Idle Mage: Humanity's Strongest Backer

Ashton lay on the Slumbering Immortal King\'s Bed, his eyes closed in deep concentration. The bed hummed with faint energy, amplifying the power of his Dream Laws as he searched for nearby points of interest. His consciousness delved deep into the fabric of space and time, his mind searching for any sign of anomalies or disturbances.

It has been a while since used this thing. The bed was comfortable and it has an effect that allows him to fall asleep the moment he lays down on it.

Honestly, Ashton could\'ve just made the trip personally to survey the nearby points of interest but he didn\'t feel like leaving at all. It hasn\'t been long since he returned to this world so he\'s a little hesitant to leave again. Therefore, he uses this instead.

This way, he could stay close to his loved ones while also providing them with his needed support.

Hours passed as he searched, his body motionless on the bed. The only sound in the room was the soft hum of the magical artifact. Finally, his eyes snapped open, his mind returning to the present. He sat up slowly, his thoughts racing.

Ashton had found several points of interest nearby. One was a planet rich in rare minerals, another was a moon with a unique atmosphere that could be used for terraforming, and a third was a nearby asteroid field that could be mined for resources.

As Ashton lay on the Slumbering Immortal King\'s Bed, his mind drifted into the realm of dreams. He concentrated his mind\'s eye on the nearest asteroid, a rocky celestial body that he had named Astero Prime. Through his dream magic, he saw that the asteroid was brimming with precious minerals such as Space Quartz, Iridium, and Super Alloys.

These are rare materials that their planet was lacking, and it would be very helpful if they could gather these for future use.

Ashton observed the asteroid\'s surface, scanning it for potential dangers or obstacles that might impede the Guild\'s future mining operations. He noted that the asteroid was covered in jagged ridges and steep cliffs, which could prove challenging to traverse for miners and excavation teams.

As Ashton\'s dream continues, he surveys the asteroid more closely and discovers several other points of interest that could be useful for their plans.

Geothermal Vents: He notices that there are several geothermal vents on the asteroid, indicating that the asteroid has active volcanic activity. This could be used as a source of geothermal energy, which could be harnessed to power mining operations and other equipment.

Hollow Caverns: Ashton\'s dream also reveals that there are several hollow caverns inside the asteroid. These caverns could be used as storage facilities for resources, equipment, and even living quarters for the colonizers.

Ice Deposits: He also detects the presence of ice deposits on the asteroid\'s surface, which could be used as a source of water and also be broken down into oxygen and hydrogen for life support systems and rocket fuel.

Magnetic Anomalies: Ashton senses the presence of magnetic anomalies on the asteroid, which could be indicative of the presence of rare earth metals such as neodymium and dysprosium. These metals are critical components in the manufacture of electronics, wind turbines, and electric vehicles, and could be highly valuable.

Rare Minerals: Finally, Ashton notices the presence of several rare minerals on the asteroid, including cobalt, nickel, and platinum. These metals are critical components in the manufacture of high-tech equipment and could fetch a high price on the market.

Ashton takes note of all these points of interest and makes a mental map of the asteroid. He knows that if they can successfully colonize the asteroid and extract its resources, they will be in a much better position to defend themselves against their enemies.

Next to his list was the moon he saw...

He\'s not referring to the Moon of the Blue Marble Planet. It\'s a different moon he saw, one that\'s actually close to where their planet was.

The moon is called the Lunar Palace, it was he who gave it that name, and is not a natural satellite, but rather an ancient, mystical structure created by unknown but certainly powerful beings. He had no idea that such a thing existed before and that it was this close to them but now that he had seen it, he might as well see what it could offer.

As Ashton dreams about the Lunar Palace, he can see that it is a massive structure made of shimmering, iridescent crystal. The palace is surrounded by a ring of asteroids that seem to be pulled towards it by some unknown force. On the surface of the Lunar Palace, some various buildings and structures seem to have been built by different civilizations, each with its own architectural style.

Ashton can see that the Lunar Palace is not only rich in mystical energy, but also in rare and precious materials, such as Moonstone, Lunarite, and Star Iron. However, he also senses that the Lunar Palace is guarded by powerful magic and traps, making it nearly impossible to explore without the right knowledge and skills.

Despite the danger, Ashton can\'t help but feel drawn to the Lunar Palace and its treasures. He knows that with the right preparation and strategy, he may be able to uncover its secrets and harness its power for the Mystic Guild\'s cause.

Going here might prove dangerous for the miners and guild members though, since there are certainly some traces of ancient civilization here. However, it would be such a waste to just leave it be so he\'s planning to add some security for the team who\'s going to be assigned here.

As Ashton continued his exploration using the Slumbering Immortal King\'s Bed, he focused his attention on a nearby planet. The planet was a breathtaking sight to behold, with lush green forests and deep blue oceans.

It was teeming with life, with exotic creatures roaming freely across the landscape. The planet\'s atmosphere was breathable, making it an ideal place for humans to colonize.

Ashton delved deeper into the planet\'s surface and discovered rich deposits of Osmium, a rare and valuable metal known for its high density and strength. It was often used in the production of electrical contacts and other high-wear applications. Next, he found deposits of Orichalcum, a legendary metal said to be imbued with magical properties. It was known for its ability to enhance magical power and was often used in the crafting of powerful artifacts.

As Ashton continued his search, he also discovered deposits of Rose Quartz, a beautiful pink crystal that was highly valued for its beauty and healing properties. It was often used in jewelry and other decorative items, as well as in the creation of magical talismans.

The planet itself was named Arathia, and yes it was he who gave this name to it. It was a prime location for colonization. Its abundant resources and hospitable environment made it an ideal place for humans to establish a new home. As Ashton surveyed the planet, he couldn\'t help but feel a sense of wonder and awe at the sheer beauty of it all.

It\'s a little surprising for him to find such a habitable planet like this, and it\'s nearby too. Plus, the resources it offers were certainly right up their alley. They could totally use some of those minerals to hasten the progress of their experiments and discoveries so Ashton made sure to create a very detailed mental map of the place so that he wouldn\'t forget where it was.

Ashton retrieved consciousness right after this and woke up.

He smiled to himself, feeling a sense of satisfaction at his findings. With this information, he could aid Alice and Blake\'s proposal for colonizing nearby points of interest. He climbed out of the bed and stretched his limbs, feeling refreshed and energized.

Ashton was deep in thought as he considered the points of interest he had surveyed. After much contemplation, he finally decided that the first place they should visit was Planet Arathia.

He thought about the precious resources that could be mined on Arathia, as well as the possibility of discovering new magic elements that could be used in the war against the Celestial and Hypogean Races. He knew that the journey to Arathia would be fraught with danger, but it was a risk they needed to take.

Ashton contacted Alice, Blake, and Mary to inform them of his decision. They discussed the logistics of the journey, including the type of ships they would need and how long it would take to travel to Arathia.

He assured them that the mental map he created earlier would make the journey more efficient, but they still needed to be prepared for any unforeseen circumstances. He reminded them that they were on a mission to save humanity and that they needed to work together to achieve their goal.

The group agreed to prioritize the mission to Arathia and began to make preparations for their journey. They knew that it would be a long and difficult road ahead, but they were determined to do whatever it takes to save their world.
