Chapter 3: The Unexpected Encounter

Despite his newfound power, Kael couldn't shake the feeling of emptiness in his heart. His humanity, though overshadowed by darkness, still lingered. One fateful day, he encountered a young woman named Lina, a fierce and compassionate warrior whose family had been victims of the demon lord's rampage.

To Kael's astonishment, Lina showed no fear and confronted him head-on. Their battle was fierce, but with every clash of their weapons, Kael sensed an inexplicable connection. He saw glimpses of his past, a life he had long forgotten, and a glimmer of hope that redemption was possible.
