Chapter 4 - CHAPTER 4 THE PATH TO MASTER

K continued, "The path to becoming a Master is like living in hell on Earth. It can shatter anyone. No matter how strong, smart, or influential you are. No matter how many friends or family you have. No matter how much emotional control you possess. This path can break everything. It can fracture your mind and make you question whether you were wrong from the very beginning. It forces you to ask why you can't go back, and why you're still alive—when even death starts to feel like mercy.Every single day you pray to forget everything. And that feeling never leaves. It eats you alive, second by second."Suddenly, A shouted in anger, "Shut up! Shut up!" He grabbed K by the collar. "I said shut up!"K smiled and looked straight into his eyes. "So you've become angry, A?"As if snapped out of a trance, A stepped back and stared at his own hands in confusion. "What just happened to me? Why did I get so angry? I'm sorry for my actions, K."K placed a hand on A's shoulder and glanced down at his wristwatch. "It's not your fault, A. These emotions can sometimes become overwhelming. Not everyone is capable of holding them back. So, A… should I continue, or do you want to quit?"A took a long, deep breath. "I'm ready. You can continue."K replied with a smile, "Then let's continue."They both sat down again."In short," K said, "the journey to becoming a Master is full of betrayal, false hopes, fake people, and the constant label that you are insane. This journey is not a walk through flowers—it is a walk through flames.A… are you ready to understand how a Master thinks?"A replied, "I am ready."Even though he said the words, A's hands were shaking and his face was filled with fear. - END OF CHAPTER 4 -
