"We've faced countless challenges on our journey. We're ready." The Starborn leader nodded solemnly. "Then choose your path, and may the stars guide you." As they faced the trials ahead, the weight of their mission pressed heavily on their shoulders. Yet, with the universe as a witness, they were determined to prevail.

Are you the king of our world? "No," Matter smiled. - I'm from another world. Your Guide has already exhausted its twenty-four transitions. He is very strong, which is why the First Ones could not break him. “Then why did she ask for your blood?” So you're still a conductor? “You could say that…” Matzher said reluctantly. – Sometimes, very rarely, almost never, the Guide, who has made the twenty-fifth Transition, does not complete his Path and does not lose his accumulated strength, but moves on. Such units, they are called Wanderers, their strength continues to grow with each Transition….

This didn’t win me any more friends than sports did though, well, except for June. Juniper Maki was my dorm-mate in my second semester, and she was the first person to ever understand me. She saw men how I did, as conquests, challenges to be surmounted by “real women”. She kept a comically large dildo on her desk, and would cut notches in it after each victory. She was working her way up for what she called “the ultimate challenge”. It was called “The Queen of Spades Gauntlet” a no-breaks marathon of pleasure through some house in Atlanta. Apparently a friend of hers organized it a few years back and no one had completed it since. That was all I needed to hear, I knew I would beat it.

The monk stepped into her path. “You mustn’t.” She looked at him politely.

And as they walked side by side, the moonlit path ahead illuminated their way, a symbol of the enduring power of their love and the limitless potential that awaited them.

Zia said. They walk for almost ten minutes, when they reached a pub they turn to the left and stop in front of the building with the sign 'KAPISANAN'[1]. "Here it is, the Adventurers Guild," Zia said while scanning the people walking to and fro inside the building. When they entered inside the guild, murmuring startup. "Look, the Blight twins are here," the old man said with a massive build and a scar in his forehead. "Heh," grunt of the other guy with a Mohawk hairstyle.

Noah dashed through the forest with anticipation in his eyes. His speed was neither too fast nor too slow. He didn't appear in a rush at all. This was because of a simple reason. On his way, it had been way too easy to acquire the map leading to the Ruins and had noticed the presence of multiple people passing by him with frenzied speed. Their role in this Ruin exploration was obvious yet they didn't know it themselves. They were responsible for clearing the path to the Ruins and it was guaranteed that most of them would lose their lives doing it.

"Everything you need for the journey. There's also a silver dagger in case the protection spell fails." I took the satchel, its weight settling across my shoulder like a yoke. "Your father is counting on you," Julius said softly, his hand coming up to grip my shoulder. "Don't disappoint him. Don't disappoint me." Then he was gone, leaving me alone with the map, the supplies, and the crushing weight of what I was being asked to do. I studied the map more carefully.
