The previous owner of the Miracle Cube was a farmer.
But he died shortly after being attacked by an undead.
After that, due to the Death God's curse spreading throughout the world, he turned into an undead.
Amon dismounted his horse before approaching the undead.
All the undead in the world belonged to the Death God, and he commanded all undead to hate and attack any living creature.
Without provocation, the undead approached Amon, attempting to attack him.
Since the undead had once been a weak farmer, when he was turned into an undead, he remained weak.
Amon swung his sword once, beheading and destroying it.
Without missing a second, Amon immediately grabbed the cube. As soon as his fingertip touched it, the cube instantly entered and disappeared into Amon's chest.
"Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!"
Amon laughed maniacally, like a madman.
"With this, I can become overpowered and dominate this world!"
Amon couldn't wait to try the power of the Miracle Cube.
He quickly mounted his horse again and rode back home.
On his way, he didn't encounter Ariel's carriage but instead crossed paths with Liam.
For some reason, he felt guilty when he saw Liam.
He had become a thief, taking Liam's most precious treasure.
'Huh… I'm sure he can still live happily even without the Miracle Cube. After all, Liam is a character beloved by the author. Not only does he have a harem, but he's also incredibly talented.'
Twenty minutes later, Amon arrived in the city.
The city was named Lucerion, after the clan that owned it. It was one of the largest and most magnificent cities in this world. There were many palaces everywhere, all belonging to the Lucerion Clan.
The palace in the center of the city was the main and most grand of them all, occupied by the Patriarch and the Elders.
Amon's palace was located in the eastern corner of the city, and it was the smallest. This palace wasn't as grand or majestic as the others, because Amon was a lazy and untalented person, so he was given this palace.
When he arrived at his palace, Amon saw a maid waiting to greet him.
'Earlier he left in a panic, but now he's back with a wide smile on his face. What's going on with my young master?'
The maid was puzzled as she greeted Amon.
"Welcome back, young master. Lady Ariel just arrived."
"I'm busy right now. I'll have time for her tomorrow."
The maid was shocked upon hearing what her master said.
'Usually, he'd immediately lose his dignity when it comes to Lady Ariel, but now he's acting indifferent! What's going on in my young master's head?'
"Understood, I will inform Lady Ariel."
After that, Amon went straight to his room.
This world had a medieval European backdrop, with magic and swords. However, it had an Eastern fantasy twist in its power system, which included cultivation.
No martial arts techniques in this world could be used without being cultivated first.
Even if someone could understand them perfectly, the techniques could only be used after cultivation.
From the bookshelf in his room, Amon took out a book titled Light Sword Technique and began reading it.
The Light Sword Technique was the Lucerion Clan's most prized technique. This technique allowed its user to strike with the speed of light.
It was extremely lethal. With the speed of light, a practitioner could kill their enemy before they even realized they were dead.
Only those from the main family were allowed to learn it.
After reading the book, Amon gained an understanding of the Light Sword Technique.
He then commanded the Miracle Cube to activate and began cultivating the Light Sword Technique.
At an extraordinary speed, Amon could feel every cell in his body transforming and adjusting itself to be able to use the technique.
The most talented person in the Lucerion Clan took ten years to cultivate this technique to perfection.
However, Amon, with the Miracle Cube, would cultivate the Light Sword Technique to perfection in just one day.
Here's the Miracle Cube's broken power, allowing someone to cultivate automatically and achieve perfection in an instant.
A power that could even break the balance of the world.
While waiting, Amon ate the breakfast he had left earlier.
***
The maid quickly left after delivering Amon's message to Ariel.
"What a rude and disrespectful treatment. Not only did he not welcome you, but he also asked you to wait. You must break off your engagement with this man, my lady. He's not worthy of you."
As usual, Alvis tried to provoke Ariel.
However, Ariel remained silent, deep in thought.
'What's going on with him? Normally, he'd lose all dignity and cling to me the moment I visit him. Is he trying to play hard to get so I'll think about him and pay more attention to him? Whatever it is, my goal remains the same—I'm going to break off this engagement.'

Meanwhile, Amon remained in his room, reading books.
This puzzled the maid.
'He's usually lazy and completely uninterested in studying, but now he's reading a book.'
After all, he was just an Earthling who had entered Amon's body and taken over his identity.
He was actually an introvert who enjoyed reading books during his free time.
'The literature in this world is so dull. I want to read some webnovels.'
