The Craving for Power

That place that felt familiar to Wizet was, of course, the "Otherworld" he had visited several times before.

He appeared before the star cluster representing the Cheering Charm. This time, replenishing the Cheering Charm star cluster went remarkably quickly.

Wizet had originally planned to explore the "Otherworld" further, but the Cheering Charm star cluster had already been replenished, and his consciousness returned to reality.

It was precisely because
