The Why

Duke Kriad wasn't a man who believed in fate or manifestation. And he definitely wasn't the kind who'd think the universe was favoring him.

If anything, he saw the world as a jungle and himself as the hunter. Everyone else, was, ofcourse beasts. Some were more useful than others but at the end of the day, were all beneath him.

That belief was why he got where he's today.

Abandoned in an orphanage during a war time, he had to fight kids above his age to survive.

From a very tender age, he learned that his victory meant someone's loss. The laughter of the victory was always accompanied by the sob of the loser.

The world just had a favorite. They listened only to the one success story and ignored the million failures.

To the young mind of Kriad, the nature of such world was clear.

Winner. Loser.

Hunter. Hunted.

Win and Thrive. Lose and Perish.
