《A Wizard’s Secret》A Wizard's Secret

"Dead?"
Franz felt Weim's life force in the dimension gradually dissipating before finally disappearing completely. Even the life force above the dimension disappeared. This meant that Weim was dead.
Right now, this dimension had become a masterless dimension!
Although it was a masterless dimension, neither Franz nor the other Legendary Wizards carried any thoughts at all. Anyone who had seen how easily Merlin killed Weim would never have any ideas about this dimension again.
Merlin's terror was by no means inferior to a Great Legend with five Maxims!
"Phew…"
Merlin also breathed a sigh of relief. At first, he was worried that the Avian Tribe had some desperate measures that could explode in a powerful force. However, it seemed now that he was overly concerned. There was no such method.
With Merlin's strength, he could suppress anyone who was not an Honored Legend. Except them, everyone else could be crushed directly, and would be no match for him.
Therefore, he also easily seized this dimension. Even the Avian Tribe, who prided themselves on their speed, could not escape and was killed by him. This had saved him some trouble.
After all, if they escaped, they might gather some stronger contenders, and Merlin would have to spend more energy to deal with them.
The Weim Dimension had become a masterless dimension. Merlin directly flew into the Weim Dimension, and immediately began to control its Elemental Origin.
Merlin was very familiar with controlling an Elemental Origin. He was not fighting for a dimension but he had killed Weim instead, resulting in a masterless dimension. That was why Merlin could easily control the Weim Dimension.
"The Origin of this dimension is very strong. It's not surprising that Weim wanted to occupy this dimension."
When Merlin took control of the dimension's Origin, he felt the power of the Elemental Origin. There was a Wind Origin, Flame Origin, Ice Origin, and so on.
Of course, the most important ones for Merlin were the Darkness Origin and Flame Origin. These two Origins were the most promising Elements for Merlin to form an ultimate Matrix.
"Wizard Franz, I've taken control of the Dimension Origin. If you'd like, please come in and have a look."
Merlin's Mind Power saw that Franz, Ducas, and the other Legendary Wizards were still outside. Thus, he shouted loudly.
"Haha, alright. We're just about to enter."
Franz did not stand on ceremony, and swiftly flew into the dimension with Ducas and the other Legendary Wizards. They could feel that the Dimension Origin had indeed been controlled by Merlin and glanced at each other. Their faces revealed traces of shock.

"I didn't expect Wizard Merlin to be so powerful. I'm afraid he's only second to Honored Legends."
Ducas said with emotion. They have not had the chance to occupy a dimension for very long since their arrival at the boundless territory. Ducas had occupied one dimension once, but he was expelled by a foreign tribe contender.
This time, Franz, with the help of the others had finally occupied a dimension. However, it was not stable. The Franz Dimension would only become more stable when Merlin had occupied other dimensions, and connected them with the Gerva Dimension.
"Wizard Merlin, defending a dimension isn't easy. We've discussed a little earlier and are willing to help you temporarily to defend this dimension. Seizing the two other dimensions wouldn't go as smoothly but we're willing to help you. However, I hope that Wizard Merlin would give us a dimension when it's convenient to make it our base in the boundless territory. We're not asking for much, just one. What do you think?"
The one who spoke was Ducas. Although he was a Great Legend with two Maxims, and had already fought for a dimension once, in the end, he failed to withstand the attacks of foreign tribes and ultimately lost the dimension.
Therefore, Ducas, Ford, and Ansya were all eager to obtain a dimension. However, with their strength, it was impossible to seize a dimension, and the hope of fighting over a masterless dimension was just too dim.
This time, Franz was considered very lucky to be able to fight for a dimension. The master of the dimension he found had just recently died, plus it was very close to the Gerva Dimension.
This sort of thing could only be encountered and never be sought. Franz was extremely lucky to have come across it. It was impossible for it to happen again.
Previously, they wanted to team up with Merlin but after witnessing Merlin's strength, they no longer had that thought. Therefore, they proposed to help Merlin seize several dimensions in exchange for one dimension each from Merlin.
Hence, Merlin only needed to "pay" them three dimensions in total.
Merlin thought about it carefully while Ducas and the others looked at Merlin expectantly. They knew that this was an opportunity. If Merlin agreed, then it might be possible.
Merlin also thought realistically. He had to establish a huge force that was very likely to include more than ten dimensions. However, in the boundless dimension, even if they were all connected, they were still likely to be some disturbances.
At that time, it was possible to separate some dimensions located at the boundary for these three Wizards. If anything happened in Merlin's absence, these three could still ensure the safety of the dimensions!

However, an alliance had to be formed.
Thinking about this, an idea gradually took shape in Merlin's mind. He asked Franz, "Wizard Franz, what about you? You already have the Franz Dimension. Will you join us?"
"Of course! Without you seizing these three dimensions, it would be impossible to connect to the Gerva Dimension. Even my dimension would be in danger."
Franz was very straightforward.
"Haha, that's right. Then, we can form an alliance to help each other attack and defend. How about that?"
This was Merlin's idea. A small alliance to attack and defend could be formed to ensure that there was a force in the boundless territory. In fact, Merlin had more ideas in his heart. This alliance would be the foundation of this force in the future.
Franz and the others might eventually become Merlin's subordinates. Many Honored Legends or other powerful Wizards all had their own large forces. The core of those forces was the strongest Legends or Honored Legends.
That was what Merlin was thinking.
"An alliance?"
Franz's eyes brightened and he considered further. With this alliance, if anything happened in the future, Merlin would not be able to stand idly by and simply watch. This was equivalent to pulling an existence second only to Honored Legends to his side. How would Franz disagree?"
"I also have the same intention to form an alliance!"
Like that, an alliance with common interest was born in the boundless territory. Although including Wizard Franz's dimension, there were only a total of two dimensions.
However, this was only the beginning!
Merlin was not in a hurry to seize the remaining two dimensions. He had just occupied one dimension, and he still needed to fully explore its potential.
After arranging Ducas and the other Legendary Wizards, Merlin summoned the Atlan civilization empire-level warship from his Spatial Ring.
"Matrix, send some mining robots to explore ores that can be used for the warship's energy source."
Merlin knew that the warship's energy could be derived from means other than elemental crystal stones. Therefore, now that he had a dimension, it was only natural that he explored properly.
Ten days passed quickly, and the Matrix drew out an ore distribution map of the entire dimension.
"Beep, the exploration is completed. This is a barren dimension. There are only thirteen ores that can be used as energy for the warship. It'll take at least one year for the current mining robots to mine everything."
The Matrix's answer made Merlin ponder but he continued to ask, "How much energy can those ores be converted for the warship?"
This was what Merlin was most concerned about.
"It's estimated that after all the ores are mined, it can convert approximately three hundred and sixty percent of the warship's energy."
"Three hundred and sixty percent? It's possible to manufacture three martial arts robots!"
Merlin was shocked by the number.
Even if it was judged to be an infertile dimension, it could support the manufacturing of three martial arts robots. One martial arts robot was comparable to a Great Legend with one Maxim.
Many foreign tribes were unable to produce Great Legends in years, and unable to leave their dimensions to step into the Void Zone. However, just one of this empire-level warship could manufacture three martial arts robots comparable to Legends at once.
This was incredibly amazing. Even the Spell Caster civilization which had rapidly progressed would find it inconceivable that every dimension could produce a Great Legend.
However, the Atlan civilization could do it. It was far beyond their imagination.
Merlin's gaze what somewhat complicated as he looked at the empire-level warship. Besides the Spell Caster civilization, very few foreign civilizations knew about the special Atlan civilization.
This civilization's dimension barrier was broken by the three Ultimate Arcane Wizards but it was like releasing a demon. The Atlan civilization was so powerful that for the first time, the Spell Caster civilization had suffered a heavy blow.
Finally, the Atlan civilization was suppressed by the Three Great Arcane Wizards. Rumor had it that the Atlan civilization did not produce any ultimate existences. Otherwise, Merlin would have found it even more unbelievable.
Under the leadership of ultimate existences, how terrifying would the Atlan civilization be? This was just an empire-level warship. There were still dimension-level warships and even the rumored void-level warships.
What terrifying robots could those warships manufacture?
If there was an empire-level warship full of Atlans, then they only needed one dimension for the power of the Atlan civilization to soar. One warship could carry the knowledge of at Atlans.
Occupying a dimension would allow their strength to skyrocket. If the Atlan civilization developed without being restrained, they would become a dimension more frightening than the insect tribes.
Merlin now understood the terror of the Atlan civilization!

The Adventures Of Heegan, Bleegan, Hoogan, and Bloogan: The Search For The Enchanted Toad Of Delarmir
This is a tale of four young goblin brothers, whose adventures and calamities are told as legends and jokes throughout the land. But they were first inspired by legends they heard, before ascending into one themselves; a reminder that simple beginnings can be the start of something great. Written for my D&D 5e party after they demanded I write an actual story about a children's book they found in one of our sessions, so I wrote it as it would appear in game as a childrens story. I took a very different approach on writing it, so do not be too disappointed when you find out it's not written at first grade reading level. Feedback is much appreciated, as I have never produced anything like this and I do hope I manage to entertain at least a few of you. New chapter releases to be within 3-5 days of one another (Work is now complete, do not expect new chapters).
