Chapter 369: The Price of Mad Genius?

"You look like you lost a fight with your alarm clock and it got the last punch." Gabriel said to Kain while wincing at his dishevelled appearance.

Kain's appearance was nothing short of a disaster, the kind of soulcrushing exhaustion that would cause anyone to confuse Kain with an undead creature rather than a human.

Dark circles framed his eyes, so deep and shadowed they almost looked like he had dual black eyes.

His usually sharp and composed gaze was dulled, the whites of his eyes bloodshot with tiny red veins crisscrossing now yellowed parts of his eyes.

His normally sunkissed skin was pale, bordering on having a sickly green tint, with a slight sheen of sweat that hinted at the hours of work he'd been putting in lately.

His hair was an unkempt greasy mess, sticking up in random directions and his chapped lips were surrounded by a faint shadow of stubble on his jawline, as though he'd completely abandoned any form of basic grooming.
