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...

Thin Line Between Victory and Defeat

----

Until now, Deranged Spirit was a skill Kieran couldn't activate no matter what despite having received it at the time of his class promotion. Just recently, he had wondered about the criteria to trigger it and if he possessed the current means to do so. Naturally, with the current situation at hand, the answer was yes. Kieran did have the means to gain access to the skill, but it took circumstances he had yet to stumble across until now.

The first requirement of this skill was to have the madness of a True Berserker active in its highest form. In other words, Kieran needed Blood Mania and Tormented Beliefs to reach peak conditions to fulfill this prerequisite.

The second requirement of this skill was a revenge-clouded mind. In this regard, Kieran's desire to seek vengeance deepened the closer Rautori brought him to the brink of death. After all, this ordeal reminded him of the powerlessness he felt up to the moment of his original death.
