Freedom

Before getting to know the world and those who walk in this world, one should first comprehend themselves. this is something that I did, and now after comprehending who I was both inside and out, and fusing with my true self, I gained a perfect understanding of myself and a higher degree of control over myself.

Now, I had removed the shoes on my feet and was wearing robes, all so I could have a deeper and higher connection with the world around me. walking through the desert, it was harsh and hard. but I used to temper myself, and it was then I learned something

In this world, not everyone uses chakra, some use purely natural energy. these sage beasts, I knew how to absorb nature into my body, fusing it with my chakra before using it. but it was a whole new story to use it purely without chakra. why? because simply absorbing natural energy would lead to a person's transformation into a statue

Yet, I managed. I managed to reach a state where I was one with the world, at peace with my surroundings to the point where I could control the natural energy around me. it looked at like how people control the elements within the avatar, the Last Airbender. Pretty much, there were movements needed to take to control the elements. almost like hand seals, but with the whole body

but I managed to slowly limit these movements, I spent a whole year in the desert, simply training and learning these movements. the more I learned, the higher my connection got to this world. I avoided eating, water, and even eating. becoming a monk who was fasting to the extreme. this led to me growing skin, to the point my flesh was hugging my bones.

to say the least, as a mortal the first few days of this were hellish. the hunger, the need for sleep, and the need for water. It was hell, I only sought food when I was at my limits and when I needed it for survival. it took me 5 months before I was capable of going 40 days without food, water, and sleep.

After another 5 months, I managed to reach a state where I could go 25 days without sleep, water, and food. but I could never get to go past 25 days, I was sure if I tried I would die. sure I would reform, but it didn't mean I was cool with just dying.

by then, it was 10 months, but I went for it anyway. using a few days to get ready, before I began to try and fast. for this, I went to a mountain, and just sat under a tree, and began to meditate. In the past, I would train while doing all of this, which pushed my body to the limits, 

I heard that Buddha went 49 days without food and water, but he did all that while meditating. meanwhile, I went 25 days, without food, water, and speed. on top of that, I was training, to better understand the world around me. but now, I was going to meditate, 

days flashed by, and my mind entered a unique state. I felt as if I had reached a deeper connection with the world as if the world was me, and I was the world. it was a special state of being, as I could feel all of the rules which govern the universe.

I could feel them all, such as time and space, gravity, light and darkness, life and death, chaos and order, and reality. I felt like I opened a 3rd eye, and my body had broken free of some chains that held me, allowing me to vary the world not in the first person, not in the second person, not in 3rd person, but in all 3.

it was weird and hard to explain, but pretty much, I was reading fate. My eyes reached a level where I saw it all... we were all nothing more than puppets, dancing on some strings, for someone's amusement. it was like there was some greater power out there, writing away our story, and to make it entertaining, he needed us to fight, cry, and feel pain.

Opening my eyes, I couldn't help but laugh at this realization. what was the mining of life? it was sure our feel and be entertaining to some greater being. was I being reborn into this world also for their entertainment, isn't that funny? All thing you hold dear to you, all that you love and careful, nothing more than chains which binds you to this story to make sure you play your part.

Do you love your wife? where, it would be boring if you just fell in love with her, why not make sure you work hard to win her love? now you have her heart, and there are 2 ways this could go. Once you and her stay together and endure all the challenges, one day you come home to find a train running through her.

What's more interesting? how has a perfect life? who does not go through some challenges? We are all the MC of our own story, that is true... but what is a story if it doesn't catch the heart of a reader? our story is supposed to entertain, thats the meaning of everything.

we are held down by main chains, and without knowing it I had broken free of a few from them. The body and mind, are the first things I gain control of. but they were the first and second layers of the chains.

the 8 gates? there were these chains, but it gets deeper as the subconscious is filled with countless other chains, which I removed, and I made the important step of fusing with my true self, gaining complete control of myself, both body and mind.

above this is the needs, and wants of the body. the chains I called the 7 deadly sins. it was normal for a person to hold some level of greed in their heart, it was normal for a person to hold some level of pride, wrath, gluttony, lust, envy, and sloth within their heart. these were what kept a person from ever seeing the truth of this world.

there were needs, such as the need for food, water, and sleep. These needs can't be ignored, and they too were another chain.

In my attempts to learn this world, I needed to break these chains. but not fully, why? because these 7 desires, mostly greed are what pushed me to reach this state of enlightenment. I can't fully break free of these 7 desires, they were a part of me. but if it could completely let go of all of my worldly desires, I felt like I could break free. but in wanting to do so, was there no degree of greed within such a thing?

Breaking all of the chains, and truly becoming free was something not so easy. and honestly, I wanted to break free. Deep down, I wanted to become a perfect being. yet now, I realize my being was just a story in someone's eyes. I was a clown within a sage, watched by someone, who was asking me to do something entertaining for them.

Fate... it was a string that wrapped around me, forcing me to dense. I could struggle against it, and create some waves. but how big of a deal was a wave in the middle of the ocean? I could kill others before their time, creating some waves, but there was a limit to how big of a wave I could create.

Standing up, I looked at this world for some time. it was funny... I went from a mortal to a powerhouse stronger than my former self before being sealed. right now, I have control of this world, the more I understand this world, the more of this world I can use as my power. this means I can control time, space, the elements, and so on. Even reality was under my control, and this time to a level far above my former level of control.

lastly, my last gains. I had broken free of many things, and even logic could be ignored right now. what does that mean? let's say I was stuck in quicksand and couldn't grab onto anything, I could simply take hold of myself and pull myself out. 

I could walk off a cliff, and not fall. Since the rules of the world can't affect me, I would not fall until I allow the rules of the world to affect me. It would be more cartoon-like if I didn't gain a full understanding of my mind and self. so I would fall else I allow it, meanwhile cartoon cartoon characters would fall due to their subconscious allowing the rules of the world.

But this went deeper, thanks to eating the Grim Reaper, My understanding of death was high. but the benefits can't be understood just yet. Anyway, I got up and I left ready to wonder about the world and do what I found interesting. I had no interest in being a hero, a villain, or whatever. So, I went to search for what interested me, opening to find a way to break free of that last chain and cut these strings of fate.
