Chapter 100: CH-100 What Lies At The Peak

    The pinnacle of everything that can be achieved in the world.


    The peak, as many would call it.


    A ce that is deemed to be at the very top of the world itself is achieved when you have achieved everything there is to achieve and bested every singlepetition possible.


    Just what kind of emotion will someone who has achieved something like this and bested everyone else feel?


    Will it be pride? Happiness? Satisfaction? Perhaps greed to achieve even more?


    No, the only emotion someone who has nothing left to do anymore will feel is boredom.


    **


    ''Man, this is boring,'' Zephyr thought as he stood on his grandiose throne.


    It had now been 70 years since he had killed the demon king and sealed all the demons inside a single dimension, never to see the light of day ever again.


    Normally, someone, after saving the entire world, would want to just rest and take it easy for the remainder of their finite mortal life.


    But not Zephyr; it was never just his goal to save the world; he always wanted to change the very world he lived in.


    The very first thing he did after winning the war was unite all the humans under a single banner and allow them to live together on the human continent, which he ruled.


    After that, he purified thend that was ruled and conquered by demons and divided it amongst the other races while ensuring that no race was left unsatisfied or would have a resource shortage in the future.


    And dealt with a couple other things that might lead to a war or conflict in the future before making everyone sign a peace treaty to avoid any war in the future.


    Sure, he couldn''tpletely eliminate things like war, conflicts, and inner fighting.


    But he didn''t need to; what he did ensured that there wouldn''t ever be another race foolish enough to try and conquer the whole world or dere war on another race.


    Because if they did, they''d have to bear the full brunt of not just one or two but every single other race against them.


    What he had basically done was achieve world peace, a feat previously thought impossible.


    Once that was already done, the next thing on his agenda was making sure that things like poverty and unemployment didn''t gue the beautiful nation he was trying to build.


    So by using all the riches and spoils of war he had gained after defeating the demons, he built houses for everyone in his nation as well as made basic amenities like education and healthcare free for those below the poverty line.


    But even with their basic needs taken care of, a person still needs money to put food on the table, and even Zephyr couldn''t make such a thing free for millions of people their whole life just because he felt bad for them.


    So instead, he created job opportunities, especially in areas like helping rebuild thend that was destroyed in the war and many other fields that didn''t exist before.


    And after many years, he had finally fixed the problem of poverty and unemployment, at least in his own nation.


    He offered his help to other nations, but they refused it as they felt he was sticking his nose where it didn''t belong, so he stopped trying and instead just decided to stay content with his own nation.


    Magic was previously something that only the rich and those born with extreme talent could learn, but he made it so that anyone, regardless of their ss and talent, could gain ess to the wonderful art of magic and be taught at least a few self-defence spells, even if they didn''t have much talent.


    If amoner had enough talent, they''d be sponsored by the royal family itself, which served as good motivation to push everyone to try their best to prove themselves.


    Zephyr never had any talent in martial arts, so he couldn''t ever understand the charm.


    But what hecked in martial arts, he more than made up in magic.


    Thanks to his [Child of Mana] skill and many other different skills, his talent in magic was unparalleled by even dragons, the race blessed by mana itself.


    However, the problem was that humans didn''t have much affinity for magic and needed to cast super-long chants and do long and tedious calctions just to cast a single spell.


    Both of which were extremely impractical to do midbat, which caused magic to be looked down upon by many who chose to believe martial arts to be superior to magic.


    But Zephyrpletely flipped this belief on its head, earning the acknowledgement of many in the process. But still, he was only one person, and there''s only so much a single person can do and achieve.


    Even with all his feats, magic was still considered impractical by many due to not everyone possessing his talent.


    But after more than a decade of research, he had finally developed a method of magic that was objectively better than the previous chanting method and arguably made magic even better than martial arts.


    He called it the ''chantless method'' due to it not requiring a super long chant and instead recing it with a single word.


    And even the super long calctions were reced with a super easy-to-follow, 3-step process.


    But aside from the ease of the method, the more important thing was the speed with which it allowed someone to cast spells, assuming they had the mana.


    And the best part was that it removed the talent barrier in magic. Sure, having more talent will obviously help you, but unlike before,mon folk could now at least cast spells and experience the wonders of magic and everything it had to offer.


    And before long, even die-hard martial arts fans were forced to ept it as equal to their art, even though manymon folk considered this new form of magic to be better than martial arts due to it not requiring years of practice and hard work just to produce something half decent.


    Magic was the thing Zephyr had loved the most his whole life, and being able to see other people share the same love and passion for the art made him really happy.


    There were also a few other things he had done throughout his life, but they weren''t as influential as the aforementioned feats.


    Somewhere down the line, people started calling him the ''Boy who changed the world''.


    He was extremely humbled by this, considering this was his dream, but he still wasn''t satisfied; he wanted to achieve and improve the world even more before his eventual ascension.


    But the only problem now was: what more could he even improve?
