Wizards hold a supreme position across all continents and planes. Mysterious, wise, cruel, and bloody—these are practically synonymous with wizards. But what are real wizards like? After coming into contact with the wizarding world, Angor came to a conclusion: Wizards are a group of people who use idealistic thinking to illuminate themselves, yet use a materialistic attitude to dialectically analyze the world. In other words, they are a group of unconventional scientists who trudge alone on the path of pursuing truth with a rigorous attitude. Multiple worlds, endlessly overlapping. Intelligent beings, guided by some unseen force, have forged their own paths of civilization. The wizarding world, with its unique cultivation civilization, spans countless planes. Even with the Wizarding World's immense power, the true nature of the universe and the mysteries of dimensions remain unfathomable. Until, a traveler from across the multiverse visited this world. (The traveler is not the protagonist, not the protagonist, not the protagonist—I'm saying it three times because it's important!)
