Fey didn't know if he could have done anything to change his fate. Everything he did from the beginning... It all seemed like someone's elaborate plane to lead him to this point.
Everything started to make sense as he was on his last breath. It all began when he asked the author about a shortcut of conquering this world with his abilities.
It was the author who guided him towards Feng Yu, giving him the method. It was that plan which led him to come across Eren. Everything started from that moment onwards.
Was it just a coincidence? Or was that person intentionally leading him down this path? It was also him who guided him to target the Western Overlord next, which brought him to this part of the continent where he came across Eren again.
He didn't know what was real and what was fake. Everything felt like an elaborate scheme. He was an expert in turning others into his puppet, but in this case, he had become a puppet himself.
