Knowledge is power

The map gave him a general orientation of how this place was defined, the great continent he was on was divided into 4 great powers,

The Melkor Empire ruled by a powerful human warrior, The Avec Kingdom with a mix of varied bestial races and is ruled by a mage of the Qilin race, the Church of light ruled by a Angel Pope and the Demonic Empire who always lived in chaos , fighting everyone around, but were forcibly ruled by a Demon Emperor.

In addition, there were smaller powers that were not regulated by any of these three but did not have enough strength to be powers, such as the elven tribes in the islands of the south, the dwarf union in the mountais of southweast, the orcs lands in the northeast, the feeric forests at the north and the maritime cities between the elves and the church of light.

Nicola was currently in the city of Opus, which was near the border of the human country with a minor force called feeric forest, composed of magical beings with bodies created naturally from mana in the environment.

The following months were spent raising all professions to the basic level while doing missions. The cave had become his improvised laboratory, a complete forge used magic cores to produce enough heat to melt the materials, equipment almost like the one he had back on Earth was there to decant and create solutions to produce alchemical potions, the herbs he used for this were planted and arranged in a small garden, illuminated by a monster core of light, the only one that Nicola managed to find during all these years.

He started with jewelry, the polishing of magic cores could produce much more efficient gems, it was his first profession to advance to the intermediate level. Crafts taught Nicola to sew more elaborate clothes and sculpt in the most diverse materials, it was not enough to create create works of art but it served to make the environment more pleasant, from now on he would not need to buy clothes, he would only need to purchase the material to be able to produce them.

His inventive mind coupled with knowledge of the Earth managed to produce the most different artifacts using physical and chemical principles of things. Ovens, running water and ventilation systems were created, the cave was upgraded to a level of perks almost equal to those he had on Earth. With the four space rings he was able to basically bring everything he needed to the cave.

His knowledge of magic deepened, he was now able to inscribe runes and create magical matrices. In addition to dominating the manifestations of the elements even more, the energy that shone around was used with maximum efficiency by him.
