At a place far away from the happening of Hamar, faw away from the happenings of Mo Huai, far away from it all...
An elderly figure sits in his throne and stares in boredom towards an orb. He sighed and stood up, as he did his bones creaked. He hobbled over to the orb while using a long wooden stick as an aid. He wore a long flowing white-grey robe.
"Oh ho ho... Shall we see what they are doing?"
The elderly figure stroked his long white beard and touched the bronze orb. As he did, engravings all deepened and the perfectly spherical orb broke apart. It became an armillary sphere in the centre of which laid a deep blue sphere of mana. The man held the sphere floating above his hand and observed something.
"Interesting. Very interesting" he smiled and though for a moment before walking back over to his throne. He sat himself down and crossed his legs, peering into the blue orb at the centre of the sphere.
He let go of the sphere and it floats in front of him, he held his wooden staff with both hands and leaves forward, "It seems those little beings inside have begun to try to escape. And they aren't entirely being useless either..."
The man squinted his eyes and sent a wisp of consciousness into the sphere as he narrated, "To think they trapped by admin body... And they've begun to work with system... And this-"

Within the world, an uncanny yet invisible eyeball began to watch the happenings of the world. It was this old man, who had come to look at his creations.
As he flew around, he found a few things to note, "So this 'Yi Sect' is the ones who have learned how to take control of my system for a time, hmm" The man furrowed his brows before he looked down, "though to me... This is much more important. I can give an update to the system when needed but this... This shouldn't have happened now, should it?"
Below the elderly man's wisp of consciousness, Hamar and William (and Hou within Hamar's body) fight the tribulation. The elderly spectator watched with amusement and tweaked the tribulation to weaken down quickly, "Shall we see what happened here? Aura and magic in this isolated land? Did I forget something?"
Once the tribulation was dealt with, the stream of consciousness shot down and entered into Hamar's defenceless mind. If it were anyone else, they would be noticed at least. But this man had techniques beyond anyone in this world and also waited for the perfect opportunity as Hamar's aura was depleted. His consciousness ensured Hamar's body and began searching for its answer. After a few moments he exited Hamar with no recognition by anyone but himself.
"It seems I did forget. When I let the king peer into my creation, how imprint left a certain tangible connection. It seems I leaked his memories; specifically ones which happened to have techniques of this world."
The man sighed and rubbed his glabella, "Not only that, the memories mixed with my own unseen influences I did not remove...I created a small incomplete version of myself which once those memories were found.... Escaped."
He laughed and the wisp of consciousness retracted from the sphere world, remembering the main body. The man laughed heartedly and a huge wide grin appeared on his face.
"To think I, Archmagus Araxis, would be so ignorant of such an event! Haha!" The elderly figure, Araxis, slapped his knee and leant backwards.
He shouted out, "It seems I have a few quasi-apprentices too! Just a new memory of me... Just a memory and it taught that boy, Hou? Taught that boy to become a full fledged mage!"
Araxis had become highly amused, initially his plan was to fix his mistake in the sovereign world and allow it to continue growing. The sphere world has become it's own miniature world and created it's own laws that Araxis used as a farm. But now... He had decided to keep it, to see where it leads to. He slowly stopped laughing and murmured, "luckily, I created the backup system to keep a log of all past states of the world."
Araxis tightened his grip on his staff and knocked out against the floor. A green light was sent out and from the sky and a shackled figure feel down.
He looked up in abject fear, "A-Arch M-M-M-M Magus!" the figure instant recognised Araxis and banged his head to the floor repeatedly while it bled, "P-please let me go!"
Araxis watched on with no emotions and grasped out his hand, the man screamed until Araxis got bored of him.
"I'm feeling quite generous, you may be kept alive. But I have other uses with you right now, criminal." He pulled his hand course to him and the criminal's body flung itself in the air!
Araxis looked into his consciousness deeply until he smiled, "You'll do quite well, I'll take you!" Then Araxis' consciousness split into a wisp which entered the criminals body. He looked around in his body for a moment until he spat a huge glob of blood and his bones all shattered. Then, like time reversing, the effects all undid themselves and the man stood healthy and firm in front of Araxis.
It bowed gracefully on one knee, "I will be back, Main Body!" With that said, the criminals jumped into the floating sphere beside him. His body shrunk as it got closer, then it fell into the blue energy orb.
On the inside, the criminals appeared high into an invisible barrier above the sky and started to fall. He looked down at his body, "Just a mortal huh."
He shrugged and closed his eyes, the clouds around him all shifted and took the form of a dragon. It nuzzled into the man's cheeks.
"It does not matter, I am the master of this whole world, it's creator, I can just use the system as my power."
