Visual Novels

I was thinking about the time I was playing Mystic Messenger a few years back, and it made me wonder... 

There was a lot of different paths you could take in this game, some could lead to a happy ending, some could even lead to death.

On what path am I, in my life? 

And what other paths were there? What was the crucial decision that made me who I am today? 

Thinking that I am a hero in a visual novel makes my life less miserable, at the very least.
