In the vast darkness within him, Tyler's consciousness hovered above his Mana body. He didn't want to believe his conclusions, because just the thought of the demon king manipulating his life in Neron for more than 3 years until he was finally captured and imprisoned under the castle frightened him to his core. Someone like that would've to be nearly omnipotent.

How in the world could someone like that be killed off by mere humans, even if they had the aid of an artifact. If he was truly that powerful, he should've known he was going to be betrayed by his generals and prepared for it. Does that mean something went wrong, or am I his backup plan?

Tyler was starting to get a migraine and didn't want to torture himself anymore, wasting more of his time. Perhaps all this might be part of some master plan, or maybe he was being delusional but, as long as he was alive, he wouldn't give his body to anyone.

He took a deep breath even though he was just a spiritual consciousness and was incapable of such actions. He slowly returned his consciousness to his body and opened his eyes. Though he only expanded his Mana body a bit, it was enough for now as he couldn't rush the process even with knowledge of advanced magic runes.

What Tyler hadn't expected was the damage that had been done to his Mana body already. He felt frustrated as he knew that expending too much mana at once like what had happened in the forest could permanently damage his Mana body. Even in a very dangerous situation, he needed to be fully aware of his mana flow at all times, which would not be an easy task.

'Mmm... What should I do now?'

He didn't know why but he felt his time in the library was coming to an end and he wouldn't have enough time to learn all the way through all three levels of intermediate magic runes. Sigh... "I guess I can just learn the spells without activating them for now... Mmm, I wonder if there are any skill books or tomes here?"

He picked up the Tier 2 spellbook he had brought with him and started reading. With his knowledge of level one intermediate magic runes, he quickly learned the theory of the spell and all he needed to do was build the magic circle with those runes to activate the spell within him. He memorized the structure of the magic runes as he left that section of the library and walked in a particular direction.

He would learn as many useful tier 2 spells as he could on his way to his destination so he occasionally stopped and flipped through other books he had picked up along the way. Since Tier 1 spells took very little time to learn and there were a lot of them on a single book, he also picked up some of them and learned them. He had also picked up some of the magic scrolls he had seen along the way, taking his time to stack up on the ones he might need.

Since he couldn't learn Tier 3 and above spells yet, he picked Tier 3 scrolls like |Flight| and |Communicate| along with various others, including divination scrolls, Anti-Divination scrolls, and ended up being forced to turn his shirt into a makeshift bag he tied around his waist.

Just like this, a few more hours went by and he arrived at his destination. Tyler stared at the artifacts and magic items in front of him and he smiled. Last time he was too scared to touch them but right now he had learned a spell just for this and even took the risk of expanding his Mana body to give him more control.

Tyler looked at the ring in front of him and raise a hand in front of it.

"Appraise Magic Item!"

As the magic circle slowly formed in front of the ring. He constructed the magic circle with ease and it soon took shape and the spell activated. Tyler instinctively turned his head around to stare at the library, however, nothing happened. His guess was right, the level of disturbance was almost non-existent and could not disturb the library.

Focusing back on the artifact, knowledge about the ring in front of him entered his brain like it had been there all along.

♦♦♦♦

•Monarch Ring• [Artifact]

The ring of a Supreme ruler. It contains the insignia of the King and holds his authority within. This item bonds to its welder when it is first activated and can only be used by another when the owners' soul is destroyed or no longer bond to this plane.

Currently Bound to None

Primary Effect: Monarch Authority.

Secondary Effects: ?????

"What a useless piece of junk."

Tyler was annoyed by what he saw in his mind. The ring was basically useless to him and the only reason he still had an interest in it was that it was probably the key to the secret door behind the throne. Why would he want something that was mostly more trouble than it's worth luckily it would only be bound upon activation so he didn't have to worry about that?

He picked up the ring and stuffed it in his pocket and proceeded to the next item and activated Appraisal on it as well. It was a necklace whose chain was made out of an unknown metal and had what looked like an angel wing attached to a sky blue gem that resembled a teardrop attached to it.

•Iris Tears• [Artifact]

The last drop of the goddess of the sky caught by a hermit and preserved in a sea crystal giving the energy within an additional element. As the goddess of the sky, Iris has complete control over the wind and clouds, able to change the weather at will.

Primary Effects: [Spell] Weather Control. Tier 7

Secondary Effects: Complete immunity to all attacks of the wind element.

Secondary Effects 2: Greater Resistance to attacks of the water element. (Tier 5 and below.)

♦♦♦♦

"Wow!" Tyler exclaimed in Surprise, any form of Resistance was something that one developed over time as they advance in magic. It was something that follows the direction a magic-user follows in their magic careers, a fire mage would develop fire Resistance as their mana bodies had been constantly fused with fire magic runes. This was why most people loved to be specialists as they felt the contradiction of the elements would damage their mana bodies.

Tyler wasn't sure about this though as he had heard about heroes using multiple elements, but he wouldn't disregard it either, especially with the current state of his Mana body. The fact that the Iris Tears necklace was powerful remained within him. The only problem though was the design, it was too girly.

"Huh, I promised her I'll help her get stronger didn't I, this might be good for her right?" He thought about it for a while and disregarded the thought, he wasn't nice enough to randomly give something this valuable away, even if he did, he would have to get something of equal value back in return. Either way, it was good to take it with him for now.

He picked up the necklace and stuffed it in his other pocket as he walked up to another item that caught his attention. He had a vague idea what it was as it had the shape of a storage box caved into it but he used Appraisal on it just to be safe.

♦♦♦♦

•Spacial Infinity• [Artifact]

A king's storage space should be the best. This one has no limit, what more could you ask for.

Must be bound to host.

Currently Bound to None

Primary Effect: Unlimited Spatial storage.

Secondary Effect: [Skill] Spatial Distortion Tier 7

- To control space is the right of a king, but this one can only offer distortion, allowing my king to bend the rules to his will. Please forgive this one oh my king.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

Secondary Effects 2: [Skill] Spatial Movement Tier 5

- This one is proud to offer my king the power to move anywhere within your line of sight by deceiving space with the cost of Mana for a limit of 4 times a day.

Uniqueness - Living Properties.

Tyler stared at the ring in disbelief. He had always wondered why they made storage rings as a storage box seems more logical since most people could only equip a limited number of magic artifacts and items at a time as it taxed the body and mind. While a storage space ring count as a magic item a storage box did not, but who knew that these things hid such secrets.

Two skills, ignoring the sentient description of the item and skills, he was amazed at how amazing the skills were. Controlling space was a type of magic he didn't even know existed and now he had access to it. If just a storage ring was this broken he wondered what the other items would contain.

So far his luck was good and all three items had no side effects although only magic artifacts had negative side effects since they were so much more powerful than magic items. Well, he had heard that those artifacts with side effects were failed products by Mages and Sorcerer's that weren't skilled enough to make those artifacts and the ones that were completed had no such thing.

He couldn't help but wonder if every single artifact and item here was completed and without flaws. Well, there was only one way to find out and he would be fine even if they weren't. He picked up the Unlimited storage ring and wore it on his left index finger when a sudden wave of energy left his body and entered the ring trying to activate it without his consent.

A sudden chill ran down his spine as Tyler immediately knew, he fucked up. The sudden disturbance in the space started a chain reaction as the ground quaked, the wall shook violently and Tyler once again was sent flying out of the library slamming headfirst into the wall at the opposite side of the library's door.

The library door shut with a bang and the room returned to its previous calm. Tyler rubbed the back of his head and stood back up, he understood what had happened better now than the first time and he couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment.

His thoughts were quickly shattered by the drained feeling he felt as he raised his left arm to look at the magic artifact in his finger. Large amounts of energy were quickly leaving his body and being absorbed by the ring almost as if it had a will of its own. Tyler's mind quickly flashback to the uniqueness he has seen in his mind about the ring. It had a living property, which meant it could act on its own sometimes.

Wasn't this a negative effect, well it was too late to regret it now, as Tyler forcibly controlled the amount of energy that left his body? He was already pissed off from thinking about what the previous demon king might have done to him and he wasn't going to let such a thing happen again especially not by junk metal like this.

Since this thing likes energy so much Tyler was going to teach it a lesson. He inserted the magic runes of the spell 'Wave of Despair' into his energy and forcefully fed it to the ring in one fell swoop. The ring vibrated in his finger and soon quieted down.

Tyler observes the now docile ring for a while before nodding in satisfaction. He didn't need to activate a spell for a simple existence like this. He then continued the activation process since it was already almost done. It only took about 30 seconds before an aura of force escaped the ring.

Tyler felt the skill within the ring enter his mind as they gave him access to how they were used. The effects of both skills were felt in the aura as Tyler could sense the distortion in space. His own aura then merged with the Ring's and exploded outwards, it filled the entire castle and was only restricted by the barrier outside.

Tyler felt like he could control the space within the barrier, bending the laws of reality to his will. Although this was limited as it was only the power of a magic artifact. He recalled the aura back into the ring and the effects were gone.

Now that he was done with that Tyler breathe a sigh of relief, if he hadn't excitedly put on the ring he would have still had a few hours in the magic library.

He shook his head to stop thinking about it as he walked to the balcony for some fresh air. He had been cooped up in the library for a while so he needed this, but upon entering the balcony he was stunned by what he saw, a beautiful white scenery lay right before his eyes.

"Snow?"
