After finishing A Thousand Stars, Tier was stabbed straight through the heart by its ending. He exploded on the spot and stormed over to MHY: “What else can you do besides make us cry? Would it kill you to give us something sweet for once?” Even after venting, he was still furious with nowhere to direct his anger. He opened the game he’d bought for 75% off on Steam and swore a solemn oath: either he beat it, or he died trying.
In the end, he really did die suddenly.
…
The moment the invitation letter named “Fate” seared into his palm like a branding iron, he smiled.
The gods had set their pieces on the board, and even scraping by was a luxury. But he was determined to flip the board and seize the ending he yearned for with his own hands. He smiled.
When the “Slave of Fate” bowed and presented a bloodstained olive branch, begging him to take care of those damned problems, he smiled.
Fate, oh, Fate. The world kneels before you as though you were an inviolable law. Then let me, the one who defeats you, burn what remains of me, tear apart the heavens, and blaze one last time.
[War God LV.5 → Fate’s Defeater LV.1]
[The one who defeats fate. If what fate has written is not what you desire, tear open its chest and crush its heart. Charge at it, crush it beneath your heel. Do not worry, do not fear: you are the herald of fate’s end.]
