Thud.
My head knocked against the coffin in front of the altar, making a sharp sound.
I held my head as I got up, my whole body aching as if it had been reforged. My blurry vision gradually cleared, revealing a coffin in front of me. I held a memorial tablet in my hand.
The tablet read: [Memorial Tablet of Adriel, 18th Master of the Cole Sect.]
I had carved this tablet with my own hands, and I had bought this coffin myself.
My grief over my master's death etched every detail into my mind.
Now, I had somehow been reborn on this very day.
"Master."
I carefully placed the tablet on the altar, knelt down, and solemnly bowed three times.
I remembered my master's last words. She warned me never to leave the mountain after her death. But in my previous life, I had found the solitude unbearable and chose to leave the mountain today.
My plan was to travel for just a year before returning to the sect. During that journey, I encountered Austin, Jason, and Vincent. From that moment, I never made it back to the mountain.
"Master, I'm leaving."
I stood up.
"I'm going to kill those three heartless men.
"Once they're dead, I'll come back."
