The Era of the Soul-Hardening Ones

Those who sharpen their souls are not the chosen ones, but the fuel of the world and the prisoners of reincarnation. We are thrown into the furnace of this other world, tempering our souls with pain, and lighting the way forward with ourselves. The rational person calculates the chance of survival, the guardian bears the sacrifice, and the hopeful person sinks into the past. And I will lift the curtain: the so-called gift is tempering; the so-called firewood is a lie. All this is just to forge us into... The last key to open the cage. Those who collapse turn into ashes, but those who temper their immortal will in despair can become the true soul-hardeners.
