Flame Stacking Kim Magic -3- [End of Volume 3]

Immediately after returning to the rooftop.

Kim Magic received the Phoenix Circuit transplant surgery.

The surgeon is Matapju.

He said it would take quite some time. He said he would be especially careful since it was his first attempt at surgery.

“You’ve made a lot of work while I wasn’t looking.”

The responsible wizard who had invited me approached me.

“It just so happened that way.”

“Haha, it was worth inviting Superman. I thought it would be a great success if I could just obtain the Black Flame data, but maybe a new school of thought will be created.”

“No way.”

“Rumors are already spreading. The path to pyromancy has opened. Do you know how many people in the Magic Tower are born with magical powers but are unable to follow the path of a magician because they can’t do mental calculations? They are all praying for the success of the grandson of the Magic Tower Lord.”

“It would be great if I could have computer assistance.”

“Then, if you get hit by an EMP bomb, you’re done. And if you want to go beyond level 5, you have to do all the calculations yourself. If that doesn’t work, level 4 is the limit.”

The responsible wizard kept telling stories.

He said that he actually has a granddaughter, that he was worried because her magic power was great but her head didn’t keep up, and that he was relieved of his worries this time…

Then, after making sure there was no one around, he whispered to me.

“Superhuman. I’m telling you this because of my granddaughter. Actually, there was a time ago, right? The wizard who was banished last time.”

“Ah······ Yes. I remember.”

“I looked into it secretly and confirmed that he received bribes from the Geumoh Group.”

Geumoh Group.

One of the top five conglomerates.

2nd place in the financial world.

It is known for its extremely aggressive and predatory business expansion.

In the game, he is portrayed as something closer to a villain.

“Geumoh Group?”

“Yes. If they had stolen our information from the Magic Tower, I would have warned them at the Magic Tower level, but they only asked for Superhuman’s information. And not just that wizard, they even offered to buy Superhuman’s information from my disciple.”

“Just me?”

“Yes. Just pick out Superman.”

My face hardened slightly.

The conglomerate is secretly extracting information about the magic tower?

It could be.

Isn’t that industrial espionage?

But you tried to buy my information?

“Perhaps they are trying to recruit Superman. Superman is a sought-after talent everywhere. I heard that the Lord of the Tower also made an offer to recruit him?”

“Yes, I did.”

“Haha. In two years, we’ll be eating from the same pot.”

“We’ll have to wait and see.”

“Heh heh heh heh.”

Geumoh Group. Geumoh Group.

Just remember that.

I think it would be better to just avoid it.

The chairman there is a very authoritarian person, so if you refuse his offer to recruit him, he takes it as a sign that you want to fight.

I have no intention of belonging to any religious group, but I absolutely hate the Geumoh Group and my old father’s religious group.

I’d rather go into the Sun Tower.

Bam!

As soon as I finished telling my story, the operating room door opened.

Matapju came out smiling brightly.

“Hahaha! This was a huge success!”

He saw me, strode towards me, and hit me on the back.

“Kim Cho-in! It’s all thanks to you! My grandson has finally become a wizard, no, a superman!”

“Congratulations, Lord Top.”

“Congratulations!”

“Congratulations!”

“Hahaha! Mr. Kim Cho-in, you really did a great job! I told you that you deserve the position of president. Why wait two years? What do you think? Why don’t you hold the inauguration ceremony right now?”

“Don’t talk as if you’ve already won. You’ll end up in big trouble later.”

“Hahahaha! How spirited! It’s like seeing myself from 50 years ago! Hahahaha!”

The top of the tower laughs loudly as the tower falls.

The tower shook with the magic-filled laughter.

The wizards who heard the news came rushing out.

Everyone shouted “Congratulations” like a parrot, and the elders also set off magic firecrackers in joy.

There is only one wizard who cannot laugh.

Elder Joe.

He looked at Matapju and me with a face that looked like he had chewed shit, then returned to his lab.

bang!

The sound of a door closing echoed from afar, like a protest.

“You punk! Come out now when you come to your senses!”

“Yes, yes, I’m going out.”

Kim Ma-beop came out with a face as white as a blank sheet of paper.

——————

A body that staggers as if it might collapse at any moment.

But things have changed.

The magical waves were faintly felt.

If you visualize it, it’s a soft red like a sunset.

I felt the hairs on my body stand on end.

This feeling······

This threat······

He wasn’t that much weaker than me.

It wasn’t so strong that I couldn’t feel it properly.

The top prince proudly shouted.

“You magician! Breathe fire once! The first pyromancer in the history of the Magic Tower has been born, so you must show us a demonstration!”

“Here?”

“Yeah! Hmm, that’s right. How about you, Kim Cho-in, try stopping it?”

“Okay, I’ll try.”

Magic resistance, fire resistance, and black flame are still equipped.

He unfolded the shield on his left forearm and stepped forward.

Kim Magic looks at me with an embarrassed face.

“I’m sorry, Superman. My grandfather is very extreme.”

“That makes sense. Mr. Kim Magic… Isn’t this the historic moment when Superman Kim Magic has changed his job?”

“Hehehe.”

“Try to attack with all your might. You know? Even the Sunfire can last for 15 seconds. Even the Phoenix Flame won’t kill me.”

“Then I’ll go.”

The spacious hallway of the tower suddenly became a pyromancy demonstration site.

Kim Magic took a deep breath.

There is no staff or magic booster.

Instead, the skin all over his body turned red and his magical circuits glowed red.

So intense that it felt like it was going to burst through my skin.

Hwaaaaak!

Flames bursting out between my hands!

It’s hot.

A fever is coming over me.

The eagle’s heat, the fierce flames rushing at me, threatening to devour me.

Crackle, crackle.

My skin was chapped and my hair suffered again.

I calmly assessed the power of pyromancy.

‘That’s pretty good.’

It has the power of a flamethrower or incendiary grenade.

A full-fledged level 3 superhuman.

The Albo soldiers would probably slaughter dozens or hundreds of people.

But it has its weaknesses.

“Great. Congratulations on becoming a level 3 superhuman.”

“ah······”

Kim Magic, who trembles for a moment and becomes absorbed in emotion.

He quickly takes on a sullen expression.

“But it doesn’t work on you, Superman.”

“Of course. Even though I look like this, I’m actually quite strong with magic.”

“Still······”

“You’ll have to work hard in the future. Don’t you have any fire-attribute elixirs? Drink them. The best way is to drink a lot of elixirs and accumulate a lot of magic power. You don’t need magic power, physical strength, and mental balance like a wizard.”

“Really?”

“sure.”

Kim Magic’s eyes sparkled.

It looks like he wants to run to the elixir warehouse right away.

Matapju laughed loudly and took me to his office.

This time it wasn’t just the two of us.

Kim Magic, of course, and the elders sat together.

“First of all, I would like to express my gratitude.”

The rooftop terrace has opened.

“Thanks to you, one of our tower’s long-held desires has been resolved. You have relieved not only my grandson’s sorrow, but also the sorrow of the tower’s promising young talents and their parents.”

“No problem. I did it on commission.”

“Hahaha. How humble. How can someone be so talented and have such an outstanding personality?”

“It’s a natural talent.”

“He is a talented person who fits our rooftop.”

“I wish two years would pass quickly. Hehehe.”

The elders also laughed as they talked about virtue.

Matapju stops laughing and becomes serious.

As I gestured in the air, a burst of light appeared and a crystal box appeared.

Inside the correction box.

There was a memory chip floating around that looked like a small transparent USB.

“It is the promised sunfire.”

“thank you.”

“I still don’t understand. Why did you ask for something you didn’t need?”

“I need it.”

“I appreciate you giving me the beginnings of the Phoenix Flame Magic, but I can’t just give it to you. Let’s make a magical oath like you said.”

Not for use, not for leakage, not for copying.

I happily completed the magic oath.

When I break the memory chip, a golden sun rises in my head.

A sun composed of numbers, magic letters and geometric shapes.

It can be equipped, but cannot be used.

Because of that wizard’s limitations.

The top stared at me intently.

“What do you think? Do you get it?”

“Not at all.”

I didn’t even try to switch traits.

I vividly remember the time when the saint forcibly baptized me.

Since the Magic Tower Master is a monster of the same level as the Saintess, you should refrain from switching traits in front of her as much as possible.

It’s looking good now, but how do you know when it’ll change?

“If you want, I can let you enroll in the Magic University. How about changing your profession to a swordsman?”

“Thank you for your kind words, but I will have to decline. I am not very smart either.”

“That’s too bad.”

He only says so, but he doesn’t seem to be showing any regret.

Just something I said.

“Isn’t it a bit disappointing to only have the sun flame? I gave it to you because you wanted it, but you can’t use it right away anyway.”

“I am quite satisfied.”

“No. No. I’m not satisfied. I received something from you, so I should repay you. Bring it.”

Squeak.

The door opened and four wizards came rushing in, carrying a golf bag.

Similar to the golf bag I used to carry around.

It was much more luxurious.

It was made by weaving together black magic thread, and the surface was beautifully designed with a magic circle using gold thread.

So much so that I feel bad about carrying it around.

‘uh?’

But it’s strange.

It’s just a golf bag, but it’s so soft on the outside that it feels like it’s empty on the inside, and there are four magicians clinging to it and making a fuss.

thud!

The ground shook as I put down my golf bag.

Matapju pointed to the golf bag while spinning.

“Listen.”

What is it? Is it a trap?

Holding the golf bag in one hand, right······

uh?

be heavy.

It felt heavier than the golf bag I usually carried, the one I stuffed with guns and grenades.

If it was level 1, it would have been impossible to lift it without strength.

“What on earth did you put inside?”

“Well? What could it be?”

Matapju just laughed like a mischievous child.

Even when I touched the outside, I only felt a strange texture.

The contents were not touched.

It’s all about the soft, cloud-like, and squishy, slime-like texture.

‘if?’

I’ve heard of it.

I quickly opened my golf bag and looked inside.

The golf bag was full of 50,000 won bills.

Not in a golf bag, but in a spacious space like a car trunk.

Not in bundles of twenty or thirty, but in numbers that should be counted at least in hundreds.

“oh my god!”

My mouth just drops open.

It’s a magic bag!

And it’s not just any ordinary life magic, it’s a space expansion magic!

Among the magics, the ones that are difficult to grant a bag for are time magic and space magic.

I’m not sure exactly, but I think this golf bag has a 4x magnification.

It’s worth calling this.

It’s almost like carrying around just one car trunk.

Even though there is no weight loss magic, this alone is amazing.

“What do you think, do you like it?”

“Yes, I really like it. Oh, are you giving this to me?”

“You have to give me this much. Your golf bag is already an eyesore. Why would a level 3 superhuman carry around something like that?”

Well, it’s free.

An item given to me as a service by the gun shop owner.

But it was still sturdy and easy to use.

“What’s the money inside? Are you going to give me this too?”

“Oh, okay. I’ll give you some pocket money.”

“Pocket money? Hahaha. It seems like it’s almost 5 billion.”

“That’s about it.”

“5 billion is pocket money?”

“Yes, it’s pocket money. I can buy you a snack when I’m bored.”

Matapju responds calmly.

Is this life at level 8?

In the past, the head of Jeil Security gave him 1 billion won as pocket money, but Matopju went one step further.

I tried carrying the golf bag on one shoulder.

A weight of nearly 100 kilograms.

I expressed my gratitude politely.

“Thank you. I will use it well.”

“Okay, okay. If you have any difficulties or problems in the future, feel free to call me.”

The matapju took out a business card from his wallet and handed it to me.

A plain, square white business card without any gold or sun.

The elders’ eyes lit up.

“It seems that the Lord Top really likes Kim Cho-in.”

“I thought you’d give me that.”

“Isn’t this the Lord’s personal number?”

“Oh, really. A number that wasn’t even given to the president······”

Maybe this one business card is more valuable than a solar flare, a space-expanding golf bag, or 5 billion won in cash.

I came home after a whirlwind business trip.

Fatigue came belatedly.

I soaked in the magic bathtub and stared blankly at the ceiling.

“It’s level 8······”

Ma-Tap-Ju, who acted like a friendly grandfather in the neighborhood.

But the magical waves that occasionally appeared were real.

If I get angry and cast magic, I’ll be able to destroy mountains and fill rivers.

I want to be level 8 too.

I want to go beyond level 8 and reach the top of the world, level 9.

For that to happen, you’ll need to start from level 4.

I looked at my face reflected in the water of the magic fountain.

“Now is just the right time.”

The body is fully developed.

The magic circuit is also fully established.

I have also gained plenty of practical experience.

There is nothing wrong with me, mentally or physically.

All indicators were screaming that it was time to level up.

Then you should drink it.

The nectar I was saving.

And then it leaps.

To level 4.
