I spent the next month in that secluded space, and the silence became familiar, almost comforting. Every corner of the realm had been explored, every stone turned over, every lake of Essence studied until I could sense the smallest ripple blindfolded.
Now I stood in front of the simple table and chair where the book waited for me. The sign beside it still carried the same message in neat handwriting: Only for the Executor :)
I exhaled slowly.
In this month, I had combed the entire place clean. I refined my laws until they felt sharper and easier to control, polished my skills, experimented with combinations, and pushed my domain to a stable and almost complete form. The only thing left for me here was ranking up.
But before that… I wanted to know about this book. The being hinted that it held answers, and I wasn't going to walk away without reading it.
I pulled the chair back and sank into it. The book felt warm against my palms as I opened the cover.
