Classless Reincarnation

"Just die already, you asshole!"

Jack's new "step-sister" was about to commit fratricide!

Under her control, her fiery aura quickly condensed into… a Dragon made of flames?! The creature coiled around her, turning toward Jack and Fox.

Suddenly its belly started glowing as if containing a burning sun…Oh god! Dragon's breath?! Could they even dodge this thing?! Hell no! It'd cover the entire battlefield!

"All of you, fight fire with fire!" Jack ordered.

He pointed toward the center of the summon, the foxes freaking out.

Were they supposed to fight a dragon?! There was no way they could do this?!

"Stop hesitating, already! So what if it's a little bit scary? Look around! Do you see all those shrines? This is your home turf! Will you let some overgrown lizard do as it pleases?!"

Jack riled them up so much that they forgot that they were utterly outclassed for a second. He was so goddamn right. They'd show it not to mess with them!

— Crackle! Crackle! —

Countless fireballs rose from the foxes.

Some of the stronger ones' fur even turned to flames!

They all looked like ethereal creatures, illuminating the night.

"NOW!" Along with Jack's signal, they all shot toward their nemesis. The girl barely had time to gasp that a sea of fireballs was arriving upon her.

But would that even be enough?…

"Hehe, that's it? I am destruction itself!"

She roared… and Hell descended upon them!

The dragon aspect devoured it all: their spells, their hopes, their control over their bladders… it was a higher existence, one they couldn't do anything about.

Along with it, Jack saw death…. GAME OVER!

There was no way to avoid this.

Yet, that end didn't suit him…

Instead of despair, his face showed a calculative… and very petty smile. 'Taking me down? Perhaps, but I'm not dying alone!'

This crazy step-sister…

The irresponsible Flame Lord…

Even that Goddamn Fire Fox God…

All of them: it was all their bloody fault!

At that moment, his heart bled. Not for himself but for the pain his death would cause his father.

Actually, dying was no big deal… but dying without accomplishing anything once again?! Unacceptable! He turned toward his minions.

"It has been an honor fighting by your side. You all are the most valiant foxes I've ever known, and I can't thank you enough. I just have one last request…."

— Whimpers! Whimpers! —

They all shook their heads, refusing!

But then, Jack insisted, even laughing coldly.

This was his decision, one that was utterly final!

Before the Flame Dragon could reach them, a fox grabbed its master in its mouth for the last time and then… yeeted him toward the flame barrier!

Would that save him? Definitely not. Would it buy him some time? Probably not, either. Was he simply that desperate? Neither!

He gave a cold calculative smile to his "step-sister": 'wanna kill me? Sure, but you'll have to destroy the protective barrier around this place to do it!

His opponent simply scoffed:

"If the foxes think this will save you, they're even more foolish than I thought! The barrier isn't THAT valuable. I'll just destroy it all! DISAPPEAR!!!"

At that moment, Jack felt utterly at peace.

At the very least, he'd have his revenge.

He had given critical orders to his foxes:

1) Trash the insides of the Flame Mansion

2) Reveal the Flame Mansion's "link to the Demonic Legion".

3) Tell his father to get the Hell out before the shitshow began

The foxes had played the role of the villains once; they could perfectly do it again! As for how much trouble it would cause the Flame Palace… it'd be hard to weather without a barrier!

Let's see how they reacted once the entire Dawn City turned against them!

As a Fire Dragon engulfed Jack, he cackled, raising his middle finger.

This would teach them to mess with a delivery guy!

His entire vision turned red, the heat unbearable.

[You've Intruded Upon the Flame Barrier!]

[Launching Spontaneous Combustio—!]

[Flame Mansion Bloodline Detected!]

[Error! Error! Friendly Fire?!]

Just as the Dragon was devouring him, the barrier finally activated. The poor thing tried its best to fight against the incoming assault, but it didn't know what to do.

The Bloodline of its master was the one trying to destroy it?! Was it supposed to fight back against its creator's progeniture or just take it? Then what about the baby?!

But the more the barrier's protocol hesitated and the more the Flame Dragon pressed forward, all until it finally was too much and….

— KASHA! SHATTER! —

With an earth-shattering sound, the Flame Mansion Barrier crumbled entirely. At that moment, everyone from Dawn City found themselves staring into the distance, shell-shocked.

The Flame Mansion was under attack?! Who the Hell had a death wish?! It was either that or the entire Dawn City was in danger!

But that didn't concern Jack. He peacefully closed his eyes, as if sun-tanning, and then he… didn't die?! W-what? Why wasn't he dead yet?

He opened his eyes just in time to see the Flame Lord spanking the Hell out of her daughter.

"You unruly kid, what the Hell have you done this time?! Not only did you skip school, but you're even here picking on your new brother. So dumb!" She was understandably pissed.

Jack kept watch, shocked as the great "evil step-sister" was reduced to a red-buttocked, tear-stained mess in front of him. That easy?! Somehow, the crisis had been averted?

The Flame Lord finally glanced his way…

"You did well not to cry. Don't worry, Jack; nothing's going to happen to you. You can count on your new mom!" She even gave a thumbs-up….

How the Hell could she consider all this as: "picking on"?! But seeing her smile, he suddenly felt like this was actually common sense for her. WTF?!

Then again… ever since his arrival, people had been way too casual about fighting! Did they all have water for brains?! Brain or not, the Flame Lord picked him up.

"Now, Jack, let's go back home and see daddy, shall we?"

That was it?! Was the situation resolved just like that? But just as he felt at a loss, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind… wait?!

If the foxes had done as he had asked… would there even be a home to go back to?! He suddenly felt chills; this was BAD!

"Aww? What is it, Jack? You seem uncomfortable. Did you poop yourself?" The Flame Lord "considerately" asked….

How was he even supposed to explain this all?! Should he play dead or something?

As they entered the Flame Mansion, the scene awaiting them was utter madness...
