"What do you think about making a deal, Guild System?" – said Kojou as he stared at the guild timer, forcing them to return to the guild headquarters.
[Ding! Can F-Rank Adventurer: Akatsuki Kojou describe the content of the deal?]
"Certainly. My deal is simple: I will handle the intruder in this world, but a proper price must be paid for this task," – said Kojou, gazing curiously at the floating screen in front of him. Although he did not fully know the power of the other party, he was confident in his own strength, especially since he possessed absolute immortality and could not die, even if killed.
[Ding! Analyzing proposal of F-Rank Adventurer: Akatsuki Kojou]
"…" – Kojou stared silently at the floating loading screen, which didn't take long before finishing and giving him a response.
[Ding! It has been detected that F-Rank Adventurer: Akatsuki Kojou possesses sufficient power to handle this crisis.]
[Ding! The price to be paid to F-Rank Adventurer: Akatsuki Kojou has been determined.]
[Ding! You have received a new Quest.]
[Quest: Killing Monarch of Frost]
[Quest Rank: SS]
[World: High School of the Dead]
[Information: The Monarch of Frost is one of the Seven Monarchs and an incarnation of darkness. Although he has recently become the Monarch of Frost, his power can easily destroy this world, as it is impossible for living beings here to resist him.]
[Participants: 1 Member]
[Quest Reward: 250GP, 2,000 EXP, SSS Rank Ability: Source of Destruction, Promotion to D-Rank Adventurer]
[Note: The adventurer should remember that this is an emergency Quest, which is why the guild system has provided a very generous reward.]
"Source of Destruction…" – murmured Kojou, easily recognizing the reward granted by the guild. Source of Destruction was one of Anos Voldigoad's abilities, an extremely powerful skill that allowed him to wield destructive power.
"I wonder if Anos Voldigoad is a real person or just an anime character…" – murmured Kojou. He knew the guild could send people to anime and manga worlds, so he could only wonder if Anos was real since he obtained one of his abilities.
However, he quickly pushed these thoughts to the back of his mind as six pairs of black wings, resembling crow wings, sprouted from his back, and he soared toward the source of overwhelming magical power he sensed.

Unknown Location, Tokonosu City
"Finally, I can leave this cursed world…" – murmured a man with long silver hair and red eyes, wearing old black clothes resembling medieval noble attire.
The man had long fangs and pale skin, his entire presence radiating the essence of a vampire.
Boom*
Suddenly, overwhelming magical power erupted from him, shattering the ground beneath and cracking the sky as if it were crying, while blood rain began to fall.
"…" – the man closed his eyes as he directed his overwhelming magic to open an interdimensional passage to leave this world, where he had lived for over a thousand years.
Originally, he was not from this world but a servant of the Slavic Vampires in another realm. During their war with the Church, multiple dimensional rifts appeared, and he was sent to this world in the Middle Ages. He had been living here ever since, healing his injuries and avoiding the numerous forces in this realm.
Because of the cursed Church people, his wounds only healed after a thousand years of hiding and consuming human blood. When he appeared in public once, a group called themselves Vampire Hunters and attempted to kill him and all his servants. Since then, he operated in secrecy. Once he confirmed there were no more hunters, he dared to absorb humans' memories and turn them into zombies.
"Finally… I can return," – the man muttered with a twisted smile as he gazed at the stable blue portal before him, ready to transport him to another dimension.
Step*
(⊙_⊙)? – Shito stared at the blue foot emerging from the portal as someone unexpectedly stepped out.
Swish*
Shito instinctively moved away from the portal. His senses screamed danger from the newcomer, and he regretted using all his magical power to stabilize the portal, as he was not in a position to fight.
"Ith'sol Brith'or Vhandak!" – a horrible, unintelligible voice rang in Shito's ears as he felt a hand of overwhelming strength grip his throat.
"What the…!!" – Shito shouted, struggling against the hand holding him like a chicken awaiting slaughter.
The man before him had icy blue skin, glowing white eyes, long white hair cascading down his back, and wore strange clothes resembling his own but with a touch of Japanese style.
'Ice Elf…' – thought Shito, staring at the pointed ears of the man, radiating a terrifying aura.
"Ysoll Brithor Vhandaa!" – the Monarch of Frost glared at the insignificant being before him with disdain before spreading ice from his hand, turning Shito into an ice statue.
The ice used by the Monarch of Frost was not ordinary; it froze the soul. With a simple gesture, Shito turned into ice particles scattered by the wind, while his soul was devoured for knowledge.
Consuming a lower creature's soul took only a moment, and he gained all of Shito's memories.
"What a weak and pathetic creature…" – murmured the Monarch of Frost in Japanese. Although he did not understand the language moments ago, consuming Shito's soul granted him mastery over it.
"A powerful presence approaches…" – murmured the Monarch of Frost, staring at the sky as the reflection of a figure with silver hair and red eyes flew toward him, six pairs of black crow-like wings on their back.
