Have you ever killed someone?
No?
Me neither.
But I.. I've had my dreams and nightmares about it.
By dreams and nightmares I meant reality.
I was warned by one lying friend that I won't be able to win anything unless I'm ready to become a killer.
Again and again I saw it happen around me.
From revenge on a friend, to threats made because of craving of knowledge.
Once, twice, I had lost count.
Soon everyone stopped trusting each other.
I was left to listen to all their lies.
That friend was killed for being a spy for the wrong side.
I was warned by one secretive friend that if I don't learn to lie, I won't survive.
I could easily tell when someone lied.
Everyone thought I couldn't lie but how wrong were they?
Very!
That friend died through drug overdose in an experiment.
I was warned by one regretful teacher that if I could control my flame, i'll be able to control my fate.
They were wrong.
Mind games were what controlled everything now.
That teacher died when she turned 30 for keeping secrets.
I was warned by one ambitious friend that if I didn't study enough, i'd be killed.
At first, I thought that. But then I slapped life's face.
That friend died when he overused Ucchusma to protect his last piece of friend he had.
I was warned by one scared friend that if I wasn't cautious, I could take a wrong step.
Every game is played cautiously but you need to learn how to be fast.
That friend was crushed down for being slow.
I was warned by one caring friend that I should start to be kind to the world.
She was such an innocent flower. I believed her. Then she gave up on her studies.
When trouble showed, she couldn't do anything.
That friend died because her opponent had no mercy.
I was warned by a dangerous man, that life would kill me and torture my soul.
That man is dead. I now sit on his throne and wear his flamed crown.
He was king of hate. I'm the king of fate.
Anyone else that ever told me something were broken under my command.
Out of everyone, only two people survived this much, Me and my little brother.
He had told me to die.
He blamed me for a man's death.
He saw me as a fool.
He never caught on to me.
The way he died in the end?
Well, heh, in the beginning when I said I've never killed someone, I lied.
