[Sea of Life] was an exceptionally unique and powerful summoning skill. The magical beasts summoned through it had attributes far surpassing those of summons of the same level obtained through ordinary summoning skills or hired mercenary scrolls.

If one had to compare them, then at the same level, they could almost rival NPCs created by consuming guild levels.

However, the more powerful the skill, the greater its restrictions and costs. The first major limitation of [Sea of Life] was that it required the cooperation of a male character to activate, consuming a minimum of one and a maximum of five levels of his experience—based on the level 100 standard.

In other words, it could make someone drop as low as level 95 in one go, while also inflicting a long-lasting debuff.

Back in the game era, while it was not exactly easy, going from level 95 to level 100 was not particularly difficult either. Aya had even possessed a large number of high-level alternate accounts specifically used to provide experience.

But in this world, everything was different.

Forget level 95—even the strongest people Aya had encountered so far were probably not above level 50. They could not provide even a fraction of the experience required for [Sea of Life].

If she insisted on draining enough experience—perhaps it could also be understood as life force—then she did not even know whether draining every man in an entire country would be enough.

Camellia and Preya had been born as twins through the life force stored in the [Blood Pool] of the [Temple of Life], supplemented by the werewolves' contribution. It could be called a rare miracle.

But now, the life force in the Blood Pool had been used up. Naturally accumulating it again would likely have to be measured in months or even years.

Yet the shortage of manpower was already right before her eyes.

Aya stared at the ring.

The wishes she wanted to make were the two most direct and effective ones: "waive all costs of one summoning," or "provide an enormous amount of experience."

To be honest, she did not know whether this super-tier spell could actually be used to activate [Sea of Life], so she could not help feeling extremely nervous.

"Shooting Star Ring, hear my wish! (I WISH)"

She had been so nervous that she shouted words she did not need to shout at all. Seeing the sparkling, worshipful gazes of her two daughters before her, Aya felt a little embarrassed.

I actually just shouted such a cringeworthy line... Thinking that, Aya shook her head and drove the stray thoughts from her mind.

If the magic from the game era could all be used, then this super-tier spell should probably activate successfully as well—that was what Aya had originally thought.

But nothing happened. No, the spell had indeed activated, but in a form Aya had never expected.

New information flooded into her mind, and she felt a strange sense of joy. Aya realized that this spell had become completely different from how it had been in YGGDRASIL!

Wish Upon a Star, a super-tier spell that in the old game world could only select from fixed wishes based on luck, more entertaining than practical.

In this world, it had become magic that could reliably grant the wish in one's heart. Of course, the extent to which it could be fulfilled would still depend on the amount of experience consumed, but the nature of the spell itself had changed.

More than that, if consuming five levels—five hundred percent—was the same amount as the upper limit absorbed by [Sea of Life], then it could undergo a qualitative change into magic capable of granting an even stronger wish.

If that was the case, then perhaps it really could be done.

Aya shouted.

"Activate [Sea of Life], and let my child be born!"

At this moment, Camellia and Preya had completely stopped breathing.

Three seconds passed, and nothing happened.

Five seconds passed, and nothing happened.

Ten seconds passed...
