Gaining Knowledge Through Exploration

In a world of endless star fields and interdimensional wars, the wizards' floating city conquered one world after another.
At the wizard academy, through blood-stained exams, the towering wizard tower sent wizards batch after batch.
Becoming an apprentice wizard, Richard activated the miracle furnace deep within his soul, where constant refining of materials granted him knowledge and skills...
The veteran's weapon could be refined into legendary martial arts techniques.
The ancient wizard's encrypted notes could be refined into lost knowledge.
The remains of brutal monsters could be refined into monster bloodlines.
In this era of great voyages in the wizarding world, Richard was destined to become a leader of his time.

Wizard: I Can Refine Everything

The mycelial tentacles of the World Mushroom emerged from the ground at Richard's feet, taking the Crystal Ball he offered.


A faint energy fluctuation emanated from the mycelial tentacles, and soon, the dull voice of the World Mushroom rang in Richard's ears.


"Lord, I feel that these Crystal Balls all contain fragments of the Secret Realm."


Richard nodded, "Yes, you're not mistaken. These things should be useful to you."


After a brief silence, the World Mushroom spoke with some excitement:


"...Extremely useful. These fragments can make this Secret Realm much vaster and its energy much more abundant.


Moreover, these fragments contain many different rules, which can all serve as nourishment, enriching the rules of this Secret Realm, bringing it closer to a world."


"That's good," Richard smiled, "You should be able to piece it together, right?"


"I can, but while I'm joining the pieces of the Secret Realm, all of your subordinates will need to leave this place."
