Roland was the number one Mage among players, and O'Neal was number two.
This was recognized by all Mage players.
And most importantly, O'Neal was strong with calculations.
He could optimize the spells Roland posted on the forum one more time.
Lower magic power consumption, a little more power, and lower learning requirements.
It sounded impressive, and it was impressive.
But neither other players nor O'Neal himself thought he was stronger than Roland.
Because Roland was the pioneer, while what O'Neal did could only be considered an improvement.
Creation was always much harder and more important than improvement, no matter what—it was, after all, forging a new path.
But unlike Roland's habit of running about and fooling around with the game world NPCs every day, O'Neal had gathered a large group of Mages and used communication software to communicate and progress together offline.
