Chapter 303: Anastasia (1)
Time passed, and two months later, Christian was resting his head on Eva’s lap, holding a phone in his hand and reading a novel, completely absorbed... seemingly unbothered by anything happening in the outside world.
But did that mean his situation was that good? That he had no burdens at all?
Unfortunately, that couldn’t have been further from the truth.
A lot had happened in the past two months.
And while he had made progress on some fronts, problems were still unshakable.
Nonetheless, with him now closer than ever to reaching the second mastery stage, he carried a sharp, quiet confidence. A belief that, no matter what came his way, he would deal with it.
So, back to the present — Christian was reading.
The final Chapter of his favorite novel had just dropped. Arguably the best novel he had ever read.
This Chapter was longer than usual, and the long-awaited fight with the final boss came to a close in it.
He was excited, eyes locked on the screen as he scrolled through, eager for the ending.
But then... his smile faltered. His eyes, slightly reddened from the emotion of an earlier scene, froze on the lines ahead.
The protagonist died.
