As Anthony opened his eyes, his gaze drifted across the expanse of the floor.
The scene before him was vibrant, tiny motes of light floated gracefully through the air, enhancing the already breathtaking aesthetic with an ethereal glow.
Shelves stood aligned in perfect symmetry, each book meticulously placed with exacting precision, not a single one more than a centimetre out of line.
Several volumes hovered mid-air, as though imbued with a life and will of their own.
The entire space exuded an air of enchantment.
It stood in stark contrast to the rigid, utilitarian environments Anthony had grown almost accustomed to in the military.
'Did the military divert all its funds into beautifying the Tower of Knowledge?'
The thought crossed Anthony's mind as his eyes swept across the radiant interior.
Even the grandeur of the Null estate paled in comparison to the sheer magnificence before him.
