In such a heavy situation, Alexander found himself becoming increasingly calm.
Much of the reason was the spinning Enneagram on his chest that felt like an extension of himself.
Every time that a new support ability gem was placed in.
Every time he felt a thread of his Vigor and Energeia increase from all the Socketed Gems he had.
At this moment, he came to a realization.
He had more Gems Socketed inside of his body than any single Gem Master in the history of the Human Lineages.
Within the Ascendant Branches of Human Lineages, he had heard rumors and Legends of Gem Masters who had Seven-Link Sockets or even Eight-Link Sockets.
The Legends that had stood against the onslaught of Beasts of Corruption and carved out areas in their World of Ephesus that stood tall to this very day.
He may just be starting out, but he had more Gems socketed than even these Legends!
This realization.
