As I gingerly opened my eyes for the very first time as a newborn, the world around me seemed to explode with a breathtaking display of colors. The room I found myself in was a masterpiece of design, with every corner and every object bathed in a pristine white brilliance that seemed to radiate purity and innocence.

I lay there, taking in the beauty of my surroundings, feeling overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of the moment. It was as if I had been born into a world created just for me, with every detail meticulously crafted to welcome me into this new existence.

As I blinked and tried to focus, the colours and shapes around me began to shift and blend together, creating a kaleidoscope of images that danced before my eyes. It was a magical moment, one that filled me with wonder and awe at the sheer beauty of the world I had been born into.

The beauty of the world I saw that day turned into a cruel reality; the life I was living wasn't meant to be lived.

The name that was given to me upon birth was Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.

As the years slipped by in the blink of an eye, memories were created, experiences were cherished, and lessons were learned.

As I surfed behind those white walls, I was not alone, at least not in the beginning. However, as time went on, one by one, people succumbed to the intense pressure and unforgiving nature of the task at hand. Some were overcome by fear, while others simply couldn't muster the physical or mental strength to keep fighting against the odds.

Surprisingly, it didn't take long for everyone else to vanish, leaving just me in this place.

As I started pondering the purpose of my existence on this earth, I realised that the idea of throwing away talent was not a consideration for me. I came to understand that my talent is not solely mine to waste or decide upon, but rather a precious gift to be nurtured and cherished.

After that Throughout the years, I have dedicated myself to continuous learning, embracing new knowledge and experiences that have enriched and nurtured my personal growth and development.

No matter how much knowledge I acquire or how intense my training gets, there seems to be an unending horizon of growth before me. It's as if the concept of a ceiling simply does not apply to my insatiable thirst for growth. Each new challenge I face and each obstacle I overcome only serves to fuel my drive to push harder and reach further.

The more I learn, the more I realise how much there is still left to discover. It's a humbling experience to be faced with the vastness of the unknown, but it's also exhilarating to know that there are no limits to what I achieve and no boundaries to hold me back.

The more I tried to distance myself from their worship and adoration, the more they clung to me, desperate for someone to believe in, someone to give them hope and guidance in our small world.

For a decade and a half, I endured the harshness of training, faithfully following each and every command without question. The gruelling days melded into one another, leaving me feeling like a mere cog in a machine, endlessly turning and spinning without purpose. But through it all, I held onto a flicker of hope, a belief that someday all of this would make sense and that I would emerge stronger and wiser on the other side.

I faced challenges that tested my physical and mental limits, pushing me to the brink of exhaustion and beyond. The shouts of my trainers echoed in my ears, driving me forward even when my body screamed for rest. I learned to block out the pain and push through the doubt that threatened to consume me.

Despite the hardships, there were moments of clarity and triumph. I felt the rush of adrenaline as I conquered each hurdle and each obstacle that stood in my way. And in those fleeting moments, I knew that all of the sacrifices and struggles were to feed my hunger for growth.
