The Margrave’s 10th-Class Ruffian

Synopsis

The Margrave’s 10th-Class Ruffian Chapter 33 has been released. Sixty years may have passed since that fateful day, but the ache within mage Ryker still lingered like an open wound – one he'd attempted to stitch shut by retreating deeper into time itself. It was said only madmen and those driven by desperation sought to alter the course of history, yet it seemed some wounds were too deep to ignore. With eyes sunken, skin etched with fatigue, Ryker emerged from the swirling portal, materializing once more on a familiar street corner – but the young apprentice beside him wasn't so certain this return would bring solace. For in truth, Ryker's quest hadn't been about altering the outcome of that singular event at all, but rather fleeing the crushing guilt of having lived through its aftermath. Having failed to prevent a disaster that left countless innocent lives shattered, Ryker had tried to escape his own memories for decades – until the ghost of his former self began whispering secrets that threatened to consume what little remained of his soul. The youth walking alongside him couldn't help but wonder if Ryker truly believed his presence here could fix the wreckage of a bygone era, or merely drown the despair brewing inside himself.
