Chapter 286: Why is this happening to me? Why me?!
Leo had met Alice in her previous life on different occasions. Having the title, ’last man standing’ and a lot of coincidence that allowed her to survive despite others who were far more powerful than her dying, made it evident that her title was in effect.
She would be the last man standing at the end, so he approached her.
Titles weren’t given to specific Awakeneds on Leo’s directive. The system seemed to see a person’s deep potential and read their fate when they get attached to them.
So, that title was basically their fate whether they liked it or not.
The first time Leo approached Alice was when she lost Devon.
On that day, when she was to be a member of the Snow Guild, there was an ambush. A monster ambush. It was apparently being led by someone, and his guess was the demons, but they did not come out of the shadows.
The damage done was so great that even Devon, who was an S-class awakened, lost his life. When something like that happened, and to the guy Alice had given her heart to for the first time, she lost her mind.
It was the second time she was witnessing the death of someone she held so dear and this time, there wasn’t even a body for her to hold on to while she wept.
Even with her system, she felt she was very powerless. She was pathetic.
The second calamity came in waves. And while the skies were dyed red and there was a gigantic white status that covered the entire sky, it did not attack.
Rather, multiple red gates were opening up and releasing different sorts of monsters.
