I Am The Sorcerer King chapter 22

Chapter 22

Taxes … In a word, it is torture. In fact, they are the same all over the world. If suddenly the taxes on hunting for monsters in each country became different, then the resettlement of the Awoken would begin.

If you earn, for example, a billion, then the tax will be 380 million. This is the net profit of the state. And yet, the higher the level of the awakened one, the more likely it is that he will leave for a country with lower taxes. Therefore, the whole world agreed to set the same conditions.

The guy, thinking about moving to a cheaper country, picked up the phone. A notification flashed on the screen that the money was credited.

– Thank you. Have a nice day. ” Song Hoon said goodbye and went outside.

“It’s a shame that I couldn’t continue hunting just because I didn’t have enough space in the truck. You have to wander back and forth, and this takes time. We need to quickly learn penta-spells … ”

Penta spells. This term meant the use of five magical abilities at the same time. For this, of course, you need to become a sorcerer of the fifth rank. Wizard, magician, archmage. There are only three steps. In a previous life, Song Hoon was one step higher than the archmage – he was a demigod magician.

“Now I’m only at the stage of a wizard.”

Compared to his past life, the guy was really still very weak.

“Maybe I was wrong to attack Akalluman?” Sung Hoon pondered and opened the truck door.

After exchanging the bodies of the monsters, he also handed over the car to the wash, so now it shone beautifully.

– They even provide a car wash! Indeed, HD Group has excellent service. Otherwise, it would not be very pleasant to drive home in a bloody car.

Son Hoon started the engine.

Mana recovery. This is a huge headache for hunters. After one hunt, it took a very long time to fully replenish supplies, but not for Song Hoon. After all, he was a wizard who could convert electricity into mana, and also quickly restore it.

But that’s not all. In the same way, a guy could increase his total mana, and this skill improved every day. In fact, in addition to being able to convert electricity into mana, Song Hoon was able to independently create a crystal called the “core.”

Only rank 7 archmages were able to create artificial crystals, but in fact, even they were poor at it. This skill was good for magicians only of the eighth rank.

Song Hoon regained his mana and went hunting again the next day. He was not an ordinary hunter. Of course, this information was reported to Lee Ki Suk.

– He went to hunt an owl? And this despite the fact that he was doing it yesterday?

– Yes. Now the guy is going to the hunting place. This can be seen from the GPS, which we installed with his consent.

– Absurd … I hope you are using a satellite?

– Yes of course.

The HD Group was one of the largest organizations in the world, so they had permission to use the satellite system. They have previously invested a lot in this business.

“But it’s worth remembering that this satellite is not really ours. Other investors will also receive this information.

Lee Gi Suk turned to the large window. It was a luxurious office, nothing like the one he had used before. The premises were located on the 82nd floor of the HD Monster Industries building. Enjoying the gorgeous view from the window, Lee Gi Suk spoke on the phone:

– It does not matter. Make as many videos as possible. We collect all the information we can find. Clear?

– Yes, sir.

– If there are unforeseen situations, be sure to report it.

– Got it, – was heard from the other side.

Lee Gi Suk hung up.

– Fuh … – he sighed loudly and thought

“Of course, he also has abilities that he hides. Most likely, it’s some kind of skill specialized in mana recovery. ”

His face became calmer and more peaceful, his gaze rushed out the window.

“Maybe he even has ten specializations, who knows. Although even hepta-capable people can hardly be found in our world … “- reflected the executive director.

He took a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. The big plus was that it was possible to smoke in his new office.

“In any case, we just have to keep him. Even if there is a shortage in the company.

– Try that too! Son Hoon’s mom said briskly as she set the table.

She prepared a lot of tasty things for her son.

– Mom, I’m not a child, stop it! – the guy made a displeased grimace.

Song Hoon was very uncomfortable, but Mom quickly found an answer.

– Why not a child? You can’t even eat normally yourself! I have heard that health is the most important thing for the awakened ones. What do you think? Why do you have a head on your shoulders?

Song Hoon couldn’t respond to his mom’s lectures. Because the fact that he ate poorly was pure truth.

– How can I eat on the battlefield? – he asked.

– I told you to take food with you. Why don’t you do this?

Sung Hoon’s mom made him lunch, but Sung Hoon left and didn’t take it.

– Next time I will definitely do so, mom, – promised the son.

– That would be right away. You need to eat well.

“In fact, if you have magic, you don’t necessarily have to eat a lot. You don’t even need to eat at all. And besides, if you miss one lunch, you won’t die … “- the hunter reflected.

Song Hoon could hardly contain himself not to say it out loud. These moral readings were very annoying, but … How long has he not heard them! And all due to the fact that for several years his mother was in a coma. Even if he wanted to hear her notation, nothing would come of it.

So now Sung Hoon was enjoying the moment. A wide, satisfied smile never left his lips.

– Why do you have such a childish expression on your face? – Mom asked when she turned to her son.

– A?

– By the way, when are you going to get married?

– Pf-f! – Song Hoon choked on water. – Mom, what kind of marriage?

“Mi Suk said she has a good candidate,” her mother replied calmly. – I already want to nurse my grandchildren!

– Mom, I am awakened! Seong Hoon rolled his eyes. – People shun people like me.

In fact, the awakened ones earned a lot. But they could not get a loan, and insurance companies did not accept them either. It was all the price of such a life. They were no different from mercenaries.

“I heard that there are awakened ones who succeeded and got married,” the mother launched a counterattack.

– Agrh, that’s enough! Song Hoon waved him off. – Do not start this topic, please.

In the end, Song Hoon interrupted this conversation, picked up a spoon, and began to eat. But his mom was a strong personality and didn’t want to back down.

“You just eat and listen,” she persisted. – I’ll say it anyway.

“Bli-i-in. Of course, I missed talking to my mom, but it’s just unbearable, “thought Song Hoon, chewing on food.

– Thanks for lunch, – the guy thanked.

He got up from the table and put his plate in the sink.

“Leave it, I’ll clean it myself,” Mom said.

“I can wash dishes, Mom,” the warrior replied. “You’ve cooked, and you’re probably tired. Rest.

– No, mom has to do it! – the woman resisted.

“I told you not to worry about this.

Eventually, they began to clear the table together. And suddenly an alert popped up in front of the guy’s eyes:

[You couldn’t get rid of the monsters completely!

The world is moving to a new level]

Sung Hoon’s expression changed dramatically.

– What is this?

***

Seoul, Mapo-gu, Sogyodong.

This area, commonly referred to as Hongdae, was a youth place. Indie bands and other musicians sang in the streets, and various shopping malls towered around like skyscrapers.

Tourists, shoppers and students from Hongik University roamed the streets. And also this place was often a meeting point. Among the streets in this area, the most crowded place was probably the ninth exit from the Hongdae subway station.

At this point, where the youth from the buses and the subway gathers, something happened that no one could have imagined. It all started suddenly. There was a sound as if from electromagnetic waves.

His ears were ringing. All the people around, hearing him, twisted their faces. Then a black patch appeared in the air. A man suddenly shouted with wide eyes:

– It’s a portal!

– Oh really!

The dark blot grew wider and wider. She took on an oval shape and began to look even more sinister.

– Damn, let’s run! Hurry!

– A? Why?

– Fool, monsters come out of the portals!

Some people were at a loss, others were surprised. Still others were embittered. The rest were just curious. In the middle of this noisy crowd, suddenly someone appeared.

If the portal opens, then a monster will come out of it. In the world, this could now be called the main rule. Usually portals appeared in deserted places, so there were those who decided that this was just a joke and nothing serious would happen.

But the first thing that comes to mind when you see a portal is, of course, the appearance of a monster. A creature that even the latest generation of weapons won’t take. The one that grabs and devours people. The people who realized this decided to run away.

However, not everyone was like that. Some did not understand the seriousness of what was happening, came closer to the portal and started filming everything with a phone camera.

– Wow, good shot! No one has ever filmed the portal this close. If you put it in …

But alas. The one who did not take what was happening seriously, duly paid for this life of his. A huge mouth emerging from the ever-growing portal bit off his head in one go.

– A-a-a!

– Run away!

People started scattering in shock. A dinosaur-like monster emerged from the portal. It resembled a Velociraptor that lived in the Cretaceous period, but its size was much larger.

It was a huge monster almost three meters in size. And he was not alone. Exactly the same monsters continued to appear from the portal.
