He had thought them twisted, inhumane, and beyond redemption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Federation was no different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That realization hardened something within him. Whatever faint remnants of trust he had carried for organizations claiming to protect humanity were now gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this moment forward, he would grow stronger as quickly as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone who dared to stand in his way would become one of his undead servants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would trust no one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not an organization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From what he had learned inside that cursed mountain, the Federation, the so-called last defender of humanity, was far from united.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the common people, they presented a united front. They spoke of solidarity, sacrifice, and hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But beneath the surface, they were fractured into three distinct factions, each pursuing its own agenda.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first faction genuinely sought to defend their home world and resist the abyss. They believed in protecting humanity at any cost, though not at the cost of their humanity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, this faction was the smallest and weakest presence within the Federation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their voices were often drowned out by louder, more ruthless ideologies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second faction was far more aggressive. They refused to accept what they believed was a losing battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jareth had belonged to this faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also the most powerful faction within the Federation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their plan had been simple in concept yet horrifying in execution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Create something capable of existing between realms, an entity that could bridge the gap between their world and the abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They believed such a creation would grant humanity leverage, perhaps even dominance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To achieve that goal, they were willing to sacrifice the masses without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Morality was secondary. Human life was expendable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They justified their cruelty as a necessity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, they were driven by fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were afraid of dying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the third faction, they maintained a neutral stance on the surface. They neither openly resisted the abyss nor fully supported the grotesque experiments of the second faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, many suspected their true intentions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumors suggested that they favored surrender.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To them, fighting against the abyss was meaningless. If annihilation was inevitable, why not submit?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why not welcome the abyss as a new home and adapt to whatever existence remained?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their actions were discreet, so subtle that no one could clearly trace their influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For years, they had remained dormant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inactive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many believed they had abandoned their ideology or dissolved entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Thoren knew better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had sensed an elusive presence that did not belong to Jareth’s faction. It had been faint, fleeting, and difficult to grasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could not confirm it, but his instincts told him the third faction was still watching from the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for his sister, he had searched the internal archives before leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had found records confirming her identity and profession, but her current whereabouts were missing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, one thing had been clear from the files... She was a powerful awakener.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it possible she ascended to the second floor?\" he murmured, lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she had broken through the first floor’s limits, that would explain the lack of information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second floor was a realm far beyond the reach of most awakeners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving before the Undead Iron Roar Komodo, Thoren pushed the thought aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he ascended to the second floor himself, the truth would reveal itself naturally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it all over?\" one of the Knight Order members asked hesitantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The question was unnecessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mere sight of Thoren’s unscathed body was answer enough. Not a single scratch marked his clothes. Not a drop of blood stained his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the idea that a single awakener had destroyed the Federation was almost impossible to comprehend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoren nodded calmly and climbed onto the back of his undead mount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To the Slave Trade Guild hideout,\" he commanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, he would eradicate the two festering vermin once and for all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they had targeted him in the past, they could never have imagined that one day he would become their hunter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three Knight Order members exchanged glances, their eyes filled with astonishment as they looked at the silver-haired boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To them, he no longer seemed merely human. He felt like something else, something far more terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them swallowed hard and pointed toward the direction of the Slave Trade Guild’s hideout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As members of the Knight Order, they had always taken pride in their organization. Their strength was unquestionable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had stood firm in countless battles, fighting for the survival of the human race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That noble cause had sustained their pride, even in death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet despite their strength, they had been helpless before the Federation’s corruption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had watched from the sidelines, powerless to challenge its authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single individual had eradicated the Federation in less than half an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the brief clashes they had witnessed, it had been nothing short of a one-sided slaughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Federation Police Officers who had once intimidated them and stood toe-to-toe with them in power were gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three exchanged another glance before returning their gaze to the back of the silver-haired youth riding ahead of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Respect welled up within their chests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who decided that necromancy was evil?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this was evil, then they would love to become one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoren, however, paid no attention to their thoughts. His focus was fixed on the system notifications hovering before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Experience Gained +20,000]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Summoned Entities: Experience Gained +10,000]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Spirit +10]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Copper Coins +1,000, Silver Coins +100]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He frowned slightly as he studied the numbers. Most of the experience had come from defeating the abomination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That much was obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what truly captured his attention was the change in his spirit attribute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His spirit had not increased beyond one hundred. Even with the additional ten points, it had capped precisely at that threshold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it possible that attributes cannot exceed one hundred?\" he wondered aloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He considered the possibility carefully before shaking his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No... this is likely the maximum attainable on the first floor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his spirit reaching one hundred, he could already feel a difference. It was subtle yet undeniable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His perception had sharpened. His control over undead energy felt more refined, more fluid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he sensed something else, an invisible shackle wrapped tightly around his soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he could not see it, he knew it existed. It restrained him, limiting the full expression of his power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He instinctively understood that breaking this shackle would bring about a fundamental transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he did not yet know how to break it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until he did, there was no use dwelling on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted his head and stared into the distance. His silver hair swayed gently in the wind as the undead mount advanced across the rugged terrain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression was calm, but his resolve was firmer than ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unbeknownst to him, shortly after his departure from the Federation hideout, a group of black-hooded figures arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They moved silently through the devastated entrance and stepped into the ruined chambers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They surveyed the destruction in silence. Broken walls. Collapsed corridors. The lingering scent of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They failed...\" one of the figures said in a genderless voice, devoid of emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let us hope he will stop him,\" another figure replied quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That would be for the best,\" a third voice concluded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*****\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[AN: Thank you all for your supports and gift.
