Changes in the future due to my little actions.
However, I never thought that Lee Seo-joon would bring such a big change that he would not even appear at all.
Suddenly, I had this thought.
Could this be the cause of Lee Seo-joon’s death before returning?
Before returning, I lived as quietly as possible, fearing the same changes as now. However, unless I was hiding in a corner of the house, my trivial actions would have had an impact on someone. And
the person affected by it would have influenced another person.
Could that influence have not touched the main story at all over the course of seven years?
I think it’s unlikely
“Whoa.”
My head is complicated. Of course, there is no physical evidence. It’s heartbreaking anyway. However, I carefully guessed that this might have something to do with Lee Seo-joon’s death.
Thinking so, another worry arose.
Originally, I
ended up solving the ‘long runaway’ case that Lee Seo-joon should have solved. This wasn’t a minor change.
It was a big change that might have a profound impact on the future story.
How big is the butterfly effect from this?
I can’t even imagine.
“ha.”
‘Anyway, what should I do with this window?’
I looked at the red dragon’s soul in my hand.
When I carried
this window, which was taller than my height, to the dormitory, it caught my eye.
Perhaps, if students see it, rumors will spread quickly and Lee Seo-joon and others may find out that I am Kim Jin-woo.
If that happens, my actions to resolve Lee Seo-joon’s suspicions will be nothing.
Just then, the smart student notebook in my pocket rang an alarm.
[15,000,000 won of mine subjugation reward has been deposited.]
“Huh?”
Compensation has been deposited. I thought it would be deposited the next day because it was late, but it was processed much faster than I thought.
Even 15 million won.
I grinned when I saw it.
‘I have money, so should I just stay out?’
That seems like a good way too.
It would be much better than going back to the dormitory with such an eye-catching spear and getting embroiled in an annoying misunderstanding.
And since I have something to do in Seoul tomorrow anyway, I was able to save time.
“Okay, let’s stay out tonight.”
Seoul has a variety of accommodation facilities, including hotels and motels. This was no different from the real Seoul where I lived. However, there was one more special lodging facility in this world that did not exist in reality.
It is a wizard-only hotel.
A wizard-only hotel is a hotel that was created due to the possession of weapons used by wizards. This is because other accommodations normally used by the general public do not allow weapons to be carried.
“hello.”
When I arrived at the hotel, the front desk staff greeted me with a beautiful smile.
The hotel I arrived at was ‘Hotel Hansung’, a 5-star wizard hotel.
It was a luxury hotel belonging to the ‘Hansung Group’, one of the largest corporations in the world.
The Hansung Group
is a group with a fairly high weight in this world.
strength and power. and money.
This is because this organization with these three things has a lot of influence on Lee Seo-joon’s future activities.
“I will check your wizard qualifications.”
According to the staff, I handed over my license. The clerk checked the license and started explaining the hotel. What kind of rooms are available, when is checkout, and what is room service? The story continued.
The employee who had been explaining so suddenly
stood up from his seat. Then he bowed his head towards somewhere behind me.
Looking back, I saw a tall man in his thirties in a neat suit entering the hotel from the entrance.
Behind the man, many people who seemed to be secretaries and bodyguards were following.
‘…Han Se-jin.’
The man was Han Se-jin, the eldest son of Han Sung-ga, who is considered the number one next owner of Hansung Group.
And he was a person of interest who covets endless greed in the distant future
and eventually joins hands with Mine and turns into a villain.
“Come on, don’t worry about me and everyone do their jobs.”
Han Se-jin beckons to sit down with a benevolent smile.
However, behind that benevolent smile was a cruel nature.
“The agenda that the vice president said has been resolved.”
“great job. Oh, what about Seyeon? Did you say you’re joining us for dinner tomorrow
?”
“You have indicated your intention to participate.”
“Hmm, okay? It’s been a while since I saw my cute little brother’s face.”
Sejun Han, who was having a conversation with his secretary, looked at me as if he felt my gaze. So we looked at each other for about a second. However, he soon turned his gaze elsewhere as if he had lost interest.
When I opened the door, a luxurious room caught my eye.
After looking around the room moderately, I moved to the shower room. I turned on the water and washed my sweaty body. It feels like the fatigue accumulated throughout the day is washed away together.
After showering, I put on a robe and lay down on the bed.
I fell asleep, but there was still work to be done.
It was because he had not yet confirmed the message that came to his mind when he subdued Janghan.
[Unique attribute ‘Outsider’s Benefit’ activated.]
[Check the previous message record.]
[B-class villain ‘Janghan’ was successfully subdued.]
[Small changes in the story have been detected.]
[Causality rate increases by 0.2.]
[The achievement of ‘Subjugation of the First Mine’ has been achieved.]
[Your contribution to subjugation is 92%
.]
[Acquire 5300 points as a reward
.]
[The character ‘Jang Hyeon-su’ Pay attention.]
[Acquire 500 points as a reward.]
Numerous messages popped up in front of my eyes.
As expected, I got a lot of rewards because I intervened in the main story.
As I read it so slowly from the first line,
one part caught my eye.
“…The rate of causation?”
It was the first type of reward.
What is the causal rate? Is the causal rate I think correct?
[Rate of Causality]
— Acquired when solving important events in the main story. The amount of causality you can acquire increases as
your involvement and story change.
– You can use authority by consuming causality.
[Power]
Deus Ex Machina [Causality rate 100]
-You can achieve what you want.
???[Cause and effect 30]
— Unlocks when the causality rate exceeds 30.
???[Causality Rate 20]
— Unlocked when the Causality Rate exceeds 20.
???[causality rate 10]
— Unlocks when the causality rate exceeds 10.
Looking at the content, it seemed like a unit of currency that could be used to purchase something like points.
However, looking at the contents of the authority, it was a little different from what could be purchased with points.
‘You can achieve what you want?’
To what extent is it possible?
Could it be that if you want to become a god or something like that?
“……warrant.”
I don’t know what it is, but the ability called causality was something unusual.
And while everything else is locked, I can’t see the ‘Deus Ex Machina’, which is usually open, as
if telling me to aim for this.
As if it was a message from someone…
I suddenly had that thought.
Perhaps that power called ‘Deus Ex Machina’ is the only way to return me to the real world. thought that.
gulp.
I swallowed dry saliva.
‘……if.’
very if. If
Deus Ex Machina
is the only way to return me to my original world.
The direction I need to take in the future will change greatly.
I have to go through all the main stories to come in order to obtain the causal rate.
When I opened my eyes in the morning, numerous messages came to my mind.
[You have achieved ‘Little Hero’ achievement.]
[You will receive 5000 points as a reward.]
[2 million citizens will thank you for your courage.] [
You will receive 10000 points as a reward
.]
[Still face to face A number of characters you have not met are curious about you.]
[You will receive 3000 points as a reward.]
[A number of characters you have not yet encountered are wary of you.]
[You will receive 3000 points as a reward.]
Wow.”
When I woke up, I got 21,000 points.
It was the first change that occurred under the influence of yesterday’s Mine subjugation.
I grabbed the remote control and turned on the TV.
[Yesterday at around 9:30 PM, 30 minutes before the Han River Fireworks Festival, there was a runaway mine. A total of 9 citizens
died and 23 citizens were injured in the incident. The identity of Mine is ‘Janghan’, and three weeks ago, the Seoul Opera Company was conducting…]
The anchor was reporting on Janghan’s runaway yesterday. After a while, a CCTV video was attached, showing Jang Han running out of control and myself fighting against Jang Han.
[The wizard who subdued Jang Han turned out to be a C-class wizard, ‘Kim Jin-woo’. It was hard to believe that it was a C-class wizard, and he showed off his excellent magic ability
and subdued Mine alone. The Wizards Association reported that they were holding a meeting to adjust the grade of wizard Kim Jin-woo.]
“A grade adjustment meeting?”
Are you upgrading to class B?
Well, even before returning, I had received several B-class promotion offers.
Just in case it would affect the story, I rejected all of them and stayed in C grade.
But now that I’m going to intervene in the story, the B-class promotion is rather welcome. This is because
the higher the level of the wizard,
the higher the tax and other welfare benefits.
[…Magician Jin-Woo Kim was attracting great attention among some wizards yesterday by attacking the ‘hidden floor’ of the Tower of Proof before the subjugation of Majin Jang-Han.] The long, long
news has come to an end. I pressed the remote control to turn off the TV again.
“Whoa.”
With this, my other identity, the wizard
Kim Jin-woo, became known to the world.
Since it received a lot of attention at once, it may have been noticed by the world’s hidden villains.
In the actual original work, a demon who was saddened by Jang-han’s death harbored hatred for Lee Seo-joon and attacked it in a surprise attack.
“…I’ll have to be careful not to get double-status.”
As long as the name is known, Mine may follow me without my knowledge. If it’s just a B-class demon,
I’ll be able to notice it and get rid of it, but if a higher-class demon follows me, it becomes complicated in many ways.
“Should I just buy the trait?”
Come to think of it, I accumulated quite a bit of points by attacking the Mine Subjugation and the Tower of Proof.
It would be okay to purchase at least one characteristic in case of an unexpected crisis.
[Enter the point shop.]
[Use the search function.]
[Add ‘Attribute’ to the category.]
[This is the search result for ‘Detection’.]
►[Attribute] Flesh Detection (A)
► [Attribute] Sixth Sense Open (S)
► [Characteristic] God’s Eye (SS)
When you search for ‘sensation’, several characteristics are listed in front of you.
I looked around to see what was there, but I saw characteristics above S-class, such as opening the sixth sense and God’s eyes. But those are characteristics that I can’t overcome at the moment.
This is because characteristics of S rank or higher require at least 100,000 points.
“This is done.”
After all, I don’t have points, so this is the only feature I can buy.
I chose ‘Flesh Sensing’.
[Sensing Murder (A)]
Classification: Characteristic
Description: Detects murderous intent towards you.
[Continuous effect]
► Murder detection
Detects the intent to kill against you regardless of the opponent’s ability. It can detect
up to 500M distance.
Price: 50000
“..off”
O .
As an A-class characteristic, it is filthy expensive.
Now I have 50,500 points in my hand, so I have to steal almost all of them. However, the ability to sense flesh is a must-have for me right now. I couldn’t afford not to purchase.
‘Yes, let’s buy it.’
If you save points for no reason and get assassinated, the points and everything will be meaningless.
At the very least, if you have the flesh-sensing property, the chances of dying without knowing where you are will be greatly reduced.
And since I have to go through the main story in the future, I need it even more.
“Yes, because surviving is the most important thing.”
[Purchased Flesh Detection (A).]
It’s a waste of 50,000 points, but considering my survival, this is the best choice.
After checking out of the hotel, I went outside.
The cool breeze blowing gently made me feel good. I immediately took a taxi and moved for about 20 minutes.
The place I arrived was Gangnam in Seoul.
This place, where numerous large guilds and conglomerates were concentrated, was called the economic center of Korea.
I stood in front of a high-rise building between them.
At the entrance it was written:
[Hansung Pharmaceutical]
Hansung Pharmaceutical is one of the core affiliates of the conglomerate Hansung Group and is the world’s largest pharmaceutical company. It is no exaggeration to say that most of
the elixirs and potions used by wizards
are made here.
I had one purpose for coming here.
It was to sell the Sacred Herb obtained as a reward from the hidden floor yesterday.
Upon entering, I saw many people. I saw the image of magicians who came to trade medicinal materials, and I saw the image of researchers wearing white coats.
Then a man who appeared to be an employee approached me.
“hello. What did you come for?”
“I came to trade medicinal materials.”
“Oh, did you make an appointment for a meeting?”
“no.”
“Then what drug do you want to trade?”
“It’s a medicinal herb called Sinseongcho, but you probably don’t know.”
At my words, I felt the red disappear from the employee’s face.
“sorry. The appointment for today’s meeting is full. Are you okay with the appointment in three days?”
It seems that it has been concluded
that it is not an important transaction .
“It was obtained as a reward from this medicinal tower. Did you see the news? The hidden layer of the Tower of Proof has been captured. Fold that.”
“…Huh? Are you the one who subdued the demons of the Han River yesterday?”
