Everything is fate

When Liam stepped out of the portal, he found himself in a forest again.

He was expecting to return to the dungeon at the location where he last stopped but surprisingly he was at the entrance of the dungeon.

"I guess I don't have to go inside this again?" He turned to leave when he noticed that there was also someone else waiting for him there.

"Fuck." Liam did a double-take, surprised by this guy again. His stalker was back.

'Now what does he want from me?' 

There was no doubt that the soul sword was an insanely powerful weapon but ever since he accepted that quest he had been haunted by these two old men.

At this rate, Liam was not sure if he would be once again visited by these guys when he completely reforged the sword.

Would it then be stolen from him forcibly? 

Perhaps he needed to not complete it and always leave it just a step shy of completion?
