Aftermath [2]

A thousand years of suffering.

That was Damien's punishment.

He had to spend a timespan that was almost ten times as long as the life he'd lived in a state of torture.

He was locked away in a natural realm made specifically for his punishment. The time in that place was nonexistent, so there was no way for him to measure how long he'd been inside once he was there.

He just had to sit there and suffer.

Physical punishment, mental punishment, torture of the soul…

Damien had a thousand years to experience it all.

But nobody would ever know.

He would return to reality not long after he left, and nobody would ever understand the kind of pain he went through.

Still, a thousand years was quite a long time, and with it, Damien was able to somewhat improve on the things he had.
