After a long conversation with the High Priest of the Goddess's temple, I finally reached the same conclusion.
Nix did not exist in this world.
Neither the gods, nor fate, nor even that hatred I had nurtured for so long seemed to have a place to rest anymore. The desire for revenge that had kept me alive throughout countless years was slowly crumbling, like sand between my fingers. So... what was the point of all this?
"I didn't understand anything."
An oppressive vacuum settled in my chest—heavy, suffocating, as if someone had torn out the very root of the only reason I had left to keep moving forward.
I thought I was prepared for this.
I thought that, when the moment came, I could accept it calmly.
But now that I was facing this situation head-on, the reality was quite different.
It was disconcerting.
"Haa...h"
After some time, I returned to the mansion.
