People always want more. "If only I had more time", proclaim the rich and powerful.
Time is the only never changing factor. It's the only equal in this world full of pain and suffering. So why? Why do we waste it? Why do we take it for granted? We're foolish, we're stupid, and we're ungrateful.
There's only one thing that goes hand and hand with time and makes you stronger. Experience. If you have this you can be powerful.
Some probably think, talent trumps experience, but it's the other way around. View it like this, on one hand you have a natural born genius that specializes in strategy games and on the other you have a veteran military general with 20+ years under his belt. Who would you have command your army?
The answer is simple and obvious for most. The general, but why? Why the general? Well it's because he's most likely trained, right? Correct. Training is experience, although the real deal is more effective.
What am I getting to? Why did I just completely forget about the main character? This brings us to the story.
