Evolved Ves

The days passed in a blur of battle and bloodshed.

Leo and his group returned to the forest every day, encountering new monsters, new dangers, and new challenges. But with every fight, with every clash, they grew stronger.

Ves, Mia, and Miguel were already on the brink of completing their evolution requirements, and would soon attain the Evolved Rank.

Leo had been keeping track of their progress, watching them carefully. He knew it was only a matter of time before they crossed the threshold. And that was exactly what he had been waiting for.

He didn't want to enter the Abyssal Realm alone next time. He wanted to go on with all of them and he wants them to be strong enough to fight what lay beyond the Rif.

He wants them to be strong enough to survive whatever lay waiting for them beyond the Rift.

And now, that time was close.

.....

The routine had become relentless and slightly tedious.
