"I don't know," Ning said. "Maybe get myself re-ranked in the summoning circle?"

"Do you have anything to look forward to?" Saphandra asked with an inquisitive look. She really wanted to know.

Ning smiled. "There are a hundred billion star systems in each of the thousands of billions of galaxies in just this one universe. And I am capable of going through infinite universes. Do you really need me to tell you what I have to look forward to?" he asked.

"Dammit, a simple 'yes' would have sufficed. No need to show off," Saphandra said with a pout.
