AZI: Burial of a Selfish Lunatic

Full Title, AZI: The History Shattering Burial of a Selfish Lunatic, Who Walked through Reincarnation for Two-Trillion Years Volumes 1-3 Synopsis: “Who?” Holding a lone gourd in hand the young man raises it to the Heavens with a single question. “Who wishes to accompany me? To stay by my side for an eternity, and to walk through the mountains, and seas?” May container spoilers below Volume 4 Synopsis: Weapon spirits, such is the nature of every single Sinner within the Leng Bing Realm. In other words, all of them are but tools, and a tool… “A tool has no right to choose their owner, and what a tool does is decided by their owner.” “…Cruel, how very cruel the laws of this world are. Even upon death, a soul may not rest.” Volume 5 Synopsis: “Surnamed Ye, if you had a choice between being a hero or a demon lord, which would you choose? Naturally, you can also choose to be a villager A or B if you wanted to.” “What kind of question is that? Hmm.” Contemplating for a bit, Ye Chen answers— “I guess, the hero? Since he always wins in the end?” “Hero, is it?” “And you, surnamed Long?” “I think, the role of the hero—is a role that should only be played by a masochist.” “The hell? Is this entire question supposed to be a way to diss me?” “The fate of a hero is to suffer. They’re constantly being pushed left and right. …While everyone else drowns in a sea of despair, a hero must stand their ground, and step forward—to guide the deadbeats along. They must become the shining beacon of hope that others may follow—towards a future, where they may survive. Tell me then, if a hero isn’t a masochist, then what are they?” The world is a game board, those who control the game board, and the game itself… What are they? Volume 6 Synopsis: “A lunatic near death has three options. One, they can choose to pass away peacefully. Two, they can choose to spend the rest of their remaining life to find a solution that will let them live. Three, they can drag an entire world down as a part of their burial.” ……… “The longer you live for, and the more you experience, the less you care about the things around you. Maybe, I’m just someone who has reached that point?” ……… “You’re right in saying that even if this world goes up into flames, I’d still be drinking away at my leisure. Why bother to care for a world that is completely foreign to me? The people who I had cared for, they aren’t here; hence, I see very little purpose in getting myself invested into this environment.” ……… The 46th prince of the Hong Xiao Empire was born between the emperor and the 114th concubine. He was born on a moonlit night, and yet, since his eyes were blind, his majesty—the emperor decided to name him Bujian Yue. “Did you know—that the more fearful a prey is, the tastier it is? At least to me, since I enjoy chewing on my food to savor the flavor.” “…?” Enlarging its stature, the black serpent abruptly snaps its head forward, and swallows the palace maid whole. Leaving a bite mark on the ground, the black serpent begins to chew, as the sound of meat and bones being pulverized comes from its maw. And eventually, the black serpent swallows.

AZI Volume 7 Chapter 20.5 Part 2 Intermission – In This Life…

In one life, I was a carp—forever trapped within a pond.

In another life, I was a bird—capable of soaring the skies, but a life within a cage; that was all that I had known during that life.

In some of the many lives that I had experienced, I wasn't even a human, and even if I was a human, freedom wasn't something that I could have held.

At times I was a man, and at times I was a woman.

Occasionally, I had been a genderless existence.

Of the many lives that I had lived through, one was especially memorable.

Within that life, I had saved a world.

However…

For the sake of saving that world, I had destroyed another world.

Looking back at that life now…

Could I still have been considered a hero? Or was it more appropriate to call myself a selfish destroyer instead?

Regardless, out of all the lives that I've experienced so far, and will be experiencing in the future—that life, it was probably destined to be the most peaceful one.

...…

Indeed, I probably should have savored that life for a bit longer, but…

I cannot allow myself to linger.

This curse that had accompanied me ever since that day, it wasn't going to go away on its own.

My wish…

I…

I seem to have forgotten that as well.

…Was that wish important?

No, maybe it really wasn't that important.

In the end, I had simply taken on this journey for the sake of survival—for it was the only way to reset this curse's progress.

Indeed, it was all just a means to buy time—to drag out the inevitable because…

Because I was afraid.

Witnessing father's transformation into a monster that day…

I was afraid of that happening to me as well.

I was afraid of becoming a mindless monster.

But even worse than that—it would be to become a mindless monster, and harm someone that I had treasured.

And because of that, I've started to become instinctively fearful of getting close to others throughout the lives that I had experienced.

…Godfather was right.

Needless empathy will only serve as shackles to drag me down…

I…

I shouldn't get close to others.

And I shouldn't yearn for others to get close to me.

In this life…

I must become accustomed to solitude.
