A week had passed since Nero had begun his hunt in earnest.
In that time, he had killed fifty-two Abominations and gained their Seals of Sin.
***
Seals of Sin: (80/1000).

His total now sat at eighty Seals out of a thousand. He was just a few steps away from his goal.
Thinking about it made him feel a faint sense of trepidation and... relief?
He was finally going to continue on with his journey, as dangerous and terrifying as it was, it meant he was making progress.
During this time, he had also expanded his hunting grounds. No longer did he remain at the very fringe of the Purple Evergrowth forest. Instead, he had begun venturing deeper, though still within the outer edges where the violet canopy was thinner and the dangers more manageable.
Each night, he returned to the cave.
And each morning, he ventured out again.
It had become his routine. A cycle of blood and death he slowly grew accustomed to.
