Everyone was enthralled by the goblin's reckless domination!
In the meantime, Rizz found his mind sinking deeper… waning between two fleeting feelings.
One sensation was cold. Life-sapping. Blood-chilling… The threat of death looming over Rizz's every move.
The other sensation was warm. Energizing. Heart-racing… The thrill of fulfillment and the satisfaction of overachieving in the face of an insurmountable challenge.
It wasn't Rizz's first time experiencing either of those feelings. But it was certainly the first time that both sensations were abruptly thrust upon his heart in tandem. In a situation that Rizz hadn't foreseen, prepared, or willingly triggered.
If anything, Rizz was now certain of one thing.
Facing the greatest threat to his life thus far made the satisfaction of achievement taste all the sweeter. And that sweet fulfillment was enough to keep Rizz's eyes on the prize.
