I Alone Going To The Tower

Chapter 3

“…haha, something grandiose? Then tell me how to use magic.”

At my question, she raised her arm and pointed over her.

“Go to the 9th floor first. The answer is there.”

“The 9th floor?”

“Yes, this is where the private office of the master is located. This way…”

I followed Ea’s back and glanced around lightly.

Looking back, it was a very unfamiliar and foreign place.

To put it bluntly, it feels like a chemistry lab, but I wondered if there was such a colorful lab in the world.

The walls and floors were all in golden color, and in the central lobby, soft sofas and cushions were also placed.

Cup-like debris was also sparsely visible, as evidenced by once-inhabited humans.

“Are people supposed to live here in the past?”

“Of course. For 10 years, I was the only one. This is it.”

She guided me to the magic circle installed on the floor. The form was different from the one that was activated from my hand earlier.

“How do you use this?”

“You can climb up the magic circle.”

As I climbed up, the magic circle started to glow brightly. A button appeared in front of me like an elevator.

From the 1st floor to the 9th floor.

The place where I am standing now is the first floor of the tower.

From the second floor, the button light was off. And the light was on on the 9th floor, the top floor.

It was also blinking hard, as if to press it. I pressed that button.

Whoa!

Suddenly, I felt my feet float up, and in the blink of an eye, the surroundings changed.

The elevator button in the air flashed a blue light as if to inform that we had arrived on the ninth floor.

EA, who appeared after her, gracefully bowed her back and said,

“Welcome to the 9th floor, the Master’s Room.”

If the first floor felt like a luxurious hotel lobby, the ninth floor was a neat and tidy place reminiscent of a private office.

I looked around once.

What caught my eye more than anything on this 9th floor was the night view of Seoul beyond the glass-like wall.

An exclamation came out of nowhere.

‘… … The night view is just amazing. It looks like a drama somewhere, and the bosses are standing behind their backs in a place like this.’

While enjoying the night view with vain thoughts, I was surprised to see the reflection in the window.

My right eye was shining as blue as the color of mana.

The blue eyes continued to change abstractly even at this moment.

It felt like the waves were rolling over, and it felt like a typhoon was swirling around.

“Ah, why are my eyes like this?”

“These eyes are the symbol of Matapism. They are the eyes of the wise.”

like that. This is the essence of my unique ability, right?

It’s good, but it stings a lot. I think I’ll have to stand up and wear a lens later.

I glanced around my office once lightly, then sat awkwardly at my desk. It was an old-fashioned design, but it was as comfortable as my custom chair.

“Then rest in peace.”

Ea disappeared into the air so as not to disturb me. I took a moment to catch my breath and think.

“…Ummm.”

it’s magic

I came to the 9th floor, but I still had no idea how to use magic.

The use of mana by modern players is mainly when using unique abilities, and other than that, it is mana coating that gives mana to weapons or clothes to enhance them.

But if you suddenly ask me to use this mana to use magic, anyone will be puzzled.

Then a flash of thought ran through my head.

‘Isn’t that the way to go out if you memorize a magic spell like in the movie?’

I looked all over the 9th floor looking for the magic spell. Then I found a plausible book on a bookshelf in a corner.

The title is “Magic Stone”.

Author: Ruin Kylus.

Somehow, the title reminded me of the bible of high school education, which has been at the top for 30 years.

‘Is this what Ea said?’

I opened the book.

It was all in an unknown foreign language, but miraculously, I was able to read all of them.

I read the author’s first words thinking that it might be thanks to the ‘Sage’s Eye’ I got this time.

“What is magic?”

I sat down and read a book without hesitation.

It had great suction power.

It’s not that the contents of the book are just interesting, but I felt like an adventurer who spyed on information about newspapers alone.

By the time the bookshelves were over a third.

‘Wow, Mr. Do you think this will be real?’

I couldn’t stand it because I wanted to use magic.

At first, I read it half as a joke, but the more I read, the more I realized that the science of magic wasn’t just catching a cloud.

I returned to the first chapter again with a fluttering heart.

“Let’s see, let’s see. The method of classifying magic differs from wizard to wizard, but I categorize it into three categories based on the activation conditions. Spell magic, command magic, and magic circle…”

The author recommends that you choose one of the three fields and study them intensively. After much deliberation, I decided to choose ‘Magic Circle’.

The reason was simple.

Because the magic circle is the fastest among the three.

Without the need to memorize spells orally, the magic circle was a system that turned into magic by drawing a specific scheme with mana.

As long as you master it, you will reach a point where you can print all the magic circles in the air, but it was good that it could be activated quickly even during battle.

It is easy to cope with the variables, so it will be able to be used enough in the modern urgent battle of monsters.

‘Can I choose an easy one for the first magic?’

I decided to learn the ‘Gauntlet’, one of the three basic magic circles.

In the standard of magic, the tasks are divided in order so that beginners can easily follow them, so all you have to do is follow them.

-first. Choose a place where you want to draw a magic circle, and spread your magic power as if you were unfolding a flat drawing paper.

The wizards of the other world seem to call this ‘base’.

I put two layers of the base on the desk and put my finger on it.

As if holding a brush, a blue dot appeared where the finger was placed. I looked at the next chapter, concentrating my magic on my fingers.

-Now draw straight circles to compose the ‘field’.

Ugh, I’m stuck at the beginning.

It’s not easy to draw a straight circle with your bare hands.

Contrary to what I thought, my fingers were drawing near-perfect circles, as if using a compass.

I looked at my fingers with a bewildered expression for a moment, then moved on to the next one.

Next is runes.

‘Rune’ was simply a letter with magical powers. You can create magical effects by drawing this letter using mana.

I engraved a single rune character from the book in the center of the circle.

‘Oh oh.’

Obviously this was the first time I’d done something like this, but my fingers were moving boldly as if I had never done it once or twice.

In the blink of an eye, I drew almost exactly the same characters as in the book.

-Now write the activation formula on the border of the circle.

Creating a magic circle was not as difficult as I thought.

By analogy, it felt similar to the electronic circuit work in which science and engineering electronics students inserted electronic components on the board during practical classes, and made and soldered circuits with lead wires.

So ten minutes later.

‘It looks pretty plausible.’

I was looking at the first magic circle I made.

Actually, the magic circle I imagined at first looked like a six-pointed star with colorful patterns, but in reality, it looked like a complex mathematical formula arranged in a circle.

I was skeptical that magic would come out of this, but it was also true that I was looking forward to it at the same time.

Now it’s the finishing touches. I put my finger on the rune in the center and injected a certain amount of mana.

Whoa!

The mana that I let out breathes life into the runes and then disperses to other places.

Various components were activated as they flowed freely along the detailed formula, and soon they reached the border of the circle.

As if a stream of water was flowing down into a hollow in the ground, the mana flowing in the magic circle was flowing with a certain regularity.

Finally, mana circulated smoothly throughout the magic circle, and the blue light became even brighter.

this is cool

I was enjoying the supreme feeling of pride. It seems to have created a living, breathing ecosystem rather than a simple schematic.

Now, it’s time to test whether the magic circle works properly.

He slowly lifted the magic circle attached to the desk, and then released his hand.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

The magic circle stayed in the air as if the coordinates were fixed.

Then, with a desperate heart, he pushed his right hand into the magic circle.

‘Please do it! please… … !’

Sreung.

When I pushed my right hand into the magic circle, it felt as if I had put my hand in a soft fur glove.

The magic circle, which was flat, turned into a three-dimensional circle and bulged out in the shape of a finger.

In this state, I pushed my arm a little more.

Sooo!

Finally, my hand broke through the magic circle, and the magic circle’s mana naturally wrapped around my hand and shimmered in blue light.

[You have completed the first Gauntlet Magic Circle.][Intellect has increased by 1 level.][The concentration has increased to the first floor.]

‘… … done!’

The moment I completed the magic for the first time, countless emotions crossed my mind.

Cursed compatibility ability. A unique ability that does not become stronger even with high magical power.

I felt like I was rewarded for how much effort I put in to raise my abilities.

‘I want to test my power.’

According to the standard of magic, the gauntlet is a striking type magic.

While searching for a suitable place, I took a fighting stance towards the wall. Even after being bombed by the military, the tower is still intact, so this should be fine.

With her legs stretched out, she thrust her fists trembling with mana in front of her with all her might.

Aww!

With a sound reminiscent of an explosion, my fists bounced back with anti-elasticity.

The gauntlet disappeared at the same time as it applied a huge impact, leaving a fist-shaped scratch on the wall.

“It’s going to be real!”

Absolutely, this kind of power does not come out just by gathering magical power into fists.

I was able to conclude that this was really magic.

“Heh heh heh.”

An unbearable laughter erupted.

This is the moment when the world’s first wizard was born.
