With time, the king was devoured from the inside and became its puppet. A lifetime later, the Puppeteer Worm escaped from the king's dead body, leaving behind a cocoon of black silk.
No one knows where it went; however, once people dared to approach the silent castle, they found the silk among the mountains of gnawed bones and fashioned it into armor.]
Memory: [Mighty Resolve].
Memory Rank: ???
Memory Type: Weapon.
Memory Description: [Two souls once sat amidst the ruins of a dying age, separated by the vast river of time, yet bound by the same hollow sky.
One was a young soldier, his shoulders crushed by an oath so heavy it had become a physical weight, a duty no mortal was meant to carry.
The second man was a traveler from a future already lost. He, too, bore a mission that tasted of ash and iron, a burden that left no room for his own soul to breathe.
In a final act of mercy, the traveler granted the soldier the only gift left to give: the cold, quiet embrace of shadows.
As the soldier's duty finally ended, his unshakable spirit bled into the very steel that liberated him.
This blade does not hunger for blood, but for the weight of a conviction that refuses to falter.]

These are his full runes.
I wanted to address a few comments I read. They're both from Ao3 and WebNovel, so if you don't see it, it's because you might be on a different platform.
1 The last SoS affirmation confused some of you.
When he said "You certainly can't lie to yourself" he meant that if Sunny DID lie to himself, SoS would just call bullshit on it. Sunny is still free of thinking however he likes. That was my bad, and I made a small change to the dialogue now.
Sunny's Flaw extent will be better explained in the next chapter.
2 SoS might become annoying in the future.
I agree with this, that is why I won't be constantly spamming him everywhere. I also have a reason, from a narrative perspective, that will help mitigate the ghostly aberration. Emphasis on the word mitigate.

Really glad you're enjoying the story and always commenting. Keeps me on track to improve and continue writing.
For the next chapter, I might need some time to evaluate and plan Sunny's next moves. Then I'll be back with Waking World and Academy "Arc".
Thanks for your attention, see you later.
