3180 My Name is Solus (Part 2)

'Maybe once it runs out, you'll be more reasonable.' The Tree said before sealing the room shut.

'Solus.' She sobbed from the prison of her broken body. 'My name is Solus.'

Griffon Kingdom, Nestrar Region, in the middle of nowhere.

Sunlight relieved Derek of most of his hunger yet it also brought him to the brink of madness. Most of the knowledge and power he had gained when Lith had reemerged to fight the Chroniclers was gone.

"Who the fuck were those guys and what did they want from me? Why do I feel so empty?" The Void had failed to answer Elysia's call but he had perceived it nonetheless.

His homing instinct craved to reach the small, distant shadow that brightened his heart, yet his paranoia didn't allow him to. Derek was afraid it was another trick of the "entity" that wanted to control his body or a trap set by someone who wanted to hurt him.

Like those elves from the other night.

"Why do I feel so angry?" The attempt on his life, the emptiness left by Lith's absence, and Elysia's call were already bad, but they got worse.

"The weirdest thing, even though there's nothing normal in this situation, is that I don't get to learn stuff via level ups or rewards. Everything just comes to my mind while I fight and, most of the time, it stays there.

"On the one hand, I like not being forced to shout out the name of my abilities like a moron to activate them. On the other hand, I don't feel any external help. Without my focus, my mana, and my will, not even the simplest of spells takes form.

"The system is of no help at all. It's more like a character sheet for some twisted larping adventure."

The answer came in the form of a holographic window from the Voidfeather that read:
