Being able to endure is a trait that appreciates over time, but perseverance is an essential trait, seen in Shinzol’s Power Principles.
Perhaps the time to switch over to a waifu form is nigh…
I miss toast. Perhaps I will wake up early to eat it, tomorrow.
I haven’t had it in so long that I worry that I am no longer even the same person, which was always something up for debate.
The move went well. Too well, perhaps, but it ultimately worked out for the best- like Harry Potter, why wait for the Trace to disappear before moving him from Privet Drive? I owe my 1st disciple much, and will reward him handsomely, in due time. That’s the thing, isn’t it? Enduring, persisting, and surviving, over time the benefits of being steadfast are undeniable/irrefutable. In this, I suppose I am still learning true mastery… But that’s the real question- should life have expiry dates? And by that, should we not maximise efficiency and output by planning our life in stages, and if we did so with much detail and accuracy, is there then any need to be a person and not an NPC? I am quite certain that I am so real, everyone else is less so in comparison, and that makes me ironically unreal. Oh, and others have helped in the move, so I will remunerate them as well- not as much as my 1st Disciple, but it is a good chance to karmically resolve sections of the past.
In a month, I will be in a firm position, and yet, I still think that I could simply go back to a harder, simpler life of toiling in the mines, and pay off debts quickly. Then again, I calculate that in the long run, I would be losing a greater opportunity to serve, and improve myself in the process. In fact, this whole process has already determined who I am, and who I could be, but the choice was always mine, was it not? I wonder if the last 12 years were what I really wanted: the first 12 were sinisterly innocent, the next 12 were depressingly arduous, and these last 12 have been the most transformative. If anything, that means that my next 12 should be something along the lines of peaceful- I enjoy the idea of my life divided in 12 year Zodiac arcs, and by 48, I could be… what do I want to be at 48? I am already a Max level character, in a manner of speaking, able to envision eternity. Will I need to start over? Perhaps if all else fails, I will leave a substantial mark on the world, to demonstrate my philosophy.
I haven’t tried hedonism yet, but it wouldn’t suit me very well, I imagine.
Say, the Villain Zodiac has nearly resolved, as I only have Scorpio and Ogata Kensei left. The timing for both could not be better, as I have the holiday season as well as the stand down period to work with.
How exciting!
