I Am The Sorcerer King chapter 24

Chapter 24

– The world has changed. Portals now open not only in safe places.

– Yes it is, – confirmed the interlocutor. – In addition, there have been cases of changes in the portals when the Awakened ones approach them.

– Are you talking about the dungeon? – the presenter specified.

– Yes, the dungeon. We do not yet know what is inside, but in Vietnam, the Awakened have already begun to enter there, – the guest was silent for a while. – We still do not know how it looks from the inside, but we know for sure that this is a great risk to life.

“But you can’t leave the portal as it is, can you?

– Yes. This time, many portals have opened right in the places where people live. Dozens, and in some cases hundreds of bloodthirsty monsters emerged from them. This led to a large loss of life. And if you leave everything as it is, the monsters will continue to penetrate through the open portal.

An urgent debate on the current issue has opened on television. There are people who specialize in monsters.

Song Hoon was watching TV in his room.

He took out a gold box from his inventory. The item was small, it could easily fit in his fist, but Song Hoon knew it was an unusual item.

– The world is becoming more interesting. Even this thing is quite interesting, – he muttered, examining the gift.

The guy clutched the box in his hand.

“I used Search, Research and Analysis, but all I learned was that the box was made of an unknown material. Hmm … – Sung Hoon thought. – What kind of Akasha system is this? Even if the Lord is truly omnipotent, there must be consequences.

The wizard talked about what the people of this generation did not know. Even in his past life, only a select few possessed such information.

The God. World. These are secrets.

“This is an object that is very difficult to find…” He stroked the box. – But it is also made of gold. I wonder if it is rare or unique? Well, there’s only one way to find out …

The Akasha system gave people the power to fight monsters and, from time to time, presented such amazing gifts. In addition, there were very rare monsters from which similar items, the so-called “boxes”, also fell.

This time, the Akasha system presented him with a golden box as a reward for closing the portal.

It’s hard not to be surprised here. Modern humans have never been able to solve this riddle because they didn’t have enough knowledge to do it, but Song Hoon was different from them.

He is the archmage who climbed to the top. From the moment he reached the power of a demigod, he went beyond mere mortals.

Song Hoon opened the box. Suddenly a bright light spilled out of it, and a ring appeared before his eyes.

– Oh … – the guy admired this little thing.

The ring rose from its place and hung in the air at the guy’s eye level. A notification window appeared next to it:

[Auxiliary Calculation Ring

Rank: Legendary

Magic Attack Power: 100% increase

Mana consumption: 80% reduction

Mana Regeneration: 600% Increase

Features: Does not take time to cast spells of the third rank or lower.

Increases spell speed by 200%.]

It was a gift from the Akasha system to the one who forcibly closed the portal for the first time. Even a little divine power gave this item many functions.

“Wow, this ring allows you to cast third tier spells without casting. Not bad. “Sung Hoon shook his head enthusiastically. “It takes at least Rank 5 to create such a ring,” he whistled.

In addition, the ring allowed to reduce the mana cost by 80%, and the attacking power of magic increased by 100%.

This meant that the power of his magic doubled in an instant. But he could progress quickly without it, using solar panels every day to increase his mana.

It’s the same with magic arrows. Initially they were less powerful than bullets, but now they are comparable to large caliber shells.

In addition, due to the fact that the mana consumption will occur taking into account the capabilities of his rod and this ring, he will be able to use magic at least several thousand times a day.

But is that all?

Song Hoon cannot use abilities without casting yet. It will take time to learn magic spells. But with this ring, his life will become much easier.

– Well, great, I’ll take it with gratitude, – the guy put the ring on his finger.

[Item will become personal. Assign an item? Y / N]

– Naturally, – there could be no doubts.

[Item assigned.]

The alert faded and Sung Hoon’s face broke into a satisfied smile. Magic items are one of the main tools that make the wizard stronger.

“With this, I can hunt even better,” the guy stretched out his hand in front of him and admired the gift.

Suddenly the phone rang. Song Hoon picked up the phone and answered the call.

– Hello.

– Song Hoon, this is Lee Gi Suk.

– Ah, executive director. Division Chief Kim informed me of your promotion. Congratulations.

The other day, when Sung Hoon was talking to Kim Tae Hyun, he broke the news that Lee Gi Suk had become an executive director. Kim Tae Hyun, who was just a manager, was also promoted.

– Thank you. But this is not what matters now. I’m calling you on an urgent matter.

CEO Lee Gi Suk. He was not initially in a low position, but now he has become an executive director at all. This is just an incredible speed of moving up the career ladder.

The man’s voice could tell that he had called on a really urgent matter.

– Have you watched the news? Several portals appeared in the city a few hours ago. So many losses …

– Yes. I have seen. In fact, a portal also formed in my house, “the hunter replied calmly.

-What?! Lee Gi Suk jumped.

“ Don’t worry, I’ve already figured it out, ” Sung Hoon understood how his message worked.

He dealt with the monsters and the portal on his own. This could not but make a stunning impression on his interlocutor.

In fact, Sung Hoon coped with his home because he had a connection with his magic circles that were inside. In such conditions, he had a whole sixth rank. By constantly improving his magic equipment, he developed and became stronger.

In addition, the wizard must always be ready.

– Understood? It’s like … “Lee Gi Suk was shocked.

– I forcibly closed the portal.

– It’s true? Did you enter the dungeon through the portal? – the CEO was incredibly surprised.

– No, I didn’t go into the dungeon. I have the skill of closing a portal.

“Oh …” Lee Gi Suk exhaled. – It really is … It’s hard to say. This is … – the man could not find words. “I may ask how is this even possible?” The director finally formulated the question.

– This is my characteristic ability, but at the moment I can only use it at home. It became a special place for me to develop.

“A-ah-ah…” drawled Lee Gi Suk. – And the portals outside your home …

– Yes. I cannot close them yet.

– That is, in the future it is possible? – the director perked up. – Is it all because of the level?

– You guessed it.

The guy was a little cunning, because the matter, in general, was not only in the level, but also in the amount of mana accumulated by Song Hoon. But on the other hand, they are almost the same thing.

“You amaze me.” Lee Gi Suk rubbed his hands. “Now we have another reason to support you,” he added.

– Haha, thanks. By the way, did you say that there is an urgent matter?

– Oh, yes, sorry, I was too impressed … – the man caught himself. – First, there is something I need to ask you.

– And what is it?

– What is your level at the moment?

***

Song Hoon sat in the back seat of the Bentley.

– Wow! – the car interior was simply gorgeous.

There was a wine bar in the back seat. The small refrigerator contained several bottles of wine, which was undoubtedly very expensive. The smell of leather seats was in the cabin. It was certainly a pleasure to be in such a car, and Song Hoon couldn’t help but be delighted.

“We’ve arrived, sir.

– Thank you, – the guy said goodbye and got out of the car.

Myeongdong Street. It is usually teeming with people, but now it has become surprisingly empty.

Instead of pedestrians scurrying back and forth, there were fully armed military men and people similar to the Awakened around.

“What a mess going on here …”

Several bodies were also visible on the ground. They were all the corpses of yellow monkeys. They are not very strong monsters, their height is about two meters. Outwardly, they looked like a cross between a monkey and a gorilla.

These monsters had a special skill called Mental Confusion. But this ability stopped working if there was a support with a buff nearby.

Yellow bodies were scattered here and there. Utility workers were just in the process of cleaning the street from them.

“There were several hundred dinosaur-like creatures that time. Here, probably about the same amount? ” – the wizard recalled.

– Song Hoon, here! – he heard a cry.

Lee Gi Suk personally came to the scene. With him was the head of the department, Kim Tae Hyun, as well as unknown employees of the HD Group.

Behind him were the people that Song Hoon is always happy to see. These were the Awakened, with whom he hunted several times: Kim Do Jin, Park Jin Suk, Lee Jin Soo, Min Ye Yeon, and Shin Sang Jin. It was Team Alpha.

– Oppa, haven’t seen each other for a long time! – the healer girl greeted him with joy.

– Haven’t seen you for a long time, Ye Yeon.

– I told you, you can address me on “you”.

– Ha-ha, – the guy smiled, – a little later.

Song Hoon dodged the conversation and began to greet the rest of the team. They have not seen each other for about a month.

They only have one way to restore mana, unlike Song Hoon, because he could quickly restore it with electricity or accumulate on his own.

In fact, this whole month, while the others were restoring mana, the guy was constantly hunting and made a lot of money.

Now the members of the Alpha team were at higher levels than his, but their combat strength was much lower.

– By the way, is everyone aware of the situation? Lee Gi Suk asked. – I’ll explain everything to you now. First, let’s move to a different location, the CEO suggested.

A portal trembled behind him.
