The Academy’s Neglected Wizard in the Game

Episode 4 – That High Tower of Arrogance

#One

The tower of Mythos Academy was a symbol of arrogance to push away the nature created by God.

The arrogance that humans with magic, swords, and shields can conquer all.

The god of death, enraged at the act, cursed and made the ziggurat tall and rugged.

From here, the game begins in earnest with the ‘Demons’ coming out.

In this world, the two moons are said to symbolize the eyes of the god of death.

Like the werewolf story, the moon of the Lux continent also had a strange power.

‘Certainly, the air is different.’

Manus looked up at the tower in a completely different world.

the other side of the world.

Like the world of shadows, the cesspit holding up the world.

All kinds of negative things gathered to create a solid foundation, and death landed there.

“hmm… … .”

Upon entering the entrance, he was greeted by a much larger lobby than he had expected.

A golden clock nestled in the center.

The clock with only six digits began to move.

In the early days of the game, you only have six hours to explore the underworld.

‘Has time already begun to turn?’

Looking out the window, the flowing clouds and flags fluttering in the wind all stopped.

A space where only thick mana and the energy of death lurk.

Manus moved his feet without hesitation in this grotesque and terrifying space.

He was strangely calm, even in an atmosphere in which a normal person would be terrified and do nothing.

As expected, it must be because of ‘Caesar’s mindset’.

‘I’ve perfectly memorized the way to the 5th floor-.’

5th floor.

It’s a perfect tutorial section, and it’s also a section with a mini-boss.

In addition, it was also a space where one could obtain a hidden piece to prevent future disasters.

“Shall we go?”

I moved to the stairs in the center.

The god of death gave his own life to the desolate world.

Placing his alter ego in each district and building up the residents with countless negative energies.

The first zone is-.

“-The labyrinth of nightmares.”

The name of its inhabitants is Daemon.

He was the main enemy of this game, hating the humans living in the light.

A daemon lurking in the darkness aimed at the player’s back, and the winding labyrinth invoked a curse.

It’s a very chewy game that also has a very good time attack system, which is common in classic games.

The maze was completely random, but there was a fixed route up to the first 5 floors.

Of course, Manus had memorized all the ways.

‘Seeing it in real life is even creepier.’

As much as the horror genre is included, the inside of the nightmare labyrinth was dark.

Jerk-.

The sound of footsteps was unusually loud.

I imagined the daemons giggling and laughing.

Manus calmly checked his mana and checked the magic he could use.

Magic was classified by class, but only 1 class magic could be used.

The four major attributes are fire, wind, lightning, and ice.

Darkness and light, named for black magic and divine magic.

Physical magic that simply uses mana to give physical shock.

And an ancient magic that can be learned with Hidden Peace.

In Manus’ head, the knowledge accumulated by the owner of the previous body naturally came to mind.

It was also confirmed that the knowledge could be used skillfully.

[hmm?]

[Hmm?]

“It’s here.”

The inhabitants of the tower appeared.

Each area was created in the image of Tarot and the demon in the image of Trump.

Demons in each district are affected by the arcana that dwells in the district.

[Nightmare’s Labyrinth] is the area of wizards, chariots, temperance, and the emperor.

Intuitively, it was praised for being a monster with a unique personality.

[hmm!]

[Mummum!]

＜Wizard – 10＞

[Speciality: Close combat using four arms]

[Attribute: Fire]

[Weakness: Cold]

The game is turn-based, but battles take place in real time here.

Manus added tension to fill the gap.

It’s not a game where you just blankly press the pad.

This was a reality where you had to move your body.

The order came to mind.

Ice attribute 1 class magic.

[Glach]

Hard-.

A white flower bloomed in my hand.

The feeling of draining mana was so foreign that it made me sick to my stomach.

However, it does not stop.

He is Caesar.

It was the blood of a great conqueror.

[Mum-!]

[hmm!]

It was creepy to spit out strange noises on the subject of wizards.

Even the stagnant water in the first battle made me tremble.

Unlike his excited mind, his body moved calmly.

The flowers that bloomed softly landed on the enemy’s mask.

Just as the cherry blossoms in full bloom are blown away by the wind, so did the flower he held out.

Jjeouk-.

Demon’s face cracked.

“This… … It’s good as it is.”

Although it is said to be the weakest demon for the most basic magic, the main character also died after spending about two turns.

The result of consuming a small amount of mana was very satisfactory.

At this level, would it be different from starting at around level 10 of the main character?

That’s why the passive is a fraudulent skill.

The mana inside the demon was crystallized and scattered.

hearthstone.

It is the driving force of growth and is necessary for raising the level of the main character.

It adopted the system of the popular soul game.

[Magic Stone S]

Curiously, the item name floated in a translucent state.

It’s just like a game again.

Manus laughed.

game and reality.

What should I really accept?

‘If it’s real, get rid of all these things.’

It’s real, but it’s like a game.

So it might make you act more recklessly.

Manus continued on his way.

Anyway, this labyrinth will return to its original state after a day.

It means that you don’t have to worry about stealing experience points for the main character to eat.

Manus continued to use magic.

The feeling of mana draining out, the feeling of magic blooming at your fingertips.

sense of killing enemies.

‘To get used to this world, I have to experience a lot of everything.’

Caesar’s mindset.

The conqueror’s vessel was large and massive.

Filling that large bowl would require a great deal of experience, knowledge, and strength.

Manus moved without hesitation.

“Is the first floor over already?”

The pockets were thick.

Time had just passed about 20 minutes.

Are you buying too much?

Recalling the overwhelming frequency, he smiled.

If it wasn’t for the interference with the original character, it would have been nice to live slowly learning skills.

It didn’t seem like this world and that letter would make him feel at ease, but-.

Waiting for the peace that will come one day, he climbed the stairs.

#2

Alano was standing in the middle of the huge lobby.

It’s so fast that I don’t even know how I got here.

The world turned upside down, and the flowing air stopped.

The place she followed as if possessed was not the world she knew.

Confused for a while, Alano started snooping here and there.

‘Why is this place… … I don’t think this is the world I used to know.’

The mindset to find out why such a world existed in Mitos Academy and whether there were any dangers came to the fore.

She was the sophomore student council president.

If it’s an anomaly that happened inside the academy, shouldn’t the existence be reported?

‘Why did Manus know about this place?’

“no way… … You know from Caesar?”

no, it can’t be

Manus was also a student like her.

He must have secretly dispatched a competent person, but he would send Manus, who was still a student, here.

A space where the concentration of mana is so thick that it is difficult to breathe.

Throwing a direct descendant alone in such a dangerous place was like cutting power.

Alano looked at the space above the stairs that opened up like the entrance to an abyss.

If the gates of hell were opened, that would be the feeling.

There was no sign of anything in the lobby.

Did Manus go in alone?

Anxiety and curiosity crept in.

‘Should I call support?’

I wanted to go in alone, but I couldn’t bear to leave.

She knew it was crazy to go in here alone.

But why?

She took a slow step and looked back.

last year.

Manus became a tyrant.

Awe, fear, respect… … Maybe I was enjoying those feelings.

But beneath those eyes was a deep sadness.

The gap between her childhood memories and the reunited Manus was too great, so she couldn’t approach her hastily.

It was as if I had become a different person, maybe it was a bit scary.

Manus strangely tried to lord it over others.

As if Manus himself was aware of them, he had always walked the campus alone.

why-?

I’m only thinking about it now, but maybe it’s because he knew this place alone.

‘I’m giving up on love… … If that’s the case, it’s understandable that you’re deliberately going to be alone.’

Alano had been watching him for a long time and from afar.

As the second-in-class and student president, my classmates were precious.

Also, because I was curious.

Unlike when I was young, why did I change like this?

As I pondered in this space, I began to vaguely understand his actions.

There are such people.

The one who walks carrying all the burdens alone.

A person who honestly tries to shoulder his burden even in loneliness and hardship.

Perhaps, Manus was not such a person.

“As expected, it would be better to help.”

There is no one by their side.

Because no one wants to be around someone who refuses love and attention.

After all, humans want to be rewarded.

“Are you a childhood friend? I cannot leave you alone.”

She is the eldest daughter of a family comparable to Caesar.

His magical talent was superior to anyone else’s, and he received a class capable of defeating any monster.

gulp-.

It was difficult to step into the abyss where one could not see an inch ahead.

However, Manus must have walked this place calmly.

“She’s the eldest daughter of the Harrison family. There is no need to be scared in a place like this.”

As if determined, she strode into the ziggurat.

The abyss sucked her in.

#3

5th floor.

Manus reached this point by absorbing the magic stones.

Originally, it was the section facing the first boss, but today’s goal was not to face the boss.

Turning around, I was able to find and enter the space that was originally a school.

aka ‘relaxation space’.

There was a school space untainted by arrogance and curses.

It was completely random, so if it was a luck factor, not knowing which one would win was an element.

Utility room, laundry room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom, study room, teacher’s room.

“hmm… … Is it the utility room this time?”

Seven rooms provided distinctive buffs.

The utility room is a simple shop.

The laundry room repairs the durability of armor and weapons.

The cafeteria restores physical strength, the kitchen boosts attack power and defense power, the bedroom restores mana, the laboratory synthesizes items, and the teacher office replaces members.

‘It caught just right.’

Kik-.

What was visible through the open door was a long table and various items.

If you insert the magic stone, the lock will be unlocked.

But, I’m not here to get this today, so pass-.

“Is this it?”

Inside the utility room.

As I rummaged through the musty dust, I caught a small wire.

A thin, cold feel.

Later, someone discovers this and awakens it into a very powerful object.

“You kindly explain that. The game was quite nice.”

I don’t know if the villain is stupid or kind, but-.

It seems that it is national rule to brag about everything and die.

A small pendant that has been neglected for a long time.

An ancient item with someone’s resentment.

[Orca’s Necklace]

[It’s an old necklace. An unknown pattern is drawn.]

The explanation is simple.

The unknown pattern symbolizes 13 of the 21 pictures of the Tarot.

The secret of Orca’s necklace was in those 13 Tarot.

A pendant that allows you to harvest the soul of a Tarot named demon or higher by killing it.

‘With this, I’ll be able to twist the possibilities.’

Manus put the pendant around his neck.

This action will start the cogwheels of variables rolling.

No one knows where the hands of the clock, which will run through the gears, will stop.

However, if the original tragic event could be prevented, he was willing to endure the unpredictable direction.

Manus himself is an extra.

A person who creates a world in a place where the main character does not play an active role.

If that’s the case, then you should do something that’s right for that role.

“You must be good at it.”

As I leave the utility room, I rack my brain.

No one listened, and no one gave an answer.

The person who seeks the answer to the question must be himself.

Manus quietly left the ziggurat.

I didn’t know.

Butterflies were already flying because of him.

one day.

A huge typhoon created by 24 hours was approaching.

―――――――!!

I heard a sound from below.

A voice that shouldn’t be heard.

Also, she didn’t listen and followed him.

Manus’ steps quickened.
