I Am The Sorcerer King chapter 28
Chapter 28
– And you … are constantly developing?
– Yes. Exactly.
“Ooh …” Lee Gi Suk breathed.
His face showed how tired he was.
– I will tell you honestly: such abilities as you did not have and will not be. This is the first such case in the world. Yes … I think you are one of a kind.
Well, unless there is an Awakened One like me who is reborn, Song Hoon thought. – And it’s not just magic, there are stories about those who are born with memories of their past lives. Well, the truth is, I was a great magician, and they are just people. ”
The guy shook his head, thinking.
– Yes, perhaps it is.
– Therefore, the head office could not make up their mind for a very long time. We have never dealt with people like you, – explained the executive director.
– True?
– We want to improve the terms of your contract. But in return there is one condition: it will be for ten years. How do you like that? Lee Gi Suk waited anxiously for an answer.
– Improve my contract …
“Of course, there were no more Awakened ones like me. Even the Akasha system gave a sign that it was personally watching me. She probably knows now what knowledge I possess. It’s a deity. ”
Song Hoon was slow to respond to the offer. Here it was worth thinking well, which the guy did.
– How will the conditions change? – After a pause for a while, he asked.
“We offer you a hundred billion won and the ability to purchase government-made magic items at cost. And also a profit of 10: 0.
– And my part is ten?
– Of course.
– What is the meaning of such a contract, where there is absolutely no profit for the company?
– The point is that keeping the strongest Awakened in our company is already a profit for us. But, of course, such conditions never existed. In fact, even the past terms of your contract were already the best in the world.
Sung Hoon nodded in response to Lee Gi Suk’s words. Such conditions were detrimental to the company. There is no profit.
Their marketing was to keep the strongest Awakened One. Only influence on sales and no profit.
In addition, Song Hoon’s future capabilities were highly rated. A situation worth the risk. After all, he could clear the dungeon alone.
“But ten years is still quite a long time.
Sung Hoon calculated all the profits and losses and decided that, in general, the option was not bad. But ten years is a very long time.
– Let’s go for five years. Then I will accept these conditions.
This time, Lee Gi Suk was frozen in thought. Beads of cold sweat beaded on his forehead.
“Acknowledged,” he finally agreed.
Song Hoon heard his words and rose from his seat. Lee Gi Suk also stood up.
***
In the living room of Sung Hoon’s house, Kim Do Jin was interviewed live on a huge TV screen:
– It was a huge yellow monkey, so strong that it cannot be called a low-level monster …
Song Hoon opened the living room door and entered.
Kim Do Jin pushed him back, but Sung Hoon was only too happy. He decided to hide the fact that he did almost everything himself.
This was also an arrangement between Song Hoon and Lee Gi Suk.
“It’s not time to flaunt all your abilities yet. You need to reach the fifth rank. Even though now I am already strong enough … ”
So the guy thought, taking off his shoes and walking into the living room.
– I’m at home! He shouted to his mother.
“Son Hoon!”
Mom rushed to him as fast as she could.
– You are not injured? – she began to feel his body.
– Well, mom, you saw everything recently, everything is in order! Do you hear? – the guy calmed her as best he could.
Suddenly, Mom swung and punched Song Hoon in the back. The blow was so severe that her son’s face wrinkled in pain.
– What a son! I asked you to inform me when you go to such places! The woman screamed.
– But if I said, you would start to dissuade me!
– I have to stop you!
– How can I not go? This is part of my earnings, I can not refuse, – the guy justified himself.
In fact, it was possible to refuse. But Song Hoon was curious to get into the dungeon and see what was there.
In addition, having visited it, he found out one thing for himself.
– Oh-oh … But still I can’t calm down in any way. Do you understand? – my mother explained her condition.
– Of course I understand. But don’t worry, really!
– Okay … have you eaten?
– Yes, I ate. I’ll take a shower first.
He had already washed himself once in the hotel, but accidentally blurted out that he needed a shower. The guy had to go to the bathroom. Mom looked at him anxiously.

Photos of the huge yellow monkey’s body have been released. All journalists were alarmed. TV channels were also busy filming.
– The appearance of an ogre-like monster in the dungeon …
– The Alpha HD Group team coped with the task. They…
Kim Do Jin, Min Ye Yeon, and Park Jin Suk smiled awkwardly. The broadcast was conducted not only in Korea, but also throughout the foreign countries.
After some time, the Players also got out of the other portals.
– These are the Awakened Ones! It looks like they are badly injured …
When they got out, some of the portals were left open.
– This is an emergency! .. – shouted the media.
– All of us in this situation are resolutely … – the politicians discussed the situation.
But that’s not all. Together with Korea, foreign countries also stood on their ears.
The number of awakened ones who were able to return from the portals became more and more. But there were those who failed to do this. Many Players died right in the dungeon, unable to clear it. This was indicated by a certain sign.
– It’s a monster! The monster appears from the portal again!
All cameras were directed towards the creatures and the Awakened.
Monsters burst from the portal again. This was a clear sign that the Awakened Within were dead.
On this occasion, many different TV channels were stirred up. A special edition of the program was launched on K-Media, where they discussed the situation:
” In the end, the problem is the level limit. Inside the dungeon, it is necessary to destroy the boss of the monster, but due to the limitation, this is almost impossible to do.
– Yes it is. When limited to level 50, if a level 49 Awakened enters a dungeon, he will no longer be able to leave.
– There is a team that was able to clear the dungeon without loss, right?
– Yes, there is. This is Team Alpha, owned by the HD Group. It is said that these Awakened Ones have extremely rare skills.
– As you already know, large organizations have already assembled such teams. Still, Team Alpha easily cleared the dungeon without loss.
– Even the best teams of the SH Group have not been able to clear the dungeon without damage.
– Perhaps the problem is team cohesion? Or is it all about ability?
– Most likely, the problem is both. But, nevertheless, fortunately, so far only portals up to the second rank have been opened. They have a limit like the 75th level, right?
– What if portals of the third and fourth rank appeared?
” It would, no doubt, be very dangerous.
– Starting from the 4th rank dungeon, there is a high probability that monsters will appear from there, which we classify as class A. Moreover, if there are not one, but many, it will lead to an incredible disaster.
From huge monitors on tall buildings and to small screens of smartphones, bold remarks from experts discussing the problem were pouring from everywhere. Along with them, the news of cleared and uncleared dungeons also sounded.
The world was definitely changing.
The people who sang the song of the development they had achieved with the help of civilization now faced new difficulties.
Themselves without even knowing the reason.

– I would like to ask you something else. Do you know how advanced the study of the Akasha system is? Sung Hoon asked.
The executive director shook his head.
“Not at all,” he replied. – Thanks to the Akasha system, skills and mana are available to us, and we can also use it in many technologies. We were given permission to conduct research, but for some reason unknown to us, we did not find anything. I think it’s just impossible to understand. Like, for example, we cannot know how our world was created.
Sung Hoon sat in the basement where his magic circle for absorbing mana was located and recalled his dialogue with Lee Gi Suk. By absorbing mana, he increased his strength.
“At first I was surprised by science with things that I did not know,” he reasoned. “But without any knowledge of magic, people did not conduct meaningful research into space and time, supernatural beings, and so on. It’s amazing how civilization has achieved so much without magic. ”
He looked at the sudden message that his mana had increased.
“We need to accelerate. The whole problem is the message that came from the Akasha system last time. ”
Radiance emanated from the magic circle. Increased mana messages have become more frequent.
“If the world is really changing, then I need at least the fifth rank. Only then will I be able to ensure my and my mother’s safety. ”
Song Hoon closed his eyes again.
“Dungeon. Gaps in space. If they continue to appear … then the end of the world is inevitable. The earth is already on the verge of destruction. “As an archmage, he was a good danger.
No one knows the secret. But it seems that Song Hoon already knew everything.
“It’s better here. In my previous life, it took months to collect one material, and now it hardly takes a day. I didn’t even know that the economically developed world could be so convenient. Anyway … it doesn’t matter now. ”
The guy began to consume mana again. The speed was unimaginable. The amount of electricity that passed through the magic circle was enormous.
“We need to hurry. Even if it takes a little work.
Song Hoon began to speed up the mana drain.
