Dust Seventeen

Di kehidupan yang lalu, aku merelakan kedua kakiku dilindas hingga hancur demi melindungi suamiku. Mertuaku menganggapku sebagai pembawa sial, beban keluarga, dan menunjukkan kebencian yang mendalam padaku. Orang tuaku sendiri merasa aku tak berguna dan menyusahkan, sehingga memilih untuk memutus hubungan denganku. Hanya suamiku yang tetap berada di sisiku dan aku selalu mengira bahwa dia mencintaiku.

Saat itulah aku baru tahu, ternyata selama ini dia menjual kisah hidupnya yang menyedihkan di internet hingga menghasilkan puluhan miliar. Ketika membuka mata lagi, aku kembali ke saat ketika mobil itu hampir menabrakku. Namun kali ini, aku memilih untuk menyaksikan semua itu dengan ekspresi dingin.

War. War is all we know. War for peace, war to take, war to protect. War for resources. It is impossible to avoid war because your neighbors won’t. If you are perceived as weak, you will be targeted. Your land and wealth stolen, your people killed, sons enslaved and daughters raped. To survive in this world, more important than oxygen; is strength and a cold heart. The only source of strength are mana veins. He who owns mana veins has the right to live and the right to rule. He who owns mana veins better have the strength to keep it or long life is but a pipe dream. Xasha hated war. War had taken everything from him and gave nothing in return. He hated that all wars were over petty things like pride and pocket change. He always looked to the vast wilderness with longing. He wondered why all the warmongers hadn’t turned their spears there. Where vast lands and untapped wealth were. Once he became a father. Xasha, the naïve, knowledge-loving merchant, decided he did not want his child growing up in the same world he did. He decided to change the world, end all war and unite the abandoned region. How will he do it? By starting a war, a war that will end all wars. Not a war with his neighbors over pride or a few mana veins. No. He will rage against the wilderness and the world beyond.
