Vesh looked at the five destiny echoes and chose Veron's echo to invoke his first card.
[ Far Reaching Destiny activated. ]
[ Unwritten destiny of Veron Mill manifesting… ]
[ Destiny reach based on rating and Mystic energy consumed: 160 years. ]
[ Duration of existence: 10 days unless saved. After 10 days, the manifested destiny being will revert to its Destiny Echo. ]
[ Choose the destiny out of the three possible ones. ]
1. Blacksteel Butcher Veron.
2. Veron, the Abyssal Reaper.
3. Veron, the Throne of Doomcleaver Titan. (Rare) (5 days).
'Hmm?' Vesh looked at the third option. 'Does that mean instead of 10, this version of Veron will last for 5 days only…unless I activate Unformed Memory to save this version.'
'Alright.'
Vesh had decided.
He chose the third option.
From his body, gentle golden strings burst out and shaped into a man.
From Vesh's core, the golden strings tightened, compressed, and then snapped outward, shaping rapidly—clean, precise, inevitable.
In seconds, a man stood where the light had gathered.
He was tall, armored from neck to toe in black, light-metal plates that fit together like forged ribs, each edge lined with thin crimson streaks and faint golden veins that pulsed softly beneath the surface. The armor looked both ceremonial and brutal—built for a king who fought on the front lines.
A curved, massive cleaver-blade rested across his shoulder, its edge dark-red, the spine etched with thin golden runes that flickered like restrained lightning. Every subtle shift of the blade gave the impression it weighed as much as a house, yet he held it effortlessly.
His hair—shoulder-length, black, slightly tousled—fell around a face carved with quiet authority, not cruelty. His eyes, a deep molten gold, lifted as the last thread faded.
He breathed once.
Then he bowed his head toward Vesh's hovering form.
"Master," he said, voice steady and resonant, "your Throne of Doomcleaver answers."
"Veron. You remember me?" Vesh asked.
Veron faintly smiled. "Of course, I do. We had an adventure of 160 years together, Master. I perished, but you resurrected me."
Vesh's eyes shook slightly. "I see…"
'This Veron has memories of an alternative destiny I forged.'
"My wife and daughter…" Veron blinked. "I miss them greatly. Will you resurrect them, too?"
"I will!" Vesh answered, his tone resolute. "I will bring them back."
Veron's golden eyes lit up. "Thank you, Master."
Vesh checked Veron's status.

'Tier-7 lifeform…' Vesh was dumbfounded as he looked at Veron's status.
'One-star equal to 1000 stat points, so Veron's sub-stats are quite powerful. Monstrous.'
Vesh clenched his fists. "Veron, it is time to change destinies."
"At your orders, Master."
Veron's presence was overwhelming, and his power even more so.
"What is the range of radar?" Vesh asked.
Veron penetrated his blade into the ground. "Without using any techniques, it's a 700-kilometer radius. But if I use Enchroching Darkness, I can connect shadows by spending my energy and cover a longer area in a specific direction or all directions."
"But a specific direction will get you longer." Vesh's eyes glinted. He pointed his finger in the direction of the Tronto Kingdom. "Search in this direction until you reach the capital. When you find it, can you teleport us there or get us there without anyone noticing, yes?"
"Absolutely, I can." Veron nodded. "Once I reach there, I'll shadow drift us. Teleporting from one shadow to another."
"Great. Do it."
Meanwhile, Vesh looked at his own status.
His form slots were empty. His attributes are gone. But he still had formless stat points, so all he needed was to acquire more forms and bind with other people to continue his journey. Now, he even had his Mystic Path.
