+Before meeting death,\\
+The scholar already composed his own epitaph —
+//<color #993333>"This person's name was seldom mentioned by others,\\
+Incomplete, just like his fate."</color>//
+He would sweep his own grave at the beginning of every Month of Reaping,\\
+Staring long and hard at his stained hands...
+Hands that never seek the benediction of gods,\\
+Accepting only the tricks and plots his brain presents.

+//<color #efe4B0>"Keep your distance from that blasphemous one,\\
+lest misfortune follows you like a shadow."</color>//\\
+People warned each other thus before his lectern.
+In those rumors, the scholar's hubris looms foul and vile,\\
+He dares to proclaim ascendancy over gods, and defy the Titan's will.
+But the one shouldering such slander pays little heed.
+His lonesome figure stands aloof,\\
+For he always believed,\\
+That gods are no greater than mortal beings such as he.

+Grove of Epiphany, the paradise of the wise,\\
+Yet harbors one shouldering the name of a fool.
+He calls himself a clear-headed teacher leading lost students,\\
+Yet he rarely guides or teaches, apart from gifting a single saying.
+Yet the rest of the student's life,\\

+To which the teacher replies with sharp retort.

+He seems able to decipher all laws.
+And now,\\
+Even destiny may also be within his grasp.
+It was not so in the beginning,\\
+As he silently recalls the past under leafy shade —
+//<color #993333>"Faced with a god's edict, even I cannot resist."</color>//\\
+With no guidance given, he reaches enlightenment for the first time...
+//<color #993333>"Yet I sincerely believe this is not to be my destiny."</color>//\\
+That became the cause of the blasphemy.

+//<color #993333>"Miracles are the most conceited actions of gods.\\
+They are gods' denial of humanity via might."</color>//
+//<color #993333>"Magic tricks are the most articulate rebuttal.\\
+They are humanity's imitation of godhood via intellect."</color>//
+He habitually describes the feats of mankind as "magic tricks,"\\
+Proving that the enlightened can step beyond the boundaries of reason.

+But magic tricks cannot afford to fail, even after a million times,\\
+And for that, the blasphemous co-conspires with a god —
