Chapter 6: The Path to Divinity
As Akira's wealth and power grew, so did his understanding of the Cosmic Marketplace. He discovered that the system wasn't just a tool—it was a fragment of the Primordial Merchant, an ancient entity who had transcended reality itself.
To unlock the system's full potential, Akira needed to gather the Seven Cosmic Keys, scattered across the multiverse. Each key was guarded by powerful entities and required him to navigate deadly trials, negotiate with cosmic powers, and outwit rival merchants.
His journey took him to:
The Eternal Labyrinth, where he bartered with sentient mazes.
The Abyssal Void, where he tamed a Cosmic Leviathan.
The Empyrean Citadel, where he faced the wrath of an exiled Celestial King.
