Cold wind blew over the frozen landscape. Tall glaciers reach from the grounds, covering the land with spikes—a sign of danger by its appearance alone. Not a single life lay in the ice, as those who dwell in the frozen continent were nothing but foolish, awaiting a freezing death, or they were truly the strongest in the world. The latter of which applied to the man sitting inside the Frost Palace.

Like a king awaiting for its challenger, he sat in his icy throne with a menacing look. Cold and aloof like the land he ruled over. Such a nature was expected from the strongest in this world. Only boredom lies in wait at the peak of existence.

Though this time, something interesting had occurred in his life.

"To think you were able to sneak your way in without me noticing you, that much has certainly piqued my interest."

Guy Crimson, the strongest creature and progenitor of the reds, looked in the midst of his throne room to see a figure standing. At the mention of an intruder, all of his attendants, including both Mizeri and Rein, the two maids beside him, looked at the sudden presence with wide eyes.

The figure was a woman who elegantly stood at the center of death. Nearly all of Guy's crimson were alerted, but they couldn't fight for him as to do so was cursing themselves of execution.

She was a beauty that rivaled the likes of Venus; her stoic face made her an unattainable flower. The cold whirring winds gently brushed her long platinum-blue hair, and her ruby eyes stared at the Red Demon Lord with indifference.

"So, who are you?" Guy stood up and approached the figure, "It's intriguing knowing that someone so formidable had escaped my sight."

"It is because I am not of this world," The mysterious woman replied, "I am merely a messenger."

"A messenger, you say?" Guy smiled at her words, "And what message are you sending to me?"

"An opportunity to watch the future."

"Ho?" Guy raised an eyebrow. "And what makes you think I would want that?"

"Hmph," The woman snorted uncharacteristically, "Wouldn't you want to see a future where all your problems would be given to someone else?"

At her words, Guy's eyes widened, "That's pretty interesting, and tell me something. Would that someone be your master?"

He grinned at the prospect of having his work dumped on another. Behind him, Rein nearly jumped out of joy, but was stopped by her own subordinates. Thankfully, neither of them was noticed as Guy was focused on his conversation.

"Yes."

"Hm... Now that I've thought about it, I assume that I'm not the only one watching?"

"Yes, you are speaking with one of my Parallel Existences."

"I see."

"Now this is a conversation I'm willing to be present."

Suddenly, a voice spoke, and from behind Guy Crimson, a portal conjured itself out of thin air. A wondrous beauty with white hair stepped out of it. A misty aura emanated from her, so it seemed like she was the owner of such a cold wasteland.

"Velzard, you hearing this?" Guy turned towards the beauty, "A chance to see the future."

"Yes, I wonder what the future holds for my beloved brother," She said as she stood beside Guy. "My dear brother is still stuck in that cave, I suppose."

Her eyes glowed yellow as she stared off at a distance, looking for the diminishing presence of her wild brother.

"Then you would be glad that your brother is a key figure in this future," The woman said.
