_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.

Divine Path System

The holy ritual of the kingdom was set to begin.

As suspected, this had less to do with ceremonies and more with a real obstacle that had to be cleared.

The whole process happened in a Synthetic world with high constraints. As far as the myths go, this Synthetic World was the 'home' of Palarians, where the first of their kind emerged.

To draw parallel, they're like the indigenous members of Hortus who broke out of their isolated world and stepped onto the world stage.

"Any rank 9 could do it with ease. In fact, they were the ones for this job. But that synthetic world has become too fragile. One time, it came close to destruction. From then, they avoided even rank 8s and went to using only rank 7s."

Sonya explained in a nervous voice, her eyes trailing to a veiled woman sitting next to her.

'Miss Calamity…it's really her!'
