Chapter 192: Oblivion (17)
TL/ED – Miso
Time is the only resource given equally to everyone.
No matter how much money one has, no matter what degree of power one holds, they must live through the same ten seconds as a beggar. No matter what they do, it is physically impossible to live through eleven.
However, it is possible to live through them at a different density.
The same ten seconds, yet a sprinter can cover a hundred meters.
The same ten seconds, yet a boxer can shatter my jaw ten times over.
Depending on effort, and sometimes on the gap in talent. Depending on the wealth one possesses and the retainers one commands, disparities can be created even within the same span of time.
Decay had stretched that disparity by tens of thousands of times.
‘The dulling of thought.’
