After reaching the maximum level, my "soft rice system" finally arrived.

"The rare minerals and resources existing in this dimension..."

"And the survivors' goodwill towards me, etc."

.......

"certainly--"

Charles paused slightly in his speech.

"All of the reasons above are merely logical pretexts that I have found in my mental ocean to put your mind at ease."

"They may represent my one-sided thoughts and emotions, but they cannot determine my true self."

"I do these things for the world because I want to—"

"That's all."

A slight smile appeared on Charles's lips.

There's an old saying in my hometown...

"It's called 'A thousand pieces of gold can't buy my happiness'."

"I studied arcane arts day and night, constantly striving to become stronger..."

"It's because I want to have the power to put into reality anytime I encounter something I want to do."

"So, in reality, there aren't that many reasons or conflicts of interest."

"I was happy to do it, so I did it..."

.......

"This is my complete answer to the questions you raised."

Charles looked at the black-haired, golden-eyed Twilight Witch before him and walked step by step to her side.

"Frankly speaking, if we want to truly complete the 'pseudo-star,' we must rely on your power."

"Although this dimension has some similarities to my original world, perhaps due to the Great Cataclysm, there are considerable differences in both the laws of the plane and many detailed rules."

“You wield considerable power over the world, which can just make up for my unfamiliarity with the laws of this plane.”

"Besides, if I really were to light a new sun for this world... with your sense of responsibility, you wouldn't feel at ease if you didn't participate personally, would you?"

"So--"

Ciel stared directly into Renata's pale golden eyes.

Then, he extended his right hand.

"It might take several months, or even half a year..."

“To create a star from scratch that can illuminate an entire plane, even if it is only a simulation, will be an extremely arduous process.”

"Perhaps, even with our strength, we will collapse due to the excessive depletion of our mental energy."

"However, I can promise that no matter what happens, I will definitely complete this procedure."

"so......"

Would you like to join this program?

.......

Renata leaned back slightly, looking at the black-haired, black-eyed wizard in front of her.

Everything about him is shrouded in mystery and the unknown.

It came into this world without any warning.

In a very short period of time, it brought about earth-shattering changes to the world.

Immediately afterwards——

He then pushed open the gates of his palace, which had been sealed for two hundred years, and appeared before him in a flurry of activity.

Then, he described to himself a grand and magnificent vision—

Light up a new sun.

This grand idea seems a bit too fantastical.

So much so that for a moment, it was hard to believe the feasibility of the idea.

only--

Renata gazed at the model of a star drawn with magic between Ciel's fingers.

This world without light—

Will there ever be a day when we are illuminated by the light again...?

But if that day really comes—

That self that has always lived to atone for sins.

Then you'll be qualified to pursue...

That's the life that belongs to me now.

"May I have your name?"

Pale gold runes were drawn out in mid-air.

"Charles Egger".

Ciel...

That's really a... nice-sounding name.

At this moment, Renata felt as if she had returned to the afternoon garden before the Great Cataclysm, a garden bathed in a pale golden sunlight.

"Renata, this is the name I racked my brains to come up with for you."

"It sounds nice, right... People with nice-sounding names are generally not bad people, and their luck is usually not too bad either..."

The mother, whose image was now blurred, held the then-young Renata in her arms, sitting on a somewhat dilapidated swing and swaying gently.

"The people from the church just said that you will become a saint with a bright future, revered by the world and countless believers. Your father and the others are very happy."

"But actually, I don't like you like that..."

"As your mother, all I wish for is for you to grow up safe and sound, and happily..."

"And if you encounter danger and are trapped in a quagmire, it would be wonderful if there was a member of the opposite sex who could pull you out of the abyss."

"I fell in love with him because your father saved me from a group of bandits. This is the happiness of my life."

"Little Renata..."

She gently stroked the little girl's head.

"Hopefully one day..."

"You too will encounter your own happiness..."

......

It belongs to me...

Are you happy?

The Twilight Witch's innermost thoughts vanished along with those blurred fragments of memory.

She reached out and gently placed her hand on Charles's right hand.

The fingers of that hand were long and slender, with delicate and distinct knuckles.

A gentle warmth emanated from his fingertips...

Chapter Sixty: I Created a 7k Star During a Live Stream

The Western Continent, the City of Arcane Arts.

Inside the towering black tower, wizards dressed in jet-black robes came and went.

Although named the Tower of Extreme Darkness, the Black Tower, which is a sacred place in the hearts of spellcasters across the continent, is not just a tall tower.

Even the Shadow Council knows to set up dedicated subspaces in their strongholds... and when it comes to the control of spatial laws, who on the continent can compare to the Black Tower?

Space-time magic is a specialized school of wizardry within the Black Tower.

Humans, elves, dragons...

Through generations of great arcane mages and legendary spellcasters, this stronghold of wizards has been transformed into a magnificent and splendid kingdom.

Countless subplanes, subspaces, and secondary dimensions are folded and curled up within the Black Tower.

Inside the Black Tower, many seemingly ordinary wooden doors may actually be the gateways to another dimension, leading to a self-contained little world.

If the area of ​​all these spaces were taken into account, the sheer size of the Black Tower's interior would be comparable to that of a real kingdom.

At the very beginning of the Black Tower's construction, some foolish thieves broke into the Black Tower in an attempt to steal the books from the Great Library.

As a result, the thief got lost in the complex spatial structure inside the Black Tower and ended up in the ranch world where the Beast Taming School raised high-level magical beasts. He slid in and became digestive food in the stomach of a high-level magical beast.
