The Reincarnation Room
Ryan's Dark Desire

Alastor is very doubtful about Ryan's identity. As a human, Ryan's strength was too strong. Reiji Maigo would not be able to give him that much power.

But of course, Ryan had no intention of explaining the source of his strength.

"As I recall, the Flame Haze's mission was to maintain the balance of the world. In order to make this happen, the Flame Haze will fight against the balance-destroying Denizens."

Ryan then looked at the pendant that Shana was wearing with a serious look. "The information about who I am and why I have powers beyond ordinary humans seems to have nothing to do with the balance of the world. Isn't that right, Shana, Alastor?"

The meaning of this statement is very clear. Ryan tries to tell Shana and Alastor that this matter is not within the scope that the Flame Haze should take care of.

"Is it possible, in your opinion, that my power has also caused distortions in this world?" Ryan said with a faint smile, "If that is the case, then I will voluntarily reveal my identity honestly to you."

Hearing this, Alastor fell silent.

Shana frowned for a moment. I think what Ryan said made sense. "You're right. The identity and origin of your strength, everything has nothing to do with the Flame Haze mission. We don't have to ask that."

Shana then said very simply, “Then, back to the topic of Reiji Maigo. How do you get the Treasure Tool (Hogu)?”

Treasure Tool (Hogu) is created by Crimson Denizen. Thus, such an object was usually in the hands of the Crimson Denizen or Flame Haze. Humans who have a Treasure Tool (Hogu) are very rare.

"If you're Mystes, then it's no surprise that you can have it." Alastor said, "But you're just a human being, this is very strange."

Mystes is a type of Torch that in its body holds the Treasure Tool (Hogu). They get the Treasure Tool (Hogu) at random. Even the Torch will not realize that in him there is a Treasure Tool (Hogu).

After the Torch runs out of its Power of Existence and disappears completely from this world, the Treasure Tool (Hogu) stored inside the Torch will go to another human who just became a Torch.

This kind of Treasure Tool (Hogu) will continue to move from one Torch to another Torch until someone extracts it from the Mystes body.

Because of its nature, this type of Torch is often referred to as a moving treasure.

Therefore, if Ryan is a Torch, then naturally Ryan can have a Treasure Tool (Hogu). But unfortunately, Ryan is just a human being.

"It's none of your business." Ryan sighed and said, "No matter how I get Reiji Maigo, you have no right to know."

As soon as Ryan's words came out, the entire room went silent.

Alastor was silent as if he was angry and reluctant to talk to Ryan again. While Shana, she just fell silent watching Ryan seriously.

This silent atmosphere made the situation even more heavy.

After a while, Shana finally spoke up. "Alastor, what do you think?"

Alastor just kept quiet not answering Shana's question, like he was thinking about something.

Shortly after, Alastor's voice finally came back. "Our mission is only punishing the Denizens who distort the world. Since this Human has nothing to do with the Flame Haze Mission, we better not be stubborn and leave here immediately."

What Alastor wanted to say was very clear. He does not want Shana to bother Ryan anymore and focuses more on hunting other Crimson Denizen.

In this world, the human who became the Flame Haze was not just a Shana.

In order to become the Flame Haze, the contractor had to sacrifice the existence he had, whether it was the existence of the past, present, and future. 

In other words, ever since man became the Flame Haze, the time on him would stop. As long as the Flame Haze was not killed, then they would live forever.

As a result, fellow Flame Haze aiming for the same prey was not a strange thing.

Most of the reason these people became Flame Haze was because they or their loved ones were victims of the Crimson Denizen.

Using hatred as the trigger, those people were willing to sacrifice themselves to make a contract with the Crimson Lord.

As the reason and purpose of the Flame Haze varied, they rarely cooperated in carrying out its mission. Unless they've known each other for a long time.

Unfortunately, Shana was very different from most other Flame Haze     

Shana became the Flame Haze not because of her hatred for the Crimson Denizen, but because Shana had been trained as the successor of the Flame Haze since she was a child.

Therefore, Shana had always been firm and obedient in carrying out her mission as the Flame Haze. He never once denied Alastor's orders.

But unfortunately, this time, for the first time, Shana denied Alastor's request.

“If his opponent is a Hunter, even if this human has strong strength, it does not deny the possibility he will lose.”

Shana said in a stern tone, "So, Alastor, I will continue to watch over him here! In addition, as long as Reiji Maigo is in his hands, there will definitely be another Crimson Denizen who will be eyeing him.”

Hearing Shana's argument, Alastor fell silent again.

Soon after, Alastor replied, "Then stay in this city."

Thus, Alastor and Shana's next plan this time had been decided

After which, Shana immediately stood up and looked at Ryan with a more humble attitude. “I'll keep an eye on you up close. If you meet Friagne and can't beat her, then I'll step in.”

After leaving a word like this, Shana did not wait for Ryan's reply and walked straight to the balcony. As soon as he arrived at the balcony, Shana jumped out of there. 

Seeing this scene, Ryan felt relieved as if he had solved a complicated problem. “Haah~”

“Finally she left too ..”

“Together with him, make me a little tormented inwardly.”

The inner torment that Ryan meant was the tormenting of Ryan in his dark desires towards Shana, thus making his mind a little tormented. 

Since she dated Aria, there has been a change of appetite for Ryan. Now, Ryan's taste for women is becoming more widespread. From initially only targeting women with a minimum of a high school student, now it has dropped to be younger again 

As an adult, Ryan knew it was all wrong. On the other hand, Ryan was relieved that he still had the emotion to love someone. Because in addition to the emotions of love and lust and the emotions of fighting and killing, Ryan was already barely feeling all the other emotions.

Even so, Ryan still did not like the emotions he felt towards Shana now. “I can't keep this up. I have to rehabilitate myself to get back to normal.”

“Luckily, in the world of The Asterisk War, Fan Xinglou was too strong and scary, so I didn't have any strange thoughts on him. However, in this world, Shana was an innocent and weak person. Just looking at it, I would love to ruin his innocence.” 

Unknowingly, Ryan let out a grinning smile as he imagined the desire to ruin Shana's innocence.

Seeing the reflection of his expression on the windowpanes, Ryan immediately shook his head. “No, no, no ..” 

“I have to eliminate all these thoughts!”

After a while of calming down, Ryan murmured, “Oke, since I've calmed down, now I have to keep in mind the information about Friagne from her Anime.”
