The Chess of Life (Diabolik Lovers)

by CatWarrior98

After being subjected to some gruesome events and, consequently, ending up scarred both physically and emotionally, Yui Komori grows tired of being left in the shadow and decides to escape from the Sakamakis and Mukamis. Her main goal: get as much information possible about her true origins to understand why she was left in such a precarious situation.

1. Prologue

"In every single thing you do, you're choosing a direction. Your life is a product of choices" (Dr. Kathleen Hall).

I could not define better the ways of life, how it works...is true what the quote says. The causes of our decisions are situations created by a web of choices made by those before, around, or at our side in life...but what you make of them is what will define what's the real important thing: your next move, your choice after that, which path you'll take. You can't avoid but ask yourself these questions: am I willing to suffer the consequences, can I HANDLE the consequences?

Every decision leads to a certain degree of suffering and ordeal, but both will be your choice if you're the one in command of your life. All that rests of it then is knowing how to deal with it, get wiser, get smarter, find some joy in it. To eat the fruit you want, you must work hard the land, you must take care of the seed you've planted for it to grow and then, when the tree is fully formed, after drinking from your sweat and tears, you'll be able to eat its fruit. What it'll taste like depends on how much you desire and crave it. Better sow something you want, or else, you'll never appreciate the taste, and you'll eventually starve to death in your hunger for life. This is my lesson for you: life is a beautiful yet dangerous and complex chess game. Victory or loss, it'll all depend on your choices, so choose carefully.
