Success is defined as becoming a bizarre tale.

Monstrous tales, feasting on cognition, armed with information, and trading in secrets. Neither living nor inanimate, they exist in human rumors, dwelling in the shadow of the world. "Does that mean I will become a monstrous tale?" In ancient times, they were revered as deities, deriving strength from faith. "Then I shall be a god!" In more recent times, they were feared as demons, feeding off terror. "I will be the master of monstrous tales!" But as the tides of time washed over them, they gradually faded away, leaving behind only words dismissed as delusions. "Rekindle the glory of monstrous tales, we must not shirk our responsibility." But you are not yet a monstrous tale, hmm, nor are you human. "Well then, I shall consider it a success to become a monstrous tale."
