Chapter 247: Their Resolve Listen While Reading: Legends from Another Time ----- The “Sea of Broken Dreams” fit this place really well; drinking its water to satiate my thirst only made me hallucinate, dreaming while being awake. People I cared for and loved appeared one after another, telling me to give up, that this effort and suffering was just not worth the hassle. “Anna, you don’t need to work so hard. I will protect you and make sure that you never need anything…” “B-Brother…?” My vision became foggy as I started to hear the voice of my brother now. He appeared amidst the fog, his generous eyes looking at me with pity. “You don’t need to do this; I have not been working so hard to protect you for you to push yourself so much. Please don’t make my suffering and efforts in vain; I work hard for you, so you can have a better life.” “But… I don’t want to be a burden.” “You’re not a burden; you’re my only family. You don’t need to do this; please, Anna, come back home!” Jack started chasing me across the ocean as I kept swimming away from him. “Come back home, Anna! Please! You don’t need to suffer; you only need to feel safe and happy! The ugly world outside, I’ll shield you from it with my life! You don’t need to force yourself!” “No…” I started crying. “T-That’s why I won’t give up… Because I don’t want you to sacrifice your own life for me; I don’t want you to ruin yourself for my sake!” “Anna…” “I know you’re just a hallucination, but I just have to tell you the truth! I don’t want you to devolve into a monster; I don’t want you to become what I saw at the end of the story… The former Jack was nowhere to be found; you only became a husk of your former self!” I kept swimming, faster and faster. “I want to help you, to ease the burden! We will do this together as siblings! I don’t need your protection!” “I see…” Jack, however, didn’t protest back. He stopped chasing me, only glancing at me from afar. “Thank you…” He slowly dissipated as the fog became clearer and slowly disappeared too. “Hahh… I’m not doing this for myself… I’m doing this for others…” Remember that. Don’t forget it! Your intentions are not for yourself. If you were as selfish, wouldn’t you be happy to be protected and pampered by your brother? The opposite of Desire… The purple-colored aura surrounding my body slowly began to change; from purple, it changed to clear pink with small sparkles of gold. “This is…?” My Health and Ki began to restore naturally, without the need to drain it from anybody. The more energy I used, the faster my recovery rate became. This is… Selflessness. To forbid one’s desires and interests, and to give everything away for others. To work hard for others and to help those in need. I want to help my world, and even this world too. I don’t want to see people crying or sad anymore; I’m so tired of that. I want to help everyone. Even that stupid crow-faced idiot. “I think I’m getting there, eventually. I’ll make it.” The red aura of Frustration slowly started to change as well. From red, it slowly became orange-colored. I feel satisfied with what I have. I’ve reached so far already, and I can even keep moving forward no matter what. Isn’t that enough? I don’t need to rush things; I don’t need to feel frustrated because I can’t reach something. I need to accept myself for who I am and for what I’ve reached. This is the opposite of Frustration. Satisfaction. The burning, painful erupting power of Frustration suddenly lessened, and it became a soothing, cold wind that flowed through my body. Which also felt like a comforting warmth, like the hug of my brother. “No matter what, I will reach my destination.” I kept swimming, without end, without giving up, without losing sight of my goals. Eventually, after hours and hours of swimming, fighting monsters, and looking into the horizon. As three days and three nights passed. “I… did it.” I walked through the beach in front of me, made of glittering golden sand. In front of me was a single tre
