Regret and The Second Migration

Life continued on for a few... no, a lot of days like this. Before Paundo knew it, it was already the fourth quarter. During that time, he was a good boy and did most of his homework on time.

Almost tranquil, even. Then, he saw people living a life, while others were killed either by accident or by murder. He decided to enter a life...
