Chapter 991: Chapter 991: True Death

....

Karyk came to his senses and found himself in a dark place. There were books lying all around him on the floor, some books being completely torn. 

He was back in the library where he found the book that revealed a portion of the Thief's past while also triggering his own memories in the process. 

He still couldn't believe that what he saw was real. He didn't even know what he could call himself. Was he a human? Was he the Abyss? Or was he something else entirely?

"You are back."

A young man was sitting not far from him. He closed the book that he was reading and placed the book aside. 

He stood up and patted his clothes. "You made me wait quite a lot. The others went to hunt and even returned after a successful hunt, but you took so long to return."

"Hunt?" Karyk raised his head and looked at the man who had warned him against opening the book.
