The road was slih the slums were always in poor condition since no one could be bothered to maintain the A pungent smell enshrouded the slums as excrement in the alleys would sometimes be flushed into the main streets by the rain Inside the closely packed wooden houses,their houses before rushi+ng to the docks to find jobs A lot of houses suffered froedies where houses collapsed occurred from time to time

Soran held the deceased dog in his ar streets Vivian held his ar hi who had accompanied her since her birth had finally reached the end of its lifespan and left the cruel world

The siblings were going to properly bury it just as one would bury their beloved relatives

The reason was simple: Heath was, in their minds, their relative

“Soran…”

“Oi, that’s Soran! He finally woke up!”

“Hoh, soood is bound to happen soon”

The residents in the slu themselves as they peeked at Soran with both respect and fear in their eyes Soran had been a reputable thief before he was defeated by a wizard He could easily knock down three to five adults, and it was ruers that he could nail a fly onto the ith just a sirunts who controlled the nearby streets They targeted Vivian the moment they learned that Soran was unconscious, and ruiven them a considerable deposit for the deal The two also warned the nearby residents that she was their prey and told them to stay out of the way

The slu to stand up for the little girl They were afraid of the grunts, not tobrother, where are we going?”

Vivian earing a tattered shi+rt woven with cheap linen Only residents of the slu, as it was poorly h Soran was an outstanding thief, he was only a subordinate to an even e portion of his loot to the gang leader, leaving his to angs and factions A newbie thief, albeit talented, could not go up against such regulations

“To the graveyard Heath deserves a place in there”

Soran looked around as he walked, subconsciously cos He was familiar with the naaun A terrible crack in space-time stripped the Gods of their divine powers, and they were forced to descend into the mortal world as Saints From time to time, some Gods would ascend back to the heavenly realm, while others were slain by the mortals To be honest, players were only part of the story—an insignificant part

Players only had three lives in <clash of=”” the=”” titans=””>>

Every time a player died, they would respaith a penalty of -3 in Constitution The penalty was per three tile avatar, the avatar would be deleted froame, and the player would have to start over from scratch

In that chaotic period, hts, only to fall into the deep void soon after

It was a stage which belonged to everyone

The Epic Main Quest ended when the Gods finally returned to their own realm, but not before a third of them had already died

Even powerful deities like the Goddess of Magic, Master Order, the Night Baroness, the Shadow Monarch, and the Dread Lord fell during the crisis

That was not the end; an evenevent came afterwards

The thrones of the Gods and Goddesses fell from the heavenly real special realether, those were named the Realm of Gods

Only players who had endured hardshi+ps and survived the crisis were qualified to explore these special real the period of turbulence, they had to start over fro They could only qualify for the weakest real their profession to an advanced grade

A torrent of confusing memories suddenly appeared in his mind

The scenes only visible to Soran showed him holess and disordered the world was in the future

The Saints ere originally deities cracked the continent apart and coed the nature of over a dozen continental shelves, with three of the flames, an iced continent frozen till all eternity, and a land of undeads Deed fro one another by i suspicion and fear into their hearts Numerous NPCs were affected by the demons, and a considerable number of players succumbed to the temptations of the de the world in a dome of blood More than twelve fortresses with over a hundred thousand soldiers and citizens were trampled on and annihilated just on the first day the Abyss awoke

The players called that period The Dawn

It was the dawn of the Gods, the dawn of the players, and, finally, the dawn of the entire world

In this crisis which affected the entire universe, everyone died at least once Even Soran was utterly defeated and had to reincarnate

No one could escape from the wrath of the crisis

Soht to be the best build against dee of the Saints

Most irand finale for the heavenly titans!

When everything was finally over, the age of an Countless special realerous yet rewarding realine

Poealth, even immortality; people could obtain them within the ruins of the fallen realraveyard was not in the slums There was only a mass pit for the deceased there The corpses would be tossed into the pit and eaten by wild dogs Some of the corpses would disappear into thin air as well; those were obviously taken away by necromancers or evil spellcasters No one knehat the corpses would become, and no one cared either
