"Long ago, the White Night was nothing more than a punctuation mark."
"Its appearance signaled the end of a world."
"Beings in the world, whether aware or not, subconsciously accepted their fate."
"The fate of free-roaming livestock."
"To become food for the White Beast."
"Yet, some people began to reject that fate."
"They felt powerless, unable to save countless beings from being severed from reincarnation each time the White Beast devoured heaven and earth."
"They made a decision."
"To leave hope for this world."
"That was the first Sage."
"The first Sage had limited powers."
"He acknowledged his own weakness."
"Even by today's standards of strength, he had not surpassed the Ninth Tier."
"The only thing that allowed him to perceive the existence of the White Night was his unique physique, the Meditation Path Body."
