I Am The Sorcerer King chapter 7
Chapter 7
On the outside of the cube, he painstakingly drew a complex pattern. And now he is ready. In front of him was a cube with geometric patterns.
And a moment later:
– As the lord of mana, I command! Mana energy!
– As the lord of mana I command! Expansion!
[Gained the skill “Mana Energy”.]
[Gained the Expansion skill.]
Two skills were acquired at the same time. After that, the geometric patterns of the cube began to glow.
And not only the patterns, the whole cube glowed softly, but the pattern shone even more. Something unusual turned out.
And then.
[Skill “Magic” used without system support.
The skill level rises rapidly.
The level of the “Magic” skill has increased by 1 rank.

There were sudden alerts. Song Hoon chuckled as he looked at them.
– I knew it. I’m one step late. Well nothing…
[Gained the skill “Create Magic Items”.]
– Oh?
This time he just grinned. Then he lifted the cube he had made.
– Mana cube. This is the main and most effective weapon of magicians. “He smiled.
And he muttered:
– If I had enough time, I would not have to try to make money at this level …
Song Hoon remembered the balance on his bank card. His mom’s hospital bills are prohibitively high. If he had time, he could find himself a normal job as a great magician. But not right now.
– So. Now. The next level, the goals remain the same.
He gently brushed the kernels off the table and stood up.
First of all, it was necessary to make money. After all, this was the only way he could cure his mother.
***
– Your prior work experience is acknowledged. I will immediately give you your awakened ID card.
– Thank you.
Awakened ID card. At the very beginning, after awakening, it was necessary to appear at the registration authority of the awakened and submit an application. And, usually, if you were a civilian, you had to take a test and practice, and only then you could get a certificate.
The test was on the knowledge of information about various monsters, and the practical exam was to conduct a real battle with the examiner. However, in his case it was a little easier. There was a rule that if earlier, when a person did not yet have the appropriate abilities, he worked as a simple assistant in battles, then he was immediately given an awakened card. Such people were also called worker ants, and the time of that work was counted as personal experience for the awakened one,
Song Hoon, after receiving the awakened ID card, left the building. The sky was clear and blue. He froze for a few minutes, looking up at the sky. After a while, he roused himself.
“We need to pay a fee for the treatment of mom for the next month. After that, leave some money for running expenses. The remaining amount would then be approximately 26 million won. Now I need to purchase standard equipment. ”
For the awakened, equipment was needed, matched to his abilities. You cannot go hunting without equipment. Although, in fact, Song Hoon could go hunting without other equipment, having only a mana cube. After all, his abilities were different from others.
But there was one problem. He could not join the other awakened without any equipment. Without equipment, they would look at him like he was crazy. So Sung Hoon headed to the hunting store.
“We’ll see…”
There were enough places where the equipment was sold. Various shops were scattered in a space that looked like a shopping center. Therefore, the equipment was made by different manufacturers. And each of them had their own point of sale.
Song Hoon looked around and decided to go to one of the cheapest places. The manufacturer’s firm was called Bradley. They made various items to restore mana. All weapons from this firm were known to include the ability to restore mana.
– Welcome! Anything for you? – the seller turned to him.
On display were knives, rifles, bows and other weapons. But these were not the guns that used gunpowder. These were guns that shot magic in the form of bullets, that is, a kind of magic weapon. Apart from this, there were many different types of armor. Tissue. Leather. Iron.
“It’s all so … Interesting,” the guy looked around with curiosity.
As a great magician, he felt the flow of mana, and through the regularity of the flow, he could see what magical power an object possessed.
His mana level was now at around 15. He could not yet accurately determine the power of magic, but, nevertheless, in such close proximity it is difficult not to recognize magical objects.
In his opinion, at the present time, these items were very strange and disproportionate.
Most of the equipment had a similar level of magic. But still. Such primitive things were complemented by one important component. Akasha system. It has been built into every magical piece of equipment. It is she who maintains and strengthens inaccurate magical power.
“Director of Akasha. How brilliant is he to be so famous? ” Sung Hoon thought with respect.
After thinking for a while, he turned to the worker.
– Could you show me the armor and weapons for the support class? I can apply buffs and debuffs.
– Oh, you are from the support class. Come after me, – the woman invited.
Song Hoon followed the counselor.
The awakened ones are divided into tanks, healers, damage dealers and supports.
Tanks divert the attention of the enemy to themselves in battle, preventing them from attacking weakly defended allies.
The healers, of course, had healing powers.
Damagers dealt the main damage.
So who are the supports? These guys gave every possible support in the battles. Their duties include strengthening the attack or defense of allies, maintaining moral strength and distorting space.
And Sung Hoon, after all, could now call himself a support. Magic, of course, is not omnipotent.
***
“I am the leader of Park In Soo’s team,” the guy introduced himself, dressed in innovative design armor made of metal.
Instead of the commonly seen armor of a medieval look, he wore spectacular armor inspired by a similar design from science fiction movies. In one hand he held a shield, and in the other a hammer.
Tank position. Its task is to protect our troops and prevent enemy attacks. Usually the team leaders take the tank position. Therefore, it is not surprising that his image was appropriate.
After his introduction, the others also started introducing themselves.
“I’m a healer,” said the short-haired girl.
She chewed gum incessantly. She didn’t even bother to give her name. But everyone else did not react in any way to her behavior.
Healers are treated with great respect. They are called the noble class for a reason. This is due to their small number and the lack of healers who could participate in the battle.
– My name is Lee Chol Seung, I’m on a rifle. Nice to meet you.
– My name is Lee Sung Hoon. I joined as a support. I can buff and debuff, ” Song Hoon introduced himself.
Lee Chul Seung was holding a rifle that looked like a submachine gun. He had brooding eyes. And Kim Han Goo with two pistols at his waist made a slightly harsh impression. Both were about a little over 30 years old.
– Now my level is 5. The healer has level 3. And the damage dealers have both 10th. The support has level 1, but he has excellent skills.
Park In Soo, the team leader, decided to inform his fighters. A short briefing followed.
All of this was familiar to Song Hoon. After all, he worked for several years as a hunting assistant.
This is what happens every time. The method of defense against the monster, which is attacked by the team leader, is selected. The attack method is determined. Weaknesses are identified. There is a discussion of possible patterns of behavior for the monster. Indicates what you need to pay attention to.
Everyone was indifferent to it. In fact, the unexpected can always happen. But, if they are somehow hurt, then, of course, they will be helped. Song Hoon felt sorry for them within him.
“Well then, go ahead.” Park In Soo finished his speech and jumped into the truck.
The driver sat in front, and the others got into the back of the truck. Soon, all the awakened were seated in the trucks. Seats were installed in the bodies. It was necessary to sit down and not get up until the end of the path. This arrangement was adapted to ensure the possibility of a quick reaction when a monster suddenly appeared.
Br-r-r-r-u-u-u-um!
The truck started moving along the road. We soon crossed the last line of defense. The area where the monsters live is at a distance of at least 150 kilometers from where people live. The border between the zones was called the last line of defense.
Now that North Korea has disappeared after its collapse, the dividing line drawn to achieve a truce in the past is designated as the last line of defense.
The monsters heading south from here must be stopped no matter what. Actually. This is because the distance from the last line of defense to the capital of Korea Seoul is not that great.
From the beginning there was a plan to install a large wall here. But, according to calculations, it was cheaper to deploy detection networks and get rid of monsters if they crossed to the south side. Therefore, troops are now based here everywhere.
But, for example, China made a different decision in such a case. In the Amnok River area, the Chinese built a wall called Cholli Jeongseon. It was a thousand li long. In place of the old fortifications. Originally there was a fortress that was built in Goryeo to prevent the Yojin tribe from emerging during the reign of the Goryeo dynasty.
However, it was strange that China built a fortress to stop monsters from North Korea and named it that.
In fact, there were so many monsters in China that he shouldn’t even have time to take care of North Korean territory. They, of course, were still the engine of the economy, but the formation of portals and the appearance of monsters presented them with many other tasks.
Song Hoon remembered the old days as he felt the wind blowing. In his current life and not in his previous one, Sung Hoon, who used to be a decoy, was now sitting in the truck and wondering what he was going to do today.
Ordinary helpers sometimes act as bait. It was a greater risk to life, although the pay per day was three times higher than elsewhere.
“ I have a strange feeling. ” Song Hoon clicked his tongue and looked around.
Although they were on the roof of the truck, there was a glass shield in front to keep out the wind, so it was quite comfortable to sit. The short-haired girl who was chewing gum was still turning away from people with an indifferent expression.
“I heard that healers are arrogant, it’s common knowledge, but in my opinion she’s a little overdoing?” Thinking about that, Song Hoon checked his mana.
He now had 15 mana. Plus a cube of mana.
The mana cube rating was lower than in his previous life, but now it was full. Based on his mana level, using this cube doubles its recovery.
The magic power is also doubled. This is not a dual spell that combines two magic. Magic can be used infinitely if used as a single spell.
