The Wizard in the Game Is Rewarded in Reality

Chapter 33

It is a place filled with numerous monitors.

Park Dong-hyuk sits in a chair, staring at the monitors.

On the monitor directly in front of Park Dong-hyuk, a blonde white man is sitting.

– Is that true?

“Do you think I have a reason to lie, Master James?”

The blonde man is James Gordon, the master of the Phoenix Guild in America. The Phoenix Guild is the strongest guild currently existing in America. The strongest guild in America is also the strongest guild in the world.

The ones leading the American awakeners attacking the 35th floor were the Phoenix Guild.

– I do not doubt Mr. Park’s words. In fact… others might also find it hard to accept as easily as I do.

“Kraksha’s Tower.”

– Ah-!

As the name Kraksha’s Tower came out of Park Dong-hyuk’s mouth, James Gordon let out a short exclamation. The same was true for the others on the monitors.

The expressions of those who had been looking at Park Dong-hyuk with suspicious eyes until just a moment ago changed in an instant.

This is the influence that the name Kraksha’s Tower holds now.

In just a few months, it has become the most important figure to awakeners worldwide.

Park Dong-hyuk feels pride, even though it is not his own achievement.

It is not because Kraksha’s Tower is Korean. Nor is it because he is the only one within the Dark Merchant organization who communicates with Kraksha’s Tower.

‘Kraksha’s Tower deserves respect.’

It is a short relationship.

He is younger than himself.

But seeing the actions of Kraksha’s Tower, one can see that he is fully deserving of respect.

He supplies half of the mana addiction alleviators, which could be sold at high prices, for free to those in need, and pours his wealth generously for the children in care facilities.

That does not mean he just gives away everything.

He knows how to express his anger properly.

– Those who touched the money meant for children struggling after losing their parents. I want to teach them a lesson.

The starting point of the corruption scandal related to care facilities that is shaking Korea was due to the request of Kraksha’s Tower.

– Mr. Park.

A woman on the right monitor of James Gordon calls out to Park Dong-hyuk.

“Please speak, Leader Liu Ting.”

The woman is Liu Ting, the leader of the Kowloon Society, representing China, which is targeting the next highest floor after the United States.

– The Great Heal Artifact and the Intermediate Healing Potion. Are there any criteria for selling them? I’m curious if there are any purchase restrictions.

This is something everyone attending the meeting is curious about.

There had already been a conversation with the Tower of Kraksha regarding this matter.

“The Tower of Kraksha has stated that they will prioritize supplying guilds belonging to countries targeting the upper floors of the Infinite Tower.”

Some people’s expressions brighten, while others darken.

The expressions of the guild masters from top-ranking countries, including the United States, China, and Korea, are particularly bright.

Targeting the upper floors of the Infinite Tower means that it is that much more dangerous. The monsters they face are powerful, and if they get injured, the chances of losing their lives are high.

Moreover, it is not easy to descend the Infinite Tower to receive treatment.

Although not as long as the ascent, the descent also takes a considerable amount of time.

Hyun In-sung, the guild master of the Hyunmu Guild, who recently suffered significant damage in the Infinite Tower, was also attending this meeting.

“The Tower of Kraksha is also aware that the awakened ones and guilds targeting the upper floors are in danger. I believe everyone knows the prices as they were stated in the email.”

The Great Heal Artifact is 500 million won, and the Intermediate Healing Potion is 100 million won.

Park Dong-hyuk thought that the prices were far below the value of the products, but he had no intention of changing the prices set by the Tower of Kraksha.

“We will prioritize supplying the potions. The artifacts take time to produce, so we will supply them in order.”

– How will the order be determined?

Park Dong-hyuk answers someone’s question.

“We will supply them starting with the countries targeting the highest floors.”

The expressions of the guild masters from the United States, including James Gordon, brighten.

“I will convey the words of the Tower of Kraksha. The artifacts and potions are solely for the awakened ones targeting the Infinite Tower. If it is discovered that those in power are diverting them for personal greed…”

Park Dong-hyuk’s smile fades, and he speaks in a cold voice.

“I will not sell anything I make to the guilds belonging to that country.”

The 10th floor of the Infinite Tower.

A warp magic circle connected to the Tower of Kraksha emits a bright light, revealing two people.

The wizards managing the warp magic circle bow their heads in unison.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

Elder Yuk pats the shoulders of the wizards.

He walks with Elder Yuk inside the base of the 10th floor magic tower.

“Are you planning to deal with the Orc Chieftain?”

“Shouldn’t we?”

The Orc Chieftain is the strongest monster among those that appear on the 10th floor of the Infinite Tower. In a typical game, you could think of it as a boss monster.

The orcs that appear from the 7th floor are strong monsters that cannot be compared to small monsters like goblins or kobolds.

Orcs, standing nearly 2 meters tall with muscular bodies, are aggressive and strong, befitting their nickname, ‘Clan of Struggle.’

The Orc Chieftain is the pinnacle of such orcs, and according to the information from the magic tower, it is as strong as the trolls that appear around the 21st floor.

“The Orc Chieftain is strong. Especially the Orc Chieftain strengthened by the shaman’s magic is a monster that even 5th circle wizards struggle with.”

It seems like he’s asking if we can handle such a strong monster.

“It’s a mountain we have to climb anyway.”

“That’s true. As you continue to climb the Infinite Tower, there are countless monsters stronger than the Orc Chieftain. The lizardmen that appear from the 11th floor are quite strong, even if not as strong as the Orc Chieftain.”

While talking with Elder Yuk and walking, one of the dispatched wizards is holding something and looking into a shaded area. It seems like he’s holding something, and light is emanating from it.

“Looks like he’s looking for something.”

“Una, do you know what that child is holding?”

“Yes? Isn’t it a light artifact?”

Elder Yuk shakes his head with a smile.

“It could be called an artifact, but it’s a bit different from the artifacts you know.”

An artifact is an artifact, so what does he mean by an artifact different from the ones I know?

“Hey, you there.”

“Yes? Hello, Elder.”

The wizard who was looking for something bows at Elder Yuk’s call.

“Give me what you’re holding.”

The wizard hands what he’s holding to Elder Yuk, and Elder Yuk hands it to me.

“Huh? It’s a mana stone?”

What the wizard gave was a mana stone.

“That’s right. It’s a mana stone. Take a good look at it.”

While examining the mana stone in my hand, I found something interesting.

“Is it possible to use it this way?”

“Didn’t you just see it with your own eyes?”

One side of the mana stone is flat, as if it had been cut by something sharp. A light magic circle is engraved on the flattened surface.

“It can be called a temporary artifact. By engraving a magic circle on the mana stone, it becomes an artifact.”

It was a method I had never thought of.

Suddenly, I asked Elder Yuk a question.

“Isn’t it a waste to enchant light magic on a low-grade mana stone?”

“A waste? Why do you think so?”

“Isn’t a low-grade mana stone enough to make a light artifact?”

Elder Yuk nodded as if it were obvious.

“That’s true. But that doesn’t mean you’re right. The reason is simple. After using the magic circle engraved on the mana stone, you can just shave it off.”

“······.”

“Although it is less effective than properly made artifacts, it is quite useful in urgent situations. After using it, you can use the mana stone again.”

“Ha, haha. That’s amazing.”

“It’s not that amazing.”

Elder Yuk seemed puzzled by my reaction.

But to me, it was amazing.

‘If I engrave a magic circle on a mana stone and make it an artifact, can’t I bring it into reality through the infinite bag?’

If my hypothesis is correct, there is no need to make artifacts with mana paint anymore.

No matter how excellent the artifacts made with mana paint are, they cannot compare to those made with real mana stones.

“What are you thinking about that makes you smile like that?”

“Haha, it’s nothing. I just thought of something interesting.”

“You silly boy. If you want to deal with the Orc Chieftain, we should leave immediately. That way, we can return before sunset.”

The stairs to the 11th floor are located on the mountain behind the village led by the Orc Chieftain.

If you go around, you can reach the 11th floor without facing the Orc Chieftain, but the travel time will increase several times.

In the real Infinite Tower, the competition to defeat the Orc Chieftain is very fierce. The sword used by the Orc Chieftain is traded at a high price.

Moreover, the Orc Totem, which can be randomly obtained from the Orc Shaman who appears with the Orc Chieftain, is traded at a higher price than the Chieftain’s sword.

But the reason why the Awakened compete to defeat the Orc Chieftain is because of the ‘Skill Stone’. The Skill Stone, which can be obtained from the Orc Chieftain with a low probability, allows the user to acquire a skill, randomly obtaining a skill from the user’s job series.

Most of the Awakened who are renowned worldwide have obtained powerful skills through the Skill Stone.

Together with Elder Yuk, I flew quickly to the Orc village led by the Orc Chieftain.

“It’s almost like a city.”

“Isn’t it the tribe led by the great chieftain? It’s several times larger than the orc tribes you’ve subdued so far. There are quite a number of orc warriors, orc archers, and orc shamans. I know you’re strong, but you really need to be careful this time.”

“Yes, Elder. I will be careful.”

“If you want, you can use the Infinity Staff.”

“I’ll use it if I deem it necessary. Elder, I’ll be on my way.”

After bowing to the Sixth Elder, who had hidden himself with invisibility, I turned around.

I slowly loosened my joints as I walked.

Four orcs were guarding the entrance to the tribe. One of them spotted me and let out a sharp cry.

With the cry, the gazes of the other three orcs turned towards me.

The orcs, gripping their glaives that resembled scimitars, let out roars and charged at me.

From the watchtowers located all around the palisade, orc archers fired arrows at me.

“Shield.”

After enveloping myself with a shield, I ran towards the orcs.
