I Am The Sorcerer King chapter 20
Chapter 20
– I’m at home.
Song Hoon returned to his beautifully rebuilt home. His only sight pleased the guy and raised his mood. Due to the fact that solar panels generated a significant amount of electricity, there was no need to overpay the bills.
In fact, if there is electricity, then the magician can do anything, because he could convert electricity into mana, and then, with its help, create water, grow plants and so on.
If the world becomes even worse in the future, then, having slightly improved this house, it will be possible to live in it without feeling inconvenience.
Unfortunately, he did not possess magic with which it would be possible to convert solar energy into electricity.
The owner looked around his house contentedly.
“We need to learn new technologies and knowledge. Study semiconductors, for example, and also electrical engineering and IT technologies. Hmm … I still have so much to do, “he thought.
Reflecting, he took off his shoes and went into the living room. Mom and her friends were gone.
“Hike, everyone’s gone somewhere,” Sung Hoon realized.
He shook his head and went into his room and changed his clothes.
“By the way, isn’t it time for my mother’s friends to return to their home? They sit here almost every day. Well yes. They are comfortable. While they are visiting, the children are not at home, the husbands are at work, “the constant presence of strangers irritated me a little.
After changing into comfortable clothes, Sung Hoon headed to the basement.
“We’ll see. It seems like they said that all the things I need have already been delivered … ”
It was reported that HD Group employees themselves delivered his things and put them in the basement. It didn’t matter that all objects were examined, even magic circles. Because, if you do not know the magic of restoration, they were just useless things.
He went into one of the basement rooms. There was a large box next to the magic circles. Inside, it was filled to the brim with minerals.
“As I thought, big companies work very well,” the guy said with satisfaction.
Minerals. The starting material for creating precious stones.
***
A bright light emanated from Sung Hoon, who was sitting in the center of the magic circle.
[Additional magic circle created.
Reached Rank 3.]
The familiar message sounded.
The light began to fade little by little, and he opened his eyes.
– It seems that I achieved this much faster than in my previous life, – the guy smiled broadly.
His mana has reached 300 units. This was the second tier limit.
Having absorbed this amount of mana, the mage gains the third rank.
– And now…
He rose from his seat. His options were now broader, as triple rank meant triple spells were available.
Song Hoon walked over to the box and took out a couple of pieces of ruby ore, and he also took a chisel that he had used before.
– Sharpness. Amplification, – the guy directed magic at his instrument.
The chisel lit up. Sung Hoon slowly began to work on the lump of ore, but his method was slightly unconventional.
He began to work it not in the form of a crystal, but in the form of a puzzle piece. A few hours later, the hunter had several ready-made pieces in his hand, and when he connected all these pieces, a cube was obtained, exactly the same as the previous cube of mana. However, its size was slightly smaller.
“As the lord of mana, I command you: change, merge. Change, connection, “he said.
[Skill “Fusion” acquired.
Skill “Connect” acquired.]
Ignoring the system’s alerts, Song Hoon continued.
– Let the two become one. Connect, objects.
[Skill “Connect Objects” acquired.]
The ruby pieces in the hand became one. Until recently, he held an object that consisted of fragments, and now it has become a solid cube.
[Skill “Create Magic Items” is used without system support.
Practical skills are improving.]
[Skill “Create Magic Items” increased by 1 level.]
[Skill “Create Magic Items” increased by 1 level.]
[Skill “Create Magic Items” increased by 1 level.]
[Skill “Create Magic Items” increased by 1 level.]
[Skill “Create Magic Items” increased by 1 level.]
Alerts came one after another.
– Hmm?
[Skill: Craft Magic Items (LV: 6)
A skill that allows you to create magical things.
Additional ability: Linking items ]
Looking at the newly-populated notifications, Sung Hoon chuckled.
– Hmm, I should try.
He pulled out the mana cube he had used earlier. He was now holding a ruby cube in both hands.
– Creation of magical things.
The new Ruby Cube and the old Mana Cube are fused together.
[You have successfully crafted a Masterpiece Artifact!
[Skill “Create Magic Items” increased by 1 level.]
[Skill “Create Magic Items” increased by 1 level.]
[Skill “Create Magic Items” increased by 1 level.]
[Skill …]
There was a continuous noise from the warning sounds. In literally an instant, the skill reached level 16. Sung Hoon felt like he was not keeping up with his abilities.
– Let’s see … It seems not bad. I didn’t even think about the design, but it turned out beautifully. Hmm, in that case … – the guy muttered.
He looked closely at the cubes, which merged into a bizarre shape, as if one cube fit inside another. Then he took out a silver spiral wand from the box.
– What if you combine it with this? Let’s see if I can create something cooler.
He attached the connected cube to the wand.
– Creation of magical things.

HD Group Holdings.
It was a branch of HD, with a slightly different name. In fact, no business was conducted there, this department only owned shares of other HD Group subsidiaries. HD Group Holdings owned approximately 30% to 50% of each of the companies.
We can say that this branch had the right to manage.
In the past, despite the small number of shares held under the working capital method, they dominated the management rights. But now they firmly own the shares and control the enterprise.
In fact, many businesses have acted this way recently.
Among the HD Group affiliates, the most successful were HD Electronics and HD Monster Industries. HD Electronics were the kings of home appliances, and HD Industries were the first in the world to recycle monsters, craft various items from their bodies, and also sell them.
There were many types of products made from monster bodies. For example, a motor from a core or an electric generator from a core. Such items were one of the classifications of monster products.
Sometimes HD Electronics and HD Monster Industries worked together. For example, for the production of semiconductors using cores.
In any case, HD Holdings was the backbone of the HD Group. And within the walls of their headquarters now sat Lee Gi Suk, General Manager of HD Monster Industries.
– Hexa-capable? Is this … is it true? – asked the director of HD Holdings Park Dae Suk.
He inherited the company from his father, Park Jin Ho, and was known for making the business more successful under him than before.
His age is 52 years old. But, as the owner of a giant company, he belonged to the younger generation. Over the years, he managed to raise HD Group, which before him was not even at the top in Korean financial circles, to second place.
In fact, one could say that he is the head of the big business that divided Korea. In fact, CEO Lee Gi Suk had never dreamed of being able to talk to him in person like this before. Previously, he personally communicated only with those who were only one step higher in office. He never even met the director of HD Monster Industries.
– Yes, director. We checked everything, “Lee Gi Suk replied excitedly.
Park Dae Suk, who was comfortably seated in the conference room chair, was looking over the report.
– Leader Kim, what do you think? – the director looked at the man present there and then.
Leader Kim In Gi. The man who was called Park Dae Suk’s right hand. His position is Assistant Secretary to the Director. He also read the report.
– He has extremely outstanding abilities. I think in the future he will be able to enter the five of the best awakened in the whole world, – the secretary expressed his opinion.
“But he has become popular not only because he has many outstanding abilities, hasn’t he?” Said the director.
– Yes. In fact, fighting monsters is exhausting people both mentally and physically, and many hunters give up this activity halfway. But after looking at him, I think that this awakened one will continue to evolve.
– Why not?
– First of all, I judge by his actions. Even the most confident person will not be able to calmly withstand the bullets. The best tanks can’t do that.
– You mean he’s very tough?
– Yes exactly.
The director looked at Li Gi Soka.
– What do you think, general manager?
Lee Gi Suk began to speak calmly.
– I certainly agree with you, director. In fact, after being moved to a new home by our staff, there was no emotional distress behind him.
– Yes, I saw it in the report.
“Sir, there’s something else… It’s just our guess, so it’s not on the report, but… it may even be hepta capable.
Kim In Gi’s gaze flickered slightly, and Park Dae Suk seemed interested.
“Do you have proof?” He asked.
– Yes. According to our investigation, he had an item that he had not purchased anywhere. He called it “mana cube”. We still don’t know what it is, ” Lee Gi Suk said. “In other words, we think he has the ability to create.
“But that’s not all, is it?” The director kept his gaze on the general manager.
– Yes, there is more. This is a large amount of precious ore and metals that he requested. And also a special room that was built in the basement of his house.
Park Dae Suk laughed at Lee Gi Suk’s words.
