However, this seemed to be a horizonless place. After quite a bit of running, probably twice around the
entire Earth, they still couldnât find the edge.
âYour highness, sir. I donât think I can go any longer!â
âIâll have to go first!â Channing said in a weak voice. Focused on their surroundings just a while ago, the
group couldnât watch the old man. However, they were shocked to see his current state when turning to
him. His life force was nearly drained completely.
He looked extremely scrawny, as well as if heâd been dug out from a coffin. His eyes were lifeless, and
his journey seemed to be coming to an end.
âHenderson!â Daya was quite sad. âI have failed you.â
âYour highness, I⦠Iâm happy enough just to have been able⦠To see you again!â
These were Channingâs last words. Smiling faintly, he breathed his last.
âArghhhh!â
âWhat is this horrible place?! I donât want to die like this. I simply canât!â Shirley yelled, completely
losing faith after seeing Channing pass away.
Aging rapidly, she could also clearly feel that she had lost a lot of her own life force as well. She noticed
that her fair, smooth hands were now riddled with wrinkles, her skin turning dull and darker as well. It
was a fate she refused to accept.
Thud!
Pigsy crashed hard to the ground, no longer able to run anymore, throwing everyone off its back almost
immediately.
âUgh, what did I ever do? Why do I have to suffer this? Oh god, please have mercy on me! Donât blame
this all on me. This is all Alexâs fault! You can punish him instead!â Pigsy lay on the ground, panting as
it wailed emotionally.
It was getting old too.
âMy beloved!â Daya held onto Alexâs hands, her expression filled with sadness.
Tears began to trickle down her face. Wrinkles were showing up as well. She was growing old, just like
the others.
This was also happening to Alex. He looked even older than Daya at this point
Alex was regretting all his decisions now. He cupped Dayaâs aged face, his eyes filled with sorrow.
âDaya, Iâm so sorry. Itâs all my fault. I shouldnât have let you come with me.â
Daya shook her head. âNo, itâs not your fault at all. I volunteered to come, and I only have one regret. I
feel like I donât have much life force left⦠Iâm going to die soon. ButI still havenât gotten to see our
daughter one last time. As a mother, I have failed.â
Thinking that his life was coming to an end, Alex was unwilling to accept this as well.
âI have kids and a family! How could I just die here?â
âBut Iâve tried everything⦠Nothing works.â
He hugged Daya gently. Laying on the ground together, they waited for their deaths to arrive.
At the side, Shirley said, âAlex, Iâm going to die soon. I hope we donât meet in our next lives.â
On the other hand, Ynes said, âAlex, you did this to me. Remember to compensate me in our next life.â
After that, both their eyes turned lifeless. Alex felt his heart sink to the bottom of the sea.
âWhy did it end like this?â
Then, his surroundings turned dead silent.
Just then, a voice chimed within his ears. âHuh? How a in I not dead yet?â
It was⦠Channing!
Having little strength left, Alex and Daya lifted their heads slowly. Their eyes, however, were met with
something shocking.
