Illusia/Story

## Background

Illusia was originally a Japanese person who suddenly died and got reincarnated into another world without any memory of what happened. It can be inferred that he wasn't anyone special in his past life and was just another normal person considering his average intelligence, adaptability, and etc shown in his current life.

## Story (Web Novel)

### Noah's Forest Arc

At the beginning of the story, nameless Illusia notices that he is in some kind of forest and attempts to figure what's happening. Suddenly, a game-like screen/menu appears inside his head revealing his current status that he's a Dragon Egg and hears some kind of voice. He discerns that voice is coming from a skill known as〖Voice of God〗and tries to ask it some questions but leads to no avail. After trying to walk and then falling down the tree he was born on, he goes to a nearby water source and finds out in the reflection that he's a huge egg with legs and definitely not human showing that the status was telling the truth.

Right as the second day comes by, he comes to a conclusion that this isn't Japan and is instead in some forest full of dangerous monsters. Strangely, he cannot recall much things regarding his past but besides the fact that he's Japanese and with his current common sense, that this forest is abnormal. He then spots a Darkwyrm near a tree and decides to fight with it but ends up getting chased instead so he attempts to lure the worm into a disadvantaged position. After both of them fall off a cliff, the Darkwyrm ends up dead, ending the first fight that he has had in his new life. Once he gains the experience from the dead Darkwyrm, he notices he's max level and looks at his evolution options. Randomly,〖Voice of God〗actives and tells him to become the strongest and expects to see great things from him. He is bewildered about this but doesn't think too hard on it and chooses to evolve into a Baby Dragon. In the end, he obeys the wishes of〖Voice of God〗and makes his goal to aim for the very top with all of his power.

When drinking some water from a lake, he hears some noises and turns around to see a group of about 20 Darkwyrms. With his newfound strength, he goes to fight the group of Darkwyrms. Once five minutes of pure fighting pass, he successfully defeats all the Darkwyrms, gaining some experience and a new skill. After some minor fights with enemies like Graywolf and some other weak enemies, his level increases to 20. When roasting some meat with〖Baby Breath〗, he overhears some voices that seem to be coming from a young man, young girl, and an old man. For the past few days, he's been feeling lonely considering the lack of human interactions so he quickly finishes eating the meat and heads towards the voices. When he encounters them, he tries to communicate with the group of humans but the young man who looks like the leader takes out his sword and slashes at him. Seeing his status, his name is Doz Doglemaad and with a few more attempts to try to show he's friendly, the old man then fires some magic at Illusia that paralyzes him, causing the realization that he's mere prey in their eyes. Fortunately, the young girl has a kind heart and convinces the other two to stop attacking and heals him. The other two leave while the young girl stays to assure the paralysis magic goes away while nameless Illusia inspects her and discovers her name to be Myria Milleania.

Randomly, a scream is heard in the distance which seemed to be from Douz and the old man. Miria quickly puts nameless Illusia on a nearby tree and heads off to the scream after saying goodbye to him. A large roar is then heard making the earth shake with some more screams in the mix. Once the paralysis effect has mostly worn off, he heads off to the scene and sees a huge dragon in front of him and checks it's status. The status shows that it's a Little Rock Dragon and he notices Miria, Douz, and the old man beneath the dragon's feet with blood coming out of them. With such a fearsome opponent before him, he's filled with huge amounts of fear and tries to calmly think about the situation. He concludes that the chances of him defeating such an opponent is a straight perfect zero. The only reason he came is that he expected the trio to help him out but all of them are fainted on the ground instead causing complications. Instead of trying to defeat the dragon, he decides to save the trio, so he gets the dragons attention and after a little bit of fighting, he manages to land a〖Dragon Punch〗inside it's mouth where there's no rocky layers causing it to falter for a moment. In that small opportunity, he goes to the old man and sees that he's completely dead and then goes to Douz but there's a tree crushing his leg, making it hopeless since he cannot lift the tree up. He then notices Miria about to be swallowed into the broken ground caused by the dragon and barely snatches her neck in time by his mouth, quickly running away.

During the escape, at least three grey wolves appear and chase after them because of the smell of blood coming from Miria. Once he outran them, he realizes that Miria's health is occasionally going down and lays her down on the ground. He tries his best to recall the memory of her healing him with〖Rest〗and attempts to use〖Rest〗on Miria. After repeating the chant countless times, a warm light envelopes Miria and her injuries start to recover a little. As a result of using〖Rest〗repeatedly, his MP is now 0 causing him to feel weak. He decides to go to the direction where Miria and her group came from in order to find a human settlement. Suddenly, two grey wolves appear behind them and he notices their plan to have the two grey wolves in front to be the dummies while some hidden ones will appear and attack him. The wolves were unfortunately smart enough to notice him not taking the bait and decide to all attack him at once revealing five wolves in total. Surprisingly, one of the wolves was a high level and acted as some sort of leader. With such an unfavorable situation, he decides to resort to a hit and run tactic which enrages the wolf leader causing it attack its fellow wolf. Nameless Illusia hastily throws Miria away in order to lighten his weight to increase his speed. As a result of the speed gain, he was able to defeat the wolf leader. After picking Miria back up and being hit a few more times, he loses his consciousness for a bit and once it returned, he noticed that he has a dead grey wolf in his mouth and when looking around, he sees the remains of two dead grey wolves with the last one running away showing the aftermath of his rampage. He immediately goes to check on Miria and sees that she's still alive but barely and carry's her on his back. Finally, he finds a human settlement but since it was night, there was no one around so he raises his voice loudly which alerts the villagers. As a dragon/monster, an arrow is shot into his shoulder by a villager which causes him to run away.

As his body is in a very poor state, he goes back into the forest and finds a small cave to rest in so his injuries could heal. Since his MP recovered, he uses〖Rest〗on himself a couple of times. While thinking about some things, a random Darkwyrm appears and tries to run away but he quickly kills it for food. Wanting to level up more and evolve, he finds a Darkwyrm and corners it so escape is not an option at all for around 5 minutes which causes it to use〖Group Call〗skill. A large amount of Darkwyrms appear in an enraged state and then after a little massacre, his level increased to 25, meeting the evolution conditions. After checking his evolution options and some thinking, he decides to evolve into a Young Plague Dragon because of the〖Humanization〗skill. Blinded/fooled by the description, he realizes that he doesn't immediately get the skill, sadly, but will eventually. With what he has been through lately, he goes over his status to inspect any newly acquired skills/titles to gain a basic understanding of them.

Since his level is currently low, he ventures out to find some low leveled monsters but is stopped in his tracks by a spider and finds out it's a Taranturouge. Given an opportunity, he escapes using〖Roll〗since the spider was currently stronger than him but the spider pursues him. With a upcoming cliff approaching, nameless Illusia manages to fly over it but the spider is able to cross safety too. With no signs of losing it, he rolls over a variety of monsters during the chase causing his level to increase to 8. Now with his new stats, a fierce battle occurs between them and nameless Illusia ends up winning raising his level to 14.

Shortly after, he secludes himself inside a cave to rest since the previous battle was a tough one. Inside the cave, he cooks the meat of a grey wolf he killed and uses some red bean-like fruits for the meat giving him a new title related to cooking. After the meal, he thinks to himself that this would be a great place for a base and really regrets picking this evolution path since it's a path of evil, so interactions with humans will be very rare. Once fully recovered, he worries if the〖Humanization〗skill will appear at all so he goes outside to level up. He comes across a wriggling puddle and when inspecting it, his head suddenly starts hurting but he at least knows it's a Slime that gives off an ominous feeling. Afraid of this unique slime, he runs away in fear, successfully escaping from the slime's grasp. He questions why he was so afraid even though it was so weak but doesn't linger on it for long.

Spotting a vase with it's mouth side pointing downsides, he approaches and lifts it so he can use it to store food but due to his naive behavior, it attacks him showing it's actually a monster. He views it's status revealing it to be a Potortoise. He attempts to kill it many times leading it to only recover it's health back which annoys nameless Illusia so he just throws it off a cliff which does the job. Due to the〖Group Call〗skill it had, ten more vase turtles appear on the other side of the cliff and when he goes to fight with them, the vase turtles use some kind of strategic tactic that successfully works. Due to their fall weakness, he picks up a vase turtle and fly's up while using〖Baby Breath〗towards the ground, gaining even more attitude. He then throws the vase turtle towards the ground which kills all the ones stacked up including the one falling down, but there's still one more vase turtle alive so he just uses his newly acquired skill〖Star Drop〗again and kills it which increases his level to 22. Along the way back home with his loot from the vase turtles, he encounters a Giant Potortoise]]. Nameless Illusia knew that he had no chance of winning based on it's status and attempts to run away. Midway the chase, he loses his loot because of it's〖Hi-Slow〗skill and comes up with a plan to use the impact of it's tackle to get across the cliff nearby. The plan barely works resulting him being heavily injured but still alive nevertheless while the Great Vase Turtle falls down the cliff, ending up dead which increases his level to 30.

Finally returning back home, he places the vase pot filled with meat that he recovered back in the deep parts of the cave and goes back outside to explore. He finds a variety of plants and kills a pack of grey wolves to add to the meal he'll have. On a daily basis, he mostly just hunted for food while creating things with there also being Orangurang watching him while laughing but nothing major. When going out again, he hears some strange footsteps in the distance and goes to examine what's producing those footsteps which ends up in finding a thing resembling a bear. He checks it's status and it's known as a Claybear. Since it was a opportunity to gain materials for pottery, he carefully observed it's habits which gave him important info like it's belly can transform into a huge mouth. Nameless Illusia decides to surprise attack the the Clay Bear when it's eating, commencing a battle. A rough battle occurs that comes to a eventual close of nameless Illusia winning. His level increases to 33 and he also gains the〖Nutcracker〗skill.

Spending several trips between his home and the corpse of the Clay Bear, he finishes collecting all the clay and uses some of it to create about 10 vases. With the still leftover clay, he starts making renovations to his home to make it nicer and more comfortable, taking about 3 days to complete. Having accomplished this, he then goes out to hunt for some more supplies. When discovering a beautiful looking red flower, a black mass suddenly appears trying to bite him but knocks it away by reflex and ready's himself for battle. Once he got a clear look of the black mass, it looked like a Black Lizard and when identifying it, it was a Venom Princess Lacerta. With it's small body, it toke advantage of it's high agility to run into nameless Illusia's blind spot and used〖Clay Gun〗as a decoy to draw nameless Illusia's attention in which the Black Lizard used that chance to land on his shoulder and poisoned him. Feeling an awful heat at his shoulder, he hits a nearby tree causing the Black Lizard to fall off and dashing off somewhere. At first, he thought his resistance would pull through, but it was some kind of unique poison that even he couldn't resist. Through a little thinking, he comes to a conclusion that he needs the Black Lizard to detoxify the poison since there's no nearby herbs that can cure such a poison. He forms a plan that involves him running away and catching the Black Lizard once it's near enough since he doubts the black lizard wants to let her prey leave. After successfully luring her, he rolls after her, beginning a rolling race/chase. During the chase, he uses his〖Baby Breath〗to accelerate himself which causes him to directly hit the Black Lizard and throws her into the air towards a cliff. Realizing he's about to lose his only current way to cure the poison, he goes to save the Black Lizard and manages to catch her in a hug but loses his consciousness once he landed.

Waking up, he discovers the Black Lizard nearby and tries to get the detoxification but unexpectedly, the Black Lizard comes over and cures the poison on her own accord. With the Black Lizard being all friendly with him and even letting him pat her, he recognizes her as an ally/friend and not an enemy anymore. Wanting to rest, he goes back home with Black Lizard following him and both fight a pack of grey wolves along the way, killing them together. Both rest at the cave and go out to explore then when following a sweet scent and finding a beautiful poisonous red flower, Black Lizard detects a monster concealing it’s presence nearby which turns out to be a two headed bulldog looking monster. Reading the monster's status, it's a Twinheads. A team battle then transpires and after a harsh and lengthy fight, he and Black Lizard come out on top with heavy injuries with nameless Illusia's level increasing to 37. At the end, he notices that he never really wanted the〖Humanization〗skill but just wanted a companion to help his loneliness but to his surprise, he gains the〖Humanization〗skill shortly after.

With the unexpected skill appearing, he waited until Black Lizard was asleep and went out to test it. Seeing his new appearance from the reflection on a lake, he sees that it's barely human looking and goes back into his dragon form. Going back home in disappointment, he spots a beast woman and female swordsman near the cave entrance. He gets nervous and decides to observe their actions while barking once to get Black Lizard's attention to get out of there. Thinking it's a perfect opportunity to try out the skill, he transforms back into his humanized form and arrives at the entrance of the cave causing fear in the duo. The duo then attack him causing him to fall down on his stomach while the duo leave running away.

Almost fully recovered from the attack, he gets Black Lizard to poison some dried meat for those monkeys who always come by to steal his food. Some time passes and four Orangurang appear at the meat tree with one falling down to the ground in a poisoned state. The rest are filled with anger and go to confront him and Black Lizard. With nameless Illusia's current strength, the three Orangurang were no match for him, but halfway through the battle, all four Orangurang use their〖Monkey Whistle〗skill, calling over a Giant Orangurang into the fray. Having the tables turned, the situation becomes dire since these Orangurang outnumber them and have enough intelligence to use strategic tactics causing issues to arise. With almost no way of winning normally, nameless Illusia uses the poisoned Orangurang as hostage and tries to negotiate with the leader since it has the ability to communicate through the〖Telepathy〗skill. With the leader not accepting anything he's offering, he resorts to a duel between them in which the leader does accept since it's a normal custom to them. A wild duel takes places with Black Lizard and the Orangurang watching and in the end, nameless Illusia narrowly comes out as victorious while losing consciousness and having his level increased to 39.

Having his consciousness returned, he learns that he was brought back to his cave by the four Orangurang nearby. As a result of defeating the former leader of the Orangurang, it made him the new leader causing all the Orangurang to become his followers. Black Lizard doesn't favor them and wants to kill them but he stops that and decides to make use of the Orangurang which proved fruitful. He used them to gather food/ingredients, taught them how to make dry meat, do pottery, make tools, and etc, making overall work a lot easier. Once they were all done learning, they all went out hunting and a random scream for help is heard. The scream seemed familiar to him and recognizes that it most likely came from Miria.

He tells everyone else to stay here while he goes to save Miria but Black Lizard doesn't listen and follows him. She collides with a rock when trying to catch up and is forced to stop, he goes to check on her and sees that she has an injured foot but is generally OK, so he resumes rolling to Miria. While rolling, he's plagued with the decision of whether to keep the life he has currently or wanting to be a human. With no answer appearing, he just continues going to the direction where Miria is, showing that he truly still wants to be human. When Miria comes into view, he sees that she's getting attacked by four Mahawolf. After driving off two of them and killing the rest, his level reaches the max and he goes to interact with the frightened Miria. She manages to recognizes him as the same baby dragon from before and her face brightens up. A bunch of Mahaa Wolves then appear breaking the little reunion so he gestures Miria to get on his back and runs off to a cave to keep Miria safe. With Miria safe behind, he goes to the center of the cave and fights the incoming Mahaa Wolves. After killing the few in front of him, he looks towards the entrance and doesn't see anymore, strangely. He goes back to Miria and looks over his next evolution options since it appears to be safe for now but chooses not to evolve yet since he can't exactly decide what to pick.

Outside the cave, he gets taught a bit about the language from Miria and with his new understanding, he now understands her general situation. Miria asks if he has a name to which he denies and she decides to name him after her favorite flower, the Illusia, finally getting rid of his nameless status. Miria gets on his back again and another Mahaa Wolf appears to which he kills swiftly. Running towards the village, he hears faint, large footsteps of the Little Rock Dragon even though it's not supposed to be in this area. Even more Mahaa Wolves appear chasing them so he stops and destroys them all. During his fight, he notices that the Little Rock Dragon's footsteps are heading towards the village. Detecting about five more Mahaa Wolves, he engages them but to his surprise, there's a slender man holding the Little Rock Dragon's egg on top of one of the Mahaa Wolves who seems to be Douz. Checking his status, he figures out he's in a abnormal state and fights him and the other Mahaa Wolves. The fight comes to a short close with the Little Rock Dragon appearing in the distance and Douz riding away towards the village with the egg, leaving Illusia to deal with the Mahaa Wolves. With a quick battle, Illusia defeats them and heads to the village with Miria in haste.

Arriving at the entrance of the village, he's notices five collapsed villagers with one barely trying to stand with his spear. Out of the five people, one was dead and next to the villagers was a leftover Mahaa Wolf that Douz rode on. Quickly killing the Mahaa Wolf, Miria then jumps off of him to tell everyone Illusia is friendly and goes over to a kid named Agnes who was the dead one of the group. The spearman, who Illusia inspects to see his name to be Gregory Grimm, tells Miria to take the villagers and escape while he goes with Illusia to the center to deal with Douz since she's in a bad state. Now at the center of the village, he sights Douz near a tower with several villagers bleeding on the ground next to him. Finally catching up to him, both him and Gregory fight Douz to stop his madness and get the egg back. Illusia tries to knock him out but fails to do so and because of the failure, Douz takes an injured child as a hostage. He climbs up the tower and Illusia shakes the tower at the bottom but only the child falls to which he catches. At the top of the tower, Douz boldly shows the egg to the Little Rock Dragon in the distance and suicides with the egg by falling off the tower.

Now forced to fight an extremely enraged Little Rock Dragon, he tries to think of a way to attack since it's defense is too high but is stopped by a tail whip by it which heavily damages him. Just when it was about to tail whip him again, Gregory and some other villagers also join the battle to provide support attracting it's attention away from him. They managed to attack it twice but when checking it's stats, the damage it received was small. The Little Rock Dragon then uses it's〖Earthquake〗attack, even when he alerted everyone to back off, they all still got damaged either way. Suddenly his〖Voice Of God〗skill increases to level 4 and starts talking to them about how there's no way to win but to only run away. Ignoring it's warning, he continues to fight the Little Rock Dragon and looks over which evolution would be the best fit for this situation. While doing that, he randomly gains a new skill called〖Laplace Interference Authority〗that instantly calculates all the possibilities for the evolution's but he stops it midway because all the possibilities have really low chances or absurd things that he wouldn't do. He goes to drag Gregory out of an earth crater and is about to evolve into a Little Arc Dragon but is stopped by Gregory. Gregory then informs Illusia that he has the eyes of a human even though he's a literal dragon. By Gregory's intuition, he knows that what he's about to say will stray from Illusia's true purpose and tells him to forgive him since it might be selfish and cruel even. Finally saying it, he tells Illusia to kill him and begs him to save the village. Understanding what he means, he fulfills his wishes and sends Gregory's head flying off, shocking all the villagers nearby.

Feeling a sense of emptiness, he swears to Gregory in his heart that this village will be saved. He resolves himself and commits to evolving and decides to evolve into the next evolution of his current one, a Plague Dragon. Gaining the strength and determination of a true dark dragon, he has a rematch with the Little Rock Dragon. Now able to fly more freely and better, he uses it to his advantage to attack it's nape. A〖Sand Breath〗and tail whip comes towards him but he evades them with ease. Out of anger, the Little Rock Dragon ready's its〖Earthquake〗skill but is stopped by Illusia's roll attack causing it's posture to fall greatly. Using his new〖Wing Slash〗continuously at it's neck, he then fly's to the top of the tower while the Little Rock Dragon roars at him and charges at the tower. Kicking off the tower and descending below, the Little Rock Dragon crashes into the tower and stretching it's neck to intercept the falling Illusia. Managing to reach it before it launched a〖Sand Breath〗, Illusia lands his〖Neck Breaker〗skill on the Little Rock Dragon's weakened neck which ultimately kills it, increasing his level to 19.

Suddenly after the fight, Miria and some girl named Marielle appear before him. Mariel strikes him with magic dealing barely any damage while Miria tries to convince her that he is the same dragon who saved her before. Miria then stretches her hands towards him but he roars and claws at the ground beneath her. Showing that he's not friendly, Mariel hits him with light magic and even though it wouldn't do a whole lot, Illusia exaggeratedly backs away in misery/pain and fly's off away from them. Not wanting to have Miria come looking for him in the depths of the forest when he leaves, he decided to put up an act to solve the girl's naive behavior. Landing somewhere, he coincidentally finds a flower he'd never seen before and finds out it's the flower Miria named him after, the Illusia. While running, he comes across a pack of Grey Wolves and annihilates them. After running a fair amount, a cliff comes into view and he stops running immediately when hearing a familiar noise. Looking around to see Black Lizard nearby, he apologizes to her in his head for leaving her behind with an injured foot alone in a dangerous forest and carefully pets her with Black Lizard looking all happy.

Walking back to the cave with Black Lizard, he all of a sudden feels an unpleasant sign, using his〖Presence Sense〗skill, he notices the same Slime that he was afraid of before moving straight towards the village. Thinking that it could of been the cause of all of this since it was the only other being to have a abnormal status besides Douz and the Mahaa Wolves, he checked it's new status showing it had now evolved into a Forte Slime and grown a lot stronger. Not wanting the village to be destroyed even further and keeping his promise with Gregory, he goes to intercept the Slime. With the Slime having the intelligence on the same level as a human, a ton of skills that help it in attacking and recovering with a super flexible body, it's almost unkillable with Illusia's current strength. He tries to attack it through a variety of ways but all end up pointless even with Black Lizard's support. Fortunately, when given the opportunity, Black Lizard tries using her trump card, her unique poison into the Slime which actually does take effect causes the Slime to focus on her. Illusia not being able to protect her, the Slime successfully secures her inside his body but Illusia saves her and she rolls away knowing how much of a burden she is in this battle. Within that time, it copied the〖Detoxify〗skill Black Lizard has which removed the poison bringing his state back to normal. Three Mahaa Wolves appear at the Slime's command and during the short gang battle, the Slime transforms into a Mahaa Wolf mixing in with the rest. Illusia attacks the one coming at him but that Mahaa Wolf turns into countless spikes, hurting him. Withstanding the pain, he deals with the other Mahaa Wolves.

No other options left, Illusia plans to use his〖Nutcracker〗skill while diving straight down the cliff with the Slime in his hold since〖Star Drop〗didn't work. Grabbing the Slime in it's spiky form and ignoring it's questions, he starts flying towards the cliff in the distance. He fly's to the highest attitude he can reach and dives straight down once above the cliff. Seeing many rocks visible in the river below that has a raging and uncontrollable current, he decides to aim at one of the rocks. The Slime desperately tries to reduce the falling speed by shooting it's spider thread towards the walls but the thread is stopped short by Illusia's claw. He changes his positioning where he's above the Slime, pushing it towards the rock during the fall to avoid direct impact and to have the Slime receive most of the impact. Ignoring the Slime's pleas for it's life, he reaches the rock, causing the Slime to be smashed into complete smithereens while his claws crack and severe pain is felt on both of his hands. Managing to repel his body so only his legs take the impact and not his body, the scales on his leg shatter and the bones get distorted heavily. The Slime's tentacles attached to him still remain pulling him towards the remnants of the rock, knocking him out unconscious with him last remembering his entire body being swallowed up by the river.

### Harunae, Land of the Desert Arc

With Illusia's consciousness slowly returning after a deep slumber, he opens his eyes to reveal a wide sea before him. Noticing his body giving off an unpleasant feeling that might even last a couple of days, he checks his status to see he's fully recovered and in a normal state. Feeling hungry from his long sleep, he begins rolling around this new sandy land in search of some prey to eat. He finds all different kinds of creatures but ignores them since some don't look too appealing and others look quite strong. During his search, he discovers a spectacle of rocks arranged together shaping something like a big Japanese Yen. It was huge and more than ten of them were arranged in the surroundings leading him to look around it to find out it was a magic formation created by humans. Thinking it's some kind of human village, he flew up to scout it out and to his surprise, the scale of this civilization could only be thought of as a city.

Leaving the area where the city resides in, he thinks about what kind of home he should have but switches to prioritizing food first and walks towards a noticeable cactus nearby that looks like a hairy caterpillar. He carefully approaches it and touches it to see that the thorns bend without sticking to his hand, clearing any danger, so he swings at it diagonally, cutting the lower part. With〖Status Inspection〗, the cactus is called a Cactus Thorpupa and Illusia proceeds to drink and eat it's contents. Eating all the Cactus Thorpupa in the nearby vicinity to satisfy his hunger, he now wants meat and while thinking of meat, a pile of sand starts moving to which he fly's backwards to collect information on whatever that pile of sand is.

A strange long eared desert rabbit appears out of the pile of sand and Illusia observes it while concluding that it must have woken up from the sweet scent of the Cactus Thorpupa. He checks it's status which shows it's a Miniature Ballrabbit and that it's an absurdly weak monster. The Ballrabbit goes up to the leftover pieces of some cactus and stuffs it's cheeks. Finally sensing Illusia's presence, it turns around, matching eyes with Illusia and raises a small cry as it attempts to hide by digging. Not having any intention to do anything towards the Ballrabbit, Illusia walks away in the opposite direction but then hears the sounds of rustling. Turning around expecting the Ballrabbit to be there, a scorpion is instead seen approaching the Ballrabbit. Confirming it's status on that it's a Baby Scorpion, he didn't want to interfere in it's hunting but his body involuntarily moved. Killing it with ease, the Ballrabbit from before stares at him and approaches him realizing Illusia helped him. At first he didn't want to take the Ballrabbit as a companion because of various of reasons but thinks of the fact that it can make an underground base when evolved enough with it's〖Dig〗skill so he decides to help protect and level it.

Eating the scorpion he just killed, Illusia advances forward through the desert with Ballrabbit on his head. His〖Presence Sense〗skill then caught something so he roars to get the monster's attention. Around thirty bugs that range from human size to dog size pop out and Illusia goes to the nearest one which is a scorpion just like the previous one, using〖Paralysis Claw〗on it while crushing all of it's means to attack. Putting Ballrabbit down, Illusia signals it to attack and Ballrabbit timidly approaches the scorpion. Ballrabbit attempts to damage it by continuously tackling it but doesn't have a single effect so instead tries attacking it's ears on a weaken spot made by Illusia. Seemingly tired after all of those attacks, it looks up at Illusia thinking it was all useless but Illusia urges it to keep on trying. Using it's last method to attack, it's〖Light〗skill, it finally does damage to the scorpion. Noticing the paralysis wearing off, Illusia smashes the scorpion's head, finishing it off.

Checking the status of Ballrabbit, it's level seems to have been maxed out and Ballrabbit faces the scorpion. Seeing that it was trying to eat the scorpion, Illusia throws the corpse far away and forces the meat inside of Ballrabbit out since it is poisonous. The Ballrabbit's belly rumbles therefore Illusia puts it on his head and returns to the place with the leftover cactus. Illusia cuts up the cactus and Ballrabbit eats the whole content of the cactus that was cut out, seemingly still hungry, it asks for more. Cutting up even more pieces, Ballrabbit proceeds to eat all of it resulting in it growing to the size of a watermelon. It's status now show it has evolved into a Small Ballrabbit. Picking up Ballrabbit, Illusia walks through the desert not using〖Roll〗because of Ballrabbit and even after the day became dark, no good base location was found. Seeing that Ballrabbit was getting sleepy, Illusia puts Ballrabbit down and decides to sleep for now.

Waking up, Illusia's notices his stomach feels weird and hears Ballrabbit but doesn't see it around so he gets up from the ground. There below him is Ballrabbit gasping for air, once it's breathing had calmed down, it was acting very lethargic so Illusia quickly fed it some cactus and it's expression was back to normal. Walking through the desert with Ballrabbit on top of his head, Illusia finds a sleeping leopard and tries to inspect it from afar which works revealing that it's a Garpanther. Since it was way too strong for Ballrabbit, Illusia chooses to kill it by himself for meat. The leopard is quick so Illusia tries to have Ballrabbit inside his mouth so he can use〖Roll〗, seeing that Ballrabbit has absolutely no intention of getting inside, Illusia just catches him with his mouth. Rolling towards the leopard, the leopard awakens and runs away after seeing Illusia, making it a race. After a struggle between the two, Illusia manages to finish the race with a〖Paralysis Claw〗making the leopard unmovable. Ordering Ballrabbit to attack the leopard, Ballrabbit obeys after some protests and eventually does some damage to it and when the leopard's paralysis was wearing off, Illusia finishes it off.

Removing the Ballrabbit away from the leopard and checking it's status, it's level is now 6 and Illusia's own level is now 22. Once done eating the leopard, the two set off once again looking for more prey. In the distance, a three-necked camel is seen and Illusia closes the distance by flying while checking it's status to see that it's a Motaricamel. Testing〖Plague Breath〗on the camel to see the skill's effect and ending the fight quickly using〖Paralysis Claw〗, Illusia as usual orders Ballrabbit to attack it but randomly, one of the camel heads suddenly coughed so he quickly killed it making sure Ballrabbit doesn't get infected by the curse. Ballrabbit, tired from all the battles sleeps so Illusia finds a spot to rest in. In the morning, Illusia gets up to the sensing of an intense creature and when looking around, a huge centipede is charging towards him. Getting the feeling that it's not headed towards them, Illusia sees a carriage led by two horses trying to run away from it.

Putting Ballrabbit down nearby, Illusia uses〖Roll〗to chase after the centipede to try to change it's aggression so the carriage could be saved, but the centipede simply ignores him. Deciding to follow it for now since his attacks aren't effective, he checks it's status once up close to show it's called a Giant Sand Centipede. Attempting to damage it with〖Paralysis Claw〗, it fails causing his claw to be broken, showing how powerful it's〖Kings Shell〗is. Stabbing at the same spot with his fang with his body being dragged across the desert land, damage is seen but is shallow and the centipede still ignores him. By dragging down the centipede with his whole body, the carriage in front seems to be a bit faster now but the centipede starts gathering red light around it, starting to use it's〖Heat Ray〗skill. While still biting the centipede, Illusia spreads his wings and jumps with full power causing the centipede's lower body to float. Moving his body recklessly, the〖Heat Ray〗of the centipede manages to only graze the upper part of the carriage. The centipede then puts weight into it's lower body while Illusia tries to fly backwards but is sent flying towards the ground with his fang being taken away.

Rolling at the centipede again, the fire created from the〖Heat Ray〗burns down a curtain in the rear and once the curtain flew away, the contents of the carriage revealed to be people with beast ears who range from elderly man to tiny girls who are not even 10. Then a fat man appeared behind the beast people, kicking eight people off which puts a stop to the centipedes chase. Illusia comments that it was too cruel and questions why the fat man was laughing seeing the beast people being eaten by the centipede. By the time Illusia caught up, less than half of the people thrown remained, and in anger, Illusia fly's up into the sky vigorously, falling towards the centipede's head in a straight line. The centipede responds by shaking it's body, Illusia is parried away which throws him towards the ground for a second time. His surroundings become hazy and his body feels heavy making him understand the strength difference. Illusia blows a〖Scorching Breath〗into the centipede's face while scooping up the least injured beastman with his mouth. Taking it's prey, the centipede is now targeting him so Illusia bangs his tail against the body of the centipede, flying back due to the immense shock while guarding himself to reduce the damage and pulls off a successful escape.

Heading back to the location where he dropped off Ballrabbit, he inspects the beastman in his mouth, discovering her name to be Nina Nefah and race to be a Felis-human. Illusia gets shocked by the〖Slave〗title she has, exposing that this world he's in even has slavery built into it. Arriving at his previous location, he is reunited with Ballrabbit and spits out the beastman he has in his mouth. Illusia gestures Ballrabbit to use〖Rest〗on Nina causing her overall condition to become better. Trying to communicate with Nina once she's woken up with〖Humanization Technique〗which doesn't work out too well and when out of mana, he turns back into a dragon falling asleep exhausted. Awoken in the middle of the night, Illusia takes care of Nina for a bit, worried by her painful groans and when morning came, he leaves to go find food, leaving Nina's protection to Ballrabbit. Finding a cactus during his search and approaching it to find out it's no normal cactus when it suddenly got up. Illusia looks at it's status, seeing it's called a Cactus Thorfilius and engages in a fight with it, defeating it after getting used to it's attacks making his level rise to 29.

Dismantling the cactus-like monster's body carefully, Illusia carries most of the spoils back with his mouth to Ballrabbit and Nina. After the meal, Nina becomes more trusting of Illusia and Ballrabbit although mainly due to Ballrabbit's soft appearance and attitude. Coming to a resolution, Illusia uses〖Humanization Technique〗to try to communicate with Nina again. Having dealt with the form once already, Nina wasn't as frightened as the last time but Illusia still doesn't get much of an answer back for his questions. Running back to where he killed the Cactus Thorfilius with Nina on his back carrying Ballrabbit since Ballrabbit was still hungry, he sees eight beasts surrounding it's corpse that looked like hyenas and varied in different sizes. The hyenas all run away while carrying a piece of the needle camel and inspects one of them for it to be called a Yain-Yain. For some reason the smallest Yain-Yain runs up to Illusia and picks up a piece of the needle camel without directing any sense of hostility towards Illusia. An adult Yain-Yain comes and picks up the young Yain-Yain, running off in the distance while Nina notices the kind behavior Illusia displayed, gaining more trust from her.

Commencing a battle with a three-headed camel, Illusia defeats it with Ballrabbit also helping too, slightly to power level it. As a result of the battle, Ballrabbit becomes max level and as it was eating it's meal, it evolved into a Peach Ballrabbit. Calling out to Ballrabbit and Nina to get on him, he searches around for a body of water and finds something similar to that of an oasis. Arriving there, Illusia catches sight of something that looks like a slug, checking it's status for it be an Amagarashi. Enwrapped in a fight with it, Illusia kills it and some of it's Baby Amagarashi, leveling all the way to 36 then suddenly the oasis begins distorting only for it to actually be a swamp instead. Having Ballrabbit kill most of the remaining baby slugs, raising its level to 8 with Illusia stepping in at the end since it was slightly getting out of hand. Seeing that Ballrabbit and Nina are sleeping peacefully together, Illusia rests too and in the morning, he sees Ballrabbit nearing the lake thinking it's going to drink it, he chases after it only to see it purifying the water using its〖Clean〗skill. Persuading Ballrabbit with meat, he has it ask questions to Nina using〖Telepathy〗and Nina responds by saying she wants to stay by his side. Troubled by such an answer and abruptly gets a bad feeling using〖Presence Sense〗, he senses several signs approaching them at high speeds.

Trying to convince Ballrabbit and Nina to get inside his mouth so he can roll away, he is then interrupted by eight men riding on top of horses. Seeing their clear hostility towards them, he readies himself for battle while inspecting the stats of the strongest looking rider which reveals his name to be Hagen Baumann and that every one of the riders are soldiers of Haranae. With Illusia's overwhelming strength and Ballrabbit's〖Telepathy〗skill, all the riders become afraid and run away in fear. After a short rest, Illusia places Nina who was holding Ballrabbit onto his back, he advances towards the opposite direction the soldiers took which unfortunately leads them to encounter the same Giant Sand Centipede from before. He then throws the two on his back into the sky, catching them with his mouth then proceeding to roll away. During his roll, he kills a Motaricamel and narrowly avoids most of the centipede's〖Heat Ray〗but is regrettably struck by it just right as it was about to stop firing. Forced to stop his roll, he is put in a position where he thought he was gonna die but notices a large hole hole and approaches it as it's his only hope.

Managing to get inside the hole, the centipede follows right behind but gets stuck because of it's large size and struggles to move. Releasing the two inside his mouth now that the situation seemed safe for now, he takes advantage of the opportunity given to him and attacks the centipede's front legs using〖Kamaitachi〗but gives up seeing as it won't do much. With Ballrabbit behind him carrying the unconscious Nina using〖Internal Body Storage〗, he travels deeper into the hole and spots two ant-like monsters that are called Red Ogre Ant's in the passage way, engaging in battle with them. Although slightly pushed back the ant's teamwork, he manages to defeat the two ant's, increasing his level to 42. Focusing his eyes ahead, he feels multiple signs coming while Ballrabbit readies his〖Light〗skill and sees this time there's three ants with four more ants following behind. As Illusia struggles to find a way out of this situation, even more ants appear to a point where he gave up counting. Making a hole in the wall with his fangs, he tells Ballrabbit to go inside it and roars as loud as he can, rolling towards the horde of ants. Managing to kill one ant which raises his level to 44 with some effort, he sees Ballrabbit hasn't run away yet and isn't going leave him behind, Illusia quickly rushes towards it, picking it up with his mouth. Going back to the entrance, he sees the centipede escaping from the hole and follows it. Once outside, he sees the centipede getting attacked by countless ants and rolls off in the distance using the centipede as a distraction.

Not being able to find any other cities besides the walled off one, Illusia uses〖Humanization Technique〗to inform Nina of the plague he emits and asks if there's any other cities. Eventually getting an answer, there supposedly is a small port city that's closer than Haranae and can be found along the coast. Undoing his transformation, he walks along the beach with the Nina and Ballrabbit and finds a Motaricamel, killing it. After eating the camel, Illusia creates a Bone Fishing Rod using materials from the camel and tells Nina to use it. The three then go fishing in the ocean, catching an Eagle Bass and a variety of other fishes. Illusia heads back to land and the three eat the fish they obtained. Resting up enough, Illusia reconfirms how far the port city is and asks Ballrabbit to teach〖Rest〗to him and Nina. Catching two vultures that are called Haranae Condors, both Illusia and Nina try using〖Rest〗on the two vultures which turns out successfully. All of a sudden, Nina coughs up blood and Illusia checks her status to learn that she's been afflicted with a curse. Then Ballrabbit reveals the shocking truth that the port city they were going to never existed and that Nina planned to pass away peacefully.

Laying Nina down to rest, she apologizes to him and wants Illusia to stay until the end. Unexpectedly, Illusia's〖Presence Sense〗strongly responds and he hears the footsteps of a horse approaching. A large man on top of a horse is seen in the distant who is a lot stronger than the previous soldiers and goes by the name of Adoff Ahrens based on a status check. While the two were in a fierce duel, Nina interrupts it trying to stop Illusia, and Ballrabbit telepathically tells Adoff that they want to talk which gets rid of all hostility in Adoff. Adoff then states he has a companion and calls out to his companion by the name of "Illusia" which gets Illusia's attention. Suddenly the space where Illusia was looking at shook and a man appeared straddling on a winged white horse who doesn't seem to be very friendly, starts attacking, ignoring Adoff's words. Heavily overwhelmed by Illusia's (Human)〖Heavens Drop〗skill, Illusia checks his status to see he's in a bad state and paralyzed. He checks the stats of Illusia (Human) to see that some information is not displayed just like with the Slime from before and that he has an absurd amount of skills. He then sees Ballrabbit trying to attack Illusia (Human) but ultimately doesn't do much and is kicked away. As his paralysis has faded away enough for him to move, he watches Adoff getting defeated trying to observe Illusia (Human) and when he sees Nina about to be killed by him, he rushes in to interrupt him but is absolutely played with around enough. When he thought he was going die by his hands, Illusia (Human) tells him to come to Haranae 4 days later and knocks Illusia unconscious.

Regaining his consciousness, he sees Ballrabbit has captured and healed Adoff but doesn't see Nina to which Ballrabbit tells him she's been kidnapped by Illusia (Human). Illusia then goes to interrogate Adoff to get information. He discovers that Illusia (Human) is a Brave Man signifying him as a "Hero", his history, the 500 year cycle regarding the Demon King and Hero and that Nina will be executed. Deciding that his current state is too weak, for the next four days he'll boost his level to get stronger and his first target is the Giant Sand Centipede. He finds it but it's level is even higher and all of it's injures from the ants have healed. The Centipede then notices Illusia, causing Ballrabbit to drag Adoff off to safety. Illusia picks up a rock nearby, flying up to the highest he can go and dives downwards towards the centipede, attempting to use〖Nutcracker〗which then the centipede responds using it's〖Heat Ray〗and unfortunately Illusia doesn't make it in time so he fly's away, the rock is then destroyed barely doing any damage. With that strategy failing, Illusia uses〖Plague Breath〗on it and rolls around for a whole day to see if it'll weaken which it doesn't, noticing a big hill to the far right, he heads there intending to surprise the centipede. At the top of the hill, he fly's pass the centipede's head once the gap appeared, dodging and fending off all it's attacks and heads towards the tail trying to use it's〖Heat Ray〗to attack itself. Taunting the centipede with〖Whistle〗, the centipede then uses it's〖Heat Ray〗again and Illusia uses his〖Plague Breath〗to make it lose sight of him to which he bites and lifts the tail of the centipede over to where the beam is, successfully hurting the centipede to a point where it cut its body into two. Completely enraged, the centipede uses〖Heat Ray〗multiple times trying to kill Illusia. Lifting the half weighed centipede in the air, he plunges downwards bringing it's state to be more or less dead. Flying up in the air, Illusia plummets downwards using〖Roll〗, killing the centipede and raising his level to 57.

Using〖Rest〗several times to recover quickly, he heads back to Ballrabbit and Adoff while collecting some cactus and killing a Motaricamel on the way. Illusia meets up with the two at the swampy oasis, giving the food he gathered to them and discussing some things, gaining information about Kingdom of Ardesia and the Noah's Forest North. When the next day arrives, the three go back to where the centipede lies dead only to find Yain-Yains surrounding it trying to scavenge it but the Yain-Yains leave seeing as they dislike the centipede meat. Using the centipede's meat and the〖Poison Fang〗skill Illusia has, the three make a hundred poisonous centipede dumplings. Going back to the red ant's nest, Illusia has the two on standby while he scouts around for any ants and watches a Big Scissors get defeated by five ants. He intercepts the five ants carrying the scorpion, one ant gets pinned under the weight of the scorpion's body that was dropped and the other four he kills, lifting his level to 62. Lifting the scorpion off of it, he drags the ant across the ground back to where the dumplings are, throwing it into the carapace of the centipede while retreating away. He observes the ant and sees that ant goes towards the dumplings and picks up one with it's mouth, heading back to where it came from showing that Illusia's plan was successful.

Stealthily following the ant to make sure the ant properly carries the dumpling back to it's nest, he heals it and saves it from an Antlion Larva with it finally reaching it's nest. Going back to where Ballrabbit and Adoff are, the three make a base at a big cactus with Illusia flying around to survey the area, keeping track of how many ants they are coming in and out of the nest. After sometime, he finally sees more ants bringing in the dumplings into the nest and wanting to check if it's working, Illusia with his companions approach the hole to find two ants poisoned and hurt. One approaches him while the other retreats so he kills the one approaching ant that levels him up once then deciding to move forward into the nest together with Ballrabbit and Adoff. Going through countless passageways, he finally senses some ants behind but is deceived, getting instantly surrounded by ants. Noticing about more than eighty ants roughly around the area, he fights against the ants alongside with Ballrabbit and Adoff. Illusia gets trapped from the〖Clay〗skill and everyone is heavily overwhelmed by the ants numbers and teamwork, Adoff then uses〖Decoy〗causing all the ants to focus on him. Illusia rolls picking up Ballrabbit and collapses the ceiling dispersing the ants, undoing his roll, he spits out Ballrabbit onto his head while putting the unconscious injured Adoff in his mouth and flees to avoid being buried alive. Waving his claws and tail around hitting any ants or falling rocks nearby, his level continuously increases all the way to 69. He encounters a Big Red Ogre Ant and one other ant that stops his path that he quickly defeats which levels him up and continues running. Illusia kills two ants with his claws and then puts Ballrabbit in his mouth, starting a roll that completely overpowers and kills the remaining ants, raising his level all the way to the max.

Rolling a decent distance away from the nest, he spits the two inside his mouth out and both Illusia and Ballrabbit use〖Rest〗many times on the injured Adoff but isn't enough to heal Adoff's dominant arm, making it useless now. Now using the moment to evolve, he looks at his options and selects Ouroboros after thoroughly thinking through. Having grown a whole new head, that new head known as Partner goes all wild as it's a separate being and attacks Illusia to which he holds her down to control her. As his current stats aren't enough since he just evolved, he plans to visit the ant nest again alone to obtain the experience of their leader, the queen. First seeing how much he has changed, he kills a Motaricamel that lifts him to level 5 and discovers that his Partner is now in control of his recovery skills. As the next day arises, he wakes up and decides to go into the lower levels of the nest since tomorrow is the execution date. Leaving Adoff behind and bringing Ballrabbit and Partner, the three venture into the nest, both Illusia and Partner sensing some ants coming. Two ants appear who seem to be non-hostile at first glance, Ballrabbit discerns that they're surrendering. Through Ballrabbit's translation, the ants say they'll guide Illusia to the queen who will negotiate and Illusia accepts it, he first weakens the two ants and follows them deeper. He senses dozens of targets ahead and asks to bring the Queen Red Ogre Ant over alone which the queen does so. Keeping one of the two ants as hostages, the queen negotiates using〖Telepathy〗and Illusia mostly refuses most of it's proposals but accepts the one to eliminate the other nest with the help of some of the queen's ants.

Healing the injured ants there, he leaves the nest with the ants he was given. Marching for a few hours, two of the ants detach themselves from the group and come back with information regarding the enemy nest. The commander of the ants receives the info and makes formations for the group which then it draws a sketch of the plan for Illusia to understand. Five ants skitter away somewhere, mostly likely taking another path and the rest rush towards the enemy nest. Now in front of the nest, enemy ants appear from the nest, responding to them, the ally ants split up into two groups of ten while Illusia is in the center group with five other ants. Killing an ant to quickly increase his level, the ally ants from behind arrive and engage the enemy ants. Not sure who's an ally or enemy, he falls back to the rear to observe the situation, he uses〖Kamaitachi〗while Partner uses〖High Rest〗countless times through the battle, turning the battle into their favor. The five ants from before appear by making a hole and block the enemy nest's entrance although costing their lives. With no more reinforcements coming, the battle above ground ends with ten ally ant casualties and the enemies suffering eighty casualties. Breaking the closed entrance with〖Roll〗, both Illusia and ally ants enter the nest to have an underground battle. Leveling up many times, Illusia crushes the enemy ants and the battles lasts an exhausting ten minutes causing him to gain a new skill called〖Death〗. In the innermost part of nest, Illusia finds the queen and six of her bodyguards, the ally ants proceed to retreat, leaving Illusia questioning why to only notice the last suicide attack the enemy is carrying out which is collapsing the room. Partner releases the new〖Death〗onto the queen, instantly killing her, Illusia and the ally ants escape to officially become the winners of the ant war.

Following along with the ally ants, everyone makes it back to the nest. Finishing his business with the queen, he sets off to Haranae with Ballrabbit on his head and Adoff alongside two other red ants. Noticing that Adoff saw something, Illusia follows his gaze to find Hagen grieving over his favorite horse, Maria who is injured. Listening to Adoff's suggestion to use Hagen to expose Illusia's (Human) lies, he switches course towards Hagen. Hagen then notices Illusia and proceeds to run away only to trip and fall down. Adoff and Hagen have a little conversation regarding Illusia (Human) and the conversation ends with Hagen joining the cause too. The party continue onwards to Haranae and after a few hours, an arranged array of rocks came into view indicating they're near Haranae. Descending onto the ground and running until Haranae came into sight, everyone on his back gets off while he uses〖Humanization〗which now gives him a more human-like appearance than before. Entering the town, Adoff and Hagen reveal themselves to try to shake up the crowd and to expose Illusia's (Human) lies. Seeing Hagen about to be slain by Illusia (Human), Illusia rushes towards him and transforms into his dragon form.

Catching the swinging blade that was initially directed at Hagen at first, taking away one of the swords Illusia (Human) has. Knowing that letting this type of person roam free would be bad, Illusia resolves himself to kill him. Illusia (Human) now pulls out another sword and attacks, Illusia then braves through his〖Lucent Luna〗skill and manages to plunge his fangs into Illusia's (Human) shoulders. Illusia (Human) frees himself from Illusia's grasp and uses the nearby knights as a meat shield. Fighting off Illusia (Human) and brushing off the knights who attack him, Illusia gets tricked by Illusia's (Human)〖Mirage〗skill and accidentally hurts a knight badly, ordering Partner to heal the injured knight, the surrounding knights become dumbfounded. Illusia (Human) orders the wavering knights to attack to which they don't after seeing Illusia's kindness. Dodging his slash attack, Illusia (Human) summons his Pegasus and flies straight up to the sky with Illusia following after them. Wrapping himself and his Pegasus in〖Power〗and〖Quick〗, the two began aerial combat, but Illusia gets directly hit in the chest by〖Heavens Drop〗causing him to fall downwards and flips his body around to avoid landing on his back. Getting hit by Illusia's (Human)〖Earth Reversion〗, Illusia recovers himself from〖Autoregeneration〗and〖High Rest〗. Firing multiple〖Kamaitachi〗's, the Pegasus that Illusia (Human) was riding falls downwards.

Illusia grabs Illusia (Human) off of his Pegasus and flies up into the sky, reaching a certain height he starts descending towards the ground. The Hero shields himself using〖Physical Barrier〗and upon crashing into the ground, Illusia sees that Partner stole his sword named the Holy Sword Radim and swallows it whole. Illusia (Human) turns his back and starts running away. Chasing after him, Illusia (Human) then summons three Grand Worm's, Illusia responds by rolling which easily defeats the worms and raises his level by one. The Hero turns around and pulls out his third sword, the Cursed Sword Blood Sucking Princess, breaking through Illusia's scales but the Hero is thrown away by Illusia's roll. Getting a confusion effect by the sword, Illusia's roll is thrown off course which causes him to crash into a wall. Now in the residential area, Illusia (Human) summons another entity known as a Muscas Demilich, The Hero tries to kill it for lifeforce only for the summon to be killed by Partner's〖Death〗. The Hero tries to heal himself only to find his mana has run out and gets sent flying by Illusia, slamming into a building. He gets up and desperately tries to run away with Illusia following him, a crowd gathers a little ways from the Hero observing Illusia (Human) as he tries to call for Voice of God's for help. Healing the little girl Illusia (Human) just sliced at, Illusia searches for Illusia (Human) after he ran towards the masses of people to see him attacking multiple people. Healing the injured people, Illusia holds down the Hero with his foot and sees that the〖Voice of God〗has abandoned Illusia (Human). Noticing Adoff nearby, Illusia lets go of the Hero and has Adoff stab his sword into the Hero's chest, finally killing him causing his level to rise to 60. Meeting up with Nina and Ballrabbit, Illusia has a small conversation with Adoff and sends his farewells to him while flying off into the distance.

Flying through the sky for half of the day and seeing the moon high up in the sky, he finally spots the country Adoff mentioned, Ardesia. Thinking it would be unwise to approach the city any closer even though he's still far away, he lands on the ground and drops off Nina. She thanks Illusia and Ballrabbit for everything they have done for her in a sad tone but suddenly, he senses a human presence nearby. Turning around and lightly moving away from the area, he slams whatever was under the sand with his tail and spots someone. There was a man that fell on his back with sand splashed behind him and another man on a horse appears behind the first man, calling the man on the ground by his name, Cain to tell him that they need to fall back and report Illusia to the country. Cain assumes that Nina and Ballrabbit are being attacked by Illusia and refuses to fall back leaving the man on the horse to run away on his own. Nina tries to tell him that Cain has it all wrong but is stopped short by Illusia's tail slam on the ground. Wanting to be treated as a rogue monster so they will be less suspicious of Nina and to not have her leave a bad first impression, he puts up a act. During the little act, Ballrabbit falls off and turns its troubled gaze to Nina, Illusia doesn't know exactly what its thinking but generally sees what it wants. Then flying off a considerable distance out of Cain's reach which stops his pursuit, Illusia looks back to see Ballrabbit on the ground and thanks him in his head for being his little companion during his time in the desert to help with his loneliness. After thanking him, he fly's eastward not looking back making him alone with the only company being Partner now.

### Lithovar Settlement Arc

Spotting a river that seems connected to the ocean, Illusia sees a large forest over the river which is probably the forest Adoff mentioned, the one where the Lithovar live in. Following the river and entering the forest, he makes a quick inspection on some of his skills while Partner drinks water from the river with Illusia doing the same too. Raising his head, he sees a simple-designed stone building on the other side of the river, thinking that it's a decent base location, he fly's over the river cautiously. While walking around the place, he finds two-headed dragon statues just like himself placed near the building and as he gets closer, a presence is detected inside the building. Hearing a human's scream coming from inside, he makes a dash for the entrance and roars to get the monster's attention. A large lion looking monster comes out with it's fangs piercing a child's stomach. Checking it's status, the results show it's a Manticore and Illusia calls Partner to heal the child in it's fangs, the child's finger twitches showing it's alive but the Manticore sinks it's fangs even deeper. The Manticore, then leaps forward attacking, causing Illusia to block trying to find an opening which doesn't work out. Giving up on the half-baked defense, he attacks but the Manticore dodges all of his attacks so he lets the Manticore bite his shoulder while he bites it's stomach, injecting poison to it. Kicking the Manticore away and successfully landing a〖Wind Slash〗on it, it drops the child and proceeds to run away.

Running back to the where the child was dropped, Partner heals the child and Illusia checks it's status to confirm any abnormal status to find out it's a Lithovar...

### Alban, the Royal Capital Arc

After deciding to leave the forest where the Lithovar live in, Illusia flies off with Alo, Treant, and Nightmare. He then fly's for several hours trying to find a place that humans haven't settled in and finally doesn't spot anymore human roads marking the area as uncharted territory. Once he fly's over some random mountain pass, he spots a vast sea and fly's over it to try and spot any islands to land on. He comes to a sudden realization that the horizon that he thought was weirdly missing was finally coming into view in a unexpected way. At the end of the sea, he sees that the seawater is sloping downwards into a seemingly endless dark blue void like some enormous waterfall. After pondering and questioning about this whole situation, he spots a huge isolated island at the edge of the enormous waterfall and sees that it has mountains, cliffs, and gigantic trees on it giving it an unearthly vibe to it. Pondering even more again and worried, he resolves himself and descends onto the island with the intention of flying away if anything really dangerous appears.

Landing safely, Illusia then...
