When he arrived at the place marked on the map, a man in a military uniform was standing there.
‘A German soldier?’
Judging by the red armband on his arm, it was certain.
It was the uniform worn by the German Nazi soldiers during World War II.
The man who had spotted Minhyuk pulled out a pistol.
However, Minhyuk was faster.
Clatter-
The Gatling gun opened fire.
The man collapsed, riddled with bullets.
Swish-
He too turned into dust and scattered.
And in the place where he had disappeared, a Nose was left behind.
Minhyuk picked up the Nose.
<Absorption Nosco discovered.>
<Open the Nosco to learn a magic that can absorb magical power.>
Absorption Nosco,
I was able to learn magic that would absorb the magical power around me and accumulate it in my body.
Minhyuk first put the Nosco in the refrigerator to check what it would transform into.
The Absorption Nosco was a household vacuum sealer.
After carefully checking the vacuum sealer’s manufacturer and model number and recording it, he returned to the magic tower.
Zzzzip-
He opened the Nosco.
A golden scroll transformed into particles of light and enveloped Minhyuk’s body.
<Learned the magic of magical power absorption.>
In an instant, he understood the principle of magical power absorption.
He developed magical sensitivity, allowing him to sense the magical power around him, and he could now absorb that magical power into his body.
He could absorb the tiny magical power contained in the atmosphere through deep breathing, and he could also absorb concentrated magical power by holding a magic bead in his hand.
Minhyuk took a deep breath and tried to absorb the magical power in the surrounding atmosphere.
He took deep breaths for over 30 minutes, but he couldn’t even fill a sesame seed-sized mana compartment.
‘It’ll take forever to fill it up this way.’
Minhyuk took a magic bead out of the refrigerator.
Then, he absorbed the magical power from the bead he was holding in his hand.
Swish-
The bead’s concentrated magical power moved into Minhyuk’s body.
His mana compartment was quickly filled.
After using cold magic, he had felt constantly weak and uncomfortable because his magical power had been depleted, but those symptoms disappeared as if they had been washed away.
‘Alright.’
Minhyuk could use the refrigerator to infinitely supply magic beads.
So, from now on, filling his mana compartment wouldn’t even be a chore.
However, there was a problem.
Just because he could absorb magical power didn’t mean his mana compartment itself had gotten any bigger.
It seemed as though he could fill Minhyuk’s mana compartment over 100 times with a single small, low-grade magic bead.
That was how small Minhyuk’s mana compartment was.
Currently, the size of Minhyuk’s mana compartment was no different from that of ordinary people.
Even those who knew nothing about magic had mana compartments.
They served the purpose of storing the minimum amount of magical power needed to sustain life.
However, it was impossible to cast magic with such a small mana compartment.
‘I won’t be able to use it even if I learn magic.’
<You can increase the amount of magical power you can store in your body through meditation and breathing.>
Thanks to the Nosco, Minhyuk already knew how to increase the capacity of his mana compartment.
However, it took a very long time to increase it the orthodox way.
And it was much more advantageous to start training at a young age.
‘It’s too late for me to grow it the orthodox way.’
The Noskos that enlarged the Mana Pool became increasingly urgent.
By the way,
It had been too strange since earlier.
Samurai, topknots, Nazi uniforms.
They were all included in Earth’s history.
Who the heck were they?
Were they really from Earth?
But they had another thing in common.
None of them bled when shot.
And when they fell, they scattered into dust.
‘Let’s ask the guide.’
When I get to the safe zone, I’ll call the guide of the Magic Tower and ask what their identities are.
I don’t know if he’ll answer, though.
Minhyuk headed to the next place.
.
.
.
A medieval knight in plate armor,
A Viking wearing a horned helmet,
A savage warrior with a tattooed face,
Minhyuk knocked them all down and collected Noskos.
Among them was a Nosko containing flying magic.
The direct reason I became interested in the Magic Tower was because of flying magic,
I achieved my intended purpose.
‘Great!’
Minhyuk headed to the next place.
Now there was only one golden dot left on the map.
But midway on the path from my current location to that place, there was a point where I could go up to the 2nd floor.
I was quite curious.
The ceiling on the 1st floor was this high, so how the heck could I go up to the 2nd floor?
Was there a staircase or an elevator installed?
But when I got there, it was neither.
‘I have to fly up.’
There was a huge hole in the sky, hundreds of meters above.
To get to the 2nd floor, I had to fly up and go through that hole.
Minhyuk tried using flying magic.
As the tip of his foot lifted about 1㎜ off the ground,
BAM-
His magic power was depleted, and he felt dizzy.
Minhyuk held the magic bead in his hand.
Absorbing the bead’s magic, I tried to cast a flying spell.
Stagger-
As my magic depleted further, I became even more dizzy.
‘This won’t do.’
The rate at which I was consuming magic was faster than the rate at which I was absorbing it.
I couldn’t use it like a cell phone, which I could charge while using.
There was no other way than this.
I had to increase the mana capacity and fill it with magic, then fly.
‘I’ll think about this problem later.’
Min-hyuk headed to where the last Nosco was.
.
.
.
When he arrived at his destination, a man was standing there.
He saw Min-hyuk, drew his sword, and ran towards him.
Min-hyuk aimed his machine gun at him.
However, he hesitated and didn’t shoot.
It was because of his attire.
‘That’s···.’
It was the clothing of the Joseon Dynasty.
He was dressed in the uniform of a magistrate that was often seen in historical dramas.
Min-hyuk lowered his muzzle and asked the man running towards him in a loud voice.
“Who are you?”
However, he did not respond.
‘Should I just shoot him?’
Min-hyuk, who was contemplating, put down his machine gun and picked up his greatsword.
The man who had come close to him swung his sword at Min-hyuk.
The trajectory of the blade was clearly visible in Min-hyuk’s eyes.
He dodged the opponent’s attack and asked again.
“Who are you?”
The man did not respond and continued to swing his sword.
Clang-
He cut the man’s sword with his greatsword made of dragon bone.
Then, the man pulled out the dagger he was carrying at his waist.
Min-hyuk punched the man who was persistently attacking him.
Thud-
The man who was hit once collapsed.
Min-hyuk asked him again.
“I’ll ask you one more time. Who are you?”
“Just kill me!”
Finally, the man responded.
He understood the gist of the question.
“You’re from Joseon? You’re a Joseon person?”
Minhyuk’s question made the man’s eyes widen.
“How do you know about Joseon?”
“Well, I…”
I was going to say that I’m also a person of the Korean race.
But Minhyuk’s appearance in this world was far from Korean.
Minhyuk changed the subject.
“I’ve been to Joseon.”
The man asked with eyes full of doubt.
“Where in Joseon?”
“Hanyang, Pyongyang, Gaeseong. I’ve been to them all.”
“Oh, really? Is there a way to go to Joseon from this land?”
The man’s expression was filled with anticipation.
Then his face darkened again.
“What am I even hoping for… I’m already dead.”
“Who exactly are you, and why are you here?”
“I’m Kim Chungsik, a former county magistrate from Hwanggan in Chungcheong-do.”
He really was a Joseon person.
And a magistrate from a local district.
“What business do you have here if you’re from Chungcheong-do?”
“I’m being punished here.”
“What crime did you commit? And who is punishing you?”
“I can’t tell you the details. It’s taboo. It’s impossible for me, who is confined to the pagoda, to break a taboo.”
Hm-
As Minhyuk was lost in thought, he continued speaking.
“Hurry up and cut my neck and take the scroll.”
He knew that he would leave behind a Nosco when he disappeared.
There was no other way.
Minhyuk raised his sword.
And said to the man,
“Any last words?”
“No need to make a big deal out of it. I’m already dead.”
The man loosened his hardened expression and asked Minhyuk.
“Then let me ask you one thing. When did you go to Joseon?”
“I went recently.”
“It feels like hundreds of years have passed since I left that place, but how is Joseon these days? Is it livable?”
“Most people are living without being able to die.”
“It’s the same as when I was there.”
Swish-
Minhyuk slit the man’s throat.
Swish-
The man turned into dust and scattered.
From Noble mtl dot com
And in his place, a Nosco remained.
<Accumulated Nosco discovered.>
<You can unfold the Nosco to increase the amount of magic power that can be accumulated in your body.>
A Nosco that would increase Minhyuk’s mana pool, which he had been longing for, had appeared.
‘I knew it!’
Minhyuk put the Nosco in the refrigerator.
“Return.”
Poof-
With a flash of light, Minhyuk moved to the underground parking lot.
‘Please let it have turned into something easy to obtain!’
Thud-
He opened the refrigerator door.
Aha!
It was filled with Minhyuk’s favorite.
Hot bar.
Skewered fish cakes, to be exact.
The kind sold at convenience stores.
‘Nice!’
There was absolutely no problem with procuring it in large quantities.
If only the Nosco could be used multiple times, he could buy Hot bars in bulk and increase his mana pool to be larger than a dragon’s.
Poof-
Minhyuk returned to the first floor of the Magic Tower.
Whoosh-
He unfolded the Nosco.
<The amount of magic power that can be accumulated in your body has increased.>
Even without the message, he could feel it right away with his magic sensitivity.
The capacity of his mana pool had increased.
Minhyuk held a magic bead in his hand and absorbed its magic power.
His mana pool was filled after absorbing one-tenth of the small, low-grade magic bead.
‘Let’s give it a shot.’
Minhyuk cast the flying spell.
Thump-
His body floated up into the air by more than 5 meters.
He had succeeded in true levitation.
However, his internal magic power was soon depleted.
His mana pool’s capacity was still far from enough to properly use the flying spell.
“Return.”
BAM-
Accompanied by a flash of light, he was transported to an underground parking lot.
Minhyuk exited the building and headed towards the nearest convenience store.
Luckily, there were identical hotbars on the shelves.
However, the quantity was limited.
He quickly filled his basket with all the hotbars on display and asked the cashier,
“Do you have any more shrimp-flavored hotbars?”
“We have some in the storage. How many would you like?”
“Give me all you have.”
Minhyuk purchased all 45 hotbars in the store and returned home.
“Return.”
BAM-
With a flash of light, he was back on the first floor of the rooftop.
He checked the refrigerator, and all the hotbars had transformed into Nostros.
Rip-
Minhyuk unfurled a Nostro.
A golden scroll turned into light and enveloped Minhyuk’s body.
<The amount of magic power that can be stored in the body has increased.>
Rip-
He unfurled another Nostro.
<The amount of magic power that can be stored in the body has increased.>
Rip-
Rip-
<The amount of magic power that can be stored in the body has increased.>
<The amount of magic power that can be stored in the body has increased.>
.
.
.
Every time he unfurled a Nostro, his mana pool continued to grow.
Minhyuk felt an overwhelming sense of exhilaration.
Others had to train for decades to achieve what he could now easily obtain with hotbars!
Finally, he had unfurled all 45 Nostros.
Minhyuk tried absorbing magic orbs.
He could now absorb over four small lower-grade magic orbs.
SWOOSH-
He cast a flight spell and soared into the sky.
He could now fly for a considerably longer duration.
This was enough to reach the second floor.
However,
“Still not enough!”
Minhyuk’s desire to grow his mana pool was far from being satisfied.
“Return.”
Pow-
Minhyuk returned to the underground parking lot.
Then, he searched the internet for the location of the Hotbar factory.
