Runemaster in the Last Days novel Chapter 462

With that, Governor Zachary left.

Peter glanced at Governor Zachary's back and silently shook his head as he washed his hand. "There's no point in worrying about them… for they who have chosen to take this path will not back down so easily."

People who have never been to that world will never understand these returnees' fixation towards their training, paths, and also the fact that they would not actually kill other returnees. Even if they 'compete' for one reasons or another, they would never actually point their sword towards the other party's heart.

Because the difference in the two world is very different.

Peter closed his eyes as he sat down, reminiscing the days when he was in that world.

He's a poor child, someone who couldn't even eat enough and had to travel to various places in order to train. Having tested his talent when he was in that world, Peter knew very well that he had no future to be a magician.

So he trained his body.

Day and night, like a madman who kept on abusing his body without any sign of stopping.

'From the moment we come to this world, our only way out is if we keep moving forward… to break the restriction of life and to welcome the future path that only we could carve ourselves.'

They have no time to care about the past and could only look towards the unknown future.

Live in that world is strange.

It was filled with both danger and peace at the same time.

If they didn't want to make progress, all they could do was to become an ordinary person for the rest of their lives. Nothing will change from the beginning to the end, just eat, sleep, and wait for death.

But how could they be willing to live a life like that?

There was indeed such a chance…

It was just all returnees never thought of living like that unless they truly had no other choice.

Amidst the difficulty to find the most suitable path, they managed to find a way to practice and carve their own path.

Four years.

Through those four years, they experienced various life and death battle, a different kind of struggle, and a completely different life.

And it was also after they reached rank 7 that they came to understand how the fragile balance of the world could be achieved.

They're geniuses on their own.

To be able to reach such a height in such a short period of time, it had long proved their excellencies.

Yet at the same time, it also proved how desperate they were to practice during that period of time. For their respective reasons, they have to keep moving forward at the fastest speed possible.

Peter didn't know about others.

But for him, he wanted to become stronger so that he could challenge all kind of people and enjoyed the feeling of progress. Sensing one's strength kept on getting stronger, who would not like it?

It was just that all kind of progress had to be accompanied by a lot of pain.
