The Garden

Lilith took a deep breath, her fingers lightly tapping on the armrest of her chair as she gathered her thoughts.

"The Seed of Knowledge works on all organisms, elevating their power to the highest potential. In your case, reaching the peak rank in this world was just a matter of time, meaning your potential is not at all worse than mine, maybe even better," she explained, not forgetting to compliment him for added points. 

Unfortunately, her compliments didn't even register in his mind. 

What Potential? 

He had the system, giving him all the potential he could ask for. 

It would be weird if someone surpassed him in that department with all the cheats he possessed. 

But the pressing question remained: did he really require the Seed of Knowledge?

Were its rewards worth the risks?
