Roland Wimbledon/Power & Abilities

As a member of the royal family of the Kingdom of Graycastle, Roland possesses a certain amount of political power. After defeating Duke Ryan, he gained complete control over the Western Territory.

Thanks to his background as an engineer, Roland possesses a keen mind and vast knowledge of modern science. This allows him to design and build various tools and machines that either aid in defense, offense or improve quality of life. In addition, he can figure out how to utilize the witches' various abilities to help realize his designs and overcome the limit of the world's technology. His knowledge, however, is not absolute. He only possesses extensive knowledge in his field of expertise, along with what he could remember from his school years. In addition, although he knows how certain machines work, it still takes a lot of trials and errors to actually build said machines. It could be shown in certain scenes that he doesn't have in depth knowledge on plants, has no experience in construction and having the basic knowledge of the various components of minerals/ores.

Roland is also skilled in negotiation, capable of directing conversations to his advantage, and understanding how the other side thinks, allowing him to somewhat predict their next move or response.

Despite starting as the fourth prince in another world, Cheng Yan never used his privilege to push people around or ridicule them. Unlike current and past kings that existed, Cheng Yan genuinely cares for all his people. He also knew how to persuade people to fulfill his wishes for the advancement and wellbeing of his city, by using benefits like freedom, work benefits, gold royals and land giveaways as a lure. His weaponry and "mind control" abilities causes fear to enemies and allies alike as a result. Cheng Yan also doesn't discriminate against others, regardless of where they come from, or their social standing. He cares for everyone under him, no exceptions. He doesn't become agitated when someone is rude to him, such as Ashes, Lily, Agatha and Alethea. This broad mindset allowed him to bring many talented people over to his side such as the various citizens of the world, which normal lords and kings couldn't, mostly due to their stubborn mindset which led them to believe that commoners are talentless and useless.

A good example is Iron Axe, as he was scouted personally by Roland. If Roland were to care about Iron Axe's race issues too much, then he won't be able to gain the trust of the hunter, and lose an important subordinate who can gain information about Timothy and the Pure Witches with mental torture.

When considering which witches to enlist in his endeavors to develop his territory, he shows a preference for support-oriented witches. This is because he values the notion that witches who don't specialize in combat should be dedicated to aiding in the construction of the town. Nonetheless, even though he leans towards this direction, he acknowledges that the abilities of all witches that awaken are unique and serve a purpose. To add on to this, he believes that no ability can be considered useless, as they are diamonds in the rough waiting to be polished.

## **Dream World**

After defeating Zero, Roland absorbs a fragment of her memory, along with those of her 2123 previous victims. Their subconsciousness created a pseudo-reality in the form of a modern town, which he can access while dreaming. Roland discovered that everything he ever read (books, websites) could be accessed in this dreamscape. Therefore, one of the dreamscape's uses is his personal library, greatly aiding him in making new designs. In the Dream World, time goes 8 times faster than in the real world; meaning 3 days in the Dream World is 9 hours in the real world.

He should have also absorbed the lifespan which Zero gained after using her power on 2123 victims which would allow him to live more than 10,000 years. **Unfortunately, because Roland is a man, his ability to use magic was disabled and he did not obtain Zero's 10k years of life**.

Force of Nature

In the Dream World, he has awakened the Force of Nature, a type of magic power that has no gender restriction. However this power is only effective in the Dream World. This power gives him various of abilities which are:

* **Superhuman Strength** - By summoning the flowing energy in his body, he can pulverize stone and bend gold royals.
* **Superhuman Durability** - His resilience can increase together with his strength, as except for some numbness, he could still move after an explosion sent him flying through a wall built with soundproof panels before crushing heavily to the ground.
* **Superhuman Reflexes** - The power had drastically improved his dynamic vision and reaction speed.
* **Magic Power Absorption** - Roland can absorb the star cyclones of Fallen Evil.

Each time Roland consumes another force of nature, his power within the dreamworld grows stronger, and the dreamworld expands and stabilizes, but at the cost of his conscious "real world" body's health. Each obtained core shortens his life. As of chapter 1350, he only had 14 years to live.
