Writing The Interest of Infinity was an experiment in answering a single, terrifying question: What happens if you apply the laws of Compound Interest to a human soul?
Most stories about becoming a God focus on "Enlightenment" or "Heroism." They treat divinity as a reward for being good or brave. But I wanted to write a story where divinity is just the inevitable result of Good Accounting.
1. The Protagonist is not a Hero.
Throughout 2,200 chapters, Anand (The Ancestor) never changes his core personality. He starts as a businessman exploiting a tax loophole in his country, and he ends as a Cosmic Entity devouring universes. He never learns to throw a punch; he learns to leverage assets. He never learns "magic"; he learns to harvest energy efficiently.
He proves that the difference between a CEO and a God is simply Scale.
2. The Horror of Efficiency.
There is a subtle horror in this story. The Empire he builds is a Utopia—no disease, no poverty, infinite life. But it is a cold Utopia. It is a machine. The "Primals" and "Dark Stars" are happy, but they are essentially batteries in his calculator. The story asks the reader: Would you trade your freedom to live in a paradise where the landlord is God?
3. The Ending is the Beginning.
The final scene—where he arrives in the Eternal Kingdom and immediately opens a new "Ledger"—is my favorite part. It shows that he hasn't found peace. He has just found a bigger market.
To my readers:
Thank you for following the journey from the Rupee to the Origin Essence.
Remember the First Rule of the Ancestor:
"Power does not come from strength. Power comes from Accumulation. Start small, never spend the principal, and let time do the rest."
