Return of the Archmage

Chapter 5

2. The Apology Wizard

1.

Wizards are precious.

High-level wizards are even more precious.

However, in terms of proportion, there is a distinction between the wizard’s share of high-level rankers and the wizard’s share of all users.

What should I say? It’s more common than I thought except for the high level?

It’s not just the feeling.

So are the statistics.

The number of wizards is small compared to regular tankers and dealers, but is substantially higher than skill occupations, such as healing, summoning, and cursing, which are classified into rare jobs.

However, there is only one reason why this phenomenon occurs at the high level.

“The sorcerer’s the only one who gets into a rift? No matter how level one crack is, are you crazy? Level 1 crack is not something to be considered easy. Rather, user mortality is the highest at level one crack!”

Because wizard growth is difficult.

It’s the same reason as the novel.

You don’t even have to go to novels.

Isn’t it the same in games?

Glamorous and powerful skills.

Behind that, you need potions and equipment to get there.

Games can be raised with grit because they survive in death, but not in reality.

Who can grow a weak wizard like a wizard in a reality where no one is respawned once they die?

All conditions must be met.

The most difficult and difficult condition to match would also be to awaken magic skills, but there is a lot of money and there is a need for support for growth.

It’s not all that big.

There should also be an understanding of how skills should be utilized and used.

It’s not a story that doesn’t apply to other users, but a wizard is called the number one job among countless professions that requires strict alignment of such things.

I can’t help it.

That’s the perception of a wizard.

That’s where it is.

Dealers. Burn everything and freeze everything.

In any case, even high-level wizards are not allowed to enter the cracks alone.

Of course, it is often seen that level 3 wizards, or level 4 rankers, lay low level 2 cracks alone, but level 7 wizards like world-famous No. 1 and Kang In-ho mean it is impossible to clear level 6 cracks alone.

That’s why I’m freaking out.

Han Seoyoung.

But Lee Hye-sung was outspoken.

“If you’re not going to help, go home. I’ll take care of it.”

“Oh! Okay. Let’s go, let’s go! If it’s dangerous, come out right away?”

“Anyway, why are you so scared? You said you were a level 28 healer. It’s a waste of my level. What a waste.”

“Healer has to take pictures of sacred forces, so he has to hide, level two cracks or level one!”

“Well, that’s okay. “If only those weaker than Orcs come out of a level 1 crack, they will win even if they fight in their sleep.”

Fortunately, Han Seo-young did not stop her outspoken steps.

However, he asked with a serious look.

“Instead! I can’t give up on this.”

“What is it?”

“Wear what I give you and go in.”

“Give it to me.”

It’s because the tutorial is so difficult.

Lee Hye-sung sighed and reached out his hand.

***

Han Jin-soo blew his nose as he came out of the shower.

“I didn’t expect the comet to be such a blessing.”

I have lived as a user for 30 years.

Although he was a late-life second-class user who was not skilled in combat and did not get the third grade, he is confident that he knows enough about cracks and users to communicate well with experts.

In his view, Lee Hye-sung’s ignorance was too great to simply look at as luck.

No, even if it’s luck, Lee Hye-sung’s attitude is not luck, but he is saying it.

Although I didn’t hear the details and the exact circumstances.

I could be sure.

‘This is the guy who’s going to be.’

Ranker’s influence in the world these days is higher than that of the president.

It’s not just about being admired like an idol.

Rankers even have power.

Power beyond modern weapons!

Even if you don’t go that far, it’s obvious that if you’re on a special relationship with a ranker, you’ll benefit greatly from your user life.

His party, which progresses little by little through the second-level rift, may be an opportunity to advance to the third-level.

I think so, but Lee Hye-sung’s attitude has changed 180 degrees overnight.

It didn’t matter.

It was rather good.

“The man should be as proud as he is now.”

Han Jin-soo likes that style to match his size.

I took care of my clothes thinking that I should be nicer from today.

“Honey, are you going to crack again today?”

“Yes, Comet just woke up and had a lot of money to go in. There’s a damage I saw in this crack. I think I’ll be busy for a while.”

“Be careful.”

“I know.”

At the same time, I thought of my daughter who I had been with since I was young.

“Children, you look great together. Hahaha!”

Han Jin-soo’s open-mindedness, who had been cutting off the tail of such thoughts until two days ago!

Imagining a pink future, he opened his favorite dress room.

The finest armor set I’ve just bought!

Even if you don’t get in the crack, you wipe it twice a day!

“……Huh?”

A set of armor to greet the owner with open hands did not exist in the dress room.

Did the hanging fall off, and there was nothing on the floor.

I shouted without realizing it.

“Honey!”

“What?”

“Where’s my armor?”

A housewife’s wife cannot have sold her armor anywhere.

As far as I remember, I had no choice but to ask for help because I had never taken my armor out of here.

The answer won’t come back, but I want to let him know his nervousness.

However, contrary to expectations, the answer returned very quickly without insignificance.

“Seoyoung took it with her.”

“Huh?”

“I heard you lent it to me. The comet is going to the first crack raid.”

“…I am?”

“Yes, he said yes and took it out.”

“…….”

My fist shook.

“I even lent Hyesung my armor. What’s up?”

“I, I told you. Wheat, I’m going to push you. Hahaha!”

A drooping forced smile spread through the house.

2.

“It looks expensive.”

“It’s my dad’s.”

“I don’t think you should just bring it.”

“It’s better than dying, so shut up and wear it.”

“Anyway.”

It’s light and not a bit in the way of movement.

There is no reason to refuse to wear these armor.

No matter how confident you are, Hye Sung’s current body is just a level 1 normal person.

That’s how I entered the level 1 crack.

a vast meadow

You breathe into the temple when you face the open nature after only smelling the smoke in a tall building.

Of course, this place is more familiar to Lee Hye-sung.

Fantasy was like this.

Instead of enjoying nature, he reaches out to a wild boar passing by without knowing its beauty.

“Can I just kill them all?”

“……Yes, once every creature in a crack is affected by the mana of the crack and is likely to embrace the core.”

A long, sharp spear is made over a passing boar before it can be heard.

“Search.”

Then it gets stuck in the neck of a fast-running boar.

Ugh!

The sound of a clench. The speed of the run drops at the same.

“…….”

Han Seo-young, who was dumbfounded, lightly ignored her eyes.

Instead, a light burst out to further enhance her absurdity.

Pot-!

[The level has gone up]]

Acquire a [set point (1).]

“Huh? Is it supposed to be this easy?”

“I want to take a beating. Really.”

Holding the back of his neck, Han Seo-young added an explanation.

“It’s not easy to get that level up. Some say that each person needs different experiences. The margin of error may not be great, but catching a wild boar like that doesn’t raise the level.”

“I know. It’s because of the experience of the Orcs I caught yesterday.”

“……You knew that and you were being mean?”

“Yes.”

If I think so, I can see that the standard for raising the level is rather high.

Level 2 crack. I caught almost 10 orcs in the level 20 range. Level 1 to level 2.

“A level 1 crack would only take 30 years to hunt.”

“Not level two. No way. You wouldn’t have been able to catch it if it wasn’t for Core.”

“That’s true.”

“Do you know how much money you’ve spent on magic you’ve spent once?”

“I don’t really want to know. I think he’s going to charge me.”

“Whew.”

We need to figure out a solution.

The best way is to get a suitable sponsor and raise the level quickly by overusing magic.

However, Han Seo-young’s party, which seemed to be living well, also suffered a loss to the point of suffering from only one level of magic.

They are not poor, but hunting through the core is not efficient.

The rich man who will hunt me like that won’t let me go.’

A suitable sponsor without shackles.

It might be faster to work a little harder and raise the level than to find it.

As soon as he made a decision, he opened user information and invested in stat points.

[User Information]

▶ Level : 2

▶ Team: South Korea (1Lv)

▶ Stat (0)

– Force : 1

– Agility : 1

– Physical strength : 1

– Mana : 3

Stett’s investment was mediocre.

Just as many users who dream of becoming high-level wizards take pictures.

Of course, the wizard who succeeds in taking pictures like this is one finger.

Most of them invest in strength, agility, and stamina evenly and look to the future.

Hoping that the rare skill of magic given to them would be a little more helpful at the party than others.

In fact, middle and lower wizards often participate in parties in such a mixed family.

“Oh! And the Stat investment was initially focused on the powerful mind.….”

“I’ve already done my magic.”

“Later……. Phew.

Mana, who was only a bunch of fingernails, grew to the size of her nails.

Enough to increase the magic arrow that caught a boar.

Even that is possible because Lee Hye-sung mastered the magic sense and realized the basics and used real magic, not skills.

“It would be useful to have 20 mana, but if you don’t have any other stats, it’s dangerous to have only two levels of cracking.”

“It’s okay. Just enough to roll.”

“What?”

“There is such a thing.”

He doesn’t fret at the humble stats.

Rather, those shabby stats seem to be a bonus to Lee Hye-sung’s eyes.

Reward for God to become stronger faster and repay him for 30 years of hard work!

It even gave a system to make Mana 0.1, which was zero, and make up to 1.’

If you can’t eat it, you have to go out and die.

Whoosh-

“Let’s go. We have a long way to go.”

Two spears were made around Lee Hye-sung and shot somewhere.

It was the beginning of the hunt.
