they often ask,
what have you achieved by your 28th birthday?

you know,
when i was about 8, i was all for a PC game, called Might and Magic.
it was that much hilarious, i even put up with recording my every story.
to put it in a nutshell, it goes like this.

you are in an unknown place, with one unicorn and one knife to survive.
around there are no allies and you have to blood your way through to survive.
you do not even have money to buy yourself a healing elixir or something to eat.
but it is all about tactics, connections and making the right moves. and ain`t we all?

if you make it, fighting your every fight, selling yourself your skills at tavern,
leaning little by little and remembering all the roads, not skipping turns, going north..
there might be one day. one fucking single day.

when you have a thousand of unicorns.
when you can buy all the mercenaries.
(they do not even take money, because your are famous af)
when you can take the most expensive necklace at black market.
when you have money, floating and that is why your are learning unnecessary skills.

a great master of hunting? perception? trading?

there might be one day, when you get it all.
or just one road, missed and you are shredded by a pack of wolves.

i loved that game.
i can relate.
