"Filverel, are you- My fellow disciple, going to support me on my cause? Are you going to make this world great again?" I rose from my seat and asked Filverel with flames in my eyes.
"I am! I am going to help you build this dream. I am going to be there whenever you need me!" Filverel also rose from his seat and was drank with zeal.
"Good, Filverel. I knew you would as soon as I heard the Master's praises about you. So, I considered you when I was planning." I said with a nod. As soon as I mentioned Master's praises, Filverel turned into a little girl praised by their crush.
"These are for you," I said, taking out two notebooks from my storage. I passed one first, "This is mine. On that notebook are the alchemical experiences I had when I was studying all around the world. When I showed them to Master, he accepted them to be unique and might be the cause for my swift rise. He is going to study them further to implement them in outer space, so they are extremely precious." I lied through my teeth and passed the notebook. I noted them down according to the memories I acquired. But they were indeed unique to Witch Queen.
"Than- Thank you, Miles." Filverel's hands were shaking when he accepted the notebook. He was dying to take a peek, but I was holding another notebook so, he had to listen to me more.
"As you know, Filverel, the exchange has to be made with information. I gave you my lifetime experiences, and in return, you have to share something with some value." I said and looked out of the window. "There is no useless information, and information is not gold. Yet information has grades. What I gave you is key to the success of alchemical breakthrough, and in return, information with the same value should be traded."
"Yes, yes, of course. Please forgive my rudeness. I just dazzled by the grace you have shown. Is there anything, in particular, you want to know. As the Master of the Association, I have access to much unique information." Filverel said, still holding the notebook like a priceless artifact.
"My Master and I have something in common, to be honest. It was another reason why Master took a fancy on me." I said as I was speaking something trivial. "I am longing to discover the secrets of cultivation and studying different breakthroughs from Level 10 to Level 11. Do you think you can fulfill my wishes?"
"Of course, as a Level 32 being, I had studied on the subject when I was younger. I have tons of books about it." Filverel said and took out a ring from a safe hidden behind the library. "These are all the information I have on breaking through from 10 to 11 and 20 to 21."
I took the ring without reservation and looked inside it. There were close to 100 books inside. Jackpot!
"Good. I see you are honest when it comes to trade, Filverel. Master wasn't wrong about you." I said as I rose from my seat and passed the second notebook, "This is from Master and has pill formulas and way to reduce timing on commonly known pill making. Since you gave me close to 100 books and My Master's and my dream are related, I will accept the trade, in exchange for two notebooks."
"Thank you, Miles. And please convey my thanks to Master Altair." Filverel also rose from his seat to see me to door. He walked with me all the way to the entrance of the Association, and it gave me another boost in fame.
"Alright then, Filverel. I will see you at the auction tomorrow night." I said without keeping my voice down. Everyone around us heard how I called the Master of the Alchemy Association.
"Right, take care of yourself, Miles." Filverel, oblivious to the eyes around us because of two notebooks lying on his desk, responded absentmindedly.
I left the street and found an alley to disappear, then found my way home. When I arrived home through a secret tunnel, I hastily removed the books Filverel handed over to me.
"Secret of cultivation is as old as the universe we are living in. When the first sentient beings discovered the cores and the elements, animals, and beast were cultivating instinctively. But how could these beasts were leveling up without the requirement of developing the elements?
Beast and animals are put under constant surveillance and studied. And it is discovered that the key to passing the first hurdle is being one with the universe and creating something hand to hand.
To key to leveling up to 11 from 10 is, drawing a new element from the universe and merging it with the existing element."
I read the first book with my mouth agape. There were many things I didn't know of before leaving the Temple. Because of its closed borders, there were only little could be learned there. I quickly read others and learned all the information in the books.
"What about innate double element users. They are born with two elements and have the combo element need to breakthrough. How should they level up from 10 to 11?" After reading more than 50 books, this question formed in my mind.
"There are exceptions to everything. All beings are born with one element, but rarely, there are some born with two elements." I finally found a book about the question formed in my mind when I was reading the last few.
"These are occasions can be two-elements awakening or Combo Element awakening.
Two-elements awakening is not a problem, per se. Because being awakened two elements can choose one to mix with the one drove from the universe.
But Combo Element is another issue. For a long time, those who awakened Combo Elements seen as cursed. Because awakened elements merged and created one already, so it was impossible for them to draw a new one to mix with their element."

I leaned back on the couch. "I need to smoke." It is too weird, too impossible.
Things I learned after reading 100 books, opened the door to a new world. There were many things I didn't know before. I couldn't possibly know. The isolated realm in the Temple prevented me to discover more about the cultivation system of the Universe. Because of my relation to my previous world, I just considered it the same with a game system. Oh, how wrong I was.
Fighter Level, the first ten levels of cultivation, starts with awakening an element. There are some exceptions, such as awakening two elements or two elements that can produce a combo element. I already knew two elements, and combo element awakening was rare, but how rare it is was beyond my comprehending.
In the path of cultivation, there was no fixed route. There was only one condition for leveling up, that is to learn more insights about your element. You can either learn it through beast cores or special items such as the artifact at the Temple, keeping it isolated. Because it was a high-level artifact with similar properties to my Broken Reality element, I was able to gain insight through it and leveled up at breakneck speed.
You can also learn insights from the mana in the atmosphere, and people call it meditation. By meditating, you can pull mana from the air and learn Insights of the Universe, the same as how cores have formed.
There are also schools. By teaching others, you can discover more. By learning from others, you can gain more insights. By training, you can progress. There is no fixed path, but all opened the same door, except for the system. I level up by killing. But there is no logic behind this. Unless, in every creature I kill, the system does not pull a bit of experience from the creature killed to feed me with this insight.
The second decimal realm is Warrior Level. One has to draw an element from the Universe to merge with their first element. Like the combo element, the merged element is different for each person. Of course, original elements can still be used.
There were notes on some of the books I took from Filverel. His first element was the Fire Element, and the second one he drew from the Universe was the Life element. He created Life Fire Element by combining them, which was also his success in alchemy. By merging his Combo Element to his Alchemy Fire, he has created a mightier fire that can increase the success rate and speed of pill making.
"There is an unlimited possibility of elements. By combining Iron Skin Element with Fire Element, you can acquire Fire Iron Skin Element can give a full resistance to fire and tough skin can take hits, or can also merge as Iron Skin can spit out fire.
All this new information widened my horizons. Question after question and answer after answer filled my mind. Possibilities of can-be-crafted elements woken up my gamer side. It also brought me to the last conundrum.
"How can Combo Element users can Level up?"
The answer is simple, to be honest. By breaking up their combo element, and creating a new one with their two elements.
"I don't want to!"
When I first read how they fixed the issue with combo element users, and I was unwilling as soon as I learned it. I love my Broken Reality element. It uses is limitless, and it can open me lots of possibilities in the future. One may think, 'After breaking it up, you are going to merge them again and acquire the same element. So, what is the problem with that?"
Wrong! Dead wrong! Combined elements have many factors before forming. One's life experience and the knowledge they know are all deciding factors forming the new element. Now that I progressed so much, and learned many things can influence my new combined element, I am unwilling to risk it. It may be stronger than the element I already have. But, I will not risk it.
Luckily, I have a system. I am different from beings in this universe who can only succumb to their fates. I have an extra element when I am a Fighter. I believe the system gift it to me for this reason.
I sat on the ground and started to think. I can draw a new element, and merge it with my shadow element to create a combined element. After that, I will be Level 11, a Warrior. But which element should I merge with my Shadow?
I sat on the ground and started to meditate. Endless black formed in front of my eyes. I connected with the universe. I imagined many shining dots and starts formed in the endless black. These are the elements, I could draw. It wasn't all choice, no. It was destiny and will. Not everyone could draw a Rare element or above. One had to have a connection with it and the will to resist its powers, or element would destroy the body.
I imagined myself to float from star to star. I have 'seen' and 'felt' their properties. There were countless elements, fire, lightning, water, ice, strength, sword mastery, bow mastery, iron skin, fire skin, wood skin, etc.
I felt a connection when I was window shopping. I approached 'a star' and felt it. It had the feeling of the ancient and future. It felt endless as if it was older than the universe. "What is this element?" Shadow Element in my Mana Pool was jumping happily. "They want to merge?" I thought for a while and willed the star in front of me to pulled in my body.
