Chapter 349: Eighty-Second Floor, A Dream Within a Dream (2)
「Invisible message: Escape the dream constructed by the first-class god, ‘The Primordial Dream,’ Iris. Time remaining: 4 hours 24 minutes.」
“Three hundred years ago?”
“Yes.” Iris placed her hand gently atop mine, her gaze filled with quiet concern.
There was a peculiar, magnetic pull in her clear, radiant red eyes. It was as if they were drawing me in.
With her free hand, she softly caressed my cheek.
The blanket draped across her collarbone had slipped down, but I didn’t have the peace of mind to notice. The throbbing in my skull intensified.
“You once told me you lost someone dear to you. Some nights, you intentionally drink too much; that’s when you tend to dream about it.” Her voice faded as her eyes dropped.
Just like that, memories began to surface.
Yes, that is right.
It had been ages since I conquered the hundredth floor of the tower. Even now, three hundred years later, those memories still tormented me from deep within.
It had been an incredibly painful time.
No, painful isn’t a strong enough word.
