According to these scrolls, something big happened, an event that was called: The Fall.
He didn't find any reference for this world's name, so he decided to call it The Origin. As for what exactly happened back then, the scrolls didn't give any useful intel.
Yet he was surprised to learn that the Mystic Arts original world, the one he called before The God Realm, was connected to the Origin world alongside the Spirit world as well.
According to these scrolls, there was a fixed and known path for contacting and getting in touch with these two worlds, not to mention a well-known method to rise up and ascend to higher realms. Yet all this seemed to get lost when the Origin world got damaged, broken into such a messy collection of tiny and outer worlds.
That wasn't all. William knew the right way to go up from one tiny world to the outer world was already missed and lost for those living in these worlds.
If not for him coming from the future, knowing that the trick was in training in the rightful techniques. And yet he also knew that such techniques were all missing in the tiny worlds.
"Something is wrong… Why do I smell something like a grand scheme here?" He stood in his room, looking at the scrolls he gathered at the ground, the ones speaking about the Origin world.
They weren't that much to begin with, just few tens of them out of the hundreds of thousands of scrolls he read and copied during the past six months. "I need to collect more…" he muttered to himself, but there were no more city owners coming to accept his offer, giving him the scrolls he needed.
At the same time, he knew he wasted lots of time here. His main goal was to find a way out of this world, take his people out. As for this world, he'd come back later on, and then he'd spend more time exploring more cities and visiting other places.
Aside from the scrolls speaking about the Origin world, there were too many speaking about the Mystic Arts and the Spirit world. He learnt tons of stuff about these two worlds and became more experienced about them.
The ways to use Mystic Arts for someone like him, someone without affinity, were already completed after going through all these scrolls. He knew the right way to do it, and it was all centred around taking the help from monsters with the right affinity.
Killing monsters and keeping their organs inside storage items that could save any living thing inside without rotting was something essential. Then he had to scatter these organs in a fixed pattern, something like establishing an array but without ores and materials, but with monster organs.
Learning this method made him able to start training and using the Mystic Arts different techniques anytime he wanted. He just needed to look for monsters with the right affinity with fate and destiny, and then problems would be solved.
As for techniques, he learnt tons of them already from the scrolls. There were crazy arts that could change the fate and destiny of people, monsters, and even places in the ground.
He knew by following such a route, there must be a scary art to change and manipulate the fate and destiny of an entire world even. Yet the scrolls lacked any reference about such a thing.
The scrolls came from two different factions using Mystic Arts, one who were acting like the villains, and the other who were like guardians.
William didn't care about the ongoing fierce clash between the two sides. He knew he wouldn't use the methods he learnt to change the fate and destiny of anyone for bad or evil doings. But if he got the chance and ability to change the fate and destiny of his evil enemies, he'd not hesitate to do it.
Aside from this, he learnt lots of ways to preserve and even repair any damage done to the fate and destiny world. William felt that the Cult he recently joined was just aware of ways to preserve and protect the fate and destiny world, not how to repair it.
"It's a complicated process to repair any damage up there, but I got lots of useful arts to spy on anyone's fate and destiny…"
This was one of the most valuable things he gained from reading through all these scrolls. Having the power to spy on anyone's fate and destiny, learning about their past, present, and even the future, was a god ability.
William wanted to know what his archenemy was doing, what it planned to do. He wanted to know tons of stuff about the Nightmare monster and other enemies he had like the Transformers and the Mutants.
He got ways to not just randomly try out and see what his luck would be, but there were arts specialised in seeing through one's past, present, or future. As for any backlash like what happened to anyone who tried to spy on his fate and destiny, there were arts that would protect him from that to such an extent.
As for the Spirit world, there was where his biggest gains were.
William knew nothing before about such a mysterious world or beings, literally nothing. But when he started reading scrolls, he learnt more about them, enough to make him grasp a general view about such a world.
First of all, he was shocked to realise that spirits were beings who came from a higher realm, got some sort of a sentence and got demoted to this realm.
He read this in just one scroll, but he didn't question it. The scroll spoke in great detail about the life story of one of the spirits, speaking about how it was once a mighty master in a higher realm, committed a grave sin against heavens, and ended up descending to this lower realm.
This mighty master changed his form and became a spirit, one that could lend his power to others, but not use it to rise up again to the higher realm.
