The Future is Limitless

This is where the story ends. I had many more adventures. I uncovered more secrets and wonders, but these stories are perhaps for a different time. Since the story ends here, I'd like to return to the beginning. Do you still wonder about limits? Even though I described to you how part of my life passed, I didn't give you a clear answer.

Limits, a concept that involves all living beings. Whether Human, Shade or deer, all of them have some sort of limits. People usually think about strength or intelligence, when they think about limits. I was the same, I used to think limits were there to gauge someone's strength or intellect. That doesn't seem to be the case. Limits encompass everything, even emotions. The question, "What is the highest stage you can reach?", is meaningless. Besides, it's boring.

Quantifying ourselves by the stages… I found it to be something I didn't strive for. I wanted to explore my life, that was my goal. Whether I reached certain limits or not, it wouldn't change who I was, or what goals I had. Limits were always subjective, not equal. If we compared two Humans at the same Limit Stage, would their intelligence, strength or stamina be the same? The answer is, no. It's a nice concept, when one tries to judge the abilities of one being or another. But other than that, useless and boring concept.

Hence, I stopped worrying about limits. I learned to appreciate the world more, instead of striving to pass each stage. In a sense, I live a limitless life. You never know what the future holds, what you will encounter on the next crossroads. That is something, no one can put a limit over. Your future is limitless, so long you seek your future. As I was told in the past, I shall repeat it here. All stories should be told. Life revolves around stories, and each person has a story to tell. Whether one's story will be exciting or mundane, you never know until you hear the end of it.

Each story can teach you something, and being able to hear many of them, might just enrich your own. That is the story of my life, or at least part of it. The story I trod through with my own feet. It's time for you to tread your own path, to complete your own story. After all, we are all travellers.

The question remains, right? What happens when you reach Primal Limits? Nothing, there will be another wall waiting in front of you. Even if you break that wall down, there will be another. At one point, you will arrive at a wall, you cannot bring down. No matter how much you try, no matter how long you live. You will simply get stuck at one point or another.

The higher you go, the more meaningless your life becomes. Do I know this feeling? No. There are beings much stronger than me in this world. Although they stand at the apex, they are boring. They have nothing to do with themselves. No amount of scenery or wonders would move their hearts. That was never the life I pursued. Their stories finished a long time ago, now they simply linger around. Without meaning or purpose.

Just like Golems, who could potentially live for eternity. They lost their meaning, their purpose, they just existed. Locked in their little world, living a life without any meaning. Maybe I will arrive at such stage too. Perhaps this happens to all beings that live too long. Perhaps no one can survive the test of time. Or perhaps we will never know. I will leave this for you to decide, as for me? It's time to close the book, and return home. I've been away for a long time, who knows what surprises await me when I return... I'm sure of one thing, it will not be boring.
