"You weren't expecting me, were you? I've been at level 97 for ages... Conversely, you haven't even been at level 90 for a decade, Minos." Julian said with a smile, looking back at the young man he had discovered on the Divine Continent decades ago.
As he greeted Minos, he asked. "How are you? How does it feel to have all this power at your disposal?"
Minos smiled as he greeted his old acquaintance who had helped him along the way. "Well, I'd say. It doesn't feel better because I don't know if I'll still be here in 20 years." He laughed bitterly.
Julian sighed when he heard that because he felt the same way about his promotion. "If you think that, imagine how I feel... After getting so close to level 100, I feel it is getting further and further away."
