After going upstairs, Daniel searched for the room with the matching number on the token. Once he found it, he entered and looked around.
It wasn’t very big, but not exactly small either. He could sense the presence of various arrays in the room.
"Wait, these aren’t arrays," he frowned. He tried to examine them using his spiritual senses to understand what kind of formations they were, but quickly realized they weren’t formations at all.
He frowned again but decided to ignore them for now after a bit of thinking. He sat cross-legged on the floor.
The only reason he had come here was to comprehend the Law of Death. He sent his awareness into his spiritual sea and focused on the Death Tablet that was resting there.
"So how do I even comprehend this?" Daniel murmured to himself. It was his first time, and honestly, he had no idea what to do or how it even worked.
He tapped the tablet lightly, hoping something would happen, but nothing did. He tried to focus on it—and still, nothing happened.
In the end, he injected a bit of his spiritual power into it, and the tablet suddenly began to tremble. Before he could react, a massive amount of knowledge rushed into his mind.
Daniel’s mind began to process and understand the knowledge. He found himself submerged in it completely, as if he were experiencing it firsthand.
What is death? Where does it come from? How did it begin? Why does it exist?
Death is not the enemy of life. Death is not an end—it’s a boundary. Life without death has no meaning. Because something that never ends holds no value.
The Law of Death doesn’t kill. It takes. Not because it’s cruel, but because it guards balance. Death is the keeper of balance. Everything that is created must die to make room for what’s next.
Death is like pruning shears—it cuts off the rotten branches so new ones can grow. Death is not blind justice; it’s aware.
The Law of Death makes no distinction between king or beggar, child or elder, human or god. Even deities fear it, because Death is the final law—beyond title and power.
Death is not time. But time is death’s servant. Every second, death comes closer.
Time is death’s sword. And memories are its footprints. And in the end… death is not the end of the individual, but the end of connection.
The end of the bond between soul and body, matter and energy, sound and echo.
Time passed slowly, and with every moment, Daniel gained a deeper understanding of death.
Even though he didn’t notice it himself, the more he comprehended the Law of Death, the stronger his Death Body became.
[ You have successfully comprehended the Supreme Law of Death ]
[ Current comprehension: 1% ]
Seconds, minutes, and even hours went by as he continued to immerse himself in understanding the Law of Death.
But then suddenly, he noticed the knowledge flowing from the tablet into his mind had stopped.
His mind processed the last piece of knowledge, and he managed to comprehend another percentage of the supreme law.
"Why did it stop all of a sudden?" Daniel frowned and stared at the tablet. But it didn’t take long for him to notice himself.
His entire body was almost decayed—he looked like a skeleton. He didn’t feel any pain, but it was as if all his flesh and blood had melted away, leaving only skin and bone.
"Side effects of comprehending the Law of Death?" He frowned and immediately used Mana Healing to heal himself.
Unlike usual, the skill worked very slowly, but he eventually managed to fully recover.
"I didn’t expect something like this," Daniel sighed. He had never expected comprehending a law could be dangerous.
But it seemed like he had underestimated everything. It made sense though—if anyone could comprehend supreme laws without limit, wouldn’t it just be a matter of time before everyone mastered them?
However, he still didn’t know how these limits worked.
After that, Daniel checked the System Mother notifications.
[ You have successfully comprehended 2% of the Supreme Law of Death ]
[ Death Body strength increased ]
[ Warning: You have reached the comprehension limit. Reach Rank B to continue comprehending. ]
Just as he expected, his comprehension was only 2%. He had no reference to know whether 2% was good or not.
Then he looked at the warning—exactly as expected, he had reached the limit for now and couldn’t comprehend any further.
He sighed, but didn’t care too much. Even that 2% was enough to boost his power significantly.
After that, he turned his attention to the technique he had bought for a million gold coins and took it out from his inventory.
Before opening the book, he checked the token to see if he still had time left. Fortunately, he still had about three hours.
He opened the technique manual and began reading. The sentences were complex and hard to understand at first, but it didn’t take long for him to grasp it fully.
[ You have successfully learned the technique: Indestructible Star Body ]
[ Rank: A ]
[ Comprehension Level: 1 ]
[ Description: Allows you to enhance your physical body by absorbing the power of stars. The higher the comprehension level, the stronger the stars and the greater the power you can gain. ]
After briefly reading the description, Daniel activated the technique without hesitation—and suddenly, his surroundings changed.
He found himself in a starry sky, surrounded by countless stars.
"So that’s how it works," he whispered quietly and closed his eyes.
He could feel his body begin to absorb invisible energy from the stars like a magnet.
The unknown energy entered his body and began refining his organs, bones, and even his flesh and skin.
To his surprise, Daniel realized that even his blood wasn’t left out—it was being refined as well. He could feel a massive flow of power running through his body.
His physical strength was skyrocketing with explosive growth.
He was amazed. Is this really the power of an A-rank technique? He seriously doubted even an S-rank technique could have this much effect.
But he wasn’t complaining. As long as it made him stronger, it was fine.
Seconds, minutes, and hours passed like that—until he finally felt he had reached the peak of what he could achieve for now and hit a bottleneck.
He deactivated the technique and found himself back in his Mental Mansion.
He raised his hand and threw a punch with all his strength into the air. To his surprise, the air trembled, creating a small gust of wind strong enough to push a 200-kilogram creature.
Not only that, but he could feel the power of the stars inside his body.
