This version of the System seemed a little off. But who cares! Now that he had a System, who would bother with conventional research? Alchemy, begin! And so... It started with making a glass of lemonade and ended with refining the [Universal Elixir: Azoth]. It started with fixing the wiring in a rented apartment and ended with constructing the [Foundation of Creation: Myriad Forms Alchemy Array].

It started with typing the first line of code and ended with creating the [All-Knowing Spirit: Laplace’s Demon].
