Alright Royce, step forward.

"Is… this how it feels to be a Saint…?" 

Royce questioned as he stared at his hands with a strange look on his face. 

All of this felt… too unreal. 

A few minutes ago, he was worried about his wife, his future, and how he would continue from here, and now… 

Here he was, with his wife perfectly alright, and him becoming one of the strongest beings in the world…

Was everything… this easy? 

Of course, Royce knew the answer to this question already. 

Nothing was easy. 

He only got lucky because of his father and mother; others would kill to be in his position. 

He had seen it with his own eyes, he had seen how people have lost their loved ones in this 'Mana apocalypse', the lucky ones perished together with their loved ones, while the unlucky ones, they were cursed to live alone, uncertain of whether things would return to normal or would they also perish before something could happen.
