The Birth of the 9th Circle Wizard

‘How can I go back?’

The clues are beads.

After biting the men, the two men eagerly analyzed the marbles, but there was no response.

Knuckle!

Then there was a sound from Jiyeon's ship.

"I'm hungry?"

“I ate for breakfast and so far nothing

I didn't eat... .”

“Then let’s eat first.”

When I opened the door and went outside, the soldiers and court ladies were chatting, and they knelt in surprise.

“I’m a little hungry, but I want to eat… .”

“I will command you right away!”

Seeing what was so urgent and moving in unison, I felt that it was not just because of the title of emperor.

‘If you don’t like this, you’ve killed people.’

There is fear on the faces of soldiers and court ladies.

was standing He thought that if he didn't like the emperor, he might die right away.

‘If you think about it, there were some people who raised the issue of utopian human rights.’

Soon-won stopped trying to tell the court ladies that he had nothing to fear. That's because you know you have to give yourself plenty of time to put your words into action.

“The meal is ready.”

"Except*?"

Contrary to the expectation that the emperor's meal would be bent

It was a course dish that came out one by one.

However, it continued to come out endlessly, and when the two of them were full and could no longer eat, the meal stopped.

“Go into your room and rest. I'll figure out a way."

When Jiyeon asked the court lady for a place to sleep, she immediately provided a room for the distinguished guests.

"Sorry, I'm tired, so I'll go to bed first."

“Yeah, get some rest.”

After the delay, Soon-won lies in bed

He looked at the beads. Even with his 9 circle detection magic, he couldn't figure out how to use it.

“GPT.”

There was no answer from GPT.

"joy?"

Joey said he would respond three times, but there was no reply.

‘It won’t be easy.’

Since then, Soon-won has been searching for his marbles other than time to eat and sleep. He also combined, disassembled, and merged the countless signals in it. After ten days like that, something happened.

it started.

Tsutsutsutsutsutsutsutsutsu!

[Initiates reboot. 2 hours left.]

"uh?"

Soon-won showed Ji-yeon.

She, too, was very surprised to see her message.

“If you do this well, you can go back, right?”

“It would be nice then.”

In the meantime, court ladies and soldiers have been comfortable

He treated Soon-won in a negative way.

This is because, as before, he has shown a generous side, rather than sharply scolding and punishing minor mistakes.

“It might be the last time, so I’ll have to go to a hot spring for the remaining six hours.”

“Yeah, let’s go.”“Soohyun, do you want to go too?”

Eventually Soon-won also went to the hot springs.

As I went there, I realized that all players must have created their own offline world and played, but there are few places as wonderful as this one.

“Hey, Jeon Sang-hyun, that person has a great imagination.”

A rocky mountain that rises as if piercing the sky spreads out like a picture, and a beautiful river flows beneath it.

Watching the trees grow while the fog calmed down was like appreciating a masterpiece.

It was even more so as the sunset was setting. The two put on a simple towel around their bodies and entered the hot spring.

“Soohyun, what did you do the longest while you were in the offline world?”

"me?"

“Yeah, actually, I spent the longest time traveling there with the image of the Earth before virtual reality. I have traveled all over the world for two thousand years.”

“Why have you been in the same world for so long?”

“I came here at such a young age, so it was hard to tell the difference between real and virtual reality.”

In fact, among the children who entered virtual reality at a very young age, they lived in virtual reality for 10,000 years and realized virtual reality.

There were those who thought it was.

“Yeah, I’ve heard that there are quite a few cases like that.”

Soon-won thought of his daughter.

A daughter who entered virtual reality at a very young age, but she couldn't be there when she needed it.

Ji-hee Han was well educated, so she grew up without wrinkles, but that was often used in her mind.

"I know that? Am I actually the child of a very famous person?”

"Oh yeah? who?"

“It’s a secret.”

Delay chuckled and laughed.

“It’s bland.”

“I’ll tell you later when we get to know each other better.”

Soon-won suddenly felt that the time was running out.

"let's go. Let's go out and get ready."

The emperor's reign is now over.

The two got dressed and went out.

[Initiates reboot.]

[Correct the error that occurred.]

Tsutsutsutsu!

The surrounding environment has changed.

The appearance of the castle where the emperor was staying was transformed into a department store in Yeongdeungpo.

"Ah! I'm back!"

"thank God."

But something was strange.

It was definitely a busy day back then, but now it was the evening when all the stores were closed.

“Well, it’s been three days.”

“The Ministry of Magic will take care of you. Come on, let's go.”

"for a moment."

Soon-won stopped her delay.

Nearby there was the roar of a beast during the day and the smell of blood. He noticed it because he was Soon-won with an animal sense, but it was so small that a normal wizard would not have noticed it.

“Something strange.”

"Why?"

Jiyeon pulled out her cell phone.

The phone didn't ring.

“No, why is this… ，

“Look around. Isn't something strange?"

“No, because the department store is closed… .”

It was then that I saw things that I had never seen before. Even if a department store closes in the evening, the surrounding area cannot be this dirty.

There were various kinds of garbage on the floor, and there were places where signs and lights were broken.

“I think something is wrong.”

“Let’s go out at once.”

They were on the first basement floor. I went up the stairs to leave the department store. It's obviously a department store with the lights turned off, so it should be dark, but it's bright.

there was.

Outside the window, a huge flame was burning in the city center.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

At that moment, a monster resembling a pterosaur descended from the sky over the glass door of the department store.

“Aww! Save people!”

As if he had snatched a man with her claws, the man salivated her again and widened her beak.

"Oh, no!"

The region tried to use magic in a hurry, but the situation was so urgent that people

I couldn't come up with a magic to target monsters without hurting them.

“Slow!”

Soon-won used the magic without hesitation. The beak, which was about to slam his head down, slowed like slow motion, and Soon-won blinked through the door and rescued the man.

“Huh… Huh... Go, thank you. Are you a magician?”

“Yes, how did this happen?”

Soon-won summoned a sword and slashed the head of a monster that looked like a pterosaur with a single knife.

“I was at home and ran out of food, the child cried because he was hungry, and my wife had extreme thoughts, so I came out to get food.”

He was holding a small bag in his hand. Although he was caught by a monster and flew into the sky, he did not let go of the bag containing food.

"Wait. Does that mean this situation is old now?”

"Yes? That's of course... .”

“How many days is it?”

“It’s the 22nd.”

“It’s August, isn’t it?”

"Yes,

I spent 3 days in the offline world, but 3 months have passed since the online world. Even when real time passed 5.6 billion years, 5 months had passed in the virtual reality world, but 3 months passed by so incredibly fast.

"Unbelievable… .”

Jiyeon looked at her phone with a confused expression. Again, communication was impossible.

“What is your name?”

“This is Han Woo-hyun.”

“Where is Han Woo-hyun’s house?”

“I’m from Yeongdeungpo Prugio, but why is that… .”

“I’ll drive you home safely.”

“I am really?”

“Yes, so please tell me when and how this happened.”

"Yes? Are you unaware of this situation?”

“It will be comfortable if you think that you came out of an underground bunker after 3 months.”

“Is there really an underground bunker?”

“It is just an example. Come on.”

“That’s what… .”

The situation happened around 50 days ago.

Gates all over the world were opened simultaneously and various monsters poured out.

Wizards, soldiers, and even the police were all mobilized, but the number of monsters was absurd, so it was useless.

The telecommunication economy collapsed and became anarchy in an instant.

"this… .”

Spending time in another world at such an important time was too bad, even if the timing was bad.

‘No, was it a trap?’

To think so, I thought that Soon-won himself had been hiding his identity well.

'It could be a coincidence. It is important to understand the situation in more detail first.’Soon-won held hands with Han Woo-hyun and Ji-yeon.

“Huh?”

He teleported right away.

Han Woo-hyun was startled by the sudden change of surroundings and hiccuped.

“How many dongs are you in?”

“Bar, this is the apartment. It's on the 6th floor... Wow!”

Go straight up to the spear with flying magic

I opened the door and helped Han Woo-hyun enter the house.

“Hey, honey!”

"dad!"

His wife and children were startled and ran to him. Soon-won took Ji-yeon and teleported over long distances without even having time to appreciate the touching family reunion.

Tsutsutsutsu!

“Come on, wait a minute, Soohyun, what are you… .”

Seeing Soon-won as if Ji-yeon was teleporting, she was startled and tried to argue, but she opened her mouth in surprise when she saw the changed surroundings.

“Hey, here… .”

I came to the academy playground, and the academy building was destroyed and collapsed.

It was burnt and ruined as if it had been bombed.

'The Academy's defenses were more than any other military unit.'

I was thinking about where I should go now, but the decision was quick.

“For now, let’s go back to the Ministry of Magic.”

Teleported to the Ministry of Magic.

The Ministry of Magic itself was a place where teleportation was prohibited for security and safety.

However, he could not stop Soon-won, who was in the 9th circle.

“How are you… .”

Ji-yeon was startled again and tried to ask Soon-won, but he ran out to the central hall looking at the empty Ministry of Magic.

‘There is only one person who can feel the energy of detection magic.’

It was the guard room.

When he went there, the old janitor stood up, startled to see him.

“No, how did you get in?”

“I’m Jung Soo-hyun, a student wizard. Where have they all gone? magic department 3

It's never been so empty 65 days 24 hours a day... .”

Even if there is a war, the building of the Ministry of Magic is not extinguished. Even if the wizards go to war, the people who are supposed to look after them as administrative tasks are working behind them.

“Everywhere they went, they went to beat Kunlun.”

"Yes?"

“What? How many months in a cave did you come out of? Why are you not even aware of it?”

"Yes. So please tell me.

where did everyone go... .”

“Where did you go through the gate?”

“Gate?”

“Yes, it is said that tens of thousands of gates that have appeared all over the world lead to one place. That's where Master Kunlun hid or something."

"then… .”

The situation around him changed so rapidly that when he stood still to organize his thoughts, Ji-yeon rushed to grab Soon-won.

“Soohyun-ah. Let’s go to SW Company with me for a moment.”

"what? Why are you there?”

Soon-won woke up from his thoughts at the word SW company.

“I am worried about my mother.”

“Your mother?”

“Yeah, Wizard Han Ji-hee, the chairman of SW Company and the 9th circle magician. That is my mother.”

Soon-won opened his mouth in surprise.
