Niederlagen haben einen schlechten Ruf. Man sieht darin Schwäche statt Erfahrungsgewinn. Und das, obwohl so gut wie keine Erfolgsgeschichte ohne den unvermeidlichen Crash auskommt, das zeigen die Lebensläufe von Steve Jobs, Joanne K. Rowling oder Charles de Gaulle. Charles Pépin betrachtet das Scheitern neu. Er begreift es im Sinne der Stoiker als privilegierte Begegnung mit der Realität und wie die Existenzialisten als Chance zur Neuerfindung.

"Kill. Kill them all." It's the first four words Lars usually wakes up to every morning, a voice telling him she's just giving him a "quest" that will help him "level". But even if he wanted to do it, he can't. They're cultivators: beings with ancestral bloodlines that have powers he could only dream of, while he is stuck as a puny human. Even if he could kill them, the people who bullied him, beat him, treated him like a punch-bag pariah for being a "tailless worthless human", he wouldn't. That is, until a vicious group of murderous psychopaths called a "sect" descend on his village.
