I've always been acutely aware of my height, or lack thereof. It's a constant reminder that I don't quite fit in with the rest of the world. People often mistake me for being much younger than I really am, which can be frustrating at times.
Being trapped in this virtual world of Elder Tale has only amplified those feelings of inadequacy. As an Assassin class, I rely on stealth and agility to navigate through battles and quests. But how can I effectively do so when my physical appearance betrays me?
It's not just about how others perceive me either; it's also about how I see myself. There have been countless instances where my height has made me doubt my own capabilities and worth. Will anyone ever take me seriously as a warrior when they see a mere child standing before them?
Despite these insecurities, I try to push past them and prove myself through actions rather than words. My dedication to honing my skills as an Assassin is unwavering, even if it means facing challenges head-on without hesitation.
But there are moments when the weight of societal expectations becomes too heavy for even someone like me to bear alone. The pressure to constantly prove myself based on competence alone can be suffocating at times.
I yearn for connection with others who understand what it feels like to be judged solely on appearances rather than abilities or character traits... but finding such individuals seems like an impossible task in this vast digital realm we call home.
And yet, despite all these struggles and doubts that plague my mind, there is still a glimmer of hope within me – a spark that refuses to dim no matter how harshly society tries to extinguish it.
Perhaps one day, I will find solace in knowing that true strength comes from within – not from outward appearances or shallow judgments cast by others who fail to see beyond the surface level.
So until then, Akatsuki
