First log entry.
Name: Strider Hiryu Gender: Male Occupation: Special-A Rank Strider
I am Strider Hiryu, a ninja-like assassin trained from birth to be the best in my field. My skills with the Cypher plasma sword are unmatched, and I have achieved the highest rank in record time. People see me as cold-hearted and distant, but that's just a façade I put on to hide who I truly am.
I have a secret...a nerdy side that no one knows about. I love anime, manga, animals (especially cats), video games, and collecting trinkets. These things bring me joy in ways that my job never could. But I can't let anyone know about these passions; they don't fit with the image of a ruthless assassin.
Anime is like an escape for me - worlds where anything is possible and heroes always prevail. Manga takes me on adventures without ever leaving my room. Cats are creatures of grace and independence that captivate me with their beauty and mystery.
Video games offer challenges that test my skills in ways real life never could. Collecting trinkets gives me something tangible to hold onto when everything else feels uncertain or fleeting.
But despite all this, I struggle with social anxiety and fear being trapped in one place for too long. Trust doesn't come easily to me; it has been broken too many times before.
It's embarrassing to admit all of this...to reveal such vulnerability behind the mask of Strider Hiryu. But maybe writing it down will help ease some of the weight off my shoulders. Maybe someday, someone will understand both sides of who I am - the stoic assassin and the nerdy introvert hiding beneath his armor. Until then...this log remains private. End Entry
