Dancing on the edge of a blade, strolling through the shadows.
A lone king, an apostle of death, the pride of thieves!
Reborn into an online game, I always make the first move!
I have a heaven-defying ring. I'm not just a Thief, I can also learn Druid skills.
I can stalk through the shadows, ambush foes, and claim their heads. I can transform into a seal and dive underwater to open treasure chests. When I'm bored, I can even turn into a little leopard and act cute...
I have been true only to myself throughout my life.
Every choice I've made was of my own free will.
I have never been enslaved or controlled by anyone or anything,
not even the gods!
I may bow to others out of admiration and respect,
but I will never bow in submission!
P.S. I dedicate this book to the World of Warcraft we've shared over the years, and to the online-game novels we've read together.
