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...

Deranged Abominations

Kieran had not thought about the cause for the sudden severance with rational reasoning, nor did he consider the other angles of what could have happened.

Their footing was narrow, barely enough to gain purchase for an unhindered attack or to mount an unassailable defense, but Cardinal Weiss exhibited his exceptional poise in combat and his familiarity with the nuances of disadvantageous fighting.

"Put your back to mine now and remain vigilant, Condemned Fiend."
