Tower of Heaven

'If I am too willful, I will destroy the flow of fate.'

Atlas' destiny was his own to control. She could try to guide his path, but if she controlled it, then she would no longer be able to call herself a just person.

'The most twisted fates can end in two ways.'

In the first case, the fate played out as it was meant to. The person involved would become twisted because of it, and in the worst-case scenario, they would transform into a calamity that stood against the world.

This… was how Alaric earned the title, [Calamity Dragon].

'In the second case, on the other hand, if one can overcome the twisted fate…'

Rather than becoming a calamity, the same person would become a hero who supported the weight of the world on their shoulders.

It was a fitting end for a person named after the Titan, was it not?
