Zenith Online: Rebirth of the Strongest Player

Death is sometimes not the end, and the zenith is empty. Legends rise and fall. Myths are born. Faced with death after a dismal fall from grace where glory, renown, and prominence were once found, Kieran's second chance is fueled by vengeance. It burns like a ruinous flame and drives Kieran's quest for power within and without. Though not an ingrate, he remains curious about why he returned to the past instead of dying. He has nothing but questions, but his death puts the beginning of his story into perspective, showing him that Zenith Online... is the beginning of the end — the end of the current Age. The zenith is empty and calls for someone to claim its throne, but to answer that call means to bear the consequences. Everything — especially choice — has a cost. Challenges lay in wait. The road to supremacy is wound in suffering, and to know the truth is to know madness. And so, the Maddened awakens...

Subtle Damage, Beacon of Light

Though Kieran killed several of the Chimeric and Deranged Homunculi with his previous use of Dread Culling, with the skill not triggering the culling cooldown reduction effect, he noticed that the rapid reactivation of the skill led to him discovering some in-depth intricacies about his skills.

For example, though the Dread Circlet appeared somewhat sentient by the way it immediately latched on to his attack, provided that it followed the guidelines of the skill, it wasn't.

Instead, there was some strange principle governing this skill. As he focused on this sensation, Kieran learned that the principle was linked to a desire. Not a desire that came from him, but a desire born directly from the Dread Culling's Source Rune.
