It was freezing and icy. People hurried along the paved streets, bundled in warm clothes to shield themselves from the biting cold.
All except for a man with long golden hair, who strolled nonchalantly in a half-shirt and shorts, moving casually down the road as if the frigid air didn't bother him at all.
Those around him couldn't help but cast incredulous glances his way.
"He must be an Awakener."
"Only an Awakener could wear such light clothes..."
Eryke's ears twitched as he caught the whispers around him.
'Oh, they're correct about that.'
He looked around. Though plenty of people were walking the streets, it still felt much more vacant than the last time he had been here.
Even their steps were hurried and quick.
"It's dangerous," Eryke shook his head.
After weaving through the streets, he eventually arrived at a tall building with S&G Group written on the signboard.
