"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?”

"Alright, alright…" Robin slowly drew several glowing orbs from within his head, each one pulsing with a soft, rhythmic shine, then with a gentle flick of his wrist sent them drifting gracefully toward the fairy. "Here~ this is the last batch I received from the Truth Chamber tasks."


"Thank you for your hard and consistent work, Lord Human!" Timari accepted the orbs with visible delight, her wings fluttering with excitement. Each one of these solution-orbs was worth tens of millions of Pearls—an amount that could change the fate of lesser beings. "I'll deposit your earnings into your account immediately!"


"Oh? Aren't you going to wait for the specialized verification teams?" Robin asked with a rare, relaxed smile, teasing her lightly.
