Just then, Aaron heard the system’s voice echo in his mind, “HOST, GET READY TO RECEIVE ALCHEMIST KNOWLEDGE UP TO TIER 7.”Before he could respond, his consciousness was pulled into a mysterious state. He found himself in a vast hall filled with countless books and scrolls, each radiating the aura of alchemy.Without warning, a scroll flew toward him, transformed into a ray of light, and entered his mind. Instantly, he gained knowledge of the Ancient Refining Technique. But that was only the beginning. One by one, scrolls and books soared into him, flooding his mind with endless streams of alchemical wisdom.By the time it ended, Aaron was utterly exhausted. Even with the consciousness of a Saint Tier, he fainted under the overwhelming influx of knowledge.When he finally awoke, his head throbbed painfully. The sheer volume of information he had absorbed was staggering. Yet, he realized he now possessed mastery over herbs up to Tier 7. With a single glance, he could discern their prop

Aaron scrolled through the list of available tasks, surprised to discover that he had the privilege to accept missions up to five‑star difficulty. The classification system stunned him, but the special permission granted eased his mind somewhat.Taking a deep breath, he shifted his focus to the redeemable items. The list was vast, potions, herbs, ores, materials, spells, and even spaceships.His eyes lit up at the thought of owning a spaceship. Though he had reached the Saint Realm in both Wizardry and Knight cultivation, his speed across planets still couldn’t compare to the efficiency of interstellar travel.Checking the requirements, he saw that a spaceship cost 100,000 contribution points. The price was steep. He also searched for Law Stones, crucial for advancing from Grand Master Wizard to Saint Wizard, but they weren’t listed. He realized such resources were tightly controlled. Still, he reassured himself, once he helped Kellar ascend, he could obtain Law Stones through her.Fo

Aaron’s eyes narrowed when he heard about the mermen. “Why are those sea creatures occupying the land?” he asked.Ronta replied thoughtfully, “I don’t know for certain. But they appeared ten years ago, likely searching for someone. The good thing is they can’t stray more than ten kilometers from water sources. Konkon Island itself is home to Demi‑humans, and there’s been constant fighting there for the past decade.”Aaron touched his chin. “Is there any mission for clearing the mermen?”Ronta shook his head. “I can’t check those missions, Lord Aaron. My star rating is only two stars.”Aaron opened his Smart Bracelet. “Is there a way to filter missions related to Konkon Island?”Ronta nodded. “Yes, Lord Aaron. You can search the destination from the top right corner.”Following the instructions, Aaron quickly found the listing-- 4‑Star Task - Mission Details: Konkon Island has been invaded by mermen. Eliminate them. - Strength Required: Grand Master Wizard and above. - Task Re

The spaceship descended smoothly into the settlement area of Konkon Island. Ronta turned to Aaron, “Lord Aaron, we’ve reached our destination.”Aaron opened his eyes, excitement flickering within them. Finally, he had arrived at Konkon Island, a place where he could test the weapons he had forged from his domain. Stepping out of the ship, a cool breeze carrying the salty tang of the ocean brushed against his face.Vibrant birds chirped from the colorful trees, while blossoms released fragrances that calmed his mind.Aaron glanced around, noting the clay and twig structures. “This place looks a bit backward.”Ronta quickly explained, “The people here chose to preserve their way of life. Tourists are drawn to this unique beauty, coming for relaxation and food.There’s even a colorful banana that tastes of seven different flavors, each equally sweet.”Aaron’s eyes lit up at the mention, already deciding he would try it.Ronta added, “Don’t be fooled by the simple huts. They’re built fr

Aaron no longer bothered to count how many mermen he had slain. All he knew was that none could withstand him. His experience points had already surged to 700 million, and only half an hour had passed. The pace was staggering. If he continued hunting, he was certain he could push his Knight level from 61 to 71. The only concern lingering in his mind was whether higher‑tier enemies might interfere. He had just wiped out another tribe, this one numbering at least 30,000 mermen. The battle had been noisy, and Aaron suspected other tribes were now alerted. He sent a message to Ronta: “How is the looting going?” Ronta replied with a broad smile, “Lord Aaron, we’ve gathered a huge amount of resources.” Aaron responded calmly, “If you’ve finished looting, come to my location. I’ve cleared another tribe.” Ronta was stunned, but quickly composed himself. “Okay, Lord Aaron. I’ll bring the people there.” Turning to Greta, he explained, “Lord Aaron has killed another tribe. He aske
