Newbie Life of a Former Ranker

“Translate.”

At the owner’s short command, the Book of Truth interprets “Light” again.

Level up, increased intelligence, senses, information, and knowledge accumulated while using magic… … . All of them were melted into the material of the truth.

It took a few seconds for the complex patterns and formulas floating on the Book of Truth to get entangled in a mess.

[The interpretation limit of [Light] has been reached.]

[Implementation proficiency increases by 1.8%.]

The book of truth was interpreted in an instant.

The level was also set, and the accumulated things were put into the analysis.

I knew right away when I cycled the mana.

That his level of ‘magic’ had already exceeded 2 stars.

‘In addition, if my prediction is correct, I can use more powerful magic while the Book of Truth is unfolded.’

I lived a long time as a wizard in LOST.

With that experience, Dojin was able to feel a clear difference between when he used magic and when he used it in the [Book of Truth] state.

I activated [Light] with confidence.

A dot of light appeared in the air.

One, two, three.

Even if it was basic magic, and even if it was the same magic, it was never easy to cast multiple overlapping spells.

Especially if it was a magician who had recently pierced the magic circuit.

‘Put three spells at the same time?’

So, Sisala’s surprise was natural.

This was because even as a 4-star wizard, the number of magics that could be overlapped was 4 1-star magic.

However, Dojin did not stop there and continued to try to capture the light.

At first, the magic circuit reached its limit and screamed, but soon the Book of Truth absorbed mana instead of the magic circuit and completed the spell.

‘Also.’

Casting much faster and more stable than when just casting.

As a result, Dojin was able to take as many as 6 light points.

There was nothing but astonishment in Sisala’s eyes, already looking at Dojin.

It was Beomjae’s eyes that witnessed his overwhelming talent.

‘This will make me more confident about my relationship with Shion Grace.’

Do-jin took a step forward, thinking about the side benefits that dramatic directing would bring.

Then, the surrounding mana began to fluctuate violently.

The magic circle sensed someone approaching and woke up and started doing what it had to do.

However, Do-jin has already eliminated all the evil spirits that the magic circle should absorb.

With nothing to swallow, the magic circle roared in regret and vomited out the evil spirits it contained.

-Turn it off

Ear curve that seems to have been raised from the bottom.

The first named monster in ＜The Magic Workshop Encroached by Evil＞, ‘Shadow Living in Malice’, appeared with a large silhouette.

That moment.

Right.

Dojin’s fingers interlocked and a refreshing sound rang out, and a light spot the size of a pinhole exploded.

The [Light], which poured mana incomparably to anything I had used so far, gave off an intense light.

The natural enemies of darkness, shadow, and injustice have always been holy and light.

‘Shadow living with malice’ has ‘shadow’ embedded in its name, so it was only natural that it would shrink in front of the intense light.

Seeing that the hugely inflated silhouette had shrunk to less than half, Dojin shouted.

“Sissala!”

Without missing the moment, 4-star magic was manifested according to Do-jin’s signal.

This time, instead of aiming for a wide range, it was a single magic aiming at a single target.

《Fire Blast》

The moment he was hit by a 4-star single attack magic in a weakened state due to exposure to the light attribute, he fell into Groggy and was completely annihilated by a series of explosions like firecrackers.

The magic circle also disappeared, and the flow of mana that the magic circle was gathering changed.

Dark and sticky mana began to flow in the direction of the magic circle that had not yet been destroyed.

“Whoops, whoops, whoops.”

Shisala exhales from the tension and surprise of Do-jin.

On the other hand, Do-jin, who turned around after unlocking the 「Book of Truth」, was very calm.

‘What’s so difficult about a dungeon like this?’

To him, who had to deal with a far more powerful enemy under incomparably worse conditions, this level was nothing new and natural.

[Sissala Omen’s affinity has increased by 3 points to 28.]

But that’s Dojin’s impression.

It seems that Sisala’s impression was different.

The system message informed that Sisala’s favorability rating had risen, perhaps due to the overwhelming talent.

‘This is an unexpected income.’

An increase in evaluation and favorability are slightly different issues.

‘Is he a great guy?’ This is because if you have jealousy or a desire to keep in check, your liking may rather go down.

However, Sisala’s favorability increased.

This meant that there was ample room for improvement in favorability in the future.

As long as you have the fraudulent ability of [Book of Truth], you will be able to act as a genius mage for a while.

‘Honestly, even if that kind of look is a little burdensome… Sisala Omen is worth it.’

Do-jin avoided Sisala’s eyes looking at him.

What emotion should I call that?

It won’t be a single emotion.

These eyes are filled with all sorts of emotions, such as envy, envy, and sadness.

What was certain was the kind of eyes that were hard to see.

“Is Mana okay?”

To change the mood, Do-jin asked about Sisala’s mana status.

“… It’s still okay. About half. No, I think I have a little more left.”

“Half. Then, it would be good to take a break here. It’s okay right now, but when the battle heats up, you never know when it will become a problem.”

“Ah yes.”

Dojin sat down in a suitable place as soon as he finished speaking.

Then he took out a wizard’s tobacco and smoked it, closing his eyes.

Burning grass with mana and closing your eyes are all routines that speed recovery.

Do-jin, who comfortably closed his eyes, focused on the scent of burning tobacco.

The heart rate, which had risen due to the excitement of battle, returns to its original place, and the mana recovery efficiency is stabilized and accelerated accordingly.

It was a kind of mind control technique that intentionally quickly entered a stable state.

[The 「Meditation」 skill has been created.]

Thanks to repeating the same routine whenever there was a chance, 「Meditation」, which affects mana recovery and efficiency, was created.

The moment the skill was created, golden light rose softly from Dojin’s eyes and magic circuit.

It was a phenomenon that occurred when the newly acquired skill was recorded in the Book of Truth.

‘It was created faster than I thought.’

Dojin, who checked the status window and skill window with her eyes closed, continued to focus on recovery.

Satisfied with the slightly faster mana recovery rate than before.

* * *

Seeing Dojin sit down, Sisala hesitated and took a seat a little further away.

Her sloppy posture was because her thoughts and gaze were all focused on Dojin.

‘What the hell was that just about? Is what I saw really true?’

Sisala had a mountain of questions she wanted to ask.

But I couldn’t ask.

Because questions about magical visions are taboo in the wizarding world.

Her gaze continued toward Dojin out of unbearable curiosity.

The book that was forged with golden mana. What was it?

‘Unique magic? Or is it an artifact that is equivalent to an ancient relic?’

I came up with this and that hypothesis, but whatever it was, it clashed with Sisala’s common sense.

It makes no sense for a 1-star wizard to use unique magic.

However, it makes no sense to think of it as a relic-level artifact.

I’ve never heard of a relic that’s easy enough for someone with incompetence to activate.

‘Still, one thing is certain. Magic or whatever… That it has something to do with Shion.’

Where could he have obtained such an ability after breaking through a magic circuit not too long ago?

It is the Manli Library that I entered as soon as I became a wizard after breaking through the magic circuit.

And Shion-nim’s wooden ring, which was given to Do-jin right before he entered it.

It was an item given directly by Shion-nim. It couldn’t have been anything out of the ordinary.

‘There is a high probability that it was the key needed to enter a space that requires Shion-sama’s permission that no one else can access.’

If this prediction is correct, it must be the place where the archmage’s vision is hidden.

I was guessing, but at some point, I saw golden mana flowing in Dojin’s eyes and magic circuit.

As a wizard, Sisala knew that this was a phenomenon that occurs when a wizard attains some kind of enlightenment.

That means that he was thinking about magic even at this moment when he was taking a short break after the exhausting battle.

About the magic you just unleashed? About the destroyed magic circle? Or something else.

No matter what it was, that person was craving magic without resting even for a moment.

‘Like an idiot. That’s why there is no progress.’

Apart from his relationship with the great wizard Shion Grace, that person’s talent is real.

Even such a person is working hard like that, what am I doing?

Sisala closed her eyes.

I focused on the magic circuit and started meditating.

Her thoughts were erased, and thoughts about magic filled her head.

* * *

Thanks to gaining 「Meditation」, Do-jin, who recovered faster than expected, opened his eyes.

‘Is it yet?’

Sisala still had her eyes closed.

Seeing the weakly flickering light of the magic circuit, she seemed to be meditating as well.

After waiting for a while, she opened her eyes too.

“Shall we go?”

“yes.”

The aisles became increasingly complex.

The area where the magic circle was still active was infested with evil spirits, and there were also magical traps set by the owner of the workshop.

However, it was not enough to change the big frame of the strategy.

It was the same demon anyway, and it was the same dungeon.

‘It seems that demons are dying more and more.’

To the extent that Sisala thought this way, the attack became easier and easier.

It was thanks to the rising level of Do-jin, who plays the role of weakening the evil spirits.

When the second magic circle and named monsters were discovered and dealt with, Dojin’s level became 27, and the third time it became 30.

Now, the level difference with the monsters I’m hunting is not much, so the level up speed has slowed down, but the hidden dungeon bonus was so great that I wiped out the 4th and 5th zones, so I went up to level 32.

’32 la. Even if it’s close enough, I can decorate the end with this.’

With all the points he gained, Do-jin, who went all-in on his intelligence this time, smiled.

It was because the scenario I liked the most out of all the scenarios I had hypothesized while planning to attack the ＜Magic Workshop Encroached by Evil＞ unfolded.

‘Honestly, I didn’t think that even a hidden dungeon would be able to exceed 30 in one dungeon.’

Entering level 30.

This was the minimum condition that Do-jin thought could decorate the end of ＜The Magic Workshop Encroached by Evil＞ without Sisala’s help.
