Chapter 27: Bonus Chapter

Captain Rowin groggily stepped out of the taxi, his feet sinking slightly into the white layered road beneath him. The city buzzed with life, a stark contrast to the dark cloud of dread that hovered over him. He was exhausted, the weight of the recent battle still pressing heavily on his shoulders, but there was something else, something far more insidious gnawing at his insides. His breath hitched as he glanced around the busy street, his gaze locking on the large house just ahead.

The house was an architectural marvel, standing tall amidst the ordinary buildings surrounding it. Its walls gleamed like glass but were opaque, a mystery even to the curious eyes that often passed by. Rowin approached with quick strides, his heart pounding against his ribs as if trying to escape the cage of his chest. He pulled out his phone, and as he did, it immediately displayed a notification.

"Welcome back, Master Rowin."
