A new interface slid into view. Unlike before, the shop no longer looked like a basic list. It was cleaner now. Sleek black with soft violet edging, trimmed in quiet golden rings. At the top, a glowing icon shimmered with a faint symbol—∞
[Embodiment of Infinity: Exclusive Tier Access Granted.]
Lucian scrolled through slowly. His eyes paused on the new additions.
〓 ITEM: INFINITY-FORGED WEAPON (Awakened Tier)
A weapon made from collapsed potential. It has no true form—only the shape the user desires. Blade, scythe, spear, chain—its form changes based on thought and intent. It can channel abilities from all skill trees but works best with dimensional energy.
Bound to one user only. Cannot be destroyed, cannot be stolen. It remembers.
Lucian tapped the preview.
A thin, matte-black handle appeared in his palm, then shimmered—splitting into a twin-edge glaive, then morphed into a short blade, then snapped into a long katana. No noise. No glow. Just smooth, fluid motion.
He smirked. "You’re going to be fun."
He kept scrolling.
〓 ITEM: VOID-WEAVE COMBAT SUIT
A full-body exo-weave armor designed for stealth, durability, and energy amplification. Jet black with subtle crimson pulse lines that shift with movement. Built from starmetal fibers and interwoven with mana threads. Temperature-adaptive. Self-repairing.
Design: form-fitting, zero-collar neckline with a shadow-flow trench coat attached to the back. Knee-length, splits at the sides for movement. Boots integrated. Gauntlets thin, flexible, retractable claws optional.
Lucian selected equip.
The suit materialized like liquid shadow across his skin. It wasn’t bulky. It didn’t feel like armor. More like second skin, cool and quiet. The trench coat hung behind him like smoke, following his steps but never dragging.
"Yeah... this’ll do."
Next item.
〓 ITEM: PRIMORDIAL DRAKE EGG (Bound)
This egg is dormant but reacts to the essence of infinity. Unknown breed. Unknown growth rate. Current state: stable incubation.
You may assign mana, thoughts, or external stimuli to affect its growth.
Caution: Once hatched, bond cannot be broken.
Lucian tapped it, and the egg appeared on the table beside him.
It was about the size of a football. Obsidian black with faint glowing cracks of silver light. Warm to the touch.
He brushed a hand over it.
The surface pulsed—softly.
"...Hey there."
He didn’t smile this time. Just nodded once. This was going to be a problem and a blessing. But he wasn’t afraid of either.
The last item in the exclusive section hovered alone—larger than the rest.
〓 ITEM: INFINITY-CLASS MOTHERSHIP – [NOVA SANCTUM]

Lucian stared at it.
"...You’re kidding."
[Summon permission?]
He hesitated.
Then smirked.
"Not yet."
The screen folded shut with a gentle swipe. The room returned to normal, but nothing felt normal anymore.
He stood there for a while. One hand on the egg. The other resting on the hilt of his new weapon.
A few weeks left.
He wouldn’t waste them.
This time... his sister wasn’t going to die.
