The book penetrated completely into Maximus' arm and he heard a voice in his head talking to him.

  'Is that your voice, book? You were alive from the beginning.'

  [It seems that my message reached you so you came very quickly. I was longing to see you...]

  'Is there a specific reason behind this or is it subconscious?'

  The Book of Knowledge was silent for a moment to choose its words carefully to deliver its reason as quickly as possible.

  Maximus also waited eagerly for what the book would talk about.

  [I will tell you a short story first and then I will touch on the main topic. It will help you understand what is happening easily.]

  'Hurry up and tell me. I want to know what you want to say.'

  [I was just an ordinary book that my owner used as a blog for his research and discoveries over the years. This continued until he formed an artificial gate leading to other worlds, and as soon as he passed through the gate, I was brought to life. My owner was a kind person and a passionate researcher with unquenchable curiosity. He moved from one world to another, learned everything he could learn from its inhabitants, and recorded it all in my pages. Our journey lasted for hundreds of years until he found a way to push the boundaries of his abilities on that fateful day...]

  The book was silent for a while without a word. It is as if he was recalling memories that he too did not want to remember. Maximus understood this as well, having gone through a similar situation before.

  [I apologize for stopping by; he found a way to transcend by combining his prolific knowledge to create a technique that transcended logic. He succeeded, but it did not go as he wanted to, and then he lost his mind as he saw things he should not have seen...]

  'What did he see? Don't stop at the sensitive moment.'

  [He saw his destiny and future, he saw even his death. I tried to help him but it did not work. He sealed this technique within me and I was able to see what he saw too. I saw the world's itinerary and the flow of time as well as the thread of my destiny. My destiny is closely connected to both you and my former owner.]

  'This is new to me, can I see that too?'

  The book did not talk but unsealed the technique that activated itself inside Maximus, who disappeared in an instant.

  'What is this place?'

  A pitch-black place. There was not the slightest glare from any direction, as if the vision was obscured... The vision began to become clearer and the veil gradually disappeared, revealing what the book was talking about previously. He saw a thread of his destiny connecting his heart to the course of the world, and there was something very strange about it. It was torn somewhere and then reconnected, he realized that it was because of his return in time that he replaced his former self in this time.

  "The book didn't lie; the fate of both of us is connected. In addition to this long thread..."

  A thread similar to the other two threads stretched from Maximus' heart and stretched as if it were endless. It is the third party in the big puzzle.

  "Why can't I see my destiny? Is something wrong?"

  He began to think of an answer, but he did not know anything, everything he saw now is completely outside the logic he was accustomed to all his life. A voice from afar approaching Maximus, the sound of the book.

  [Finally I found you!! You wonder about your inability to see your destiny. That is because you went back in time; you completely ruined the old future. I, too, could not see my destiny anymore.]

  Black spiral. No, it was like a black hole that sucked Maximus and the book and tossed them where they were inside the ruins.

  This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

  Neither of them was hurt but the sensation is bizarre.

  'What-What was that thing a little while ago?'

  [He is the guardian of the timeline of the world; his job is to prevent external interference protecting the entire timeline from being destroyed. I will continue where I was before. My former owner is #### of the #### world... I cannot pronounce his name. Most importantly, he has turned to the side of evil and his goal is to destroy all worlds in order to break free from his inevitable destiny, and your world is his main target. You must become stronger to be able to eliminate him.]

  Maximus felt desperate as soon as he remembered his inability to fight. The title of 'observer' still follows him and he will not be able to break free from it.

  'But I am an observer, I cannot intervene so what is the point of becoming stronger?'

  [You got one thing right but you got another wrong. You are right that you cannot intervene except that my former owner is in a similar situation. He is also an observer and cannot intervene directly.]

  'This gives us a chance to succeed!! That has not given me the answer I want yet. How will I benefit from increasing my strength?'

  [Observers are tied to the threads of fate and unable to intervene in the affairs of the world as the price of knowing the truth, but they can confront each other. This is your goal, O heavenly sorcerer.]

  A clear path appeared for Maximus after he was approaching the unknown without the slightest information. He breathed a sigh of relief and felt a tremendous load removed from his shoulders, he felt that most of his worries had faded.

  [If a person were given a box with his greatest fears, would he open it or not? Probably he would not dare to open it, but there are exceptions. Despite this, they are all the same, they all felt remorse. They could not face reality. You opened the box, Sorcerer, be careful not to regret your decision.]

  'Thank you for warning, book of knowledge. I was afraid, afraid of the unknown; I did not have a clear goal. Now that I have made another one so I will not regret this decision.'

  [If you lose your goal, hurry up and do something else, a man without a goal is a danger to himself and others. After all, it is your decision and you have done it willingly. I will try to help you with what I can.]

  Maximus began to think about his next step after setting his goal, time is more than enough but there are many things to do. He passed through the ruins rooms smoothly, heading towards the exit after he had done the required... He reached the exit easily and took a deep breath, his mind became clear again as he set his next goal.

  Moments before he set off, he noticed a strange mark on the back of his left hand... Is it a strange symbol? No, quite the opposite. It was very familiar; it is a symbol of one of the constellations.

  For Maximus, who possessed various knowledge thanks to the book, he realized that it was the symbol of the constellation of the serpent. A snake wrapped around itself in the center of a violet ring decorated with several shapes, the most important of which were the stars, which were 14 stars.

  Maximus was not so surprised by the tattoo itself as he was by the number of stars on the ring.

  [You certainly know what this tattoo is.]

  Maximus, who was half-wandering, listened to the words of the book perfectly.

  'It's a tattoo that star weapon owners get after they wrap up their adventure in this world. Do you know why I suddenly got this tattoo and what's wrong with that number of stars?'

  Many laughs inside Maximus' head, it was the book that now inhabits his mind. The sound was more like a bee's buzz than a laughter. The book stopped laughing and then responded to its new owner.

  [I will answer your second question and you yourself will answer the first. The number of stars indicates the value and abilities of the weapon. In Shuran, the shrine of heroes, there are dozens of weapons that once belonged to the heroes of previous generations. With each new generation, new weapons are formed to match the abilities, achievements, and capabilities of each of the heroes. The highest score is 10 stars. The constellation in the tattoo is related to the nature and abilities of the item, the snake is the rarest as it is associated with knowledge. Presumably, you have realized the answer by now.]

  After these words, Maximus was certain of the truth and origin of the tattoo. In addition, he spoke in a cold tone.

  'So it's you... Did you know this from the beginning?'

  The book was silent for a moment, for he himself was looking for a clear answer to this question. Maximus set out for the sky and flew at near-sonic speeds a hundred meters from the ground towards the gate to return and finish many stuck matters.

  [Honestly, I also did not know about this thing because it never happened to me before. I think it only happened because the conditions of the Star Weapon were met. Try calling me to make sure.]

  Even in the past, Maximus did not get a star weapon because he never contributed to the fight following the influence of the curse of truth, it was a new experience for him but he had seen his comrades do it countless times and understood how. He did the same way of thinking about the shape of the star weapon he saw before merging with it and would be summoned in front of its owner.

  "Come on, show."

  The Book of Knowledge appeared in Maximus' left hand and he remained confused as he continued to fly towards the gate...
