From Alchemy Apprentice to God-King of Ten Thousand Laws

How long does it take to craft a ninth-tier demonic insect? Matthew’s answer: Give me ten seconds!

After working overtime nonstop, Matthew opens his eyes to find he has transmigrated into the body of an alchemy apprentice in the Hunters’ Guild.

The good news: demonic insects can grant people magic and special abilities.

The bad news: he’s an apprentice who can’t even afford a meal.

Fortunately, he awakens the “Record of Otherworlds,” which lets him steal other people’s traits through intimate contact, gain recipes, and even refine wild demonic insects in an instant.

[Alchemy Maniac: The more demonic insects you craft, the higher your success rate.]

[Reconstruction Master: Optimize and reconstruct existing recipes, raising them by one tier.]

[Outrageous to Gods and Men: Use heaven-defying methods to craft absolutely forbidden demonic insects.]

While everyone else is crafting demonic insects by the book, Matthew has already struck out on a different path and forged his own road to the heavens!

Hundreds of years later, the Dark Archmage is pursued and surrounded by the great empires and guilds, with nowhere left to retreat.

Facing the forces gathered to destroy him, Matthew throws back his head and laughs.

“Have you never heard that heaven always leaves a way out? Watch me refine insects, refine people, and then refine the heavens!”
