2000 Years of Magic History in My Head

a tower of trials

The latest person to challenge the tower was Brad Hargreaves a year and a half ago.

Called Britain's greatest talent at the time, he expressed his intention to challenge the tower ahead of the eight-circle wall. Just then, the tower of trials was not closed. There was a hypothesis that the intensity of the ordeal might have been strengthened by the fact that no one passed the tower after the gate incident, but I was not sure as everyone who could prove the situation inside came back to me.

The fruits of trials are sweet.

The option of closure was never a choice, and people argued that the reason the challengers failed was because they lacked. So as much as Brad Hargreaves had no doubt that he would pass the ordeal, and Brad Hargreaves entered the tower of ordeal with the support of the people.

And an hour of ordeal.

Usually the ordeal is over in an hour.

It doesn't mean that the ordeal is that short, but that the time inside and outside of the crack is different.

"Tower of trials. The space formed in it is different in the flow of time from the world in which we live. The 10 hours spent in it can be one minute in real life, or 10 seconds. What's certain is that one hour in the real world is the limit of what can be endured by the human body, and that you're staying in the tower of trials beyond that is either lost on a level with high probability."

testimony of survivors

When a man called the Magician spoke in fear, people learned the truth of the tower.

But only five minutes.

Not long after Brad Hargreaves challenged the tower, he appeared to the world in a state of disorientation.

"Hee, hehe."

a bewitched face

A laugh that is played separately from one's expression.

He, who was called Britain's greatest talent by forming seven circles at the age of only 20, failed to endure the ordeal of T.O.P. and eventually lost his mind. It gave a tremendous shock to the magical society of the time. Brad Hargreaves' mental strength has gone beyond human limits, and his Mana Room training has been strong enough to proceed in five stages. When Brad Hargreaves appeared as a cripple in only five minutes, those who were stamping their feet and waiting for his safe return were speechless.

I was sure then.

"Brad Hargreaves was a genius we all acknowledge. All his moves were beyond the common sense of the world, and people were convinced that no one could be better than him in his growth. But if even Brad Hargreaves had collapsed on the tower of trials, the tower of trials should no longer be described as a disaster, not a prelude to growing the wizard. So as of this time, we will make sure that the towers of trials around the world are closed."

It was a valid judgment.

The tower of trials was closed down like that.

There were people who said they would challenge themselves afterwards.

People's greed is endless, and in the end it repeats past mistakes. There were people who secretly challenged the tower of trials despite the precedent of Brad Hargreaves, but their challenge was unknown to the public.

Why?

Because not a single person succeeded.

So Brad Hargreaves' challenge was the last official record left.

And it was also an unofficial challenge, not an official one, but an unofficial one under the authority of Abid.

"Have you thought enough?"

Abid.

He looked at Kang Min-hyuk.

Abid knows how crazy this is. Kang Min-hyuk is only a one circle wizard. It shows great physical ability, but a person who has only achieved one circle in the world of spirit can't survive the ordeal. Nevertheless, Abid could not refuse Kang Min-hyuk's request. That's not because I trust Kang, but because I believe in the speciality of his background.

The person of their choice.

I don't know if the word choice is right, but I knew it was unusual, so I allowed it to be a disaster.

Whi-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-eeing.

It was windy.

A forested land is prohibited.

At the center of it was a huge building called the Tower of Trial. In fact, it is ambiguous to say that it is a building. The shape of the tower is only sealed so that the cracks in the dimension do not affect the outside world, and there is a completely different world in it. When you step in, you can't get out of the world.

Kang Min-hyuk nodded.

"Yes, I'm ready."

"Okay."

Abid opened the way.

Kang Min-hyuk, who did not ask for a doctor again but moved to the tower of trials, was the last to warn Kang Min-hyuk.

"Never be misled. The moment you're swept away by dimensions, your mind will be lost."

The last word.

At the end of the sentence, Kang was eroded by the darkness of the ordeal.

Huayak

The consciousness expanded.

The moment I stepped into the tower of trials, I felt the whole world twisted except for the land where I stood.

Kugugugugugugu Palace

A roar was heard.

Then, a huge darkness hit Kang Min-hyuk as if Big Bang were happening.

Pod!

The world has changed.

Obviously there had been a world of common sense until just now, but now a world different from common sense has unfolded. Feels like you're floating in the middle of the universe. Suddenly, the words of the survivor came to mind.

The reason why the tower's ordeal is painful is that the world moves around 'self.' Every change that takes place in it puts a strong pressure on the challenger. Extreme pain, weighing down the body, pressing the mind. The human mind eventually collapses under the kind of pressure that humans cannot tolerate."

What he said was true.

Changes in the world centered on Kang Min-hyuk.

Pavavabak.

The supposed sky turned blue. The rapid fall of Mana turned into the shape of a meteor shower, and the ground shook, and the waves of Mana surged in. My eyes were wide open. It was a kind of world that I had never experienced before, or could not experience. The real world, not the use of welcome magic.

This place could not be explained by common sense.

"The longer you last in the tower of trials, the stronger the human spirit becomes." And the sorcerer, who can use stronger magic according to his mental strength, has no choice but to be greedy for sweetness."

Right behind.

There's a passage outside on a short walk.

It really doesn't take long, but there's still a reason why people go back to the lungs.

In most cases, the mind collapses first while trying to achieve results, and in some cases, it is swept away by the flow of the dimension and becomes a missing child at the level. In the end, only those who have the power to withstand the pressure and the will to restrain themselves can go out of this world in a whole spirit. And what inside thought only a speck had been obtained became the kind of quirks that had never been found before in the outside world.

Kang Min-hyuk had no intention of being greedy.

In a world where such common sense is broken down, courage is expressed not as courage, but as courage.

Cuckoo cuckoo kung.

The space has been distorted.

The ground rose and green suddenly rose into the sky. It quickly formed a huge mountain that made Kang look like a small dot. As such, the space continued to change without stopping. Only the place where Kang Min-hyuk stands is kept solid, and no other space has.

the center of space

Changes that took place around him were under strong pressure and forced upon Kang Min-hyuk.

Deaddard.

'It's weird.

I had a question.

According to the writings of the tower experienced in the trials, they were under strong pressure from the beginning of the ordeal.

"That would be an unfamiliar kind of pressure I've never experienced. From start to finish, the space of trials gives the challenger a strong pressure, and he must escape before his mind collapses under that pressure."

Pressure

This is the part that is emphasized over and over.

In return for hearing about a world where humans cannot live, he said he was under constant pressure in it. There was no exception. Those who passed the ordeal all claimed to have had a really painful time in the pain of pressure in one voice, and the opinions of such people gathered to form a "common sense."

So Kang Min-hyuk also predicted pressure.

by the way

'...why can't I feel pressure?’

I found out belatedly.

The fact that your body is not under pressure.

The phenomenon that people say did not apply to Kang Min-hyuk at all.

The tower of trials is not like a quest for games.

Knowing that supernatural phenomena are conducive to magic, people have only created a "one system."

What is the space of the tower, what level of pressure the tower has, and how much time it has to endure? It's not God's answer, it's the politics that countless challengers have found out through trial and error. But it was also not true, and when a variable occurred, people died without fail.

Nevertheless, there was a common application.

The pressure of trials is very strong, and the challengers suffer from pain from the start.

'I don't feel pressure, but rather calm.’

It was strange.

There was no pressure that people emphasized, and Kang Min-hyuk's body peacefully accepted the surrounding flow. It was stable. In a phenomenon that is different from his many reading experiences, Kang Min-hyuk was bound to be questioned.

'Why the hell is that's why.

Because he's mentally strong?

No.

It can't be because of that.

Among those who challenged the tower of trials are many ancient circle wizards. That would be a person with superhuman mentality that goes beyond human limits, but it is not credible to say that one's mental strength is stronger without any grounds. Or simply because you fit in with this world? It may be for such an absurdly simple reason, but Kang Min-hyuk doesn't believe in the moment when intentions and coincidences coincide.

This is a necessity.

The situation didn't happen to fit in by accident, but there must be a basis for it.

Kang Min-hyuk left his body to the flow around him.

As time goes by, the pressure of trials becomes stronger, and as you endure the pressure, so does the human mind.

"Whoo."

I picked my breath.

Slowly for now.

I decided to wait until I felt pressure.

Rather than making a hasty move and messing things up, now there was a need to slowly grasp the surroundings.

Kang Min-hyuk first looked around from the spot, and the surrounding area disturbed Kang's eyes with numerous changes.

How long have they been watching?

At that moment, Kang Min-hyuk's eyes changed.

"...uh?"

mana flow

Looking at it, I could see a system of constant motion.

It may be an absurd argument, but Kang Min-hyuk thought it was similar to the judgment of the guardian gate. If the world is likened to a human body, that kind of flow has the effect of inducing mana and creating something new. Thinking is difficult for the first time. Previously, if he had simply looked at the changes of the world, then he began to focus on the flow of mana that moved the world.

Cuckoo kung.

The changing world.

Kang Min-hyuk stayed still and followed the flow of the world.
