Curiosity took over me and I soon opened the content about Equalante.
[Equalant]
One of the Absolutes together with the Divine.
His characteristics fall into the Leadership of Cultivators, those who follow him become capable of establishing a mental and spiritual connection that provides the perfect momentum to cultivate one or more of the 7 chaotic energies of the universe.
This connection allows the Equalant to cultivate the same energies as his followers.
Example: A follower of the Warrior path allows the Equalant to cultivate Aura.
When I read this, I directed my gaze to Reina who was still sleeping next to me. She was a Warrior and my Warrior path had grown, the System must recognize her as my follower.
That thought alone was comforting and terrifying. They were partners, our romantic relationship put us on the same level, but the System recognized her as a follower, placing her below me.
A growing fear arose in me, the idea of the person I love just being a tool for my growth made me feel like I was becoming someone like my father.
Trying to forget this premise, I continued reading the library's contents.
[Diviner]
Unlike the Equalant that generates over the mind and spirit of its followers, the Diviner establishes a connection of body and spirit with its companions.
Through the sacred ritual, the Diviner shares his primordial energy with his companions, enhancing cultivation to the maximum.
The relationship is reciprocal, providing the companion's primordial energies to the Divine for cultivation.
Example: A Warrior Path companion allows the Diviner to cultivate Aura.
Despite being different, the core of Equalant and Divinante seemed like two sides of the same coin. They existed to grow the cultivation of the ways of others while also growing through that relationship.
[ The game ]
The death of the last patron marks the restart of the game, every 100 thousand years.
The absolute must collect patrons on their journey to increase their chances in the final competition.
The winner of the game is entitled to one wish.
The library as expected was a repository of knowledge. I could use it to study the techniques and skills I already knew, as well as knowledge gained from being the Equalant.
Understanding a little of what was happening didn't help anything, it only confirmed that I was once again under someone's plans.
Anger and relief mixed in my heart. Even though being subject to someone's whims was infuriating, knowing that this was probably a long journey brought a sense of calm.
I had not become immortal by any means, but my path was too early to end here.
Due to the game cycle and the longevity of these patrons, I will have plenty of time to give Reina my best.
I will never be like my father who uses those he should protect for his own gains.

Currently my understanding was active at the first level of the manual, a gift for awakening with the Equalant. After reading the description I started reading the technique itself and understood that it was not easy to understand.
For now it was enough for Reina and me to practice, before I had no prospects in life and she was a Fool. A new world was opening up in front of us.
After a brief analysis of the manual I decided to continue my exploration of the System.

Purchase points are acquired for quests and for each star and circle that followers reach.
Taking into account that I don't know how difficult the quests are and followers need to get stronger to acquire buy points makes them a scarce resource.
The question was also how many levels Reina had surpassed.
Thinking about this, I watched her adorable face still sleeping next to me. She was my passport to life long before what just happened.
I will do everything to make sure she has the life she deserves, I will protect and spoil her as much as I can for the rest of my life.
Reina is and will always be the most important person in the world to me.
But even though I thought all this, I wasn't prepared for what was to come.
[Followers]
Reina / Reina Diviner: Girlfriend (temporary status);
I froze, not knowing how to react.
The System had explained that Divinante and Equalante are opponents in the game. So I expected the Diviner to be someone like me, unable to cultivate. But Reina was clearly a Jerk before all this happened.
Whoever runs the game must have a twisted sense of humor. He gave me hope only to turn the most important person in my life against me.
Fear took over me and all I could do at that moment was tremble, my body lost control and began to have violent spasms that ended up waking Reina from her peaceful dreams.
