CH277 Win – Loss Cycle of Life
***
Life was a cycle. You win some, you lose some.
Alex was all too familiar with this principle, and he knew how to accept and make the most of it.
He took the wins and made the most of the progress he gained from them. As for the losses—well, he accepted them, endured the sting, and pushed forward nonetheless.
Progress meant moving forward, no matter the obstacles.
Case in point: #Omega_Parasite.
The Contingency Plan designed to cripple the Kellerman family in the unlikely event of defeat. Yet, because of the fateful intervention of a mysterious Legend, that desperate plan—meant only for the worst-case scenario—had been triggered anyway, costing the Kellermans one of their lifelines.
And in the process, granting Alex a bank vault's worth of Mana, all waiting to be converted into Spatial Energy.
That was the win.
But, as always, the cycle demanded balance.
