One True God

Chapter 1: No regrets!

"That's...the last book?" Lucifer said as he looked at the book he was holding.

It was thick and large that most people probably wouldn't even read it.

However, Lucifer read all the letters, words, paragraphs in this book as he loved them so much.

And that was why he was disappointed.

Right next to the man was a table that had books all over it.

However, that was not all the books that were existing in this place.

Below the table that had books all over it was another pile of books.

It was strange as this place was small and cramped, but it was all thanks to Lucifer's magic that all this book was able to fit in here.

That was why when Lucifer snapped his fingers...

Snap!

...all of the books that were scattered all vanished in an instant.

However, if there were a book that didn't vanish, that would be the one he was holding in his hand right now.

Although it may seem ridiculous, Lucifer has read all the books that he has in his possession.

The books that disappeared were stored somewhere in his home; he read them all.

The books that he has already finished a long time ago and was stored away safely somewhere in his home; he read them all.

The books that have turned into dust due to time passing; he read them all.

There were so many books that Lucifer has read that it would be right to say that he has the world's knowledge.

Of course, it could easily be proven, but he didn't quite think so.

Why? It was because books are not always a reliable source and may even bring one a fake fact.

What's more, the world, Hidden, doesn't circle on Lucifer alone.

The time, people, demons, angels, and most especially, the books would certainly evolve without his knowledge.

During the time that he has spent here on his home reading all those books, many new books would surface in the world.

And because Lucifer didn't go out of home ever since he started to read books, Lucifer certainly has not read new books that have appeared.

That was why Lucifer himself doesn't believe that he has the world's knowledge.

However, if you take a few thousand years back, one could say that he is the most knowledgeable person existing in the world.

That was why he was quite happy as he has achieved the goal that he has set out to do ever since he started reading.

Right, Lucifer has been reading books for thousands of years.

However, even this achievement of his had something like a flaw.

And that was...

"It's not complete; the knowledge that I have."

For Lucifer, who basically had his time stopped in this small room, he wanted the world's knowledge for himself.

It was not just the facts but also the myths, stories, and even legends of the world.

Of course, Lucifer didn't include the modern knowledge of the world.

What he meant was the world's knowledge of the time when he started reading books.

He was fine even if his version of the world's knowledge was outdated or old.

After all, that was what he wanted.

However, even in those old days of Lucifer, there was something that he wanted to know as well.

After all, it was something that was so widespread that the world's leading figures wanted it for themselves.

And that was the myth, the legend, the power of the One True God.

However, even after reading hundreds, thousands, and millions of books, Lucifer couldn't even get a proper explanation of what is the One True God.

There was no information available, even if it was fake. That was why there were no ways to know how to become the One True God.

And that was what Lucifer wanted to know; how to become the One True God.

"One True God..."

Lucifer couldn't believe that there wasn't even a story about the One True God.

There weren't even any theories or beliefs about the One True God, which was weird as there were many beliefs in the books that Lucifer has read.

Even if the world's leading figures tried to hide the power of the One True God, there would definitely some sort of rumors circulating.

"That is indeed weird." Lucifer said as he sat back down as he tried to relax.

It has been years ever since he stood up, which was why he was feeling worn down and tired.

However, if one saw the smoothness of his skin, one wouldn't think that he was worn down.

He didn't even look like a homeless bum, even though all the time that he has was spent on reading books.

It was all thanks to his magic and all those things that he has that Lucifer could look like that.

Of course, that was just on the outside, but the situation is different on the inside.

Even Lucifer couldn't deny the muscle deterioration that his body has felt.

After all, he kept using magic on his body and getting the books that his body was essentially like that of an old man's.

"Sigh. Did I waste my time?" Lucifer said as how he thought that the time he used to read all those books was now a waste.

After all, a flaw is a flaw, and Lucifer couldn't deny that he didn't know how to become the One True God.

And now, those feelings have now turned up to become a regret.

Right, Lucifer was now feeling regret. After all, Lucifer used all his life to read all those books.

He even gave up on other things just to read them, just to obtain the world's knowledge.

However, just because of something trivial like the One True God, Lucifer's dreams and life came crumbling down.

"Knowledge, huh. What a ridiculous thing." Lucifer said as he closed his eyes.

Lucifer could feel all those years wear his body down, and he could even feel his life going out of his old body now.

Even if he does look young, all those years were real.

Lucifer was now old. And even he would die.

And it just so happened that death came when he felt the regret.

The regret of not fulfilling your dreams.

And so, Lucifer died.

...

...

...

...

...

"FUCK IT!"

Lucifer shouted as he brought back his soul.

"FUCK REGRETS! I'M GONNA WRITE IT MYSELF!"

Lucifer shouted as he forced his body to grow young.

"THE BOOK THAT WILL COMPLETE MY KNOWLEDGE!"

Lucifer shouted as he remembered the promise that he made to himself.

"I WILL BE THE ONE TRUE GOD!"

Lucifer remembered the promise of not regretting the life choice that he made.

"ONE TRUE GOD!"

The promise of finding out everything about the world!

Nothing shall stand in his way, not even the secrets of the One True God...
