Darius was back in Fallon, sitting within the peak of his tower as he pondered many things. He had come back from Gravitas after leveling the entire continent and ending so many innocent as well as not so innocent lives.
Just like with the war on Fallon, the deaths did not give him any experience since he indirectly caused it. He also was not in any hurry to level up now, because more important than levels were stats.
With more stats came more raw power, and skills allowed him to funnel and refine the power for his own use. Leveling only gave him 5 points in stats and 3 points in skills but meant that his experience gain was reduced.
Darius would never do something so counter-intuitive. Just one Event or Quest could give him more than that, and speaking of that, he was pondering about his apprentices.
