Just having access to all dungeon shops in the world seemed impressive, considering that he wasn't even there. Still, Leon couldn't believe that was the only thing that made Ilyana become stupidly powerful like that. In any case, as long as he has enough, Leon would be able to buy all kinds of tomes that would grant him basically an endless amount of skills, not only the magical and might ones that can found in Ilyana's vault.
"This is pretty impressive," Leon rubbed his chin. "But I was waiting for something more incredible."
"How about using the coins to create something that doesn't even exist?" Ilyana asked. "That should suffice, right?"
"Can you do that?" Leon frowned.
"No… but I imagine coins do things like that," Ilyana shrugged. "It doesn't make sense that tomes just suddenly appear and disappear according to the number of monsters that are being slain in that world."
"Well,… you are right," Leon nodded.
"I think that while a part of the mana when a monster is killed goes to the planet, while other part goes to the person who killed it," Ilyana added. "But I also think that another part of the mana is used to create the things one can buy in the dungeon shops. At this point in time, it is obvious that someone created the assimilation system. That someone has a stupid amount of mana, but I don't think even someone who created something like this could create a system that could create magic artifacts without the need of mana."
"… That is interesting and all, but what is your point?" Leon asked.
"My point is: everyone will be able to buy whatever they want… once they reach the seventh stage of the assimilation," Ilyana replied. "I'm trying to do that before that happens since I don't know what will happen to me once I reach that stage, and I think you should do the same."
That was easier said than done, but it wasn't like Leon could just suddenly learn things like that. He didn't have time to think of such things when assholes were targeting earth.

"Oh, well…" Leon sighed. "At least thinking about that kind of thing will keep my mind occupied while I read all these notifications."
Although Leon had some coins to spend, he didn't feel like learning anything new at that moment since training his first spells would be efficient in order to obtain status points. Regardless, while he was reading his notifications, he was thinking about what Ilyana said. Considering that he could use Transmute, it wasn't hard to believe that the system could create almost anything using the fallen monsters' mana. However, what was really bothering Leon was why someone would create such an elaborate and automated system. Putting the efficiency side, since Leon had no idea how mana could multiplicate like that when it was used and divided in so many ways, he wanted to know why someone would create the system.
"Most likely… a conscient lifeform created the system," Leon said. "I don't think a god did it… Considering that that lifeform has a goal and the system they created will make them reach that goal. I don't know why, but it looks like it is convenient for them if people like to grow stronger using mana…"
For some reason, Leon was pretty sure that his suspicions were accurate. He couldn't tell why. Only his instincts were making him feel like that made sense… in the end, Leon knew that one of the goals of the system's creator was to cultivate mana. For what reason? Leon would never discover… unless he finds such a person.
"Well, I don't think I will be able to hold a conversation with someone like that…" Leon shrugged. "Most likely, I will end up punching him, or her, or it… and that will get me killed. At this point in time, I know myself too well to understand that."
In any case, thanks to the fact that Leon was finally thinking seriously about the creator of the system, he had a few new ideas. When he was in Sekundez's dimension, Leon thought of creating a small-scale version of the assimilation system, but he failed because he had no idea where to start. However, thanks to Ilyana, he knew something that he could do… the first one was to transform mana into coins. Coins that were being used and accepted by the system… at that point in time, the power of the mind was absolute, and Leon learned that much faster than he had expected.
Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Mana Transformation.
You obtained 01 status points.
Without even having to actually create the coins, just by concentrating. Leon could transform his mana into coins in the status screen. Although Mana Transformation was leveling up a lot, it wasn't becoming more efficient. To obtain a single coin, Leon had to spend ten points of mana.
"I guess the higher the level of the skill, the more things I will be able to create with it…" Leon nodded to himself.
