A month had passed since the day they had lost Stanley. Everyone was back to normal. Ray had finally gotten over Stanley's death with the help of Lloyd and the others. It was very hard for them to make him come out of his room. Fortunately, their hard work had paid off greatly and Ray was saved from falling into depression and succumbing to corruption.
They had known for a while that a person cannot only be affected by corruption through the hellspawn disease but also in various methods, such as falling beyond depression to the point where they go insane and full of negativity. Other direct methods were like the curse that had befallen on the people of Vyris.
Over the course of a month that had run through, their strength had also risen up. Klaudia was now a rank III aspirant and she had gain new skills that were very useful. Ray also had ascended to the same rank as Klaudia as he trained so hard in order to not lose more of his companions in the future.
