Even after a few hours, Ryan still felt… surreal. Nothing felt real today. Everything was a mess.
Just a few hours ago, he was hostage to the giants in a war he had nothing to do with. Now, he was back at home in comfort and luxury. With Kaelith buried in his arms, her face a sobbing mess.
What was this lunacy?
Nothing made sense anymore.
The entire setup had felt like a legit survival movie plot. He had been travelling with a mastermind strategist, Eleanor, who was also one of the human race's strongest. Then, he ended up being kidnapped.
The scenario had been do or die. Ryan truly had been a bit terrified. Yet, it was all over without much drama.
With how stories are usually, shouldn't I have been forced into a desperate situation?
Then, he would use his Heavenly Plunder skill to change misfortune to fortune. He would also become a more confident, stronger person after suffering that first setback.
