Killian leaned back in his chair and let out a deep, exhausted sigh. Life… life was too hard. He just wanted to take it easy, enjoy a little, start a family and watch his kids grow old. Was that too much to ask for?
Actually, it wasn't. Since he was a peak Arcanist, it would not be hard for him to find a nice partner and settle down. Considering that he was a highly qualified Aether Engineer, with his work mainly related to setting up and maintaining cables through which aether can power cities and bases, he could also be considered quite wealthy.
It was rare for non-combat related careers to pay as highly as his did. Yes, he actually had all the necessary requirements to enjoy life. But he couldn't. He knew that such a life was a facade, and that he could die any time.
