The Player Hides His Past

Chapter 178: Everything is ripe (1)

Come to think of it, it had been truly restless days.

First, I started it with the sickening, infinitely repetitive class quests. When I knocked down the great evil, the demon king appeared. When I knocked down the demon king, the demon worshippers appeared. When I took them down

In the end, I ran all the way to the high-ranking demon king, Gamigin.

I couldnt reveal my bottom line to the enemy.

While filling the bottomless jar with water pumped from the well I dug.

It seemed the holes werent tolerated from the ground up.

Clink

Early morning tea isnt bad either.

9 a.m.

Originally, it was the time to carry out my duties as the chief of the Mage Tower. Lets see, this was around the time I scrawled a rejection on Benschs towers exit application.

Chirp

The sound of birds chirping.

Instead, I was looking out the window in the office of the Kingdom of Yusra and drinking tea. Because the annual leave, no, the leave of absence I submitted was passed without difficulty.

How long had it been since I had a proper break?

I just didnt show it.

I couldnt.

Let alone the whole day.

I was confident that I would whine all week.

Its been so hard!

No, at the end of the day, if it werent for the [Blessing of the First World Tree], I could have died from overwork.

Not only I had to deal with the reality.

Since I got the [Evil Eyes Telescope], I even had to plan while keeping the situation of the Arcana Continent in mind.

But was there any way that this mouth could tolerate such cruelty?

I will return to you soon.

Dont talk cool, Grandfel.

Now was not the time for posturing.

Because even at this moment, the ring of the circle was tightening my heart.

I remembered Yugwids words.

Youve formed a circle. Its an achievement that makes me ashamed of myself, Chief Lee Hoyeol. Even if Chief Lee doesnt treat me like an elder, I dont even have the right to feel upset, do I?

With a sad face, Yugwid spat out words full of resentment.

As expected, the group of mages was scary!

Still, Yugwid earnestly explained the circle.

To put it simply, a circle is like a horses reins. If Chief Lee holds the ring and shakes it, your magic power will run wild like an angry horse.

The magic of the mage who formed the circle,

Overwhelmed the magic of the mage who couldnt form one.

If I were to explain the magic power before and after forming a circle in numbers, there was a difference of ten times the minimum number.

-But as with reins, handling the circle requires delicate control. As Chief Lee knows, circles are formed in the heart.

Right.

A certain level of ability was needed to handle the circle.

I supposed it was quicker to feel it with my body than with words.

I slowly raised my mana.

Spin

A magic sphere of light floated in the air.

Since it was a basic magic that I had studied for a long time, I could easily skip the exploration and interference processes.

I looked closely at the light

As expected, there was no change in the output.

Clank

Of course, I still didnt feel my heart tightening yet.

[Transcendent: The effect is sealed because the conditions are not met.]

Judging by the message, it seemed like the circle was formed but not working. In that case, should I be grateful that the effect of the title had been sealed?

I didnt even have the qualification yet.

If I held the ring of the circle and shook it

Let alone fainting while standing up.

I probably would have crossed the afterlife with a heart attack while standing upright.

More than anything, this is news that will make the Tower Master happy. He often felt regretful. About the fact that there is no mage in the Mage Tower who can share magical insight with him.

Yugwids words made me realize.

The strongest armed group in the Arcana Continent, the Mage Tower.

Even in the Mage Tower, there was only one mage who formed a circle, the Tower Master. So, it felt real. I really had skipped the intermediate step!

So it made sense that I got a qigong deviation.

If I managed my magic power properly, it would be similar to that of a skilled mage.

Filled with that kind of magic, the ring was called a circle.

Far from being reins that I could hold and shake, it inevitably became a heavy shackle.

Clank

Its running wild without a break.

But would this guys pride easily admit his own shortcomings?

Pop

Soon, the magic sphere scattered into the air.

I talked calmly.

Its been a long time since Ive handled such a rough wild horse.

The wild horse was referring to the circle, wasnt it?

Are you even using metaphors now, Grandfel?

Theres a limit to shamelessness, seriously!

I was shocked, but I was actually relieved.

If I were completely Lee Hoyeol.

By now, wouldnt I have been trembling in all kinds of misery, saying I had an incurable disease? But thanks to our proud Grandfel. I was prepared early.

I will personally subdue that wild nature.

Clank

Qigong deviation.

The power of the transcendent in my heart.

I would struggle to make the circle mine!

Sneak

Marcelos office.

There were numerous books and letters piled up on the desk.

Marcelo realized it once again.

He hadnt noticed it because of his weakened body.

He let out a small laugh.

I was unknowingly indebted to you a lot.

What kind of people were the mages?

They were people who wanted to explore new things as if they were longing for truth. Naturally, they had a lot of questions about the ruptures and the world of adventurers.

The number of the towers exit applications alone was hefty.

As Sir Hoyeol said, everything is in accordance with the procedures

He strictly scrutinized the purpose of the towers exit.

As he inspected the applications, time passed by.

Marcelo tilted his head. contemporary romance

This situation

Really, there must have been not enough time.

Hoyeol was different from him, who stayed in the Mage Tower and managed only the Mage Tower.

Yusra Kingdom, Frost, and even here in the world of adventurers.

The weight of the burden that Hoyeol carried was difficult to imagine.

He made a good decision at such a critical time.

Now that he had formed a circle.

Sir Hoyeol needed time to adjust to the circle.

In that case, there was no better time than it was now.

The Battle for the Demon King had returned to being nothing.

In addition, the high-ranking demon king, Gamigin, had now fallen into hell.

The activities of demons on the Arcana Continent had quietened down.

It wasnt an illusion like the Demon Kings Castle rupture.

Unlike back then, they were able to check on the Arcana Continent using the [Evil Eyes Telescope]. They witnessed the appearance of demons whose morale had been broken.

I will do my best to fill Sir Hoyeols vacancy.

As Marcelo muttered that, his feather pen clattered.

Senior Bensch needs to work a little harder on the application.

Fail.

*

The world was peaceful.

However, there were heroes who cleared twelve ruptures without a single casualty. It was only natural that heroic stories were heard from all over the ruptures.

[The Knights of Lionheart defeated the named monsters!]

[About the senior mages and the strength of the Mage Tower.]

[The strongest shield, the Paladins of the Goddess Church.]

[The small group of elite, the final boss, Shadow Mercenary Corps.]

Arcanains, who actively participated in the Holy War, received a lot of attention. They had demonstrated their overwhelming power in front of numerous players and camera lenses.

Kuhaha!

Golden Calf Tavern.

A laugh that no one missed was heard.

Lakid opened his second bottle in broad daylight.

The final boss. I dont know exactly what it means, but being a boss is a good thing, right? The world finally recognizes this Lakids worth!

His defeat to Elsidore still felt bitter, but

Well, his employer said he would take care of that.

Lakid didnt have to worry,

Rather, he wanted to enjoy this moment.

Now, lets see the uproar.

Lakid pressed the remote with his clunky fingers.

Beep

The picture immediately began to move.

Now, its time for the ax of this body that slaughtered demons to shine.

However

No matter how long he waited and how many bottles of alcohol he emptied, Lakids picture didnt appear. They were just talking about the same person all day.

His employer, Lee Hoyeol!

Hmm.

Considering the help he got with Elsidore

It was enough to stab at his remaining conscience for resenting Hoyeol.

However, it was unfair to just say that and move on.

In the end, Lakid only drank alcohol one after another.

Bang!

What the hell, you have so much to say about him that youre talking about him all day?!

Even though Lakid couldnt understand, the players who were holding their breath in the bar could understand. Since the first moment his existence was revealed, Hoyeol didnt hide his actions.

When it got really bad, the paparazzi even followed him around, didnt they?

They were called plaparazzi.

There was a time when some notorious players followed Hoyeol to get information.

No one is perfect in the world. Thats certain. I will definitely reveal the truth. I drooled thinking that if I just revealed it, I would be sitting on a cushion of money.

Of course, not long after that.

She kept her mouth shut and disappeared.

Hoyeols life was literally like a treadmill.

The Mage Tower, the rupture, the Mage Tower, Yusra Kingdom

He didnt break away from his routine.

Was he really a human being with desires?

Hoyeol repeated his routine regularly to a doubtful degree. The final push was when Baek Yiseol, the guildmaster of Shinwa, approached Hoyeol.

How many times in a row was it? She got rejected 10 times in a row? Anyhow, after seeing that face-slam, even the plaparazzi didnt dare to point a camera towards Lee Hoyeol.

While repeating that routine.

Lee Hoyeol cleared countless ruptures.

That kind of Lee Hoyeol put down his burden and took a break.

It was only natural that public attention was focused on his first vacation.

The player community is already in an uproar! There is a speculation that he might have received some kind of huge quest!!

.

.

.

Since I had more free time, the amount of time I spent surfing the Internet increased.

Is this something that goes against pride?

Not at all.

Even if its urgent, you cant neglect oddity.

At this point, isnt this a rationalization that goes beyond pride?

I had my doubts, but it was not a pride that I could resist by tackling it.

More importantly.

Why are you so interested in my vacation?

The news about my leave of absence was announced at the roundtable through Marcelo.

I had expected it to become known to the world through the players.

So I had prepared myself, but it exceeded my expectations.

Their interest was quite burdensome.

Isnt it a world quest? Involving the high-ranking demon king?

Honestly, is it only a world quest? I expect it to be a main quest

What is a main quest?

Does the main quest exist in the first place?

Actually, I dont know either

Its just aggro;;

What kind of misunderstanding are you all thinking?

I did accomplish a greater feat than successfully completing the world quest.

Then, what happened next?

I couldnt even digest the reward properly!

It wasnt something grand, it was something similar to closed-off training.

They have a poor imagination.

What is poor is your conscience, Grandfel.

Please, lets stop talking nonsense.

Especially at this moment, it was even more embarrassing.

I shifted my gaze, hoping desperately.

The reason why I said it was embarrassing was right in front of me.

The first day of submitting a leave of absence.

I was not in a location of a world quest or a main quest.

I was in the Yusra Kingdom.

To be exact, I was standing upright in the garden of the Yusra Kingdoms annex room.

An unshakable posture.

Correct arm angles.

I used a watering can across the garden in a very formal manner.

I spoke convincingly.

There are many ways to tame them.

Right.

The guy who had been struggling was still struggling.

How many wells had I dug so far?

Shouldnt I do everything I could even if it turned out a waste?

How to grow elixir herbs.

Qigong deviation.

If I couldnt overcome it with bi-herbs.

How about using the elixir made of bi-herbs?
