When Kieran spawned, he was in a tavern that was trying to close for the night. He left the bar, and was shocked to see wanted posters with Herbert’s face on them; he realized that Herbert would have hidden himself somewhere secure enough that even Kieran would have a hard time finding him. Kieran chose not to ask the bartenders for information, and went to buy a newspaper instead, when he was stopped by police officers who recognized him. The officers asked Kieran to go inside a carriage that was surrounded by bodyguards, where Harold’s, one of Herbert’s students, father, Lander, was waiting. Lander explained that since the gold rush incident in [Ancient City Foreign Matters], Herbert was blamed for the slaughter of all the gold miners, and the three students never returned. Kieran realized that for Herbert to be blamed for the slaughter, it implied that the Night Race had infiltrated the government and society of Herl City. Kieran remembered that Night Monsters could disguise themselves as humans, and would revert to their true form when injured, so Kieran grabbed Lander’s arm and squeezed tightly, causing a bruise to form; Lander remained human, and Kieran apologized, explaining he had to be vigilant. Kieran was about to start explaining what happened to Lander, but he heard someone approaching the carriage, and realized it was one of the bodyguards; Kieran theorized that the bodyguard was a Night Monster, and changed what he was about to say. Kieran lied, casually saying he knew where Herbert and Harold were, and that they were injured, but safe, and Kieran was getting medicine for them.

They started driving the wagon to return to Lander’s home, and Kieran theorized that Herbert might not even be in Herl City, since even Lander’s wealth and connections were unable to find him. Inside Lander’s mansion, Kieran saw all the attendants and wondered how many of them were Night Monsters; one attendant led Kieran to his room, but when they stepped on a staircase, a back toxic mist seeped from a door, killing all the attendants who inhaled it. A small figure exited from the door and attacked Kieran, which was then killed with a single kick. It was a small monkey-like creature with an ugly appearance and it was exuding a horrible stench. Lander’s doctor was summoned to revive everyone who had passed out from the stench, and during the commotion, Kieran stepped on the finger of the eavesdropping bodyguard, confirming he was not a Night Monster. As Kieran followed Lander up to his study, Kieran thought about who all might be looking for Herbert; since the eavesdropper was human, and someone sent a monster to kill Kieran, that implied there were at least two groups competing with each other to discover Herbert first. In the study, Lander asked Kieran about his son Harold’s location, but since Kieran did not actually know where they were, he just claimed he had promised Herbert not to tell anyone, and kept quiet.

Kieran and lander went back into a carriage and were driving to Herbert’s burned down house. Lander was angry, since he had his own men search the ruins several times and never found anything, but Kieran pushed Lander away as an arrow hit the ground where Lander was standing. Kieran had Lander go back to his bodyguards, while he faced the attackers; it was a group of Night Monsters, who were carrying a coffin. The lid of the coffin opened by itself, revealing the mutilated body of Bartos, the Night Race leader, and they all watched as he came back to life. Kieran realized Bartos was after the information on the stone tablet that Herbert blew up after reading. Bartos revealed a wooden plate that summoned an Eye of Chimeras, which caused a backlash in the [Fusion Heart]; the Creature of Desire was rejecting the Eye of Chimeras, but Kieran resisted the desire to kill the Eye with his strong Spirit. Kieran examined the wooden plate, and Bartos fully believed that the plate had bewitched Kieran similarly to how the rainbow crystal had taken control of Kieran’s mind in [Ancient City Foreign Matters], and was about to order his men to kill Kieran while he was defenseless. Before he could give the order though, Kieran kicked Bartos, and used [Arrogant Word] to hammer his body into the ground before shattering his skull, preventing him from resurrecting again. Kieran used [Dead-man’s Gaze] on the other Night Monsters before they could retreat, killing them. All the mercenaries and bounty hunters that were hidden in the shadows, watching the fight, revealed themselves and started begging for their lives, fearing that Kieran would kill them as easily as he had killed the small army of Night Monsters.

Kieran realized he had an opportunity to expose the truth about the Night Race, and explained to the mercenaries what a Night Creature was, and how to identify them; Kieran and Lander then returned to their wagon. Lander immediately confronted Kieran, having realized that Kieran did not know where Harold was. Kieran explained that he wanted to spread news of the Night Race, and Lander offered to use his connections to help spread the news, before asking Kieran about the bodyguard, Pelby, that Kieran thought was suspicious. They let Pelby onto the wagon, and Kieran used [Mesly Ring] to dominate him, and Pelby immediately started explaining how someone named Bocker was blackmailing him into pretending to be Lander’s bodyguard. Pelby told Kieran Bocker’s address, and that night Kieran arrived at the building to see it on fire. Kieran watched citizens struggle to knock down the walls of the building to isolate the fire, and wondered if there was a secret room. He went into the burning building and easily found a hidden passage which led to a room that the fire originated from that had two burnt bodies in it. Kieran wondered who the bodies might be, why they were unable to escape, and how the fire started. Kieran noticed a finger on one of the corpses was straightened, and he went to leave the room pretending he hadn’t seen it; as he was walking up the hidden passage, Kieran was attacked by the flames that had formed into the shape of a man.

Kieran attacked the fire with [Arrogant Word], but it had no effect on the fire since it didn’t have a real body. He stalled the man with [Myriad Viper], then froze the room, extinguishing the flames with [Chilling Touch]; Kieran then kicked the frozen man, shattering him into pieces. Kieran quickly left the still burning building, and returned to Lander’s mansion. After eating dinner, Kieran looked at the loot he had gotten; [The Fallen’s Eye], [Clamp of Fire] (Ch 409).

The next morning, Kieran met Roshen, the new chief officer after Calkin had died in [Ancient City Foreign Matters]. Roshen started by saying his men had found the secret room underneath the burnt building that Kieran had frozen, and said that witnesses had seen Kieran going in and out of the building while it was burning. He left that topic quickly, and revealed that last night, all of the Night Race imposters who had infiltrated the government and society were killed, including the mayor and police director. He then asked Kieran if there were any monsters other than the Night Race out there, and asked for help on a case;

[Discovered sub-mission: Tracking]

[Tracking: Monsters other than the Night have struck again. They come and go without a trace, causing the new chief officer, Roshen, to have his hands tied! The chief officer requested you aid in helping them, hoping that you can find the traces of the killer! This is not a difficult mission, but it is a chance to turn the tide around in the current situation!] (Ch 410)

Kieran felt the sub mission would be a great way to learn more about the other races, and to improve his relationship with the police chief as he agreed to help Roshen. They got into Roshen’s wagon, and went to the mayor’s office, which surprised Kieran at how clean it was except for the green goo at the desk. Using [Tracking] Kieran realized whoever killed the Night Monster that was impersonating the mayor had to be very skilled, as there was absolutely no resistance, and the mayor wouldn’t have even realized he was being attacked. Kieran smelled an incense in the room and the tea on the mayor’s desk, conforming that both had numbing medications in them. Kieran and Roshen went to the homes of the other high ranking people that turned out to be Night Monsters, only to find that all of them had been drugged with the medicine and killed with one hit. Kieran told Roshen his criteria of the suspect, promising Roshen that he would help take care of them once Roshen found them, and they parted ways. Before they got very far, a cannon was fired, killing a whole wagon full of Roshen’s officers and a large group of nearby citizens. Kieran carried Roshen to safety, but Roshen quickly shot at the person who fired the cannon, only to see the bullet bounce off of his skin.

Kieran recognized this person as their target, and Roshen rallied his surviving officers as Kieran kicked the suspect. After the kick, Kieran was able to see the suspect’s true body, and saw a green scaled Gorilla that looked similar to the black money that attacked Kieran in Lander’s mansion. Kieran watched the Gorilla heal its wounds at a fast rate, and also noted that it did not have the intelligence to communicate with words before killing it with another kick. Kieran grabbed the [Heavy Cannon] before regrouping with Roshen who had captured a Night Monster. Kieran watched as Roshen tortured the Night Monster, venting the anger of the deaths of his men, only bothering to stop Roshen when Kieran thought he might kill the Night Monster. Roshen calmed himself then revealed to Kieran that he knew where Herbert was, and Kieran completed the sub mission.

Kieran and Roshen rode a wagon to a prison just outside of Herl City where Herbert was held and easily entered the prison. Kieran found Herbert, who had fabricated a crime and admitted himself into the prison under a fake name, and Kieran was relieved to see him in great shape and well treated. Herbert was thrilled to see Kieran, and Roshen freed Herbert from his cell. Kieran and Herbert confirmed each other’s identities, and they boarded the wagon. Kieran told Herbert everything that had happened recently, and signaled to Herbert that Roshen was unreliable. Roshen was about to ask for Kieran’s help in fully eliminating all of the monsters within Herl City, when Herbert interrupted and told him that Roshen would need thousands of fully armed men to accomplish that goal. They arrived at Lander’s house, and Herbert started talking to Kieran when they were finally alone.

Kieran asked Herbert about the Philosopher’s Tablet, the stone tablet Herbert read and destroyed in Isogu City, and Herbert revealed what was written on it; the immortal ancient king of the Neegor Dynasty had created both the Night Race and the Ape creatures, but they were failed creations. The perfected creations were guarding the King, which the Tablet also said where the King was sealed, and how to get to it. Herbert explained the King was not defeated, but forced himself to slumber after failing an experiment; the successful creations are to wake up the King when the time is right, which happened to be during this period of time. Herbert also mentioned that the Eye of Chimeras was a gift given to the King by a witch, but knew very little else about it. Kieran thought about the strength of the Guardians of Isogu City as Lander barged into the room, carrying accessories of Herbert, Harold, Joanna, and Pierre. Kieran asked Lander who gave those to him, and Lander led Kieran and Herbert to the living room. There, a man who introduced himself as Barso waited. Harold demanded to know what Barso did to his students, and Barso gleefully explained how he tortured each of them individually, though they were all still alive. Barso then asked Herbert for the information that was written on the Tablet, making sure to stress that if Herbert did not comply, the students and Pierre would be tortured again. Barso looked at Kieran, and did not like Kieran’s indifferent face; he taunted Kieran, causing Kieran to attack him. Kieran tortured the location of the students from Barso, and they got into a wagon.

Kieran, Herbert, and Barso rode to Charlie Street where a giant pine tree stood; Herbert left the wagon and approached the tree as Kieran watched from inside the carriage. Barso saw Kieran looking around vigilantly, and explained that he was of the successful race the King created, called Mutants. He mentioned the Night Race leader Bartos, and said someone named Edgar was capable of forging replicas, which interested Kieran as he had found many items that the game system said were a “replica of a great item”. Kieran did not continue the conversation, as he heard a subtle sound of explosives within the carriage he was in. Kieran decisively killed Barso with a single kick, then jumped off of the wagon just before it exploded.

As Kieran hit the ground, the giant tree came to life, and vines erupted from the ground grabbing Kieran; while he was bound, the ent smashed into Kieran with its powerful branches. Herbert could not see what happened due to the dust in the air, but he was confident in Kieran’s survival as he was captured and tied up by the mutants. The mutants shoved Herbert into a wagon with Pierre and the students who were in bad shape and unconscious from the pain; Herbert hurt his abdomen while being shoved. Kieran then arrived, using [Arrogant Word] to slice the mutants in half. Other mutants started firing arrows at the wagon, and Kieran hid Herbert inside the wagon to protect him from the arrows, but the wagon’s horses died in the fire.

[Discovered submission: Escaping threats!]

[Escaping threats: The setup from the Mutants forced you and the group into a difficult position. You need to break through this difficult situation!]

[Note: Ratings will increase based on how many natives you successfully rescue!] (Ch 418)

Kieran jumped out of the wagon and began charging at the mutants and the ent, but before they could fight, Benz, the Mutant leader, ordered everyone to stand down. Benz started fighting Kieran with ice and frost when Kieran did not submit to him, and Kieran fought back with [Burning Hand]. The difference in temperatures between Kieran and Benz’s attacks caused a tornado, which caused all of the mutants and the ent to retreat.

A third party was watching the fight, and summoned a shroud of darkness that covered the battlefield as Kieran and Benz started attacking each other again. Both Benz and Kieran were unaffected by the darkness, and Kieran killed the third person before they could even realize that their darkness had no effect. Both Benz and Kieran got serious then; Benz started freezing the entire Street, killing all of his men that were unable to retreat in time, while Kieran started his [Devil Transformation]. Kieran used [Flame Blast] and broke through all of Benz’s ice barriers. Kieran kept using [Flame Blast] to weaken Benz as he kept vaporizing himself into mist to dodge the attacks, until Benz fused himself into the ent. Benz threw a frozen punch at Devil Kieran, and Kieran responded by charging towards the punch that was powerful enough to freeze over the entire street; Kieran’s conviction of his victory awoke a part of the [Fusion Heart], also waking up the Lion and Mardos who resonated with the Heart. Kieran burst into flames, and shot like a comet toward Benz, shattering the frozen punch and causing the ent to explode. Benz tried vaporizing himself again to escape, but the flames burned his misty form, killing him. Kieran got the [Ghastly Sapphire] and the [Darkness Grave].

Kieran, finished fighting, turned back into his human form and regrouped with Herbert who was safely out of the way of the battle. Herbert asked Kieran if he was a Noble, which he continued to believe even after Kieran denied being related to the mutants. Kieran was about to start guiding them back to Lander’s mansion, when Contly, a guardian of Isogu City from [Ancient City Foreign Matters] appeared. She asked to speak with Kieran, but he told her she would have to wait until Pierre and the students were taken care of. She left, and Roshen arrived with his men. Roshen was intimidated when he saw the ruins of Charlie Street, and remembered when Herbert told him he would need thousands of men to fight the monsters in Herl City. Roshen called for more wagons for Kieran, and Kieran, Herbert, Pierre, and the students were transported to Lander’s mansion. Lander thanked Kieran and Herbert for saving his son.

[Sub mission: Escaping threats (Complete)]

[All related personnel was saved, Perfect rating!] (Ch 422)

Kieran thought of the great items that Edgar could make replicas of, and remembered Contly; he asked Herbert what he thought of her and he said he knew little about the guardians of Isogu  City, and did not fully trust her. Contly said she would find Kieran later, so Kieran waited for her, but after two weeks she never reappeared. As he waited, everyone healed from their injuries, and Kieran studied with Herbert. Kieran wanted to learn more about the Eye of Chimeras, but he was unable to find anything useful. He could tell that the demonic energy in the [Fusion Heart] was circulating through his body differently than before, similarly to how [Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Art] is constantly circulating his body. [Charles’s Fire] suddenly activated, and Kieran realized that it gained the [Uncontrollable Lineage Fire II] special effect after the devils part of the [Fusion Heart] had it’s transformation during the battle with Benz. Kieran left the room where Herbert was studying in, and Cohen and Harold followed him; they asked for Kieran’s help in reasoning with Joanna, who had been facially disfigured from the torture, and was isolating herself.

[Discovered sub mission: Persuasion!]

[Persuasion: Joanna’s condition is worrisome to everyone. If you can lift Joanna’s spirit up, everyone will be grateful!] (Ch 424)

Kieran was shocked that Joanna’s matter would trigger a sub mission, but agreed to talk to her. He went to her bedroom and knocked, but was given no response even after telling her it was him. Kieran stopped and listened, and got nervous; he used [Deceiver's Key] to unlock her door, and he quickly got her down when he saw her hanging from a makeshift noose. She was still alive, but unconscious; he put her on her bed, and waited for her to regain consciousness. She woke up, and buried her face into her bedsheets, not saying anything. Kieran sat for a while, trying to think of what to say, before deciding to harshly tell her she should be prepared before dying. She threw a pillow at him and yelled at him to leave, but Kieran continued, coldly saying she should at least be considerate of Harold and not die inside of his house; he suggested she find somewhere isolated, where her body wouldn’t be found until she had long since started rotting. She begged him to stop talking, and Kieran got softer, reminding her that Cohen and Harold care about her; he then grabbed a bowl of porridge, reheating it with [Charles’s Fire]. As he gave the porridge to Joanna, he lost control of the flames and was unable to put them out; he said some parting words to Joanna, before leaving her room and forcibly taking control of his fire again, putting it out.

Kieran left to test his new theory about how to control the devil’s power as the [Persuasion!] sub mission was completed. Kieran spent the next few days practicing his control over [Charles’s Fire], until he figured it out. Kieran then shot a fireball at an infiltrator, who started running away. The infiltrator ran to a hotel called Old Stallion, where he told his partner that he thought Kieran was a high ranking Noble, and showed his burnt jacket as proof, saying only a Noble could control fire. The two men went to leave their room to hide and change their plans, when Kieran entered the room and knocked both of them out; he did not want to leave Herbert for too long, so he quickly carried both of them back to Lander’s mansion. In the living room of the mansion, everyone was waiting. The bloated man from [Ancient City Foerign matters], Becker, was guarding Herbert while Kieran ordered Pelby, Lander’s brainwashed bodyguard, to tie up the two men.

That night, a convoy of carriage left Herl City; Joanna’s parents and Lander were talking about Kieran, as Kieran was in his own wagon with the two mutant captives; Rien and Sven. Kieran brainwashed Sven with [Mesly Ring], asking him many questions while Rien could only regret getting involved with Kieran; Rien believed Kieran was directly related to the King. When the cooldown for [Mesly Ring] reset, Kieran brainwashed Rien also and started asking him about Contly. Rien explained that Edgar and a Mutant named Mozorc formed an alliance and were controlling Contly.

The convoy continued traveling, when Pelby told Kieran that Contly had arrived and was requesting to talk to Kieran. She explained that the Night Race and the Mutants had formed an alliance, and she had been trying to remain neutral. Kieran, realizing she was being controlled, said he would send some men to investigate. Kieran sent Pelby and some other men to look at the path they had just come from; he quickly returned, saying there was an army closing on them. Kieran ordered the convoy to continue moving as quickly as they could, while Kieran and Herbert stayed to face the army. Cohen, Harold, and Joanna protested, but were forced back into the convoy by their parents and guards. Before the convoy left, Joanna told Kieran not to die.

The army charged toward Kieran, who stood firmly and slashed with [Arrogant Word], killing hundreds of Mutants and Night Creatures before they switched to using a gun, then drawing swords when their bullets couldn't break [Primus Scale]. Kieran felt the soldiers were acting oddly when the blood pooling on the ground turned into a mist, shrouding the battlefield. Mozorc the Mutant and Edgar the Night Creature were watching from a crystal ball; Mozorc had Edgar take control of Contly and use her to capture Herbert, and they watched as Sven and Rien fought Contly. Mozorc remembered the rumors that Kieran was a high ranking Mutant, and looked back to Kieran’s fight, only to see the crystal ball break from the pressure of the Devil’s energy that Kieran was releasing. Angered by Sven and Rien’s betrayal and the realization that he had underestimated Kieran, Mozorc left to fight Kieran.

At the battlefield, Kieran passed the authentications caused from the blood mist, but all of the surviving soldiers were unable to pass it; they started dissolving where they stood. Deeper in the mist, Kieran saw a mass of eyeballs starting to form, each eye initiating a spirit authentication that Kieran passed easily. He recognized the mass of eyeballs as an Evil Eye, something similar to the Creature of Desire, but the appearance of the Evil Eye told Kieran he knew much less about the Eye of Chimeras and Creature of Desire than he previously thought. A tall pillar full of eyes then formed, and shot lasers at Kieran who dodged as he ran closer to the pillar; when he got close enough, the pillar toppled itself intending to crush Kieran under its body. Kieran caught the tip of the pillar, preventing him from being crushed, and used [Reckless Rush] to kill all of the eyeballs that detached from the pillar.

The Eye of Chimeras within [Fusion Heart] started reacting to the Evil Eye, and seven Kierans formed, each bearing the energy of a different Sin. Kieran realized he couldn’t fight or deny the energies within his heart, and offered to cooperate with the Sin Kierans. One by one, Kieran started releasing the shackles on each of the sins, carefully watching how each of them reacted; he released each of them except for Pride, who Kieran felt was most like himself. Kieran then went [Undercover] as Mozorc arrived with a five headed hydra that ate each of the sins. Mozorc revealed that he was not trying to protect and awaken the King, but rather usurp him. Mozorc’s hydra heads, who had eaten the Sins, started devouring each other when they were driven mad by their own desire. Due to its weakened state from attacking himself, Kieran was able to easily cut off Mozorc’s heads, freeing the sins from his body. Kieran gave his sins permission to gather all the loot on the battlefield as Pride glared at Kieran. Kieran leveled up the [Fusion Heart, gaining the [Touch of Cardinal Sins] Special Effect in exchange for all the loot the sins devoured. Kieran got the [Ring of the Serpent King] from Mozorc and the sins disappeared.

Kieran left for the rendezvous point where Herbert was waiting. Herbert was watching Contly, who had been knocked out by Rien and Sven, when suddenly Edgar appeared before Herbert. Herbert looked for Sven and Rien for protection, but realized he was surrounded by mutants and Night Creatures. Herbert worried about Kieran, then realized after Edgar spoke that he could read minds; Edgar praised Herbert for figuring out his ability so quickly, and revealed that he was a Royal of the Neegor Dynasty. Edgar then used a power that visually looked similar to the Creature of Desire’s rainbow, and he asked Herbert about the information on the stone tablet. Herbert was about to comply, unable to resist Edgar’s power, when a golden light shone from underneath his shirt, and allowed him to regain his senses. As Edgar investigated the light, Kieran shot at Edgar to draw his attention, then threw a flash bang at him; while Edgar was blinded, Kieran used [Serpent Spirit] and rescued Herbert. Edgar used his power to take control of his Mutant army, and had them attack the two headed hydra Kieran summoned; Kieran then used [Reckless Rush] to slaughter the Mutants and Night Creatures. Something happened within the [Wild Soul] belt, and the mirage of the Rhino appeared; it looked at [Lionheart] and [Mardos Arm] before returning into its belt. Kieran continued charging through the army of mutants, slashing with [Arrogant Word], until he reached the summoned Serpent; Kieran jumped onto it’s head, and the serpent jumped into the air when Kieran used [Death Crystal Staff, Death Miasma] and threw some grenades into the battlefield.

Most of the army was killed, and Edgar summoned a Creature of Desire using his powers, though it looked more mechanical. Edgar explained that although Bartos “destroyed” the Eye of Chimeras, he had recreated a replica of it that had all of the same powers though it did not compare in strength. Edgar also claimed that he could not read Kieran’s mind, meaning Kieran shared the same bloodline as the King, and he mentioned a legacy of the bloodline. Edgar lamented the destruction of the Eye of Chimeras, wishing he could see two Creatures of Desire fight, and Kieran obliged, summoning his Creature of Desire. Kieran’s Creature easily started devouring Edgar’s mechanical Creature, and Edgar could not believe how Kieran was able to summon a true Creature of Desire when the Eye of Chimeras had been destroyed. Edgar then came to the conclusion that Kieran had “burned” his Royal bloodline to strengthen his Creature of Desire, meaning Kieran couldn’t contest for the bloodline lineage since his Royal bloodline was no longer pure. Edgar got excited, planning to have his mechanical Creature devour Kieran’s Creature in order to raise his Creature’s rank; he pulled out several great items, one of them containing many old vengeful spirits that he was going to feed to his mechanical Creature to increase its strength.

Kieran allowed Edgar’s mechanical Creature of Desire to feast on the vengeful spirits that Edgar was releasing from the great item, before having his own Creature of Desire start devouring the remaining spirits. Kieran then used [Shadow Cloak] to shroud himself in darkness, and Edgar used an item to shroud Kieran in a larger radius of darkness. Edgar went back to releasing vengeful spirits, and Kieran escaped the darkness and snuck up on Edgar. Kieran released a clone to attack Edgar first, then followed up with [Arrogant Word] while Edgar killed the clone. Kieran was unable to touch Edgar because of the great items that acted as a very sturdy shield, and shot fire that even Kieran wouldn’t let touch him. Edgar then used the shroud of Darkness on himself, concealing his presence, and he attacked Kieran’s Creature of Desire with a shockwave, severely injuring it. The shockwave created a bright light that shone through the shroud of darkness, revealing the Kieran Sins that Kieran had summoned and hid within the darkness. Edgar panicked at the realization that Kieran’s Creature of Desire truly was born from the real Eye of Chimeras, and Kieran shot a web from [Mardos Arm] at Edgar’s three great items, pulling them to Kieran. Mardos the Hell Fiend Spider left the wristband and crawled on the spiderweb that strung up the three great items, while Kieran used [Freezing Touch] on Edgar, freezing him solid, and crushing him into pieces. Kieran could only watch as Mardos devoured the three great items and returned to his wristband. Kieran mourned the loss of the three great items less when he was [Mardos Arm] and gained a new effect and leveled up its attributes.

With Edgar’s death, the mechanical Creature of Desire lost its purpose and floated aimlessly. Kieran had his still heavily injured Creature of Desire start devouring the mechanical Creature, then disappeared when the summoning time ended. When the Creature of Desire returned to the [Fusion Heart], Kieran could feel it was stronger, but the game system gave no indication of a level up or upgrade.
