An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

"The offer from Sacred Wrym Summit sure is tempting." Dustin nodded in agreement.

Then, he suddenly said, "But I'm more interested in the person in front of me, so I'll have to apologize to you all."

They found it baffling. It was an opportunity that could change someone's fate. Opportunities like this didn't come knocking often, yet Dustin brushed it off like it was nothing.

They couldn't help but wonder if he had lost his mind.

"What's wrong with you, Dustin? Why would you turn down such a golden opportunity?" Miles asked, bewildered.

If it were him, he would be jumping for joy. But Dustin's refusal seemed to go against the natural order of things, leaving Miles scratching his head.
