Seven years sunk in the abyss, half a lifetime lost to obsession.
I once thought that youthful conviction could conquer the world, and loyalty could withstand every storm.
In the end, it was nothing but a grand dream. I woke with a lifetime of hardship weighing on me.
Years behind high walls wore away the sharpness of youth.
Only after day and night of reflection did I understand what it meant to be clear-eyed and honest.
In 2026, I returned to the world of the living. The sunlight was blinding, and the past was forgotten.
This time, I seek no hollow fame and feel no longing for old haunts.
I only hope to pick up my dignity amid the ruins and live a good life.
I write of the struggles of ordinary people and lay bare the truth and falsehood in their hearts.
This is no legend, just the story of an ordinary person
who found his way back from being lost and began living again.
