Nameless King

When Wain connected the two zones earlier, many exciting things happened, which was no exception. There were some pretty interesting messages in front of him.

[The previous bonuses from the two Voids, Frozen Land and Magical Forest of Azure Rivers, are preserved and active as well in this Void]

[The speed of appearance of all resources in the Forest of Frozen Dreams has been increased by 30%.]

[Forest of Frozen Dreams is a Medium Size Void, consisting of three territories. Given these conditions, you can appoint someone to oversee these territories. With your powers, you can grant two creatures with the Title of Knight.

Knights can control from one to three territories at a time. Knights will get an extra boost to stats resistances and accumulate Soul Essence faster. Knights will also have some power over creatures in territories they control]

'Oh, resources will grow 30% faster? That's a pretty big increase in speed. I can also assign another knight. It looks like Black Rabbit will get a reward for his efforts' Thought Wain.

Other than warriors, resources were the most important thing in any zone. They made the monsters stronger and the overall power of the zone higher. This led to wars won and even more strength and territories.

[Forest of Frozen Dreams is Rank-D Void, so resource growth will be redistributed and augmented by a new method. There are now ten different resource types growing in the Forest of Frozen Dreams.

Six of them are Common Rating, three Rare Rating, and one Epic Rating. The location is random. The resource type is linked to the territory where it will appear]

"What? Ten resources? That's incredible!" Wain exclaimed.

Before, in Frozen Land, only three types of resources grew, one in Snow Desert and two in Ice Caves. Moreover, some of the ten resources had quite high Ratings.

'Great, now Lui Bu and Edena definitely will not be lack of materials. Moreover, in addition to ice and snow, I have wood, water, plants, and insects. These are ideal conditions for the development of alchemy.' Wain thought.

[The Forest of Frozen Dream is a Rank-D Void consisting of three territories, Snow Desert, Ice Caves, and the Magical Forest of Azure Rivers. Given these circumstances and your strength and the power of your souls, Points of Interest will be created.

One Point of Interest will appear in each territory, except Ice Caves. In Ice Caves, the Point of Interest will be partially modified and transformed to increase effectiveness].

'Points of Interest? What are they?" Wain thought.

[They are unique places filled with energy and have special properties and effects. For example, the ice lake in Ice Caves is one such place. However, until now, it didn't have any effects other than the natural low temperature.]

'Unbelievable, it turns out that every area now has something similar to an ice lake. What's more, the ice lake has also changed. I must urgently find these places and new resources and learn about their effects.'

Wain wanted to go looking right away, but suddenly his Seal of Darkness began to throb violently. At one point, it even became painful. Wain's eyes glowed violet brightly, and several notifications appeared in front of him.

[Your importance in the World of Darkness has increased. Your seal has become stronger and has been upgraded to rank three.]

[You will now be able to locate a spatial rift at a distance of 200 meters, as well as see what level of danger and element hides behind the door of ink.

All your stats are increased by 15. Also, when using souls, you now get 15% more Soul Essence.

You can now see how resources and Points of Interest are in your Voids. You don't need to find them to do this, but the location of resources and Points of Interest will be hidden. You or your warriors must find them and explore the new terrain].

"А?" Wain was puzzled, but then he laughed out loud, "AHAHAHA, that's incredible!"

Wain immediately closed his eyes, and his Seal of Darkness glowed brightly. The ice beneath him turned to ink, and he found himself in a dark space.

This time it wasn't stars or ruins marking Voids and Arenas that floated around him, but something else.

In front of him hovered ten cards showing various resources. They were similar in size to playing cards, only black with a platinum frame. On the back of them was a sign in the shape of a black crown in a gray jaw.

Not far from the cards floated three silver-framed pictures. A definite glow emanated from each card and picture. Six cards glowed white, three glowed blue, and one glowed pink. This was an indication of their Rating.

All of these were resources that grow in the Forest of Frozen Dreams, as well as Points of Interest. First, Wain went to the paintings, he was curious to see what they were.

The first painting depicted an icy lake where Wain had rested and healed his wounds many times. Now the place has become even more effective.

[Ice Lake (First Chronicle, Rare Rating)

The water in this lake is special and does not freeze even in sub-zero temperatures.

Unprepared creatures may freeze to death if they risk a dip in these waters. However, this place is perfect for monsters with ice attributes or similar attributes.

For them, this temperature is average and poses no danger. The water in the lake has been infused with ice energy for a long time and now has certain effects.

*In water, regeneration is increased by 20%. The spread of poisons and other diseases is slowed by 300%.

*Speed of energy accumulation for creatures with ice attribute increased by 100%. Speed of energy accumulation for creatures with other attributes increased by 50%.

*There is a low probability that the creatures with ice attribute will evolve after being in the lake of ice for a long time. The more often they are in the water, the greater will be the chance]

'Woah, that sounds pretty strong, but it looks like I won't be able to rest there alone now...' Wain thought.

He liked the place, but he couldn't take the ice lake for himself. Now that it had such useful effects, he had to let other monsters in there.

What's more, all the monsters with the ice attribute wouldn't fit in there. He'd have to create queues or even visitation lists.

"Damn, it's like monsters and Void, but for some reason, it's starting to feel more like a city every time. I can't take this headache. I hope Black Rabbit can handle it." Wain muttered and moved on to the next painting.

The second painting depicted an oasis but an unusual one. The palm trees were white, as if covered with snow, and the water was the same color.

[Healing Oasis (First Chronicle, Rare Rating)

This small oasis appeared in the Snow Desert after a big burst of energy. In any lifeless place, there should be something like this. It looks like a single ray of light amidst the vast darkness.

The water in this lake is as gentle as milk, and a pleasant aura emanates from the palm trees.

*The water greatly increases the regeneration rate, up to 70%.

*The aura and smell emanating from the palm trees has a tonic effect and, with prolonged exposure, can cure curses aimed at damaging the creature's psyche.

*Sometimes coconuts may appear on palm trees, the juice of which increases protection against energy attacks by 20%]

"This is somewhat similar to the Ice Lake, but here so can grow an additional resource. It's interesting. The effect of the coconut juice is quite useful."

The third picture showed a barrel, but not of wood, but stone. A crack in one place from which a purple liquid slowly flowed.

[Stone Wine Barrel (First Chronicle, Epic Rating)

This Stone Barrel appeared in the Magical Forest of Azure Rivers after a big surge of energy.

The Stone Barrel is constantly infused with energy from the ground and the environment. During this time, wine is produced inside that tastes comparable to the sweetest and most delicate wines.

This wine is suitable for anyone who wants to relax and have fun. However, this wine has one big disadvantage or plus, everyone will decide for himself. Even a huge monster can get drunk from just a few sips.

*Wine speeds up regeneration by 10% increases Stamina and Vitality by 20 points within 30 minutes after application.

*Wine has a high concentration of energy, and therefore one sip is comparable to the absorption of a hundred crystals.

*Plants within a five meter radius of the Stone Cask of Wine will grow 500% faster but will contain high levels of alcohol and have a stupefying effect.

*Any creature that drinks wine will become intoxicated 1000% faster]

"Wow, that sounds great. Points of Interest is a nice innovation." Wain muttered and moved on to the resource cards.

He only had three resources at his disposal before. Each of them was pretty useful, but three kinds of resources were not enough. It was too few.

First, Wain wanted to see if anything had changed in the description of Energy Ice Crystal, Delicate Icefruit, and Desert Earth Root.

Two of the three cards were glowing white, and only Desert Earth Root was glowing blue.

Wain opened the description of Ice Crystal.

[Energy Ice Crystal (First Chronicle, Common Rating)

It is a small crystal growing in the Ice Caves for a long time. Initially, this crystal had only some energy, but the situation has changed because of the recent energy surge.

There is now 1.5 times more energy in each crystal, and the amount will gradually increase. At one point Energy Ice Crystals will begin to change and evolve to the next stage.

*If a creature with the ice attribute absorbs energy from the crystal, the efficiency is 150%.

*If a creature with any other attribute absorbs energy from the crystal, the efficiency is 100%

*Absorbing energy from Ice Crystal is contraindicated to creatures with the attribute of fire. It can cause serious injury and disrupt energy flows for a period of time]

Wain nodded. There were no drastic changes in the description, but some things had changed for the better.

"Hmm, even though the Rating has remained the same, the effectiveness has increased. Though, that's not surprising, even within the same Rating, different items, can have different power and effectiveness."

Wain moved on to the next card, which had a blue fruit with several protective spikes.

[Delicate Icefruit (First Chronicle, Common Rating)

This fruit grows on ice trees in places with low temperatures and special conditions. Despite its appearance, it is a very delicate fruit, which requires a special approach.

Delicate Icefruit is perfect for those who love refreshments. Each bite is like a breath of fresh air coming from the glaciers, with a slight sweetness and sourness. However, this fruit will be worse than poison for creatures with the fire attribute.

After the recent changes in Forest of Frozen Dreams, the amount of energy in the fruit has increased by 1.5 times. Also, the pit has become several times harder, and now it is much easier to pull out.

*Increases resistance to ice attribute by 7%.

This fruit is quite rare and has no special properties, but it can be used in alchemy to make various potions and not only].

'Understandably, Delicate Icefruit has changed about as much as Energy Ice Crystal. This resource has become more useful and easier to use. It's a good thing. Surely the goblins are tired of cleaning every fruit by now.'

Each resource was valuable. It was obvious. Sure, some resources had better properties and effects than others, but they could all be useful.

This is why Wain sought out alchemists. They could combine resources of different utilities and create something incredible.

The master alchemist could be compared to a professional chef. No matter what products he had, expensive or cheap, he could prepare something delicious and unusual.
