I'm Always on the Road to Death

I am a program, a program that ensures everything that is supposed to happen happens as it should.

Who is controlling me? I don't know. But I have always believed that I bear a noble mission entrusted to me by Heaven, and I have taken pride in diligently doing my job.

I have had many names, and I have been many people. I have even been a monster, but I have been human most of the time. Perhaps human lives are always so short that their blaze burns all the more brilliantly, leaving even monsters and gods unable to forget them. That is what I think.

But even I don't know my true name, because the being who brought me into this world didn't care about that. What am I called?

The more work I completed, the more I gradually began to understand.

I, at least, can be called... "the malice of fate."
