The Final Metamorphosis - Stark Black & Ecstasy of Gold

I’m back, and if everything goes according to plan, this will be my final journal on the forums, because I’m really ready to move forward in my life.

The last few years has been amazing. I’ve gotten to try on the mask of many different versions of myself. From introverted and rise and grind; to a suave seducer with pretty much the whole town chasing me. The truth is though, I’ve just been playing at life, not living it. I’ve been fucking around and I’ve found out.

Here goes. I’m not happy, I’m lonely, and I really messed up. Or better yet, I didn’t listen to myself. I stopped listening to myself far too long ago, and it’s caused me a lot of hurt.

But I made my own bed, you see what I’m suffering right now, is the consequences of my own life philosophy. I prioritized fun with no back up plan, no financial safety net, and no realistic plan for my future.

Now, I’m about to turn 30 in October, I’m broke, fat, and overworked.

Girls still love me, but I’m too broke to date, too stressed to workout, and too sick of myself to allow love into my life.

I do genuinely believe that the hurt serves a purpose, I really do. Because though I am far from a master of myself, I do know myself, and at every wrong turn in the road, I did know better.

No, my life isn’t “bad” not in the slightest. But it isn’t good, and I only have myself to blame.

I’m looking down the barrel of a gun (metaphorically), and it’s time to really change.

The biggest mistake that I made, was downplaying the NEED for healing in my life.

Now it’s time to change that.

This journal has about a 3 year maximum timeframe, because that’s as far as I’ve planned, lol.

Doesn’t mean I’ll “leave” just means that I’m giving myself 3 years to do some serious work.

Basic Strategy:

  • EoG St1 for 5 cycles minimum
  • Dragon Reborn Red for 12 cycles minimum
  • Stark Black for phase 1, phase 2 TBD
  • Physical shifting/archetype custom subject to change for phase 2 (iteration approach). Custom will start as light as possible, and possibly get denser as I go.

Slight recalibration needed.

Will update the plan soon.

Cycle 1 - Day 1 - Stark Black (Full Loop) 9/3/25

Starting cycle over with a loop of SB.

Gonna stick it out on SB a while longer and synergy check it with EoG ST1.

R.I.C.H isn’t “off the ground” yet, whereas SB and EoG ST1 are. In order for me to start seeing results with R.I.C.H, it’ll just take too long to get through the first recon wave.

SB also feels like it’ll be more helpful with school starting in a few weeks.

If I need to change, I’ll just take SB out, no new titles probably.

Might substitute CN HIM for Project Endgame V1 after a cycle or two to synergy check with SB

Cycle 1 - Day 3 - EoG ST1 + CN: HIM (Full Loops) 9/5/25

Feeling good guys :slight_smile: I think this is gonna be a good season for all of us.

Looking forward to trying out new Wanted next year. For now, y’all gotta have fun without me. I’m pure BUISNESS right now.

Cycle 1 - Day 4 - Rest 9/6/25

There is a chance that I will cut CN: HIM and make a LoTs custom with no direct seduction scripting to keep focus high.

Gave my number to a girl I’ve had my eyes on for a while last night, she’s beautiful, but today I was like (bro, don’t get distracted! Focus on wealth healing).

Lol, so IDK, best way is to track progress over time, right?

If I get the sense that CN: HIM is too distracting, I’ll make a new physical shifting custom. In the meantime, I’ll keep trying.

I’m not looking to date, maybe a hyper casual hook up here and there, but tbh, I’m trying to keep my energy as tight and focused as possible to get the maximum effect from Stark Black and EoG ST1.

I would definitely do that. You can have BDLM instead that gives a seduction swagger and can even support work confidence without diluting your focus. For me personally, If you trying to turn your life around financially, seduction is the number one thing that can get in the way. In my case it was this constant pull to depriotize what matter with purpose to prove something to myself with woman and feel validated as a man in that way because I had little in my life otherwise. I would highly recommend just putting the focus fully on work until your have some real cash flow and then you can open things up.

Still live life and enjoy, woman will come for other reasons you don’t need a seduction focus to have that.

Cycle 1 - Day 5 - Stark Black (Full Loop) 9/7/25

Looks like I’m finally starting to shift my identity, lol.

One of the strangest interactions just happened. Weird dude came up to me, listening to goth music, wearing a choker, and he said (direct quote): “Hey dude, I know you’re a normie, but I’ve been looking all over for a cigarette, can I buy one from you.”

I looked him up and down and silently gave him a cigarette with a nod.

He thanked me and walked away.

That’s a compliment to me, because he interpreted me as a “normie” which is code for not a weirdo. Lol

Ordinarily people like that would assume that I’m “one of them”, seems like I’m finally starting to shift from an “alternative guy” to someone of higher social status.

Small wins.

My goal isn’t to lose my individuality, no, my goal is to transcend labels entirely. I don’t want to be “part of a crowd” I want to be at the head of one.

Also, should note, no judgement by the term “weirdo” I’m talking about people who self identify as “weird.”

I used to be one of them. Now, it seems I’m shifting out of that. Pretty cool.

Also, worth noting, I’m aware that “normie” isn’t a compliment. However, I’ve seen how the term is used, and who uses it, and who it’s used against, hence not insulted lol.

Anger today, but the anger is coming more clearly into form. The anger (something I often avoid) is actually good. What the anger is, is a refusal to accept this as my life. The anger is saying, “give me a break, you’ve seen it, now do it.”

Dreams, dreams, and more dreams. Something about new EoG causes crazy dreams. I’m here for it, but just something I’ve noticed.

I think 5 cycles on EoG ST1 will make a pretty profound difference in my life.

Starting computer science degree up again in October.

Really considering changing to Marketing as my major.

Take it from someone who has worked in marketing for a long time, stay in computer science and focus on AI. There are fewer and fewer jobs for marketers partly due to AI.

Cycle 1 - Day 6 - Rest 9/8/25 Update!

Been a good day, a little emotional, but in a productive way.

Felt social anxiety for the first time in 3 years today, interesting and makes sense.

Finally back in the gym today, feels FUCKING GOOD TO MOVE IRON!

I’m inspired by women ATM, I keep seeing videos of girls doing crazy calisthenics while remaining super slim. So I’m inspired to start training my lumbering ass to do calisthenics.

Like so:

For me, it’s about 50% pure aesthetics, 50% MOVEMENT AND FLEXIBILITY. Size comes last. Shape and mobility over everything.
