The view was blurred.
The back was leaning against something like a hard wall, and a slight chill rose from the ground.
Kang Min-hyuk, who had time to adjust with a blink of an eye for a while, checked his surroundings when his vision returned.
'·········여기는?'
It was familiar.
Rather than being familiar with this space, the form of the space itself has been experienced.
'It's a library.'
What Kang Min-hyuk was leaning on was a bookcase, and the surrounding area was filled with bookshelves packed with numerous books. Still, no information about this space came into my mind. I looked around to see if there was a message from Chris like last time, but this time I didn't think there was one.
Then suddenly, a book caught my eye.
[The Origin of Birth]
One of numerous books.
I don't know why, but Kang Min-hyuk checked the book as his instinct led him.
Sarak.
[January 1, 2000] On the day of the opening of the new millennium era, monsters appeared in Korea and the disaster began. Countless people were massacred by monsters, and Korea was quickly destroyed. Soon after, a nuclear attack was ordered by a large number of countries following the attack of monsters on North Korea and Russia, but it rather encouraged disaster. The monsters that survived the nuclear explosion became more powerful, and humans needed the power to fight the monsters other than fire weapons. Thus, the desire of humans touched the sky and magic was born, and people named Korea to Russia "Monster Land" and announced that a new world began with the birth date of magic. That's how the magic civilization began on January 1, the year of the magic.]
"It's January 1st, the year of magic.
At that moment, my pupils shook greatly.
January 1, 0
When I read his diary, he said it was 2030 now.
So naturally he thought he was a little behind the world in which he lived, but the truth was completely different.
[Man has developed magic over 2,000 years of history. Although Mana's power was accepted and a new force of reason was manifested, it was impossible to defeat the monsters completely. Eventually, thousands of kilometers of barriers separated the world of Monster Land from human beings, and humans chose to coexist with monsters. Then the incident happened. Monster Gate. Monsters who have been staying in Monster Land for a long time began to come directly into the human world on a level crack.]
This was exactly what happened in the hometown of Krisman.
Now I felt like a puzzle was being put together.
When I first opened my eyes to the world, my classmate said this about Korea.
"Korea? Are you talking about Monster Land? Korea was destroyed a long time ago. I don't know why you're talking about Korea, but all the land that leads to Russia, including Korea, has turned into the land of monsters. So why don't you stop talking in your sleep and get ready for class? You'll get in trouble again."
A long time ago.
At the time, I thought it was simply decades ago, but now that I see it, I didn't mean that.
And I could see why Krisman's hometown was hit by monsters. It developed a high-level magic civilization, but a world that coexisted with monsters for as many as 2,000 years would naturally have been embarrassed by a new type of attack.
My mind has become complicated.
I thought it was a parallel world flowing at a similar time, but this world had a history of 2,000 years more than reality.
'The history of the world I live in is about 100 years.'
Ganghwa civilization has the same beginning.
The invasion of monsters began in the millennium, but it was completely different from the form of the invasion.
Not only did it appear in Korea, but as gates opened around the world, monsters appeared, and the Ganghwa civilization developed faster than expected. With the emergence of gatekeepers like Sooho-mun, each protected its territory in return for its life, and the world fighting monsters quickly established a system in just 100 years.
peace civilization
In fact, the history was really short compared to the magic civilization.
But just as civilization originally bloomed rapidly in a crisis situation, I thought that magic civilization grew on a similar history to that of Ganghwa civilization.
But 2,000 years.
In reality, which is hard to accept, Kang smiled dejectedly.
'Magic is a very difficult discipline. So even in countless studies, there are many things that we haven't found yet. I thought the people of this world were magic-specific humans, but it wasn't. They were not specialized in magic, but because they studied magic for as long as 2,000 years, they were able to have a higher level of civilization than we were.’
Time got mixed up.
After a long time, Kang Min-hyuk read the origin of his birth.
And as if possessed, he picked up a book called The Basic of Magic that was right next to him.
Somehow I felt I had to.
Kang Min-hyuk, who soon turned the pages of the book, came to a conclusion after reading all the basics of magic.
"The people of this world have made perfect up for their magic shortcomings."
2,000 years of history
The people of magic civilization, they did not waste the time.
***
A prosecutor of considerable skill once said this on a TV program.
"Wizard's drawbacks? There's a lot. It takes a long time to cast, and there's a lot of mana that's consumed at once, so I can't use it a few times. But it's not easy to build mana, and double casting is a privilege only for a few geniuses. I don't know what the mind of the people who learn magic made such a choice. Even considering all those shortcomings, it's not as strong as the aura word."
It was a fact.
When practical, magic was not worth learning.
But in the basis of magic, there was a solution that would completely compensate for the shortcomings that the prosecutor had said.
[Four Basic Courses Required by the Wizard]
First, circle formation.
'To form a circle, the bowl of manna in my world, you have to artificially inject manna into the human body using a special drug. But this world is different. I know how to induce mana to the heart, and through meditation, I can accumulate pure mana in the heart. So it forms a circle with more mana than we do, even higher purity. In this case, not only are there many times of magic available, but also because of the improvement in the quality of Mana, the magic power becomes stronger.'
The second is Mana fairy tale.
'The way in which the mana in the body is used when casting, while at the same time attracting the mana of nature. In fact, the amount of mana consumed by magic is a constant problem in reality. However, if you use this method, you can mix your mana and nature's mana properly and use a small amount of mana.’
And the third was double casting, and the fourth was magic utilization from 108 kinds of one-circle magic.
This is the basic step.
In the Ganghwa civilization, there was so much knowledge that I could win an academic contest right away, and in the magic civilization it was said to be very basic knowledge. That much, during the 2,000-year history, people in the world have experimented with many things. In order to deal with the monsters that were strengthened by the nuclear attack, we had no choice but to develop the human hope of magic.
That was great.
Kang Min-hyuk sincerely admired the magic that was incomparably developed in the world where Kang Min-hyuk lived.
'When we get back to reality, let's test these. If I succeed in forming circle and making magic fairy tales in real life, I can solve my problem as a wizard that I was worried about.’
A good deal of time has passed.
Though he spent a lot of time reading the origins of birth and the basics of magic, Kang had no time to rest.
I don't know how much time I have left.
When you're here, you should get as much as you can.
And
[Magic Bookstore]
The space that's been on my eyes for a while.
In the space that stretched out all the way to the side of the librarian, Kang Min-hyuk took a step towards it.
***
The space was playing a literal role.
Witchcraft storage.
There were various circles of magic stored in the bookcase, and Kang Min-hyuk's eyes grew bigger after checking his magic.
"·········이게 대체."
Magic varied.
From 1 circle to 7 circles.
Embarrassingly great enchantments, like nothing, were stuck in the bookshelf.
Seven circle magic.’
Choi Byung-ho's access to the top of the magic library, where the magic of the five circles was kept, was as if it were a huge thing.
But it's actually quite something.
There are few kinds of magic in the world where Kang Min-hyuk lives. Each of the five circles is equivalent to a thousand gold, especially since only five were developed. Therefore, Choi Byung-ho was concerned about entering the top section, and described the magic books stored there as great treasures of the magic department.
But not here.
There were dozens of five-circle magic, and six-circles and seven-circle magic were overflowing.
The magic that mankind has developed now is limited to five circles. I heard that magic societies around the world are investing a lot of money and human resources to develop six circle magic, but still have no results. By the way, there are so many great magic tricks all around here. It's the achievement of 2,000 years of magical history.’
My body trembled.
Kang has lived as a prosecutor all his life, but he still knows how great the value of these items is.
I wanted to check the magic book.
But I couldn't do that.
Kang Min-hyuk approached the librarian and asked because he might need the authority to check the wizard in this world.
"May I read some magic books?"
"Yes?"
The librarian raised his head.
Seeming to be a man in his early to mid-20s, he smiled at what Kang said.
"It's a lot of sub-magic books to check it out. By the way, are these wizards okay with you? This place is open to ordinary citizens, so there are only very basic wizards. Looks like you're a student at the Royal Academy of Magic, so don't you think you can get a free look at the advanced wizard books?”
the inferior ranks
The librarian described what Kang Min-hyuk regarded as a treasure as a very low-quality magic book.
Kang Min-hyuk almost lived at the top of the magic library for about 15 days and figured out the level of the library.
Therefore, I realized again.
'The difference between the two worlds is greater than I imagined.'

It was, indeed, a trifling achievement in this world.
