“Hmm……
It’s strange no matter how many times I see it.
It’s not that Kim Chang-hyun’s information is strange, it’s strange because it’s so ordinary than I thought.
There was a family that doesn’t exist now, but there was also a straight family called Seonhyeon, which is unfamiliar to me.
Of course, if you look at each one, it’s not an ordinary background.
First of all, the whole family died of mysterious fever.
However, considering the background of the characters in the original work
and the suspicious behavior Kim Chang-hyun showed me, this background felt normal.
“The Seonhyeon family…
what kind of family are you doing?
It wasn’t even mentioned in the original story.
I had no choice but to search for ‘Seonhyeon’s Family’ on the Internet.
[This is the search result for ‘
Seonhyeon Family’. ] A
surprisingly
large amount of information came out
.
Upon investigation, it is said that the Seonhyeon family was a family of scholars who studied mysteries and magic.
Unlike ‘Kim Seon-woo’, who was not in this world, the background is also full.
I suspected it might be a guy from another world like me, but it doesn’t seem to be the case
.
I rested my chin on one hand and tapped the sofa with my fingers.
In the mail, Kim Chang-hyun’s whereabouts were also written.
First of all, it is said that Kim Chang-hyeon had excellent magical talents since childhood.
Based on that outstanding talent, it was written that he entered the wizarding school at the top of his class, and also participated in the holy war festival in the first year, beating out prominent seniors and making a big difference.
And…
[After graduation – present: missing]
He is now missing.
Even in the Jeokam Guild, which is said to handle all the information in the world, not knowing whereabouts of Kim Chang-hyeon means that he is resolutely hiding somewhere.
“…I thought there might be some clues.”
Rather, it feels like being sucked into a labyrinth.
Nothing is guessed, and it seems to be related to something mysterious, but this
too is not certain.
“…Is it the answer to look for yourself?”
I put on my clothes and got up from my seat.
If you don’t know something, the best way is to find out for yourself.
The house where Kim Chang-hyun was born and lived.
Let’s go to the Seonhyeon family.
Following the map found on the Internet,
we arrived at the Seonhyeon family’s mansion.
It wasn’t that difficult to find because it was a family whose name had been known in the past.
This place was not uncommon in Paju, Gyeonggi-do.
I saw several houses around where people lived, and there was also a downtown area not too far from here.
I blankly looked up at the mansion.
It was a four-story house, which is hard to find in Korea.
The exterior of the building was also built in a Western style, giving it an antique feel.
However, looking at the moss and vines clinging to the outskirts, it seems that it has been a long time since it has not been maintained.
Well, it might have been natural since everyone in the Seonhyeon family except for Kim Chang-hyeon died.
Because Kim Chang-hyun also said that it had been 8 years since he had vacated this house.
I knocked on the front door.
Of course, there was no response. This time I opened the doorknob.
rattle.
also won’t open When the outsider’s benefit
was activated, the complicated magic formula caught on the doorknob caught my eye.
“Hmm…
I glanced around and confirmed that there was no one there, then injected magic power to fix the magic formula.
Unuuuu
…
‘ done!’
I sang joy in my heart and opened the door.
The inside of the mansion was full of dust.
Because it was an abandoned house, I felt an eerie atmosphere
.
I walked slowly and looked around.
The deeper I went into the mansion, the more I felt like I was in a family of scholars.
‘There is no such thing as research data.’
Judging by the traces of burnt paper on the floor, it seems that all of them have been burned or discarded.
Or, there is a possibility that Kim Chang-hyun took care of everything.
“……Ehh.”
After wandering around the mansion for about 20 minutes,
I stopped.
I searched every nook and cranny of the house, but couldn’t find anything that could be called a clue.
I swept the dusty sofa and sat down.
I thought I knew everything, but there are still so many things I don’t know about this world.
Excluding the ‘butterfly effect’ created simply by my intervention, there were many detailed settings that were not described.
I do not know whether
a setting that did not exist was created or a setting that existed was not described .
Is it natural that the novel is mainly portrayed by Lee Seo-joon?
“It sucks.”
It was at that time that I felt so sad and wanted to go out.
I stumbled upon a picture that caught my eye by accident.
It was a drawing of a round blue light.
I knew at a glance what the identity of that painting was.
It was a ‘mystery’ expressed in
pictures by ancient magicians and researchers .
Just in case, I activated the outsider’s benefit and looked at the painting.
“also.”
As expected, a magic device was hidden in the painting.
It is locked with a fairly complex magic formula, but with the benefit of an outsider, this much can be easily solved.
I injected my magic power and unlocked the lock on the frame.
Then the frame opened and a small space like a safe was created.
Apparently, this picture frame was a camouflage safe.
Looking inside the safe, there was a picture of a child.
Some familiar face.
He resembled Kim Chang-hyun.
And I instinctively realized. That this is a picture of Changhyun Kim when he was young.
After checking the photos here and there, I looked at the back and found the letters.
[There is only about a year left until the promised time
. I’ll come see you in a week. 2018/4/22]
“…what is this.”
I have no idea who wrote it or what it is saying.
What do you mean there’s only one year left?
No matter how much I think about it, the answer doesn’t come out. 2018 is 15 years ago.
First, the photos were stored inside the subspace.
Just in case,
I activated the outsider’s benefit and looked around, but I didn’t see any special enemies.
“…Shall we go back?”
A week of many questions has passed and a new week has begun.
I’ve been busy packing my things since early morning. The luggage was filled with food and other utensils.
The bag is small, but the luggage still goes in. This is because it is a top-notch sub-space bag
purchased with a large sum of 1 billion won .
Although I had the ability to subspace, I bought a new one because it was too narrow after putting in so many things.
Just as I was packing my things, Gretel approached me with one step in a dream as if she had just woken up.
It was a face that seemed to be going somewhere.
“I think I will have to vacate Gretel for a few days.”
Gretel’s expression turned gloomy for a moment. Maybe it’s because he’s been away from home so often lately, he seems more depressed than usual.
“Aye.”
Asking how much to empty, he looked at me.
“hmm. about a week? Oh, maybe two days for Gretel.”
Not understanding what I was saying, Gretel tilted her head.
It’s understandable that you don’t understand. The place I’m going today is the training room.
The training room has the mystery of ‘slowed-down time’, so a week’s time there is only two days outside. The reason I pack my things now
is because I have to live
in the training room for a week .
“Anyway, I’ll see you in two days, so don’t worry too much and wait patiently. Understand?”
“Aye.”
Gretel smiled and nodded. I picked Gretel up and patted her on the back.
Seeing your bright appearance puts my mind at ease.
“Then let’s go!”
I said goodbye to Gretel and came out.
The training room
is held in the ‘Tower of Proof’ that I have been to before.
Just as you entered the Hidden Stage of the Tower of Proof before, the hidden stage called ‘Training Room’ is hidden.
The training room ticket is a tower reward with a low probability, but it is often traded at a high price among wizards because it slows down time and allows you to focus on training.
Of course, it’s not that you can’t ask for money because you don’t have anything for sale.
“Here comes Kim Seon-woo.”
As I approached the tower of proof,
Lee Seo-joon waved his hand and greeted me.
Around him were the remaining members, Yua, Ra, Choi, Seoyoon, and Shin, Youngjun.
If there is a common feature, it is that they all carry one large bag.
“But how small is your bag?”
Shin Yeongjun looked at the bag on my back and asked.
“Oh this? It’s a subspace bag.”
At my answer, everyone except Lee Seo-joon’s eyes were stained red.
“and. A space bag That’s very expensive
. I heard that it is at least 100 million to use properly. Do you see how big this is? How much?”
“Uh… about 1 billion?”
“…mu what what?”
Shin Yeongjun opened his mouth. Might be a bit big for those who are still 19 years old.
“…Where did you get that much money?”
“It’s earned through stocks or rewards from dungeon ruins.”
He shrugged as if it was nothing.
After saying goodbye, we walked to the Tower of Proof.
When we arrived at the entrance of the tower, the association’s staff blocked our entry.
“uh? Are you Seojun Lee?”
As soon as the association’s staff saw Lee Seo-joon, they pretended to know. Then, he looked around us and showed a response that he knew who it was.
“hello.”
When Lee Seo-joon bowed his head, the employee made a questioning expression.
“Ah yes. Nice to meet you. But
what are the famous students of the Wizarding Academy doing here? You can’t enter the tower without professional wizard qualifications…
“I’m going to use the training room ticket.”
At Lee Seo-joon’s words, the employee ah. and opened his mouth.
“Come to think of it, I’ve been told before. Did you get a training room ticket as a school festival prize? haha.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
I stood quietly behind Lee Seo-joon, as if dead.
It was because
he was the employee who guarded the entrance when climbing the tower of proof under the identity of ‘Kim Jin-woo’ in the past .
Pretending to know something is embarrassing, so you should stay calm.
Then the employee’s eyes met mine.
The employee looked at me with red-miked eyes and opened his mouth.
“…uh?! if?!”
what. Did you know that I am Jinwoo Kim?
“Aren’t you a student of Seonwoo Kim?”
Hearing that, I let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, you don’t know me. Well,
when was it ever so, would you remember it until now after seeing your face once?
“Yes, I am Kim Seon-woo.”
“Yeah. I am personally a fan. It was really impressive to come up from the bottom.”
“Ah yes…
“But you have all the tickets, right?”
We each showed our tickets.
The staff who checked the tickets nodded and ushered us into the tower. I looked around
the space inside the tower, which I hadn’t seen in a long time
. There was a portal of blue light in a small space like back then.
“When entering the portal, you must insert 5 tickets into the portal at the same time. That way the tower’s will won’t reject it.”
We nodded and put five tickets in at the same time.
Then, a strong light covered our vision.
[You have entered the ‘Training Room’, the hidden floor of the Tower of Proof.]
[The Tower of Proof welcomes your revisit
.]
[Mysterious mana surrounds you.]
[‘Entering the Training Room’ Achievement has been achieved.]
[You will receive 5000 points as a reward.]
I heard the tower’s will in my head.
It was a voice I hadn’t heard in a long time.
Anyway, welcome back.
TOP seems to have noticed that the essence of ‘Kim Jin-woo’ and ‘Kim Seon-woo’ are the same.
“and. amazing.”
Standing next to me, Seoyoon Choi looked around and her eyes lit up. Yooara, a practice fanatic, also looked around with a bright face.
I wasn’t too different.
Feeling the wonder of mystery, I looked around.
A wide, white space.
Here you can only focus on training.
While I was enjoying it like that, Yua Ra approached me.
“Have you set your training goals? The training room experience told me to set a goal together.”
“.yes. I decided.”
At my answer, Yuara looked at me with a surprised expression.
“okay? What kind of training is it?”
It’s a pretty difficult practice.
It’s hard to say that even if it takes a week or five years, I can make it my own.
Still, I am a little confident because I have prepared something for this day.
