บท 184: The Many Sacrifices of Will, Part 2

Note: Edited the previous chapter 15/09/23. HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU REREAD THE PREVIOUS CHAPTER FIRST if you read it before the edited date because I CHANGED THE LAST HALF of the chapter. XD It's so much better now.

Once it had secured its final hostage, Fenrisúlfr placed Gleipnir's chain next to my hand. Of course, I didn't touch it. The trinket hanging from my neck was a good reminder of what happened to one who hadn't properly prepared to wield a powerful magical item. I didn't need to attune to Gleipnir though. I just needed Circe to give me authority over the myth-rated artifact.

Then a notification ping arrived, and I glanced down at the status bar clipped to my belt to read the new pop-up flashing on its blue screen.
