What is a path?
Many label it as the true way of achieving greatness. Yet on the road toward greatness, some come to discover the truth—the cruelty of the world, its unfairness, and the silent manipulation born from mortal desire. Seeing this, they sympathize with the suffering, choosing to help others and embarking upon what they call the righteous path.
Others, upon seeing that same cruelty and unfairness, wish only to be special—to no longer be part of the suffering. This desire leads them to rebellion, to defying fate and Heaven alike, believing that separation from the masses is freedom.
But I am different.
I choose neither greatness defined by others, nor sympathy born of weakness. I do not seek escape through rebellion, nor do I cling to righteousness for validation.
To me, everything is governed by paths—fate, will, power, even suffering. All are bound, all are guided, all are limited.
So I will not walk a path laid before me.
I will forge my own.
Because while all things may be governed by paths, mine shall be eternal.
Eternal Ascension shall remain.
