Zenith Online: Rebirth of the Strongest Player

Death is sometimes not the end, and the zenith is empty. Legends rise and fall. Myths are born. Faced with death after a dismal fall from grace where glory, renown, and prominence were once found, Kieran's second chance is fueled by vengeance. It burns like a ruinous flame and drives Kieran's quest for power within and without. Though not an ingrate, he remains curious about why he returned to the past instead of dying. He has nothing but questions, but his death puts the beginning of his story into perspective, showing him that Zenith Online... is the beginning of the end — the end of the current Age. The zenith is empty and calls for someone to claim its throne, but to answer that call means to bear the consequences. Everything — especially choice — has a cost. Challenges lay in wait. The road to supremacy is wound in suffering, and to know the truth is to know madness. And so, the Maddened awakens...

Anchored Bridge

Dazed by Cardinal Weiss' words, Kieran stared in disbelieving silence.

'Long enough?'

Kieran blinked away the remaining fog over his mind and craned his neck to see the jagged peaks above.

'What does he mean long enough? That's usually what you say when you have waited a long time. Or maybe Weiss is just impatient.'

Kieran wanted to believe that thought, but a glimpse of his surroundings told him differently. The Lifeless Pass seemed dimmer, darker… like a strange dusk had settled upon the expanse of death.

The noxious miasma also seemed deeper in color. Kieran was experiencing what he could only assume to be night in the Land of Ruin. Or the arrival of night. 

'So… not a couple of minutes. Hours then?'

Kieran's eyes swam to find proof to support his logic, but he was met with Cardinal Weiss' sympathetic gaze and consoling pats.
