"Were souls like mine especially common?"

Charles felt the latter possibility was more likely.

The stronger he became, the fewer secrets this world seemed to hold from him.

Only after becoming a Seventh Ring did he understand the true meaning of an anchor point.

At this moment, he had ascended here.

An anchor point had been left within this plane.

He could likewise leave anchor points in other planes, but resurrecting would not be so easy.
