32Prologue:
Ugo's Impression of the New World
Uratlugo Noi Nueph, the Guardian of the Sacred Palace was currently observing the world– "Solomon's World" as he had done over the years since Alma Torran's destruction.
Ugo, as his friends affectionately called him in the past, was currently concerned, but not entirely displeased either about the state of the new world. It had developed far from the genius Djinn imagined or even theorized in his entire life, but it doesn't mean he disagreed with the ways of people inhabiting the planet filled with Solomon's Will.
There were changes and differences from this world and the human's previous one, as expected.
Like humans, who could not perform Magic nor could use it (everyone wasn't born a Magician) invented useful tools (technology it was called) that they could use in their lives, continuously striving to improve it, until it began to rival its usefulness and convenience against Magic, an important factor which previously controlled the world known as Alma Torran. Ugo, as a man of intellect (yes, he was one before he became a Djinn) marveled at those accomplishments. The principles behind those technologies and those of magic are technically the same, but there are still differences that he understand and failed to at the same time.
There were also little left of Alma Torran's history, as people gradually lose their memories about it under the influence of Solomon's Will.
Only the Dark Continent, which was veiled with powerful Magic that have some certain species (unfortunately those races are too powerful to be influenced by his Magic Theory and Solomon's Will) that survived, have memories about such a world. Magic had also gradually weakened as the years go by, until most Magicians living in secrecy right now cannot even see or manipulate the Rukh anymore. They also now have a need of a conduit called wands to cast their respective sorcery. They were now called Wizards and Witches.
There are still the Magicians of Magnostadt, who retained the use of Magic governing the Rukh, but they apparently decided to isolate themselves from the rest of the world– even from other magical societies. From what Uratlugo could see though, that would change, for the better or worse, the Djinn does not know.
Yes, the world really developed far from the Djinn dreamed of and he was not completely displeased.
If the new world will not end like Alma Torran, Ugo doesn't mind. If people can live and move on towards life, Ugo is contented. It was a thought that the Djinn continued to remind himself, that things are going just fine. It was not like Ugo can interfere with the affairs of the New World; he doesn't have that power anymore.
Uratlugo eventually realized though that everything doesn't always go as he hoped or wanted to be.
As abnormalities began to appear in the world created by Solomon and the one who is causing it is– not its inhabitants but Al-Thamen.
