He thought it through carefully. Ran multiple simulations.
After advancing to a Level 2 Seer, Kanzaki Rei conducted several trials across three separate future projections, repeatedly experimenting with different wishes.
"God-Tier Talent — My Wish."
The first thing he tested… was how the wish itself was evaluated.
First Wish: "I prevent the destruction of the Secret Sea."
He projected forward to April 1st.
At that point, he found himself in the Moon Sea, still standing on the landmass of Ruilen Continent—only now, that continent had already been transported into the Moon Sea.
That day, he wandered across the Moon Sea, exploring aimlessly, checking nearby regions for other continents… and whether there was any knowledge worth "acquiring."
He did find several islands.
But forget kingdoms—there weren't even people.
Only monsters.
…Which made sense.
Who ever said every island in the ocean had civilization?
In reality, barren, lifeless islands were the norm.
The ocean was simply too vast.
Just like how star charts only mark valuable planets—not random drifting debris in the void.
Afterward, Kanzaki Rei attempted something else:
He tried sacrificing to the Moon Sea.
The result?
Completely useless.
The souls simply drifted into the Moon Sea like dust in the air—hovering, going nowhere. After circling out and back, they returned to his hand.
Nothing happened.
The Moon Sea… was normal.
Or perhaps not.
In this world, it was unclear which was "normal"—the Moon Sea or the Secret Sea.
But by his understanding of what an ocean should be—
This calm, natural sea felt right.
The Secret Sea, with its unfathomable depths and eerie unknowns… was the abnormal one.
He dove deeper.
Fish schools swam beneath the surface. Oceanic monsters existed—but far fewer, far less aggressive than in the Secret Sea.
The more he explored, the more one question formed:
Is the Secret Sea… broken?
He circled about half the Moon Sea before returning to Ruilen Continent.
He visited familiar faces—
Yuna.Luluwei.Kiyomi.Even Lothar.
That lucky king was still alive too.
As for An Zheng?
Gone.
The room he'd been sealed in… had simply been carved out of existence.
A void remained where the chamber once stood.
He'd likely been executed six days prior.
Kanzaki Rei wondered briefly what Roya and Samu must've thought—making the journey for nothing.
After that, he stopped wandering.
There was still too much knowledge left to learn.
He remained in the White Tower, studying.
Yuna could only sit nearby, watching with envy.
Because it was April 1st—
The Month of Chaos and Madness.
In leap years, studying during this time invited contamination and curses.
Yuna couldn't ignore corruption.
So she could only watch helplessly… as Kanzaki Rei devoured knowledge.
Her gaze burned with hunger.
With the boost from a Level 3 Scholar, his reading speed was terrifyingly fast.
Time passed.
He finished dozens of books on oceanography.
But they were all based on the Secret Sea.
Some knowledge carried over—but fundamentally, the two oceans were different.
He needed knowledge specific to the Moon Sea.
After dying twice in the Secret Sea, he had already learned one thing:
The ocean demanded respect.
At the same time, he continued testing his second wish.
Twenty-four hours passed quickly.
Soon—it was nearly April 2nd.
The foretold apocalypse had been April 1st.
Yet his wish…
Had not been fulfilled.
He had originally wanted to see how he would save the Secret Sea.
But now, it became clear—
The wish would not forcibly violate reality.
Instead, it behaved like this:
"It won't happen now—but one day, it will."
Which meant…
Would the Secret Sea be destroyed again?
And the next time—he would save it?
Or the time after that?
Or countless iterations later?
That was the terrifying part.
A wish not being fulfilled didn't mean it wasn't working.
It simply hadn't happened yet.
But someday…
It would.
Absurd.
Further Testing
He began experimenting more.
Wish: "I do not read 'Oceanic Strategy.'"
→ Instantly fulfilled.
Meaningless.
"I don't drink water.""I don't look at Yuna.""I don't sleep."
All instantly fulfilled.
Because he wasn't doing them to begin with.
Unless he was actively doing the action—
Like staring at Yuna, then looking away—that counted as completion.
Because wishes had no time constraints.
Any moment of fulfillment counted.
Probability Manipulation
Wish: "I roll a six."
→ Succeeded immediately.
Repeated multiple times—
Success rate: over 95%.
Even when it failed once—
The second roll succeeded.
He escalated:
"I roll five consecutive sixes."
→ Succeeded immediately.
Out of 20 repetitions:
15 succeeded on the first try
All succeeded within two attempts
Conclusion:
The wish heavily influenced probability.
But did not guarantee instant success.
Which led to a critical insight:
If something only had one chance—
Then making a wish beforehand…
Would guarantee success.
He wanted to try something bigger:
"I perfectly advance to Level 100 Mage."
But…
Too dangerous.
What if it took billions of years?
Or manifested in some twisted way?
Like a warped divine interpretation?
Better to stick with reality.
The world's known cap was Level 9.
Conceptual Limits
He tested stranger wishes:
"I can urinate 100 meters high."→ Achieved via water magic
"I have two heads."→ Achieved via flesh manipulation
"I can form a Rasengan by hand."→ Failed
Even when simulating it with magic—
It didn't count.
Why?
Because the definition depended on his understanding at the moment of wishing.
Not later reinterpretations.
A fake Rasengan… wasn't a real Rasengan.
Even if it looked identical.
Final Understanding
A wish =
His intent + his effort + probability alignment
If he did nothing—
The wish would be delayed indefinitely.
Additional Test
Wish: "I am not being observed."
→ Instantly fulfilled.
Useful.
It could detect surveillance.
He also realized—
While he couldn't name specific individuals in wishes…
He could refer to vague groups:
"others"
"living beings"
"monsters"
But not:
specific names like Izpalut, Eltymia, or Kiyomi
Causality Exploitation
Wish: "I am transported to the Moon Sea by the Continental Teleportation Spell."
→ Result:
Not just him—
The entire continent followed.
Because events were causally linked.
Which meant—
If he wished:
"I obtain the Mark of Reincarnation" → He would defeat Saint One
"I inherit the War God's legacy" → He would defeat the War God
Everything was connected.
Final Decision
All projections completed.
Three simulations.
Hundreds of wishes tested.
Most trivial.
A few profound.
Now—
Back in reality.
Kanzaki Rei sat on his bed, deep in thought.
He needed a wish that balanced:
short-term utility
long-term safety
minimal slot waste
He had explored both destinations:
Boundless Mountain → war, hostility, ancient horrors
Moon Sea → relatively stable, manageable danger
His intuition—his Seer instinct—grew stronger by the hour:
The Moon Sea was safer.
So—
He made his choice.
Wish:
"I am transported to the Moon Sea by the Continental Teleportation Spell."
