Cassius felt that his path veered away from the usual protagonist path that he had read about in stories prior to his unusual reincarnation. In those stories, the Main Character would find himself in the company of numerous women, all of whom loved him dearly. He would also have family and friends, one or multiple lovers, and an overall blissful life.
But then, somewhere along the way, hurdles would be thrown in front of the Main Character. Perhaps some of the people closest to him would be put in perilous predicaments. Maybe the Main Character would vow to himself to become stronger because he wouldn't want a repeat of what happened to someone close to him? Or maybe he wanted to prevent it from ever happening to begin with—
"Preventing from the beginning…"
Cassius's expression suddenly brightened in enlightenment. He found the answer he was looking for. Or, rather, he found some of it.
