"Prologue Part 2: Annihilation"

~保護者~

"I promised to myself once, 'I will learn all the secrets of our destiny, and in doing so reclaim the Truths we once treasured.' But these days… these days I am forced to wonder if I am growing into a nihilist. It all, in many ways, seems so pointless. My actions lack the meaning they once held to even me.

These days, I don't do much except break things. Evil things, granted, but regardless. I break creatures, people, kingdoms, worlds, realms… when the need arises, I make them cease to be. But to die is to have existed, and they will forever remain in some way or another. Sometimes, it feels as though no true lasting good comes from my actions… even if they do save the lives of those I am supposed to yet care about.

The voices whisper, 'The only way to make something good, something undefeatable, is to make something that cannot be broken. The only way to achieve this is to break everything.'

They say that existence itself runs on Death. It may be yet another Lie but, in a way… it almost feels more beautiful to know."
