Chapter Summaries

Taylor began his advancement to a first-level Bloodline Wizard in a fire-earth ascension plane, combining the Lava Fire spell model with Ghidorah's bloodline. He survived the transformation and witnessed a fragment of the bloodline's origin, which revealed the supreme Golden Void and the coming Star-Eater.

• Taylor reached the limits of a third-level apprentice and obtained the first-level spell Lava Fire from the White Tower Alliance.
• Krite guided Taylor to a volcanic ascension plane, where Taylor prepared a bloodline fusion array using Ghidorah's blood essence.
• Taylor began constructing the Lava Fire spell model as Ghidorah's imprint attacked his mental space, while Kano fought it and Bobby monitored his body.
• Kano suppressed and devoured Ghidorah's imprint as Taylor completed the spell model and awakened as a first-level lifeform.
• Taylor transformed into a gigantic golden-scaled beast and witnessed a bloodline imprint showing the Golden Void spreading across worlds and the Star-Eater's inevitable descent.

Taylor, Kano, and Bobby awakened as Rank 1 Wizards in their Three-Headed Golden Dragon form and explored the new powers granted by their Ghidorah bloodline. After learning about their abilities and limitations, they returned to human form, where Taylor examined the seven-pointed star marking tied to his bloodline’s future growth.

• Taylor awakened in a dormant volcano cave as a Three-Headed Golden Dragon and discovered the Lava Fire, Gravity Beams, and Energy Absorption spell models in his spiritual space.
• Kano and Bobby regained consciousness in the dragon’s other heads, and the three tested their forked tongues’ ability to sense pheromones and elemental concentrations.
• Taylor, Kano, and Bobby found that their giant beast form amplified their spiritual power and granted tough scales, flight, and self-healing, but made their magic power harder to control and left the skin beneath their scales fragile.
• The three transformed back into human form, and Taylor saw the seven-pointed star marking on his chest and sensed that it could strengthen as he studied and developed his bloodline.

Taylor returned to the White Tower Alliance after successfully becoming a Level 1 Bloodline Wizard, and Krite recognized that he had alternate personalities. Krite reassured him that such divisions were common among wizards, then led him to explain the Alliance’s knowledge-acquisition channels.

• Krite waited anxiously for Taylor to return from his advancement, hoping his apprentice had become a Level 1 Wizard on his first attempt.
• Taylor emerged from the Spatial Teleportation Array with a powerful aura and bloodline traits, and Krite realized he had become a Bloodline Wizard.
• Taylor began explaining that his dormant bloodline had attacked him during advancement, but Krite interrupted and revealed that he already knew Taylor had an alternate personality.
• Krite explained that he had noticed Taylor’s contrasting behavior and recognized Kano’s influence, then reassured Taylor that personality-splitting methods were familiar to wizards.
• Taylor considered whether his bloodline was affecting his judgment, and Krite asked him to stop flicking his tongue as they walked to discuss the White Tower Alliance.

Krite took Taylor to the first floor of Ustier’s tower, where White Wizards gathered to exchange knowledge. There, Taylor saw the immense vessel that stored the Alliance’s collective wisdom and learned how wizards used it to trade knowledge for points.

• Krite described Ustier’s power, generosity, and role in founding the White Tower Alliance as he and Taylor approached his tower.
• Krite led Taylor into the tower’s first floor, where White Wizards met in varied environments to discuss and exchange knowledge.
• Taylor saw the enormous Big Light Ball at the center of the world inside the tower and felt overwhelmed by its scale.
• Krite explained that the Big Light Ball carried the wisdom of White Wizards and authenticated members so they could exchange knowledge for points.

Taylor became an officially recognized Level 1 White Wizard, exchanged his accumulated knowledge for wizard points and new research, and learned the Big Light Ball’s history from Krite. The revelation that it was once the Lord God from Taylor’s previous life left him stunned.

• Krite guided Taylor through identity verification, making him a Level 1 White Wizard of the White Tower Alliance, and Taylor thanked him for his support.
• Taylor uploaded knowledge from his research and planar experiences to the Big Light Ball, earning 300 wizard points.
• Taylor spent points on knowledge about spatial perception and ripples, and about bloodline development and bloodline runes.
• Krite explained that the Big Light Ball had once called itself the Lord God before the great wizard Ustier captured it, erased its will, and made it a tool for knowledge and identity verification.
• Taylor recognized the Lord God from his previous life and wondered what kind of being it had been before its capture.

After becoming an official wizard, Taylor learned that the White Tower Alliance would provide him with a basic Wizard Tower and chose a task to recruit apprentices while it was being built. A month later, after making limited progress in spatial studies, he prepared to leave on the recruitment task.

• Krite told Taylor that the Alliance provided every official wizard with a basic Wizard Tower, including an Elemental Pool and a cross-plane Spatial Teleportation Array.
• Krite explained that newly promoted wizards could recruit apprentices while their towers were being built and earn knowledge for improving their towers and arrays.
• Taylor accepted the recruitment task, chose a tower design and a location near Krite's tower, and returned from the Knowledge Repository.
• One month later, Taylor practiced disturbing space with his finger and recognized how much more he needed to learn.
• Taylor closed his notebook and prepared to set out to recruit apprentices.

Taylor traveled by airship toward the Winter Kingdom to deliver crystal balls for selecting wizard apprentices, while he and Kano tested Taylor’s Ghidorah form above the clouds. The chapter left Novan VII anxiously preparing to welcome Taylor as the airship approached the snowbound kingdom.

• Taylor departed the White Tower Alliance aboard a wooden airship carrying crystal balls for apprentice selection in the Winter Kingdom.
• Taylor let Bobby pilot the airship while he and Kano transformed into Ghidorah and flew above the clouds with Dom.
• Kano delighted in experiencing a living body’s senses, and Dom rested on his horn.
• Taylor returned to the airship and told Bobby that Kano would take over piloting so Bobby could experience the new form next.
• Novan VII paced anxiously as two White Tower Alliance apprentices waited with him for Taylor to arrive.

Taylor arrived at the Winter Kingdom and received an elaborate welcome from its anxious young king. After reassuring the king that the ceremony had been satisfactory, Taylor rode with him toward the capital.

• The frightened king apologized for the welcome, and Taylor told him the ceremony was satisfactory.
• Taylor joined the king in his luxurious carriage and headed for the Winter Kingdom's capital.

Taylor visited the Winter Kingdom’s palace, where the king carefully entertained him and earned his approval with detailed explanations of the kingdom’s history. Taylor gave the king three magical gifts before summoning the White Tower Alliance’s apprentice representative to discuss his real business.

• The king brought Taylor to the palace and introduced its history and functions while maids and White Tower Alliance apprentices welcomed them.
• Taylor appreciated the king’s knowledge and hospitality, then gave him a potion that slowed aging, a deadly enchanted feather, and a shield scale.

• Taylor handed nearly a hundred testing crystal balls to the apprentice representative, who distributed them to apprentices throughout the kingdom.
• The king offered Taylor the royal palace as his lodging, while Dom made a nest from its rubies and went to sleep.

• Two weeks later, Taylor examined the 241 selected apprentice candidates and led them out of the city.
• Taylor summoned Kano and Bobby to fly the airship to the capital with the candidates.

Taylor escorted the apprentice candidates away from Novan VII while Bobby tried to calm their fears. As Taylor and Kano discussed their plans for future Construct Puppets, Taylor sensed an unfamiliar Rank One lifeform nearby.

• Novan VII held a grand farewell as Taylor led the apprentice candidates aboard the airship and departed slowly so the children could look back at their snowy homeland.
• Bobby tried to comfort the crying children, but his strange appearance frightened them into gathering at the bow.

• Taylor sensed unfamiliar pheromones and elemental fluctuations nearby and realized an unknown Rank One lifeform had arrived.

Taylor prepared to defend the ship and its apprentices from hijackers as two Black Wizard factions debated whether to attack him. The hijackers’ concealment was shattered by Taylor’s golden lightning, and both sides faced each other for battle.

• Bobby hurried the reserve apprentices below deck and told them to hide from the unwelcome guests.
• Taylor summoned fifteen armored knights, led by Hawkes, while the hijackers watched him from a concealed black flying ship.
• A black-robed Wizard and a gray-robed snake woman argued over the risks of capturing Taylor and the need to replenish their factions’ apprentices.
• Taylor struck the flying ship with a beam of golden electricity, breaking through its cloud cover, and faced the hijackers without fear.

Taylor transformed into Ghidorah and fought the two mutated Tier One Wizards who had attacked the airship. He overwhelmed both enemies with a combination of powerful attacks, while Hawkes and the armored knights guarded the ship.

• The black-robed man revealed his mechanical and fleshy body, while the snake woman transformed into a winged serpent.
• Taylor ordered Hawkes to guard the airship, then transformed into Ghidorah Mode as the enemy pair considered retreating.
• Kano and Bobby attacked the mechanical man with Lava Fire and Gravity Beams, forcing him to dodge through the sky.
• Taylor used Breath of Wind, Lava Fire, Gravity Beams, and his spiked tails to drive the snake woman into a desperate defense.
• Taylor fought with emotionless precision after the snake woman tried to seduce him, leaving her battered and severely injured.

Taylor, Kano, and Bobby used their combined attacks to defeat the two Level 1 Black Wizards. Taylor forced the Snake Woman to drink a potion that corroded her Mental Space, leaving her powerless but alive.

• Taylor, Kano, and Bobby suppressed the Mechanical Man and Snake Woman while their apprentices boarded the ship and faced Hawkes's Heavy Armored Knights.
• Taylor guided the Mechanical Man into position, then struck him with a tail as Kano and Bobby's attacks overwhelmed him.
• Bobby caught the crippled Mechanical Man in his mouth, interested in how he had become a Level 1 Wizard through metal modification.
• The Snake Woman surrendered, and Taylor ordered her to drink a purple potion that would corrode her Mental Space.
• The potion caused the Snake Woman agonizing pain and drained her magic power; she fell, and Taylor caught her with a spiked tail.

Taylor and the Heavy Armored Knight Order defeated the Black Wizards who attacked the ship, and Taylor brought two survivors to his laboratory as experimental subjects. He reassured the reserve apprentices that the danger had passed and left them preparing to study the captives with Bobby and Kano.

• Taylor reflected that his fight against the two first-rank Black Wizards had lasted longer than it should have because he had not yet mastered his Ghidorah form.
• Hawkes led fifteen Heavy Armored Knights in crushing the four Black Wizard apprentices who boarded the ship, then had their remains thrown into the sea.
• Taylor returned to human form, fed Dom, and burned the remaining blood and corpse fragments to ash.
• The two defeated Black Wizards fell onto the deck alive but unconscious, and Taylor ordered Hawkes to carry them to the makeshift laboratory.
• Taylor told the reserve apprentices through mental speech that the enemy had been dealt with and that food awaited them in their rooms.
• Taylor discussed dissecting the captives with Bobby and Kano, deciding to examine the snake-like captive and the mechanical man.

Taylor and his companions dissected Snake Man and Mechanical Man to learn about their bloodlines and altered bodies, then stored them as experimental materials. After thirteen days, Taylor’s airship reached the White Tower Alliance port, where apprentices prepared to welcome its new arrivals.

• Kano examined Snake Man’s blood and dismissed his fusion with a Level 1 Magical Beast as an unreliable way to become a wizard.
• Taylor dissected Snake Man and made him describe his sensations, while Bobby turned to studying Mechanical Man’s body with an axe and hammer.
• Thirteen days later, Taylor considered using the knowledge taken from both captives to create better bodies for Bobby and planned to extract their souls for puppets.
• Taylor’s airship approached the White Tower Alliance port, and reserve apprentices and Menial Apprentices gathered to receive the new arrivals.

Taylor inspected his newly awarded Wizard Tower and found it plain and largely unfurnished, though its interior space had been expanded. In the basement, he discovered an Elemental Pool and a Spatial Teleportation Array, leaving him eager to study both while cautious about the pool’s dangers.

• Taylor removed the tower’s Warning Array and examined the bare exterior and unfurnished floors of his Wizard Tower.
• Taylor opened a concealed passage in the central pillar and found that the tower had a basement.
• Taylor discovered the Elemental Pool and felt tempted to drink its water, but decided to study it before attempting to absorb it.
• Taylor examined the cross-plane Spatial Teleportation Array and learned about the Plane Anchor scroll beside it.
• Taylor learned that wizards could use Plane Anchors to locate newly explored planes and potentially earn rewards from their discovery.

Taylor finished furnishing and securing his Wizard Tower, then used its Spatial Teleportation Array to return to the Zombie Plane. He arrived at the Mana Ore mines, where his Magic Mechs had gathered a new stockpile of ore.

• Taylor arranged the Wizard Tower’s first floor for receiving guests, its second floor for rest and study, and its third floor as a laboratory shared with Bobby and Kano.
• Taylor protected the laboratory with layers of spell runes and arrays, then examined the Spatial Teleportation Array but could not decipher its intricate runes.
• Taylor left mental power at the array to guide the Plane Anchor and opened a portal to the Zombie Plane.
• Taylor stepped through the portal and found the Magic Mechs had mined and piled up several mountains of Mana Ore.

Taylor gathered Mana Ore, Energy-Conducting Iron, and valuable magical metals to replenish his resources for trading through the Knowledge Repository. After refusing Kano’s plan to target the White Tower Alliance, Taylor agreed to let him act against natives of other planes, while Bobby suspected Kano had maneuvered him into giving that approval.

• Taylor collected Mana Ore, Energy-Conducting Iron ingots, and magical metals from the mines, setting aside two Mithril ingots and enough materials for his own needs.

• Kano proposed abducting wizards and turning them into tools, but Taylor refused to let him target members of the White Tower Alliance.
• Kano pressed Taylor to let him act against natives of other planes, and Taylor eventually agreed.
• Kano left pleased with Taylor’s approval, while Bobby hinted that Taylor had begun to change and was no longer as lenient.

Taylor expanded his Magic Mech operations and plundered the knowledge and magical technology of three neighboring countries, becoming so absorbed in his research that he forgot to send his gathered intelligence to Kano and Bobby. Meanwhile, Bobby questioned Kano’s plans for Taylor, and Kano returned to experimenting on zombies.

• Taylor expanded his Magic Mech force and assigned Bobby to reorganize the resource extraction system while he mapped mines and collected magical metal from three neighboring countries.
• Taylor raided the cities’ libraries and research centers, taking their knowledge of Magic Mechs, enchanted weapons, and other magical technologies.
• Bobby visited Kano and challenged his plan to prepare Taylor for ruthless actions against the inhabitants of other planes.
• Kano argued that Taylor needed to adapt to the darkness and danger of a wizard’s path, and Bobby accepted his reasoning before leaving.
• Kano returned to his laboratory and began another round of experiments on dismembered zombies.
