"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?”

"…I'm certain you'll soon receive news that will bring you joy. Farewell for now!"


Timari waved toward Robin from behind the mirror, her smile radiant and full of warmth, almost as if it could light up the entire stark white world around her.


In response, whoosh—Robin waved firmly, decisively ending the connection without a single word in return.


Inside the boundless world of pure white, Timari remained standing alone after the connection had been severed. Slowly, almost imperceptibly, her expressions began to shift.


The genuine, carefree smile she usually wore had disappeared, replaced by something more thoughtful. Her long, graceful gestures no longer had a place in this quiet, sterile space. Her small eyebrows drew together in a tight knot as she rested her chin thoughtfully on her hand.
