NOVPUBNoan realized he was flying through a space so vast, he couldn't even begin to fathom its true scale.
All around him were countless flickering lights, and in the distance, Noan could see clouds of every imaginable color, each containing myriad stars within.
"Is this... the universe?" Noan muttered, frowning.
His gaze shifted again toward the colossal eye watching him. Noan estimated it might be larger than thousands of galaxies combined.
That eye was strange—deeply strange—but it also stirred a strange sense of familiarity in him, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
At that moment, a beam of violet light shot out from the center of the eye, streaking directly toward him.
He tried to dodge, but his body wouldn't move. The violet light struck his chest, quickly transforming into an energy that surged through his entire body.
Noan felt his body begin to change—his cells were dying off, only to be replaced by new ones.
But those new cells seemed hungry. They howled endlessly, making Noan feel deeply unsettled.
Suddenly, one of the multicolored clouds he had seen earlier drifted toward him, quickly wrapping itself around his body.
The cloud slowly seeped into his body, and as it did, the gnawing hunger faded significantly.
This state continued until the cloud eventually disappeared, allowing Noan to finally let out a breath of relief.
He could sense now that within his body, aside from his original energy source, he possessed another—a violet energy.
In fact, that violet energy was even stronger than his usual one.
"Two sources of energy—one violet, the other blue," Noan murmured. "But it seems the violet one is slightly stronger than the blue."
Suddenly, a strange stone tablet appeared before Noan, covered in mysterious symbols he had never seen before.
Yet despite his unfamiliarity with the script, Noan could feel the majesty and divinity radiating from the tablet—along with a flowing current that resembled the passage of time.
Strangely enough, he could sense the flow of time itself.
But within less than ten seconds, the tablet vanished, and Noan was once again pulled back into the real world.
"Ha!" Noan exhaled deeply, feeling his entire body brimming with energy.
"System, open my personal status window."

Noan noticed a new rank listed in his status panel—Void Rank—but its current level was 0, which took him by surprise.
"Only level 0, yet it's already stronger than my regular energy at level 5?" Noan muttered. "It seems Void energy is far superior to ordinary energy."
He truly wanted to try using Void energy right away, but this place wasn't exactly the right setting for it.
Looking around, he found the surroundings oddly altered.
His room was still intact, but when he opened the door, all that lay beyond was a dark void lit by twinkling specks of light that resembled stars.
However, with just a thought, a new door appeared before him.
Noan opened the door and found himself looking into a large room.
He stepped inside and saw Isabell standing by the window, gazing outside.
"So, what do you think of my new Territory?" Noan asked with a smile.
Isabell didn't respond—she simply kept staring into the distance. Noan walked up beside her and looked in the same direction.
Outside was a dark expanse, studded with stars and streaked with colorful clouds. Occasionally, brief flashes of light would appear and vanish.
The scene was breathtakingly beautiful, yet if one stared too long, it instilled an inexplicable sense of dread.
"It's beautiful…" Isabell suddenly said. "I didn't think I'd ever witness something like this."
Noan said nothing at first, then furrowed his brows. "I'm granting you access and management rights to the Void Tower."
"I expect you to take good care of this place. Also, I'll be returning often—so don't let it fall into chaos, understand?"
Isabell scoffed lightly at his words, shot him a sidelong glance, then returned to looking out the window.
Noan knew very well—this was the special effect of the Void Tower.
When the Void Tower was completed, knowledge about it—and how to use it—had already appeared in Noan's mind.
The Void Tower was surrounded by a layer of Void energy, rendering it invisible to ordinary creatures.
However, high-level beings were a different matter. But Noan wasn't too concerned about that.
Back when this place was merely the "Apocalypse Bunker," it had remained unharmed by the monsters lurking nearby.
Now that it had become the Void Tower, with Isabell's protection added on top, he doubted it could be easily attacked or destroyed.
Noan shook his head without saying more. He wanted to explore the other rooms to learn their functions.
But just as he was about to leave, Isabell reached out and gently grasped his arm.
"Stay here for a while," she said suddenly.
Hearing that, Noan let out a sigh, stepped back beside her, and said indifferently, "What? Want to enjoy the view with me?"
"That's right," Isabell replied with a smile. "Don't you want to?"
Noan shrugged. "Of course I do. It's just… do you really find this place beautiful?"
"I do," Isabell answered. "It's very beautiful. It reminds me of many things."
Noan didn't press further. He stood beside her and stared out into the distance.
"Have you ever loved someone?" Isabell suddenly asked.
The question caught Noan off guard, but he calmly replied, "Yes, quite a few. Currently, I'd say about three… and probably more in the future."
"Hahaha… You really can't lie, can you?" Isabell laughed. "You're so honest."
"That's right," Noan laughed too. "I'm greedy—but I'm also a coward, and selfish."
"I'm no hero. I'm just an ordinary man who wants the best of everything."
"I want beautiful women, I want fame, I want to grow stronger. I have countless desires, but they're limited by my current status."
"If I were the Emperor of the Terith Empire, I'd probably sell the whole empire just to party until I died."
"Hahaha… Hahaha…" Isabell burst into laughter—genuine and unrestrained. "You're funny. But… I like your honesty."
"I'm like you too. I also have many dreams… it's just… I don't have the ability to fulfill them."
"Heh?!" Noan raised an eyebrow. "Someone as powerful as you—are there really things you can't do?"
"Hehehe… you'll find out one day," Isabell replied cryptically.
Noan shook his head. "Alright. If you don't want to say, I won't press you. But if you ever want to become my woman, I'll try to love you."
"Ara~ Ara~ Seems like you're quite confident about that," Isabell teased. 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑝𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
"Of course. I have a lot of experience in that department," Noan said with a shrug.
Isabell looked at him for a moment, then asked softly, "Noan, have you ever felt despair?"
