Only I Am Magic Tower Chapter 335
Epilogue 1
After Yushin disappeared, a year passed.
More than billions of people died and invaluable infrastructure was destroyed.
But those who survived rose up like weeds, as always. Anyway, I had to live.
Humanity has been completely liberated from disaster. Cracks were still appearing, but showed a steady decreasing trend. Scientists predicted that the crack phenomenon would completely disappear from the Earth within five years at the earliest.
Accordingly, the demand from hunters naturally decreased. The awakened people are no longer obsessed with the job of being a hunter and have found their own work.
Society returned and the economy revived.
People are adapting to a new era free from disaster.
of course.
“Whoa, haha.”
Some people still work hard to become stronger.
A red-haired woman coming down the stairs, breathing heavily and sweating profusely.
It was Hong Yeon, the former president of the association.
“Hello! You’re here just in time, right?”
As Hongyeon was wiping the sweat from her forehead with a towel, someone sitting at the table in the break room waved their hand. Hongyeon’s face widened.
“Jimbora Hunter! You don’t have to come here so often…”
“Oh, really. I’m from the academy. How long are you going to call me that harshly?”
Jin Jin-ra grumbled and opened the lid of the lunch box.
“Okay, I made a lunch box with a high protein diet, so eat some.”
“Oh, thank you.”
The two sat down and ate together. Jin Jin-ra looked at every nook and cranny of her condition and said.
“Oh my gosh, look at the dark circles and weight loss. Please take a break and do it.”
Hongyeon shook her head at Jin Jin-ra’s scolding.
“I am here because I owe my life to my senior. I don’t know what kind of pain he is going through at this very moment, but I can’t rest in peace alone.”
“…I hear that all the time.”
As he said, Hongyeon has not rested even for a single day in the past year.
Jin Jin-ra sighed softly as she watched her quickly stuffing her food into her mouth, not even wasting time eating.
“You look just like a female Kim Yu-shin.”
Hongyeon burst out laughing at those words, covering her mouth.
“It’s not an honorable nickname.”
“Ahaha!”
Still, since he was working so hard to save Yushin, Jinbo was also supporting Hongyeon with all his heart.
“Please tell me a little about the members.”
“Um, I guess so?”
Yushin disappeared, but somehow the world moved on.
Jeong Seo-jin, who became the next Mage Tower leader, quickly put the organization in order.
In place of the disappeared Magic Tower, a large tower building was built in Sanggye-dong and the group is being operated. Recently, we are in the process of building a monster defense system that replaces hunters based on Android Adam.
Eunsol returned to school life like any other child her age.
Except for Yushin, she used to act askew, but it seems like she’s made a lot of friends recently, and she often sends Jin Jin-ra pictures she took while going to the beach or Carnival Land.
Ha Ye-rin is growing Cheongongseong into an independent force and is focusing her efforts on hunting down the remnants of Mine. She is currently challenging the world guild with Jeong Seo-jin’s permission.
Instead of returning to Tanzania, Samia remained in Korea and led the warpgate project. And he became the CEO of ‘Gate’, the next-generation flagship business within the Mtop Group. She seemed to feel a sense of reward and mission in uniting her world.
Cha Do-yeon has been promoted to level 2 public servant, and is now about to be promoted to the next president of the association, who is the first wizard to have gone beyond the position of Minister of Magic.
Pharaoh Han Yun-jeong has stopped conquering Africa and is carrying out a large-scale reconstruction project in Africa. Now she has become the ‘strongest human being’ in name and reality, and is balancing her power by checking the self-righteousness of the United States and China.
Shin Nara, the CEO of Garam Management, operates a retraining system for hunters. As the threat from monsters has decreased, we are helping retiring hunters to enter society with decent jobs.
Although everyone was living their daily lives faithfully, there was one voice from everyone.
-I feel empty.
-I feel like there’s a hole in my heart.
전원의 상실감은, 아직도 회복되지 않았다.
Jinbo-ra, who was telling the members’ stories like that, suddenly felt that the atmosphere was going down and quickly changed the topic.
“How about circles?”
“Now it’s circle 6.”
Reaching the 6th circle in just one year, wizards around the world were beyond amazed when they saw Hongyeon.
Her accomplishments were so remarkable that one wonders why she learned magic only now.
“But as expected, creation is difficult.”
Jin Jin-ra suddenly noticed mana debris falling from the ceiling and raised his head. A 7-circle magic circle was drawn on the ceiling.
Practicing while eating… … .
“It makes me respect other wizards. How could they reach this level without even having the Guardian trait?”
“A talented person will never understand.”
The two people ate together and laughed about various stories.
Perhaps because we shared a topic that was like an inexhaustible fountain called Kim Yu-shin, there were many areas where we had common conversations.
“Now that I think about it, what about your husband?”
Jin Jin-ra’s expression, who had been speaking elegantly, suddenly became crumpled.
“Don’t even bring up that story. It’ll make me feel bad.”
“……Ahaha.”
Hongyeon burst out in sweat and laughed.
“Anyway, I really enjoyed the meal. Thank you. I’ll go up now.”
“I need some digestion as well.”

“Once you start training, you will digest it.”
Jin Jin-ra sighed as if she had lifted both hands and feet.
“I’ll be back.”
Hongyeon walked up the stairs again and went up to the training ground.
Numerous magic training tools were lined up in a large, soundproof space.
And in the middle of it all, I saw a woman sleeping, stretched out on the floor matrix. Hongyeon approached her and shook her awake.
“Sir. It’s training time.”
“Uh, huh?”
The woman stood up, rubbing her eyes.
“Ugh! Has it already been that long?”
‘The strongest wizard of the current generation who has reached the 6th circle.’ Certified Level 1 Kim Sarang scratched her messy hair.
“You’re really suffering from a poisonous disease, too. On a human level, let’s get some rest. Then, you’ll get sick.”
“We will increase your tuition fee by 150% today.”
“Let’s begin, disciple.”
Kim Sarang got up at the speed of light and sat in front of her. Then, belatedly, she covered her face with her palms, perhaps out of embarrassment.
“You are stronger as a wizard now. Why do you need my help so much?”
“The teacher is the only one who can keep up with me.”
“I heard they only let you on a plane in situations like this.”
Kim Sarang smiled bitterly and raised her arms.
A magic circle was drawn in the air.
“Let’s begin.”
“yes!”
The days of hellish training continued.
Hong Yeon even gave up her red light to become a wizard.
“Fail again!”
I worked hard to death.
Not a minute or a second was wasted.
Training during the day.
At night, I stayed in the conscious world using Instance Requiem on my own to get hints from the 7th Circle.
Her ultimate goal was the ‘chaos’ of the 8th circle, and that was the only way to cut down Nemesis, which Yushin had sealed with his entire body. Yushin was giving her time to grow.
In addition, Yushin, who had prepared for such a situation, took out the materials from the main study on the second floor and stored them in the arcane, and even left behind a ‘revised edition of the basics of magic’ that he himself wrote.
Hongyeon looked and looked again and again until the book became dirty and dirty, seeking enlightenment. It was a difficult level to achieve even with her guardian abilities, but she did not give up.
And so several more months passed. Hongyeon finally became an 8th circle wizard who could use ‘Chaos’.
Without any time to like it, she ran home. For the first time in a long time, she wore a hunter suit and wore a sword device on her waist.
“Yuna.”
As she was about to go out, she belatedly found Hong Yul in a wheelchair.
“Oh, sister! When did you come home?”
“I stopped by for a moment yesterday.”
Tears quickly formed in Hongyeon’s eyes as she looked at her older sister. He immediately ran to her and hugged her tightly.
“This little thing doesn’t even look at your face and just keeps going. So, is it all over now?”
“Yes. Now I can use 8-circle magic.”
She patted Hongyeon’s back.
“Yoo-shin will be waiting for you. Let’s hurry up and get Mr. Kim, right?”
“…….”
Hongyeon wiped her eyes and nodded.
“I’m sorry. And thank you always.”
She took a taxi. The destination was set.
The ‘Gate’ headquarters of Mtop Group located in Gangseo-gu, Seoul.
Not only the second-floor main study, but also the technology and facilities of the fifth-floor dimension hall were moved to Korea.
Currently, Gate is emerging as an alternative to Alchemia, whose revenue has decreased, and Warp Gate is being piloted in over 20 countries targeting the general public.
When I arrived by taxi, Samia, who I had contacted, was there to meet me.
“It’s been a while, Hongyeon Hunter.”
“How are you? Princess?”
“When are you going to stop using that name?”
The two walked away smiling happily. The place they headed was in front of a large warp gate created by remodeling an entire facility.
“It is the only means in the world to go to another world.”
Samia explained so and placed a necklace-shaped artifact around Hongyeon’s neck.
“What is this?”
“The dimensional coordinate receiver is also hanging around Hunter Kim Yu-shin’s neck. When you ride this warp gate, the dimensional receivers react to each other and guide you to the corresponding location.”
Hongyeon nodded with a serious face.
“I will ask you one last question.”
Samia looked back at her with a serious face.
“Have you thought about it enough before making a decision? Once you warp, you cannot return without the magic tower’s transfer protocol. No, there is no way to guarantee that the warp will be 100% successful before that, and there is no guarantee that you will be able to move to the world where the magic tower is. Mia wanders in space forever. It could be.”
“I know.”
She met Samia’s gaze with determined eyes.
“Still, I will go.”
“…… i get it.”
Samia also knew that trying to stop her would be useless.
As she gave instructions over the radio, the warp gate lit up and magic swirled.
It has begun. Hongyeon slowly took in her breath as she stood in front of the warp. Samia said, taking her walkie talkie from her mouth.
“I’m sorry I was the only one to see you off like this.”
“No. There is no reason to make a fuss.”
She looked back at Samia and smiled.
“I’ll be back.”
“Please be safe, Hongyeon Hunter.”
She nodded and threw herself into the warp gate without hesitation.
To keep my last promise.
* * *
Warping between universes was a terrifying experience.
In a space filled with colors reminiscent of abstract paintings, I felt like I was being sucked in forever, trapped in a narrow, infinite pipe.
But fortunately there was an end. Her body escaped towards the end of the pipe, where the dazzling light was heading.
‘… … .’
Gradually, feeling in my body returned. Seeing that he was alive, it seemed like the warp was a success.
She opened her eyes and raised her head.
The sky was dark, probably because it was night, and things that looked like houses were burning around.
Is it normal for houses in this world to catch fire? Are the people of this world burning people?
I looked ahead while thinking such nonsense.
“…….”
“…….”
I saw strange creatures holding blades. It had thin limbs, a protruding belly, and a tadpole-like tail attached to its back.
When I look back, I see humans this time. The skin color and eye color were a little different, but it was definitely human.
Hongyeon swallowed her saliva and asked carefully.
“Excuse me. This is…”
“Aaaaaaaah!”
As soon as I said a word, people started screaming and running away.
When Hongyeon stretched out her arms in panic, the surprised people were busy hiding under the fence or tripping over their own feet.
“@*#$!”
“#%$&*[email protected]&*!”
… … I couldn’t understand what was being said at all.
I tried just in case, but the interpretation function of the ear microphone did not work. She put the microphone in her ear and sighed.
At that time, a middle-aged man came forward and threw a noose made of rope. It exactly tightened Hongyeon’s arms and knocked her to the floor.
“……?”
Hongyeon fell to the floor and blinked.
I was purely surprised.
What a noose. When was this a weapon?
“$%@#!”
When the man raised his arms, people cheered.
At that time, the goblin-like creatures behind reacted sensitively and drew their swords. The humans retreated as if they felt threatened.
‘I’m not sure what’s going on.’
Her fingers moved. A blue light shimmered on her noose, and the knot came undone.
‘There is definitely mana in this world.’
She stood up, spread a magic circle on the floor, and stomped on it.
<Gaia>
Coo coo coo coo!
As the humans and monsters faced off, the floor rose up like a pillar.
Looking at the shocked reactions of people, it seems that magic is not a common power in this world. In particular, the monsters that were distraught and scattered screamed and ran away to the mountains.
Seeing her so scared that she even shed tears made me feel a bit pitiful.
After chasing away the monsters, Hongyeon looked back at the villagers.
“I’m sorry for surprising you. I’ll ask you again…”
Hongyeon stopped talking and looked at the people’s expressions.
A face filled with fear.
And a face that looks like it’s a horrible alien life form.
She was an outsider from another world. No matter what I said, it wouldn’t work, so I thought it would be best for both of us to step away from here.
In the end, she slightly bowed her head towards the people and walked out of the village.
Everyone watched her with bated breath. It seemed like she wanted to leave this place quickly.
“#%$!”
At that time, a village child came up to Hongyeon.
The adults screamed and tried to stop the child, but the child did not stop and came towards Hongyeon.
I had no idea what the child was saying.
But he was smiling.
She also squatted down, made eye contact with the child, and smiled.
The child was held in his arms. Hongyeon was surprised for a moment, but she smiled and hugged her child.
[Obtained the alien language trait.]
“! #[email protected]Thank you&@.”
Now I can understand a little bit.
* * *
I learned the language and basic common sense from books I got from the villagers. Hongyeon’s learning ability was being properly applied to the other world as well.
The name of this world is Medium.
The living races are humans and demon beasts.
Perhaps it was because Nemesis was prevented on Earth, but fortunately there were no disasters or cracks in Medium.
Although there were monsters, they were not from another world like Earth, but rather a collection of demonic beasts that had degenerated due to intoxication with mana.
The entire planet of Medium consists of one continent, and there are four oceans within the continent. There are 3 empires and 22 kingdoms in a strange balance.
Although it is only one continent, the planet is actually larger than Earth. A forced march was expected.
To put it more bluntly, there was a strong possibility that even if you searched for your whole life, you would not be able to find it.
Nevertheless, she began a long journey to find Yushin.
-A woman wanders the forest alone? Does this mean you want me to be your slave?
-I have no luck with women, so I don’t do business with them.
-How dare a lowly commoner!
Needless to say, human rights are the worst.
Because sewage systems were not developed, the streets of the city were full of excrement, and epidemic diseases were common and hygiene standards were low.
I heard that there is a kingdom in the north that boasts advanced science and technology due to extremely developed steam engines, but the average technology and culture of Medium was generally at the level of the Earth’s Middle Ages.
It was impossible for a woman to travel alone in such a medium, and Hongyeon got caught up in numerous troubles.
Every day was not easy.
But as if to show off.
[100 Year War Ended!]
[Evil Duke Slev dies!]
[The birth of the Dragon Slayer!]
[Belzebub’s demonic formation is devastated!]
I destroyed everything and left.
-strong!
-Please become our chief!
Either the demonic beasts give up their position as leader.
-You will be the spirit’s eternal friend from now on.
Or meet the Spirit King.
-His Majesty the Emperor has issued a decree of earldom.
He even received a title.
She refused everything and took only what she needed to find Yushin.
This world was large, but information was slow. Newspapers, let alone the Internet, were not widely available.
I walked until my feet swelled. At night, she couldn’t make a fire because of the monster attack, and had to curl up and sleep with her eyes open, shivering from the cold.
No matter how red-faced he was, the long camping life was so painful that he couldn’t endure it.
I fell and fainted several times.
But every time, I gritted my teeth and stood up.
I can endure difficult things. Her only worry was that this Medium might be the world from which Yushin descended.
Sometimes, when it occurred to her that there might not be Yushin under this sky, she had to shudder from the terrible loneliness.
“……senior.”
She puffed her breath inside the makeshift tent and put a check mark on the map she had worked so hard to obtain.
The finger holding the map was completely wrapped in cotton bandages.
Hehehe!
“ah!”
The cold wind tore through the fabric tent, and the map she was holding in her hand flew out.
“no!”
She gritted her teeth and ran out barefoot. The night wind was very strong and the forest was dense. And because of the darkness, I couldn’t see my surroundings very well.
She focused her magic in her eyes and ran like a crazy person.
“haha!”
Because of the cold floor, I gradually lost feeling in my feet. Her whole body was covered with scars from the sharp thorns.
But she didn’t care about those things. She just ran with all her might.
Buuuuuung!
When she sensed a presence, she urgently stopped and lowered herself. A halberd passed by, cutting off a few strands of his red hair.
Phew!
And then one arrow came rushing in and got stuck in my thigh. Her legs turned red and she let out a moan.
“I found it. Pretty girl.”
어둠 속에서, 갈색 수염을 기른 우락부락한 남자가 종이 한 장을 들고 있었다. 그녀는 저게 지도라고 생각해서 덤벼들려고 했지만.
“I don’t have any grudges against her, but I need money.”
The man turned the paper around and showed it to her. It wasn’t a map, but a wanted badge with her face on it.
“High-ranking people placed a bounty worth hundreds of millions of dollars on the girl’s head. I guess she had a lot of grudges. I wish she would have stayed quiet and not made such a fuss…”
“please.”
She spoke as if pleading as she looked at the group of bandits blocking her path.
“Please send it to me. Please.”
“…didn’t you hear what I said?”
The man said, pretending to scratch his head.
“I said I need money!”
With those words as a signal, the bandits who had been lying in ambush everywhere came running out. Hongyeon’s golden eyes, shedding tears, were bright.
“Get out of the way!”
The world was as white as day and then dark again.
That night.
Calago, known as the king of bandits, and the group of bandits he led disappeared without a trace.
The villagers who had been harassed by Kalago cheered at this news and left to welcome Hongyeon.
“Thank you! Red-haired hero!”
The village chief repeatedly lowered his head and said.
“Thanks to you, our village has escaped the tyranny of bandits. Please let me repay you…”
Hongyeon was stumbling across the floor, her entire body covered in dirt and blood.
Then I looked at them with tear-dried eyes.
“……help.”
“Yes, yes?”
“Map, I need to find a map.”
The village chief quickly nodded and mobilized all the villagers to search the forest.
“Uh, isn’t this it?”
At that time, a young man fell to the floor and shook a piece of paper covered in dirt. Hongyeon heard those words and came running in a huff.
“ah……”
It’s definitely true.
Her guidance was correct.
“Is this what you’re looking for?”
“……thank you!”
She collapsed on the floor, hugged the map to her chest and cried.
“Thank you. Thank you. Thank you…”
The young man scratched his head, and the villagers looked at her with pitiful eyes.
“What on earth is the story…”
“There are also rumors that it comes from another dimension.”
“People like us will never understand.”
Some villagers patted her shoulder or covered her with a blanket.
