While receiving stares from everyone in the banquet hall, Carmen walked to the front of the crowd. She had just returned to the estate after a year spent in the rainforest together with Sienna, but her physical appearance as a whole hadn’t changed greatly from when Eugene had last seen her in the rainforest.
However, Eugene could sense a distinct depth of experience in her gaze that hadn’t been there a year ago. For humans, a year was already by no means a short span of time, but the year that Carmen had just spent must have felt dozens of times longer than that.
Eugene didn’t know for sure just how far out-of-sync her sense of time might have become, but what he did know was that Carmen had experienced something similar to what Gavid had gone through.

The most crucial factor was that Gavid was a demonfolk, and Carmen was only human. No matter how many times she had died during her training, it wouldn’t lead to an increase in her strength in reality, and even with the strength of Carmen’s willpower, this type of practice was too excessive for a human to endure for too long. If she was forced to repeatedly die hundreds of times, over and over again, even Carmen’s formidable will would col...
