Volume 3 - "One Must Deceive Himself"

SS: Professor Ayanokouji

Ayanopapa POV

Monsters don't exist. Such things are fairytales. Lies for the weak. Beacons for the deluded. Obscure fabrications of those that tell the young these scary stories to force them into behaving, like the Boogeyman and such.

Same goes for the concept of God, a belief birthed by man for the sole purpose of controlling the masses.

But the cold, harsh truth is that what they try to force feed us is all bullshit.

There is neither good, nor evil. There is only success or failure.

In my life, I have seen plenty of both, especially the latter. Those who died in the White Room were weak. Simple as that. Besides, everyone has an expiration date.

That belief of mine would get me labeled as a monster, but I don't give a damn. I only care about results.

As a young boy, no matter what I did, my father always punished me, telling me how I'm not good enough, no matter what I accomplished, no matter how hard I tried to please him, to hear him say for once that he's proud of me.

Heh. I was a fool back then, seeking that fossil's approval.

And so was my son.

I feel nothing for him, and now, that feeling is mutual.

Fine by me.

All that matters is breaking him down so that he can spring back up to greater heights never reached by anyone before, far surpassing me.

And then shall the new Emperor Ayanokouji Kiyotaka usher in an era of greatness.

Long live Japan.
