[Welcome back, Dawnbringer.]
The cheerful and mechanical voice of the tower's AI greeted him the moment he appeared at The Lobby. Cedric felt a strong nostalgia despite the familiar sight around him.
'I still returned here earlier than I intended.' Cedric thought to himself.
He glanced at the familiar interior of the lobby and still felt the same ironic feeling as if he never left home with how familiar everything in here was to him. It wasn't because he spent a lot of time here but because all the items, furniture, and even some of the interior design of the lobby bear a striking resemblance to human aesthetics.
Originally, Cedric wanted to wait until he's at least 100 years old in his world before returning here. He had up until 500 years old before he was disqualified anyway, so he wanted to accompany his wives and their future children for some time before facing any challenges that remain here for him.
