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...

Kieran's expression, though as much as he tried to hide it, began showing signs of weakness. With the amount of energy he exhausted going against Wendell, plus the additional burden he accepted by battling Daedric, his energy reserves were essentially empty.

Taking a step back, Kieran tugged on his suit jacket, tidying up his somewhat disheveled appearance, including some strands of hair that had fallen below his brow, almost obstructing essential parts of his vision.

He grimaced, looking toward Dr. Riley and the others while opening and closing his hand. By this time, it had gone numb. Even with his lack of expertise, Kieran was sure this hand had suffered extensive damage to the muscle, bone, and tendons.

Daedric's body had proved to be incomparably sturdy. 

If not for Kieran's repeated attacks on the same area, breaching his opponent's defense would have taken considerably longer. Perhaps he would have been exhausted by that point.
