Protagonist Howard was in a profound inner turmoil.
He felt as if his death was inevitable.
No matter the choice, the end seemed predestined.
Especially after hearing that one of the two recently deceased protagonists had almost escaped to the outskirts of the city, only to be captured by Alan.
Howard felt like a puppet on strings, with the threads of fate not in his own hands.
Soon, the next day arrived.
Howard still felt like a lamb waiting for the slaughter.
When he saw the Order Officer and a group of elderly alchemists approaching him,
Howard's heart leaped to his throat.
"Dear Howard, I have good news for you, you've been appointed as a Level 4 alchemist, the current Deputy Head of the Alchemy Tower!"
"Your position is second only to this old man!"
The speaker, a white-haired old alchemist, was the current Head of the Rivenland Alchemy Tower.
