Chapter 7: The Wrong Sky The morning looked wrong. Claude couldn't explain it better than that. The sky was blue, too blue maybe, with the shade just slightly off from what his memory insisted it should be. The sun rose from the eastern horizon like always, painting the clouds in shades of orange and purple that looked more performed than natural. Birds sang while merchants set up stalls in village square with practiced efficiency that suggested choreography learned over generations. Everything looked…-

Chapter 17 – Comrade
Chapter 17: Comrade Armored Dragon Calendar Year 417 – Days Before the Metastasis --- I had known Claude for almost my entire life. We had grown up in the same village, played the same games, attended the same lessons. I remembered him as a child before the transformation. Loud and boisterous, the kind of boy who found joy in tormenting those weaker than himself. He had been cruel to Sylphy. That was the memory I carried most clearly from those early years. The green-haired girl who cried when he threw…-

Chapter 47: The Beast's Challenge Armored Dragon Calendar Year 418 – Claude, Age 13 --- The dungeon memories pressed against my consciousness. I stood at the forge, hammer in hand, sweat dripping from my brow. The heat billowed against my face. Sparks danced with every strike. But my mind was elsewhere. Down in those endless corridors.

Dawn light filtered through the training ground windows, casting long shadows across the stone floor. The Knight Templar facilities in Millis were never empty—there was always someone training, always someone pushing toward the next level of skill—but this early, I had the main hall mostly to myself.

Chapter 77.5 – The Lonely Road
Chapter 72.5: The Lonely Road The inn room was too quiet. I'd rented it for two people. Paid for two beds. Ordered meals for two. But when morning came, only one person remained. The other bed sat empty, sheets still rumpled from where she'd slept beside me just hours before. Evidence of her presence lingered, a few red hairs on the pillow, the faint scent of her shampoo, the memory of warmth that had made me believe, for one night, that everything would be alright. She'd left a note, just…-
