A multitude of grateful eyes, filled with a touch of solemnity, fell upon Aiden.
He didn't speak. Everyone around him remained in absolute silence.
Aiden couldn't describe his current emotions. This was the first time he had experienced such a situation, and he had witnessed the cruelty of war firsthand.
Of the tens of thousands of survivors in The White City, only half had made it through.
Mayor Randy, Lucien from the The White City Reclasser Association, and Leo from the Warrior God Guild exchanged silent glances. They were concerned about Aiden's current Spirit state.
Even they, who had seen their share of hardships, were now in a state of shock. After all, such a brutal war could shatter a person's will.
But Aiden was different. He was so young, had just awakened not long ago, yet he had led the survivors of The White City to survive.
In the history of the Empire, only The White City had achieved an astonishing survival rate after falling into the Abyss.
