I’m the only magic tower owner episode 003
“…Haha, is it something grand? Then tell me how to use magic.”
In response to my question, she raised her arm and pointed upward.
“First, go to the 9th floor. The answer is there.”
“9th floor?”
“Yes, this is where the tower owner’s personal office is. This way…”
I walked behind Ea and took a quick look around.
Looking back, it was a very unfamiliar and foreign place.
If I had to express it, it felt like a chemical lab, and I wondered if there was such a fancy lab in the world.
The walls and floor were all golden, and there were soft sofas and cushions in the central lobby.
Miscellaneous items such as cups were also seen here and there, proving that people had once lived there.
“People must have lived here in the past, right?”
“Of course. I’ve been alone for 10 years. This way.”
She guided me to a magic circle placed on the floor. The form was different from the one activated from my hand earlier.
“How do I use this?”
“Just go up to the magic circle.”
As I climbed up, the magic circle glowed brightly and started working. A button appeared in front of me like an elevator.
From the 1st to the 9th floor.
The place where you are standing now is the first floor of the Magic Tower.
From the second floor onwards, the button light was off. And the lights were on on the 9th floor, the top floor.
It was blinking hard as if asking me to press it. She tried pressing the button.
Ugh!
Suddenly, I felt the ground beneath my feet floating, and the surroundings changed in the blink of an eye.
The elevator button in the air flashed a blue light as if to indicate that it had arrived at the 9th floor.
Ea appeared after him, bowed gracefully and said.
“Welcome to the 9th floor, the Magic Tower Lord’s room.”
If the first floor felt like a luxurious hotel lobby, the 9th floor was a neat and tidy place reminiscent of a private office.
I took a look around.
What caught my eye more than anything else on the 9th floor was the night view of Seoul beyond the glass-like wall.
An exclamation came out of my mouth.
‘… … The night view alone is amazing. If you watch a drama somewhere, the bosses are standing in a place like this with their backs turned.’
While I was watching the night view while thinking nonsense, I was surprised to see a reflection in the window.
My right eye was shining blue, like the color of mana.
The eyes that had turned blue were continuing to undergo abstract changes even at this very moment.
It felt like the waves were crashing, and it also felt like a typhoon was swirling.
“Hey, why are my eyes like this?”
“Those eyes are the symbol of the Magic Tower Lord. They are the eyes of a sage.”
I see This is the true nature of my unique ability, right?
It’s good, but it splatters a lot. I feel like I should stand up and put on a lens later.
I took a quick look around my office, then awkwardly sat down at my desk. Although it had an old-fashioned design, it was as comfortable as my custom-made chair.
“Then rest in peace.”
Ea disappeared into thin air, perhaps to avoid disturbing me. I took a moment to catch my breath and think.
“……Hmm.”
It’s magic.
I got to the 9th floor, but I still had no idea how to use magic.
The main use of mana by modern players is when using unique abilities, other than mana coating, which grants mana to weapons or clothes to strengthen them.
However, if you were suddenly asked to use this mana to use magic, anyone would be confused.
At that time, a bright thought passed through my head.
‘Maybe if you recite a magic spell like in the movies, you’ll go out in a flash?’
I looked around the 9th floor to find magic spells. Then, I found a decent book on a bookshelf in one corner.
The title is 『The Essence of Magic』.
The author is Ruin Kylers.
For some reason, the title reminded me of the bible of high school mathematics that has been at the top for 30 years.
‘Is this what Ea said?’
I opened the book.
It was all written in an unknown alien language, but miraculously, I was able to read all of it.
I read the author’s first words, thinking that it was thanks to the ‘eyes of a wise man’ I had acquired this time.
『What is magic?』
I sat down and read the book frantically.
It had tremendous suction power.
It’s not that the contents of the book are all that interesting, but I felt like an adventurer who was able to steal information about newspaper articles on his own.
About a third of the bookshelf was gone.
‘Wow, Mr. ‘Do you really think this will work?’
I couldn’t wait to try magic.
At first, I read it half as a joke, but the more I read, the more I realized that the study of magic was not just a mystery.
I returned to the first chapter with an excited heart.
“Let’s see, let’s see. The way to classify magic varies greatly from wizard to wizard, but I classify it into three categories based on the activation conditions. Spell magic, command magic, and magic circle….”
The author recommended choosing one of three areas and learning them intensively. After much deliberation, I decided to choose ‘Magic Circle’.

The reason was simple.
Of the three, the magic circle is the fastest.
Without the need to memorize a spell, the magic circle was a system where you could draw a specific diagram with mana and it would turn into magic.
Once you master it, you can reach the point where you can create a magic circle out of thin air, and it was nice that it could be activated quickly even during battle.
It is easy to deal with variables, so it can be used well in modern, urgent monster battles.
‘I guess I can just choose an easy magic for the first time, right?’
I decided to learn the ‘gauntlet’, which is one of the three basic magic circles.
In the magic standard, the tasks were divided in order to make it easy for beginners to follow, so all they had to do was follow along.
-first. Select the location where you want to draw the magic circle and spread the magic as if you were unfolding a flat piece of drawing paper.
The wizards of this world seem to call this ‘base’.
I laid two layers of base on the desk and ran my fingers over them.
A blue dot was left where I put my finger, as if I was holding a brush. I focused my magic on my fingers and looked at the next page.
-Now draw a straight circle to form a ‘field’.
Ugh, it gets stuck from the beginning.
It’s not easy to draw a straight circle with your bare hands.
Contrary to what I thought, my fingers were drawing a near-perfect circle as if I was using a compass.
I looked at my fingers with a confused expression for a moment and then moved on to the next step.
Next is rune.
Simply put, ‘runes’ were letters with magical powers. You can create a magical effect by drawing this letter using mana.
I engraved one letter of the rune from the book exactly in the center of the circle.
‘Oh oh.’
It was clearly my first time doing something like this, but my fingers were moving boldly as if I had done it before.
In the blink of an eye, I drew it almost exactly like the letters in the book.
-Now, write down the activation formula on the border of the circle.
Making a magic circle was not as difficult as I thought.
To use an analogy, it felt similar to the electronic circuit work that science and engineering electronics students do during practical classes, where they insert electronic components onto a board, create circuits with lead wires, and solder them.
So ten minutes later.
‘It looks quite plausible.’
I was looking at the first magic circle I had created.
In fact, the magic circle I had initially imagined was a six-pointed star with various colorful patterns, but in reality, it looked like a circle with complicated mathematical formulas arranged inside it.
I was dubious about whether magic would come out of this, but at the same time, I was also looking forward to it.
Now it’s the finishing work. I placed my finger on the central rune and injected a certain amount of mana.
Ugh!
The mana I poured out brought the rune to life and then scattered to other places.
Various components were activated by flowing freely according to the detailed formula, and soon the border of the circle was reached.
Just as a stream of water flows down a hollow part of the ground, the mana flowing through the magic circle also flowed with a certain regularity.
Finally, mana circulated smoothly throughout the magic circle, and the blue light became even brighter.
This is cool.
I was enjoying the feeling of utmost satisfaction. It seems to have created not just a schematic, but a living, breathing ecosystem.
Now, it’s time to test whether the magic circle works properly.
I slowly lifted the magic circle attached to the desk and then released my hand.
The magic circle stayed in the air as if its coordinates were fixed.
Next, with a desperate heart, I pushed my right hand into the magic circle.
‘Please do it! please… … !’
Sreung.
When I put my right hand inside the magic circle, it felt as if I was putting my hand inside a soft fur glove.
The magic circle that was flat changed into three-dimensional and bulged out in the shape of a finger.
In this state, I tried pushing my arm a little further.
Sigh!
Finally, my hand broke through the magic circle, and the mana of the magic circle naturally enveloped my hand and shimmered with blue light.
[You have completed the gauntlet magic circle for the first time.]
[Intelligence has reached the 1st floor.]
[Your concentration has decreased to the first level.]
‘… … done!’
The moment I completed the spell for the first time, numerous emotions crossed my mind.
Cursed compatibility ability. A unique ability that does not become stronger even if the magic power is high.
I felt like I had been rewarded for all the hard work I had put in to improve my abilities.
‘I want to test its power.’
According to the rules of magic, gauntlets are a striking type of magic.
While looking for a suitable location, I took a fighting stance facing the wall. Since the tower remained intact even after being bombed by the military, this must be okay.
Stretching out my legs, I thrust my mana-fluttering fist straight ahead with all my might.
Quaaaang!
My fist bounced back with a sound reminiscent of an explosion.
The gauntlet disappeared with a huge impact, leaving a fist-shaped scratch on the wall.
“This is really happening!”
This kind of power does not come about simply by gathering magic power into a fist.
I was able to conclude that this was truly magic.
“Hehehehe.”
Uncontrollable laughter burst out.
This is the moment when the world’s first wizard was born.
