Kaizen was visibly uncomfortable with the idea of gods interfering in the story of Rise Online. To him, this idea was absurd, even though he had already faced dragons, frost giants and even died and been reborn once.
He remembered the countless times he had traveled around this vast world, helping people and fighting terrible creatures. If gods exist, why had he never met one?
The gods, if they existed, seemed to be oblivious to the suffering and struggles of the inhabitants of Midgard, so if they did, why would they help?
The thought took him back to Nilfheim, a dark and icy world, the first world he explored after Midgard.
