Capítulo 11: chapter 11
Lith couldn't hide his excitement as he opened the Book of Infinity, eager to see what the system had to reveal. The book seemed ancient yet strangely alive, with its pages shifting and shimmering with letters that looked like they were written in a language born from stars and magic. Each symbol seemed to dance, rearranging itself, almost as if it held secrets beyond comprehension.
On the first page, in bold, mesmerizing letters, was the word Status. Lith felt a rush of anticipation as he looked down at the words written in shifting ink. The language was different from the Book of Fate, something older, stranger—symbols that seemed both familiar and alien at the same time.
He read the details, his eyes widening slightly:

Lith blinked, momentarily speechless as he saw the infinity symbols next to all his main attributes. He couldn't help but let out a groan, running his hand through his hair. "Are you serious, System? You gave me a gift to absorb power, but I'm already maxed out? That's like getting a bottomless drink and then finding out you can't get thirsty!"
The system's voice chimed in, unperturbed. "Ding. Host is indeed at infinite capacity in all primary attributes. However, the Essence Devourer still allows for absorption of memories, abilities, and skills."
Lith let out a sigh of relief, grinning a bit. "So I'm not completely overpowered to the point of uselessness, huh? Good to know. And it's not like I'm finding excuses to make the gift sound better," he muttered, feigning indignation. "Definitely not."
Satisfied with his examination, Lith closed the book and turned his attention to Hana. She stood nearby, her gaze soft but distant, as if contemplating her place in this strange world they were now bound to. Lith couldn't help but feel curious. Her son, the arrogant boy he had defeated, was gone, yet she seemed... calm. He decided to probe.
"Hana," Lith began, tilting his head with a slightly teasing smile, "I've gotta ask… I killed your son. If it were any other mother, I'd expect them to be clawing at my throat by now. But you… instead of revenge, you chose to stand by my side. Heck, you even—" He coughed, his cheeks coloring slightly as he thought of last night. "You even spent the night with me."
Hana looked at him with a steady gaze, her eyes holding a mixture of sorrow and relief. "He was not truly my son," she replied, her voice calm but tinged with bitterness. "He… he killed my husband and my brother. His greed and arrogance led to their deaths." Her expression softened, as though a weight had been lifted from her soul. "I could no longer see him as my child. You freed me from his shadow."
Lith nodded, feeling a surprising pang of sympathy. "That guy was definitely greedy and arrogant," he muttered, recalling Kazuki's scornful words and ambitions.
Then his gaze drifted back to Hana, taking in her striking features and the graceful lines of her face. The memories of last night lingered, and he found himself smiling a bit more mischievously. "You know," he murmured, his voice dropping as he drew closer to her, "there's something we didn't quite finish this morning."
Without another word, he pulled her into a warm embrace, catching her off guard. Before Hana could react, Lith had already teleported them back to his bedroom in the citadel, a grand, elegant space that held traces of both magic and mystery.
The rest of the day was filled with laughter, conversation, and shared moments of vulnerability. Lith, for all his cosmic power and untold potential, found himself feeling like a young man exploring the simple joys of companionship and connection.

Later that evening, Lith stood in the grand hall once more, a confident grin on his face as he gazed upon the citadel and his future. Holding the Book of Infinity in his hand, he felt his power, his purpose, and his potential coalescing into something profound. The system whispered faintly in his mind, reminding him of all he had yet to achieve and explore.
The universe was vast, filled with realms, challenges, and possibilities. And with his powers, the citadel at his side, and his growing bond with Hana, Lith knew he was just getting started.
With a deep breath, he closed his eyes, feeling the ancient energy of the citadel hum in harmony with his own, and he allowed himself a single thought, a mantra that resonated through his soul.
"This is only the beginning."
