Chapter 94: The Noble One’s Penalty

Smool the Kin Destroyer's POV:

With a small smile as I felt my soul parting piece by piece, I nodded as I pushed my hardest to keep a serene expression. "Remember, I'm still out there, in some other realm or place. Sooner or later, we'll find each other again."

I could see Nord's expression full of grief and guilt, the faces of Cleare, Izzy, Evie, Rivera, Alaric, Maya, and Bash were the last thing I remembered before everything became dark.

And then…

I was asleep.

Away from the system.

Constantly shifting forms as I hovered in the dark-blue space.

"Am I man?"

"Am I woman?"

"Am I an animal?"

"Am I an insect?"

"What am I?"

"…"

My thoughts, or rather dreams that flashed in my sleeping consciousness resounded out loud.

"A player."

A voice.

A soft and kind voice.

"You, Smool, are a player of the System."

Ah… yes. I remember now. I am a player.

A game player.
