Chapter 501 The Forbidden Library, The Academic World (6)
for murphy and gray, the most appealing thing about this bookshelf was that it was surrounded by numerous bookshelves naming different things regarding curses.
there were shelves with books about understanding them, how to perform them, what they were, and so on. but in the middle of all those was one solitary shelf that housed only three types of books, with dozens of copies each. moreover, these books didn't seem to have an author, or at least it wasn't specified on the cover of the book.
that would naturally attract their attention.
but matthew was looking at something else.
he didn't hesitate to move forward and grab the first book. he had seen that name a short time ago.
seeing matthew grab that one, gray and murphy were somehow tempted to grab it, too.
matthew paid no attention to them. he focused his attention on the book.
'if i'm not mistaken, this book must be concerning my father.' he thought.
he immediately opened it without wasting any time.
on the other side of the cover, there was a blank page with only a few words in the middle.
-your love for dietrich will pay off.
'this again? now that i remember, i have to read volume 2 of that thing... i'd forgotten about it.' he thought. still, it was curious to find these words that appeared in dietrich's road book again.
that's why he couldn't help but open the next pages.
what was before him was not just any story.
or, rather, it was a part of a biography, perhaps.
-the father of power.
everyone in this world must agree on one thing: there is only one man capable of receiving that name: the great dietrich or 'the dietrich'. experience more on empire
someone without a name? maybe. but it is much more than that.
the power system of this world is amazingly precise but strangely linear. it has always been and may never cease to be, as it was possibly born with the universe. the first inhabitants called this system the numerical power system because of what it implies.
still, was that all? is the power system really so linear?
history showed us that, yes, the power system is linear. but it is not that simple.
the simplicity that everyone boasted of understanding ended when an enigmatic man appeared, whose wisdom was so great that he could unlock the secrets of the universe.
the father of power, the dietrich.
he did not notice the astonished and shocked expressions of the two powerful men beside him.
the second book, the broad behind the 150,000 barrier: the first step, started with the same blank page and the same saying as before.
but this one was about something different.
it was a glimpse of what a person would encounter when they took the step to reach 150,000 power.
-immortality.
perhaps that is what attracts the most vampires who want to reach 150,000 power. after all, there are rumors that behind that amount of power, that is what lies behind it.
who wouldn't want to be immortal? who wouldn't want to live forever?
but reality is harsh for those who believe in unsubstantiated rumors.
there is no immortality behind the 150,000 of power.
it is simply where you begin to live and understand the true meaning of 'power'.
yes, you will live longer. but those are just side effects, and it doesn't mean you won't die. even gods die; who do you think you are not to die?
still, if you want me to answer if immortality exists... yes, it does. and it is possible to have it.
or it was, a long time ago.
but it is no longer possible.
if you want to know why, revive the father of power and ask him why immortality disappeared.
the 150,000 power is just that: first step to power: your first step to greatness.
our vampire power system has many names, but the one i like to use the most is: the path to greatness.
good luck understanding it, vampire.
it was a spicy introduction that left matthew unable to continue reading.
there was... a lot of information to process.
