Loser's redo: Transmigration in a novel

Many thick clouds of mana particles floated around the main node silently. They were so densely packed that it was even visible to the naked eye of a normal human being.

A pool of snow essence was in the corner of the gigantic room, with a few snow essence crystals here and there.

'Oh, There was no snow essence crystal in the other nodes, but there is some here.' Zick looked around after sending away the Minotaur to the secret lab.

Walking to the middle of the main node, A small pillar entered Zick's sight. It looked very mysterious, shining in a fluctuating aurora color.

Levienel's blank expression had a mild change: 'This is a summit-grade mana crystal.'

Zick stared with interest upon hearing this.

'So there is a grade above Apex grade in mana crystal. Now that I think of it, Aeiron was quite lucky that he didn't explore deeply at that time.'

Zick extended his free hand: 'It will come in use I guess.'

The summit-grade mana crystal entered Zick's space ring. Next, he started looting the whole place as usual.

The main node chamber looked beutiful with all the mana crystal shining everywhere, but it turned desolate the very next moment. A gloomy atmosphere took place there.

Taking out around 50 to 60 golems of which some even had master ranks strength, Zick sent them off to collect mana crystals in groups.

There might be multiple master-grade monsters so Zick came prepared.

Zick's eye turned to Levienel: 'Subordinates are supposed to be used anyway.'

Zick spoke with no hesitation: 'Miss Levienel, please create a teleportation circle here and connect it to the Secret lab. And please destroy the one you made prior too.'

After Levienel made the teleportation circle, Zick ordered her to collect all the mana crystals and head back to the secret lab; he felt there was no need to do it himself.

.....

After a while.

In the control center, with Arianell in his lap, Zick looked at the result of the thing he asked Yuriel a week back.

'So, It's possible to create a golem with intelligence and they would be loyal to me too. Along with that, they would have the capacity to create more golems by themselves.' Zick said with a slight smile on his face.

'Yes, their battle capacity is around peak rank, but they can create master-grade golems by themselves. This new golem would be loyal to you too.' Yuriel knew Zick's personality by now.

He was a cautionist to the extreme, if there was even a chance of this plan harming him, he would discard it immediately. Zick wouldn't take risks when unnecessary.

'That's good, manufacture around 10,000 of them and keep them ready. How many master-grade golems have been created thus far?' Zick turned his head to the screen before him.

'42 have been created and another 305 are in process of being created,' Yuriel reported within a second.

Hearing the number, Zick was satisfied for now: 'With the ones I got from the Jhesker alchemy tower, there must be more than 55 master-grade golems.'

Zick looked at the screen at his left: 'Around a million golems have already been created and even more are being made as we speak. What is the estimated time for all the important projects to finish?'

The golem cores that Zick got from the Jhesker alchemy tower came to good use here. Magical device cores were also put to good use.

'In a month and a half,' Yuriel answered Zick's question.

Zick held his chin in contempt: 'Send in peak master-grade golems to loot the water crystal mine in Restuckin and fire crystal mine in the Uethec, the volcanic region. Levienel has already gone to the Eirevelt to loot the earth crystal mine.'

'Once this is over, start the construction of other master grade and higher grade golems. And use the low-grade material and crystals to make the mob golems.' Zick threw out tasks like a machine.

Becoming a peak-rank mage gave him an immense boost in his mental abilities.

'Alright and the biological golem V-2 is 30℅ completed by the humans we sacrificed.'

'Ohh, 30% already? That's good, you modified it to have no conscience like I instructed right?' Zick rubbed the head of Arianell who was reading the book as per his instruction.

'Yes, That might also be the reason the required amount of body fell.'

Zick needed puppets that he could control with no hesitation, so he was sure to alter the biological golem to have intelligence but no free will or emotions.

The biological golem would follow his order like a robot now.

'So another two months and I will begin my plan.' Zick did not feel that sorry anymore, he felt like doing this was a normal thing.

'Oh, are the emotions adjusting to me at last hmm? Well, that's for the best.' Zick's attention shifted to another matter.

It was about how to use the next two months to the fullest. Truthfully, Zick felt there to be no need for him to personally step up and act as a villain.

But a certain feeling told him to do it: 'I just can't help but feel excited thinking about what kind of expression those guys would have after finding out that I am the one who caused all the disasters.'

Zick turned out to be a sadist in the end. Becoming a villain would truthfully gave him a sense of freedom, he could do whatever he wanted, destroy, kill, or any other crime.

which was also a reason he wanted to do it.

Zick sent his consciousness to the space ring. There were seven elixir-grade potions within it that could be used to strengthen the body.

But even with these potions, Zick was not sure if he could reach even the upper stage of the master rank, peak master rank was even faraway.

Slowly the elixir was losing effect on his body.

Zick was not willing to take the snow essence too as per Yuriel's words, having two elements or more in a body might lead to his foundation in the future being damaged.

'Dragons...Dragon is the only thing that can boost my strength by leap and bound right now.'

'But it is still not the appropriate time, I can move once the demonic race attacks for real.' A sharp light passed by Zick's eye.

The minotaur he captured was put to sleep through the regretful necklace too, Yuriel was currently reducing a way to turn it into a golem for Zick.

After Arianell fell asleep after a few hours, Zick used the elixir-grade potions with no hesitation, taking him to the upper stage of master rank. Which was just a stage below peak master rank.

Next, Zick moved to Darton's palace.

...

Listening about Zick's arrival from the cat, Varine moved towards him immediately. Her steps were nimble and silent, matching that of an assassin.

Varine's talent was fully displayed; she was able to become a low-rank assassin in a week from the lowest rank.

Seveleen was going to become a peak-rank mage in a few months too. The higher the rank, the more time is required to breakthrough. That was common sense throughout this world.

Zick always broke it using unconventional means, not everyone can do such a thing.

Zick sat on the fountain while chatting with Seveleen.

'I feel that something big is going to happen soon,' Zick spoke with solemness as if he was looking at a big scheme.

'Something big?' Seveleen asked, a little confused.

'Yes, the way the main ruling forces are moving and the appearance of a mysterious force....it really is giving me a bad feeling.'

Zick had already spoken about the destruction of the Jhesker alchemy tower.

Zick continued: 'Luckily your sister was not in that alchemy tower.'

A while ago, Zick had given the list of slaves in the Jhesker alchemy tower to Seveleen. She didn't ask how he got his hand on it as she already connected the dots and reached a conclusion.

It was most likely the nonexistent Everlor organization.

Seveleen smiled hearing Zick: 'Thank you, mister Zick.'

She didn't know how hard it was for Zick to get his hand on the list, but she knew that it wasn't something that could be acquired for free.

'It's not a big deal, I already said that I will help you find your sister, I am just keeping my word.' Zick turned his head to the right, feeling Varine to be arriving.

'Good evening, sir Zick.' Varine greeted Zick with the cat on her shoulder.

'Human....' The cat jumped onto Zick's lap. The cat was shocked looking at Zick's growth once again. It was not aware of his action so it was confused in many ways.

Zick took out a bottle of premium wine with a blank look.

The cat held the bottle instantly. There was no need for any conversation between them to understand each other.

Zick wanted the cat to continue doing what it was doing till now and the cat accepted.

Zick turned to Varine with an expressionless face: 'How is the training coming along?'

'It's going well, I will breakthrough to middle rank in a month,' Varine answered blankly too.

Seveleen looked at this strange duo, where both of them had blank looks. But there was a sense of harmonization between them.

Zick didn't change his behavior much from the past. Neither did he feel the need to change it.

'These people are going to go through a lot in a while. All I need to do is to make them grow at a rapid rate with all the hardship.'

Zick and the other three continued chatting away for a while.
