Not praying for ten strings

The Night Has Come, and kermesinus moon ascends in the sky.
Hoarse whispers flow at the street corners, and brass steam machines spew out bloody mist.
Your brain is singing a hymn, eyes are chanting a melody.
Skin cracks, and flesh buds swell.
Amidst the Mist, the wall of flesh that has devoured thousands of corpses wails endlessly—
"Weep not, our players don't bite, they just want to play with you."
Annan, the lone strategist, the top player, the savior of the mist-covered continent, the leader of the Thirteen Saints, the friend of the Twelve True Gods, the king of pioneers, "the Just", the Gatekeeper of the Fourth Calamity, the uncrowned deity, advised kindly.

Annan glimpsed into the depths of Demon Dragon Nicholas's heart and saw memories that weren't exactly the same as what had truly unfolded.


Nicholas had believed, until his death, that he was the one who had killed his foster father Isaac—and had proceeded forward without ever looking back, burdened with the resolve that there was "no turning back."


Compared to his biological father, who after bringing him into this world did nothing more for him beyond finding him a foster father, Isaac was undoubtedly closer to his real father and at the same time his mother.


But it was only after the "dead" Isaac explained the matter himself did Annan understand there was another side to this history.


Nicholas had indeed plotted to kill Isaac.


Even being betrayed by his own foster son, he did not react with anger, despair, or filled with resentment. Instead, he remained rational, seeking to understand the reasons behind the betrayal.
