Alex and the King sat down a few minutes later. The king was the first one to talk, asking with a stiff smile,

"I see you're getting along with my daughters."

"That is correct, however it hasn't devolved to that point."

"I see. I have obtained the area of the lake you wanted."

"Alright, please transfer it here and I'll cast the spell on you."

"Mhm, I've transferred it to you."

Alex smiled at the system notification that appeared in front of him.

[ You have acquired section A of the Blue Sky Lake ]

[ Would you like to inspect the details of the section? ]

Alex nodded his head and looked at the expansive territory.

[ Name: Section A of the Blue Sky Lake ( Can be changed )

Owner: Lucifer

Description: This is a large 10-mile by 10-mile area of the Blue Sky Lake, including the Coast. The owner holds ownership and authority over the entire area. ]

Alex smiled even more at the description. He had also gained ownership over the entire coast. He then asked the King,

"Could you have some people collect some of the water for me?"

"Sure, how much would you like?"

"Hmm, I would say 100 gallons. In the meantime, I'll cure your curse."

"I'll have someone do it right away."

The King nodded to the aide beside him and then looked at Alex expectantly. Alex then cast the spell he had created and watched the King start to glow white. Little black wisps seemed to start leaving his body. This phenomenon continued for an entire hour until it finally stopped. The king that was once on the final thread of his life had been rejuvenated. His white and grey hair from aging had regained its lush pink color, and his wrinkled skin became smooth and young again. The King began to laugh out loud, and a wide smile appeared on his now young face.

"I'm glad you are happy with the spell."

"Haha! Happy? I'm ecstatic. I had just assumed I would have that appearance for the rest of my life."

"Mhm, you have regained all the time you lost due to the curse."

"I really can't thank you enough! If you need anything else, just ask."

"Well, I won't be polite then. I would like some Magic Crystals, as much as you are willing to give me."

"Oh? That's not a problem. Do you have a preference for the element type?"

"No, any element will be fine."

"I see, please bring me that."

"Your majesty, are you sure!?"

"Yes, now go."

"I understand."

Alex looked confused at the interaction between the King and a guard. The guard quickly left the room and returned after a couple of minutes. In his hand was a ring, but Alex's hands began to shake when he saw it. He had no idea he would receive this much.

Alex looked at the ring in shock, but he quickly looked inside the ring and found that it was filled with magic crystals! Alex had counted at least a million Magic Crystals. He was speechless and hesitantly asked,

"Are you sure it's alright to give me all of this?"

"Yes, it's fine as all of that is the property of the Crown."

"I see, then many thanks, your majesty."

"Haha! No need for formalities! Just call me Richard."

"Alright, I still have a few things to do, so I'll cure your daughters in a few days."

"Mhm, I wish you the best of luck in those endeavors."

"Thank you."

Alex bowed to Richard and left the room. He swiftly arrived at the section of the Blue Sky Lake he had just bought. Although he had a little trouble getting in from the guards, he was alright. Once there, he found the aide that Richard had told to collect the water he requested. The aide gave Alex the 5 gallons and left shortly afterward.

Alex didn't waste any time, as he was already short on it, and dived right into the lake. He then cast "Stop" onto the water, hoping it would make his task easier. While submerged in the lake, he received a constant influx of system messages, but he ignored them for now. He kept swimming downward while gritting his teeth in pain and holding back his grunts. He finally found what he was looking for: a cavern under the lake. The cavern was magically void of any water and had only a single door. He swiftly went into this dry cave and tried to quickly catch his breath. His breath was erratic, and he clutched his chest in pain. He kept his hand there for a few minutes until the pain had subsided. He had chosen this spot for a few reasons. The first reason included the Blue Sky Water nearby. The second reason was its hidden location, yet it was also easy to get to and leave. The last reason was because of the information he had obtained from the Purgatory Page of Revelations. This cave was the entrance to an ancient sage's house. Alex hoped he could find his insights into the various elements. Alex opened the door and walked inside. As soon as he stepped through the door, a flood of system messages assaulted him. The room he stepped into looked like a cozy living room with a fireplace, a couch, a coffee table, and a carpet. Alex sat down on the couch and began to go through the system notifications.
