The SP was a nice bonus, but the information about the barrier weakening was far more valuable and troubling.
Could it be because of me?
My presence in this world, my knowledge of future events... had that somehow accelerated the timeline?
I'd always assumed I was just an observer, but what if I was actually a catalyst then it was a whole different story.
With Riggs gone, I leaned against the training room wall, suddenly feeling the exhaustion from the sparring session.
"Even if it's not because of me, this changes everything," I muttered.
The weakening barrier meant Antwon would be crossing sooner than expected.
