Note: For talking purposes:

Y/N-bo is the nickname that Ryuzu clones call him by.

When something is italic, it's the thought of people.

When Y/N and Echidna are speaking, their lines are italic since it's a mental convo.

However, if Y/N thinks something while telling it to Echinda during their convo, it'll be italic and underlined.

Just thought I'd clarify that. Happy reading!


I woke up in the Graveyard, where the damp floor greeted me as I helped myself up, and felt two heavy things on my back, tied to it as if they were magically attached limbs. I touched them, and felt a weird sword sheath.

"What are those things?" I said as I unsheathed the swords, and I realized what they were. "No way... you guys are exactly how I imagine you guys to look like..."

In my right hand, I held a thin sword that emitted a power that could almost consume light itself. In my left hand, a bright sword that emitted spirit energy beamed as their master noticed them for the first time.

"The Shadow Sword...and the Spirit Sword." I said in shock. Those two were no joke, they're the real deal. Two swords from the Ten Swords of Power, on equal rarity with Reinhard's Dragon Sword Reid, and Cecilus Segmunt's Fiend Sword Murasame and Dream Sword Masayume.

"Yup! Those two were weapons of my former contractors, so I assumed ownership of those swords after they died, making them my property. Master showed an aptitude for using those, so the swords chose you as their next wielder!" Bayanga popped out from next to me as a sleepy Cahya floated after her as she yawned.

"Ya, unlike me, who was faithful, Bayanga was hasty for a new master so she went off contracting people before her powers ran out... pff, a punishment befitting the disloyal..." Cahya smirked as Bayanga stomped her feet in the air in frustration.

"Hey! Who're you calling disloyal?" Bayanga yelled in anger as she floated over to Cahya to punch her, and the two spirits, just like yin and yang, began fighting again.

"Sigh... they still don't learn..." Alchemis said as he appeared next to me, and I yelped in surprise. Instead of the usual blue orb, Alchemis was a tiny devil who wore a mad scientist outfit that's the same colour as his blue flames.

"You obtained a corporeal form? How?" I asked.

"You don't sound so happy." Alchemis stayed, and I waved my hands in obvious denial. "Well, I don't really know either. But maybe it's because I finally came out of the Witch Factor of Deceit, and it just eventually manisfested."

I was going to ask another question, but a pink haired elf suddenly appeared at the entrance of the graveyard, staring at me with a straight expression as I looked tilted my head in confusion.

Before I could say anything, another two dozen of the same girl popped up, and I realized who they were. "Ryuzu Meyer's clones. Why are you guys gathered here?"

"Because there's a new Apostle of Greed, of course." The one that spoke stepped forward, and I recognized her as Ryuzu Bilma, one of the original four clones tasked with overseeing the Sanctuary. "We came here to greet you, Echidna's chosen, Y/N-bo."

"Ey? What do you mean, I'm the new Apostle of Greed?" I asked in surprise. I knew what it was, since Subaru has also filled that position for a short while as well. However, the clones never acted this way towards him, neither did they towards Garfiel, another temporary Apostle of Greed. It was said that the Apostle can control the Ryuzu clones, so why am I one?
