The mental fortitude needed to handle that. I don't think I could, I'm an introvert and I'm fine staying mostly alone, but making a meaningful connection with someone and seeing them wither away would destroy me.It’s always bittersweet seeing everyone around him aging while he remains a constant.
He went in fully expecting to have to destroy them, and he most likely verified it with the true dragon during breaks in telling his tale. Thankfully this Alduin seems like a kind fellow and prefers to wait until his job is absolutely necessary to bother anybody.I wish this story put in more details as to why exactly those hermits are fine and not the others, and how he verified that it was true. Particularly since he seemed to dislike the dragon hermit a lot for some reason, on first meeting.
These are the first "true hermits" we've seen. True hermits can draw power directly from nature, and the dragon apparently radiates the same kind of energy. However, it requires an enormous amount of time and effort and talent for humans to learn how to harness this power and become true hermits, so some hermits take shortcuts and find ways to obtain power by stealing other people's lifeforce instead, turning into shamans, incubi, succubi, or vampires, as explained in chapter 17.I wish this story put in more details as to why exactly those hermits are fine and not the others, and how he verified that it was true.
"BTW, it's seven years later now."Man, this story is so good and so painful. It really shows us how little time matters to the protagonist as there’s always sudden long time skips where he’s just doing a routine of something and everyone around him ages heavily.
It’s always bittersweet seeing everyone around him aging while he remains a constant.
Can’t wait for next chapter.
It was more like he doesn't like how the hermits seemingly long-winding their intentions and stringing him along through maze of uncertainty instead of just asking him honestly and directly, added with his second-hand knowledge of hermits that took grim shortcuts to tap into immortality, made him a bit wary of them. Eh, meeting with Xuannu made it much less than it used to be though.I wish this story put in more details as to why exactly those hermits are fine and not the others, and how he verified that it was true. Particularly since he seemed to dislike the dragon hermit a lot for some reason, on first meeting.
With low budget and tons of supbar 3DCGI, of course.I hope this one gets an anime
