"I'm just a fool in search of strength"
Boy is this painfully accurate. He won't stop until he's powerful enough to take on a nuke without having to attack it, lol. I laughed at the novel when he bemoaned that he had to attack to stop a nuke level spell and couldn't just tank it with his body.

Check out the novel. If you think this is cringe so far, it leaves out 90+% of his internal monologuing from the novel. I love reading it, because it always puts me in a better mood.
