Immortal Paladin
Chapter 037 His Oath

Oath of the Wandering Adjudicator

"To walk is to seek. To seek is to understand. To understand is to judge with fairness."

I am neither bound by crown nor chained by creed.

I walk the road of self-discovery, where every step reveals truth.

I do not raise my blade in hatred, but neither do I stay my hand against cruelty.

Stolen story; please report.

I am no saint, nor do I claim wisdom beyond others—

Yet where justice is absent, I shall stand.

Where despair takes root, I shall strive.

Where power crushes the weak, I shall strike.

Humanity is flawed, yet beautiful. Selfish, yet kind. Weak, yet enduring.

I do not serve gods, kings, or destiny—only the truth I see with my own eyes.

And if ever I falter…

Let the weight of my own judgment be the one that humbles me.

This is my Oath. I shall walk, seek, and uphold.
