That I would never be prepared for death without ‘immortality’.
[Pico: I’m sorry, but I can’t tell you where Jin Chun-wu is.]
“..Hmm.”
Private cabins on sea trains.
I looked down at my smartphone and was lost in thought.
I asked Pico to find the missing Jin Chun-woo, but an unexpected answer came.
Even though I’ve asked for something ridiculous as an information fee, this is the first time I’ve ever refused.
[Me: Why not?]
[Pico: Because a cataclysm that the world cannot handle can happen!]
“Something grandiose. It doesn’t work anyway.”
Tsk.
A sigh came out. Just in case,
I asked a few other questions related to Jin Cheon-woo, but the same.
Pico avoided all answers related to Jin Chun-wu.
[Pico: You and Jin Chun-wu are at odds. I’m not talking about a simple difference in inclination, but they stand in perfect symmetry from the very beginning. You don’t know what will happen when the two meet.]
“…Yes. done. it’s okay.”
Judging from what he said, it seems that he will never tell me.
Eventually, I turned off my smartphone and stood up.
I looked at the time and it was 10:00 am. It’s time to eat soon
When I stood up like that, I found myself instinctively looking for a mask.
A moment of laughter came out.
“I didn’t have to wear it anymore…
I changed into a shapeless, loosely comfortable outfit and came out of the room.
As I walked down the hall toward the dining car, someone approached me with a familiar face.
“Seniors!”
It was Seoyoon Choi. The energy overflowing from early morning was just like seeing her in first grade.
“Are you going to a restaurant?”
“huh. yes.”
“oh. We can go together.”
She walked side by side with me.
On the way to the restaurant together.
Doing this brings back old memories.
Come to think of it, I ran into her often on the way to school.
“Oh. They said they arrived on land in three hours.”
“I heard you. When we arrive, we should go to the association right away.”
Choi Seo-yoon thought for a while and said.
“The world will be surprised, right?”
“Maybe it is. It’s not anyone else, but Jin Chun-wu is back, so the repercussions will be pretty big.”
The world’s worst wizard returns.
It is sure to have a huge impact enough to shake the world economy .
Because everyone knows his dangerous ambitions.
Then Seoyoon Choi shook her head.
“no. Not Jin Chun-woo, but senior.”
I looked at her and blinked.
“…me?”
“Everyone doesn’t know that senior is alive. Wouldn’t it be more shocking that you are alive than Jin Chun-wu’s resurrection?”
As she said, the fact that I am alive will have quite a big impact
.
king of magic. And after the Croas incident, the character ‘Kim Seon-woo’ must have been greatly imprinted.
When I didn’t answer, Choi Seo-yoon stared at me and then continued.
“Are you sure you’re not going to reveal that you’re alive?”
“no. That’s not right.”
I don’t have to hide my identity anymore, so I’m thinking of promoting as ‘Kim Seon-woo’ like before.
If it turns out I’m alive, I’ll get a lot of points
. can’t give it up
“Well, there is no need to hide it anymore. I should come back as Kim Seon-woo.”
At those words, Seoyoon Choi smiled brightly.
Soon we arrived at the dining room. As we entered, we heard a lively voice directed at us.
“Kim Seon-woo! Here!”
Lee Seo-joon is sitting in front of the table and waving his hand loudly.
I smiled and approached them.
Returning to the land, I was able to meet Kim Jin-cheol, accompanied by Choi Il-hyeon and Lee Seo-jun.
I wasn’t very surprised, as if I had expected that I was still alive, but when I heard the explanation about what had happened on the island of the dead, my expression gradually hardened.
“…Jin Cheonwoo from another world. The worst has happened.”
With a special order from the president, the Wizards Association
went into a state of emergency.
Considering the ambitions of Jin Chun-wu, what dangers could befall the world? Also, it is not known how many people will die.
The association soon began preparing to find traces of Jin Cheon-woo.
In line with this, it was announced that the return of Jin Cheon-woo and Kim Seon-woo would be announced at the same time to reduce confusion among citizens.
…and the next day.
“The world’s worst wizard, ‘Jin Chun-woo’. He is back.」
The news of Jin Chun-wu’s return spread quickly.
As expected, the world plunged into a state of great panic.
「The identity of the ghost of the leader of 801… He was Kim Seon-woo, the king of demons who was chasing Zaun.j
And an article about me also came up.
In terms of the explosive power of the reaction,
it was not inferior to Jin Chun-wu’s resurrection.
Since then, various opinions have been exchanged among citizens.
Opinions that he should be vigilant because he is the king of demons and opinions that he is the hero of mankind who defeated Croas clashed, and heated discussions arose at various broadcasting stations.
Well, it wasn’t that important to me.
[People around the world are shocked by your appearance.]
[Acquire 30000 points as a reward.]
[Achieve the achievement ‘Return of a Hero’.]
[Acquire 5000 points as a reward.]
[Big changes in the future. has been detected.]
[The causality rate increases by 3.]
Thanks to that, I got a lot of points and a causal rate.
“…In the end, Jin Chun-wu was resurrected.
That’s Jincheonwoo from another dimension. I didn’t expect it at all.”
Hansung Group Chairman’s Office.
While checking the newly obtained reward, Han Se-yeon’s voice was heard from the other side.
I put away the message in front of my eyes and smiled bitterly.
“It’s my fault. I should have been more conscious of Kim Chang-hyun’s existence. I was careless.”
At the words of self-blame, Han Se-yeon shook her head.
“It’s not Seonwoo’s fault. You did your best to stop Zaun.”
She said to me as if comforting.
I didn’t say it because I wanted to be comforted.
The atmosphere just got weird.
“Hmmmm.”
After coughing for a while, he said.
“I can prepare well in the future and prevent it. Now that you know his identity, you should be able to deal with it.”
Even if we don’t find him, Jin Chun-wu will move first to ‘recover’.
If you follow the trail, you will find him.
Just as I was thinking about it, I felt a hard feeling under my feet.
It was Gretel, who was playing alone.
I smiled like a father and lifted Gretel up.
“Thanks to Gretel, I lived and died again.”
“Hmm?”
At my words, Gretel tilted her head.
Seeing that, I felt mischievous and tickled his hard side. But Gretel only looked down at me with expressionless eyes.
…I’m still not tickled.
“I’m still glad.”
At Han Se-yeon’s sudden words, I put Gretel down while looking at her.
“What?”
“You can reunite with your friends, right?”
“…ah.”
I laughed lightly.
“A lot of the stuffy things have disappeared.”
Han Se-yeon kept her mouth shut for a moment. He looked at me with pensive eyes and
smiled.
“I won’t be lonely anymore.”
“no. You weren’t particularly lonely, were you?”
Han Se-yeon made a suspicious expression. I said with a smile.
“Seyeon has been my companion. I am always grateful.”
For a moment, Han Se-yeon’s expression went blank.
Soon, I felt ashamed, and my face turned a little red.
I was embarrassed for nothing, so I hurriedly continued.
“Oh. There is something I want to ask you about Jin Cheon-woo.”
“…ah. yes. Please speak.”
When Jin Chun-wu’s name came up, she suddenly came to her senses.
“As I said, Chen Chun-wu can use all minor clan abilities. I need detailed information about what abilities they have.”
I personally investigated it, but there was a limit to discovering all the abilities of the minority clan.
This is because
they lacked information due to their strong closed tendency to avoid contact with the outside world .
There is also a way to use pico, but this is the last resort because it costs information.
“Minority clan… Yes, I’ll look into it. It’s not difficult information, but it should be easy to find.”
I nodded my head at Seyeon Han’s words. Also always good
Just then, an alarm rang on the smartphone.
I wanted something, so I checked right away and there was a message from Choi Seo-yoon.
[Choi Seo-yoon: Senior, do you have time on Friday evening??]
…Friday evening?
There is time. I’m not busy for the time being.
[Me: I have time, but why?]
I waited for a reply with the read mark popping up, but there was no reply for over a minute.
“Are you my friend?”
I nodded my head at Seyeon Han’s words.
“Ah yes… that’s right.”
And after about two minutes, a reply came.
[Choi Seo-yoon: I was thinking of having a meal together. I know a good restaurant near the association, so I’ll buy it for you!]
I laughed out loud.
When I said something, it was a common ‘Let’s have a meal’. was
Come to think of it, there was something I forgot to give her.
Snow Mountain Great Spirit’s blessing.
It was an item that increased all stats by up to 40% according to the ice property control technique.
It was of little use to me who didn’t deal with the ice attribute, but I can give it to you at this point.
[Me: Okay, let’s eat]
[Choi Seo-yoon: Then, is it okay to drink?]
The message that came back then made me dazed for a moment.
…alcohol?
Come to think of it, these guys are old enough to drink.
Choi Seoyoon is also 22 years old this year.
[Me: I don’t care, are you drinking well’?]
The read message popped up, but again there was no reply for over a minute.
I was about to turn off the screen because I was busy, but a message
came.
[Choi Seo-yoon: I don’t know because I’ve never drank it…]
“…… Huh?”
[Me: Aren’t you 22?]
[Choi Seo-yoon: I was going to drink it on a special day…]
With that said, I have nothing to say.
[Me: Yes. learn slowly See you then.]
After replying like that, I turned off my smartphone.
When I raised my head, Han Se-yeon was staring at me.
“What does your friend say?”
“Oh, he says let’s have a drink on Friday.”
“It’s Friday? Ah…
Han Se-yeon showed a moment of regret
.
“What’s going on?”
“no. I was free that day, so I was thinking of having a drink with Seonwoo.”
Then, he hurriedly waved his hand.
“ah! I don’t have to care. I reunited with my friends, but we should all get together and solve the problem.”
“no. It’s not that grand. We only meet one person.”
At my words, Han Se-yeon tilted her head.
“…One? Who are you?”
“I’m Choi Seo-yoon.”
He replied with a smile without hesitation.
And in that brief moment, Han Se-yeon’s expression hardened for a moment.
A space draped with deep darkness and mysterious energy.
“…Geugh.”
With a small moan, bloody magical energy spread out.
Numerous spells were drawn on the floor, and on top of them lay a man with an unrecognizable, hideous figure.
“…Oh God.”
The man’s true identity is Jin Cheon-wu, who is said to be the world’s worst wizard.
He was barely able to get out of the island of death with the effect of ‘Blessing of Resurrection’, but he was suffering from aftereffects due to the magical explosion that Kim Seon-woo exploded.
Kneeling in front of him, Berthe looked at the situation and felt embarrassed.
Despite using all mysteries, Jin Cheon-wu’s
body showed no sign of recovery.
“Oh God. We have obtained a blood tree with a regenerative effect. For now, even this…
“…It’s useless.”
Jin Chun-wu used his magical power to shake off the mysterious blood from Berthe’s hand.
“This is not a matter of the body. The soul is contaminated…
Jin Cheon-wu gritted his teeth. A magic bomb caused by chaos.
As he said, the magic of the curse was contained within the explosion magic.
And Jin Cheon-wu, who possessed a lot of magical knowledge, was able to know the identity of the magic.
It was the ancient demon’s curse.
Chaos, who became the king of demons, was able to handle that ancient magic.
“…no mystery is meaningless unless the spell is solved.”
“If it’s magic…?”
He answered Berthe’s question.
“We need to find the demon shaman. As soon as possible.” Jin Cheon-woo
recalled
the face of the chaos ‘Kim Seon-woo’ .
The relaxed and confident smile he showed toward himself.
For the first time in his life, he felt the emotion of fear. Even his teacher, Kim Jin-cheol, did not feel this way.
The words he said kept playing in my head.
—Be sure to find it inside and kill it. That is before you fully recover.
It wasn’t just words to intimidate. He will definitely find me…
A comprehensive magic training ground not too far from the wizard association.
“I was here.”
“Kim Seon-woo.”
At my call, Lee Seo-joon stopped training and turned his gaze to me.
Sweat beaded on my forehead. I felt a little tired, probably because I had been so focused on training. He
came over to me,
wiping his sweat with a towel and smiling .
“Wasn’t it difficult to come? You have a body that attracts attention from all over the world.”
I smiled and gently lifted my hat.
“No one recognized me because I was wearing a hat? And I didn’t go around bare-faced in the first place.”
“but. It is. So why did you ask to see me here today?”
“It’s not a big deal, it’s been a while since I thought your training would take care of me.”
As I shrugged my shoulders and said it, Lee Seo-joon blinked.
I turned my gaze to the ‘Baekcheon’ in his hand.
“It seems like you’re not used to that sword yet.”
As time passed, Lee Seo-joon became much stronger, but he was still unable to fully develop the power of ‘Baekcheon’.
I found him today to help with just that.
Now, only the final showdown with Jin Chun-wu remains. Because I have to bring his strength to its maximum level as soon as possible.
Lee Seo-jun belatedly understood my words and let out a small laugh.
“right. this sword. Did you give it to me?”
confident words. I laughed lightly.
“what. I guess you noticed.”
“It’s strange that you don’t notice. Does it make sense to give out an SS grade sword as an event?”
Lee Seo-joon was bewitched by a laugh as if it was absurd even when he thought about it again.
I stretched lightly while watching him.
“Anyway, do you have any stamina left to train? You have to be much stronger than you are now to deal with Jin Chun-wu.”
At those words, Lee Seo-joon kept his mouth shut and put on a bitter expression.
“…I have some stamina left, but I don’t know if it’s meaningful for me to become stronger.”
At Lee Seo-joon’s sudden words, I looked at him.
Always full of courage, he was saying something out of place.
Lee Seo-joon, who was looking at me, continued.
“I was wondering if I was clumsily interfering and something worse could happen. As you know, I am what Jin Chun-wu is aiming for
.”
” ah.”
When he asked what he was worried about, it seemed that he was concerned about the worst that would happen to him.
that’s not wrong
As he said, it might be a safer way to exclude Lee Seo-joon from the operation to subjugate Jin Cheon-wu.
but.
“No, your strength is absolutely necessary to subdue Jin Cheon-wu.”
I know.
After the subjugation of Jin Chun-wu, he needs his strength to finish it off completely.
Although this was dealt with in the original work, I also knew that it was not a fictitious story created by Jin Chun-wu.
At my words, Lee Seo-joon made a suspicious expression.
“Jin Chun-wu is a meticulous guy. He prepared for his resurrection in anticipation of his own death, and he actually made it a success.”
