Chapter III: The Painter’s Paradox — Creation as Annihilation
There is a man whose artwork is not composed with a brush dipped in paint, but rather dipped in existence itself. The bristles of his paint brush, dipped in a white so bright it worships the very idea of painting, are believed to be the extract of the very marrow of the soul itself. Each stroke is not just light on canvas, but light imagined; he contains the power to release light into the fathomless void lurking around the periphery of life. He is a painter of the endless dark, a witness to a subjectless mute whose silence speaks louder than any tangible utterance. Language fails here; any word on the edge of the subject's tongue is siphoned away, absorbed, dissolved, and regurgitated onto the dried slick of basanit slate as pigment. What else could it be called but a sacrament? His brush as chalice; his white, the dictated libation of a soul grasping at meaning in its own frailty.But as the light escapes his brush, the shadow is also introduced.

Chapter XVII: The Sovereign of Shadows
The wind shrieked, calling me through the hollow arches of my empire, and shared the whispers of those from which I had long departed. They did not capitulate, they did not bend the knee—those stubborn flames in their unyielding commitment who were steadfast in grisly devotion to my cause even while I drifted into infinite nothingness. I stand now before the stripped down bones of my empire, their magnificence reduced to chambers of resonating echo and thrones of dust. *Why have I returned?* The question coils in my heart like the serpent of eternal regret. Perhaps it is the burden of promises I once scarred into the flesh of memory now bleeding through the cracks of time. Or perhaps it is the truth that solitude, even from this frayed kingdom, is a reprieve from the honeyed mumble of humankind. Humanity—how shameless a pantomime! They murmur constantly of virtues they loathe, and in the very next breath, dive into the sins of their own disdain. Their laugh, a knife—that roasts, and their kindness, a mask stuck to rotten flesh. I have tasted their "compassion," a goblet of vinegar, and spit it back into oblivion. They are the architects of their own suffering, bringing offerings of opinions about the innocence of gutting like lambs to a slaughterhouse. Weakness masquerades as strength in their world—a monstrous breeding from the bones of gentle chitterers.

Repression or Depression
Concrete modernity, from technological advancements, automation, rapid communications, and transportation to the latest various AI tools has eased the world inasmuch as a man can have anything with a single touch. Delivery boys, drivers, factory laborers, workers, etc are not behind in the technological transformations. Modern man has also been programmed by modern social values and structures to behave like a robot under self-automation. This is shifting the long-held normative social norms into modern exhaustive and laborious machine-like beings validating themselves from the external world under abundant internalized pressures.

True Power Uplifts; Narcissists Abuse It
Framing the Narrative is a Manipulation Tool Luckily, my DNA shows that I'm less susceptible to framing. I agree, as I tend to see through manipulative people and have taken big risks calling them out. Whenever I do, I've usually been portrayed as the alleged abuser, especially by those determined to win at any cost, and lack morals. I don't know how common this trait is , to question someone's motives and/or not accept what could be manipulative harmful behavior. I tend to spot dishonesty and dislike dealing with dishonest people, such as those who deliberately lie, deceive, manipulate, troll, etc. They do things under the guise of something else, and their agenda is one-sided. Such people shut down any diverse discourse that differs from the narrative and operates in a way that becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, to prove they are right. It's like karma and they attract what they give out, which is toxicity.
