"Immortality? That can be lonely. And in the end, everyone will die. It doesn’t matter what you do to escape it—sooner or later, all shall taste death. It is already written; it’s only a matter of when and how.
But glory… glory is the answer.
Glory will outlive flesh and bones.
Glory is what we should strive for, not immortality."

Robin Burton was a young man who grew up with everything anyone could ever hope for: immense talent in cultivation, a sharp mind, and a wealthy family that would stop at nothing to protect and nurture him. He had everything—except the will to make use of it.

"Why should I walk the same path as my ancestors? Why must I seek strength just to defeat one rival or compete with another? That is not what I was born for!"

“…Heh\~” Robin let out a long sigh. “Pursuing power was never my goal. I left my family and secluded myself to escape those pointless struggles for authority. I wanted to explore the universe, and to explore myself first… yet time and again, I was dragged into devastating wars. I wanted to benefit people with my knowledge and immortalize my name, yet worlds fell and hundreds of billions died because of me. Ironic, hah?”

One of the facility's doors was suddenly thrown open with considerable force, and Althera emerged hurriedly from behind it, beads of sweat visible on her as she moved with obvious tension and unease.


Without wasting even a moment, she quickly descended the stairs she hadn't seen for the past two months, moving with such speed that it almost seemed as though the ground itself were folding beneath her feet to shorten the distance, while her unfocused eyes revealed that most of her attention wasn't actually on the path ahead of her at all... her mind was completely occupied with something else.


"..?" Althera immediately stopped and turned toward the source of the sudden sound, only for her expression to change the moment she recognized the person there. "Why are you still here, Holak?!"
