Software engineer and computer science student at California State University, Fullerton. I'm interested in full-stack development, game development, and distributed systems. Outside of engineering, I enjoy diving into creative endeavors such as writing and worldbuilding. I'm also a cool gamer that mainly plays (MMO)RPGs and narrative-driven games.

Death is not a hunter unbeknownst to its prey, one is always aware that it lies in wait. Though life is merely a journey to the grave, it must not be undertaken without hope. Only then will a traveler's story live on, treasured by those who bid him farewell. But alas, now my guest's life has ended, his tale left unwritten...As proof of one's life, there exists death. This proof exists as a flame, painfully burning one's life away. Yet though a life crumbles to dust, time moves ever onward. He who had been your proof, your life itself... The answer has been lost, never to be found again.The moment man devoured the fruit of knowledge, he sealed his fate... Entrusting his future to the cards, man clings to a dim hope. Yet, the Arcana is the means by which all is revealed... Beyond the beaten path lies the absolute end. It matters not who you are... Death awaits you.You cannot avoid death. To live is to die. They are one, and the same. Let us finish this. It is the path of your choosing.
