Every story worth taking seriously shares the same theme: "How to live the one life we're given."
Life is so short that even the greatest sages are suddenly tossed into this world, forced to experience a lifetime without any preparation. That is why no one ever lives a perfect life. There are always regrets, always moments wasted.
But luckily, we have stories. In stories, creators and readers share a different life. In stories, the human experience is continuously extended. And in stories, we can reach immortality from within our finite cages.

"With stories, we are able to live a thousand lifetimes."
