Primordial Soul's Rebirth

The hero of the human empire, Eric Reeves, was summoned to this world filled with fantasy creatures and diverse kinds of races from a normal world.

His world was like Alice and Ann's world used to be before the gates appeared.

No one had superpowers or anything.

So, when he was summoned to this world, he thought that he was special, and he had a responsibility that he had now.

He had power, but with power came responsibility.

He got the power after he was summoned here, so now he felt responsible for these people.

He wanted to save these people now; he wanted them to be free of the fear they lived under.

Yeah, he was the goodie-two-shoes type of guy.

But even he was shocked when he saw Alex's momentum.

'Is he supposed to be my opponent…?'

His body trembled as he recalled those regal red eyes that seemed to be able to peer into his soul even though he wasn't there.

'Am I supposed to face someone like him…?'

He just couldn't believe that he would have to face Alex when the time arrived.

How could he defeat someone like Alex?

The supreme human bloodline's aura was a bit too strong—so strong that it affected Eric, even though this guy was so far away.

But it was not just him; even the other humans in the room were trembling.

*Woosh*

The next moment, however, a gentle breeze blew, causing their hair to get disheveled; their trembling bodies, on the other hand, had stopped trembling.

"He's not easy to deal with."

Then they heard a low, humming voice from their side, causing them to turn toward the only elf in the throne room, Viessa.

Her eyes were closed, but her brows were frowning.

Her head was still turned toward the spot where the screen was a moment ago.

Her words, however, caused a man who seemed to be in his late 20s, sitting on the only throne in the room, to widen his eyes.

'Did she just say that he was going to be hard for even her to deal with?!'

He was the famous puppet emperor of the human empire.

A man with striking red hair and light blue eyes.

He looked like a wimpy guy who would do whatever he was asked to, but he was not the only person who was shocked.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

There was another woman in the room, a bit lower in beauty than Viessa, but a beauty, nonetheless.

Her eyes were opened just as wide as the man's.

She was the man's wife, the empress, and she, just like the emperor, knew how strong Viessa was.

Yet Viessa was saying that the new demon lord, who had just been crowned, seemed like someone who was hard to deal with, even for her.

If this was not shocking, then what was?

But Eric, who saw the frown on Viessa's face, then turned toward the other four girls in the throne room, including the princess.

The way their eyes had that lost look as they kept staring at the same spot as Viessa did.

They were enamored by Alex's looks since they were just a group of normal girls who somehow got graced with beauty by God yet had no power to back it up.

To Eric, however, it seemed like they were too shocked; they were traumatized, or so Eric thought.

His wavering eyes turned firm as his gaze kept shifting from one girl to another.

'I have to protect them.'

He spoke with resolution before he stood up from his spot.

"Eric?"

A girl with orange bob cut hair and a slim, muscular body broke out of her reverie as she turned to look at Eric, who had stood up.

"He is strong—much stronger than me; I can feel it.

But that doesn't mean that I would lose hope.

I will train harder than before—way harder than I ever did; I will keep doing it until I'm strong enough to protect you all."

His words caused every girl in the room to turn toward him, yet the words that would've caused the girls to blush a while ago could just make them smile a little.

It was as if his protagonist's aura wasn't working on them anymore.

Eric didn't notice it, though.

He just walked out of the throne room with heavy steps.

Since he had said so, he was going to train as hard as he could.

Eric's steps, however, stopped in front of a room. His lips moved, trying to say something, but as he recalled the cold blue eyes that he always received when he tried to talk to the owner of the room, he hesitated for a bit.

'Sigh…'

In the end, he just sighed and started walking out of the palace.

No matter what it looked like, he was motivated to get stronger—a bit too much so that he didn't even notice a golden light that momentarily shone in his palm.

Unlike the motivated Eric, though, there was one person who was shocked.

'Why is he here already….?'

This was all he could think as he clenched his fist.

His body trembled as he recalled the aura he felt from Alex right now.

'He's way stronger than what I hoped he would be…'

His frustration only grew as he recalled all the sacrifices he had to make to get to this point, while Alex just got whatever he wanted without much effort.

'How the hell did he become a freaking demon lord?! Wasn't it someone else who was supposed to be the demon lord???

And wasn't the coronation of demon lord supposed to take place after a year or two?!'

That guy wanted to pull out his dark blonde hair, but he knew that this was not the place to let out his frustration.

"Alex Matthew…"

He heard a growl-like voice, causing his head to turn toward a guy with flowing golden hair and golden eyes.

That man was Antares Blaze, the golden dragon and the guardian of the dragon empire.

He was the same guy that Alex had talked to through the strange device.

Right now, Antares was staring at the frozen screen in front of him.

The screen had the image of Alex standing next to Rohrg, the exact moment he had shattered the broadcasting device.

The golden dragon had somehow paused the scene, making it unable to vanish even though it should've.

He gritted his teeth as he recalled the humiliation that Alex had done.

*Rumble*

But the mere tightening of his muscles caused the air to rumble.

The blonde guy, who saw this reaction, widened his eyes before a grin started to spread across his face.

'Hehehehehe….'

He started giggling inwardly.

From Antares's reaction, that guy was sure that Alex had somehow already offended this guy, so things were now easier for him.

'I guess the gods didn't abandon me…'

He muttered with a grin before the image of a redhead passed through his mind, causing a determined look to appear on his face.

'Just wait for me, Alice.'

Those were his last words before the scene changed. Now it was back to Alex, who was sitting on his throne, staring at Nyx, who was kneeling on the ground.
