In the end, Leon couldn’t find the book he wanted in the central library.

I searched the artifact that finds books using all sorts of keywords, but I really couldn’t find a single book.

I just brought out a few books related to history that I had copied down.

Leon, who was heading to the training room with a sense of disappointment, encountered a familiar face on the first floor.

It was an ordinary disciple named Peter.

Peter, who was always busy but had a lively personality, smiled awkwardly as soon as he saw Leon.

Leon also became awkward at first glance.

“Haha… Leon… … Hello.”

“Ah, yes… Mr. Peter… … .”

“You don’t have to speak to me in a respectful manner. You have become the Lord’s personal disciple.”

“No… ….”

Everyone knew that only the name was mentioned.

But Leon didn’t know how to react when he got that kind of reaction.

I thought it was just an awkward passing, but Peter fumbled around in his arms as if he remembered something.

“By the way, you said you entered the first level, but I didn’t give you this. You may not need it, but… … .”

What Peter handed over was a low-level water magic book.

“I don’t know what attributes you have, so I’ll give you this first. Can I put the rest of the attributes in front of the dedicated training room? … ?”

“Ah… I’ll look into it myself. Thank you.”

Leon climbed the stairs with the magic book in his hands, then tilted his head belatedly.

‘Private training room?’

Leon hit his forehead.

Since he was confined to a single training room, it seemed like he considered that place to be Leon’s exclusive training room.

‘But I can’t go to another training room now… … .’

Leon entered the training room feeling uneasy.

‘I wonder if Widia got off to a bad start… … It’s an ambiguous position no matter where you go.’

Even though I became the personal disciple of the master, the feeling of being a stranger did not go away.

‘He is truly a stranger, but… … .’

Leon shook his head.

I decided to be grateful that I could practice with peace of mind.

The general disciple training room was cramped and didn’t have a protective magic circle, so it wasn’t a suitable place for Leon, who was only a beginner in the secret arts, to use, but it was okay since he was still focusing on basic Arpina magic to raise his consciousness.

But the time has come to start training in high-level magic.

I also had to hone my ‘secret magic’.

He was currently just on the verge of becoming a full-fledged beginner in the art of magic.

It seemed that if I just had one more awakening to the core of Arpina’s 5-star magic, harmony, I would be a complete beginner.

His current will has eight threads.

When you attain enlightenment, there will be nine.

If it had come through the normal steps, it would have been 10, but it was the price for the rapid rise in level.

Of course, there was a price to pay for raising the level further.

It wouldn’t have been strange if he had been gradually preparing to raise his level.

‘I’ve been saving up my time for times like this.’

I practiced 20 hours in real life and only practiced 10 hours in the jewel, so I accumulated 30 hours of jewel time every day.

Before I knew it, 3050 hours of jewel time had accumulated.

A time that can last 4 months just by staying inside the jewel.

This was possible because I couldn’t sleep properly for three months and focused solely on training.

‘Let’s reduce practical training until we reach the beginner level of secret arts.’

Leon entered the orb.

After three months of dedicated training, Leon realized many things.

First of all, the time spent inside the jewel.

Now I’ve spent at least a year inside the jewel.

At first, I thought Leon’s physical growth itself was slow, but no matter how much I thought about it, he was growing at a rate appropriate for a 14-year-old.

‘Doesn’t aging occur inside a jewel?’

To be exact, it’s Leon’s own aging.

The bodies of the porn and the red-haired man had already decomposed into skeletons.

There was also growth of medicinal herbs.

In order to prevent aging, it was applied only to Leon alone.

‘It would make sense if the jewel were entirely user-exclusive… … .’

If all the convenient features were included, it made sense that only Leon’s aging would stop.

It seemed that if I spent just one more year in the palace, I would know the answer for sure.

“When are you going to go?”

Kito, in his human form, polymorphed around Leon and spoke to him.

Kito returned around the time Leon was just beginning his training.

She said she wandered around the orb and found a huge lake.

I brought it to Leon because the water in the lake looked unusual.

The water that Kito brought had a mystical energy, but it has yet to find a use for it.

Drinking it alone had no effect compared to the energy I felt.

“Let’s go once you can definitely use secret magic.”

“Okay, there’s not much time left.”

For Kito, a few months was not much time.

She recovered to the point where she could use basic magic.

Recovery was slow because the core had not been found yet, but it was now a state where it was no big deal to come out of the jewel.

Her core was said to be hidden in the western forest of the Demon’s Nest, bordering the kingdom of Vasprion.

I don’t know the details of how they managed to keep the intangible core separate, but seeing what the warlocks do, I now know that it’s not impossible.

Leon sat cross-legged.

The number of rewards received over the past three months is approximately 180.

In the beginning, I mainly received artifacts to strengthen my power, and after that, I alternated between receiving artifacts and magic books.

Now the odds have increased and D-rank has become the main reward.

F-grade and E-grade items appeared 2-3 times out of 10 rewards, but except for Blink, they were all converted to mileage.

D-class main scroll

Underwater prison.

Explosion.

Wind Blade.

Healing aura.

There was a back.

Healing Aura was a magic scroll that allowed for the widespread use of basic healing magic.

Among the C-grade magic scrolls, the ones that are useful are:

Gravity well.

It was a magic that manipulated gravity within a certain range.

The intensity could even affect advanced secret arts.

Welcome creation.

It was a magic that created an illusion that seemed real, and allowed the user to control an identical illusion that moved according to their will for 10 minutes.

However, he could not use magic.

In addition, various attribute attack magic that affects even advanced secret arts.

B-rank magic scrolls increase magic.

Even if you use secret magic, you can create a power that reaches mystical levels at a time.

Using the beginner level of mystic magic has raised your power to advanced level.

C+ Grade Artifact. Guardian Robe.

It was a robe with a defensive magic circle engraved on it, and it was a robe that automatically created a defensive barrier when an attack came in.

There were 12 magic circles engraved on it that could block the most advanced mystical magic.

When 12 magic circles were consumed, the effect ended automatically.

B-class artifacts have their own subspace pockets.

It was a subspace pocket that no one could open except the user who first injected magic power into it.

All D-class artifacts, except those with a + sign, were converted to mileage.

They were all staff, wand, floating magic support artifact, magic power increase, and shield artifact.

And the C+-grade artifact, the Seed of Chaos, is obtained by collecting D-grade artifact mileage.

Ringing a bell could disturb the minds of those who heard it.

I thought it would be more useful if used together with the Magic Sword.

However, it was not a good artifact to use when with allies since it applied to everyone except the user.

The artifacts turned out to be useful, but the magic book was the problem.

I didn’t need D-class at all, and since I had some decent C-class fire, water, and earth attribute magic, I had to convert them all to mileage.

The only magic book that was useful was ‘Passiota Series Potion Making Magic (C+)’.

Attribute magic is something Leon needs to learn now.

Wind Magic Glacial (C+)

Lightning Magic Glorious Lightning (C+)

Tree Magic Manippu (B+)

Sword Magic Moonlight Scatter Sword(?)

I needed attribute magic other than that, but it wasn’t easy to find a magic book I liked.

If not, there should have been a better magic of the same attribute.

It wasn’t an easy task.

Please multi-attribute magic! I prayed and received a reward once or twice.

‘I really have no luck with lottery… … .’

What appeared in the midst of this was the brilliance of creation.

‘Then there is no need to be foolish any more.’

Now that it was time to level up again, I had to change my reward to elixir.

Since Leon became a full-time adult, his effectiveness with elixirs has increased. Originally, he had to consume D+ to C-rank essences, but even D-rank essences were effective up to the beginner level.

So I was able to receive the elixir as a reward a little more leisurely.

The essence I collected from Rare was still there.

It means that it is not too late to start preparing now.

‘I wish the recipe for elixirs would come out too.’

It’s okay for now, but I couldn’t just keep receiving elixirs as compensation, so I needed it for the future.

After thinking about it, Leon returned to his training.

I won’t be going out until I can use mystic magic.

***

Deep underground, shrouded in darkness.

A chandelier made of black crystal hangs from the ceiling, emitting a faint purple light, and a large obsidian table sits in the center.

The deep voice of the man sitting at the head of the table echoed throughout the space.

“It’s time.”

There were several people sitting around the table, and the woman sitting closest answered in an ecstatic voice.

“Finally…! You broke through the wall. I can’t tell you how long I’ve been waiting for this day.”

The other man spoke in a stiff voice, as if he had been waiting for this.

“There are no major problems with the plans that have been steadily established so far. Except for one military unit… … .”

“Is that the author of Porn in charge?”

“You remembered the name too. That’s right.”

The woman who had initially spoken in a voice filled with ecstasy chuckled.

“It’s just a minor thing. It has no effect on our grand plan.”

“The monster is… … .”

“It’s just a monster without a core. I already got everything I wanted to get anyway.”

“Then… this is the real beginning. Widia was the first step, right?”

“It was Widia who interrupted our plans.”

“That would be fun.”

The rest of the table also chimed in.

The hearts of the people sitting around the table began to beat faster at the thought that they no longer had to hide in the darkness.
