The decision I need to make here is too obvious, of course I'm going to get rid of reaver. Everything happens for a reason and this is part of that.

Getting stronger has always been my goal so if I can't even absorb the other me, why am I trying to fight the Monarch's? So it was fun while it lasted with him.

Seriously! No! Wait!!!

I felt a strange sensation surge throughout my body as I heard the last of reavers screams go through my head. There was no longer any lingering feelings of the other me.

It was fully absorbed to give me full control over everything without having to talk to another version of myself. It felt kind of great to be done with it, just me alone.

I did it to make the strongest version of myself and I honestly think this will be better in the long run. Fighting against everything with no holding back, no other voice in my head, and just the ability to kill.

I'll be the one to decide when I'm done being this way but I don't think it'll be going away for quite a long time. People would probably say that I had some sort of personality disorder but there's nothing there now.

I've stomped it out permanently and said goodbye to reaver.

Everything around me seems to be shifting once again, almost like I passed a test that was given to me. I won't question it too much.

I just decided to continue walking down the open path as it keeps opening up more and more. The decision was made and now I can find my way out of this damn pit.

Xeno was an interesting being to meet too. I don't know when I'll see him again but at least I got some information out of him. Did I ever really find out my weakness here?

Seraphine mentioned that this was the place to find out my strengths and weaknesses, yet I don't think I found any weaknesses. Unless Reaver could be considered one of them.

That would make a lot more sense on why I felt the need to get rid of him.

Getting stronger means that I can make a sacrifice when the time arrives. This was the time to make a sacrifice to make myself even stronger than before.

This will make quite a bit difference down the road.

I finally could see another opening in the distance, a giant open field, full of a variety of flowers. Something that I have gotten so used to seeing in some of the nicer floors.

In the distance a door awaited me, but I think this was another opportunity for me to get some rest after a bunch of stressful events.

It is strange how I never heard that weird language again or felt it pass through my mind. Maybe it was just a fluke, something that didn't really matter all that much in the end.

Will I ever have to go back into that pit? There's quite a lot of questions for me to think about but I guess I've always had a lot of questions.

Ughhh. I'm feeling a bit annoyed that I have so many questions but no answers for any of them.

I have yet to find someone who can answer them.

Every chance I get to figure out a potential answer... It disappears or the person can't seem to give me anything useful.

Best to ignore it and setup camp for the night so I can get some rest. That's exactly what I went to do, setting up a small makeshift tent and bed for the night.

It didn't take me very long since I got used to doing it after awhile. It was nice and sunny out here which was a bit difference from when I first entered this floor.

Originally it felt like complete darkness engulfed me and I felt as if I was walking along some sort of sand. There was also nothing like this that I could see.

It really did feel like I had reached the edge of nowhere. There was really no other way of putting it since the abyss is not exactly the same as the beginning of this floor.

I've also come to understand more about the abyss as time has come to pass, that is something that I'm surprised to admit.

Reaver was part of the reason that I got more comfortable with it but that is all part of growing on the journey. I'll appreciate everything I did learn from him and everything that I learned from Rika.

Both have taught me enough to keep going on my own for as long as I need.

Surely I have to be close to clearing this tower for good. I've climbed so many damn floors that there should be no more floors for me to climb.

100 floors felt like a pretty understandable number for me to climb through so I figured that this would have to be the end by now. Yet, it feels like there's still so many more floors to get through.

I ran my hand through my hair as I took a seat on one of the makeshift chairs I made. The feeling of loneliness won't take long to consume me once again.

Traveling alone. All alone for real this time. No other me to talk to.

Smack. Smack. I smack my face lightly a few times before looking up at the sky.

I've killed people. I have become quite powerful throughout this journey, there's no reason for me to let such a dumb feeling get to me.

The feeling of being alone is stupid anyway so it is better to focus on the goals at hand. I'm doing a good job and I'm sure that time is flying by, it'll be over in no time.

A few hours of sitting around passed by and I did manage to eat something, surprisingly. It will hold me over for quite awhile, especially since I don't have much of an appetite here.

The peace and quiet was kind of a nice change for once. There were no monsters to worry about right now of people trying to kill me.

Just the sound of the wind passing me by as the sun slowly starts to go down in here, how peaceful. It is also about time that I get some sleep as well.

I stood up from the chair and made my way over to my bed, getting comfy for the night before drifting off to sleep.

The feeling of floating didn't seem to exist within the abyss anymore since I got a lot better with understanding this place. I found myself standing there, looking around the entirety of the abyss.

Nothing was really here, just me. Ahead I could see a throne awaiting me but was it really for me?

I made my way over to it, examining the throne itself to see if there was anything off about it. It just seemed like a normal throne for a king to sit at so I guess there's nothing to worry about.

No one else seems to be here to take the seat. I sat down on the throne and watched as everything around me begins to take shape.

All sorts of buildings started to form before me with shadows of people roaming throughout the streets. It was still dark in here but it felt as if everything was lit up before me.

After a few moments I could no longer see the streets, buildings, or shadows of people because a palace seems to have formed all around me.

Looking down at my arms I could see that the clothes from before had formed on me. The painting was starting to make more and more sense.

The abyss is a place that I'm capable of ruling over... Huh? That's something I never would have expected. People don't always get the opportunity to come to this place and I never really met anyone here before.

Rika, Seraphine, and Reaver are the only ones.

No one ever told me about this throne or that it was for me, so why is it that they never mentioned anything? This all seems like a big deal and I can feel even more power surging throughout my body.

"I'll never sit idle like this but it is nice." I mutter out loud without thinking.

It didn't really matter if I spoke out loud since no one is really around but it felt weird to be within a palace. In the real world we don't really have places like this around anymore, the era of castles, palaces, and villages are kind of gone.

I don't think we'll ever see something like that outside of the tower or even the abyss. But even within the tower I never saw something like this so I don't really know what to make of it.
