I Am The Sorcerer King chapter 32
Chapter 32
Business disease. It sounds funny, but this is what Min Ye Young’s mother was ill with. Her father was an ordinary office worker, and her mother was always engaged in one thing or another, and could not stop. Therefore, her family had a lot of debt.
As a result, it has been a long time since her family lost hope of being harmonious. In addition, her father was diagnosed with stage 3 pancreatic cancer. The hour of his death was gradually approaching, and despite this, the parents decided to divorce. The reason was that the situation in the family deteriorated to such an extent that it became simply unbearable.
And at that moment, Min Ye Yeon became an Awakened healer, and signed a contract with HD Group, which was able to pay for her father’s treatment.
But once spilled water can no longer be collected together. Father and mother still divorced. They could no longer be together as before. As a result, all three began to live separately.
Since Min Ye Young paid off her mother’s debts, life improved a little, but the family was destroyed. However, it was better that way. If her father had died, Min Ye Young would not have been able to forgive her mother, because it was because of her illness that their family was destroyed by the business.
Memories washed over her again. She took off her beautiful shoes and went into the apartment, walked into her bedroom, changed into comfortable clothes and collapsed onto the bed.
For some time she lay like a corpse – face in the pillow.
– Besi-and-it! The girl moaned loudly.
She began swinging her arms and legs like crazy. After a while, she calmed down and rolled over onto her back.
– Phew, no, stop, that’s enough, we must stop … – she persuaded herself.
She looked at her phone. The screen displayed another message written by my mother:
[Daughter, help me! This is the last time, I promise. I am planning to open a cafe, this is …]
She glanced quickly at the text and tossed the phone aside.
– Today I had such a good mood … And again she spoiled it for me.
The girl completely drooped and buried her face in the pillow. Song Hoon’s words floated into her mind.
– Think about my proposal, and when you decide, let me know.
Min Ye Yeon immediately stood up sharply.
– Okay. I will do it.
She clenched her fists.
– And I will also tell my mother to stop being such a fool! What other business ?! She screamed out of anger.
***
– Fu-u-uh…
Song Hoon sat in a meditation posture and breathed slowly. He moved mana inside his body, causing it to flow even faster through the blood vessels around his heart.
As the amount of mana increased, the guy felt how it spread throughout his body, penetrating into every cell. Mana and body reacted. Now mana has changed from normal to life energy.
[Skill “Body Strengthening Technique” acquired.
Aura point gained.
Body strengthening technique (passive and switchable skill)
Level: 1
Description: A technique that creates an aura using the unresolved knowledge of this world.
Ability: permanent strengthening
Ability: Temporary Strengthening ]
Song Hoon opened his eyes and saw the message he had just received. What is it? Why is the description so short?
“Pf… The system has no idea what an aura is,” he snorted.
If we compare the aura with magic, then it is used much less often, but from the point of view of combat capabilities, this power is in no way inferior to it. And is she so neglected?
Clacking his tongue, the guy got up.
– Aura!
In fact, it is pure life energy, and its use has a huge effect on the body, strengthening and strengthening the body.
There are many high-level techniques that allow this power to be created, and one of them was used by Song Hoon now.
In his past life, this body strengthening technique was called “Dragon Heart”. By concentrating mana in his heart, he made the blood circulate with it to create an aura. During this process, the entire body undergoes changes.
Constant strengthening means that the body is strengthened for as long as the aura is active. Currently, Song Hoon’s physical strength has increased by about 10%.
Temporary strengthening means that you burn the accumulated aura of your body and, due to this, instantly significantly improve your physical abilities for a while. Although the aura in Song Hoon’s body is not that strong at the moment, he can already double his skills by about one minute.
Of course, in the future, when the amount of aura is greater, the percentage will also grow, and with them the skills. Additional effects can also be achieved through specific training.
In fact, having reached the third rank, it is not so difficult to learn the technique of strengthening the body itself.
“The problem is this: I don’t even have time to train magic, when should I train strengthening techniques?”
Wizards, to which he belonged in a past life, in general, do not really like physical training. They have always done this just to maintain health.
In a past life, to move from the eighth rank to the ninth, he mastered the technique of strengthening the body. In fact, he trained there only to overcome this border.
Or, in other words, so that his body can withstand the mana overload.
Wizards create a ring of mana around their hearts. This is their source of energy and strength. The problem is that the concentration of mana gets higher as the level rises. At the moment of transition from the eighth rank to the ninth, it is so high that the body can not stand it and burst into pieces.
In order to avoid this, Sung Hoon conducted various studies. There were several options: either to improve the body with the help of magic, or to become a master of the aura and adapt. Of course, there was another option to become a spirit, giving up his physical body, but he still had many things that he wanted to have time to accomplish by that moment.
Among all the options, he chose the path of becoming an aura master. In fact, the rest of the options were much simpler, but Song Hoon felt that he would not step beyond the ninth level in this way.
“But I was aiming for a higher rank. I wanted to reach my desired 10th level. ”
True, his knowledge in these areas left much to be desired. He avoided some of them on purpose.
“I couldn’t know absolutely everything. I studied the applied science of sorcerers and space. ”
On the other hand, one theory was enough to become a master of the aura. He tried it himself and saw many times how others became masters of the aura through the body strengthening technique he was using now.
– We need to prioritize, – the guy grinned.
In a past life, he enjoyed making plans, because if you think about everything in advance, then your actions will be much more effective and you will reach your goal faster.
Song Hoon got up and headed to his room, which was on the second floor. He noticed that no one was at home. Looks like Mom went to see her friend again.
Entering the room, he took up a marker and wrote down the first thing that came into his head on the whiteboard:
– In the 21st century, a democratic society is based on basic human rights …
Then I wrote down another sentence below:
– Plan to reach Rank 10.
And even lower:
– Alleged obstacles.
After writing all this, the guy thought, crossing his arms over his chest.
– Hmm … In fact, there will be many obstacles. From the side of the government, from various organizations, and even from other Awoken. And the biggest problem is how I can protect myself … At least I hope that this world is better than the past.
Indeed, it is better here than in the previous life. There is, of course, a civilized world here, and the standard of living that people create by their labor is increasing.
The political system is also better here. Perhaps because the modern world originally created a social system without taking into account any magical abilities. The former world was divided according to ability.
– Still, the best way to protect yourself is to use power. That’s why I got the Alpha team on my side … But that’s not enough. We do not know how long we will be able to use HD Group as our shield.
Speaking the problems out loud, the guy was slowly sorting out his thoughts.
“In the end, I’ll have to create an organization myself, gather the Awakened Ones who can be trusted,” he came to this conclusion. – Hmm … It probably won’t be easy. Even very difficult.
That is why in a past life he created a team of soulless humanoids. His forte is science, specializing in the creation of various golems and magic weapons.
The things that the wizard did in that lifetime, reaching level nine, were truly worthwhile. He created nuclear missiles similar to those in use today in the 21st century.
Of course, in this world it was possible to create humanoids, but the problem was in the land. Namely, there is no land in here that does not belong to anyone.
“Can build a city at the bottom of the ocean? – a thought flashed through his mind. “The land has no owner there.”
– No no. If I go that far, then I have to reach at least seventh rank. I can’t wait until this moment, – the guy rejected this option. “What to do…” He wrote the heading down on the board again.
And he began to write down the necessary tasks next to him.
– Increase equipment for the production of electricity.
Add a contractor. Find a person in charge of the organization. Build equipment to automatically produce artifacts. Start selling artifacts.
After writing everything down to this point, the guy sighed.
– There is a lot to do … Damn, I just want to quietly accumulate mana …
But, unfortunately, our desires often do not coincide with the possibilities.
It takes money to build mana quickly. Without a certain cost, you would have to accumulate mana in a simple way, and this is very inefficient. If you do this alone, it can take almost a thousand years to reach the desired level.
Will not work!
– Contractor, then … – he thought. – So, the search for my assistants can be postponed until later. Now I need …
The guy looked through the list and stopped at one of the points.
– First of all, we need to start with the expansion of electricity production. It won’t be difficult. Further more important, you need to find someone in charge of the organization. Hmm … in charge of the organization …
Mana. Even more mana is needed. And people are also needed.
