(A/N: Bonus Chapter).
Skullius found himself before a blue flame that was very much 'alive' in the most simple sense.
Serenity.
His first benefactor.
Behind her, as Skullius remembered, was a ginormous sphere with alternating shades of blue over it, its entire mass blurred out of Skullius' focus.
It was definitely a world that he still wasn't allowed to see.
"I have been waiting for quite a while for our second meeting. You've finally evolved into the Second Tier," Serenity said with what Skullius assumed was a cheerful tone.
"Well... it's taken quite a while to blend and fit into the human world. I barely had time to level up my Penetrator form until now," Skullius said. "It's not easy when I have to fight bad luck."
"I know. But you have persevered. As you and I desire, you are growing stronger regardless," Serenity said.
Growing stronger, huh?
That seemed to be the only thing Serenity was interested in about him.
Just as she had emphasised during their last meeting.
