While expanding his alchemical abilities and exploring how to combine the best traits of multiple bodies and souls, he completed the alliance’s colonization registration and stood ready to depart.

• Roy decided to pursue a neutral relationship with Melius, upgraded her bow and other equipment, and used the resulting gains to improve his Sage's Proverbs talent.
• Roy chose to develop the world identified by his World Beacon, gathered colonization materials with Sailen and Furia, and began preparing supplies and fertilizer for the undertaking.

• Roy studied how to make alchemical life integrate with nature and planned the Sipka Fairy, a magical being that could draw sustenance from trees and sunlight and return to the soil after death.

At Mutraken, Roy granted wishes to the powerful figures who found his statue, then used the resulting conflicts and offerings to advance his plans. As Emperor Bart’s forces tightened their hold on the region, Grand Duke Berna reached Roy’s statue and received armor and practical knowledge to resist the empire and strengthen his people.

• First Prince Bat captured the adventurer and his Mushroom Demon companion, then led a party of warriors into Mutraken and found Roy’s statue.
• Roy granted Jerret’s wish with a White Mushroom Sac, gave Maitel an Uranium Energy Potion, and lent Bat the Level 2 Puppet Lady Edwen in exchange for rare treasures.
• After leaving Mutraken, Bat used Lady Edwen to kill the adventurer, the Mushroom Demon, and the other warriors, then conquered the continent and became Emperor Megel I.

• Grand Duke Berna and his allies secretly entered the basin and asked Roy for help resisting the Megel Empire.
• Roy granted Berna an Apostle Set, additional armor for his soldiers, and knowledge of nitrogen fertilizer, gunpowder, and medical skills.

Roy cultivated faith through a balance of rival powers, developed his alchemy and spiritual abilities, and helped his followers become goddesses in the Iris Alliance. He then sent Zofir to retrieve Lady Edwen from the Megel capital, where Bart learned that his divine puppet’s trial service had ended and would require renewal.

• Roy studied the continent’s conflict between the Megel Empire, the Iris Alliance, and non-human races, and continued developing Ristal and collecting faith and Talent Source Material.

• Roy traced unusual supply purchases in Belredo Town to a hidden group and used a concealed Alchemical Wonder to observe Mogos and the Moen Hermitage.
• Sailen reported that the Moen Hermitage’s members knew of Roy, the God of Wishes, and Bart; Roy ordered the group monitored and its information archived.

Roy recruited Mogos and the Moen Hermitage into his Secret Arts Hermitage after Mogos discovered how to create a Source of Magic Power, then used their research to develop new shadow witchcraft. After learning that Codiv may have contacted Archinila a century earlier, Roy began preparing a cross-plane teleportation array and tasked Mogos’s group with finding resources to support it.

• Roy secretly influenced the Moen Hermitage’s research, and Mogos discovered how to construct a Level 1 Source of Magic Power.

• Roy proposed expanding the Secret Arts Hermitage and building a broad system to train talented people, while the Hermetic Society cleared monster settlements and established Resource Sites.
• Roy anchored Dimensional Beacons around Mutraken, bringing cross-plane teleportation and communication into initial operation, then found a Wish Crystal forming at the statue.
• Roy let the Wish Crystal mature into a Divine Spark Fragment and forged it into a Golden Holy Grail with a Level 3 Wish Spell.

• During the Federation’s stalled campaign against the gnolls, a guardsman in Bart’s expedition fell into an underground cavern and accidentally found the Prehistoric Civilization’s ruins.

Bart’s expedition uncovered a Mogis Dynasty ruin and its Dragon Bird War Puppet, but Roy killed Bart’s original body and defeated the awakened machine. Roy gained the Mechanical Life Talent, created a convincing mechanical replacement for Bart, and sent him back to lead the excavation as a test of whether the World Will still favored him.

• Bart’s expedition uncovered Mogis ruins, where scholars found transport puppets and a Dragon Bird War Puppet called the Sky Conqueror.
• Roy revealed that Bart had been guided by the World Will, then killed him when Bart ordered the guards to attack; the Dragon Bird absorbed Bart’s soul and awakened as a Machine Soul.
• Roy’s true body and puppets destroyed the Dragon Bird, and he brought its parts to Mutraken for study.
• Roy acquired the Mechanical Life Talent, used it to transform Bart and the guards into convincing mechanical beings, and sent them back to the Megel Empire to resume excavation.
• The scholars concluded that the Mogis Dynasty had been a Dragon-kin civilization and that War Lizardmen obedience came from Dragon Might as a Bloodline Talent.

Roy revived the Humanoid Angel as Alice, tested her formidable abilities, and pursued experiments with Mechanical Life while expanding his influence through puppets and communications networks. As his resources ran low, the Witch Tower warned him that the Alagi World might face an invasion by the Archinila faction.

• Roy used Mechanical Life and a piece of his own soul to revive the Humanoid Angel, named her Alice, and discovered that her attacks could reach extraordinary power.

• Roy responded to the federation's defeat by promoting communications networks powered by Sailen and Biological Brains, which spread through major cities despite public resistance.
• Roy found that his stockpiles of basic materials were nearly depleted, then received an emergency Witch Tower warning that the Archinila faction might be invading the Alagi World.

Roy prepared the Alagi World for the arrival of exiled wizards from Archinila, building detection systems and weapons while deciding to confront them without alliance support. After the group landed and split up, Roy used a trap to ambush Bochika and her companions with seven Miniature Nuclear Bombs.

• Roy learned that three Level 2 Mages and more than a dozen other exiles would reach the Alagi World in about two years, and Frosv advised him to request alliance support.
• Roy rejected outside help and spent the preparation period developing weapons, upgrading the Dragon Bird Prototype, and improving Zofir and the Holographic Battlefield.
• Roy detected the exiles landing in the Urodi Mountains and learned that Bochika, Daniris, and Elaugen had split up to investigate separately.
• Bochika and her companions found what appeared to be primitive humans, but the figures were Roy’s Fake Humans, which ensnared the group and detonated as a trap.
• Roy launched seven Miniature Nuclear Bombs at Bochika’s group, flattening the hill and the surrounding area.

Roy and his allies defeated the Level 2 criminals who had entered Alagi World, then studied their remains and used what he learned from Elaugen to transform Melina and strengthen his Hair Ghost Witch Body. After absorbing Daniris's Soulology knowledge, Roy realized Soul Transfer was within his grasp.

• Roy confirmed Bochika was dead, collected the criminals' belongings, and learned Daniris and Elaugen were investigating the world.

• Roy arranged to sell or barter surplus assets and materials, then began refining a three-headed dragon puppet called Trikefalos using a prototype inspired by Mogimol's Heart.
• Roy tested Trikefalos's liquid-nitrogen Ice Breath, hydrogen-based Flame Breath, and corrosive Poison Mist Breath, and looked forward to installing its Level 2 core.

Roy accepted a mission to deal with monster incursions in Torrad World in exchange for rare Fruit Spirits, which could strengthen Animate Witchcraft and grant life to animated creations. He arrived with his followers and met Dildili, Nabiah’s daughter, who was overseeing the troubled world.

• Roy prepared to travel with Alice, Planje, Nissa, Furia, Domi, and Melina, and the group teleported from the Witch Tower to Torrad World.
• Salian and the Furry Orcs welcomed Roy at Nabiah’s castle, where Dildili introduced herself and explained the recurring monster threat.

Roy attended Princess Dildili’s banquet, where he discovered that Torad’s living fruit could permanently strengthen the effects of Animate, and he and his companions developed unstable Activation Energy mutations after eating it. He then set out with Dildili to investigate the magical creatures emerging from a demiplane, and they reached a mountain canyon filled with Abyssal Demonic Energy.

• Dildili welcomed Roy and his companions at a banquet, where sentient fruits offered themselves as food and Roy ate a Golden Pineapple fruit that strengthened his Activation Energy.
• Roy found that the fruit’s effect made his Animate magic more persistent, while Domi, Planje, Nisha, and Furia woke with soft, doughlike bodies as their Activation Energy changed.
• Roy learned that the orchard’s monsters had emerged from a demiplane near a Spatial Rift and agreed to investigate their lair.
