I Alone Going To The Tower

Woodang!

I lost my center in the sudden sucking wind and rolled to the floor. I grabbed my sore knee and slowly opened my eyes.

it was just black

Is this the inside of the tower?

I carefully pulled out the smartphone from my pocket and turned it on.

'Miss, the liquid crystal is out a little.'

Even in the midst of this, it seemed that he was still alive as he was worried about the penalty.

With a light smile, I turned on the light function of my smartphone and looked around.

When the light came on, a table that looked like it was carved from solid wood came into view first.

Above it, strangely shaped glass tubes were entangled like a spider's web and stretched out in all directions.

Although it dried up, glass bottles that were thought to be filled with liquid were also found everywhere.

… … what's here laboratory?

An ominous feeling of foreboding slowly rises from the corner of my chest. Fireworks suddenly flew out of the dark space.

The light shone on me like a spotlight, and I stiffened as I stood.

- Detected a trespasser.

-Name, Kim Yoo-shin. Confirmed as 'Child of Mana' on the judo list.

-Release the dormant state of the horse tower.

A cold, low-pitched female voice was heard.

Then, a shimmering halo of light gathered in the dark air, and soon transformed into a woman with her eyes closed.

The moment I saw her shining silver hair and high, foreign red eyes that looked like the moonlight, I was convinced.

At least not human.

"I was waiting for you. Candidate Kim Yoo-shin."

A mysterious woman who had completely revealed herself said:

"Matap's will has determined that you have the most suitable conditions and qualities as the Master of Mato on this planet."

“…Yes? What…”

She quietly spread her arms.

Whoa ah ah ah!

At that moment, the world changed and a white light covered the world. The place where there was nothing but darkness turned over, and I fell into a world of pure white emptiness.

When I opened her tightly closed eyes, I floated with her somewhere in the air. A huge tower stood tall in front of her.

[The Horse Tower is the highest institution that had insight into the continent of Erendel.]

Our bodies quickly soared toward the tower.

Over the top of the tower, and reaching the distant sky, the flight was over.

As I bowed my head in the place where the clouds seemed to be catching in my hand, a city of unknown culture was spread out in the distance.

[Potions, golems, artifacts, climates, and even dimensions. With each floor unlocked, you will gain overwhelming skills and knowledge. Everything on the continent based on the power of mana… … .]

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Buildings, roads, fountains, and even palaces throughout the city. A magic circle unfolded simultaneously on the roofs of all facilities.

[All of them belong to the tower.]

'… … Five.'

There was a little bit of admiration. directing is good

[What do you want. Candidate Kim Yoo-shin.]

She turned her head and looked at me.

[Do you want to rule over the heads of Manmin? Do you want to uncover the truth of the world? hope Magic Tower has the power to make your wishes come true.]

Wrath!

The light fades and we return to the original dark tower interior.

What? Was it like a video?

"Candidate Kim Yoo-shin. I hope that you will lead the revival of the magic civilization by becoming the 14th mato."

She gracefully bowed her back and placed her arms on her chest.

"...Uh, um."

I was frankly perplexed.

This is so sudden.

I calmed my breathing for a moment and regained my composure. and asked.

"...what would happen if you became that mato?"

"You can monopolize magic on this planet."

At that moment, the accident stopped.

Magic? Is there really such a thing?

On Earth after the Overlay Incident, there are no hunters, but no wizards.

"This world has not yet realized magic."

She said as if she had read my thoughts.

"If you wish, you may be able to rule this world."

no what... … . Now it has come to conquer the world.

"Come on, candidate Kim Yoo-shin. Please answer."

She had a confident expression. It was taken for granted that I would accept the offer.

… … No, but.

Isn't it normal to have doubts about this at least once?

That woman was all just saying good things. If you become a matap master, he will give you money, fame, power, and even world domination.

But nothing is free in this world. You will definitely have to pay the price.

Giving up your soul, or shortening your lifespan.

The repertoire is plentiful.

As I withheld my answer and thought carefully, a little nervousness was added to her expressionless face.

Something smells fishy... … .

I decided to throw the rice cakes on once.

“Can’t we just think about it for a few more days before answering?”

I caught the moment her expression hardened.

"Question. I want to ask if this is a problem to be pondered over so much."

"Life is at stake, so you have to think carefully."

"An opportunity like this doesn't come to everyone. Please reconsider."

… … The logic of persuasion is strange.

"I can't understand. To become the master of magic in a world is an honor that cannot be more than this as a human being. What kind of worries do you need?"

… … So, please explain why this is an honor that cannot be more than this.

As I continued to react lukewarm, she became increasingly restless.

Her poker face had crumbled, and what could now be called an expression appeared on her face, and her fingers wiggled incessantly.

… … It's a bit pitiful for me to keep looking at it.

“Then be honest.”

"I will answer anything to the best of my knowledge."

“What kind of price do I have to pay for becoming a matap master?”

She tilted her head.

“There is no price to be paid.”

"Are there any such things as lifespans cut off, souls being mortgaged, being forever bound to the tower and unable to get out?"

"Negative. Everything is the freedom of candidate Kim Yoo-shin. If you want, you can become a mato and not have to come back here.

When she said that, her expression looked a little lonely.

“So, stock up…”

"There's really no cost, right?"

"of course."

I don't think I'm lying.

It's good to be cautious, but actually, I'm not in a position to just jump.

Even if I had to pay the price, I thought that it would be better than the life of a fool.

"I'll do it. That horseman."

Then her face brightened up.

"Then the candidate Kim Yoo-shin. Let's start the succession right away."

Fearing that I might change her mind, she quickly approached me and put her hand on my head.

stumble!

I staggered and leaned against the wall as a tidal wave of information rushed straight into her head out of nowhere.

Then the mana of the tower began to be sucked into my body.

“… 👑!”

It was the first pain I had ever felt in my life. No, to be precise, it was 'heterogeneity'.

Contrary to the pain caused by bodily damage, the overwhelming sense of heterogeneity and discomfort in which something unknown is filled from head to toe.

I couldn't really calm myself down.

"Shut up...!"

A scream escaped from his tightly closed mouth.

At this rate, I thought that she might lose her mind and become a bad person.

It was painful.

I felt like screaming for death, but no voice came out.

I frantically wallowed on the floor and scratched the wall with my fingernails, fighting the sense of alienation.

How much time has passed in such a state?

Finally, the sense of alienation began to slowly cease, and a new player message appeared in front of my exhausted eyes.

[Became the 14th mage master.]

[You have been granted the privileges of the Master of Mattap.]

[All ownership of the tower has been taken over normally.]

"Heh heh, heh heh... I"

As I stood up, the silver-haired woman knelt down on one of her knees and bowed her head politely.

"I see you, the 14th Ma Thap-ju."

At that moment, the light of the tower, which had only been dark, was turned on and the scene inside came into view.

"...!"

I was overwhelmed by the scene.

As if changing into new clothes, the traces of the years that had dried up after being buried for a long time were lifted and the peak of splendor appeared.

The walls and floors glistened in golden light were the end of luxury, and the presence of a chandelier shining brightly on the ceiling was displayed on the quiet furniture of medieval European style.

Fluorescent liquid flowed along the tangled tube on the shiny table next to it.

It was an unrealistic situation, but I remembered the last player message I saw.

'… … Now this is mine?'

In the 21st century era of hunters, I became the owner of the tower.

* * *

After doing what she called 'inheritance'. I was feeling a huge change.

First of all, mana felt better than before.

In the past, if mana was simply understood and operated as the movement of qi, now he was able to feel and control all the fine flow and nature of mana flowing in each blood vessel.

Not only that, but also added visual effects, and now I can distinguish mana by light and dark.

The blue light around it had a high concentration of mana, and on the contrary, it was a low place.

The first time you feel anything.

I think I should check the status window once more. I do it like a habit every day, but somehow I feel more nervous today... … .

Name: Kim Yoo-shin

Unique Ability: Sage's Eye.

Personal Attribute: [Child of Mana Lv.1] [Over-immersion Lv.6] [Analysis Lv.1]

Basic stats: [Magic 58] [Right 8] [Strength 6] [Stamina 5]

Special stats: [Concentration 3] [Patience 2] [Intellect 2]

Total stats: [84]

New Attribute: New![Master of Magic Tower Lv.10] New![Magic Engineering Lv.10] New![Spell Rod Lv.10] New![Potion Preparation Lv.5]

It is said that when people are too surprised, they cannot speak.

Now I was just like that.

abilities are the same. It certainly doesn't seem to have changed in terms of physical abilities or mana.

However, four of those rare personal traits have been added, and above all, the unique ability has been changed from 'detection' to 'sage's eye'.

It is common knowledge that a unique ability is 'immutable'. There are exceptions, but it's never easy to change.

At least in Korea, I would be the first.

… … this is a dream live

When the situation I had only dreamed of became a reality, I was stunned rather than insanely happy.

I turned my gaze and saw the woman who made me into a mage.

She said, "Are you going to receive this kind of power when you become the original horseman?"

"Yes. And now, lower your words, Top-ju."

"...Ah. That, yes."

She put her hands together and bowed her head politely. It was awkward because she was still new to her.

"Um, you know. I've been through so many ridiculous situations today, but..."

"Tell me, Top Master."

"Isn't this some kind of dream or fantasy?"

She beckoned into the air without a word.

My smartphone, which had fallen on the floor, slipped into my hand.

"If a cheek pinch isn't enough, check your personal information."

“……”

I turned on my smartphone.

Various loan and illegal site advertisements were shown in the game push notification that was installed as a game of boredom.

In particular, aren't the empty messenger windows or the message of insufficient card balance too realistic?

I smiled bitterly and put my phone in my pocket.

"It's true."

"I'm glad you recognized it."

"Can I ask you a few questions?"

"of course."

The tension was released. There were a lot of questions I wanted to ask, but for now, this is the first.

"Who are you?"

"I am a 'homunculus' synchronized with the horse tower. I can manage and activate all the functions of the horse tower."

"Homunculus?"

"An artificial life form created by magic."

The concept of a homunculus was a little strange, but in a nutshell, it seemed that she was the controller of this tower.

"name is?"

"Blank. Not yet."

As I looked into her puzzled eyes, she added her explanation.

"It is customary for the homunculus that synchronizes with the horse tower to be discarded in the year when the horse tower changes, and then a new entity is born to welcome the new ruler. I was born 10 years ago after the horse tower was transferred to this planet. From then until now I've been alone all this time, so I don't have a name."

Right. She looks like a sensual girl, but in reality she is a 10-year-old artificial intelligence... … .

"So, what are your memories before Earth? Do you have any memories from the world this tower came from?"

"I don't have any personal memories, just data."

It's no big deal that it was created after the Overlay incident. I nodded and sat down on a nearby sofa.

Now, don't make it complicated.

I decided to treat it with a heart to enjoy the new benefits I got.

"Then what should I call you now?"

"It was customary for the title of the manager homunculus to be decided by the person with the qualifications of the top owner from generation to generation."

is the name(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

Again, I'm amazingly good at this.

“Then how about a homunculus?”

"Dismissed. No."

A stern refusal came back.

“…No, it’s my right to just give you a name.”

"Topju's poor naming sense is dismissed as it is judged that it cannot be used as a human."

… … It's purely arbitrary artificial intelligence.

I thought again and said.

"Ah! Then how about Bixby because it's artificial intelligence?"

"Please wait a moment."

She closed her eyes for a moment and remained still, then answered firmly.

"Dismissed. No."

"...and why?"

"I can't understand why you're being treated like an AI system made of scrap metal."

It was an AI with even useless pride.

But wait.

"How do you know about the AI ​​software in your smartphone?"

She crossed her arms and answered confidently.

"I googled."

For a moment, I doubted my ears.

"For 10 years, I've succeeded in contacting an information system called the Internet to get information on this planet. It's not a boring place either."

At this point, isn't it just a search fairy, not a homunculus from the tower?

I sighed and contemplated another name.

"Then it's AI, so how about 'EA'?"

“……”

She chewed the word ea slowly and nodded her head.

"Yes. Register 'Ea' as my calling name."

I'm really glad you confirmed it.

No matter how much I thought about it, it felt like I was being allowed to give it a name rather than giving it a name.

"Okay, ah. What should I do from now on?"

"The homunculus has no right to intervene in the future guidance of the Thap Province."

“You became the owner of the maternity house, but you don’t have any responsibilities or duties?

“As I said at the beginning, there is nothing forced on the Master Ma Thap.”

Hey, are you really saying that you can only get power and be free?

Good. Good.

"But, as a piece of advice for deciding future guidelines, I recommend conquering the world first to regain the authority of the Ma Tower."

came out again His world domination.

"Then let me ask you. What is your definition of world domination?"

"It means to subdue all humans in this world and place them at the feet of Thapju."

"Hmm, in your world, it might be world domination, but not here."

"...?"

"Here it is."

I made a coin shape with my fingers.

"The time of subjugating opponents by force is over. Power in the capitalist era is money. Multinational corporations with overwhelming capital, such as Google, are the closest to conquering the world by raising money from around the world."

"I understand. I understand. So, first of all, the first goal of the tower is to make money."

"...well, well. For now, I'll leave it that way. More than that."

From now on, this is the main point I really wanted to ask.

“Can I use the magic you mentioned earlier?”

She nodded her head as if it was natural.

"Yes. There is no one on this planet who can surpass Tapju with magic."
