Mystery: Becoming a Creator Through the Doorway

Anjou's initiative in approaching Viscount Grelint to recommend himself and claiming to be an extraordinary person of the Gate was based on principled considerations.

As a time traveler, he was completely bewildered the moment he stepped out of his own little world.

A leaden-gray sky enveloped the industrial city, and the damp, cold air, carrying the smell of coal and a faint sour odor, filled the nostrils, causing the respiratory tract to itch slightly.

This place must be hell for people with rhinitis.

At the same time, perhaps due to a passive ability that came with the small world, An Ruowang, whose respiratory tract was being tortured, had all the languages ​​currently being used by intelligent life in this world flood into her mind, including Rune, Ancient Fusak, Ancient Hermes, Elvish, Giant's...

But that wasn't all that gave him a headache.

Perhaps it was because of the change of environment, but in An Ruowang's memory, the forbidden knowledge she had gained from reading the original novel seemed to twinkle like stars in the night sky, subtly echoing this world.

Fallen Mother Goddess, Mother Tree of Desire, Ring of Fate, Superstar Overlord, Decaying King...

Based on the above, the answer is obvious.

This is the Lord of Mysteries, a fact that even his throbbing, dizzy head could provide.

No one would like to be transported to this world.

In this world, knowledge is poisonous.

If one's rank is insufficient, even knowing some things about the past can bring misfortune, and may even cause mutations, such as being covered in red hair.

For ordinary people who don't have any special abilities, coming into this world is probably a misfortune.

If An Ruowang hadn't had that fortuitous encounter, he might have died the moment he landed, simply because "you know too much."

On the bright side, however, there are foolproof ways to upgrade in this world.

There's no need to test for any spiritual roots, nor to rely on any innate bloodline or supreme bones. All you need to do is find materials, take magic potions, and then act as a digester to transform from an ordinary person into an extraordinary one, or even a true god or an ancient being.

Therefore, traveling to this world isn't all bad; it's the world where it's easiest to achieve a breakthrough from 0 to 1.

Having determined which world she was in, and considering the Victorian-style buildings and the people's clothing, An Ruowang roughly concluded that she was currently within the territory of the Kingdom of Rune.

This should be considered a good thing.

After all, this is the stage where the original protagonists are active, and An Ruowang understands the social environment and political ecology of this country, which can be considered as having some advantage.

If he were to land elsewhere, whether it be the unfamiliar Fusak Empire, the Forsaken Lands, or the Southern Continent as a colony, the start would be far more painful than it is now.

An Ruowang had considered whether to simply call out "Adam" and use her vision of the future storyline in exchange for investment.

However, he was just an ordinary person who controlled a small world the size of his bedroom, and he had no power.

Doing so would undoubtedly mean handing your fate over to someone else.

To let others decide your fate is the act of a coward.

Moreover, whether you call it being naturally suspicious or insecure, An Ruowang didn't really trust Adam, who made the braised noodles so delicious.

Ultimately, one can only rely on oneself.

Afterwards, speaking in broken Rune, An Ruowang asked passersby and learned that it was June 15, 1349, and that he was in Backlund, the capital of the Kingdom of Rune.

After carefully sorting through his memories of the Lord of Mysteries, he pondered for a while and then chose Viscount Grelint, who appeared in the original work and aspired to become an extraordinary being, as his starting point and destination in this world.

Besides its basic storage capabilities, the small world within An Ruowang's body also brought him many benefits; the slight enhancement of his physical fitness and the improvement of his memory were only minor aspects.

Coincidentally, out of curiosity about the world's worldview, he had once taken the initiative to learn about the path to godhood.

As a result, he learned about potion recipes from many sources.

Keep in mind that a single Sequence 9 potion recipe is worth between 200 and 300 gold pounds.

This amount of gold pounds, if converted to RMB based on its purchasing power, would be roughly equivalent to two or three hundred thousand yuan.

Not to mention, as the sequence level increases, the price of potion recipes also rises accordingly, and they are often in short supply, making it a seller's market.

The knowledge An Ruowang possessed had already made him one of the richest people in Backlund.

He claims to be an extraordinary being of that pathway because he can use the small world to store objects and himself, thus providing the basis for pretending to be an extraordinary being of that pathway.

As he proclaimed, An Ruowang also intended to become an extraordinary being of the Gate Path—a Gate Path possessing spatial authority, which might complement the Small World and rapidly expand its volume.

In addition, this approach is considered the most intense of the 22 approaches, possessing a kind of beauty in its intensity.

"Apprenticeship pathway?"

This was the first time Grelint had heard of this method: "Would you mind telling me about it?"

An Ruowang could tell from Grelint's expression that, because of the feat he had previously demonstrated of containing Sumeru within a mustard seed, this person who originally wanted to pursue the path of a pharmacist was now starting to take an apprenticeship path.

However, he wasn't there to open a charity and give this viscount a free introduction to occultism.

"Knowledge is priceless, my friend," Anruowang said calmly, looking at Grelint.

"Oh, of course..."

Knowing he had been impolite in his eagerness, Grynt coughed lightly to cover his embarrassment: "Mr. Aleister, please don't hesitate to ask me for anything."

"Could I see a list of your family's treasures?"

An Ruowang revealed one of the purposes of her trip: "I am collecting materials for a magic potion in order to advance my career."

Because his father died young, the fortunate Grelint inherited the title at the age of twenty, thus gaining access to various salons and balls, as well as complete control over the wealth and family treasury.

This is what makes him different from his noble friends who also have a fondness for the occult, and it's also one of the reasons why An Ruowang approached him first.

These nobles, whose positions were neither high nor low, had enough status and access to learn about the existence of extraordinary individuals and potions, but because they did not know the specific recipes for potions, they could not recognize extraordinary materials even if they were in the treasury, and even if they did recognize them, they did not know how to use them.

Faced with An Ruowang's request, Grylint showed 1000% enthusiasm: "Why bother with all that, Mr. Aleister? Please come directly to the collection room with me."

On the one hand, he was unsure whether the names registered on the collection list matched the materials An Ruowang needed; on the other hand, this was also a way for him to demonstrate his strength and financial resources to An Ruowang.

As for whether he's afraid that An Ruowang, this extraordinary individual, will become envious and then kill him for robbery?

This is Queens, a place with excellent security and regulation, and it's not too far from St. Samuel's Church, the headquarters of the Church of St. Backlund, located in the North Side.

Moreover, both were nobles, unlike those who would die young for various reasons.

Only short-lived species, because they don't live long, will suddenly act rashly and take risks, being short-sighted, reckless, stingy, greedy, naive, and prone to inconsistency.

This lack of long-term planning is determined by their limited lifespan.
