The Synthesis Wizard

In a world where elements lay barren and powerful wizards had abandoned their homeland a millennium ago to explore the multiverse, Sunan found himself reincarnated as a noble scion stripped of his title. This world, once brimming with magic and wonder, had fallen into a desolate state, and wizards had become mere legends. Sunan was acutely aware that after a thousand years, the elements would awaken once more, heralding the return of the wizards and ushering in a new era of prosperity. He understood that his path was clear: he must train diligently to become a wizard himself and survive until this glorious age arrived. “Resources are scarce?” he mused, determination flickering in his eyes. “Then I’ll just have to synthesize them myself.” With that thought, he activated the Synthesis Cube, a device that granted him the ability to combine materials into something new. This Cube was not just a tool; it was a symbol of his potential in this world, reflecting his status as a player in a game he once played. As he set to work, the Cube glowed with possibilities, presenting him with a myriad of options. He had a few basic materials at his disposal, remnants of his previous life and the knowledge he had accumulated from his past experiences in the game. Sunan began experimenting, combining herbs and minerals he had gathered. Each successful synthesis filled him with a sense of accomplishment, inching him closer to his goal of becoming a wizard. Days turned into weeks, and Sunan’s skills improved rapidly. He crafted potions, improved his understanding of magical theories, and honed his mental abilities through intense meditation practices. The Star Ring Meditation, one of the first techniques he mastered, allowed him to tap into the latent mental energy within himself, enhancing his cognitive functions and magical sensitivity. As he progressed, whispers of his endeavors began to circulate among the remaining noble families and the common folk. Some viewed him with suspicion, while others saw potential in the young man who dared to challenge the status quo. Sunan knew he needed allies. He began seeking out individuals who shared his vision—a return to the age of wizards. He discreetly approached the remnants of the nobility, the few who still held some influence, and began to forge connections. His reputation grew cautiously, and with it, the opportunities to gather resources and knowledge. He learned of hidden libraries, ancient texts, and artifacts that could aid in his quest. One fateful day, while exploring a forgotten ruin, he uncovered an ancient tome detailing the rituals of the wizards who had once thrived on this land. The pages contained knowledge that could accelerate his growth, including spells long lost to time. “This is it,” Sunan thought as he carefully transcribed the contents into his own notes. “With this, I can not only learn the spells but also improve my synthesis techniques.” As he delved deeper into the arcane arts, he realized that the key to his ascension lay not just in personal power but in understanding the intricate web of alliances and rivalries that defined noble society. He had to navigate these treacherous waters carefully. In the back of his mind, Sunan always remembered the impending return of the wizards. The time was coming when he would have to reveal his true potential and lead the charge into the new era. With each passing day, he grew stronger, more confident, and increasingly aware of the responsibilities that awaited him. The world was changing, and Sunan was determined to be at the forefront of that change—a wizard in a world that had forgotten what it meant to wield true power.

Chapter 25: Ascending to Level 2 Wizard Apprentice

Month of Blazing Fire, the time when the sun blazes relentlessly upon the earth. The scorching weather left people feeling drained and irritable.

However, within the inner castle, there was an atmosphere of jubilation.

After consuming four bottles of Dragon Blood Potion, Kyi had successfully broken through to become a Great Knight!

If knights were the backbone and elite force of a territory, then Great Knights were its cornerstone.

In any country, Great Knights were undeniably high-end combatants.

Having mastered Dou Qi externalization, a Great Knight on the battlefield was a tank-like behemoth, virtually unstoppable.

With Kyi's advancement, the shadow cast over Blackrock City by Flashing City seemed to dissipate significantly.

The joyous atmosphere outside didn't affect Sunan.

With the Star Ring Meditation just over two hundred proficiency points away from leveling up, he had secluded himself in the meditation room, instructing others not to disturb him, and focused on preparing for his advancement.

Three days later.

Sunan sat cross-legged on the floor, eyes closed.

Deep within his sea of consciousness, energy particles flowed into the illusory form of the third star ring, filling the last vestiges of its insubstantial form.

The moment the entire ring fully materialized, an unprecedented tremor surged through him, engulfing his consciousness.

In the silent tranquility, Sunan felt as if he was drifting through the vast expanse of the starry universe. Waves of warmth washed over him, both internally and externally. The indescribable ecstasy of his life essence being elevated filled every corner of his being.

After an unknown amount of time, Sunan gradually regained his senses and opened his eyes.

The world before him seemed to have been wiped clean of a layer of dust, becoming much clearer.

"Is this the feeling of advancement?"

A surge of joy welled up within him. He quickly opened his panel.

[Sunan Ainest, human male, 17 years old]

[Spirit 13.25 / Physique 12.02]

[Skills]

Star Ring Meditation Lv4 (3/20000)

Potion Making Lv2 (2641/3000)

Bio-modification Lv1 (527/1000)

Puppet Creation Lv2 (816/3000)

"Spiritual power increased by 1.27, slightly less than expected, but that's normal. After all, my original spiritual power was already close to 12."

"Physique hasn't changed much, only increased by less than 0.5."

A genuine smile of joy bloomed on Sunan's face.

From this moment on, he was a level 2 wizard apprentice!

In the current Starlight Continent, a level 2 wizard apprentice was undoubtedly a formidable figure!

He had taken another solid step on the path to becoming a wizard.

Taking a deep breath, Sunan calmed his excitement and began to explore the improvements brought about by this advancement.

The most obvious change was the increase in casting speed.

Spells like Mage Hand, Acid Splash, and Sleep Curse now had a casting time reduced by about a third.

A mere one or two points increase in spiritual power clearly wasn't enough to produce such an effect.

Sunan guessed that breaking through the 12-point threshold in spiritual power had triggered a qualitative change, leading to this significant reduction in casting time.

Although it was only a third, in the ever-changing flow of battle, even a blink of an eye could be the difference between victory and defeat.

For a wizard apprentice, casting time was equivalent to life.

"I'll have to wait until I'm a level 3 apprentice to learn metamagic techniques like Silent Spell and Instantaneous Spell. For now, reducing the casting time to about one second is probably the limit."

The second change was in his control over energy particles.

Snap!

Sunan snapped his fingers, and a faint blue halo enveloped him.

Moisture materialized out of thin air, drenching him from head to toe.

Then, a fiery red halo appeared, and white steam rose as the water evaporated, leaving him feeling refreshed.

With his advancement to level 2 and the qualitative change in his spiritual power, Sunan could now manipulate energy particles, utilizing their properties to achieve effects similar to spells.

For example, using water and fire energy particles to clean himself.

But energy particles could also be used in combat.

Sunan extended his hand, and a blue light flashed in his palm. A crackling sound followed as tiny electric arcs materialized, dancing around his hand.

The lightning then transformed into blazing flames, followed by a whirlwind, white frost, and eerie shadows – various elements appearing in rapid succession.

A level 2 wizard apprentice could manifest energy particles into elemental forms for attack or imbue weapons or themselves with elemental properties.

For example, imbuing a weapon with fire energy particles for fire damage, or imbuing oneself with wind energy particles for enhanced agility.

The possibilities were endless.

This was why level 2 wizard apprentices were far more powerful than level 1 apprentices.

Even without using spells, their physical strength, combined with energy particle manipulation, was enough to overwhelm any knight.

With spells, they could even face Great Knights head-on.

Not to mention that level 2 apprentices could also use magic items and contract magical pets.

Thinking of magic items, Sunan looked at the Bloodvine Ring he had been wearing on his index finger ever since retrieving it from the Blackrock Mine.

Previously, he could only sense the energy particles within the ring but couldn't utilize them.

Now, with a mere thought, he could activate its magical properties.

With its power, the Bloodvine Ring would be a valuable trump card.

"And Energy Runes. I can create Energy Rune gems now."

"I should also start thinking about a magical pet."

Magical pets were a type of magical creature. They were originally ordinary animals, beasts, or mutants with special bloodlines, but after forming a contract with a wizard, they awakened special abilities and transformed into magical pets.

There were two types: support and combat.

Support pets were mostly fey creatures like fairies and sprites.

These often possessed strong plant affinity, able to communicate with magical plants, making them excellent for tending magical gardens.

Some were also used as lab assistants.

Combat pets were much more diverse.

From small animals like bats, cats, lizards, owls, snakes, and toads to powerful beasts comparable to knights, they could all be transformed into combat pets to assist wizard apprentices in battle.

Some powerful pets could even serve as a wizard apprentice's trump card, their role not to be underestimated.

"The stronger the creature, the more powerful it becomes after transforming into a magical pet."

"I need to choose my first magical pet carefully..."

Wait!

A thought suddenly struck Sunan.

Speaking of suitable candidates, wasn't there one right in his courtyard?

The mutant monitor lizard!

Sunan's eyes lit up.

A mutant with Dragon Lizard bloodline, if transformed into a magical p

et, would definitely become another powerful combat tool!

It was worth a try!
