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
The old man never thought his act would be seen through. Worse, he never imagined one day he'd be punched in the face by a junior as weak as a bug.
But as Varian's fist broke Merov's jaw and blasted his teeth off into the space like fucking rockets, he had no choice but to accept he fucked up.
A light green light eminated out of Merov and pushed him away from Varian, created enough distance between them to give him a breather.
'I had my doubts before, but I'm sure of it now. This boy's soul is young…too young, not even a century old! And he got the strength that rivals Merov?'
His pupils shook as he watched Varian with newfound emotions.
Awe and fear.
But they quickly turned into something more.
Greed.
'Not Merov, this boy is my chance! And not just any chance, my chance to reach the peak of existence!'
The shift in his emotions wasn't very subtle. Varian guessed what the old bastard was thinking without even trying to.
