Two days later…
Cillian sat cross-legged in his dormitory while outside the halls of Grimstone rang with noise. The other students were celebrating their graduation, music and cheers echoing through the courtyards. But Cillian was not interested thoughts were elsewhere, sunken into the Endless Abyss. He let his mind dive deep, inspecting the changes that had taken root in his divine world.
The Abyss had shifted greatly in a short time.
The first change came from the system's reward, the establishment of the Ring of the Seven Deadly Sins, and even Cillian had not expected the gift to be so potent.
The Endless Abyss transformed as the black and red vortex on its outer layer reshaped into seven massive rings. Each one burned with corruption, as it slowly circled.
Unlike the Ring of Virtue from the assessment world, these new rings were not a stabilizing core. They were not meant to protect, guide, or reinforce balance.
