Chapter 94: Glorious View!
He was very, very close to becoming a level three aura warrior, he just had to focus, keep taking steps along the path and manage to evolve in his own mind, shattering those huge doors that were locked shut.
His reasons to grow stronger were more than the gods and goddesses could even imagine.
To protect his sister for the rest of his life. To create an adequate life for himself and those he cared about, even if he no longer cared about the world. To eradicate the concept of racism. To unite all races against the real threat. To find the woman he cared for in his old life. To rescue his former comrades as he would have done in the Kingdom of Akairon.
And so much more was on his plate. He had promises to make, and business to take care of, which was why he was going to the Kingdom of Akairon in the first place.
He wanted to save someone he could risk his own life to save, someone who didn’t even know him in this life.
Fate was working as if it was something that was left with gaps and had to be filled by innocent people. This must be what is called the debt of fate.
He had to do every one of them. All the help he had received from others...every single thing he had done in his previous life...every single one of them had to be paid in full.
Every one of them was a promise to someone else, and Atlas had to keep moving forward, even if he didn’t want to be a hero, even if he would rather see every human die, and even if he thought nothing but death about all races, especially humans.
He had become a bad person. He wasn’t too bad. He didn’t rape or molest or steal things like some bandits, but even though Atlas Shorekeeper was the first Duke of the Fourth Ducal house of the Epsilon Empire and a student at the Hero Academy Globe, he didn’t have a single heroic aspiration.
