Hermit Wizard

‘It hurts! ’

Maru thought he was screaming. But I didn't hear anything. I couldn't even squeeze enough impulse to sound the air. I'm already using it to resist all the MP. The pressures on the body were stubborn and brutal.

‘It hurts so much! ’

I thought I wanted to cry if I had a human tear gland in my body. Thousands of small blades pierced and sliced through the blood vessels. I have never experienced such pain in my entire memory. Maru thought he wanted to die the first time he was born. It was a pain that I never imagined would exist.

‘It hurts so much · · · seclusion · ·! ’

Maivy scratched the space and threw it over the floor, and the young pioneer was desperately defending himself with impulse. The pain that plagued the floor was of two kinds. The repulsive power of the two forces crushed me on my naked body. And the aftermath of pulling the impulse beyond his limits fluctuated as if it would burn all the cells and vessels.

Maru summoned Yoon Min-jun into his heart. It was a scream that didn't make a sound.

‘I can't stand it any longer. I'd rather die. ’

I turned my eyes close. Parvasse is losing his mind and floating in the air. The body of the doll, just a few days after it was received, became a whole new window. All power is consumed to withstand Maibi attacks and protect the floor. Self-recovery is stopped. If you leave it like that, the soul will soon be separated from the doll.

I think of the floor.

What if I die like this? ’

It was only two years left. Even in extreme pain, Maru thought about the meaning of his death. It reflected the people whose lives had been left behind.

Her life wasn't even much of a memory to come to mind. Most of the knowledge he had was from other beings. In comparison, only one handful of the floors experienced, judged directly, and felt directly.

‘What is it? ’

It was a short life. What will happen to this soul after it dies? Are there any pioneers who have not crossed the wall, whose souls are worthy? Where is the body of this soul?

In the first place, he realizes again that his birth was not a normal form. A thoroughly intended life. Planned production. Schizophrenia present as a deteriorating plate of the body, not as normal reproduction for replicating genes.

‘Really, is this a unit price? ’

And no matter how he is reincarnated, it will not be himself already. That is why all life fears death, knowing the existence of the Shin Society.

‘I'm scared! ’

Naturally, I remembered a familiar face in my head. The floor thought about a human being. Most of his short, short life was him, and almost all the landscape he could see was him.

‘It was my father's intention to be beside the secret. But it was my choice to stay. ’

It was his intended life, but he chose it.

‘From my first memory, there was already seclusion by my side. ’

Sometimes questions arose. Are you the only one left by the Creator who wants to remain hidden? Is that how it was designed? If I find out, what I've chosen for myself in my life is nothing. In fact, maybe it wasn't premeditated to live like this instead of living the way you chose?

Maybe what you were born with, those factors that I couldn't choose, ultimately dictated all your choices?

Every time I thought about it, I felt a creepy fear.

‘No, stop. ’

Just before being swamped by the swamp of negative thinking, the young pioneer holds on to himself again.

‘My father didn't even intend to give me intelligence in the first place. ’

You are not controlled. He was also disconnected. Whatever the intention of making yourself, the floor decided not to care about it anymore. No one has gained life by begging to be born. There is no debt to the Creator because it is a life obtained regardless of his intentions. I choose for myself how to use my life.

Maru thought about his life. I thought about what that meant.

‘If you die like this. ’

Too bad, scary, absurd, desperate, regrettable.

At least I want to leave meaning in this life.

Maru thought about Yoon Min Joon again.

‘If you die like this, at least. ’

Maru's gaze again turned towards Parvash. A young pioneer pledges in extreme pain.

‘Without me, there's only Parvash to think of as much seclusion as I do. You can't let me and Parvasse both die. ’

Maru thought about Yoon Min Joon being left in this strange world. A human body that has no idea when it will recover. The savior of the MoD, who is hard to determine if he is insane. Moreover, how will the Commission treat him in the event of an emergency?

In order for Yoon Min Joon to survive in this environment?

‘Even Parvash must be beside the secret. I'm going to have a hard time living anyway. ’

It quietly leads to thoughts.

‘It will take more than an hour for other pioneers to fully interpret my distractions. Compared to that, I have less than 10 minutes to live. ’

Currently, all the power of the floor is used to protect itself. Given that, it was 10 minutes.

The young pioneer thought coldly before death. Parvash's doll stops functioning if it's like that. His spirit will be absorbed in the rings of the shining circle. There is no talent to save the souls that have been sucked into it.

‘My purpose is me. Once I'm dead, I won't try to kill Parvash stubbornly. It's better to have witnesses. My objective is to have a little longer self-defense time at trial. To speak his ideas. ’

The floor was determined.

‘Then, I'd rather be left with this power. ’

Instead of extending one's life for 10 minutes.

‘Power up Parvash's doll. ’

Ensure that the self-healing function built into the doll can be actuated.

The young pioneer made a choice. Having hardened his heart, it was his turn to move on to action.

There was no hesitation.

* * *

Boogle Boogle.

I feel a warm liquid all over my body. The darkness and light alternate before my eyes. The sleeping brain was waking up. The psychiatric body is connected. This time, it wasn't the doll's body. The body I was born with.

I heard a blunt voice.

“Oh, my God, I'm fully recovered! ”

Most of the body has been replaced by ants, but it's no different from the human body when it comes to appearance and functional aspects. You built the magic circuit perfectly.

“The channel is closed again. ”

Unlike before, there's still a faint crack. Yeah, that's what the seed channel looks like. When you give magic power, it opens round, and when the magic power is cut off, you only have a long rainbow left.

The owner of the voice was easily distinguishable. Zeret and Tellasmogayne. I didn't have the help of the temples, but I understood the language of the pioneer.

My eyes seem to have been open for a long time. As the consciousness returned, an opaque liquid appeared. A huge pile of tentacles looking at me beyond the glass tubes.

“Hey, can you hear me? Oh, you don't understand, do you? ”

Instead of nodding, I focused on the inside. He speaks to the opponent who has been talking so far.

‘Time is ticking again. Help me. We need to save two. ’

I muttered, as if he didn't deserve it.

[I don't know what to do with you. I'm not helping you. Now that you've realized it, you can just do it. If you do this now, it's not good for the long term, but you can't help it.]

‘How can I? ’

[I told you, it's not perfect, but you'll be me soon. If it's a seed before it's fully sown, you can move it anywhere you want. Try it. That's the only way you can use it right now.]

‘This channel hasn't listened to me so far. Stuck in the chest, never moved. ’

[You've connected it to the dimension you want. You hid it whenever you wanted to.]

‘It's a dimensional map planted by Parvasse in my head, and a hidden magic that hides the channel! ’

[Can you control the channel with that? You were both mistaken. You thought the Dimension Map could be used to guide the Channel's destination, and the Hidden Magic to hide the Channel. Magic is right. But that magic didn't have any real effect on the channel. It's your will to control the channel. It's connected to your intended dimension because you wanted to. I hid it so no one else would notice because you wanted to.]

‘· · · That wasn't my magic effect? ’

[They were both mistaken. Now do it. Think of it as wanting to move. Without a dimensional map, you don't have to memorize coordinates. Think of the place you want to be.]

I did that.

Then I heard Jeremy scream.

“The channel is gone again! ”

Are we hiding it again?

I knew it wasn't.

* * *

“· · oh? ”

Mybi, who was preparing for the final blow to the floor, hardened his body.

And the moment he contemplated death, he was embarrassed, discovering that the power that oppressed him had vanished like a lie.

“What is this? ”

Maivy felt this side of his body.

‘Part of the organ has been pushed! ’

There was a sudden appearance of foreign matter in the form of a disc more than 10 meters in diameter. Compared to the body of a huge pioneer, it was only a small sneeze. The phenomenon itself did not have a major impact on the body of the pioneer.

But the fact that it suddenly appeared in the body itself made Miabi disappear. Teleporting foreign matter to the body, protected by all kinds of magic and technology, was impossible in any way!

“Ah! ”

A moaning sound resembles that of a remodeled floor. The two pioneers simultaneously saw a strange scene.

A blue light leaked from the gap between Mybie's eyelids and her eyes. His tentacles are filled with rays from the glands and holes. It was like an animal that swallowed up a light source that he couldn't bear. Mybie rolls her eyes, chasing a mist of light around her.

The light had a color, shade, and presence that could not exist in the natural world. The two of them soon noticed the identity.

The floor sighs.

“Channels?! ”

I didn't know English.

‘Why is the light of the channel in his body? ’

And · · ·! All the space was shaken.

“Arghhhhhhhh!”

The tentacles of a pioneer as big as a mountain begin to shake like crazy. The floor rushes to take care of Parvash's body and flee. I gave away my power while I was on the run, preventing my soul from escaping.

The young pioneer looks at Maibi with his eyes turned while keeping his distance.

“Stop that! What the hell! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ”

A desperate scream. A bronze bubble flows out of Myby's eyes. Tentacles twist and twist.

“It's small, but it's too much! ”

Maivy didn't know exactly what they were, but there was a parasitic ant pouring out of his body like a waterfall.

An ant summoned on Yoon Min-jun's body was just given complex and difficult instructions to make up the human body, but the instructions given by the queen to the summoned ants were very simple. "Build an ant den. ’

The way ants were made was clearly and accurately entered into the ants' genes. The ants immediately bit and punctured the pioneer's blood vessels and organs. It encroached, tore, and carved from the inside.

The work of the ants was nothing more than mere destruction. After disassembling the body, the ant's body was held in place. Pioneer's nerves and blood vessels are connected to the ant's body.

“Oh, no, stop! ”

I wanted to purify my body by magic, but I didn't hesitate. The place where the ants were summoned was the site where the most essential organ for the pioneer was located. Nearby, where human beings gather similar organs to the brain.

The body of the pioneer Maibi was gradually transforming into a life-sustaining state.
