Percy didn’t want to be here. He’d hoped his arrival at the capital would open new doors, but that was mostly related to becoming a businessman to make full use of his Ego.

The tides of the battle threatened to change again. The Doom of Power might be no more, but the wave of Demons was terrifying to face.

The Silverdusk Bear didn’t look as terrifying as it used to, but that was understandable. Instead of terrifying others, it had been torn into shreds, nourishing the ground with its deep red blood as it poured out of the torn body parts. The blood either flung through the air as smaller body par...
