Return of the 10th Circle Archmage

-December 17, 2022, around 2:30 pm, North Korea bombarded Baengnyeong Island in Baengnyeong-myeon, Ongjin-gun, Incheon, giving shock.

“Is there a war?”

Lee Ji-yeon, who was driving, looked at me with a surprised face.

"well······."

I read the afterimage of the wind and began to trace back the shelling incident that took place on Baengnyeong Island.

'Well······. Did North Korea launch a preemptive attack using the US-South Korea military exercise as an excuse?

As I read past economic newspapers, I naturally read a lot of articles about North Korea.

Since its founding, North Korea has frequently engaged in local warfare along the 38th parallel since before 6.25.

In particular, the Korean People's Army mainly attacked the border areas of the Ongjin Peninsula, Kaesong, Uijeongbu, Chuncheon, and Gangneung that were under the jurisdiction of the Republic of Korea.

Kim Il-sung suggested to Joseph Stalin a full-fledged invasion of South Korea 48 times, and Stalin refused each time, judging that the timing was not appropriate.

In the end, when the US troops withdrew, Kim Il-sung obtained Stalin's approval to invade the South and carried out a massive surprise invasion of South Korea on June 25, 1950, with military support from the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China on his back.

'Besides, even after the armistice, they continued to provoke South Korea...'

Starting with the Gangneung Armed Accident, the 1st and 1st Battle of Yeonpyeong, several nuclear tests, the provocation of the Cheonan, the mines of the wooden ship, and the shelling of Yeonpyeong Island.

'It's very diverse...'

Whenever an economic crisis escalated within the country, North Korea gave South Korea a sandbag.

Then, Korea could not counterattack properly, but only pretended to counterattack and looked at the people.

‘Because no one wants the war to spread to the front.’

It wasn't something I couldn't understand. If there is really an all-out war with North Korea, Seoul, the capital of South Korea, will be a waste of time.

Then, as in the case of June 25, if war broke out, I wondered if it would be possible to restore the country even if it took 50 years or more.

'In the past, it was just a gun or cannon, but now...'

North Korea now did not have such conventional weapons (non-weapons of mass destruction), but nuclear weapons with long-term radioactivity that did extensive damage, and terrible biological and chemical weapons that should not be distributed on Earth.

So even when people are angry, they are really reluctant to wage an all-out war with North Korea.

-Currently, the military authorities moved the K-9 again and started responding shelling at 14:47, 13 minutes after the first attack, and fired 50 rounds at the Budo fortress in the north, and 30 rounds at the buttocks campsite in the north, firing a total of 80 rounds. Breaking news that it was fired.

Me and Lee Ji-yeon had no choice but to stare blankly at the DMB screen until they arrived at the office.

It was me who wanted to teleport and pluck Kim Jong-un's hair, but I felt like I had to get Lee Ji-yeon out of the office first.

“Mr. Jiyeon. Just leave work today and go home. And for the time being, until I call you, take a vacation anywhere in your hometown or in a nice place.”

"Yes? What is that suddenly... Were you afraid of war?”

“There is something like that, and so far, Jiyeon has worked hard without taking a vacation. At this point, it would be nice to take a few days off on the pretext of war, isn’t it?”

"Hmm······."

Lee Ji-yeon did not hesitate to say no, but blurted out the end of his words. In fact, everyone in the country knows that it will not spread to war.

In fact, it has been a long time since South Korea's armed forces surpassed North Korea's military power, and even if it inflicts great damage, it is North Korea that suffers from war.

If we suffer irreparable damage, North Korea will simply disappear as a country.

Kim Jong-un wasn't expecting that, either.

They're just asking for rice to rip off a few bucks.

"after······."

After leaving Lee Ji-yeon from work, I quietly returned to the office.

Tack Tak Tak Tak Tak!

As I entered the office, I saw Chan-gyu Park, who was busy typing on the monitor.

“Chankyu, did you write something today?”"uh? Lee Joon-hyuk! Are you going to work now?”

“I came here for a college interview.”

“Aha~”

Chan-gyu swiped his glasses with the index finger of his right hand, raised it and smiled brightly. Looking at the guy's expression, he seemed to be completely unaware that a war had begun.

“How many books did you write today?”

"me? I wrote about two. Now I just have to write one more.”

“How long have you been writing? I'll see you too."

“Ah, it’s a shame…”

I took Chan-gyu's seat and sat down and read the novel he wrote.

-Jun-hyeok takes revenge on his friends yesterday, saying, 'Yesterday, when I sent you, why did you pretend to know? Do you want to suddenly get to know me because I work for a matop group?’ and cast cider.

“Hey, this happened a while ago.”

"uh. All of the original writing stems from the person's experience. I don’t write it just out of inspiration.”

“Oh, I think this is too cringy.”

“Only you, only you. Everyone likes cider, but what?”

"is it······?"

I looked at the number of views Chankyu wrote.

Paid Views

-732

-720

-723

“Hey, which hit has the higher number behind?”

“Uh, I uploaded 3 episodes a day, so people skipped to the fondant fondant and watched it. However, since I upload three episodes each, it protects the reading rate compared to other people, and it’s good.”

“Is this protected?”

“If you upload one episode at a time, it’s already dropped to ten.”

"Right."

For some reason, I thought I should make an item that would make me write well.

‘A ring that absorbs the writing skills of the greatest writers of all time? Or is it a necklace that absorbs the writing skills of the hottest paid best writers recently?’

There seemed to be nothing that could not be made.

“Chankyu, haven’t you heard the news yet?”

“What news?”

“North Korea provoked again this time.”

"what? really???"

I informed Chan-gyu in detail that a few dozen minutes ago, North Korea had bombed our island in the West Sea.

Although I had not yet finished writing, Chan-gyu was very indignant at North Korea's provocations because he had gone to the military.

“Actually, I was discharged as a soldier of interest, but I did suffer a lot because of the North Koreans. Because of them, Jindo dogs are dispatched every day, and I can't sleep at night and I keep working. Ugh······."

“Is that so? I'm not in the military, so I don't know."

"okay. When I was private, the Cheonan incident happened, so it wasn't too much of a fuss. All my vacations were cancelled, and I continued to work all night and did a lot of useless training.”

"Well······."

After hearing about Chan-gyu, I didn't want to go to the army. I'm still in middle school, so should I call the Ministry of National Defense and ask for a waiver?

Aren't you born in the 90's?

“Anyway, Chan-gyu. I may not be able to go to work for a while due to work. Jiyeon is also on vacation. So, by the way, if you're not comfortable going to work here alone..."

"what? really?"

When Lee Ji-yeon and I said that they weren't going to work for a while, Chan-gyu ran around and liked it.

“Can I take over this big office here on my own? Wow, honey…”

“·················ogue.”

“I prefer being stuck here than in a cramped corner. In fact, I didn’t even leave work and wanted to live here forever.”

"I see···."

In fact, since this month, I started paying 10 million won a month to Chan-gyu, so there was no way for Chan-gyu to have any money.

‘Would you be suspicious if you even apply for an apartment in Seoul with the writer support policy?’

No matter how much my friend supported me to that extent, I felt like I would be caught by the tail.

“Then, if you want to stay here, you can stay. If I don't go to work, no one says anything. It's my personal office after all."

"really? So do I really live here?”

“So.”

Chan-gyu liked to bring a rakuraku bed from tomorrow, what to bring, and a riot.

The whole country was at war, and he was the only one who was excited.

“Mr. Junhyeok. Where are you going?”

“North Korea.”

“·················ogue.”

I was persuading the people around me, including my family, to go on a short trip.

However, I was honest about it with my life mentor, Ari.

“Where are you going there? What nonsense...”

Ari thought I was playing a strange prank again, and frowned. Firmly angry face.

“I can’t if I don’t go. Then more people will be hurt or harmed.”

“But, what will change when Junhyeok goes?”

“It changes a lot.”

"how?"

“Once South and North Korea will be reunified.”

"Yes!???"

Ari put on an absurd expression on my rant. Should I reveal that I am a wizard at this point?

Or do you just keep pushing like a Moorim?

“Anyway, I’ve never been to North Korea before, but I’m going to try it once. Jung-eun is picking her hair.”

"under······."

“Don’t worry too much and just wait patiently. You will hear good news on the news soon.”

“A man in his 30s who defected to North Korea drunk on Superman cosplay, was dragged to the Aoji coal mine? What kind of news is this?”

“Hahaha, even a joke.”

“Isn’t that a joke?”

“……Oh, I just said it.”

“······································································!?”

“I’m just going to go on a trip and look around.”

Ari held on to me while crying and tearing me apart.

“Don’t go, Junhyuk. Please don't do anything weird again."

"No. It's what I have to do. If you don’t do this, you’re just a caterpillar of rice bugs.”

"Phew······."

I held out my right hand to Ari, who was blushing with a disappointed expression.

Whoaaaah!

Then a flame rose from her hand.

"uh!?"

Ari, who was about to cry, saw the sight and widened her eyes.

and.

Whoop!

“Mr. Junhyeok!?”

I used Blink to teleport behind Ahri on the spot.

“Why are you calling me?”

swish.

Ahri, who looked back, was startled and stepped back.

“What is this...”

“Last time I said I was a wizard. In fact, I kept trying to hide it, but I can't. Instead, only Ari should know. Secret to others.”

"Ugh······."

I looked at her surprised expression as if it was funny, and then grinned.

“What is your wish? flying in the sky? teleportation? Say whatever you want.”

“Uh…, uh….”

Ari was at a loss for words in her bewilderment, she said.

“Is Junhyeok really a wizard?”

"Yes. Hye-eun knew right away, but Ari is a bit dull in this kind of thing.”

“That… but…”

How could a wizard exist in this world, she continued to be puzzled.

“That’s it…”

I opened my mouth by explaining the past 15 years ago, when I was summoned by the god of another world.

“I was the chosen one.”

"select···? What choice?”

“The one chosen to save the world.”

“·················ogue.”

“Even though it was a world that had nothing to do with me, I was chosen by the Lord God there, went to another world, stayed there for 100 years, and came back alive. Kill the demon.”

“·················ogue.”

“Can’t you believe it?”

I turned to Ari, who was standing blankly with an absurd face.

- GRAVITY

“Uh, uh….”

Cast the magic of the coefficient of gravity.

Then her body began to float in the air.
