In the age of Universal Awakening on the Azure Sphere, a myriad of races and gods coexist. 
Devils, dark gods, and monsters descend upon the mortal realm, only to be met by the Awakened.
Howard, during his Awakening Ritual, discovers dual talents— F-rank Mana Recovery, and the supreme talent: Supreme Synthesis. 
He keeps a low profile, hiding as a 'common magus.'
Through countless acts of synthesis, he forges supreme artifacts, supreme skills, and supreme classes! 
Fireball synthesis... Ding! Synthesis successful, attaining D-rank skill— Fire Serpent! 
Fire Serpent synthesis... Ding! Synthesis successful, attaining B-rank skill— Fire Python! 
Fire Python synthesis... Ding! Synthesis successful, attaining S-rank skill— Dragonfire!
When devils invade and dark gods descend, they are left slack-jawed by the Azure Sphere before them. 
"No, this is a trap... a trap disguised as a mere cupcake!"

Recently, Edward found himself in dire need of money.

After the battle, he disbanded the mercenary group, and together with Howard, they had a remaining force of 3768 troops.

The subsequent siege was a tedious affair; Howard and Edward had no intentions of launching a forceful assault, thus prolonging the standoff.

A month later, Howard sent Vettel to meet with Rolf to inquire about the estimated time needed to build the fleet.

Upon hearing the query, Vettel couldn't help but laugh heartily.

"My lord, shipbuilding is not like conscripting soldiers; it can't be rushed. Considering the number of ships Rolf mentioned, even at a fast pace, it would take at least a year or two."

Howard pouted slightly, "I can't wait that long. The New World trade is booming; am I supposed to waste time in the Mediterranean? Think of a way to acquire a fleet more quickly."
