Episode 278
[Wait, I think you’re mistaken. Can’t you tell the difference between virtual and real?]
When asked to guide them to the location of the seed of origin, Sinbi spoke in a confused voice.
[This world is a world created based on Kwak Moo-jin’s experiences. [I don’t know if the seed of origin is embodied.]
A world created based on Kwak Mu-jin’s experiences.
It was half right and half wrong.
If this world were truly created based solely on Kwak Moo-jin’s experiences, details like Predator’s Fortress would not have been implemented.
“what. You know that your experience is also included, right? “If the world had been created solely from Kwak Moo-jin’s experiences in the first place, wouldn’t it have been possible to create such a wide world?”
[…] … .]
Sinbi seemed to have hit the nail on the head and kept her mouth shut.
[Home, home. You’re good at reasoning, aren’t you?]
I shrugged.
“Things like that can be easily deduced.”
[Okay, I’ll tell you the truth. You’re not wrong. This virtual world was created by combining my ‘mysterious’ powers.]
Sinbi, who was muttering like that, opened her mouth again.
[But this world is a virtual world after all. Even if you search for the seed of the origin, it is meaningless because it is not ‘real’.]
“That doesn’t matter. Anyway, just confirm the location
“Because I’m trying to protect you.”
The seed of origin.
This, which is the material for the [Holy Grail], is a mystery whose acquisition process is not properly addressed even in the original work.
The reason is simple.
This is because the organization that acquired the seeds of origin was none other than Zaun.
In the original, Ja-woon enters the world of the boundary to find the original seed that becomes the material for the Holy Grail.
Although the process was not described, it was mentioned that Scar was seriously injured during the acquisition process.
There was a need to first determine what danger there might have been that had caused Scar to be so seriously injured.
[… … Are you trying to obtain the actual original seed?]
“Oh, but?”
[Are you crazy? Do you know what it means to fall into the world of boundaries?]
“know.”
Still, I have no choice.
The value of the object called the ‘Holy Grail’ is indescribable.
Because it is so indescribable.
And now that the cup of life is in my hands, I must complete the Holy Grail by any means necessary.
[Well, I guess that could be true since you’re a little different from most humans. Hehe.]
Then the mystery spoke to me.
[good. I will guide you to the location where the Seed of Origin is hidden. Before that, let me briefly explain the border area. The border area can be broadly divided into four areas.]
The mystery began to explain.
To summarize, it was like this.
[City of the Living] in the North
[Temple] on the east
[Predator’s Fortress] in the West
[Frozen Valley] in the south
［The place where the Seed of Origin is hidden is the frozen valley to the south.］
Hehehe!
A bitter cold wind blew.
A pure white snowstorm that seems to cover the world blocks the view in front of you.
A cold that an ordinary person could never withstand.
It was an extreme cold wave that even broke through [cold resistance].
Two days after sending everyone back to reality.
I arrived at the land to the south, [Frozen Valley], through the ancient gate guided by the mystery.
“Ugh……
I was shivering from the cold and opened the subspace to find a padded jacket with the [Warmth] spell.
At that time, the mysterious man spoke to me and said that I was curious.
[Oh, what was that just now? It wasn’t magic?]
“My abilities.”
He answered while taking out a long padding from the subspace and putting it on.
When I closed the zipper, the thermal insulation effect was activated.
I feel like I can finally live.
[okay? It’s an amazing ability~ How did you use it?]
Sinbi asked in a voice full of curiosity.
Then suddenly I remembered the mysterious necromancy being surprised at the power of subspace.
At that time, he made a fuss about whether the ability was obtained through a ‘fragment of causality’…
“Do you know what the fragment of causality is?”
[… … fragments of causality?]
Sinbi muttered quietly.
[Ah, so that’s an ability obtained from a fragment of causality?!]
Shinbi exclaimed in a happy voice as if she had realized this.
“Uh, so what are the fragments of causality?”

[…] … Yes? that is… … What did I just say? I forgot!]
This is suddenly becoming pretentious.
“Even if we make a deal, I won’t tell you.
hey?”
[A deal? What is that?]
“……okay?”
I took out the mysterious crystal in my pocket. After that, I put a little magic power into my hand and gave it strength.
[uh? hey. Hey hey hey! stop! Stop the violence!]
At those words, I relaxed my fingers for a moment.
[No, it’s really too much! Don’t you know that this is a violation of contract?!]
“what? Have you ever limited the number of questions?
“There isn’t any.”
[But I told you there are things I can’t answer! Don’t you know?]
Shinbi shouted with a grin.
“Then give me a simple hint.”
When I spoke while looking down at the marble, the guy was silent for a moment.
[… … Ah. Okay. I don’t know much about that ability either. It’s a power that even we can’t handle.]
“You guys can’t handle it either?”
[Oh, you know. The laws of the world are
Our mysteries are beyond our power… … .]
At that moment, Shinbi stopped talking.
[I take back what I just said.]
“What? Why are you stopping talking? Are you saying that the fragments of causality are related to the laws of the world?”
[Oh my! It’s almost nighttime. The monsters will wake up soon, so let’s hurry up and move. Let’s go to sleep. Go straight ahead like this, and then turn right at the cave you see over there and go up the mountain.]
Suddenly, he starts saying something different.
This time, it didn’t seem like he would really answer, so I gave up.
So I moved according to the mysterious guidance.
The ground was slippery and rough, but thanks to the unreality, my body was full of strength and I was able to climb the mountain with ease.
“But I don’t see anything like life here.”
He looked around and muttered.
From earlier, I couldn’t sense any traces or presence of any living creatures.
Then the mystery spoke.
[The south is a place that even border predators cannot easily touch. Not only is it too cold, but there are also many dangerous ones.]
“Dangerous guys?”
[I’m talking about the hidden monsters on the border.]
They are the hidden monsters of the border.
Predators were also strong, but I felt a little nervous when I heard that there were stronger ones than that.
That was when.
—Crrrrrgh!
A huge roar echoed through the air.
The distance wasn’t that far.
At that moment, something appeared in front of me with a loud thump!
“……snowman?”
It was Seol-in.
The Yeti is a monster that can be easily seen in the snowy mountain area of reality.
But it was a little different from the yeti I knew.
First of all, its size is enormous. This drawing must be over 4m long.
I feel like I’m looking up at a building.
At that time, the yeti roared and swung its fist at me.
Phew!
I used my magic power to jump high and avoid the attack.
And while floating in the air,
Implemented a sphere with basic properties.
In a 1:1 situation with a creature monster like this, there is nothing better than the electric attribute. And this time, the electric attribute was raised to level 2, so I wanted to test its power.
Pagjijik——
In this way, a sphere of electricity was created, sending sparks flying above my hand.
Since your level has increased, you will be able to store more brain energy than usual.
I continued to infuse the magical power of electric properties contained in the sphere.
As expected, I was able to capture more brain energy than usual.
Fire, fire! Fire!
“Hmm!”
Just then, I waved my hand and released the sphere.
Paaaaang!
With the sound of tearing the air, a sphere of electricity was shot towards the guy, leaving an afterimage.
It was not easy to control as it contained more brain energy than usual, but since its destructive power and range increased accordingly, there was no major problem.
Phage crackle!
—Crrrrrgh!
Electricity leaves a blue afterimage
It pierced the yeti’s shoulder.
Soon, as the brain energy passed through the guy’s entire body, he pinched his eyes and fell down.
Kuuung!
[Electric attribute proficiency increases.]
[Additional electric attribute proficiency is gained through the ‘Mother Nature’s Blessing’ effect.]
“Whoa.”
Clearly, the amount of current contained in the sphere increased.
The speed of implementation and release has become faster, and precise movements have become possible.
I looked down at the electric current flowing gently over my palm.
Pajik, Pajijik——.
Electrical resistance has also increased.
Before, I felt a stinging pain when I used the electric attribute, but now even that pain has decreased.
With a little more practice, it might be possible to ‘attribute’ the body in a short period of time like Seojun Lee or Bert.
[Wow, it was neat.]
Shinbi smiled and said as if praising.
I waved it off, thinking it was no big deal.
“Well, with this much. That’s it, I’ll continue to guide you.”
So, I continued to climb the snowy mountain, following the mysterious guidance.
I think I walked for about 50 minutes. Sinbi said.
They’re all here.]
“… … Huh? Where?”
I looked around at the mysterious words. I didn’t see anything special.
all.
[Your feet.]
I looked down.
“Underfoot?”
[Oh, if you sweep the floor, it’ll come out.]
He nodded, squatted down, and swept the snow off the floor.
Because the snow was so thick, I had no choice but to use wind magic to push the ground away.
[oh. Even wind properties? You are really versatile.]
Let’s push all the floor out like that.
The person’s benefit was activated, and something hidden on the floor came into view.
“… … “It’s a magic trick.”
The form of the spell was similar to that of a barrier. The only difference was that it was made in a more ancient way.
It felt a little different from the current generation’s magic.
and… … It looks like it also contains a summoning ceremony.
No, is this a sealing ceremony?
Then, something suddenly occurred to me.
“hey. Mystery. “Can you interpret this too?”
［Of course you can interpret it. There is no magic that we cannot interpret.]
Sinbi spoke in a confident tone.
It seems like there is some pride in this field.
“okay’?”
［But all I can do is interpret.］
Mystery said with a smile.
“What are you talking about?”
［The term literally means that you can only read it, but you cannot interpret it or modify it.
Hey. Now, humans know too. Everything in the world is made of ‘magic’.]
“Well, that’s right.”
Because it’s something I learned so well in my drinking class that it got ingrained in my ears.
[If we can modify all techniques at will, we can ignore the laws of the world and modify the world as we want. Shouldn’t that be called God, not mystery?]
“…Hmm.”
When I think about it, it is true.
If you have the ability to change the world at will, you could be called a ‘god’.
… … The ‘God’ that Jin Cheon-woo wanted to become.
Was what he ultimately wanted to achieve the power to change the world?
Then suddenly a primal curiosity arose.
“But does such a thing as God exist?”
[God? Ughh …
The mystery made a voice that seemed interested.
[I don’t know about that.]
Judging by the way he spoke, it seemed like he really didn’t know.
“it’s okay. “I need to solve this.”
[Hehe. Can you solve it?]
“I have to try.”
I went straight into the alcohol detoxification process.
I worked through the techniques that came into my head and made modifications.
Of course, no matter how complicated a technique is, it can be solved if there are no other special conditions.
Wooooow!
There was one thing I felt while unraveling the technique.
This technique was not a barrier or summoning ceremony as I expected, but a huge ‘sealing ceremony’.
I had a vague sense of fear because I didn’t know what might be sealed, but I thought that maybe the seed of origin was sealed.
And even if something else dangerous is sealed, it doesn’t really matter because you can always escape to reality if necessary.
… …as long as you don’t die.
[Kikki. Kikki!]
And at that moment, an intense light bursts out from the ritual and the seal is about to be broken.
Shinbi laughed loudly and unpleasantly.
[The sealed ‘Great Spirit of the Snow Mountain’ has been released.]
At the same time, a tremendous wave of magical power shook the surrounding area.
Not able to react to sudden situations
I couldn’t do it and my body just flew backwards.
“Tsk!”
I looked at the huge ‘something’ in front of me. At the same time, a powerful magical force was pressing down on my entire body and constricting my breathing.
“… … What is that.”
A huge black silhouette appeared, like a mountain.
It was so big that I couldn’t see it at a glance.
I deduced its appearance by following its silhouette. So, long ears… … .
“……rabbit?”
It was a rabbit with pure white fur. However, I felt an intense magical energy that was unusual for a rabbit.
At the same time, the thought that came to my mind was that if this wasn’t a virtual world, I would definitely be dead right now.
That was some kind of catastrophic evil.
“hey. Hey hey “Send me back to reality quickly.”
[Kikkikkikki… … ]
As I spoke urgently, I heard a mysterious laugh.
[I need to prepare too, so just hold on a little longer. Oh! By the way, keep in mind that spirits don’t work with normal magic. Hehe.]
… … Are you kidding me?
At that moment, a huge chunk of ice began to materialize above the giant rabbit’s head.
And then a moment later, a lump of rock was shot at me.
It felt like a meteor was falling from the sky.
The scope was so wide that I felt like I couldn’t avoid it.
It was a moment of crisis, but thanks to the hero’s protection and overindulgence, I was able to maintain my composure and reason.
“Tch!”
I activated instantaneous acceleration.
At the same time, time seemed to slow down and the movement of the meteor shooting towards me seemed slow.
I stretched out my hand and concentrated my mind.
An invincible defensive magic circle, a counterattack magic circle, unfolded above my hand.
The moment when such a huge chunk of ice touches the magic circle.
A magic circle was activated.
Wooooow!
Kwaaaa …
‘It’s a success!’
The ice block was shot back at him, retaining the same energy that had been shot at me.
However, the guy moved quickly and avoided the reflected attack.
However, since it was not a complete avoidance,
I succeeded in getting my wife dressed.
—Oooooh!
As the rabbit complained of pain, a mysterious voice was heard.
[…] … what? What is that magic?]
Then he started talking in a loud voice.
[What kind of magic is that? It’s so amazing?! Is that magic you created?!]
“Send me back to reality, loud and fast!”
He looked at the rabbit preparing for battle again and shouted in an anxious voice.
[Giggle. okay. I’m ready, so inject magic power.]
I immediately grabbed the bead and injected magic into it.
[It’s time to say goodbye now. It was nice meeting you.]
At the same time, a strong light flashed from the orb.
“Ugh… Ugh… …
When I came to my senses, the scenery had changed.
At the same time, I felt a deep sense of relief and sat down on the floor.
It was very fortunate that I went to the virtual world to find the ‘seed of origin’ in advance.
If this were a real situation, I would definitely be dead.
I regained my mental and physical stability and slowly looked around.
Small space.
There were familiar faces gathered around.
“……Seniors?”
The extra who returned becomes a genius
Fantasy, games, bing, munchkin,
