Anos stood on the Infinity Ship's deck with his hands behind his back, quietly listening to Celeste explain the ship's advanced capabilities.
The vessel, a marvel of technology, had cost tens of billions of Beris, and Celeste introduced its features in detail, including specifications that went far beyond Anos' understanding. However, he could tell the ship was cutting-edge.
What intrigued him most was its ability to move invisibly and its nuclear-powered propulsion, which was undeniably impressive.
After Celeste's explanation, Anos smiled faintly. "Understood," he said.
As Celeste mentioned, the ship's route to the Tru Kingdom passed directly through the Calm Belt.
The journey would take just over five days. However, there was one glaring issue: the ship lacked food supplies.
This inconvenience dampened Anos' enthusiasm slightly, but with so many advanced features, he decided not to dwell on minor imperfections.
The Infinity Ship advanced smoothly, its systems automatically detecting and adjusting to obstacles ahead.
Unlike traditional sailing ships, the journey was remarkably stable, with almost no sensation of motion.
It felt as if they were walking on solid ground, even in the cabin.
Exploring the ship, Anos noted its design a three-level hull with nearly fifty rooms. Each detail, from the upper deck to the lower cabin, was meticulously crafted and exuded elegance.
Leaving the control room, he stepped onto the outer deck, where Abona stood, gazing out at the sea breeze. Anos approached and sat beside him.
"What's on your mind?" Anos asked, noticing Abona's distant expression.
"Nothing much," Abona replied calmly. "Just feels like I've lost my direction."
"Lost your direction?" Anos echoed. "You haven't set a goal for yourself yet. For instance, why not aim to become the world's greatest swordsman or chase some other dream?"
Abona shook his head. "I have no interest in meaningless titles. Why chase empty recognition?"
Anos smiled, patting his shoulder. "Then find a reason don't let your sword down. Let it guide your path." Rising, Anos walked to the edge of the deck, watching the sea rush by as the ship sped forward.
Its velocity was incomparable to any sail-driven vessel.
Abona remained seated, reflecting on Anos' words. He glanced at the supreme-grade sword Dawn resting across his lap, a gift from Anos.
For the first time, a flicker of emotion softened his otherwise impassive eyes.

That evening, Anos was alone in his quarters. Lying on the bed, he leaned against the headboard and entered the system space in his mind.
He hadn't yet examined the membership gift package he'd earned after investing a fortune. Now, with a rare moment of leisure, he was eager to see what it contained.
A red gift box hovered in the system space, radiating an aura of anticipation. Anos approached it, his curiosity piqued. "Open the membership gift package," he commanded.
As the box opened, it dissolved into light, and a large blue screen appeared:
"Congratulations! Membership gift package contents: Spiritual power level +3, Conqueror's Haki upgraded by one level, Armament Haki upgraded by one level, Observation Haki upgraded by one level, and all other abilities enhanced by one level."
Reading this, Anos' breathing quickened. His heartbeat raced as he processed the upgrades.
This improvement equated to a decade of rigorous training condensed into an instant. His strength had surged to new heights, and he couldn't believe his eyes.
"Integrate these abilities," Anos commanded without hesitation.
The process was seamless, with no physical sensation accompanying the fusion.
When it was complete, Anos exited the system space and began to test his newfound powers. His enhanced spiritual strength sharpened his senses, heightening his hearing and vision to extraordinary levels.
Standing in the centre of his room, he focused on his Haki. With a single thought, Armament Haki enveloped his body, coating even his clothes in a sleek black sheen.
It was a far cry from his previous abilities. The sheer strength he now possessed felt insurmountable, as if even the strongest opponents would struggle to scratch him.
Clenching his fist, Anos marvelled at his transformation. The fusion of his immortal physique and enhanced Haki had elevated him to a level he could only describe as overwhelming.
The power coursing through him felt limitless, and for the first time in a long while, he allowed himself to indulge in a sense of invincibility.
