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...

Branch Main Quest

The sound of a new notification drew Kieran's attention away from Dusvim. A new message meant the system found substance behind Dusvim's frightened pleas.

Fearing death explained part of why Dusvim raised these claims, not the entire matter.

〈System: Evidence of a pending quest has been found. Would you like to explore the opportunity? [ Y | N ]〉

'A quest reliant upon my decision,' Kieran thought.

While considering his options, Kieran's grasp of Crimson Ashrune loosened as his shoulders grew lax. The possible quest instigated by an Epic NPC could be a worthwhile opportunity.

"Consider yourself lucky. But, this extent of your luck depends upon your answer," Kieran said. He withdrew Crimson Ashrune and canceled Sanguinem Tempests. 

Kieran couldn't risk Sanguinem Tempests misfiring and claiming Dusvim's life before he could extract the necessary information. After all, Kieran didn't fear retaliation.
