"This… shouldn't be happening."
Adonis currently sat on his bed, his room surrounding him like one massive cage that tied him down.
His eyes appeared vacant as they fixatedly stared at the ground, and his head hung low atop his shoulder.
Despite his usual muscular figure, Adonis looked strangely small in the confines of his room.
"So much has changed. I can't keep up any longer." He sighed, punching his forehead with his hand.
Adonis could not properly describe what he was feeling at the moment.
He had tried his best to ensure his second chance at life wasn't wasted.
He made sure his classmates were a coherent team, and he ensured they started training early and took it very seriously.
He practiced hard—working his butt off even when everyone was resting.
All of it was so he could get even the tiniest bit stronger than he was in the past.
And yet…
'When it came down to it, I failed.'
