Cheated

Kieran's words had doubt, but his eyes held realization. 

Everything was exactly as he'd expected.

After he killed the God of Lightning, who seemingly was the mastermind behind everything, Kieran had been working hard to chase after those sea monsters, trying to make up for his loss. Amid the furious hunting, he had recalled everything that had happened since he stepped into the dungeon, not just this time, but the previous one as well.

Kieran was a person who liked to think back, because there was a lot of motivation and inspiration in his memories to make him work harder and fight fiercer for things he felt were important.

He had been through countless hungry nights, so he understood what he must do to prevent that from happening. 

Hunger was very scary, to the point that it forced him to have good memories and he'd remember everything to his heart.
