"The stars..." Kayden learned the concept after another month isolated in the cave. "They are not isolated or alone, they do not face loneliness. Just as I have never faced loneliness before, they have their brilliance."
When we are alone, what is our only company if not ourselves? If you, being alone, are in bad company, then you are facing true loneliness. But if you can govern yourself, you need not fear even a thousand years of solitude.
As soon as this revelation dawned on Kayden, he understood the concept more deeply and its meaning in mana. The same impulse as the other times appeared over him. Kayden could learn the concept and have his first independent concept in the first realm. Loneliness was the second stage of the concept of slavery in the path he set for himself.
