The sky was painted gray forever. The light of the sun was restrained. The darkness of the night was deeper than ever. At such a time, he belonged to a class people didn't even recognize as 'human'. He was at the bottom of the social stratum, a slave. And when his only family was taken away from him... he no longer had a purpose in life. Yet, he clung to life because of his promise. And he set an impossible goal for himself, just so he'd have an excuse to live. When he finally reached a place he never expected to be, in pursuit of a purpose he expected to fail and die miserably trying to fulfill... he awoke to a night that would change his entire life.

She didn't wait for Kael to react to her question.

"You have so many eon in your body that at first, I thought you were a follower. But you're a bearer. If you think you're weak... don't. If you stay alive, you'll probably be stronger than me when you reach my level."
