"Immortality? That can be lonely. And in the end, everyone will die. It doesn’t matter what you do to escape it—sooner or later, all shall taste death. It is already written; it’s only a matter of when and how.
But glory… glory is the answer.
Glory will outlive flesh and bones.
Glory is what we should strive for, not immortality."

Robin Burton was a young man who grew up with everything anyone could ever hope for: immense talent in cultivation, a sharp mind, and a wealthy family that would stop at nothing to protect and nurture him. He had everything—except the will to make use of it.

"Why should I walk the same path as my ancestors? Why must I seek strength just to defeat one rival or compete with another? That is not what I was born for!"

“…Heh\~” Robin let out a long sigh. “Pursuing power was never my goal. I left my family and secluded myself to escape those pointless struggles for authority. I wanted to explore the universe, and to explore myself first… yet time and again, I was dragged into devastating wars. I wanted to benefit people with my knowledge and immortalize my name, yet worlds fell and hundreds of billions died because of me. Ironic, hah?”

Lord Orion lifted a cover in front of him, as if drawing back the flap of a tent, and immediately smiled warmly. "My dear, are you feeling well today? I've come to check on you, to make sure all is in order… and, of course, to bring some good news."


A pillow rocketed straight into his face with astonishing force—BAM!—making his nose bleed slightly.


Orion raised a hand to wipe the blood away, grinning despite himself. "Ah… much stronger than last time," he said, chuckling softly. "Why must you go so hard on me, my dear sister? Truly, your strength has surpassed mine by far. I must admit, it makes me feel… a little envious. Just a touch." He shook his head, amused, and continued forward, careful to avoid any more airborne assaults.
