Huh?? What is this? (2)
Min-ki’s body was virtually in a semi-spiritual state.

Because of this, I was able to move like a ghost just by willpower.

It took months for me to realize that…

With this small realization, Min-ki started testing various things in this empty space.

‘Hmm… My body(?), my spirit(?), whatever, moves by my will. However, no matter how far I go, this space is endless. This place. However, the starlight seems to be getting closer, and it doesn’t seem to be. It’s really strange. It’s like I’m stuck in a maze.’

……

……

‘The appearance of the Prous race in the Book of Creation is somewhat similar to my current state. Is this perhaps related to soul power? What should I call this? Spiritualization? Spiritualization?’

……

……

‘And yet magic is used. Fire magic can’t be done without air, but light magic like light magic can. Water magic can’t be done either, and elements like wood, metal… and the five elements are all impossible. However, light and dark magic can be done. Is this the space of creation? In the beginning, the roots of the five elements were the original energy of light and darkness. Within this, the five elements were created as a mystery of the universe. And the five elements are again…….’

……

……

‘Then what is mana? Is it the primordial energy? Or is it energy derived from the five elements? It is not the five elements. It is a more primordial existence that predates the five elements. Otherwise, magic would not be used in this space right now.’

……

……

‘In the Book of Changes, it is said that there is something called the Unchangeable, which does not change even in the midst of all changes in all things. Could that be Mana? In the primordial Mana, the Yin and Yang, or the sun and moon, as mentioned in the Book of Changes, appeared……’

Min-ki’s thoughts became deeper and deeper.

This meditation initially began by studying the gaps in this dimension.

For a magician, meditation is a very important act that can expand one’s mental imagery, allow one to contemplate oneself, and penetrate the essence of mana.

However, the meditation is very short.

This has to do with the limitations of one’s spiritual and mental powers, but it also has to do with the environment.

It is because of the relationship we speak of.

Humans are social animals, and as we live, we form relationships.

As the number of connections increases, we become more concerned with relationships with others rather than with our independent selves.

That is why the deceased live alone in places such as deep mountain valleys, cliffs, and waterfalls to attain enlightenment.

Even the most experienced high-level magician would have difficulty sustaining proper meditation for more than a few hours.

The occasional enlightenment you get from reading a martial arts novel or fantasy novel is also an enlightenment of the mind that occurs in meditation.

However, Min-gi unintentionally fell into a rift between these dimensions and is now living in a semi-fluid state.

There is no body, but there is spirit.

This is a space of nothingness.

There is no stimulation, so there is no suffering.

The only thing that exists is mana, or primordial energy.

This is the mystery of the universe. This is the mystery of dimensions.

In this way, Min-ki’s thoughts and reflections deepened in the gap between dimensions.

‘What is a circle made of mana? Why do I have to follow a fixed method called a circle to use magic? What are the 9 circles that I want to reach? Do dragons have circles? Dragons use magic in a form called mana hearts, which are similar to danjeon in some ways. However, human magicians are different. They divide the circles and create layers. That’s why they are obsessed with the height of those layers. There is mana in this space of nothingness. However……… (omitted)……..’

The circle surrounding Min-ki’s heart begins to collapse.

But this is destruction for birth.

The walls of the circle are broken down and filled with new mana.

Like the dragon’s method of mana management, mana is concentrated into a single sphere.

Soon, the small circle grows larger and larger, filling up the entire body.

However, Min-gi is currently in a semi-fluid state and has no physical body.

The concept of ‘filling up’ was meaningless.

But in another way, it’s like filling Min-gi’s body with mana.

Min-gi and Mana have achieved true unity.

Min-ki was lost in thought and didn’t know, but his body was gradually becoming brighter.

It is a brightly shining object with a blurry shape.

Finally, Min-ki got the 9th circle. No, more than that.

– $@원 @#$의#@#가 FINALLY!#@@was%$

‘what?’

– Absorption of dimensional energy is complete.

‘Huh? It’s already been 30 years?’

– 35 years and 123 days have passed.

‘What? Why did it take so long?’

– The absorption of energy ended about 5 years ago.

‘Ah. I guess I was so absorbed in meditation that I didn’t hear you.’

– That’s right. What do you want to do now? Should we go through dimensions again?

‘Yeah. That’s right. But somehow, you seem to have changed. You speak naturally. It’s like you can have a conversation now.’

– I think we can see that we have reached the level of conversation that Min-ki is talking about. Now that Min-ki has obtained the qualifications of an official user,

‘Really? Thanks for that. Is that energy stabilization thing finished?’

– Yes. You are done. Now you can use all the functions of the device.

‘I don’t know about anything else, but I definitely know that among those functions, your AI has become smarter.’

– thank you.

‘Hehehe. This is a world-changing thing. You even respond to something like this. Really~. Am I now a 9th circle magician? I feel like I’ve become stronger than a 9th circle magician? Do you know?’

– Well, the classification of human magic is something I don’t have. I don’t understand the concept of the 9th circle, unless there is a comparison.

‘Hmm. Then do you remember the dragon called Brasinian that we saw last time?’

– Yes. I remember. If you are comparing it to that existence, I expect Min-gi to win by a landslide. Min-gi doesn’t seem to feel it yet, but the magic system he used before is completely different from the current one. It feels almost like the top level of the Prous tribe.

‘Really? Come to think of it, I haven’t used magic before. Can I stay here a little longer?’

– Of course. You can continue to exist for thousands of years. The three ancient races. In particular, the state of the Prous tribe is similar to Min-gi’s current state. Min-gi has now become a being that can live for hundreds of millions of years.

‘Hahaha. This is amazing. I really feel like I’ve become a god.’

Min-gi stayed in the dimensional rift for a few more days, practicing his magic.

Because of the special nature of the space itself, elemental magic was impossible, but other magic was possible.

In the past, to use magic, you had to perform complex calculations and memorize spells.

But now it can be used by will alone.

The dragon’s word magic probably takes this form.

But I still had a habit of doing it, so I felt a little bored without the starter.

Because it is possible to cast it without a sound, I decided to cast it with the starting word as much as possible.

You used magic so hard.

In reality, it is assimilating with mana and moving mana with will.

The systematization of will through mana is magic.

“Let’s go back. Can you send us to Earth?”

– Yes, it is possible.

“Then can you send me back to 2012, when I got into Harvard? Is time jumping still impossible?”

Min-ki spoke using his vocal cords for the first time in a long time.

Now, back on Earth, I deliberately spoke to the divine being to avoid it from becoming ‘stuttered’ due to being unused for so long.

– Wait a minute. Um… The dimensions of Earth and Maldek are still unstable. Time travel will still be difficult. Roughly… Um… It will probably take about 10 years before time travel will be possible again.

“Really? That’s a shame. Well, you’re saying I just have to wait 10 years anyway?”

– Yes, that’s right.

“Then what year is the Earth returning to now?”

– It is February 2056.

“You said it was corrected? Is it the same amount of time I spent here?”

– Only the user’s physical time is corrected. Time in other dimensions is not corrected.

“Well. It’s not important. Okay. Then send me to Earth. I’ll only live for ten years.”

– Yes. Let’s go. Pod~!!!!

Min-ki returned to Earth again.

The location you return to is where the portal was created 35 years and 123 days ago.

After moving, I looked around.

‘It’s just a plain. Were there plains like this in Korea? I remember it being close to the mountains, but it was close to Sejong City, so it was at least like a rural town…’

There was no one around because it was like an empty field.

Min-ki touched his own body.

‘Ah. I can feel it now. Is it because I escaped the dimensional gap? But is it possible to become a spirit here too? Let’s see… How did it feel back then…’

Min-ki’s body began to gradually become translucent, like a ghost.

“Huh? That’s possible. Hahaha. I really have shed my human skin.”

Without even using flying magic, Min-gi flew away like a ghost.

At first, I was so curious that I flew around here and there.

Then, it quickly flew towards the north.

‘The speed is incredible. He must be faster than Superman?? But why do I only see empty fields? Is this Korea? And those things moving around in groups down there all seem to be monsters? Hmm… Has the Earth already been occupied by Maldek? Come to think of it, the mana has also decreased a lot. Now it’s probably 1 vs 3.56?’

After a few minutes, traces of humans finally appeared.

‘Hmm… That looks like the old Gyeongbu Expressway. There aren’t any cars on it. The road is also destroyed. Hehe.’

Going a little further up the highway, you finally see a city where people live.

The city was surrounded by enormous walls, more than 10 meters high.

Even though it is called spiritualization, it is not completely transparent. It is a state of perfect transparency that has been achieved by adjusting mana.

And I watched the city from the sky for a bit.

After a while, a group of about ten people were seen coming out through the gate at the front of the city.

There are barricades piled up so high near the main gate that you can’t move in a straight line, so you have to move around in a zigzag pattern.

“Hey, Captain. Where are we going today?”

“Hmm. If nothing special comes up, I’m thinking of going to Yongyeon Reservoir, which is about 5km away. I heard from another engineering school that they saw a Merman (male mermaid) and a Mermaid (female mermaid) there.”

“Oh. Mermaid. This could be worth some money.”

“That’s when you come back alive. Everyone, take care of yourselves. There’s a rumor that an ogre family has been seen near the Cheonan Fortress. Everyone, be on your guard. Got it?”

“Don’t worry. Cowardly Captain. Hehehe.”

“Shut up~!”

As it is still near the city called ‘Cheonan’, no one is particularly careful about going there.

Looking closely, there are 11 people in total.

The person called the company commander takes the lead, and behind him, 2-3 people form a line and move in 4 rows.

They walk while chatting, but they are a relatively disciplined group.

Everyone is armed with swords, axes, spears, etc.

There were also two people carrying large shields, and three people carrying staffs like wizards.

But even that staff is like a slender spear.

If it weren’t for the crystal ball the size of an adult’s fist attached to the top, it would look like a slightly shorter spear rather than a staff.

Min-ki continued to move following the group.

Even though they continued to follow us from about 100 meters above the ground, no one seemed to feel any discomfort.

Well, it would be funny if Min-ki got caught, considering his skills.

Min-ki followed the group of monster hunters for almost the entire day.

I estimated the current situation based on the magic, artifacts, martial arts, and conversations they use.

The leader of the group was a man named Choi Hyeon-sik, and unfortunately, they did not find any mermen or mermaids at Yongyeon Reservoir.

Even excluding the fact that it was fresh water, it was a reservoir that was too small for a species living along the coast to survive in.

Those who ended up being disappointed hunted other monsters in the area.

It was a group that could easily compete with medium-sized groups.

It seemed like a group of people with roughly 4 circles, intermediate to advanced expert level.

The youngest one, who seemed to have slightly lower skills, was in the 3rd circle or lower expert level.

At this level, you can catch a medium-sized monster without taking any damage.

No, if you just reinforce the firepower a little, you can even hunt large animals.

However, the condition is that there must be no other monsters around.

‘If these skilled people form a group and hunt, there’s a high chance that a large monster, or at least a super-large one, has appeared. Well, it’s already been 35 years. It wouldn’t be strange if a dragon appeared… It seems like it’s going to be going around, so should I join in?’

Min-gi guessed the direction they were going and the location of the city, and then flew ahead.

And then we lit a bonfire in a suitable place and waited for them.

After about 10 to 20 minutes, I was able to naturally meet up with the group I had been watching all day.

“Huh? It’s a person.”

“What? That’s right. But you’re alone? What’s going on?”

“What is that guy? He’s even lighting a fire? Is he crazy?”
