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
"Cough, Cough! You sneaky rat!" The Old Patriarch clutched the fist-sized hole in his chest and snarled.
Due to his old age, the injury dealt him a big blow and his combat power plummeted.
Worse, if he delayed treatment, he'd grow weaker and inch toward death. It's just a single attack but it reversed the direction of the battle.
Whether it's Princess Catherine or the Twins of Starsafe, their backs went cold and their hearts throbbed in fear.
The Old Patriarch survived only because he's a rank 3. If it's someone else, even if it's Helga, a peak rank 2, she would be facing death if she faced that ambush.
Fortunately, the target was someone else. Unfortunately, the target was the strongest among the team.
But Helga wasn't in a mood to worry about the implications.
Her gaze was locked onto Varian as if she was frozen in time, her lips bled as she bit them hard and the dozens of pupils in her eyes all grew bloodshot with fuming hatred.
