Six Years
The very thought of leaving his current situation and move to Divine realms is something that intrigued Sam to no end.
But with the way things operate here, all he can do is just suck it up and move along with the rest of the situation. As he was thinking and grinding his teeth against the rules of the competition, Demon Soul Swordsman finally made his appearance.
"It hasn't been that long since you left this place. Why are you here already after defeating a really tough opponent? You should have stayed there at home and relaxed a bit."
"I was planning to do that. But I don't have a choice. I need to start working right away. I am here for that reason only."
"What do you want?"
"Is there any event that is going to happen in the next six years? It should be big and important enough to even impact the Grey circle. Do you know anything about it?"
