Return of the Runebound Professor 8 Quotes

“Something about this place set him on edge. It was the same feeling that came with walking through an abandoned graveyard in the middle of the night or snooping through his father’s office in search of the keys to his car.”
― Actus, Return of the Runebound Professor 8

“What motivates someone like this? He might have locked the worst of the trauma away… but it’s still there. It’s still part of his being. What could make someone so hated by the universe act so relatively normal? What keeps him sane?”
― Actus, Return of the Runebound Professor 8

“I might not be the strongest. I might not be the fastest or smartest or… well, anything. But I’ll be fucking damned if I lie here and do nothing.”

“There were many deaths that Jalen had absolutely no issue with. To be struck down in a glorious battle. To be crushed between more women than he could count. To spit in the eyes of the gods themselves and be smitten into the next realm. To get crushed by an inexplicable falling anvil in front of a group of orphans. If his death served some purpose—even if only a mildly amusing one—he’d have found no issue in it whatsoever. Existence was just too much of a hassle. But after all the bullshit he’d lived through, all the worthless fools groveling for his favor, all the years that had spun past as he’d waited for something to become interesting again… Jalen’s jaw clenched. Dying like this was a complete waste. It wasn’t just worthless. It was boring.”
― Actus, Return of the Runebound Professor 8

“Love was easy. But to love with a purpose, to continue on when just love wasn’t enough… that was hard.”
― Actus, Return of the Runebound Professor 8
