Shang's Spirit Sense encompassed the mortal district. It was essentially a lawless land. Nearly no True Mages were there. There were plenty of Apprentices and a couple of Adepts, but they were only the weakest of their level. The True Mages and High Mages would pick up the talented Apprentices and Adepts. There, they would be taught all about Magic. Most normal people in this town only became Apprentices by blindly practicing and imitating other Apprentices. Of course, there were some people that…-

A couple of hours later, the Isolation Barrier around the town was activated, and the important people were informed about an Archbeast that had been detected near the town. The normal people could see that the Isolation Barrier had been activated, but they didn't know the specific reason. However, they could guess that it was probably an Archbeast. The powerful people grew a bit worried. The Magic Circle was indicating a Mid Archbeast. It wasn't super powerful, but it also wasn't weak. Shang left his…

After having met everyone, Shang retreated to the big castle in the middle of the town. This would be his home for the foreseeable future. 'I need to give the residents some time to get used to me,' Shang thought. 'At the moment, they are still uncertain about my power, and if I implement all the changes I have planned now, many of them will leave.' For the next couple of hours, Shang only remained on standby. There wasn't much he had to do as the Town Lord. Most of the town ran all on its own, and he…

The two of them waited for another two hours. During that time, it was mostly the Town Lord talking and Shang listening. Shang wasn't the best contributor when it came to conversations. Eventually, enough time passed that the two of them could leave without any suspicions. The isolation barrier was deactivated, and the two of them left the room. The two of them walked towards the entrance of the town, but they were also talking with the powerful people of the town. Shang was officially the Town…

The two guards put the Communication Crystal away and looked at Shang. Ever since arriving, Shang hadn't said a single word, which made him seem kind of spooky. The guards didn't say anything for a couple of seconds. They were not certain how powerful Shang was, but he had to be powerful. After all, the person from the big city said that Shang might directly purchase the town. "What Realm does the Impose Stage equate to?" one of the guards asked nervously. "Fifth," Shang answered with an emotionless…

"Show your pass." Shang stood in front of two huge gates, almost 200 meters tall. This was the entrance to a city, something Shang hadn't been to in a very long time. At the moment, two Mages sat in some chairs beside the gate. Surprisingly, they were only Late High Mages, which was unusual. Most cities Shang had been to had Archmage guards, but this place only had Late High Mages as guards. However, that actually made sense. After all, this wasn't actually a city but a town. In Area 23, this…

Shang didn't seem any different than usual, but deep inside, he felt like he had nearly died, which might actually have been true. 'I did it, somehow,' Shang thought without showing anything on the outside. 'Going on the offense had been the right call.' Shang wanted to sigh so badly, but he couldn't show any uncertainty on the outside. "So, what now?" Shang asked. "Do I just get resources now?" "You're a special case," the Keeper said, still looking away from Shang. "Usually, we would assign you to a…

As soon as the Keeper asked that question, Shang was thrown into a problematic situation again. Yes, he was supposed to trust them and tell them truthfully about his powers, but he couldn't possibly tell them the real truth right now. Obviously, Shang decided to go with Addition and Subtraction first since that represented the concept of Entropy better. Additionally, the contrast between Addition and Subtraction made it more fitting for a dual wield style. Twilight and Temperature didn't fit very…

The current situation was very strange to Shang. For over two centuries, he had kept only to himself, not daring to tell anyone about anything related to his powers. He couldn't let anyone find out that he was the Child of Calamity. Because of that, he had to keep secret that he had four Affinities. Because of that, he had to keep secret that he had four States. Additionally, Shang also had an entirely separate issue that also forced him to keep secrets. Shang was being pursued by the Lightning…

Shang had finally comprehended the Concept of Addition. For the first time in a long while, Shang actually returned to the real world. At that point, Shang also realized something. He had been gone for probably years, which meant that no one had been able to contact him for that amount of time. Most likely, Shang's fate had already been decided by the higher-ups, and the fact that Shang was still alive meant that they didn't decide to use him as a scapegoat. Shang stood up and slowly walked over to…
