A Reincarnated Person With a Sub-Dimension - A Reincarnated Person With a Sub-Dimension chapter 8

Episode 8

When I was worried about whether I could succeed in engraving, Uncle Herbert said in a calm voice.

“The structure may seem complicated, but don’t think too hard. Recognizing mana is the realm of instinct, not reason, so if you continue to draw your mind, you will naturally come up with its shape.

Stop mana infusion now. As soon as my mana disappears, follow the remaining afterimages and engrave them on your mind. When the afterimage completely disappears, I’ll inject mana again. If you lose concentration, you may lose all the senses you have accumulated so far, so until you complete the simbeop, focus only on the imprint.”

When the mana injection stopped, the mana located under the navel quickly disappeared.

A hazy afterimage remained where the mana disappeared.

I started drawing the simbeop following the afterimages left on the image.

The structure of mana simbeop was a complex tangled form of straight lines, curves, and oblique lines.

I tried to draw as much as I could, but the afterimage disappeared before I drew even 10 percent.

I had doubts about whether this was really possible, but I believed Harbert’s words and took on the challenge again.

The challenge continued.

Surprisingly, the structure of the mental method, which seemed so complex, began to emerge naturally in my head as the challenge continued.

In fact, I was able to figure out the overall structure after five or six challenges.

However, it took a lot of time to improve the accuracy because the completion of the engraving failed even if there was only one very fine bend.

It is very difficult to trace complex structures by hand unless you are a very dexterous person.

However, no matter how complex the structure is, anyone can follow it with their eyes.

Since the process of imprinting is to draw the form in the mind, in some ways it was easier than physically drawing it.

If he had been given a pen and paper and told to draw according to the mana simbeop, it would have been much more difficult.

Uncle Harbert said that it would take at least 10 transfers and the process of imprinting for me to imprint the mana simbeop.

As expected, I was able to successfully imprint after 14 attempts.

After drawing the structure of the mana mental method on the image at once, I felt that the mana mental method was finally imprinted on the soul and firmly established.

I immediately tried mana simbeop.

Then, a slight heat permeated above the pit of the stomach and flowed down the navel.

It felt like mana was accumulating below the navel, like drizzling rain on dry land.

For a while, I operated my simbeop with a unique sense of fullness that I had experienced for the first time in my life.

However, as Uncle Harbert was waiting for him, he soon stopped practicing and opened his eyes.

“I think the engraving was successful. Thank you very much. It took a lot of time, right?”

“It’s midnight soon, so it took longer than expected. I was worried that I might fail, but it’s great that I didn’t lose focus until the end.”

The teaching of mana simbeop, which started in the morning, was not over until midnight.

Engraving takes a lot of energy.

There is a limit to human concentration.

Uncle Herbert praised my persistence for staying focused for long periods of time.

‘People who lack talent are likely to fail at imprinting because their mental strength is exhausted.’

Fortunately, my body is always full of vitality thanks to spring water.

I felt a slight headache as if a healthy body had an effect on my mind, but I didn’t think it was too difficult.

“You worked hard because of me.”

“I did the obvious thing, so don’t worry. easy.”

“Ah! Thank you, mister. My father will be delighted too.”

It’s a simbeop named after your father.

Considering the difficulties I had to engrave, I thought it might be a fairly advanced method.

I asked Uncle Herbert softly to resolve my curiosity.

“By the way, I heard that there are grades in mana simbeop. What are the grades by any chance?”

“Yoric’s mana sim is the lowest level sim, but it has almost the best performance among the lowest sims. After all, what was originally a low-level mental method was developed into an intermediate mental method after numerous geniuses improved and improved it.

Improving the mental method is a past task. I couldn’t afford it at the border, but now that I’m back in my hometown, I’m thinking of developing Yorick’s mana sim method in the future. If I succeed in improving it, I will definitely pass it on to you.”

“Yes. Thank you very much.”

It was only the lowest-level mental method that I learned through hardship.

Improving what was made while barely getting used to it?

It seemed impossible with my talent.

“But what’s the difference if the level of mana simbeop is high?”

“Even with the same level of Simbeop, there is a slight difference in performance depending on the structure. It is about one-tenth, but if you train for ten years, you will be ahead of the time of one year, so this is not a negligible difference either.

However, if the grade is different, there is a clear difference beyond this level. The level of Simbeop is divided according to how many layers can be stacked, and the number of layers of Simbeop doubles each time the level goes up. And the speed at which mana accumulates also increases by the number of stacks.”

The method of layering the simbeop was a method of imprinting the simbeop again by covering the thin soul on the imprinted simbeop.

He said that the more advanced the simbeop is, the more stable the structure is, so that several layers can be stacked.

‘Who the hell makes up such a crazy simbeop?’

I couldn’t believe that such geniuses existed, having barely imprinted even the lowest level of simbeop.

“Then, how do you succeed in imprinting when it becomes so difficult?”

“This is possible because the more talented the person, the more clearly the afterimage of the mind remains for a long time. If the afterimage remains for a long time, it is possible to complete the engraving at once without having to try several times.”

“Ah. So you said that if you have talent, you literally draw overpaintings.”

“That’s right, but Ian. Although talent for mana is important, don’t dwell too much on it. Mana talent is just one means of defending oneself on the battlefield.

There is no absolute strong in the world. You can meet an opponent stronger than yourself at any time, and depending on the situation, you lose your strength and become weak. The most important thing on the battlefield is to accurately grasp the surrounding situation and one’s abilities. Rather, those who say they have talent overconfident in their abilities and lose their lives in an instant.”

Uncle Herbert paused for a moment and continued with a serious face.

“Actually, everyone wants good mana sim, but judging from your talent, I think it would be very difficult to imprint an intermediate sim. As you may have experienced, the process of engraving takes a lot of mental strength. It’s practically impossible. From what I’ve seen, it’s expected that it will take at least three days for you to imprint the intermediate simbeop.

The time that humans can focus on imprinting without the help of mana is usually within one day at the shortest and two days at the longest. When imprinting a mana simbeop, the process of erasing the existing mana simbeop is preceded, so you can’t use mana to revitalize your body. In the end, you have no choice but to fully rely on the strength of your body and mind to imprint your mind.”

According to Harbert’s words, if you have the stamina and mental strength to endure with your bare body, it is possible to imprint a high-grade mana simbeop.

It may have been a story that was brought up to inform the reality, but rather, I felt hopeful.

“For reference, from the intermediate mana simbeop, nearly half of the people who feel mana fail to imprint, so there is no need to be too disappointed. Anyway, most people do not attain enlightenment and stay in the third world. I bet you’ll rise to the trinity within.

So don’t dwell on the level of mana talent or mana simbeop, focus on training. You have power that surpasses that of a three-tier warrior with only your physical abilities, so if you add mana to that, you’ll be able to become a high-level mercenary.”

“Okay. I’ll keep that in mind. But I’m curious. How many times did you succeed in imprinting intermediate mana simbeop?”

“Fortunately, I was able to make it through the second time.”

“ah…”

As I listened to Harbert’s answer, the sound of pretty and handsome people saying that their heart is more important than their appearance echoed in my ears.

“Then let’s finish talking here and talk about the rest tomorrow. It’s late at night, so why don’t we sleep here tonight?”

“Thank you, but I think I’d better go home because my brothers will be worried.”

“Okay. Then go in safely and see you tomorrow. Come tomorrow at the same time as today.”

“Yes, mister. Then I’ll see you tomorrow.”

After bowing politely to Uncle Harbert, I left the residence hall.

A dark night without a single light.

Relying on enhanced eyesight and moonlight, I quickly headed home.

As I got near the house, I heard Carly whimpering and scratching at the door.

When I opened the door, Carly jumped in like I hadn’t seen in months.

In the meantime, the older brothers who woke up got up from their beds.

“Have you been doing well? Did you learn mana simbeop?”

my eldest brother asked me.

“Uh, hyung. You’ve been taught perfectly. And I’ve decided to start taking martial arts lessons tomorrow.”

“Really? Really good.”

“Oh. That’s great. So, did you only learn the mana simbeop today? Did you do anything else? It took a lot longer than I thought.”

In response to the third brother’s question, I slowly explained what had happened today one by one.

My brothers clapped in admiration at the part where I blew Richard away.

Then, after holding the wooden sword, when I was told that I had been beaten to dust, I rolled my arms and checked for any injuries.

Lastly, he was very happy that he had been taught the mana simbeop, and said he was truly fortunate.

The older brothers had no talent for mana, so no matter how long it took me, they were proud of me just imprinting the mana simbeop.

Even though the hyungs must be tired, they listened to my story, laughed together, and congratulated me with joy.

When the three brothers laughed loudly after a long time, Carly stuck out her tongue and laughed along.

After some time, my brother and I got ready to sleep for tomorrow.

As I lay down on the bed, I was very excited at the thought of practicing mana simbeop in the sub-dimension.

As soon as I summoned the pocket watch, I pressed the crown and moved to the Sub-Dimension.

As expected, as soon as I moved to the sub-dimensional, dense mana covered my whole body as if I had fallen into a hot spring.

I walked to the center of the Sub-Dimension to drink the spring water before using the mental method.

“Kya!”

As soon as he drank the spring water, the refreshing feeling of quenching his thirst and the heat of mana wrapped around his body calmed down somewhat.

Excited at the thought of using mana simbeop in earnest, I opened my mouth in a daze in surprise at an unexpected event.

The spring water that entered the stomach gradually spread throughout the body, and a warm energy flowed through the body, and it felt tickling.

“What? All of a sudden?”

Suddenly, the body that had been stagnant for so long began to change again.
