A recurring dream from a fateful night haunts Varian. With a past he couldn't forgive himself for and a future he abandoned, his life in the present is in tatters. But when you're alive, there's hope. The hope comes one day in an unexpected form. The painful past, the meaningless dream and the unexpected way forward force him to make a choice. Stay broken and remain in the sorrow of the past he couldn't change. Or. Pick himself back together and try for one last time, to find the truth about his own dream and its connection to his unforgivable past, all in the hopes of forgiveness of himself, by himself. https://discord.gg/kBKaTtsrpb
Varian embarked on a journey back to the capital.
Even though he didn't show it on the surface, he was constantly scanning his surroundings, even using the power of slivers to keep his stealth at the maximum.
If the past few days had a taken huge a physical toll on him as he tried to break out of the prison, the past few hours had drained his mind with the life and death situation.
He's a step away from a rank 9 who could kill him with a snap.
Knowing it was one thing. But escaping death by a hair breadth was something else.
'Arghh! I want to reach rank 9 soon! Why is my growth so slow?'
[…It's a little over half year since you slayed the Abyss Emperor. You're already half way through rank 7. Even though the next two ranks are each larger than rank 1 to rank 7 put together, you've covered an incredible ground in just half year.
