All Good Things End

Ryu chuckled. The couple had already put their clothes back on, but this girl was still clinging to him. It was as though even a breath of space was too much. Even so, the bright smile on his face made him happy. This was a sort of feeling that he would never get tired of. 

He could remember exactly when the last time he had felt so good was. He was still six years old, a few days from his seventh birthday. That day he felt like the world was in the palm of his small hands, as though nothing would be able to stop his steps. 

Back then, he already had aspirations of reaching the peak of the world, he couldn't wait for his awakening so that he could finally start cultivation. He had already had his eyes on various records, wanting to break them all. He thought he could reach the Sky God Realm in one bound, he had never taken the ages of those so-called "geniuses" seriously.
