Chapter 1: No regrets! (1/2)

”That's...the last book?” Lucifer said as he looked at the book he was holding.

It was thick and large that most people probably wouldn't even read it.

However, Lucifer read all the letters, words, paragraphs in this book as he loved them so much.

And that was why he was disappointed.

Right next to the man was a table that had books all over it.

However, that was not all the books that were existing in this place.

Below the table that had books all over it was another pile of books.

It was strange as this place was small and cramped, but it was all thanks to Lucifer's magic that all this book was able to fit in here.

That was why when Lucifer snapped his fingers...

Snap!

...all of the books that were scattered all vanished in an instant.

However, if there were a book that didn't vanish, that would be the one he was holding in his hand right now.

Although it may seem ridiculous, Lucifer has read all the books that he has in his possession.

The books that disappeared were stored somewhere in his home; he read them all.

The books that he has already finished a long time ago and was stored away safely somewhere in his home; he read them all.

The books that have turned into dust due to time passing; he read them all.

There were so many books that Lucifer has read that it would be right to say that he has the world's knowledge.

Of course, it could easily be proven, but he didn't quite think so.

Why? It was because books are not always a reliable source and may even bring one a fake fact.

What's more, the world, Hidden, doesn't circle on Lucifer alone.

The time, people, demons, angels, and most especially, the books would certainly evolve without his knowledge.

During the time that he has spent here on his home reading all those books, many new books would surface in the world.

And because Lucifer didn't go out of home ever since he started to read books, Lucifer certainly has not read new books that have appeared.

That was why Lucifer himself doesn't believe that he has the world's knowledge.

However, if you take a few thousand years back, one could say that he is the most knowledgeable person existing in the world.

That was why he was quite happy as he has achieved the goal that he has set out to do ever since he started reading.

Right, Lucifer has been reading books for thousands of years.

However, even this achievement of his had something like a flaw.

And that was...

”It's not complete; the knowledge that I have.”

For Lucifer, who basically had his time stopped in this small room, he wanted the world's knowledge for himself.

It was not just the facts but also the myths, stories, and even legends of the world.

Of course, Lucifer didn't include the modern knowledge of the world.

What he meant was the world's knowledge of the time when he started reading books.

He was fine even if his version of the world's knowledge was outdated or old.

After all, that was what he wanted.

However, even in those old days of Lucifer, there was something that he wanted to know as well.

After all, it was something that was so widespread that the world's leading figures wanted it for themselves.

And that was the myth, the legend, the power of the One True God.

However, even after reading hundreds, thousands, and millions of books, Lucifer couldn't even get a proper explanation of what is the One True God.

There was no information available, even if it was fake. That was why there were no ways to know how to become the One True God.

And that was what Lucifer wanted to know; how to become the One True God.
