Chapter 31: First Tale - The Lioness of Casterly Rock! (2)
The flames darkened, and the darkness dwindled.
Kai stared at his prize, his everything. The risks he had taken to get his hands over it were nothing short of madness.
This is power, he reminded himself.
Kai had already learned the necessity of power. Without it, one shouldn’t even think of loving anyone, caring for anyone, he had concluded. Without power, there is nothing but endless suffering.
That’s why in his previous life, even though Kai had knowledge like no other, he had realized it would mean absolutely nothing without irresistible power backing it up.
And that’s why, even after resurrection, Kai had only one goal.
To reach the Peak of the Absolute Power!
Never again he wanted to see himself at the mercy of others. Never again he wanted to seek revenge but hold back because of his powerlessness.
Never again he wanted to kill someone at the cost of his life.
This ambition to stand over everyone, this Will to surpass everything, this hunger, this thirst, and these feelings turned into what one could call Extreme Emotions.
The thing that would have been impossible for most became as simple as reminding himself of his aspirations, letting Kai meet one of the Book’s most complex requirement.
