Every fanfic MC gets into potions and alchemy. But they master the subjects off-screen and then proceed to never use them.
He knew that Astronomy would be useful for when he eventually got into more complex potions and rituals.

"We need a savior! Who? Dumbledore? No, I was hoping there was a clueless orphan somewhere we could pick instead. No, not that one, we need someone less sane. Ooh, perfect, he's practically foaming at the mouth. Give him power. What could possibly go wrong?"
[This world has diverged drastically from the original course. As it is, there would be many wars in the future which would cause the destruction of this world. AR is unable to directly affect this world. Thus, they need a proxy, an agent who can influence things and prevent the destruction.

I do find it a bit strange he's read all those books on "pureblood etiquette" so he doesn't seem stupid, but now he's going to deliberate lengths to seem uneducated.
The next day, I woke up early due to excitement as it is the day I start Hogwarts. I already packed my stuff in my new trunk last night. Going over things the last time, I am now ready for Hogwarts. Matron gives me a ride to the railway station. I made my way toward platform 9 and went through the barrier by following other wizards who were dressed in robes. Coming out through the barrier, I saw the Hogwarts express with a red engine. Since it is early at 10:00 AM, Platform is not crowded. I easily make my way to the train and board. I found an empty compartment towards the back and went in and put my trunk on the overhead rack. I didn't shrink it to avoid suspicion since as an orphan 1st-year student, I am not supposed to know any magic.

Nah this is a really interesting excerpt, though. Because the MC explains that he's going to be acting entirely for the sake of his own self interest, but then when Fudge chooses not to risk his life against Voldemort or when Dumbledore chooses to keep Snape around for personal benefit he immediately writes the off as morons. Lol.
Next is the issue of Hogwarts. For a proclaimed safest place in England, From troll to basilisk, dementors, etc. it sure felt a lot more dangerous in the books. It's dangerous enough as it is, let alone getting involved and helping main characters which will have the danger level hit through the roof. No helping (or even interacting with them) will have to wait till I am strong enough and even then if it directly helps me in one way or another. Hey don't judge me, I am a pragmatic person and this world is a dangerous place where every wizard or witch carry weapons of mass destruction(wand) even if they don't realize it and ministry is not competent enough to make me feel safe (Not when minister of magic prefers to bury his head in the sand instead of facing problem even if it hits him in the face) and given that teachers have low regard for students safety, some even like to outright bully them(read Severus Snape). It's bad enough when the headmaster of school likes to give second chances to everyone like they are going out of style, what's worse is that he is chief warlock who presides over the wizarding court. Yup, laying low till I am strong enough is the way to go.

oh, so GREAT perfection was the limit. Why not just perfection tho?
The Mountain Elephant Sutra had reached Great Perfection, so it could no longer be improved. If he couldn't find a second bloodline and Demon Sutra, his strength would not increase further.

NGL it always irritates me when there's a stage beyond perfection

I'm liking this guy already.
Su Nan didn't think much about it and maintained his pace, running forward. In his view, even if the two were indeed chasing someone, it had nothing to do with him.

Diana Nemorensis[1] ("Diana of Nemi"), also known as "Diana of the Wood", was an Italic form of the goddess who became Hellenised during the fourth century BC and conflated with Artemis. Her sanctuary is on the northern shore of Lake Nemi beneath the rim of the crater and the modern city Nemi.
The ancient Goddess of the Forest, Diana, in Nemi (near present-day Italy) was a goddess of forests, beasts (livestock), and agricultural fertility. She had the ability to heal diseases with holy water, and her priests were called The Forest King.

A cold and dark sensation swept over the man's heart when staring at the newborn child. It doesn't matter if this baby was his flesh and blood. Hatred was burning in his eyes.
