Here's a refined and polished version of your
After much effort, Lith finally managed to uncover some information about the castle. This ancient structure, it turned out, was born from the very essence of the primordial void itself, existing long before anything else. Over its endless years, the castle had developed its own consciousness. Once grand and magnificent, the castle suffered damage during the Big Bang, which created all the dimensions and worlds. Since then, it had drifted aimlessly through the void, searching for an owner. It had always longed for someone to claim it.
When I fought Ye Chan's soul, the castle was there, watching. When I emerged victorious, it chose me as its master and bound itself to my soul.
I was speechless. Then it shared more memories with me, showing its powers and the abilities I could use as its current owner.
First, there is the castle itself. It's unique—existing both within my soul and simultaneously in a different dimension. I can enter it with my physical body or bring someone else along. I can even hide there, as no one but me can access this place.
Second, the castle houses a "Tower of Worlds." From this tower, I can create different worlds and summon various races to serve me. While creating worlds here is easy, summoning beings requires life force. In the outside world, this is known as experience, which people gain by either absorbing it from the atmosphere or slaying monsters. I need this life force to summon races.
Third, I can influence anything within the castle or its surrounding territory. However, since the castle is at its lowest level, my abilities are limited.
There are other abilities hidden within the castle, but they remain inaccessible due to its damaged and weakened state. Currently, the castle needs 10,000 life force points to begin repairing itself. Although it can absorb life force from the atmosphere, this process is slow. The quickest way to gather life force is through killing.
I sighed deeply. Leaving the throne room, I came upon a two-story tower where created worlds would manifest. The tower seemed to have its own internal void, capable of holding an infinite number of worlds.
Inside the tower, Lith saw five stone tablets on the first floor, along with doors. When he tried to ascend to the second floor, he found it locked. Accepting this, he returned to the first floor and examined the stone tablets. Each tablet would bear the name and abilities of the summoned races, while the doors behind them led to their respective worlds. Right now, only one world existed.
Lith examined the lone door floating behind the stone tablet. He opened it and saw a barren, dead world, devoid of air and saturated with the energy of death. He almost fainted with anger. As he thought about it, an idea struck him: to create an undead race. Seeing the desolate world as an ideal home for the undead, Lith set to work.
Since the outside world was extremely dangerous and he lacked any form of support, Lith decided to create a powerful undead race.
Two days later, Lith looked
Two days later, Lith looked proudly at the stone tablet, which now at the stone tablet, which now displayed his creation:

Name: The Dreadbone Sentinel
Race: Undead

Abilities and Powers
1. Divine Might of the Fallen:
Despite being undead, the Dreadbone Sentinel wields divine power, allowing it to use light-based attacks—a rare feat for a creature of darkness. Its divine aura corrupts and consumes lesser holy beings, enabling it to confront lesser angels and deter some more powerful ones. Divine energy pulses from the red lines in its armor, providing additional protection against magical and holy attacks.
2. Soulfire Pyromancy:
The soul fire animating the Dreadbone Sentinel's skull is a source of its magical strength. With dark pyromantic magic, it releases bursts of soul fire that burn both flesh and spirit, making it lethal to living and ethereal foes alike. This fire can also be shaped into constructs, like swords or shields, for versatile combat.
3. Curse of Eternal Vigilance:
As a guardian, the Sentinel can curse trespassers on its lord's domain. This curse binds intruders, drains their life force, and weakens their will. Even a single glance from the Sentinel unnerves and slows those who cross its path.
4. Arcane Martial Expertise:
Armed with a massive, cursed greatsword and a dark shield that channels soul fire, the Sentinel is nearly unbeatable in close combat. Its supernatural strength and skill make it a formidable melee fighter, with fiery trails extending the reach of each swing.

Future Growth and Potential
Awakening of Ancestral Flames:
As it encounters stronger enemies, the Sentinel can unlock ancient powers, expanding its soul fire into a searing inferno. In this form, the red lines on its armor turn white-hot, and it emits a blazing radiance capable of consuming entire hordes.
Ascension to Reaper of Souls:
In its ultimate form, the Sentinel could evolve into a "Reaper of Souls," able to summon spectral reapers to harvest the souls of the fallen. Each absorbed soul strengthens the Sentinel, turning it into a nearly unstoppable force.

After finalizing the creation, Lith couldn't stop admiring the Dreadbone Sentinel. Unlike other undead, it didn't fear the light. Instead, it could wield light as a weapon. This race was crafted to both protect and attack on my behalf.
The Dreadbone Sentinel stood as a towering skeletal figure, clad in dark, heavy bone armor that melded seamlessly with its form. Blood-red lines crackled at the joints, pulsing with eerie light. Its helmeted skull burned with a fierce, blue soul fire, casting unsettling shadows. It radiated a terrifying aura—a mix of cold death and divine wrath.
At first, I was shocked by its sheer power. Through my connection to the castle, I learned that even the lowest-level races here possessed the strength of demigods. Once the castle levels up, these races could even achieve godhood, and the strongest ones could grow even more formidable.
Then, at the bottom of the stone tablet, I noticed a "1/hr" symbol, indicating that the tower would regenerate one soldier every hour. As the castle grows stronger, this regeneration rate will improve. I also saw that I could summon additional soldiers for 100 life points each.
Soon, a Dreadbone Sentinel appeared in the dead world, wandering aimlessly. Just then, the castle informed me that I had met the conditions to unlock the fourth ability.
Eagerly, I unlocked it.

Fourth Ability:
Lord of the Tower: As the lord of the tower, I inherit the strength of the races within it.

This realization hit me hard: I would grow stronger without needing to do anything. However, there was a catch. I would only gain their power—not their skills. I'd have to learn those myself. I sighed, recalling that the body's original owner couldn't practice any cultivation methods, either magic or martial arts. This had made him even more of an outcast, and I understood now it was because of those kidnappers.
I sighed, feeling a wave of fatigue, and soon drifted off to sleep.
…
When I opened my eyes, I found myself back in the hut. Rising to my feet, I noticed that all my previous injuries were gone—I felt no pain at all. I looked around to see Julia standing nearby, her face filled with shock as she stared at me. I frowned and looked down, only to be even more surprised than her. My clothes were in tatters, and I was entirely naked. My once skinny body had transformed, now lean and muscular. I felt as strong as a Dreadbone Sentinel. But I knew that without control over my new strength or skills, I'd lose in a fight against one of them.
Standing there, completely exposed, I noticed Julia's wide-eyed gaze fixed on me.
