Chapter 310 - Proving your worth

"What?" Aiden froze on the spot, looking at the floating figure of the lordly spirit with a stunned expression. "What do you mean? I-I d-don't understand… H-how? W-who-" 

It took him a bit but it finally dawned on him. A single, loud thump could be heard echoing in the small room, as the realization hit Aiden for the nth time in short succession.

The obvious truth was right in front of his eyes. The only person that was with him ever since he could remember. His lips quivered as his mind tried to overcome yet another burden and process the weight behind such a piece of information.

However, the information seemed to be contradicting his first conversations, his very first discussion with his guide. She was an aide assigned to him together with the system that pushed him towards a predetermined direction, whilst ensuring he would have ample opportunities to gain the required power to achieve all he was meant to.
