Start A New Game

“An orphan.

“… What? ”

“I was wondering the same thing. So I asked the Royal Society for some information, and they found nothing. There's no birth records, but 12 years from now, I've just applied to be admitted to Lezec's orphanage. ”

Bazco folds his arms, putting down the ink pen he was holding.

It was his habit to do something suspicious when it was discovered.

“But you became a wizard? ”

“Yes. I don't know where the money came from, but they paid for school, and it's 100 gold. And even though it's small in Dehan, it has a house.”

“Hmm...”

Bazco closes his eyes and thinks.

Even if Dehan's house is small, at least 300 gold will go out if he owns it. Plus up to 100 gold tuition fees for the school. You can't get that kind of money in the slums of Zec.

Of course, you can't steal that kind of money.

Even though I thought there might be supporters, I knew that no matter how talented they were, there could be 400 gold supporters to support them.

Sponsors support wizards because they have talented but penniless wizards who benefit society, and never for any great reason.

“ … ”

Bazco frowns, his eyes closed.

The knight watches her act like a goldfish.

* * *

The same view Bazco received from his subordinate.

“Nighttime exploration... How annoying. ”

As he was climbing up the dark mountain foothills, he was annoyed and leaned against the tree.

The day after tomorrow is the second advancement, so today is a night quest.

Once you search at night, your lifestyle breaks. Then, of course, the second advance will be difficult for the ship.

In addition, night exploration is a behavior that is only active at night, so it seeks out and kills monsters that are more powerful and difficult than monsters that are active during the day.

Even though it was just the two of us with Cullen, she felt it was a bit unfair and annoying.

Kurlin smiles as if he's cute, gazing at him as he breathes back into the tree.

“Can I give you another ride? ”

“No, not yet. By the way, where am I? ”

Zahan glances around. Light magic floats around and illuminates.

The grass and trees that boasted their colors in the light had strangely black light.

Zahan had some idea what this was.

I once finished a game as an adventurer. But I didn't know exactly where this place was.

It's been a very long time.

It is also vague and the time in the game continues to flow even when the game is not playing. A lot may have changed since then.

“I... I don't know where...”

“What, did that gut thing go away? ”

“Yes, I borrowed it for a day. ”

“Oh, we don't have time for that. ”

Sahan pressed his temples tightly and told Cullen.

“Hey, let's just go back. ”

“.. Yes? Already?”

Cullen opens his eyes, surprised to hear what he has to say.

A man named Zahan always told me to go to the end when he asked me to go back.

Especially when you haven't caught any monsters like now.

“This is a little dangerous. It's the black forest.”

"Yes? What is it?"

Sahan wiped away the cold sweat that flowed on his forehead.

This is the Black Forest.

The Black Forest was a common, but extremely annoying place in the mountains of the continent.

Especially for newcomer wizards.

On the other hand, a forest full of these black plants sucks the wizard's Mana.

However, until now, Sadhan has only ignored Sadhan because it has a faster recovery rate because of its marginal effect of Magic Power of 10. But now it is different.

Either you're at the center of the forest or Mana's getting out pretty fast.

At this rate, almost half the Mana will disappear in just two or three hours.

“Come down quickly. ”

Sahan moves quickly.

Curlin rushes to catch up with him.

After walking for a long time, when the green grass appeared, I sighed of relief and began to exhale.

“Phew... Phew...”

“But, sir, what's the big deal? ”

Cullen was unable to continue speaking. No, it's because the shape of the forest is strange.

I just went back the way I came. Trees are strangely tall all around.

I've never seen anything like it.

“... What is this? Brother, what is this? Where am I?”

Mysterious sights. At that moment, the creepy Cullen reflects and starts shaking his gaze.

“Oh, shit. What. What?? … Hmm?”

Sahan, who was exhaling, looked around. It's definitely weird.

“Er... what is it? Now, wait a minute. You'll find out if you use Guiding Magic. ”

But Saehan cast his guiding magic without any worries.

It is magic that teaches you the way you've come so far with Mana Flow. With this, you can at least not get lost.

However, unlike her intentions, the Guiding Magic just keeps going in the same direction.

“What is this? Is it broken? ”

“… Ah. This can't be it.”

Sahan looked up at the sky with a sudden thought of grabbing his head.

Everywhere in the world, there are no ordinary stars. And there's no moon. Black skies all over.

“That's right.”

Sahan confirms that and nods.

“.. which is correct. Are you going to tell me alone?”

“It's like the Black Forest did magic. ”

Sahan has been through this a few times while playing games.

Most people think of the 'forest’ as a ‘collection of unintelligent plants’, but the reality of the black forest is different.

The ‘Black Forest’ was like a ‘life’ with the intelligence to suck people or monsters' mana.

Black forests with such intelligence sometimes do this cute thing if they like Manat who is sucked into the target.

And the quality of Mana in Sahan is the best on the continent. Of course Black Forest would have liked it.

If the forest has found its favorite Mana, like now, it will cast a 'magic’ using the sucking Mana.

It is called "boundary magic."

The forest casts an unusable kind of magic that separates the body and its surroundings into a space completely different from the world.

And the Black Forest, which has cast boundary magic, hopes that wizards with excellent mana will wander through the boundaries and come back to their realm.

“... what are you talking about? The forest is using some kind of magic. ”

But Cullen, who didn't know the English language, frowned as if he didn't understand it at all.

“Yes, there is. Just wait a little longer and we'll figure it out. ”

This magic has no answer but to wait. We have to burn or wait for the entire forest, because electrons are almost impossible.

“What, how long do I have to wait? ”

Cullen keeps asking. Sahan was sick and tired, so he settled down in the grass.

“I don't know, four or five hours. ”

“... what the hell. ”

Cullen glances at him, speaking irresponsibly and squatting in the grass, and sits next to him.

But I sit together more than I need to.

The puzzled sadness breaks free, but Cullen reaches back together again.

“What are you doing? ”

“Yes? What? ”

“No...”

Sakhan tries to say something, but it is the face of Cullen.

She didn't know what to say to the face that she didn't have anything to say, so she quit.

She wondered if it was because of her traits. At that moment, she was curious about the progress of her traits and looked at the portrait information window.

Characteristic- 1. Strange Atmosphere (Grade D) [Growth Form -88.81%] Passive

- Charm +2.

- Your strange atmosphere affects the people around you.

“Oh? ”

Zahan surprisingly expressed his admiration for his very high progress.

Normally, growth type characteristics often stagnate from grade D to severe by year, but strangely many rise.

“Why?”

Curlin wonders, leaning on his shoulder and staring at him.

She turns her head toward you, feeling the weight on her shoulders, and her eyes gleam with gleaming curls.

“... What are you doing? ”

“Why? ”

“.. why? ”

A culine who rubs his face against his shoulders and gives his identity a charm.

But she didn't push her away, she just looked up at the sky. It doesn't feel bad to have a quiet smile on your face. No, it looks really good.

A beautiful woman is leaning on her shoulders, and any man would say yes.

The two of them spent time talking nonsense.

I don't know how many minutes I've been sitting there, or how many stories I've run out of, but I don't see any loose ends.

“Ahhhh!”

She yawned at me to tear her mouth.

Then a sudden thought made me crazy anxious.

But if you don't do this right, you're gonna get away. ’

Monster Punitive Force. Although it is a temporary army, it is also a military.

The return time for night exploration is 5: 00 a.m.

It's been a long time since I left at 12: 00, so it should be 5: 00 in the morning soon.

Sahan glances at Kurlin, who is still leaning on his shoulder.

I close my eyes with a quiet smile on my mouth.

‘He's at peace. ’

Curlin looks happy for some reason. She closed her eyes without saying anything.

With my eyes closed, my whole body grows tired. I feel a good breeze.

Saehan felt his consciousness gradually fading.

* * *

Bright sunshine clouds my eyes.

He turned around a few times in the sun and eventually opened his eyes.

“.. what the hell. ”

I tried to get up, but my body wouldn't move. Something heavy is pressing down on you.

I looked at the side where I felt the weight of the ambiguity.

Curlin slashes his face with a pillow over his shoulder and grabs his waist with both hands.

It's like sleeping with a murderer.

“ … ”

Sadhan struggles to solve it, but it's hard.

The power of sleep is stronger than that of Curlin.

Shaking her head, Sahan began to wake her up.

“Hey, wake up! We have to go! ”

“Uh-huh."

But the more she did, the stronger she hugged him.

“Oh, shit! Wake up!”

Poor thing woke her up for a while, struggling, screaming, doing all kinds of things to the stars.

However, his body began to slow down in the warm sunlight.

I wonder if fatigue has accumulated in the meantime, I'm getting tired and everything is bothering me.

“Ahem... Yeah, well... I wonder what could have happened. ”

After everything that had been bothered me, I closed my eyes again, resting in the bush.

Just one more today. Sorry. Sorry.
