Infinite Mage

Canis: "I can’t understand. Why would you make such a deal? I get that the Manager of Ingris can’t interfere with heaven’s affairs. But you also follow the laws, right? Selling lifespans to a heretic isn’t a normal duty, is it?"

The Manager blinked blankly.

Manager: "You’re very direct. Usually, people pretend not to know these things. Anyway, fine. I have the ability to acquire concepts, which is why I was put in charge of Ingris’ library. For tens of thousands of years. What do you think that means? I can’t do anything here. That’s why I need words. To escape this place."

It was an absurd claim. But theoretically, it wasn’t impossible.

A Mara’s lifespan was close to immortality. Though it was unclear how much time she had left, collecting words would eventually allow her to achieve her goal.

Canis: "You’re trying to become the Akashic Records yourself."

Manager: "Hoho! Exactly! While controlling information here, I realized it. I could become a god too. But there’s one thing missing! I erased all information about leaving this place. I need to fill that in! That’s why heretics are my main customers. If I can just leave here, I’ll become greater than Ra!"

Harvest spoke through the mental channel.

Canis, this woman is dangerous.

Canis also thought she was a bit unhinged.

Someday, she might collect enough words to complete the Akashic Records, but no one knew when that would be.

Of course, he could understand her feelings.
