A Future Without Destiny

Cardoso_746
In the vast and grand universe, beginnings and endings have always existed. Thrones symbolize power: kings and emperors rise, yet inevitably fall. There are no exceptions— all who hold power eventually succumb. Such is the fate of those who rule. While scientific and cosmological research seeks to explain the erosion of time and the workings of the universal temporal current, one question persists: is what we call “Destiny” merely chance… or something that truly exists? Is there a predetermined end for everything and everyone? Or is this idea born from human fragility, a desperate attempt to deceive ourselves with a future different from the one already conceived? Ryoumi was born into a Victorian-aesthetic world, where Renaissance minimalism blends with medieval style, layered atop an industrial revolution. In this setting, magical technology and science advance side by side, growing with each passing day. Driven by his family and inspired by his own dreams, Ryoumi is compelled to face hardship and work tirelessly to understand how the world truly functions. But what awaits him ahead? Amid rusted metal rails, transforming cities, and sparks of life that defy the inevitable, a final question arises: is Destiny an inescapable force on his path… or is there still room to change the course of the future?
