I Am the Lord of the Wasteland, Serving All Worlds

"I never wanted to save this world. But after I did, I didn't really regret it, just as I never regretted joining the club back then. I made many friends here and formed all kinds of bonds. When someone has been lying in one place for too long, getting up and leaving again isn't so easy. They find all kinds of mossy bonds growing all over them, clinging so tightly that their soul and body are stuck to this place..." - Li Xiaoyu, Lord of the Wasteland

"I suddenly realized that in the three thousand years since I was reincarnated, I wasn't searching for you, or even for my former self.

For a little nobody like me, a hot meal when I'm hungry and someone to confide in when I'm hurting are enough to make life meaningful. Don't the gods, too, repeat the same dull routine day after day, just like the ants they silently watch?" - Li Xiaoyu, Mortal

"You envy me for becoming a sea fish and swimming freely through the ocean. But how could I not envy the snow-white wings on your shoulders?" - Li Xiaoyu, the Melancholy One
