How should one spend one's life? 

This is a very good question. 

Some people say that a successful life is worth living. 

But success cannot be defined. 

Some people say that the life of an ordinary person is very helpless: 

I am full of envy, but I can't attain it no matter how hard I try. 

Relying on others only leads to being betrayed in the end by your best friend. 

I tried my best, but in the end, I couldn't do anything. 

Full of dreams, but the edges have been worn down by reality. 

He fought bravely, but he was like a mantis facing a monster. 

Work hard, yet you can never hit the lottery of the womb. 

Desire for wealth, but become a leek in the eyes of others. 

Longing for love, but hastily marrying for life. 

You are as timid as a mouse, yet can only lie to yourself that being ordinary is happiness. 

You can't achieve anything, yet can only tell others that it's good to be free from disasters and diseases. 

He died on the street, but could only comfort himself knowing that he died vigorously. 

The life of an ordinary person is one of nonsense. 

But is this really the truth? 

Is the life of ordinary people truly so unacceptable? 

I don't think so. 

Some people enter the dungeon at 12 years old and start their life as adventurers, but they don't become what others call advanced adventurers until they are 50 years old. 

Some people have never received an education, yet they can find their favorite career at a young age. 

Some people are born into a lot of money, yet they are not happy at all. 

Some people know what they want when they are young, but change their minds when they grow up. 

Some people have children but remain single. 

Some people get married but don't love each other. 

Some people obviously love each other but are not together. 

Some people come from ordinary backgrounds but live happily. 

... 

What I mean is, don't let others or the outside world define your life. 

Everything in life depends on your own timing, your own progress, and your own choices. 

Some of your friends may be far ahead of you. 

Some friends may be falling behind. 

But everything has its own pace. 

They have their pace; you have yours. 

Be patient. 

I also understand that not everyone can become the hero everyone is looking for. 

Not everyone has the talent to make the world move out of their way.

But this doesn't mean we can't live life in our own way and as we wish.

In my opinion, this is true success.

When you are still studying hard as night falls, the beautiful moonlight of Orario will accompany you.

When you grit your teeth and keep exercising, countless people will be praying for you.

When you stay at your post on the ground, the raging monsters in the dungeon will roar and dance for you.

When you are called an "adventurer," the world will shine with your presence.

Those seemingly peaceful days will one day reveal the meaning of perseverance.

Perhaps this isn't an easy path to tread.

But believe me, my friend, there is never an easy path in this world.

Since we have become adventurers and inherited the will of our ancestors from ancient times, we will naturally bear a heavier burden than others.

But this is our responsibility!

If there is no daylight, life will be shrouded in darkness.

If it is dangerous to make any sound, remain silent.

If you feel that you cannot shine, do not cast light on others.

But!

Do not defend darkness just because you are accustomed to it.

Do not be complacent in your own complacency.

Do not ridicule those who are braver and more energetic than you.

It may be humble as dust, but it cannot writhe like worms.

If you think adventurers are bad, just strengthen them.

If you think Orario is no good, go and reform it.

If you feel that the world is not what you want, change the world!

Where you stand is your justice.

What you do defines you as an adventurer.

What you are embodies what it means to be an adventurer!

If you have light, this world will no longer be dark.

When a person stands on tiptoe near the sun, the entire world cannot block their light.

Everyone.

This is a new era that belongs to us.

As members of the adventurers, each of our responses is extremely important.

The dark factions are secretly watching.

This may be the worst of times, but it is also the best of times.

We will raise our flag amidst the ashes of darkness and sin, and the light of justice will illuminate this dark age.

May all adventurers shake off the cold and rise, without having to listen to self-destructive individuals.

Those who can do things, do things, and those who can fight, fight. 

There is a certain amount of heat and a certain amount of light. 

Even as a firefly, you can shine a little in the darkness without waiting for a torch. 

This is our best life as adventurers! 

So, let's return to our topic. 

How should a person's life unfold? 

I believe that as adventurers, each of us should live our lives like this: 

When you look back, you will not regret wasting your years, nor will you be ashamed of having done nothing. 

In this way, when you are dying, you can say: 

"My entire life and all my energy are dedicated to the greatest cause in the world: striving for the happiness of all humans and subhumans!" 

This is what I believe to be true will like steel! 

Gentlemen who have inherited the will of our ancestors, perhaps we still do not possess enough strength, status, and reputation to influence and change the world, but this does not mean that there is nothing we can do. 

The words on the paper have come to an end, but the stories of this world continue to move forward. 

No matter whether you or I are in a high or low position, our hearts should be filled with blessings and beauty. 

May each of us become the heroes of our own minds! 

May all of you have unrivaled vigor! 

── An adventurer, Link.
