Serene Choices!

(A/N: Bonus Chapter).

Skullius found himself before a blue flame that was very much 'alive' in the most simple sense. 

Serenity.

His first benefactor.

Behind her, as Skullius remembered, was a ginormous sphere with alternating shades of blue over it, its entire mass blurred out of Skullius' focus.

It was definitely a world that he still wasn't allowed to see.

"I have been waiting for quite a while for our second meeting. You've finally evolved into the Second Tier," Serenity said with what Skullius assumed was a cheerful tone.

"Well... it's taken quite a while to blend and fit into the human world. I barely had time to level up my Penetrator form until now," Skullius said. "It's not easy when I have to fight bad luck."

"I know. But you have persevered. As you and I desire, you are growing stronger regardless," Serenity said.

Growing stronger, huh?

That seemed to be the only thing Serenity was interested in about him.
