A Reincarnated Person With a Sub-Dimension

Episode 10

“Always remember to be careful. If you feel dangerous, run away without looking back.”

As I stood in front of the door to leave the house, my eldest brother spoke in a clear, thick voice.

“Okay, brother. Don’t worry.”

My eldest brother has repeated the same words over 10 times since breakfast.

“Hyung. Your ears must hurt. Our maknae has a good trip. Be sure to write a letter so that the hyungs don’t worry.”

“Uh. I’ll call you often. Then I’ll go now. Big brother, I’ll go now.”

The longer the goodbye, the bigger the regret.

We ended up saying goodbye to our brothers with a hug.

Smart Carly looked at us with a shy face, perhaps feeling something strange.

“Carly, listen carefully to the hyungs. You’ll have friends soon, so don’t fight and have fun.”

I urged more shepherd dogs for the safety of my brothers.

So the brothers decided to adopt two more.

After stroking Carly’s hair, I moved to the permanent residence.

When I arrived at Yeongju Hall, Richard greeted me.

After a brief exchange of greetings with Richard, I headed to the study to see Uncle Harbert.

“…So always keep in mind. In order to survive as a mercenary, you must first accurately grasp your skills.”

Uncle Herbert gave me tips for my success and safety for a while.

Then he unwrapped the sword he always wore and put it on the table.

“It is a sword mixed with true silver. It will be useful as it can pierce the skin of monsters.”

The blade in the black wooden scabbard seemed to be about 40 cm long.

“You’re giving me something so precious?”

True silver is a metal with extraordinary strength and ductility, and was more than 10 times more expensive than gold of the same weight.

“I’ve only been carrying it around like a habit. I have it, but since it’s a mana item, wouldn’t it be better to give it to someone who needs it? Be careful, it can cause greed, so think carefully before taking it out.”

When using long weapons, auxiliary weapons in preparation for close combat were essential.

I was thinking of getting a suitable sword, but I couldn’t be this grateful.

It is also a great rudeness to refuse something given by an adult.

I bowed my head and said hello.

“Thank you. I will write very well.”

“Okay. Let’s finish here and go before it’s too late.”

“Yes. I will contact you often. See you later.”

When I left the study and came down the stairs, my brother Richard was standing there.

Richard took out a small leather pouch and handed it to me.

“My father gave it to you.”

I heard a jingle, so it must be a money bag.

“Give me all these things. Instead, say thank you.”

“Yes. I wanted to add some, but as you know, I can’t afford to buy elixirs.”

“Say something like that. How grateful I am for seeing you off like this.

I left my older brother Richard behind and went to the village chief’s house.

Even if a freedman is free to change his residence, he must report to the person in charge of the census when settling or moving.

All administrative work in our village was done through the village chief.

The village chief had lost a lot of energy in about a year.

There was a bit of resentment in the chief’s eyes as he looked at me.

With a short sigh, the village headman closed the door and entered the house with the words to leave carefully.

After all the work in the village, I finally set out on a journey to the border.

Our village is located at the southernmost tip of the Earldom of Stoke.

The destination, the border city of Erita, is located in the northernmost part of the Earldom of Stoke, and it took about a month to arrive at the speed of ordinary people.

‘Wouldn’t it be better to use the Guan Dao to get there quickly and safely?’

The city-to-city roads were managed and protected by local lords, and customs and tolls were collected in return.

Originally, the main purpose of Guandu was to transport troops and war materials to major cities during war, so it was built far from small villages like ours.

I recalled the route I had known in advance and ran in the direction of Guandu.

Even with mana, my speed was like a galloping horse.

It was possible to pass through the quiet country roads now, but it was planned to move at a moderate speed so as not to cause problems in the heavily populated Gwando.

About 30 minutes passed.

After passing through three villages, I was able to arrive near Guando before I knew it.

In the meantime, I felt a subtle emptiness different from hunger as I used up all my mana.

The time that a third-tier samurai can use mana at full strength is about 30 minutes.

However, during battle, mana was used only at the moment of need, so it was possible to fight for hours.

In actual battlefields, it is said that there are more cases in which health is depleted than mana is depleted.

‘I’m going to replenish mana for a while.’

As the consumption and accumulation of mana is repeated, the mana sensitivity improves, albeit weakly.

So I used and recharged mana as often as possible in order to develop my lacking talent even a little.

I currently have the maximum amount of mana a 3rd tier warrior can build.

Usually, in order to reach my level, it takes about 15 years of training for 4 hours every day based on the lowest level of simbeop.

However, I achieved it in just one year by utilizing sub-dimensional mana.

Sub-dimensional mana, reminiscent of hot spring water, turns into a huge amount of steam as it passes through the palace.

After that, the water vapor flows into the sea of ki (气海) below the navel, and the amount of mana accumulated at this time reached dozens of times the reality.

I thought that the duration of my stay in the sub-dimension was about 2 hours, so it would be about 30 times that.

Even Uncle Herbert doesn’t know that I’ve risen to the third place.

It was possible because there was no way to know the amount of mana someone had unless you injected mana into someone else’s body.

The rate at which mana accumulates is determined by talent, mental methods, and the environment.

In my case, it was impossible unless I drank the elixir like water.

It’s not that I don’t believe in Harbert, but it’s just in case you don’t know that it’s a human thing.

A unique ability that cannot be shared with others.

There was no need to start a fire in the yard where there was no way to explain it properly.

My concern these days was how to get to the proficiency level.

To gain enlightenment, you need to raise your mana sensitivity.

There is nothing better than changing the density of mana to increase mana sensitivity, such as when using and recharging mana repeatedly or using magic circles and elixirs.

‘It seems like I’m getting a bit of a feel for it.’

Even the magic circle that was installed with a huge amount of money was all about increasing the density of mana by about 4 times.

However, I practice every day feeling the difference in density, which is about 8 times that of such a magic circle.

If my talent had been a little better, I might have reached the 4th place a long time ago.

One unfortunate thing is that the stay time in the sub-dimension is too short.

When I saw the jewels change every time I went to and from the sub-dimension.

I make a reasonable guess about what changes will happen if the remaining empty slots are filled with gems.

But that method was in vain.

Now, it is a situation where it is impossible to obtain clear results through simbeop training.

So I’ve been concentrating on improving my Simbeop skills lately.

Engraving mana simbeop is similar to carving on wood following a rough sketch.

I was worried that if I just listened to it, my soul would be hurt, but like the body, the soul also grows and recovers, so there was no problem.

But it’s true that scratches, if not scars on the soul.

Since the training of simbeop is done through the soul, the greater the damage to the soul, the less effective the simbeop is.

Efficiency here refers to how quickly the accumulated mana can be transferred and used without waste, not the accumulation rate of mana.

The thickness of the engraving can be reduced up to twice.

The stages of training are divided into beginning, maturity, and extreme. Each time the stage goes up, the thickness of the engraving decreases by one-tenth and the efficiency increases by 10 percent.

If you get used to the Simbeop to a certain extent, you can climb the stage of maturity without difficulty.

However, climbing to the extreme was not possible without hard work and talent.

The sharper the blade, the easier it is to damage.

In order to make a blade sharp enough to reach the extreme stage, it was necessary to harden the spirit and set the blade black.

After passing through three villages, the road leading to the village finally appeared.

The road seemed wide enough to accommodate three or four wagons.

On the road, people who seemed to be commoners were busy moving.

Looking closely, I was in the process of restoring a road damaged by snow and rain in the winter.

Among them were some children who looked less than 10 years old, and were carrying large baskets of gravel or carrying rocks with their tiny bodies.

‘Looks like they’re people living around.’

During a conversation with a merchant in the past, I remembered hearing that the maintenance of the government road was the main business and source of income for the surrounding villages.

After climbing the Guanyin.

I ran at the speed of a marathon runner.

Usually, when traveling long distances, they move about 30 kilometers a day to balance their stamina.

However, since what I have left is my stamina, I moved as quickly as possible without being noticed by others.

There were so many people coming and going in Guando.

And most of them were wearing plain clothes without weapons.

This was an indirect indication of how safe Guando was.

Everything in Blanton’s kingdom is focused on defending the kingdom from external aggression.

Looking back on his previous life memories, he said that standing armies in past countries were quite large even if they only accounted for 3 percent of the population.

However, Blanton’s kingdom maintained an army of over 10 percent of its population even in peacetime.

Fortunately, there were fewer external enemies that threatened the very existence of the race, so there were fewer fights or exploitation among humans.

For example, in the case of a dispute between nobles, the dispute was covered by a duel trial under the supervision of the king or pope.

In addition, since each commoner was a resource to protect the border and procure war supplies, excessive exploitation was punishable.

It ran non-stop for over half a day.

I stopped running as the sun set halfway through the sky.

Not for any particular reason, but because I met a merchant who came to our village a few times when I was young.

The merchant’s name is Kit.

Uncle Kit’s destination was Erita, like me.

Is there any job that is as sensitive to the latest information as a merchant?

I gained a lot of information about Erita using the intimacy I had accumulated in the past.

According to Uncle Kit, the large-scale inundation of monsters ended about a year ago.

So these days, the number of monsters has decreased a lot, and instead, monster species are making a fuss, and it is said that large species are especially a problem.

It was not bad news for me, who was still not good enough to deal with monsters.

Uncle Kit’s party, who were very curious about my identity, were very surprised when they found out that I was a commoner.

When I heard the reason, it was because I thought that he must be a nobleman after seeing his beautiful appearance and high-class language.

Some of them took a close look at my skin.

He said that clean hands without any blemishes are something that a commoner man could never have.

Uncle Kit chuckled and said that he was a commoner, but he still treated me very carefully, perhaps believing me to be an aristocrat.

As we talked about this and that, the sun had almost set before we knew it.

“It’s all over. Ian-kun. That’s the view of Ekiever.”

I looked at where Uncle Kit pointed.

In the distance, I saw a huge castle soaked in the sunset light.
