I was patient. For years, I accepted being locked away. At least, I thought one day I’d be free, thought the outside world had to be better than the dungeon I grew up in. But I was wrong, about everything. It all started the moment I escaped. All I wanted was a normal life. But out there, every single moment reminded me of the truth. Normal life? Guess I was never meant to have one. I wasn’t even allowed to live. I had nothing. No power. No home. No place where I belonged. So I fought. I endured everything they threw at me. Yet... it was never enough. The longer I lasted, the stronger my enemies became. Until the moment my true power awakened. Something new, different, a power beyond anything this world understood. And I finally realized: If I didn’t belong anywhere, then I’d build my own place, with my own rules. I will carve out my own place in this world, and make it impossible for anyone to take it from me. And if the world refuses to accept me, then I'll become someone the world can never ignore. But honestly? That’s not my fault. They just realized too late… that they never should’ve provoked me.
