_Transcendent

A recurring dream from a fateful night haunts Varian. 

With a past he couldn't forgive himself for and a future he abandoned, his life in the present is in tatters.

But when you're alive, there's hope. 

The hope comes one day in an unexpected form. 

The painful past, the meaningless dream and the unexpected way forward force him to make a choice.

Stay broken and remain in the sorrow of the past he couldn't change. 

Or. 

Pick himself back together and try for one last time, to find the truth about his own dream and its connection to his unforgivable past, all in the hopes of forgiveness of himself, by himself.

Varian wiped the blood running down his nose.

In front of him was a sphere formed of countless black and white threads. Inside were the treasures of Rudolph.

The signals from Rudolph's emergency devices were blocked off.

Just because a not-so-significant Princess died here, Varian had to take a huge risk, pull probably one of the boldest scams and still nearly died.

Rudolph's death news would shake the pillars of the kingdom. Throughout this entire fiasco, the only reason Kingdom didn't send rank 8s for protection was at the request of the candidates themselves.

They wanted to change their image. That they weren't a fragile seedling to be protected, but a nascent powerhouse of sorts.

The kingdom had been happy to comply so far. But a single death would shake up not just solar system, but all the duchies nearby.

This wasn't just a matter of another peak rank 7 death but the murder of the kingdom's future ruler.
