If the sole purpose of this place—the secret realm—was for him to come to it, then he would gladly do so, but only if it aligned with his will. After all, as those words said, There is nothing that can escape my will. He would walk this path on his own terms, not anyone else's. And even if those words weren't meant for him, he would claim them as his own.
He recalled the figure's question before he arrived at the secret realm: What of about your future? Although it seemed trivial, the question held significant meaning for him. His future was his to shape. Even if a road had already been laid before him, he was the one who would decide whether to take it. The sword, too, had told him he was already shaping his own destiny.
Though his belief seemed paradoxical, it was the truth he had grasped through his introspection. He was certain of it.
