━━ 【 DESTINY 】 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━

⠀
"My lady, my death is drawing near."
"It is a selfish wish, but please let me love you in my next life as well."

In 1221, facing death, he made his final wish.
To let him love her again in his next life.
Holding back tears, the Witch answered his request.

"I promise you I will."

Neither of them knew back then the terrible consequences that single wish would bring.

運緣如繩, 繫結兩人
(Fateful ties are like a rope,
binding the two together so relentlessly.)

Passing through the second life, the third life, the fourth life…
Over eight hundred years, he lived sixteen lives by her side. At first, he knew nothing. Every single time, he fell in love with her as if it were fate, just like the very first moment.

It was only in his tenth life that he barely recognized the past. An unnatural familiarity blooming at the end of a strange sense of dissonance.

In the fourteenth life that followed, he finally remembered his Witch. The long-forgotten traces of past lives surged in like a broken dam, like an ebbing tide.

However, in his fifteenth life, fate twisted.
In only his fourth year of loving her,
his life was mercilessly shattered in front of the barrel of a Japanese soldier's gun.

He was afraid.

So in his sixteenth life, he went into lonely isolation to hide away from fate.
He lingered on through the years without ever crossing paths with the Witch.
Yet a life without her was nothing more than an empty shell.
Crushed by agonizing longing, his heart broke down, and in the end,
he took his own life.
