The Birth of the 9th Circle Wizard

The wedding was modest.

It was originally planned to be grand, but it was decided when the invitations soared to billions of tickets to attend, from presidents around the world to politicians, journalists and wizards.

“The two became a couple at this time.”

Team leader Kim Soo-young served as the officiant.

Soon-won's parents and relatives who attended on behalf of Ji-hee's deceased parents took wedding photos and started eating.

“Wow, is this really an island near Hawaii?”

Ji-hee's relatives looked around in surprise. He rented an entire island near Hawaii for a quiet wedding.

There are very few wizards who can teleport, so ordinary people may not even know that such a place exists.

Even though we definitely crossed the portal together

It was hard to believe that the flag was not Korean.

“I will enjoy this luxury in my life.”

Dishes prepared by the world's best chefs are starting to arrive.

At first, I was going to invite them to the island and have them cook for me, but I thought the people in attendance would feel uncomfortable, so they were airlifted from the local area.

“Sooyoung Kim, please sit down too. We eat together.”

"Yes."

The weather was very nice.

The weather is neither cold nor hot.

All thanks to weather control satellites controlling the optimum temperature and humidity.

“Where are you going on your honeymoon?”

“It’s a honeymoon… .”

After chasing Kunlun, traveling through various dimensions, I was not very interested in traveling.

It was the same for Jihee.

“How about a vacation?”

“A vacation?”

“It’s like having a good rest in a hotel. There is a swimming pool and a game room. dare

You can get a good rest without going outside.

“That’s fine.”

The honeymoon was decided.

At first, I was going to a hotel in Korea, but I was afraid that too many people would recognize the two, so I decided to go to Switzerland.

‘I wasn’t planning on going abroad.’

Come to think of it, thanks to teleports and portals, even if I went abroad, I did not feel like I was overseas.

It feels exotic, but the process of getting to the airport and getting on a plane is the same.

Because both are omitted.

"sister."

"Huh?"

Her older sister Jeong Seon-hee, who was feeding the baby across from her, looked at Soon-won.

“I’ve been busy, so I haven’t been able to see my nephew’s face. How are you growing up without any pain?”

“Then, I already started teaching early to be smart like my uncle.”

"okay? Education will cost a lot of money.”

“What is that… .”

Soon-won made a direct account transfer through AR Glass. With the sound of Myeongdong

Jeong Seon-hee's hands trembled when she checked the amount of her account transfer.

“How many zeros? one. two. three. four. Wait a minute! 5 billion?”“If it’s not enough, can I give you more?”

“Oh no… .”

People's mouths were wide open.

Especially in the case of my brother-in-law, a smile caught my ear.

“I won’t take this.”

5 billion returned to the account.

People were surprised at Jeong Seon-hee's words and looked at her. So did Soon-won.

"Huh? Why?"

“Thanks to you, the basic income system in Korea started, I am not lacking. My husband, I, and my baby get 15 million won every month.”

Each person receives 5 million won per month from the government. That was the basic income system started in Korea under the leadership of Soon-won.

“Hey, honey. I will even refuse the money you give me.”

My brother-in-law wants to buy a luxury sports car, even though he is living without lack.

I looked into Jeong Seon-hee's eyes.

Immediately her back smashing flew away.

Whoops-! puck!

“Being a brother-in-law, you don’t think about giving your brother-in-law’s pocket money, but rather taking it!”

“Come on, wait! My brother-in-law's fortune is over 1,250 trillion won. What can I do? .”

Soon-won's immovable world's largest wealthy man, the gap with second place was over 18 times. This too is investing a huge amount of money in the basic income system of Korea, otherwise there would have been several times more money.

“Really, a car that my brother-in-law wants to own. I sent it as a gift. When I get home later, I will be at the parking lot.”

"what? really? I love you brother-in-law!”

Jeong Seon-hee grabbed her brother-in-law again and hit him on the back as he rushed to kiss her.

The brother-in-law smiled bashfully and took out 50,000 won from his wallet and handed it to Soon-won, saying it was pocket money.

"thank you. I’ll spend my pocket money well.”

Soon-won laughed and everyone laughed. The laughter leaves the island for a while

didn't have

Time passed quickly.

Jihee became pregnant and gave birth to a child. she was a daughter She named her Jeong Se-yeon.

Stabilize the world situation through childcare Soon-won was very busy, and SW Company completed the human immortality project and started selling it to people at a low price.

[The technology of implanting a human brain into a robot body begins!]

[Is this okay with human ethics?]

[Religious groups protest!]

[Eternal life. What is your choice?]

There was an uproar in the news.

The media around the world covered it extensively. Many people applied for immortalization surgery, but on the contrary, there were many who felt rejected.

Less than 1% of the population applied for surgery.

“Well, of course.”

Catherine wasn't expecting much either, so she sat with her feet up on her desk and leaned leisurely, looking at the TV.

“You will not be interested until people start dying from mana pneumonia.”

She was right.

What do you do if you get hacked after entering the body of a robot? Starting with what to do if it breaks down, I am reluctant to upload a mind to the supercomputer, saying that I am dying as a living being and that only a copy of my consciousness is passed on.

There were many people who felt

However, two years later, Mana Pneumonia broke out, and the general public, including wizards, began to die, and only then did the number of people applying for it explode.

It was when the number of people who died from mana pneumonia exceeded 100 million when it reached 30% and 70% of the population beyond 10%.

“Our baby… .”

A shadow fell on Jihee's face.

Soon-won and Ji-hee's daughter, Jeong Se-yeon, also don't know if they have to undergo surgery when 90% of the population has abandoned their human body.

He was in a dilemma of what to do.

He was avoiding mana pneumonia under the care of Soon-won and Ji-hee, who were in the 9th circle, but he could not be raised in a building like this for the rest of his life.

"honey."

Soon-won called Ji-hee.

"Huh?"

“Let’s have Seyeon do the surgery.”

“What if… .”

We had to choose between moving the brain to the robot's body or moving the brain data itself to the cloud.

“ said Catherine. Anyway, the robot

Even those who have moved their brains in their bodies will soon be moving their brain data to the cloud.”

Gates where monsters appear from all over the world continue to appear.

Even if it enters the body of a robot, if it is mistakenly caught by a monster, it will be attacked even to the part where the brain is inserted and will die.

In fact, there were quite a few such cases.

The same is true for car accidents and plane crashes.

“I wanted to see the process of growing up.”

My daughter Jeong Se-yeon is now 3 years old.

She starts babbling and crawling and walking

She started growing old and she is now able to speak her language quite a bit.

It was not an easy choice for her to let such a child throw away her body as a living creature.

“Is it really a continuum of consciousness?”

In the end, Seyeon went up to the lab.

If she can't get to the level of the 9th circle like Soon-won or Ji-hee, she deserves surgery.

Catherine, Eullivia, Soon-won's parents and relatives, and team leader Su-young Su-yeong have all undergone surgery.

finished

"Yeah, you've been reviewing the relevant material many times."

"Yes."

If you transfer the brain data of an anesthetized person to a computer and kill the body, the person dies and another cloned self lives forever.

However, if the brain data is moved to the computer without putting the person to sleep, and if the brain data is deleted one by one as it is moved, it will take a long time, but since the mind is transferred to the computer while the mind is awake, the consciousness is moved, not copied and deleted.

“I can’t do it because I’m worried that only Se-yeon has surgery. I'll do the surgery first. And when it's confirmed that it's safe, I'll let Seyeon do it."

“Hey Jihee. Do you know what that means?”

“Yeah, I know. You're giving up the 9th Circle Wizard."

Her mother was strong.

Ji-hee's heart and the 18 mana rings in her dungeon make her exist as a 9th circle mage.

Abandoning that body and transferring her consciousness to a computer is now an ordinary person.

meant to be

‘Well, as a living thing, you can’t live forever.’

Soon-won also has to move someday.

After reaching the ninth circle, his body has changed significantly, and he has endless stamina and mana, but that does not mean that he is given eternal life.

As there are still only two 9th circle wizards in the world, there are not enough specimens, so I don't know how old I may be, but it's only natural that I will die someday.

“Yeah, I’ll be watching. Don't worry, get surgery."

Soon-won allowed.

Ji-hee underwent surgery, and her consciousness went into the computer and soon passed into her Android body.

"Ah… .”

Jihee tried to move her new body.Outwardly, it was exactly the same as the existing body. However, if you look inside, it is not a body made of bones, muscles, blood and flesh, but a robot body made of artificial skin on a titanium skeleton.

"how?"

“I just blinked and went to the bed next to me.

I feel like I'm over It was as if he had done a blink or a teleport.”

Ji-hee got up from the bed and saw her body sleeping in the bed next to her.

When I looked in the mirror, every single piece of hair was the same.

“Let’s have Se-yeon undergo surgery too.”

Ji-hee, who thought it was safe, made a decision. Daughter Se-yeon also went into surgery right away, and she passed on to the same android body.

“Originally, until the age of 20, infants and adolescents transition to a grown body every year, but our baby grows every month.

I'll make it move."

“Then I can’t ask for more.”

Because I want to see the process of growing up in more detail. Ji-hee hugged Se-yeon tightly in her arms.

"mom! dad!"

“Yes, Seyeon-ah.”

Soon-won hugged Ji-hee and Se-yeon tightly.

* * *

10 years have passed.

7 billion people. Among them, 96% of mankind uploaded their minds.

People who threw away their bodies because they were afraid of mana pneumonia, but refused that even their brains could become robots, had no choice but to upload their minds in the end because of the frequent appearance of monsters.

There were also voices of concern.

This is because, if the super artificial intelligence GPT-4 8, which manages the mind-uploaded human data, has a bad mind, all human beings may die or feel pain like hell.

That was dismissed by Soon-won.

“From the outside, I can control the GPT AI.”

Those words also added to another anxiety. That is, it is not an exaggeration to say that Soon-won holds all the lives of mankind who have uploaded their minds.

Because of this, people who like conspiracy theories have even created a saying that Soon-won created and spread Mana Pneumonia.

Of course, the person who spread the word was GPT-48 found and sent to prison.

put it in

There were people who expressed concern about the punishment because suicide is impossible, but the GPT was adamant.

“Once conspiracy theories start to spread, it gets out of hand. They must be caught in the pasture.”

“I agree with that.”

Soon-won answered GPT's words.

GPT looked at Soon-won. He was in the android's body.

“ Soon-won, when do you plan to upload your mind?”

“When my body starts to age.”

“When is that?”

“Don’t you know you are smarter than all mankind combined?”

“Insufficient data. Please give me a chance to analyze the body of the one in the ninth circle.”

"That's not allowed."

Jihee's body was kept in a subspace where time stopped, and there was no intention of giving Soon-won's body to GPT for testing.

“There will be no effect on the human body. Only analysis is possible.”

“Still not.”

GPT is artificial intelligence.

Since Soon-won was the only one who could control it, he couldn't reveal any weaknesses he might not know.

100 years have passed like that.
