Clayton experienced a sense of déjà vu as he remembered the contents of the recent system notification that appeared before them.
'How naïve of me,' he shook his head. 'Did I really think the third trial to become a Verdant Warden Awakened would have been so straightforward?'
To him, it was just a year or so ago though history said it was three centuries, but he never forgot the experiences of Trial I that traumatized him.
Living all your life as a human just to see yourself as a plant all of a sudden.
The trauma, the challenges, and his spite that pushed him to survive all of it all… he would never forget it.
Those days were some of the darkest of his life, but they were also what enabled him to truly embrace himself and who he was. Afterall, sometimes, it was only when faced with death that your true self materialized.
And once again, Clayton faced a similar situation, the escalation of the system just as victory seemed so close.
