The Game

'The discordance of fate,' thought Wang Wei, which is one of the most important things he learned from this experience. Fate is all about determinism; it deals with the absolute. Yet, it yearned for the people under its control to have unlimited possibilities and escape its shackles.

Wang Wei raised his head to condense a silver-grey star and looked deeply at it. Cultivation is a process of slowly escaping the control of fate. The higher the strength, the more choice an individual has; the more capable they have of becoming responsible for their actions.

Then, there are [The Fateless], people born outside the control of fate. They are the blessed few. A better way to describe them is that the River of Fate does not register them.
