Episode 3 – Grave of the Young Mage (1)

It’s already been two weeks since I started swinging my sword.

I felt like my body had become pretty solid thanks to the constant exercise and swinging of the sword without being lazy.

I felt as if my body had subtly become lighter.

‘Status window.’

[Han Siwoo]

Strength 8

Strength 6

Agility 7

Power 1

Overall Ability [D]

His overall ability was still D-class, but he showed his own growth.

It would rise quickly to 10, but if the average stat rises to 11 and becomes C-class, the speed at which it will become much stronger than it is now will slow down.

“There are two weeks left… ….”

You need to eat well to grow up…. I was a beggar

I had no choice but to buy something suitable for each meal.

In the first place, Han Si-woo’s setting itself is that he lost his parents when he was quite young, so having a lot of money is more strange.

‘It will be better if I enter the dormitory after entering.’

It seems that all tuition has already been paid.

… So you have no money?

Anyway, I’m running a little late, but I think I should do something with [Insensitivity to Mana].

Even if you get [Master of Swordsmanship], If it’s too late, your magic stat will be too low, so it’ll be similar.

From noble mtl dot com

I’ve been practicing my swordsmanship quite hard for a while, so it’ll probably be fine.

‘Because if it’s really dangerous, I can just run away.’

I think it would be better to go right away while making up your mind.

I stopped at home, took out a real sword I had never wielded, and set out on the road.

The place I will go from now on is the [Tomb of the Young Wizard].

The famous mage took off the essence of his mana when he died and passed it on to his disciple.

The young wizard gratefully received the essence, and decided to absorb the essence after first becoming strong enough to accept the power of the essence.

Unfortunately, however, the young mage’s talent was hopeless, so he couldn’t become strong enough to accept the essence, and he died of mana reflux while trying to force himself to absorb the essence.

Thanks to the death of a young mage trying to forcefully absorb the essence, the essence burst and the dungeon is filled with mana.

It is said that [Insensitivity to mana] Gradually disappears just by being in that place, and the mana gradually builds up.

It is a place with a story that is both funny and pitiful….

No matter how talented he was, he was probably a wizard, but he had his dwelling set up in a dungeon-like format.

It was said that the difficulty level was low and that if the average stat was around 6, it would be possible to beat it, but I am scared.

‘In my heart, I wanted to take all 8’s except magic power… ….’

Now, even if it’s scary, I can’t delay the time.

Even if you don’t want to go, you have to go.

[The Tomb of the Young Wizard] Is located not too far from the house.

Because it’s right next door to the sewer.

On the way, I was hungry, so I bought a skewer and ran the happy circuit in my head.

When [Insensitivity to mana] Disappears, you will naturally gain [Genius of Swordsmanship], And then you will be able to grow at a tremendous speed along with the magical power you can handle.

When I get stronger, I should meet Park Se-rin.

After walking with many thoughts, I arrived at the entrance of the sewer before I knew it.

The nasty smell stings my nose, but what can I do? Can only go in.

I covered my nose with one hand and turned on the flashlight I had brought with the other hand.

Even if it’s a dungeon, it’s at the end of the sewer, so there’s no need to be vigilant from the beginning.

I almost fell several times because of the dirty water, but as I managed to walk away, I suddenly felt a strange feeling in the air.

‘Is this mana?’

My body feels a little tingly.

Even though he had [Insensitivity to Mana], He could only vaguely feel it when he came to a place where this much mana was compressed.

In reality, [Insensitivity to mana] Should have gradually disappeared as mana was being hammered into his body.

Clap.

I heard the sound of a mechanical device.

Shook!

The arrow flew.

But…

“… ?”

The trap was so poorly made that the arrow flew to the wrong place and got stuck.

‘Actually, it might be a high-level design.’

I think it was to hit people who were trying to avoid hearing only the sound.

It may have induced your carelessness…….

Anyway, it looks like you entered the dungeon in earnest, so you really have to be vigilant.

He took over the flashlight with his left hand, which had been covering his nose, and drew the sword with his right hand.

As I started to concentrate while walking while thinking about other things, I suddenly felt that I was quiet.

The light from the flashlight did not reach the end of the sewer, and only my footsteps echoed quietly in the dark sewer.

Even those footsteps are reduced as much as possible and walk slowly.

Now that I can’t see well and even my sense of smell is useless due to the disgusting smell of sewage, the thing I can rely on the most is my hearing.

As I progressed little by little like that, I was knocked from the front again. I heard the sound of the device, and it flew with the sound of cutting the wind.

I was taken aback by the arrow that felt faster than before, but calmly swung my sword and struck the arrow.

“Wow f*ck. This really sucks.”

To be honest, I didn’t expect it to be real.

After that, arrows flew several times, but all of them were safely knocked out.

I don’t know if the young wizard designed it wrong or if he made it like this on purpose because he didn’t want to kill people, but all of them flew to places like shoulders and thighs.

[You have achieved the condition and acquired the attribute ‘Sharp Sense’.]

“Oh.”

After a long time of concentrating and vigilantly advancing, a new characteristic was created.

[Sharp Sense] Is more backwards compatible than [Sixth Sense] Among my still undeveloped traits, but it’s a pretty good trait that appears several times in [Oeyoungdo] And [Arkanac Castle].

Basically, the senses of the whole body become much more sensitive, so even if you don’t pay attention, you can react more quickly to approaching signs or attacks.

Around the time I was rejoicing at acquiring a new attribute, something approached me, snapping in front of me.

When I shined my flashlight, I saw a huge lump of earth with limbs approaching.

“It’s a dirt golem.”

The young wizard was so talented that it was impossible to make a golem out of metal or rock.

That’s why it must have been an earthen golem made of clay.

The earth golem’s attack power is not very high and its speed is slow, so there is no need to be very nervous.

Even the magic barrier that golems are basically surrounded by has all melted because of the thick mana that spreads in the air.

With his posture lowered, he grabbed the flashlight in reverse and held it above his right shoulder, holding the sword in his right hand high as he waited for the golem to attack.

The golem walked slowly and finally lifted one arm to attack.

Booung! Swung

No matter how much mud it is, there is a huge amount of it clumped together, and if you swing it at that speed, it can’t help but be intimidating.

Reviving the memory of learning boxing before being possessed, I stepped backward and avoided it lightly.

The golem’s arm cut through the air and collided with the wall of the sewer.

Looking at it this way, it seems like I’ve already lost the use of one arm, but it’s not.

The first thing that comes to mind when thinking of golems is that if the core is not destroyed, everything will be restored.

I managed to catch a golem-type boss monster in a game when I was young, but I couldn’t break the core, so I cried out when I saw that everything was restored.

As expected, the sticky mud on the wall floated in the air and returned to the broken arm, gradually regaining its original shape.

If you wait until you fully recover, it will never end.

Raised his sword towards the golem and charged.

The golem swung the other arm, but I almost rolled on the ground and ducked under the golem’s swinging arm.

In martial arts novels, this kind of appearance is called Naryetagon and is said to be very unsightly, but honestly, it’s not my business.

I have no eyes to see, and I am in a hurry to live right now, but there was no way I could care about such things.

I thrust my sword through the golem’s armpit and cut it straight through.

One of the golem’s arms was cut off and fell to the ground, and I tried to swing the still-repairing arm again, but I was faster.

Most of the golem’s core is embedded in the middle of its chest.

I plunged my sword into the earth golem’s chest.

Even if it was a golem, the material was clay, so the sword could easily get stuck in it.

And as expected, the golem stopped moving and melted as it was.

“Oh dear.”

Because of being so close to the golem, I couldn’t help but get mud on my body.

[Muscle strength increases by 1.]

[Agility increases by 1.]

[Continuous contact with mana increases magic power by 1.]

I knew I would become stronger than before I came here, but I rose more than I thought.

“As expected, actual combat is the best for improving specs.”

[Continuously absorbs mana, reducing the effect of the attribute ‘Insensitivity to Mana’.]

“Oh”

It was a while to be happy that the long-awaited [Mana Insensitivity] Had finally weakened.

“Ugh… !”

This is a place overflowing with mana because the essence of a famous mage was broken.

It was difficult for me to get used to it, having just begun to vaguely feel mana.

“I should move after I get used to it… ….”

First of all, I think it would be better to sit down and take a little break.

I sat down on the floor and my buttocks were damp from the water from the drain, but I didn’t care much because my whole body was already wet with sweat.

They say this place is full of mana, but I can’t stay here too long.

The fact that the young wizard couldn’t accept all of it means that I can’t become a vessel that can receive and eat all the mana here.

Absorb the broken essence fragments as quickly as possible to get rid of [Insensitivity to Mana] And leave.
