Chapter 196: Unburdened
Sitting on the very edge of the Sanctuary island with his feet dangling above the abyss of the Sky Below, Sunny was enjoying the view of the clear streams falling down into the darkness and turning into clouds of water dust.
After a while, he lowered his eyes and looked at the item laying on his palm with a bit of confusion.
’So... that’s it?’
This was one of the two Memories he had exchanged for his assistance with the Simulated Universe, recieved directly from Herta’s puppet. It looked like a long, narrow needle forged out of black steel, with gold wire wrapped around one of its ends — sort of like an antique acupuncture needle, but much sturdier.
The needle’s name was Heavenly Burden... a very ironic name for a Memory, here on the Chained Isles.
Very curious, Sunny summoned the runes:
Memory: [Heavenly Burden].
Memory Rank: Awakened.
Memory Tier: III.
Memory Type: Tool.
Memory Description: [To be free of a burden, one has to let go of all attachments they hold in their heart. Only those who untethered themselves from everything can become truly free.]
