The Mission Of The Other World (1)
“The other world???”
“What the hell is this all about?”
“God, please save me from the pits of hell . ”
The employees and the part-timers of the restaurant fell into confusion .
Most were so shocked to be able to do anything, but others responded differently . Some prayed, and some looked around .
It was the existence of the fairy that said that this situation cannot be logically explained .
‘There are things that I couldn’t understand, like what this world is or what’s the purpose of bringing us here, but the most incomprehensible thing is the fairy flying right in front of us . ’
The existence of the fairy caused the people to get shocked .
“Listen up, I know the shock’s big, but everyone should calm down . I don’t know what’ll happen if I get unmotivated from this, but anyways, from now on, listen carefully . I don’t like saying things twice . All of you who are gathered here are those who have been chosen by God . Of course, as you can see, there’re a lot of people chosen along with you, but there’re also many others who are not . You, the chosen ones, must complete the mission of this world on the last day of every month from today onward”
“…… . the mission of this world?”
“What is the other world?”
Go Changhyuk couldn’t understand the fairy’s words properly, so he stepped forward to ask a question .
‘First, we should go over what this world is . ’ (Changhyuk)
The word ‘other’ (裏面) in ‘other world’ seems to imply an unusual meaning .
“That’s a good question . The other world is a term that refers to the other side of a world . This world exists at the other side of the 21st century that you live in . The problem is that this world is currently in a period of decline, and that powerful creatures in this world have no intention of dying down with the world . They are hoping for a new world and will soon invade your world . ”
“… . this . . !”
“Gulp!”
Those who listened to the fairy swallowed up their saliva .
Only then did Changhyuk realize that the situation was serious .
“I guess you understand now . The mission of the back world is to give everyone a chance to survive . Since God doesn’t want humans to perish, he has done things for you to at least respond . Keep in mind, God loves humans, but the creatures of the back world are also God’s creations . God just likes you more, but if the invasion still can’t be prevented despite the support, God will turn away from humanity . ”
All those that listened turned silent .
Akan flinched as he looked at the fairy silently observing the people .
“H how will you survive in this world if your wills’re so weak? Anyways, from now on, I’ll have the rules of this world explained to you . You’ll now be able to check your [Status] and store items from this world in [Inventory] just by thinking about it . Now, have the status window open up just as I said . ”
People followed the fairy’s words and checked their own status windows .
Akan, however, couldn’t comply .
No, to be exact, his mind got entangled in a very shocking situation .
People had their statuses confirmed by the back world’s system, but Akan had instinctlively realized that his body has changed .
‘What the hell is going on?’
A cold feeling lingered around his body .

Although forgotten, it’s a very familiar feeling .
The identity of this thing running around his core is undoubtedly…
‘It’s… Mana…’
10 years .
The mana core that had been dry for that amount of time had just regained vitality .
Akan has always been craving for mana .
The end of his life as a wizard is more painful than having all his wealth taken away .
But he had gotten mana again .
That means…
‘I can live again as a wizard…!’
Throb!
His heart reacted .
His violently beating heart welcomed this incredible situation .
However, Akan wasn’t overwhelemed by his emotions .

He had his eyes cold as he also judged the situation as coldly as possible .
‘It’s different from the mana used in the Macedonian continent, and It feels like it was created artifically, not naturally . The amount is also insignificant, I can only use 1st Circle Magic three times, and it’s neutral magic without a specific element . ’
Wizards create cores to store mana in their Dantian .
As an 8th Circle wizard, Akan’s mana core naturally had a huge size and durability .
Compared to his core, all he had now was an embarassingly small amount of mana, but Akan masterfully rotated the mana to find out its tendencies .
‘Does artificial mana react with mana of nature?’
Akan tried to attract mana by spreading the mana of his core around him .
However, the mana didn’t respond at all .
It was as if the two had completely different properties, the artificial mana couldn’t be mixed with mana of nature .
‘It’s half-mana, and since I can’t use the mana of nature, the method of accumulating mana becomes useless . Is this mana disposable?’
The mana of the other world is different from the mana of the world where Akan used to live .
Akan brought the mana that was spinning in his core to his heart .
He then made the first of the eight circles climb to cast one magic .
‘Wind . ’
1st Circle wind magic .

It’s a very basic magic which causes wind .
Wheeeein~
“The magic’s successful . ”
He thought of the possibility of it failing due to him using artificial mana, but fortunately, the magic was cast normally .
‘The mana was rather less repulsive . ’
Akan was able to confirm another fact after using wind magic .
“The mana consumed for the magic is recovering by itself . It’s recovering very slowly, but it definitely is . That confirms that the mana here isn’t disposable . In the Macedonian continent, the mana used was provided by nature, but the mana here is like a living thing . After the mana’s consumed, it goes back to its original size and shape after a certain period of time, and if my assumptions are correct, then the recovery limit would be amount of mana I had before using it . ”
He hypothesized with confirmed facts .
‘It may not be very accurate, but I think it’s roughly correct . ’
If he had a little more time, his information could be clearly organized, but unfortunately, he didn’t .
While Akan checked those things by himself, the fairy’s explanation was already leading to the contents of the status window .
“The Strength, Agility, and Magic displayed in your status windows are the stats that represent your physical abilities in numerical terms . 10 is the average for each of them . You can get stat fragments by performing missions in this world . The use of fragments is simple . For example, you’ll need 10 Strength Fragments to increase the Strength stat by 1 . This change applies permanently, and you’ll have to collect as many fragments as possible to survive in this world . Your [Inventory] might be empty now, but you can store items in it, and you can check them seperately after learning [Skill] .
‘Status Window’
For now, there’s a need to actively utilitize the information that the fairy gives .
Akan called up his status window to check his information .
Strange information then appeared on his retina like a hologram .
