Origin Continent.
Also known as Calim Continent.
At the edge of a town where wizards gather, the low-level wizard apprentice Lynn lay covered in wounds on the cold ground.
Despair filled his eyes as he gazed at the sky that resembled black velvet. He gritted his teeth and used the broken magic wand to sketch a mysterious pattern on the ground.
Finally, he placed the broken magic wand at two symtrical nodes of the pattern, along with the blood flowing from his body.
"Master of Essence!"
"King of Thousand Forms!"
"Taiwei..."
Lynn opened his mouth, and the light in his eyes gradually faded as he collapsed lifelessly to the ground.
At that mont.
The pattern on the ground emanated a faint glow, as if a pair of eyes were gazing through the void.
The next mont.
A crack appeared in the void, and a drop of dark red blood floated out and suddenly shot towards Lynn’s forehead.
"Drizzle..."
Light rain began to fall, gradually becoming more intense, washing away the traces on the ground.
It was unclear how much ti had passed.
"Hmm!"
The body of ’Lynn’ lying on the ground trembled and slowly rose, rubbing his limbs expressionlessly.
’Just died not long ago, the consciousness hasn’t completely dissipated, so the obsession is to beco an official wizard, huh?’
’That’s not too difficult.’
’But this person was quite determined to learn; even when being intercepted, the thought before death wasn’t revenge, but becoming a wizard.’
’Hmm...’
’This body is too weak, the original mories need to be temporarily sealed, and gradually unsealed once strength is gained.’
Carl,
No!
It should be said Lynn, raised his head to look at the increasingly intense rain and bowed his head as he headed toward his residence.
At this mont, his body had long been refined by Carl into an avatar.
His consciousness also replaced.
...
Vier Town.
A town near the Viper Academy, inhabited by apprentices and wild wizards who haven’t passed the academy’s tests.
Certainly.
There was no shortage of mortals here.
Lynn was an apprentice at the Academy Wizard.
But unlike the advanced wizard apprentices who stayed at the academy, he, having turned sixteen while still just a basic wizard apprentice, wasn’t allowed to stay at the academy. Not only was he expelled, but he also had to repay the high loans owed to the academy each month.
One magic stone per month!
If not paid, he would face pursuit from Viper Academy.
Thinking about the consequences of the pursuit, even as an avatar of Carl, Lynn couldn’t help but twitch his mouth slightly.
"So..."
"Firstly, let’s take stock of my belongings."
A book of spells, recording three Zero Ring Spells and several tricks, a broken magic wand.
So materials for refining potions, and a set of a cauldron.
Fortunately, Lynn was also from the Fla Series of the Natural School, which was similar to Carl’s past, saving so trouble.
Unfortunately,
Currently, Lynn has mastered only one Zero Ring Spell.
Zero Ring Spell—Burning!
It can make the flas burn more vigorously and increase the temperature of the flas to a certain extent.
And a trick—Fire Control, which allows minor control over flas, ineffective on large-scale fires.
The ditation thod was just getting started.
In short,
In Carl’s view, Lynn was just a wizard apprentice without talent, stubborn but persistent.
Hmm...
The only outstanding aspect should be his appearance.
At only sixteen, he had smooth blonde hair, well-defined features, and a tall, slender physique, except for a slightly weak constitution.
From the remaining mories, it was clear that Lynn had quite the charm with won, even after leaving the academy he had the care of senior schoolmates.
"Viper Academy was founded seven hundred years ago by the Third Ring Wizard Akasha of Viper, and within the academy, there are several Second Ring Wizards, dozens of official wizards, and nurous apprentices learning witchcraft."
"Over the centuries, various towns like Vier Town have been established around Viper Academy."
"Wizard apprentices seeking knowledge, wild wizards seeking opportunities, and rchants doing business gather here."
Lynn flipped through the books in the room, becoming increasingly clear about the current situation thanks to enhanced mory and analytical skills.
"Viper Academy recruits school-age children to study at the academy every year, with assessnts at sixteen."
"Successful assessnts continue their studies at the academy."
"Unsuccessful..."
"They are expelled from the academy and begin to repay the high loans incurred during their studies at the academy."
"Just like ’.’"
Viper Academy is inconspicuous on the vast Calim Continent, yet it has a Third Ring Wizard in charge.
This was unexpected for Carl.
It’s no wonder it’s the place of origin for wizards; the existence of Third Ring Wizards can be heard about so casually.
"So then..."
Lynn rubbed his forehead:
"How did I get attacked?"
After leaving the academy, he had been refining magic potions to repay his debt.
Because he was only refining low-tier potions with low product rates and ordinary quality, they were hard to sell at good prices.
To earn more money, Lynn went to the black market and was ambushed by two people on the way back.
Ultimately...
He was tragically killed.
Before dying, he drew the ’Divine Rune’ of Carl, establishing a connection with the ’Divine’ from another world.
"Hmm?"
Lynn turned around and rummaged through the piles of books in the room, and indeed found the book he sent to Calim Continent many years ago.
This book appeared to be a travelogue on the surface, but inside it contained his Divine Rune and thods of contact.
By so chance,
The opportunity fell into Lynn’s hands and was drawn with a strong obsession before his death.

"Knock, knock..."
The wooden door was knocked from the outside, letting out an awkward sound.
While practicing the ditation thod with his eyes closed, Lynn opened his eyes, stretched his limbs, and opened the door.
"Susan."
A young maiden stood at the door, her face adorned with a few freckles and exuding an air of cunning energy.
Seeing the companion who walked out of the academy with him, Lynn smiled:
"What’s the matter?"
"Yes." Susan nodded, pinching the corners of her skirt:
"I heard you went to the black market yesterday?"
"...Yes." Lynn nodded:
"You know, the potions I refine aren’t accepted by proper shops, and it’s hard to sell them at a good price by setting up a stall in the streets."
"On the black market, prices can be thirty percent higher."
"But it’s too dangerous!" Susan replied anxiously:
"Your room’s light was on until late last night, which was worrying."
She obviously kept an eye on Lynn.
"There are seven days left until the repaynt day." Lynn sighed and shook his head helplessly:
"If I can’t gather enough magic stones soon, the best outco will be becoming a test subject for academy wizards. I don’t want to end up like that."
"..." Susan bit her lip and shoved a small package into Lynn’s hand:
"Here you go!"
"What’s this?" Lynn opened the package and his expression changed slightly:
"Magic Stone!"
"Where did you get it from?"
"I saved a few when I was at the academy, thinking they might be useful after leaving, and there’s still so left." Susan lowered her head and said in a low voice:
"Use them for now; if it’s not enough, co find . Don’t take risks."
She turned and hurried away.
Uh...
Lynn looked at the magic stone in his hand and then at the bashfully retreating Susan, shaking his head helplessly.
’Being good-looking truly has its benefits.’
He touched his chin and collected the magic stone with a flip of his hand.
With only seven days until ’rent’ is due, earning money may not be fast enough even if it’s possible at all, and it’ll undoubtedly be rushed.
Now with the magic stone, there’s no need to urgently scramble for a living; it’s better to first increase spiritual power.
By the way,
Construct a second Zero Ring Spell.
As for making money...
"Refining potions can’t be neglected; Calming Potions help wizard apprentices with practice, and their price isn’t low. If high-quality Calming Potions can be refined, at least the loan won’t be an issue."
