Golden aura flames covered Rion's body, and a stream left his drenched body as the water evaporated instantly.
He rose to his feet, stared at the boundless sea before him, and fell into a daze.
The sunlight fell into the water, scattering like tiny rainbows and stars, while the sea's surface gleamed like a mirror.
From the moment he opened his life in this second life, he wanted to enjoy everything he couldn't in his past life, but as he took on more responsibilities, it became harder to stay the person he used to be.
James, who had been reincarnated after fifteen years of nothing but suffering, had lost to Rion, who had raised his spear to protect his loved ones, and he could no longer appreciate the world as he used to.
In a way, his forming the ether core was no different than a part of James forever staying alive within him, as it bound him to the world.
Thinking that, his lips curled upwards, and he mumbled, "How Ironic..."
James had always wanted to live a normal life.
