"Only through death rebirth will occur," I said as I looked at the bubbling lake of blood red.

I am planning on dying as only through it will I achieve rebirth.

If mother knew what I was going to do, she would stop me without question; even Michael, who is known to take a huge risk, wouldn't dare to do something like it.

I am planning on killing myself to achieve a breakthrough, a dangerous process that will kill me permanently from the face of the earth if I make even the faintest mistake.

Mother would have told me to use a simple way, but the simple way would not give me the strength I want; it would not make my bloodline reach the purity I need.

For the blessing of death phoenix, I will have to die and make a rebirth through it.

I did not think about it further; the bloodline armor disappeared from my body, and my clothes turned to ashes, and I moved my feet to step into this pool.
