lost his hair, two long gray arms grew on his back, and a third red eye appeared. Flain became a mutant.  

Flain was then sent to war. He fought with sharp katabas. He performed quite well in the war, earning himself command of ten soldiers and becoming a small commander. 

But one day, everything changed.

Flain then dies, is swallowed by darkness, and Flain refuses to die, thus appearing as a skeleton in a fantasy world.

Flain trained through the night, but now without Mana Crystals, so he received half as much EXP. But he guessed he had enough already.


He opened the door and walked through the garden while a few rays of sunlight were already shining down on him. Behind him, Ivy and Aran appeared.


"Do you know what we're going to do?" Flain asked.


"I'd rather go back to the king's soul, where I don't have to do anything.," Ivy added.


"No and no. We're going to collect Mana Crystals, it's true that there will probably be a fight, but that's not the main thing. Anyway, I hope you remember Flor's words—when someone sees you other than me, don't show your intelligence," Flain said.


Then they finally arrived and Flain knocked on the door of the room, or rather the shack, with the target of 100.


A small young man with a frightened expression opened. "Give me all your Mana Crystals, now!" he said, and swords appeared in his hands.
