I froze at the revelation.
The words left my mouth almost on their own.
"...I'm Drugar's weapon against the Order?"
"Not just you," Mordra replied. "Every Chosen within this world. And every Chosen across the countless worlds Drugar has created."
I let out a slow, heavy breath.
Some part of me had always known there was something bigger hiding behind the Chosen, the System, and the King's Game. None of it had ever felt like it existed for entertainment or some meaningless competition. There had to be a purpose.
I just hadn't expected it to be this.
I looked down at my hands.
"So...the reason I'm here..." I said quietly. "The reason I've been fighting, leveling up, surviving all this time..."
I looked back at her.
"...was simply to become a weapon Drugar could use against the Order and the Eternal Assembly."
"Yes," Mordra answered without hesitation.
The simplicity of her response somehow made it even harder to accept.
