During the simulation at dawn, nothing dangerous had occurred.
Which made sense—
How could there be danger everywhere in this world?
Kanzaki Rei and Yuna arrived at the White Tower.
They registered their names.
"Kanzaki Rei… and Yuna?"
The staff member responsible for identity verification looked at their Scholar badges, then at their faces.
Two children… both Scholars?
The little girl was already a Level 3 Scholar, with third-tier White Tower access.
And the boy…
A fourth-tier Scholar?!
How could he possibly have such high authority?
The White Tower had no backdoors.
If there was one—
It was knowledge.
Only by possessing vast knowledge and making significant scholarly contributions could one earn the corresponding authority.
So…
An eight-year-old child…
A fourth-tier Scholar?
"Hehe~"
Kanzaki Rei gave a bright, friendly smile.
The staff member repeatedly compared their faces with the records.
They matched perfectly.
"…But children from the Arcane Sea?"
"Why are they in the Moonsea?"
In the end, the staff member shook his head.
This wasn't his concern.
His job was simply to verify identities—not to question personal details.
After retrieving their badges, Kanzaki Rei and Yuna entered the White Tower.
Even without revealing his combat class—
His Scholar identity alone was enough to earn respect anywhere.
It was a very convenient identity.
Knowledge didn't invite jealousy or suspicion.
At the same time, it granted access to a vast range of resources.
Most importantly—
It was universally recognized.
Unlike being Loren's Chief Mage.
Outside Loren, people would just ask:
"What's Loren?"
Meanwhile—
After Kanzaki Rei left—
The staff member uploaded their information into the White Tower database.
A record was created.
But the moment it was formed—
Everything about Kanzaki Rei became blurred.
[Today's Visiting Scholars]Name: ???Class: ???Scholar Rank: ???
The instant the record became unclear—
Kanzaki Rei felt it.
So…
The effect of God-Tier · Unsolvable Mystery wasn't limited to awakening.
From now on, whenever others tried to record information about him—
He could sense it.
And ordinarily—
As long as he didn't actively interact with others—
No one would record him at all.
Compared to Loren's White Tower—
The White Tower in Arlant City had a stronger metallic aesthetic.
There were already many Mechanics here.
Unlike Loren, where such classes were nearly nonexistent.
Some advancement holders had floating mechanical devices behind them—
Orb-like constructs known as "Crystal Eyes"—
Or hovering "Drone Artillery Arrays."
Their attire was also more fashionable.
Long black coats.
Briefcases.
A distinct, modern aesthetic.
Kanzaki Rei had already visited Arlant City once during his simulations.
But a single visit wasn't enough to fully understand such a vast place.
During the simulation—
His primary objective had been reconnaissance and stress testing.
Near the end of the simulation—
He had directly attempted to destroy the city.
To see how much high-level power it could mobilize.
From the results:
There were no Level 8 advancement holders in the city.
There was one strong Level 7—
The city's strongest warrior: Ruga.
And several weaker Level 7s.
Those weaker Level 7s—
He could fight them.
Even kill them.
But that strongest Level 7?
Very difficult.
Differences in strength within the same level were normal.
The gap could be as large as that between Iz and Fizer.
Even so—
While defeating him would be difficult—
Escaping at full strength posed no problem.
Thus, Kanzaki Rei had determined:
Arlant City was relatively safe.
Even if he caused trouble—
He wouldn't attract truly terrifying figures.
And with God-Tier · Unsolvable Mystery—
If he fled, no one would even remember who caused the incident.
It would become an unsolvable case.
The White Tower itself was highly secure.
If he went out exploring—
He could simply leave Yuna here.
He had no intention of bringing someone without combat ability into dangerous situations.
But leaving her at the White Tower in each new region?
That was a viable solution.
It almost felt like a daycare center from his school days.
If you couldn't go home at noon—
You stayed there.
"Wow…"
Yuna stared at the endless rows of bookshelves.
All of it—
New knowledge.
Clearly—
She wasn't going anywhere anytime soon.
Kanzaki Rei went straight to the fourth tier.
Looking around—
There were far more fourth-tier Scholars here than in Loren.
Back there, the floor had been nearly empty.
Here?
Bustling.
A true big city.
Which meant—
There were probably many Level 4 adventurers as well.
A book appeared in Kanzaki Rei's hand:
"Comprehensive Professions of the Moonsea."
He had picked it up from the first floor.
Compared to the Arcane Sea—
The Moonsea had far more standard professions.
Like the base game had received an expansion DLC.
In addition to familiar classes—
There were new ones:
Chef. Moon Prayer Caster. Illusionist. Shapeshifter. Martial Artist.
Shapeshifter…
Kanzaki Rei vaguely recalled—
Eltimi's full title was:
God of Skinning and Shapeshifting — Eltimi.
So she also possessed the authority of transformation.
Taking on another's appearance…
That counted as shapeshifting too.
This class allowed one to transform into various monsters—
Gaining different abilities based on form.
…Sounds like a Druid.
The fourth tier of the White Tower extended upward in a spiraling structure.
Ahead—
A barrier of light blocked the path.
Countless restrictions sealed the passage.
There was no physical door.
Just restrictions.
After all, with constant traffic—
Opening and closing doors repeatedly would be inconvenient.
Kanzaki Rei glanced at the barrier.
Hands in his pockets—
He walked straight through.
As if he were a fifth-tier Scholar.
He continued upward.
To the sixth tier.
There were far fewer people here.
Still—
Seven or eight individuals remained.
"Even at Level 6… there are already this many Scholars."
Impressive.
And this was just those present.
How many more existed elsewhere?
"…Hm."
He was about to proceed to the seventh tier—
When suddenly—
His gaze stopped.
On one bookshelf—
A prompt appeared.
[Hidden Item Detected]Hidden: "The Journey of an Endless Reincarnator (Volumes 1–10)"Hidden Content: Source of Reincarnation
A book about reincarnation?
Interesting.
After all—
He now possessed a Reincarnation Mark himself.
With a thought—
The entire row of books vanished from the shelf—
Appearing in his hands.
Swish—
In an instant, he teleported onto a nearby sofa.
The White Tower's tiers didn't correspond one-to-one with floors.
Each tier encompassed dozens of levels.
The sixth tier—
Was roughly equivalent to the 150th floor in height.
From the window—
The clouds were already beneath him.
Kanzaki Rei reclined on the sofa.
No rush.
Lulu Veyne and Reina were probably still choosing accommodations.
"The Journey of an Endless Reincarnator"
A full ten-volume series.
Each book as thick as a brick.
Why was a novel in the sixth tier?
Who organized these shelves?
Still—
Instead of directly unraveling its hidden content—
Kanzaki Rei began reading.
Page by page.
Recently—
The looming destruction of the Arcane Sea had weighed on his mind.
Even if it didn't directly concern him—
The sense of impending catastrophe lingered.
Now, in the Moonsea—
That burden had finally lifted.
Let the Arcane Sea drown if it must.
It no longer concerned him.
From now on—
He would remain an unremarkable child.
Quietly leveling up.
As he immersed himself in the novel—
He quickly read through volume after volume.
The story followed a being with a reincarnation body—
Living through cycle after cycle—
Growing stronger—
Changing fate.
Just reading it—
Gave Kanzaki Rei new insights into how to use reincarnation.
The greatest advantage of a reincarnator—
Was experience and knowledge.
And if one couldn't truly die—
Then there was one essential task:
Build an organization.
That way—
No matter how many times one reincarnated—
They could rise to power again in the shortest time possible.
It made sense.
If he were alone—
Even with rapid growth—
It would be difficult to influence the world early on.
But with a loyal organization?
As long as he could prove his identity—
Even at his weakest—
He could mobilize Level 7 or even Level 8 power.
Even if he chose not to level quickly in a given life—
He could still access high-level resources.
"…Yeah. An organization is necessary."
Now—
He was also an infinite reincarnator.
Even if killed—
He would simply enter the next life.
There was only one exception—
If he were killed by someone who had previously possessed reincarnation power.
In that case—
His Reincarnation Mark would be taken.
And he would lose the ability to reincarnate.
Which meant—
Aside from that scenario—
No one could truly kill him.
"…So my greatest threat right now…"
"…is Seiichi."
Reincarnation inheritance…
Was truly terrifying.
Endless lifespan.
Immortality.
If not for the fact that it could be passed on—
It would be absolute.
But—
Kanzaki Rei recalled the records from the Reincarnation Inheritance Hall.
The mark had passed through many generations.
Yet—
No one had remained invincible forever.
Eventually—
It was always taken by someone else.
…Perhaps that was fate.
Deep in concentration—
Kanzaki Rei read through book after book.
Each volume—
A different lifetime.
By the eighth volume—
A hand suddenly waved in front of him.
His focus shattered instantly.
He looked up.
Standing beside him—
Was a child.
White hair.
Red eyes.
…A child?
That was his first thought.
But in the next instant—
He remembered.
From the Month of Forgetting—
From the records he had left behind—
From the battle in the Forgotten Realm—
This appearance—
It was unmistakable.
Seiichi.
…Seiichi?
Why is he here?
Kanzaki Rei's heart tightened instantly.
His body tensed—
Already preparing for combat.
Fighting here—
Was the last thing he wanted.
Seiichi, however—
Looked at him with equal seriousness.
And confusion.
