Chapter 64: Everyone Wants A Universe In Their Soul Right?
(Throne of Magical Arcana)
_____
I woke up at the same time as the start of the novel but I have many, many advantages over the original MC of this novel, like I don't need to scavenge the trash to earn money to get a teacher sk I can learn how to read, I can just use a genjutsu on someone who knows and see their memories.
Also I already have everything unlocked in the Spirit Library unlike OG Lucien, MCs golden finger is a library filled with knowledge. Quite fitting for a world where knowledge is equals to power.
Getting out of my bed I shape shifted into Ethan, don't get me wrong, Lucien is a fine man but I rather not deal with his neighbors/family. So I left a dummy corpse and splashed some blood as if someone came in and killed Lucien.
I mean shit like this happens whenever you're found near a sorcerer and Lucien was just let go from the church for being neighbors with one.It's not a strecth that some fanatic would kill him for safe measure. I even left some religious symbols from Lucien's memories drawn with blood of course.
Getting out of the house I went to nicer looking places in the city while ignoring the crowd that's being gathered to watch the Sorcerer getting burned.
I need to learn how to read and write. It's weird people are speaking English [For plot purposes ] but the written language is different, they also have ancient languages that I need to learn from somewhere else. I would normally put the sorcerer in genjutsu but she won't live long enough and I don't need it urgently.
It took me 30 Minutes to find someone who can read and write and I learned from his memories.
Now that I am quite above in the starting point, first thing to do is get into that sorcerer's lair, there was some books about sorcery in there.
I also remember there was supposed to be a trap but I am equal to a demigod knight here. I am literally the highest level in this cultivation world, I will cultivate as a sorcerer on top of it to get my demi plane.
Also there are two ladies I want to add into my harem one of them is quite easy to get other is going to be my hardest challenge because she is happened to be bisexual but she's more inclined to females.
Ethan is handsome but he's not delicate looking like Lucien, also existence of my harem is going to be a big minus in Natasha's eyes.
Also I am going to add her soon to be ex girlfriend into my harem... Yeah I know I became a scum over the years.

Getting into the sewers I used an illusion to make myself invisible to the red eyed rodents and the homeless people who are secretly worshipping a demon and found the lair of the sorcerer.
Knowing there is a trap I carefully entered the room, first things first I pulled the annoying flower's plug killing the plant.
Second, I scanned every book with my sharingan even though I can't read most of the books, I just need the basics for now. I also need to become friends with Natasha to get my hands on some ancient magic kingdom language.
I know I can just get in their library but I have time to spent here until the time arrives for me to recover Sun's Corona. That event cannot be fast forwarded since I don't have access to World of Souls.
I am rather unwilling to leave a Divine Item and a store house full of resources. Lucien in the books couldn't take everything with him but I can just put the entire storehouse into my inventory.
Shaking my head I cleared my thoughts from the future plans, I at least have a year or two in this city. If I want to get closer to Silvia and Natasha my best bet is the Music Association.
I don't look into becoming famous like Lucien but Natasha is a sucker for anything new and shiny so I just need to get a job there and start humming songs when the two comes around.
Now the question remains, should I introduce myself to Rhine, Count Silver Eye. The only vampire that has their goddess's backing.
Alterna is an Ophis like character, she's the moon goddess also the goddess of vampires, she's also my equal, I legit cannot kill her before I became a full god due to how this world works.
Anyway she's not a antagonistic character she normally doesn't even show up but the plot will draw her out anyway, so being on friendly terms with the music loving vampire is to my benefit.
I was pulled out of my musings because I have been surrounded, I guess I should have worn something that screamed nobility since these guys are the scared type.
"Look guys let's see what we...." He couldn't finish his words because his head fell off. I just blasted my killing intent to the rest of the pathetic gang members.
I still have my Desperado ability to kill someone through sheer willpower so they all started dropping like flies.
Hmm this reminds me boss of this gang is going to attack Natasha alongside her cousin with the aid of Silvia (Because she was promised the location of magic congress where she could be safe), if I send Silvia to magic congress would they still attack?
'Plot will find a way.' I nod my head and keep walking.
My first target is finding someone who makes instruments, this world doesn't even have pianos while I am not that good at it, it will get me some recognition. It will also allow my entry to Music Association easier.
I am living in Aaltao, a city that's dubbed as City of Music where you can find street musicians everywhere. So finding a decent store selling instruments wasn't hard, some genjutsu and "bargaining" we came to an agreement on the how to split the profit.
The "hardest" part was the make the guy believe that these things will sold, I actually gave him a potential buyer as well. Since I remember Lucien's teacher was looking for something extra for his performance.
I am not helping him beyond that, I will just leech off on his fame to show off "my inventions" I know he has a sob story but it didn't make me cry like Zabuza&Haku's deaths.
