A Level 2 Seer gains only a single mastery.
"Level 2 Seer Mastery — Self-Foresight: When prophesying about oneself, you can perceive a greater variety of possible destinies, reducing spiritual consumption further."
For Seers, there's no such thing as "exclusive" masteries.
Because there is only one Seer.
No one else can obtain this class—so naturally, every mastery belongs to that one individual alone.
As for whether those exclusivities still count after death…
Kanzaki Rei didn't know.
As for Seer skills, he gained an additional one:
"Prophecy Transmission."
This skill allowed him to transmit the future visions he perceived directly into another person's senses, letting them experience the same scene as if they were there themselves.
…That really does sound like something a Seer would get.
Kanzaki Rei recalled movies from his previous life—Seers in those stories often terrified people this way.
Showing others visions of rivers of blood, apocalyptic destruction—forcing the protagonist to desperately try to prevent that future.
But come to think of it…
He had never seen a story where the protagonist was a Seer.
The more he thought about it, the more unsettling it became.
…Wait.
Could it be… he wasn't the protagonist?
Kanzaki Rei focused inward, sensing the talent he had just obtained.
[Talent Acquired: God-Tier · My Heart's Desire >> God-Tier · My Heart's Desire]
…?
…What the hell?!
What kind of nonsense is this?!
A God-tier talent… turned into another God-tier talent?
No change at all?!
So this time there's literally zero gain?!
Come on—if it's already God-tier, couldn't it at least stack into something higher? Like a Super God-tier? Or at least a two-star God-tier or something?!
No improvement whatsoever… that just feels awful.
…
…Sigh. Whatever.
At least nothing degraded…
Pfft—don't even think about that kind of bad luck.
Absolutely not.
Kanzaki Rei examined the laws governing his talent.
Every talent formed a rune within his body—a God-tier rune, visible, perceptible, and activatable only by himself.
That rune was, in itself, a distortion of the world's rules.
God-Tier · My Heart's Desire
Make a wish directed at yourself. From that moment on, fate will develop toward the fulfillment of that wish, and it is destined to occur at some point in the future.
You cannot impose a time requirement on the wish.
The wish must be a concrete, real-world event.
The wish must involve yourself and the event—not other people alone or abstract occurrences.
For each level in Seer, you gain one available wish slot. After making a wish, it cannot be changed until fulfilled. Once fulfilled, the slot is freed again.
This was the talent Kanzaki Rei gained at Level 2 Seer.
And so far, it had the most restrictions of any talent he had ever obtained.
Every previous talent had been absurdly unrestricted.
Soul Extraction, for example, only required a mismatch between soul and body—then extraction was immediate.
Control over restrictions? As long as it was a restriction, he could take control—no extra conditions required.
God-tier talents were typically low in limitations but immense in effect.
But this one—
God-Tier · My Heart's Desire
—was constrained to an almost ridiculous degree.
Can't do this. Can't do that.
Feels like you can't do anything at all.
And yet…
It was also absurd.
It was, quite literally, absolute control over fate.
Once a wish was made, every action thereafter would naturally tilt toward its fulfillment.
And the most terrifying part—
It was guaranteed to happen.
No idea how it would come true.
But the fact that it would… was already outrageous.
Of course, wishes were limited.
And the number of wish slots was fixed.
If he made a wish that wouldn't be fulfilled for thousands—or tens of thousands—of years, that slot would remain occupied for just as long.
On top of that, the wish had to be a real, observable event—not an abstract concept.
For example:
"I want 100 more wish slots" — invalid.
But:
Picking up a cup of water.Completing a Mage advancement.The destruction of the Arcane Sea.
These were tangible, visible events—valid wishes.
And then there was the issue of slots.
He couldn't afford to make wishes that would take too long to complete.
Kanzaki Rei quickly formed a strategy.
The first wish should be short-term—something that could be fulfilled quickly.
Used flexibly in daily situations, turning uncertainty into inevitability.
The second wish, however…
That should be carefully planned.
A long-term wish.
Something that would ensure his safety.
After all, if the wish hadn't been fulfilled yet—
Then logically, he shouldn't die before it happens.
Like…
"I still have an unfulfilled wish, so I cannot die."
Even so, caution was critical.
One careless wish could easily turn into something that wouldn't be fulfilled for years—or worse.
And the wish must involve himself directly.
…
Better not rush it.
He'd experiment through future simulations first.
Kanzaki Rei truly feared making a poorly constructed wish and wasting a slot for years.
Both class advancements were complete.
After the Seer advancement, his daily future simulations increased from 2 to 4.
God-Tier · Future Simulation was utterly broken.
It was already overpowered just to simulate the future—but it even scaled with level.
If this were a game?
He'd be cursing the developers for garbage balancing.
But since it was happening to him—
All he could say was: excellent balancing.
No matter how it was designed, the numbers were perfect.
He decided to save today's two simulations.
March 25 was approaching—the day of Iz's decisive battle.
Better to conserve simulations in case something unexpected happened.
As for today?
He had already seen everything in his first simulation.
Every midnight, he simulated the entire day in advance.
Nothing could ambush him.
"Kronoria — Home of the Greatest Mage"
That was how Iz referred to his palace.
Everyone involved in this matter had gathered.
Lulu Veyne wouldn't participate in the battle, but she was still part of the team.
And since Reina Frost was an early awakener under Kumira's responsibility, Kumira cared deeply about her.
Especially since they would likely be separated for a long time afterward.
"The final battle is the day after tomorrow…" Crimson sat cross-legged on the floor, hands on his knees, his expression serious.
Kanzaki Rei and the others sat on the sofa.
Rei tilted his head.
"Crimson, why are you sitting on the floor when there's a sofa?"
Crimson replied solemnly:
"To enhance the gravity of the moment before the final battle."
…There was nothing solemn about it.
If these people were going to die in two days, maybe it would feel tragic.
But their deaths were years away.
Hard to feel any sense of tragedy.
Crimson continued:
"Anyway… the plan is for Iz to activate a random teleportation spell—but leave An Zheng behind."
"Then we surround him and kill him."
Kumira nodded.
"Mm, that's basically correct."
"But detailed tactics are still necessary."
So…
They were really going to deal with An Zheng.
Kanzaki Rei felt a faint complexity in his heart.
An Zheng hadn't actually done anything to him.
If anything, he had taught him Origin Magic.
Even gave him notes, insights, and self-created spells.
Without seeing the future, Rei might have respected him.
A powerful mage, unable to reach the origin, with a somewhat tragic fate.
But seeing the future…
Changed everything.
Iz said casually:
"I don't think we need tactics."
"Even alone, I could kill him."
Kumira pressed her forehead, sighing internally.
Hopeless.
One arrogant maniac. One idiot.
Their two damage dealers weren't normal at all.
And when they died?
She'd be the one resurrecting them.
All the pressure fell on the healer and defender.
Kanzaki Rei spoke:
"I think everyone's combat ability is fine."
"Instead of discussing how to defeat An Zheng, we should talk about what happens after we reach the new location."
"For example, Reina—she's still mid-way through her Level 4 to Level 5 advancement and hasn't fully fulfilled the Assassin's requirements."
"It'll take more time before she completes it."
"And without Kumira, she won't be able to finish the class advancement."
Everyone nodded.
That was true.
There was a workaround—Rei himself.
He possessed Origin Magic and could assist in advancement rituals.
Normally, for safety, Kumira would handle it.
But Iz had already thoroughly analyzed the spell—no issues found.
And Rei himself had verified it through future simulations.
…That shady mage who gave him the spell?
Turns out it was actually harmless.
Back then, Rei had been cautious.
A Level 6 mage versus his Level 2 self.
But now?
He was Level 4.
He had already killed multiple Level 6 advancement holders.
Now his mindset was simple:
What can that guy possibly do?
Kumira looked at him.
"Kanzaki Rei, I may need your help."
Rei nodded.
"I'll help where I can. Not just Reina—Yuna as well."
Though he intended to stay hidden and avoid trouble—
Small matters like this? He wouldn't ignore them.
Helping with advancement was fine.
Iz added:
"After teleportation, we might end up in the Boundless Mountains or the Lunar Sea."
"If it's the mountains, we gather at the Mountain Core."
"If it's the sea, we gather at the Moonlit Point."
"If neither—then we meet at the World Tree."
Reina frowned.
"Wait… can't we just teleport again to meet up?"
Kanzaki Rei answered:
"…Actually, no."
"After using random teleportation once, it can't be used again for two years."
"And there's no guarantee the second teleport would take you where you want."
"If you land in the same place twice, that's two years wasted."
Iz nodded.
"So it's better to head to the World Tree. That was our destination anyway."
High-level advancement holders all eventually moved toward the World Tree.
It was said that all answers regarding class origins could be found there.
Even An Zheng had reached it before.
And apparently, advancing from Level 7 to Level 8 required something from that place.
Reina suddenly froze.
"Wait… two years cooldown?"
"But Kanzaki Rei—you were teleported here, weren't you?"
Rei shrugged.
…Good question.
Iz had actually investigated this before.
And found that Rei could be teleported.
But he never exposed it.
Instead, he let everyone believe Rei had arrived via random teleportation.
As for why Rei had appeared in that dungeon?
To them, it remained an unsolvable mystery.
But Rei knew the answer clearly.
He hadn't come here through teleportation at all.
And now—
Everything about him had become an unsolvable enigma.
No one could figure him out.
Rei replied casually:
"My situation is… a bit special."
"Maybe what I experienced was different. This world has too many anomalies anyway."
He brushed it off.
Reina accepted the explanation, though still confused.
Kumira spoke gently:
"There may be unexpected dangers along the way."
"I hope everyone can protect themselves."
She summoned a small object.
A crystal sphere, with a green needle inside.
"This is my Life Pointer."
"It points to my location. If I die, it will shatter."
"I hope to see everyone again… and that we can reunite."
As expected of Kumira.
She could say things others would find too embarrassing to voice.
Everyone felt it—
But saying it out loud was another matter.
Kanzaki Rei smiled brightly, using his childlike appearance to his advantage.
"Yeah. Let's all meet again safely."
…
March 24.
The agreed day of teleportation.
All preparations were complete.
At midnight, Kanzaki Rei simulated the entire day.
Everything went smoothly.
That night—
The teleportation would activate.
The entire continent would vanish in an instant.
Leaving only An Zheng behind—
To face the encirclement of four legendary figures.
