Mystery: Becoming a Creator Through the Doorway

The next day.

After a good rest, An Ruowang greeted the new day with full energy.

He sat on the edge of the bed, stretched his shoulders, and felt the abundant energy in his body.

He actually prefers the feeling of being completely exhausted and falling asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow, rather than tossing and turning in bed unable to sleep.

When I woke up the next day and looked back on the day, I could still feel particularly fulfilled—there was no emptiness that I felt when I looked back and felt like I hadn't done anything, hadn't remembered anything, and had wasted the whole day.

After washing up, An Ruowang went to the study, picked out a book on mysticism that she had borrowed from Abraham, and began to read it seriously.

The last time he seriously studied books about knowledge instead of novels was probably during his university final exam week.

However, unlike back then when he wanted to devour books to gain knowledge directly, he is now a completely different person.

The comprehensive improvement in personal qualities brought about by the small world naturally includes memory.

Even comprehension skills improve in tandem with the enhancement of spirituality and inspiration.

If he were allowed to go back to take the college entrance exam now, he would be confident that he could memorize the knowledge he had forgotten within a few days.

While reading, An Ruowang also took notes and copied down some important knowledge.

On the one hand, he played the role of "recorder" in advance; on the other hand, this was also a habit he developed while learning.

In the information age, such recording and excerpting would be much more convenient; you could simply copy and paste, or take a screenshot, perform OCR text recognition, and then extract and archive the text.

However, since the conditions are not right now, this is the only thing An Ruowang can do.

After all, it was essential for him to complete the foundation of the occult system.

Even now, he only has a vague concept of the spiritual realm and the astral realm, which are the foundation and origin of this world.

Abraham's books and records certainly reflect their own understanding and research on this subject.

In a sense, this can also be considered "physics" knowledge of this world.

After today, An Ruowang felt that he could still expand his sources of knowledge through the Church of the Night and cross-reference the knowledge he had acquired from Abraham.

The church shouldn't refuse such a small request from a family member to read books, right?

Besides reading and studying, he has another important thing to do today.

He needs to test the small world's ability to digest two properties simultaneously.

According to previous deductions, if the characteristics of different pathways are digested simultaneously, the spiritual imprint of the original creator contained within them may conflict.

This conflict is what caused instability and division in the original creator, but it was actually a good thing for him.

When the mental imprints attack each other, the difficulty for him to digest the characteristics will be significantly reduced.

But all of this is just theory.

It needs to be verified in practice.

When she had almost finished reading and was starting to feel a bit bored, An Ruowang used a bookmark to mark where she was in the book that day, then closed the book and put away her reading notes.

He got up, stretched, and then tentatively called out:

"Ms. Sharon?"

There was no response; only his own voice echoed in the study.

Given Sharon's personality and habits, she would have responded to him directly if she were present.

It seems he is indeed gone.

While having someone protecting you at all times provides a sense of security, the feeling of having no personal space can be quite unsettling and uncomfortable.

Fortunately, An Ruowang has a world that belongs to her alone.

Even if Sharon was there, but didn't say anything, it didn't really matter.

With a thought, An Ruowang entered the small world.

Looking up, the gray-white void still stretched endlessly.

But beneath his feet was a finely finished floor, solid and textured, making the entire void world a kind of "round sky and square earth".

During this time, he specifically renovated a part of this world.

A desk, a few chairs, a row of shelves...

In the corner, ample supplies were piled up: canned goods, biscuits, water...

There are also several sets of clothes and emergency medicines.

There was even a double bed with a soft mattress, just in case.

As for why he, the only person in the world, needs a double bed?

Haha, most people who have lived in school dormitories and slept in bunk beds or beds with desks underneath would want to sleep in a big bed where they can stretch out and roll around freely.

All of these are physical items that An Ruowang brought in from the outside world, making the small world seem like his bedroom.

This is probably the most peaceful corner of the world for him.

A space that is completely your own, isolated from the outside world, where you can hide away at any time.

However, just a few steps further ahead, a completely different scene unfolds.

The white void began anew there, with no distant or near reference points; the whole world seemed infinitely far away, yet at the same time, infinitely near.

This is the volume that the small world has expanded in the past few days.

After he finished renovating the area, the small world grew a little more, generating many plots of land waiting to be developed.

The elaborately decorated territory and the desolate wilderness of the primitive void coexist in this small world.

An Ruowang stood on this dividing line for a while, feeling as if she were standing on the "edge" and "end" of the world.

He withdrew his gaze, turned back and walked towards the renovated "bedroom," arriving at the storage shelf.

Before the time travel, this place would mostly contain toys, such as figurines, Gundam models, Kamen Rider belts, or Ultraman transformation devices.

However, now, this place is filled with magical items or items with extraordinary properties.

On the top shelf are the Star Staff, Peyton's Sword of Law, the Navigator's Hat, the Sun Brooch, and a stack of golden contracts—mostly magical items.

There are now three copies of the contract that I obtained from Isengard.

Last night, to avoid Abraham's temptations in the future, he took the initiative to sign an "unbreakable covenant" with Abraham, and thus used several copies.

As for the "Fortune Accessory" and the magical item corresponding to the "Listener," since An Ruowang had already partially eaten it with his small world, they were placed on another layer.

An Ruowang focused her gaze on the layer specifically for displaying extraordinary characteristics.

Aside from the Velvet Curtain of the Diviner pathway, there are currently only the Gate pathway traits here, a total of 6 from Sequence 8 "The Trickster" to Sequence 3 "The Wanderer".

Because of An Ruowang's request, what he obtained were the characteristics extracted from the extraordinary beings of the Abraham family after their deaths, rather than the main material.

An Ruowang picked out the palm-sized, silver-white box, which was the container for the "Wanderer" characteristic, and opened it.

Actually, the action of opening it is not necessary; it's purely for his sense of ritual.

An Ruowang has considerable power to suppress and control the items in this small world, and the decoration was completed in this way. Otherwise, he would have been exhausted to death if he had to move them by himself.

This is also the basis for his use of the small world as an equipment slot in a certain sense.
