    “WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO!? WHAT DO I LIVE FOR!?”

    He couldn’t care less about vengeance anymore. However, at that moment he had a job to do, and it just so happened that an evil god was involved.


    He got up from his spot and walked towards an extravagant castle looming over the statue of his target.
