It was a pointless affair. Damon was certain of that. The system always had a tendency to give him an option.
But choice was an illusion. While the Unknown God seemed to despise fate and would strip it of its dignity every chance he got, that did not change the facts.
Falling into the plans of the Unknown God was also fate.
Even if it seemed like you had a choice, you would still be under the influence of a higher power that dictated or influenced the choices you made.
However, that was fine with Damon. At least for now.
At least in some way, he was choosing. It was his choice to say yes.
He could always choose no. Knowing those possibilities and options existed was more than enough for him.
Saying yes was a path to difficulty, but so was not making a choice. At least when he said yes, he was rewarded for his suffering.
Damon called that equivalent exchange. In a sense, it was a trade.
This was the reason he said yes.
The system chimed.
