The 57 Precepts Of Zote

Summary:

In which I expand upon the precepts that I teach. Of course, not that people don't listen. They just want more! Not that I care if they want more or not, of course. I only depend on myself. I do not need the attention of the other to survive.

Notes:

I tried to do some CSS and HTML stuff in here, it's fun but it didn't get the result I wanted. Whatever. My workskin, that's up for future me to fix. I gotta write my silly zote fanfiction. I gotta BRETTA myself. I'm BRETTA.

Also, while I was writing this, I found out that there was another fic that's like this one? I haven't read it as I want to develop my own fic, but there's 2 cakes for you to eat. Precept 27: Eat as much as you can! https://archiveofourown.org/works/25198903

Chapter 1: Precept 1: Always win your battles

Chapter Text

Precept One: 'Always Win Your Battles'.

Losing a battle earns you nothing and teaches you nothing. Win your battles, or don't engage in them at all!

...

I have not been through many losses. While I do believe that there are creatures that can defeat me in the state that I exist in now, as the mighty Zote, I have yet to meet one. And they have yet to meet my Life Ender!

Though - while the past is only to be forgotten - as per Precept 4 - I shall recall memories simply as examples. Nothing more. You should focus on the future as much as you can.

I remember that I was not the bug I used to be. I lost. The only thing I learnt from my losses is how to not lose. And if I lose twice, then there's no difference between losing thrice, or beyond. It's better to not try at that point, since it's beyond your capability. There are better things to spend time on, such as food.
