As he had said before, it would go against everything he had stood for if they toyed too much with these beings.
For as long as anyone could remember—whether from their own encounters with Ash or from the stories passed around over time—it was understood that once he had enjoyed his fill of fun and adventure, what followed was complete destruction.
This had become something of a tradition for the clan, unlike other Novels who left the remnants of the lower realms behind after departing.

This left him wondering—how should he erase the Source?
After some careful thought, they all agreed it might be worth indulging the curiosity of the Reader's Faction.
