Synopsis

In the twilight years of the universe, as the stars flicker and begin to fade into an eternal darkness, a lone wanderer embarks on his final journey across the cosmos. Having witnessed all that he cares for being swept away to the annals of time, not even a speck of dust remaining from his past, he has made his peace with the upcoming end. Finnian was born to a family of scholars on a planet long consumed by its star. His one lingering regret in life was that he had not been able to enjoy the little things more. He had toiled away for eons on his academic pursuits, but once he had time to reflect on things, he realized that it was all meaningless. As the tapestries of the cosmos began to gradually unravel, he knew that the meaning of life was not to embroil himself in studies but to enjoy the uniqueness of life and go on an adventure. With the universe itself dying, its secrets were slipping away into the void, forever beyond his reach so pursuing knowledge had no more merits anyways. Left with the remaining time he had left, he had decided to go on one final journey to enjoy the splendors the world had to offer. Although Finnian's age had long surpassed what any mortal could achieve, his mind was not entirely whole. Living for so long would inevitably impose bouts of madness on any person. Even the gods’, with their insurmountable lifespans, had long lost any rationality and were nothing more than mindless husks that sought destruction. The sliver of sanity that he had been able to keep in spite of his long journey was the only thing driving him now, with his desire for one last grand journey.
