Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

"It's something that dude kept speaking about, how our world is going to end soon. He kept saying how monsters will appear like an endless flood, attacking and killing everyone, leaving this world in ruins. He called it: The day that no other day will come after!"

"This…" for a second there, William couldn't help but recall the bloody and shocking scenes of his past life when this world fell.

"It seems there are lots of stories about this dude," And for a reason, William suddenly recalled the eccentric old man of the Lockheart impact, the one who loved to hear stories, Ben, "I want to hear everything about him."

"It's not that bad actually," Alfonso got the feeling that William was looking down on this place now. And he frankly should. After all, this place was always attached to weird stories and lots of feared and scary accidents.

"You want to hear stories? Then let me give you one," Ro adjusted her seat in a nervous way, "that building once got owned two hundred years ago, and the owner fell into one of the supposedly dealt with traps and got killed! Another story? Bloody one perhaps? Then hear this out… One hundred years ago, a team of dark gold masters owned this place, ending up dead in one day without having anything of their bodies left but their heads! The entire place inside was dyed red with their blood! As if someone squeezed their blood off their bodies and painted the interior of one building with it! Are you satisfied now?"

"This…" William paused, "I always heard about spirit masters killing others, but never heard of a dead man killing anyone before."

"It's a cursed place! Forget it! I won't dare to go in there, not even if you offered me all the wealth and riches in the world!" Ro's stance shifted for one hundred and eighty degrees, turning from trying to think about how to join William to how she'd go as far away from him right now.

"Take this then," she stood up, seemingly planning to run away from him as far as possible. So, he took out a Bullet, threw it right on her face so she'd be forced to receive it, "use this to contact me if you changed your mind."

She stood speechless for a moment there before taking the Bullet and stored it in her ring. "Don't count on me, don't count on anyone to join you if you are going to accept such a crazy deal."

She said these words while leaving, and William knew she meant no harm for him.

In her eyes, he got a perfect chance to get a piece of land and a building, something that would make any team seriously consider joining him. And yet if he accepted this building from Alfonso, then he'd be ruining all this with a simple and idiotic move.

But that was her thoughts, not William's. The latter was too confident in his abilities to handle anything, deal with any trap. And even if dark gold masters ended up dead at the hands of the traps in that place, he wasn't even fazed by this.

He wasn't even afraid or worried in the first place. For someone like him, one who touched the ceiling of power in the outer vast world, dealing with such traps set by a meagre dark gold master of the tiny world was something trivial.

But William was really interested in something entirely different. The words said by Ro and Alfonso made William suspect that the old owner of that building didn't go insane or something. He might have got a vision at one night, a vision that was so true for him to believe it without any doubts.

And what he saw was about the impending fall of this world, something that William would raise his voice to support and confirm.

And there was another thing that attracted his attention, the name of that dude. The fox? The name was weirdly similar to his spirit, to his deadliest enemies, in a way that left him with many doubts.

"Don't take her words seriously, please," Alfonso seemed to see a rich customer getting scared to deal with him, and that got him worried, "this building isn't that bad. Just look at its location, I dare to bet you won't find an empty area in this privileged region nowadays."

"It's fine," against what Alfonso expected, William slowly nodded, "please give me the licence of ownership of this place."

"Are you going to accept it?!!" Alfonso was this close from getting up from his seat and shouting in triumph, yet he controlled himself at the last moment so he wouldn't expose what he truly felt.

He indeed knew such a building was problematic. He didn't actually have any partners. He got this building from a bet with someone, ending up having such a nightmarish place for himself.

He was totally scared about getting inside or even living there. And all his attempts before to get rid of this cursed place ended with a big failure. No one ever wanted to own such a place, and so he ended up with a perfect land without any way to get any benefit out of it.

He even tried once to demolish it, to end up having few hired workers killed, many got insane, and the rest dropped working there. Since then, no one ever accepted such a job again.

He paid lots of money to control such news, so no one would ever hear about this. He did exactly like many previous owners did, trying to save as much as possible of this place's shattered reputation, hoping that a fool would one day appear and purchase this.

So, when William asked for a piece of land and a building for his team, Alfonso couldn't help but think about this cursed place. He took this time to contact the higher ups in the fort, to prepare everything for this deal, leaving only William's signature missing on the papers and then he'd wake up from such a nightmare.
