Background / History

Dole first survives by changing identities and taking practical work: after poisoning Aoduo's family, he seeks help from Supervisor Harley and becomes a first-grade blacksmith at Montuo Smithy under the name Lin Rui 43. At the same time, he operates in the shadows, taking assassination work and using poison, hallucinogens, and secrecy rather than direct confrontation 50 57.

His early wizard path is defined by extreme mental control. Potion-making trains his precision, and his meditation method further strengthens it, making his control far superior to ordinary wizard apprentices 108. Even before possessing mana, he can cast spells with pure mental power, impressing others with his speed, accuracy, and control 129 132.

After joining Ailunge Academy’s potion sphere, Dole rises quickly as a potion maker and teacher. His potion classes become popular, his students improve, and his status grows through both technical skill and control over potion supply 179 285. By seventeen, he is already recognized as a Level Five potion master, making him valuable to nearly every faction that wants stable access to high-level potions 261.

Dole gradually builds his own base of power through Dole Wizard Tower, business ties, and alliances. He works with Aixi, Glaite, Eugene, the Rhine Family, the Aoun Family, Allen, and the Glory Wizard Alliance while resisting pressure from families such as the Tracy, Marcia, Lant, Alexander, and Shaman God families 392 407 526 753 1008 1111.

As city lord of Albis City, Dole opens the Northwest Passage, develops Albis Mountain, manages territory politics, and becomes a regional pillar strong enough to attract imperial attention 704 735 753. Despite his authority, he often delegates governance through avatars and subordinates so he can focus on cultivation, research, and alchemy 763 956.

In the later story, Dole becomes a world-level power. He reaches Level Seven, then Level Eight, then Level Nine, defeats or intimidates high-level enemies, destroys Voodoo Organization bases, clashes with religious empires, and studies laws, fate, divinity, and interworld teleportation 859 1013 1102 1111 1120 1205 1231.

Appearance

Dole is repeatedly described as young-looking, short, and sturdier than ordinary wizards. His smaller build is attributed to childhood hardship and malnutrition, but his aura becomes increasingly vast and imposing as his power grows 362 383 714.

• Young face, often appearing younger than peers expect 423 544.
• Short but spirited-looking figure 714.
• Sturdier than ordinary wizards despite his height 383.
• Later gives off a grand, storm-like presence, especially after major advancements 362 640.
• His true body carries the aura of a raging storm: chaotic, ordered, powerful, and violent 640.

Personality

Dole is cautious by default. Early on, he avoids direct fights because he lacks combat experience and wants to leave no trace, preferring poison, hallucinogens, hidden identities, and ambushes 57 60. Even much later, he sends avatars to risky meetings, retreats when reinforcements arrive, and avoids gambling with his life when powerful associations or unknown figures target him 632 1120 1223.

He is independent and resistant to control. He refuses to become a faction leader for others, rejects noble recruitment, declines the Tracy Family’s retainer offer, turns down the position of Wasen Fort, and later refuses Emperor George’s offer to make him an Imperial Prince 170 244 880 1015.

Dole is research-obsessed. Other characters call him a technical fanatic, and he is most animated when discussing wizard arrays, materials, potions, law research, and tower construction 511 880 924. He often ignores politics unless they threaten his projects, family, territory, or supply chains 544 956 1163.

He can be generous and courteous when it serves his values or relationships. He compensates injured civilians after an assassination attempt, supports commoner students, gives resources to friends, and treats minor nobles as important partners in Albis City’s development 651 704 1061. At the same time, he is ruthless toward enemies who cross clear lines, destroying infiltrators, assassins, dark organizations, and hostile bases without mercy 1110 1111.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Hidden Survivor and Assassin

Dole begins as a young survivor using poison, false identities, and assassination work to stay alive. His caution and secrecy define his early choices, including the Lin Rui identity and his refusal to fight openly when assassination tools will do 43 50 57.

Apprentice to Academy Potion Master

His potion skill and mental control drive rapid magical progress. At Ailunge Academy, he becomes a respected potion teacher and a key technical figure, eventually shaping the Magic Potion Hall’s influence through high-quality potions and supply control 68 108 179 285.

Tower Master and Independent Faction

Dole builds his magic tower, gathers students and assistants, forms business alliances, and becomes valuable enough that major families try to recruit, pressure, or eliminate him 274 392 407 425. His response is usually cautious cooperation with allies and hard deterrence against enemies 574 590 651.

Albis City and Northwest Passage

After gaining territory, Dole develops Albis City, opens the Northwest Passage, and becomes a regional power backed by wizard towers, alliances, and the Storm Domain 704 735 753. His governance is practical and delegated, though his education policies and commoner-friendly development provoke noble unease 711 763 1136.

Rise to World-Level Power

Dole’s rise from Level Seven to Level Nine changes the balance among empires, religious powers, and old families. He destroys Voodoo Organization bases, clashes with the Light and Dark Holy Sees, defeats major level-nine enemies, and becomes too dangerous for most factions to provoke directly 859 1013 1102 1111 1121.

Greater World and Law Research

In the greater world, Dole studies laws beyond ordinary elements, experiments with interworld teleportation, manipulates Dream Seeds for information, trades Life Essence for resources, and seeks divinity, fate, and materials for even stronger towers 1201 1205 1231 1233 1247.
