Most Amount Of Pain

Before talking, Gary was trying to sense if Unzoku was still nearby. He closed his eyes and reached out, feeling for any traces of energy, any lingering aura that might indicate where the being had gone.

He even opened up the system interface, hoping for any clue. Maybe it would still be glitching like before, maybe he could catch some hint that Unzoku was around. But no, there was nothing. The system looked completely stable again.

The trail he had followed earlier, the strange guidance that had led him directly to Unzoku… it had vanished as well.

‘Come on… not even a quest reward for surviving that?’ Gary thought with a sigh, trying to inject a bit of humor into his own exhausted mind. ‘Well, I guess I haven’t gotten a quest reward in a while. So I kind of understand. Not since I leveled up… but that came with a cost. It took one of my transformations away.’

He was still wrapping his head around what had just happened. But for now, there were others who needed answers too.
