Chapter 558 - 497 World Forget Me
He unfolded the worn sheepskin paper, its scribbled handwriting quite messy — it seemed Selwyn could hardly steady his hand while writing this letter.
"I don’t know what name you’re using now, so I can only call you an old friend, a term I believe you would acknowledge. After all, we share a bond worth thirteen silver coins..."
Amberser read the words on the page calmly; the will did not describe a tragic future of his death, nor did it mention anything else, only the old man’s reminiscence of his life before death.
From learning magic as a youth, to meeting the love of his life, and finally watching that love leave him.
Amberser commented with a sigh, "The inevitable path of a Diviner Mage."
A young man achieves early success, gains wealth and glory, then realizes that destiny is a pitfall, the more you struggle, the deeper you sink, until you’re certain that no amount of effort could help.
Whether it’s Amberser or Selwyn or Mr. Misfortune, all Diviner Mages share exactly the same experiences. It’s just that Harvey is still young and hasn’t reached that stage yet, but sooner or later he too will undergo much the same as his predecessors.
However, Selwyn’s life had been tamer compared to Amberser’s, as the path of destiny he walked was different; he chose to hide, to evade misfortune.
Just as Amberser’s Dice of Destiny could not be seen by others but could lock down one’s fate, after the passing of Selwyn’s lover, he was also able to erase everything related to himself from the world.
It wasn’t simply being forgotten; even the books that recorded information about Selwyn would "go missing" under destiny’s orchestration. Perhaps they would get dirtied by accident or burn up, but in any event, anything that contained related information would disappear and then be forgotten by people.
