A water channel or waterway (수로), is a god-level item created by the primeval god Brahma.

Characteristics

The channel is an elaborate labyrinth consisting of a water channel, whose networks on different planets have different sizes and characteristics. The channel itself is located in a completely separate dimension; while the entrances can be found physically on different planets, the network itself does not exist on those planets.^[1] Every planet's water channels have secret passages leading to the water channels of other planets.^[2]

Planet Willarv

The water channel on planet Willarv has a total of 100 areas.^[3] It is primarily used as a shortcut between two continents which are separated by an ocean. Usually people traveling from Mistyshore to Kalibloom or Aeroplateau use the network in order to avoid Gandharva clan suras in the open ocean. In the case of university students, they can earn graduation points for crossing the channel successfully.

Planet Carte

The water channel on Planet Carte was used as a testing ground for magicians during exams; other functions are yet to be revealed. Unlike Planet Willarv, the Planet Carte channel had a larger network, with up to 400 areas, but with consistent, unchanging geography. However, it has traps set in different places, which transport people to completely different locations. This channel has been sealed in a different dimension since the destruction of Planet Carte in the year N5.

Planet Konchez

Before the destruction of this planet, it had the largest Temple of Chaos which contained the entrance to every water channel in the universe.^[4]

Season 1

Asha Rahiro plans to use the water channel to reach Kalibloom, as shipping routes are impassable due to the recent increase in hostility from the Gandharva clan. In order to traverse the channel, she acquires a suitable boat pilot, Ran Sairofe, pretending the reason is to help him get a proper official qualification as a magician (a so called "Alternative Quest").

Once inside the channel, the company notices that the terrain changes too early, and so they often get lost. After 12 days (1 week), they somehow reached the Area 50, where they planned to rest before they could move on to Area 51. As the location did not allow people to bathe, Kubera Leez decides to swim for a bit and wash herself quickly.

She hears a scream of a Gandharva sura that was hunted by Yuta, mistakes it for Yuta drowning and screaming for help, and runs too deep into Area 51 of the channel to be able to find her way back. There she meets God Kubera once again, this time being more cooperative with him, and she is able to get out of the changed terrain without much trouble.

However, the day after, before they could continue on, the company encounters another group of travelers returning from Area 100. They explain that after Area 51, the channel network turns completely chaotic and unpredictable, with connections of different areas becoming utterly random, and mysterious suras appearing everywhere.

Despite the risk, Asha and company decide to move on. Upon their arrival to Area 100, they are confronted by Taraka, who is waiting for her son, Yuta, to take him back to the sura realm. In order to keep his friends safe, Yuta tells them to move on without him, but Leez decides to rescue Yuta instead of moving forward. Due to this, Asha and Ran have to follow Leez, and they end up inside the now closed channel network of the former Planet Carte.

After the events of Ep.99, the channel of Planet Carte completely collapsed.^[5]

Season 2

The suras and Kubera attempt to perform the resurrection of Ananta nearby an entrance to the Water Channels.^[6]

Season 3

It is revealed that every planet's water channels have secret passages leading to the water channels of other planets. In Willarv's water channels, area 100 leads to Carte's area 251, and area 79 connects to Konchez's area 24.^[2] There also exists an underwater shortcut between areas 50 and 79 of Willarv.^[7]

An expedition gets sent to the planet Konchez through the water channels. The channels of Konchez appear to be filled with hot lava-like water and much of them is flooded.^[8]

A machine created by Kali exists in her Temple of Chaos on Konchez and it connects to all the water channels in the universe, although it is merely a one-way path.^[9] The members of the Konchez expedition return through this method and Leez climbs out of a crumbled former water channel entrance on Willarv.^[6]
