Chapter 24 – The Silence Before a New Hunt
A gentle wind brushed my hair as Simurgh's massive talons lowered me back to the ground. After a silent journey out of the inheritance chamber, I now landed in an unfamiliar forest. Towering trees loomed overhead, their thick foliage blocking the sunlight, casting shadows that made the ground beneath my feet look dark and damp.
I let out a heavy sigh. Not from exhaustion... not because my body was drained—I'm a zombie, I don't know what physical fatigue even is. But... mentally, I was spent. Too much had happened. Too much information and too many decisions in such a short time.
"I need... rest," I murmured before slumping against an old tree.
But before I could truly relax, curiosity pushed me to open my status—I hadn't checked it since the end of yesterday's slaughter.
