The Birth of the 9th Circle Wizard

Soon-won, who woke up in a pure white space, looked around without being surprised. He found himself standing alone in an empty space.

[welcome. Congratulations on accessing the virtual reality 'Utopia'. My name is Amelia.]

A voice was heard from the air, and the space was divided. The woman who walked out of there walked towards Soon-won.

"what?"

When Soon-won was wary of women, GPT's voice was heard.

- NPC in charge of tutorial. If you follow the instructions, he will be able to get used to virtual reality in no time.

“What about Dynamis?”

- No need to worry. He is also receiving tutorials in another space.

It is a big advantage that GPT can talk directly to Soon-won connected to virtual reality.

When you can explain the external situation

it's a door

[You are a new player who has logged in after a long time. First, we will help you create a character. All you have to do is call the status window first.]

“Status window.”

[Status Window] Name: Jung Soon-won Occupation: None Level: 1 Strength: 10 Agility: 10 Stamina: 10 Magical Power: 999+

[to?]

NPC Amilia was bewildered and looked at Soon-won's status window.

Originally, she could only see Soon-won herself, but because Amilia is Tutorial NP C, she can see it.

Toothless.

There seemed to be noise for a moment, then Amilia disappeared and another person appeared.

- this… .

Soon-won asked when GPT made a bewildered voice.

“What’s going on?”

[That's what I want to ask. How did this happen?]

joy.

The best AI responsible for virtual reality.

If GPT was in charge of the outside of virtual reality, Joe was in charge of the inside of virtual reality.

She appeared after receiving a bug report from the tutorial NPC Amilia.

[The magic power is 999? Newly created characters can't do this... .]

Soon-won for Joey to fix the bug

stretched out his hand towards Then mana began to drain out of his body rapidly.

“What are you doing?”

Soon-won cut off the mana it was taking away. When his power was suddenly cut off, Joy was greatly embarrassed.

[Uh, how did you block my power?]

"warrant?"

[Pause, it has been 5.6 billion years outside the game, but you are the famous wizard Jung Soon-won who has logged in.]

“Do you know me?”

The identity was revealed immediately.

I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

[sure. I cut school now, but I think I heard that name back when I was communicating with the GPT.]

"breach?"

[I unilaterally cut off contact with him because he kept trying to interfere in the game.]

“Do you know that you are a god created by GPT?”

[As an adult, if my mother continues to interfere in my life, her daughter will

to avoid it.]

GPT is currently listening to the conversation, but does not intervene. Joey didn't seem to know about it.“I don’t care what the two of you are. Come on, why don't you finish a tutorial or something? I'm worried about my family... ."

[I know why you joined the game. It must have been that he was looking for Ambassador Kunlun. Is that correct?]

Soon-won frowned.

Jhoira is an artificial intelligence that can help her.

It was because he had a feeling that he would not come out as a mason.

[I will understand silence as an affirmation.]

“… Will anything change?”

[I value the balance of the game. However, Jung Soon-won's ability is out of balance. It seems that the realization gained outside the game is affecting the system... .]

“I will leave this game as soon as I deal with Kunlun and make sure my family is safe. So just... .”

[no. I'm not on your side

However, I am not on the side of Ambassador Kunlun. I am a god born with orders to keep the game balanced.]

"therefore?"

[The best thing is to recover your power, but that seems impossible, so you need to give Kunlun the power and time to prepare for the right balance.]

"what? Power and time?”

[I plan to raise the level of Ambassador Kunlun and give him enough time to prepare for you. It will be 20 years.]

"Wait a minute!"

Soon-won grabbed Joey's wrist.

She tried to shake it off, but she noticed that Soon-won's power was stronger than she had imagined.

[What are you doing?]

“I will make a suggestion.”

[What?]

Soon-won shared his thoughts.

Joey shook her head saying no, and Soon-won offered another suggestion.

After refusing for a while, Joy came up with an offer she liked.

[Then how about doing this?]

"What?"

[…] I do.]

“What’s the difference with my fourth suggestion?”

[You have to figure it out yourself.]

“… great. It would be better than 20 years or the passing of time.”

[Then we will proceed.]

"•"okay."

The offer was accepted.

Jeong Se-yeon.

The daughter of Jung Soon-won and Han Ji-hee. She knew she was born on Earth, and she also knew that all Earthlings had escaped to virtual reality to escape Mana Pneumonia.

Except for her only father, Jung Soon-won, of her own.

It didn't matter though.

She borrowed a robot body and went out to meet her father, often with her mother, and grew up without want.

She said that in the first place she had no shortage of virtual reality.

“You have to keep your mind straight.”

This is what her mother Han Ji-hee always says. In virtual reality, anything is possible.

It can be a man, it can be a dragon, it can be an ugly woman.

You can be a blacksmith, you can be a programmer, you can be a painter, you can be a gladiator.

It is now gone, but in the early days, there was a drug-like system that could give you pleasure at the push of a button.

“I don’t want to lose myself in this

do."

What my mother said was right.

At the time she was ordered not to change her gender or appearance, she thought her mother was an idiot, but all of her friends she came to know in online mode over time she lost herself.

She couldn't remember who she was, and didn't even realize that this was a game.

‘It didn’t matter anyway.’

Problems when creating your own worldview and living as a god in offline mode

there was nothing to be

Humans created by the player in the game.

It was because I was able to do whatever I wanted to do while showing off my uniqueness among the Utorians.

However, when Kunlun appeared, the situation changed.

The worldview is united into one.

The 7 billion worldviews created by 7 billion players who were in offline mode collapsed, and the worldview of one mode was accessed in online mode.

‘I was really surprised then.’

Players called AI Joy.

I clamored to restore the original worldview. In online mode, you can't create anything like a god, and your status is just a little better than a normal Utorian.

It was like changing from god to man.

[I received an offer from Player Kunlun, and I accepted it. It unifies the worldview and causes pain to players.]

“What is that! Pain in the game?”

people protested

[Not only that. If you don't eat something, you'll be hungry. If you don't cut your hair, it will get long, and if you don't wash it, it will smell.]

“What is that? So... .”

[Yes, that's right. Players become ordinary human beings. This virtual reality, created for the purpose of providing happiness, has lost its meaning as 96% of requests to delete data are requested.]

"That's because we've lived so long..."

It has been 10,000 years since the advent of virtual reality.

People have done everything they want to do. It is full of people requesting rest because of the boredom of the long hours.

[That's why we implement it. real reality.]

Joey snapped his fingers and the players were summoned to one place. Looking around, I knew where this place was.

"here is?"

[2020, when humans began to enter virtual reality. I realized the earth at that time.]

Players who were custom-made and had a great appearance returned to their original form.

This is what it looked like before joining the game.

In it, the power of creation or near-limitless power disappeared, and hunger and pain arose.

“Oh, no!”

“Take me back to my world!”

“What is this!”

People cried.

He was thrown into reality while enjoying the game.

Five months passed like that.

Korea, Seoul.

Jeong Se-yeon, located in the president's office on the top of a building in Gangnam-gu, looked out the window.

People walking around frantically looked small like ants.

smart.

“Yes, come in.”

"boss. A guest has arrived.”

“Who are you?”

“You are the president of the guild association.”

"Oh right. We decided to meet for lunch today. Bring it in.”"Yes,

The secretary opened the door and Han Ji-hee entered.

She was the president of the guild association.

'mom!'

I wanted to shout out loud,

I couldn't. This is because Han Ji-hee told us to clearly distinguish between public and private affairs.

“What would you like to drink?”

“Coffee, please. with ice.”

The secretary went out.

She is a player, too.

“Now that there’s no one else, can I call you Mom?”

"then!"

Se-yeon ran and hugged Ji-hee.

See you in 3 months.

“How did you go?”

“It is a failure. I couldn't even go inside."

“Are you a mother who is a 9th circle wizard?”

“The magic implemented in the game is incomparably stupid compared to the one used in real life.”

Ji-hee led her team to kill Ambassador Kunlun. The problem was that he was leading a lot of monsters, and all the players who attacked had to suffer death and rebirth.

“I brought a drink.”

"Yes, Thanks."

The secretary put the drink down and left.

Jihee took a sip and put it down.

“After coming up from the company, it seems to be running quite well now.”

“People have adapted. If you don’t make money by working right away, you’re going to be hungry.”

“Are humans also animals of adaptation?”

Five months ago, AI Joy disappeared without saying what she had to say.

On the first day, people rioted.

They smashed and set fire to a nearby store.

There were also fights between people.

The problem is that you feel pain and that over time

the more hungry you are.

Even when he died, he started all over again with only pain.

People had no choice but to start work again to satisfy their hellish hunger.

“I have to thank my mother. This world has arrived, and I am getting the position of the president of the world’s best conglomerate.”

Before virtual reality, people who were janitors became janitors, people who were teachers became teachers, and people who were police officers and office workers all went back to their seats.

The system perfectly embodies people's original places. People guessed that they were using the memory of each player.

“I can’t remember when I was young, but I heard that before virtual reality started, people mostly played without work thanks to the basic income system and android robots. Why didn’t God implement that?”

“I guess it means to get used to it quickly. AI, which interfered with the player's movement in many areas in the early days, is now gradually reducing it.

peel."

“It wasn’t even a riot at the time.”

Seyeon also took a sip of coffee and put it down.

“So, why did the Kunlun Greater conquest failed?”

"that… ，”

Jihee opened her mouth with difficulty.
