The next day dragged itself forward like it was tired of existing, and honestly, I understood the feeling. I woke up with my head still buzzing from the spirit body revelation. Having two versions of myself wasn’t exactly something you sleep off like a normal stomachache. It wasn’t even something you tell people. Imagine trying to explain that to someone...

“Hey, what did you do last night?”

“Oh, nothing special. Just separated my spirit from my soul and had a conversation with myself. You?”

Yeah. No.

But I pushed all of that aside, because today, I had to give Master Rael an answer. And even though my brain tried to convince me I had options, I knew I didn’t. Not really. The truth was simple... I had nothing to lose.

Actually... scratch that, I had plenty to lose, but it all felt so far away compared to what I could gain. Strength. Progress. A chance to climb out of this cycle of being hunted, broken, betrayed, thrown around by the universe like a toy nobody wanted.

So after thinking

  • Chapter 294. The Morning Nearly Dying.

    Kirin woke up with no warning, he didn't dream and he more or less had no memory.Just a sharp inhale, like someone had dragged him up from the bottom of the ocean.His eyes snapped open, and the first thing he saw was the sky... dark, smoky, and full of rumbling clouds that flickered with distant lightning. The second thing he saw was a small fire crackling beside him, warming the cold mountain air. The third was Rem, sitting cross legged by the flames, calmly roasting strips of meat over a stick like nothing in the world was bothering him.Kirin blinked a few times. His vision was blurry, his mind still floating somewhere between consciousness and whatever state he had been in last. Every breath felt unfamiliar. His own heartbeat didn’t even feel like it belonged to him.“…Rem?” Kirin muttered, voice rough like he had swallowed stones. “What… what happened?”Rem didn’t answer immediately. He flipped the meat, watching the juices drip into the fire. Only when the crackling sound fade

  • Chapter 293. The Two Edges of Thunder.

    The moment Kirin grasped the essence of life lightning, it responded to him like it had been waiting for him all along.It didn’t explode or roar... It didn’t clash with the divine lightning above but rather it was part of it.No—life lightning simply appeared inside him, soft but steady, like a quiet pulse beating against the endless waves of destruction pouring onto his body. His spirit didn’t even need a second command. It acted on instinct.Life lightning flowed into his burned muscles.And they healed.Not slowly or painfully but Instantly.His charred muscle fibers began stitching themselves together, tightening and thickening as if they were being woven back into existence. The shredded patches of flesh wrapped back into shape. His exposed bones were coated again with layers of tissue, skin reforming across his arms like fresh paint returning to its original surface.It was like watching a reversed version of the suffering he had just endured. Where destruction shredded, life r

  • Chapter 292. Life in the Storm.

    Kirin didn’t even get a second to prepare.The instant he stepped into the lightning stream, the lightning hit him in the chest with a force he had never imagined. It wasn’t like the wild bursts he created from his own core. It wasn’t like the chaotic, unstable lightning he summoned when he lost control. This was different. This was divine lightning, and it did not welcome him. It rejected him so violently.The first strike hit him like a spear. The second felt like a thousand needles stabbing into his nerves. The third tore the breath out of his lungs so completely he forgot what breathing felt like.Then the pain truly started.Kirin staggered, unable to keep his balance. His knees slammed into the rocky ground. His fingers twitched uncontrollably as the lightning carved into him, refusing to stop for even a heartbeat. His skin began to glow, then crackle, then melt. The burning spread faster than his mind could process it.One second he had skin.The next, it was gone.The lightnin

  • Chapter 291. The Stream That Breaks and Builds.

    I kept waiting for the sky to kill me again.Every step I took behind Rem felt like I was walking into the mouth of a storm that had already made it clear it didn’t like me. The mountain was still loud, still angry, still full of constant rumbling and sharp cracks of lightning, but none of it targeted me the way it had before. It felt like Mount Sumi was watching me with narrowed eyes, unsure if I was worth striking again.I didn’t trust the silence.Rem walked ahead like we were on a tourist hike. Hands behind his back, posture relaxed, not a hint of concern for the monstrous lightning that surrounded us. Every once in a while, a bolt would crash down just a few meters away, shaking the ground, sending dust into the air. He didn’t even blink.I hated how normal it looked for him.I kept glancing at the sky every few seconds. The clouds twisted above us, heavy and dark, like they were following us. At some point, after maybe twenty minutes of climbing, nothing had hit me yet. Not even

  • Chapter 290. The Lightning That Rejected Me.

    I thought I was ready for anything. I mean, after everything I’d lived through, everything I’d fought, everything I’d survived… what was one cursed mountain?Rem didn’t warn me. I should’ve known. He walked ahead like he was taking a casual morning stroll, hands in his pockets, not a single spark touching him. Meanwhile, the sky above the mountain was a solid sheet of roiling black clouds, the kind that looked like the heavens were grinding their teeth.The moment my foot crossed the boundary stone at the base of the mountain, the entire sky shifted.Like it noticed me.Like it knew me.And then it hit me.A bolt tore down from the clouds so fast I barely saw the flash. It slammed into me like a hammer swung by a god. My entire body snapped back, and the world became white noise. I didn’t even scream — I didn’t have time.I just collapsed face-first into the dirt, everything buzzing, mind shaking like it was being rattled by invisible hands.I gasped, chest burning. “What— what was th

  • CHAPTER 289. Mount Sumi’s Call.

    Morning didn’t arrive gently for Kirin.There was no soft breeze brushing his face, no warm sun sliding across his eyelids, no peaceful awakening where he stretched and yawned and decided to himself...“Yeah, today might just be decent.”No.Instead, he woke up because his door almost kicked itself off the hinges.“Up.” Rem’s voice cut into the room like a blade.Kirin jerked upright immediately, hair sticking everywhere, blanket halfway on the floor, spirit body still lazily drifting in the corner like it was confused about being awake too.He has been cultivating his spirit body while he was asleep.Before Kirin could even say good morning, Rem tossed something heavy at his face.Kirin barely caught it.It was a thick dark blue garb, reinforced with faint runes that shimmered like dew.“Wear it,” Rem said plainly.Kirin blinked. “Can you not throw things at my head at sunrise?”Rem ignored him. “We leave in two minutes.”“For what?” Kirin muttered, already pulling the garb over his
