In the period of more than a hundred years, Alex tried many things and went through a lot of trouble just to make the Outline Of The World acknowledge him as its master, however, no matter how much he suffered, he was unable to accomplish his goal.
If not for the Pendant given by his mother, he would have died under the attack of Jose, fortunately, he was quite lucky.
He even found Source Stone and refined it. At that time, the Outline Of The World only glowed a little before becoming silent once again.
During these years, he thought to give up many times, but thinking about the time when his mother left with tears in her eyes and the sad story of his family, he couldn't bring himself to give up. Not to mention, his Will has become so strong that very few people in the Universe could rival him.
He didn't give up, but also didn't know what to do.
