章 174: Return Home

— Midnight - Daniel's Secret Base —

Within the expansive, city-like confines of Daniel's underground base, in the medical center sector, lies the most advanced and lucrative facility. Here, Daniel sits in a private patient room, his eyes fixed upon the stasis pod containing his wife, Koyuki. He gazes at her longingly, having remained in this state for hours since his return from Russia.

The moment his feet touched the ground of the hangar, he rushed here to see his wife sleeping soundly in the stasis pod. At present, she is neither dead nor alive. Her soul remains trapped in a limbo between the realms of the living and the dead.

As an Archmage, Daniel's knowledge of magic, rituals, and mysticism surpasses that of modern practitioners, holding power and mystery within its vastness. Yet, despite this immense wisdom, he remains powerless to help his beloved wife.
