In a world where divine oracles determine fate, the higher one's sequence, the more terrifying one's battle prowess.
From the start, Lin Yuan awakened Sequence 003, [Royal Authority], and thought he'd landed the protagonist's role.
When he unleashed his pressure, it was as if an emperor had arrived in person.
But after a mission, Lin Yuan discovered that what he had truly awakened was [Nameless].
Lin Yuan was dumbfounded.
So he'd spent all this time pretending to be an emperor, only to turn out to be a "commoner" who didn't even qualify for a sequence?
The detector's light flashed wildly over the words "Nameless."
The protagonist looked at the evaluation and suddenly smiled.
It was a short line, just eight words:
"From the people, and back to the people."
He looked up at his friend across from him, who had just been boasting about his "true Royal Authority," and said softly:
"Your Royal Authority is borrowed from Heaven."
"My Nameless is given by the people."
"What can you use to fight me?"
The gods say all living beings are ants?
How convenient. I'm the sum of billions of ants.
Years later, someone interviewed him.
"Mr. Lin Yuan, people say you possess unparalleled authority. What is the source of your power?"
Lin Yuan: "From the people."
"I see. You're reminding everyone not to look down on ordinary people, because boundless power lies within the ordinary!"
Lin Yuan: "Huh? Yeah, right, that's what I mean."
"Then, with the lofty gods treating all living beings as dust and countless people falling into despair, how can ordinary people break free from the shackles of fate?"
Lin Yuan: "Back to the people."
"After fighting your way through everything, what is the ultimate ideal you hope to achieve?"
Lin Yuan: "The nation belongs to the people, and the people are the nation."
The reporter was moved to tears.
What Lin Yuan didn't say was...
He meant it. Literally.
The people really were his nation.
Very beautiful, highly recommended
