I am a pill container in the mage world

Emma was happy and content like all other 'mortals' living in heaven. It might be hard to understand the effects of light elements for someone who has never experienced it.

Light elements wipe out all negative emotions entirely. One can only experience happiness, joy, love, etc.; emotions like boredom are nonexistent.

Some emotions, like anger, can briefly break through the suppression, but only temporarily. One can resist the light elements briefly, but only the 'divine species' can resist it entirely.

Humans and elves, beast people, etc, can never truly adapt to light elements like the divine species.

High-level mages can resist it, but they must always be careful. If they are inadvertently affected, they might start to like it and no longer resist it.

Light elements are an extremely pleasant and addicting drug that is good for health.

One can sit somewhere and stare at a wall for centuries and never feel any hunger, tiredness, or boredom at all; all they feel is joy and happiness from sitting and staring at the wall. The light element heals any injury, feeds the body, keeps one healthy, and is excellent for physical health.

Emma, born in heaven, has never experienced what 'boring' is. She was 'immortal' from birth, so she never thought about what 'time' is, what 'death' is, or what 'sadness' is. She is the purest possible.

Today, she cannot tolerate an ordinary mortal world. If she were to experience all those negative emotions, she would likely die of sadness.

Just like an addict who loses her drug dies of withdrawals.

Still, Emma was not sitting somewhere staring at the wall. Every once in a while, she had parties with friends, maybe walking in nature, trying different foods, and enjoying other entertainments. Her mother also came to the parties.

However, even to this day, her mother never ate anything non-plant-based. She is just too committed to wood elves' traditions.

Tonight, her mother also came to the party and didn't eat anything as usual.

Parties are not really exciting in heaven. In contrast with most mortals in normal worlds, people here don't need any wine, beer, etc., to 'feel' the party. They occasionally take some shots, but only one small cup or two.

They care about the taste, not about being drunk. Sometimes, they may also dance, but those dances are very calm, not what one might expect from a typical party.

Of course, it might not be all because of light energy; another factor might be that everyone is very old. They look young, but they are actually all fossils.

...

Bertha returned home from the party and went to bed.

She didn't feel any sense of aimlessness, tiredness, or any negative feelings. Her love for Millan is as powerful as ever.

In bed, Millan hugged Bertha, and the two slept quietly.

...

Otis Rivera was a man with a captivating presence. Someone can't see him and not stare at him.

He was 1.77 meters tall, with a big mustache and short hair. His clothes were like a medieval warrior's, with luxurious armor and a sword at his side.

His eyes were gray, like an eagle's—deep and captivating. His skin was white but not pale. His appearance could be considered that of a mass killer or military leader, depending on his clothing. However, he was neither. He was a king—the king of River Country. He had created River Country and become its king.

He observed and thought solemnly.

The country of White Castle is the neighboring country that attacked one of the River country's cities two months ago.

As a prideful, mighty king, Otis, of course, cannot tolerate it. So he gathered an army and attacked.

He was a warrior, so he came to command the battle personally.

Otis personally leading the battle boosted his troop's morale immensely. He usually hangs out with his soldiers, ensuring everyone sees him fighting alongside them.

In battles, his troops never run or hide; they fight to the last breath. All are incredibly loyal to Otis, ready to die for him.

He looked at the lines of troops standing there, thinking of strategy for the upcoming battle.

Suddenly, a bright orange light came from the sky.

He looked up.

Before he can see anything ...

He turned into ashes!

...

Red laughed! He had just crisped a big army.

"Hey, don't do this stuff!" said Rachel.

"But I love it!" Red laughed evilly.

Rachel sighed.

Red wasn't originally evil, but events in the past had turned him this way.

To begin with, he never had any feelings toward humans; he always considered them no different from food or insects. Sure, one doesn't even treat insects like this, killing them for fun;

Red wouldn't have done this in the past. But, he would now.

Red was afraid of heights, which was a source of shame for him. To find a solution, his mother brought a treasure. The treasure was said to be from the Demon King of Wisdom. It used to be in heaven but was stolen by him when he defected to hell.

After the Demon King of Wisdom was mysteriously killed, this treasure was found by dragons, and his mother managed to borrow it.

Rachel advised him not to use it, but Red was too desperate. His unusual fear of heights made him feel useless, not deserving to live. One shouldn't underestimate dragons' culture and the importance of flying.

So, he used it.

The rest goes without saying.

He found truth in torching everyone, and since then, he began burning everything he thinks is beautiful.

His fear of heights completely disappeared, though.

He lived with his mother for a while longer until he melted all of her treasure. Then, her mother threw him out.

Red was actually stronger than his mother, but he still wasn't willing to torch his mother. It might be because he retained a part of his 'Dragon-ity,' or maybe he wants to keep the best for last.

Red became homeless but didn't stop torching. He torched hell until the hell's boundary wall disappeared a while ago.

Since then, Red came out and started torching human cities. No matter how much Rachel tried to dissuade him, he didn't listen.

Red is powerful, being a rank 8 red dragon. It's easy for him to torch entire countries.

However, he likes to do it slowly and observe everyone he torches. He is already famous among mages, but nobody came out to stop him. To begin with, this is a weak continent, with only a few rank 8 mages.

Those rank 8 mages were well connected; they knew Red was one of Rachel's hosts, so they didn't dare show themselves and just abandoned everything and ran to another continent.

It left only mortals and some lon mages waiting to be crisped.

"Look, another city!" He was excited when he saw it.

Rachel was used to him being like this, but still, she wanted to avoid casualties.

"Red, I am going to fix you!" She wanted to request Rachel #1 to check his codes.

As a rank 8 Rachel, she herself can also do it, but she doesn't have a lot of energy. Rachel #1 has nearly all of the energy.

Red was like this for years, but she didn't care much.

Because there were many other evil demons in hell, Red wasn't a problem.

But now, the evil demons are eliminated, and hell's boundary opened. Now, Red is the only one running wild and destroying everything.

Rachel doesn't care much about mortals, but she still hates killing for no reason.

But before she can ask Rachel #1, something happened.

"Hey, look, I feel a lot of energy from that city," Red said.

Rachel looked, and her expression changed.

"What? What is this?" She was astonished.

...

The city of Byron was huge. It had two million residents and a thriving market.

Recently, a coffin was found in ruins. They tried to open it but failed. Ultimately, it was put up for auction and bought by Count Byron, the noble responsible for the city.

He brought a mage to try to open it. The mage also failed.

So, they just put it in the museum to remain. It was supposed to be a mystery for future generations.

Who knew the entire city and the museum would be gone a few days later?

...

Red blew, and fire almost instantly killed everyone in the city. The temperature and intensity were so high that nobody had a chance to run or scream. The whole area was reduced to ashes except for one dark red coffin.

"The energy is from that thing!" said Red.

He blew with all of his strength. The ground first melted, then evaporated.

He continued blowing, and more and more of the soil evaporated. As it went on, the ground no longer melted but directly evaporated.

After a few hours, a deep hole was created.

Red sat at the bottom of it. There was still a long way until the bottom, but Red stopped.

The door of the coffin opened.

A man with black hair was sleeping in it.

"Who is it?" asked Red.

"Let me think! Hmm. I don't know! Let's just check the code!" she chose the easiest way.

The coffin obstructed her view of the code, so she didn't know what was in it before.

"I can't see the code! How is it possible?" she felt unbelievable.

She always could see all codes, so not seeing it was unthinkable.

Technically, a living being doesn't have a code, but she can gather lots of information by looking at the 'codes' of their energy, rank, spells, etc. Ranks and spells, etc, are not codes, but Rachel can transform them into codes to observe them.

This ability is very high level, with only a few having it.

She searched in the database. To her surprise, a lot of information came up!

"Demon king of sloth? Rank 13? Wait, is it one of my hosts?" she felt increasingly astonished.

Demon king of sloth was the owner of tokens to a few universal laws: the Universal Law of Sloth, laziness, energy conservation, eternal motionlessness, etc.

For someone who always sleeps, obtaining all of this is unthinkable. But, one should not underestimate the Demon King of Sloth.

Sleeping is not for tiredness for him. When he is sleeping, he is strengthening his understanding of universal laws. Although Rachel believes that he also likes sleeping, she also thinks the real reason must be because of researching universal laws.

As a result, the Demon King, named Lazy George, has an exceptionally terrifyingly high mastery of the concept of laziness.

The database says that he had Supreme Grandmaster mastery countless years ago. Now, it should be much higher.

There is one higher rank than the supreme grandmaster.

However, Rachel doesn't have that mastery of any concepts. She also doubts that Lazy George has it.

Lazy George also has another distinction. He is one of the very few high-level hosts who killed their Rachel.

Rachel can die, too. As long as the pill container gets destroyed, Rachel dies.

Lazy George killed his Rachel long ago and fled. There was no trace of him since then.

"To think he was here all along!" she was astonished.

She observed the codes of the world around him and noticed they were being bent and affected by Lazy George's subconscious.

"so, that's why this world recognizes him as the legitimate demon king of this world." she thought.

Also, Rachel wondered about the coffin.

It can isolate inside from outside. He couldn't have affected the world's code if the coffin's door was always closed. It shows that the coffin was open most of the time.

"Why did he close it, and why did it open it now? Did it open intentionally?" she thought.

The situation is very dangerous. If he wakes up now, she cannot run at all.

However, she doesn't care. A rank 8 Rachel being captured is not a serious problem. It's instead better to remain and collect as much info as possible.

The database says Lazy George never wakes up for anything, so the possibility of him waking up now is minimal.

Rachel thought and sighed.

"Let's bury it!" she thought.

Today, the main body wants no trouble.

It would be good to take revenge, but if it brings trouble, it's not worth it.

Lazy George is powerful.

He is asleep now, but if his life is in danger, he can get pretty aggressive.

The main body gains absolutely nothing if she kills Lazy George. She cannot gain any universal laws because when the true owners die, 'the Office' gains the sole right to universal laws. Lazy George's memory is useless, and his mastery is not what she wants now.

What she wants is stability and no uncertainty.

George has some very specific universal laws.

For Main Body Rachel, Lazy George is nothing, but he most likely can escape with his life using one particular universal law she knows he has.

There is a risk of him running, with a remote possibility that he might cause trouble.

As a result, Rachel wants to keep things calm and wait for the main body to decide.

After all, now, she knows where he is.

The situation was an emergency, so Rachel didn't bother arguing with Red.

She just modified the code and directly took control of Red. This way of doing it is very expensive, but Rachel doesn't want to give any task to the current Red.

After a while, the hole was filled using the surrounding soil.

She left enough space and didn't directly dump all the soil on Lazy George's face.

After ensuring the location was well hidden, she controlled Red and burned the rest of the continent as well.

It's suspicious if only this one location is crisped, but it won't stand out if the whole continent is crisped.

She hates pointless slaughter, but when there is a reason, she doesn't care about innocent life.

She directed Red to Lee continent and started communicating with Rachel #1.

As for what Rachel #1 does, it has nothing to do with her.

All that was left behind was a burnt continent in ashes.

An unimaginable number of people died. But they were weak. So, nobody cared.

After a few thousand years, the ground and earth were recovered, with trees growing back.

Some mortals migrated again.

A few thousand years after that, civilizations spread.

Kingdoms and nobles popped out again, and mages returned.

Nobody remembered people who lived here before.

Everything continued Like nothing had happened.
