Knox felt the unyielding pressure of Master's hand, a force that seemed to drive him deeper into the earth with each passing moment. The weight on his skull was relentless, a constant reminder of his powerlessness. Her voice, sharp and bitter, carried the weight of not just centuries but millennia of isolation and despair, echoing in his ears.
"Do you even comprehend the depth of my misery?" Master's words sliced through the air, each syllable heavy with the burden of millennia. "Do you have any inkling of how long I have roamed these lands, cursed and sealed away by those who feared my power?"
As Knox lay there, the dirt mingling with his breath, he couldn't help but feel the gravity of Master's words. The thought of enduring thousands of years of solitude, branded as a pariah by those who once revered her, was a concept too immense to grasp fully. He sensed the ache of loneliness that permeated her voice, the bitterness of being forsaken by those she once called kin.
At that moment, Knox saw Master not as an omnipotent force but as a burdened one by the weight of her existence. He felt a pang of sympathy for her plight, a flicker of understanding for the anguish that had shaped her into the formidable figure she now was.
Yet, amidst the empathy that stirred within him, Knox knew that he could not afford to hesitate. Despite Master's suffering, she remained a formidable threat, capable of unleashing untold chaos upon the world if left unchallenged. And so, with a resolve as unyielding as the earth beneath him, Knox steeled himself for the battles yet to come, determined to confront the darkness that threatened to consume them all.
“Fine, I’ll do as you say.”
“Good.” She replied curtly.
As Master spread her arms wide, Knox felt a surge of determination coursing through his veins. With a swift and decisive motion, he summoned the fiery power of his eternal flame, channeling it into a searing blaze that engulfed his outstretched arm. The fire danced with an intensity that matched the turmoil raging within Knox's heart.
Without a moment's hesitation, Knox lunged forward, his arm extended like a spear aimed at Master's heart. The flames crackled and roared as they surged towards their target, leaving a trail of scorching heat in their wake. In that fleeting moment, Knox felt a pang of regret for what he was about to do, but he knew that there was no turning back now.
The flames collided with Master's chest with a deafening roar, the impact sending shockwaves rippling through the air. For a heartbeat, time seemed to stand still as Knox watched the blaze consume her form, the flames licking hungrily at her skin.
Then, with a sudden burst of light, Master's figure disintegrated into a cloud of ash, scattering into the wind like embers carried away by a gust. Knox stood there, his arm still outstretched, his chest heaving with exertion and emotion.
As the echoes of the battle faded into the ether, Knox felt a weight lift from his shoulders, replaced by a sense of solemn resolve. He knew that the road ahead would be fraught with challenges and uncertainty, but he also knew that he had taken the first step toward fulfilling his destiny.

As the flood of new information poured into Knox's mind, he felt overwhelmed, his senses reeling from the onslaught of data. Every new level brought with it a torrent of knowledge, pushing his mind to its limits and beyond. He struggled to process it all, his thoughts racing in a desperate attempt to make sense of the endless stream of information.
But just as Knox felt himself on the verge of collapse, everything went dark. The sudden absence of sensation was disorienting, leaving him floating in a void of emptiness. He reached out, searching for some semblance of solidity, but found nothing but the cold embrace of nothingness.
In the darkness, Knox's thoughts swirled, his mind a whirlwind of confusion and uncertainty. He tried to grasp onto something, anything, to anchor himself in the void, but there was nothing to hold onto. Fear gnawed at the edges of his consciousness, threatening to consume him entirely.
And then, slowly but surely, a faint light began to pierce the darkness. It was dim at first, barely more than a glimmer on the horizon, but it grew steadily brighter with each passing moment. Knox felt a surge of hope welling up inside him as the light expanded, pushing back the shadows and illuminating the void with its warm glow.
As the light enveloped him, Knox felt a sense of peace wash over him, banishing the fear and uncertainty that had plagued him moments before.
He sat up with a quick jolt, having been woken up by the mysterious light. Knox could feel the new power surging through him, so he decided to check his status.

Knox’s mind couldn’t comprehend what he was seeing. ‘WHAT?! I knew she was powerful, but… damn.’ He’s never even heard of anyone or anything that has ever been as strong as he is now. But before he continued, he had to choose where to put all of his new stat points. Knox decided to split it evenly into all of his stats.
