'Hmm, wait a second… Isn't that the Architect the creepy statue? Don't tell me he's the spy commander. So he's among the ones that didn't go to slumber, huh.' Ashborn thought to himself.

The Architect got on his knees with the same creepy smile on his face and said "This lowly servant greets his monarch" and continued "kekeke, I have been informed from the grand Marshall that the monarch needed me."

"Indeed, from what I understand, you are the one that has been appointed as the spy commander." Ashborn said, and then added, "Jebril must have a great trust in your abilities."

"I live to please" the architect replied.

And then Ashborn smirked and said "Indeed you do indeed, but before getting into what I needed, I believe that you as a spies' commander should have shapeshifting abilities" and added, "How about changing your form to something less ... disturbing."

"I didn't think my lord would find my form disturbing, I shall do as you wish my lord" and with that said, smoke began surrounding the moving statue and from it, a new creature emerged. A well-dressed demon in a red suit, wearing black gloves and glasses. He has well-combed hair and a long tail with spikes sticking out at the end. Underneath his glasses are a pair of eyes that appear to be made of jewels." I believe this is better, my lord?"

All the reaction that he got from his liege is a raised eyebrow "Hmm good enough, and your name will be Demiurge from now on, now tell me about your spy network and what kind of resources that you have your hands on."

And with that, the now-named demiurge replied "Of course, we have right at this moment 700 shadow assassins scattered around the universe, and they've been giving me a report every 5 years. And as for resources we have almost everything from rare weapons to metal ores like vibranium and carbonadium, uru and various others…" and then Ashborn cut him off and asked "and what about spaceships?" and then demiurge replied somehow excited "We indeed have. Is the shadow monarch planning to leave his domain? And if he is, then this servant shall prepare the best ship in his fleet."

"I am indeed planning to do that, so prepare a ship worthy of the Shadow monarch, and I want you to gather updated information about two specific planets." Ashborn calmly answered and commanded

"As you command, and what are the names of the planets?" with a creepy smile the subordinate replied

And then the Shadow monarch rose from his throne and said with a strong commanding voice "...Svartalfheim and Earth, and Earth more specifically. You're dismissed." And then he disappeared to his shadow.

"Your wish is my command, kekeke" and with that, the demon is gone to carry out his new orders.

Ashborn appeared in a different location but on the same planet, and then called "...Kaisel" and then it appears, a large wyvern with black scales, sharp teeth, a glowing purple neck and underbelly, glowing purple wings, glowing purple horns, and a long black tail.

"How is my favorite wyvern?" he said and then began patting 'his' head and jumped to 'his' back and said "Just fly" and fly he did.

While flying on his favorite wyvern and looking to the distance, Ashborn thought to himself 'A new planet, a new world, and a new life huh.' In my previous life, I wasn't anything special, just a 'bit' lawless teenager with a single douchebag father that I hated and loved at the same time. My mother left us when I was a kid, and we were pretty well off as my father was an architect.

'I don't know who set me up for this, I just know that I will try to live an interesting life not without regrets cuz there will always be regrets.' and while Ashborn is thinking of something deep a voice sounded in his head "Lord? It's Jibril" and then he added, "Am I bothering you, lord?" Ashborn then replied "No ... what is it?"

Jibril "The ship is ready, lord."

"I am on my way" Ashborn replied, and then he ordered his 'ride' "Head south." and then south they headed.
