Return of the Archmage

Chapter 4

4.

The rice was delicious.

Warm white rice, boiling soybean paste stew, thick egg roll.

Spam on top of a spoon of rice covered with plastic wrap.

I don’t even remember how long it’s been since I had a home-cooked meal.

Even before going to the fantasy level, it was filled with cup noodles or triangular kimbap every day, so it could be older than that.

As a result, the rice bowl was quickly emptied.

“Is it good?”

“Yes, ma’am. More, please.”

“Oh my. Has Hyesung ever eaten so deliciously?” She’s about to feel better. Ho-ho.”

Naturally, the atmosphere became amicable.

“Yeah, Hyesung. You know the skills I gained from awakening? Can you tell me about it?”

Even the soft questions are answered with a smile.

“How do you check?”

Ask as if you don’t know anything.

I was going to ask Han Seo-young, but I’ll give you this information on my own. Can you refuse?

“Skill information. All you have to do is shout commands and concentrate. It might not work the first time, but try putting your left hand on your left neck.”

“I guess it doesn’t mean much?”

“It’s just a manual from the World User Association. If you can open a hologram with your will, you don’t really need it.”

Then.

As for the will, Lee Hye-sung is not outstripped by dragons.

“About Skills.”

Will to see information about skills.

When I opened my eyes, the first letters I saw began to be engraved in the air.

[Skills]

1. The one who accepts the soul (F)

“There’s one.”

“What is it?”

Sparkling eyes. The high expectation makes me feel like I shouldn’t let go of my expectations.

I don’t think the F at the back is a grade that meets Han Jin-soo’s expectation, who is narrowing the psychological distance by bending his upper body so that it doesn’t fit his big body.

Don’t mind and fill your stomach with a spoon.

Then I asked.

“What’s the best grade?”

“Huh?”

“Skills. There’s a rating after the name.”

“What alphabet is attached to it?”

It’s a fight of wits.

He answered in a trivial way.

“Is SS good for you?”

“Gasp!”

Han Jin-soo’s spoon, which he held tightly, fell down without a single sip.

Han Seo-young, who was putting soybean paste stew in her mouth, also stopped.

Surprised eyes were on him.

No way. No way.

The eyes of distrust poured out, but on the other hand, there were also some expectations that if Lee Hye-sung was a dancer who was seen in the crack, it would be possible if it was his potential.

“No, I’m not saying SS. I’m asking because I think SS is the best.”

“Whoo.”

One should know how to play hard to get.

He sighs as he is relaxed and tells him the truth.

“The one who accepts the soul. It’s grade F.”

“…what?”

“Grade F. How good is this? There’s an alphabet from A to Z, so maybe 6th?”

And people are always disappointed as they have high expectations.

The expectations I saw in the crack were shattered for an instant.

“Looking at his face, I guess I’m not supposed to eat this deliciously. Thank you for the meal.”

Lee Hye-sung, who finished three bowls, got up from his seat.

Han Seo-young snatched him by the wrist.

“Really?”

“Uh, don’t you believe me?”

“…Share me your skills.”

“Sharing? Like information?”

I thought I wanted to express my will and share skill information to her.

With him, details of the soul-receiver were spread out.

[The one who accepts the soul]

▶ Grade: F

▶ Content: Accept the soul floating in Nine Heavens. Certain conditions must be met and only one time is invoked.

▶ Effect: Soul possessed (0 times available)

“…soul?”

He shrugged at Han Seo-young’s suspicious eyes.

The truth has already been told.

It’s entirely up to her to accept.

***

Lee Hye-sung heard some more information.

“User Information.”

[User Information]

▶ Level : 1

▶ Stats (1)

– Force : 1

– Agility : 1

– Physical strength : 1

– Mana : 1

It’s simple, but the hologram that anyone on Earth wants.

The beginning is simple, but if you raise the level, move around the crack, and get a title, it will be filled one by one.”

“So, you don’t know where the crack will occur, and the level of the user that can enter depends on the level of the crack.”

“The crack we went to is level 2, so 20 users usually go in.”

“Who’s the highest level user?”

“Kang In-ho.”

“Your name sounds like a Korean.”

“Right, I can’t remember anything at times like this. You’re the one I’ve been longing for 12 times a day.”

“You must be crazy.”

“I think he’s even crazier right now.”

And the information you need to live with.

No, these are the information you need to be rich.

Currently, the Earth is going back to the new resources and energy core from the cracks, and it’s a pity for Lee Hye-sung, who hoped there would be no monsters like monsters and dragons, but those were the main things that moved the world.

“It’s a shame.”

“What?”

“Crack, I would have ruled the world without it.”

“You’ve come to life, and you’ve got more lies.”

It wasn’t to the point where I shivered with disappointment.

Fortunately, it doesn’t seem like a world where dragons are rampant like a fantasy, the devil crosses the continent, and the seven-circle wizards gather hundreds of magic to create 9-circle magic.

Still, there are fewer than three wizards in the top 50 ranking, with only 0.1% of current users who are at level 40.

Treatments are precious.

Among the users.

That’s enough.

“So you’re a knight at number one?”

“It’s weird to say it’s an article. I do use a sword.”

“That’s enough.”

“What?”

“I’m a hell of a knight.”

“……That’s crazy. Again.”

I don’t have the slightest intention of bothering and dominating or conquering the world.

Even the empire that dictators a continent the size of Earth, it clearly saw its collapse, even though its power was three times greater than that of all the continents.

No, he came forward himself and brought it down.

Therefore, I know how meaningless it is to rule the wide world.

However, the title of the world’s best always remains.

From a fantasy perspective.

Even on Earth.

It’s just a small hobby and joy of life.

Of course, it’s a long way to go for Level 1 members.

I’ll just keep that in mind for now.

Now I do what I can do now.

“Where do you raise your level?”

“Crack!”

“Let’s go.”

“Where?”

“You said it was a crack.”

My heart beats. I’m excited.

Although he spent 30 years as a fantasy, he met Dragon Road from the first time and grew up like a munchkin to others.

I told you everything because I didn’t die and I had the power to smash your head with one fist.

But here it starts at the bottom.

With a F-level skill that’s useless use.

It has less mana than a rat tail, so 10 circles of magic is sealed!

“This is how ordinary people do it.”

Nevertheless, it is full of ease.

I feel like I’ve already come once.

Han Seo-young shook her head as if she was sick and tired of seeing Lee Hye-sung.

“Yes, yes, but my friend. Let’s register users first.”

Before the accident, Lee Hye-sung was a difficult child to take care of, from one to ten.

But after the accident, Lee Hyesung feels like he’ll do well on his own.

Although it was 180 degrees different from before, Han Seo-young sighed at the feeling of a bomb that would explode if left alone as we talked.

“Let’s go now.”

“Hey, you crazy bastard. It’s 3:00 in the morning. I’ll take you home tomorrow, so let’s just go to sleep.”

What should I say?

I don’t know where my future journey will go.

Han Seo-young had a good sense as well as a good sense.

4.

It is not difficult to register as a user.

“It’s just a star in the sky to be awakened as a user, and all users have the right to grow under the protection of the state.”

Two million out of 6.2 billion.

A ticket that can only be obtained through a 0.05 per cent chance.

Those who receive it can receive all the services for the users supported by the state if they just post their names.

All you have to do is show it.

User information.

User ID cards are created with sharing.

ID card that you don’t need to carry around separately.

[Detailed system registered][Attachment will be added to the user information][User Information]

▶ Level : 1

▶ Team: South Korea (1Lv)

▶ Stats (1)

– Force : 1

– Agility : 1

– Physical strength : 1

– Mana : 1

Level 1 tier is the grade paid to the first user. In the future, we can raise the rating through various activities such as crack targeting and user support, and the higher the level, the more benefits we can get.”

I didn’t care much, so I let it slip.

If you think that you have to raise your level and hold on to it anyway, you will raise it without saying anything.

I’m sure that’s why it’s designed.

On the outside, it seems to be trying to make users comfortable and motivate competition in good faith, but it is a shackle to block, manage, and hold users who are going abroad at a low cost.

Shackles can be restricted or sandbags depending on how they are used.

“So now we can get into the breach, right? Let’s go.”

“Yeah, it’s a request. I can do it on my tablet. This sister goes with me specially.”

“Huh? I don’t need it.”

I’m getting a sandbag that I need to clean up before him.

Lee Hye-sung shook his head firmly.

I got enough information.

It is not too late to experience and realize the miscellaneous knowledge needed by moving around cracks.

It’s magic at level 2 crack. Everyone is on the verge of dying, so they just shush and move on, but when they see more incredible things than they need, they are bound to doubt and be greedy.

Han Seo-young doesn’t seem to do that, but there is only one reason why she wants to go alone.

“You said we’d have to split the money if we went together. I can do well on my own, so go hunt with my uncle.”

You have to have money to do anything.

In terms of fantasy, how hard it was to have 10 circles and no money.

Han Seo-young muttered as if to listen to Lee Hye-sung, who was waving his hands, instead of holding him.

“Anyway, if you’re going to say that, I can’t help it. It’s not a bloody relationship. My dad won’t spend any of his money together, so I hope you eat well and live well.”

Lee Hye-sung’s walk to leave the door stopped like a lie.

And looked down at the empty hand.

“I won’t give you a penny.”

“I don’t give him heels, either. Of course. Hehe.”

Han Seo-young quickly approached and folded her arms.

“No need, it won’t fit.”

They headed for a crack.
