First Encounter with the Night Watchman

A week earlier.

After returning to Dark Assassin Main City from the Mining Area on Sun-Eroding Island, Xie Wen began tallying his gains before listing the ores he had mined during this period on the Trading House.

He had kept up this repetitive life for an entire year.

Though uneventful, he enjoyed it and never found it tiring.

As for the many shadows in his real life, after so much time had passed, he had gradually let them go.

That included the girl he had once worked so hard to mine ore and earn money to treat, only for her to leave him after regaining her sight. He no longer hated her either.

His world no longer needed any embellishment. He could live well on his own.

The only thing Xie Wen could not understand was who the man he had met at the bar on the night before he regained his sight had been.

It was because of that man's words and a single glass of wine that his life had undergone earth-shaking changes.

His grandfather had once told him that the gods watched from above, that heaven saw all human deeds, and that good and evil would eventually be repaid.

Xie Wen believed that gentle-spoken man had to have been a god.

His new life was a gift bestowed by the gods upon his kindness.

Thus, the kindness in Xie Wen's heart had never wavered. Instead, it had only grown firmer.

As he waited, game notifications continuously rang out in his mind:
