In this life, of course…

The existence of a lover whom I had never once thought about during my 25 years of life.

Faced with a reality that doesn’t seem real, I think back to the passionate kiss I had with Sein a little while ago.

The hot breath could be felt more clearly between the small cherry-like lips.

Her sticky saliva that was gently flowing through it… was very similar to a desire that was so sweet yet difficult to resist.

When I look into her golden eyes that seem to embrace everything about me…

This crazy heart cannot calm down.

Even as the late night passes by… I can’t sleep and think of every moment I spent with her.

Shake it up!!

I pull the blanket up to my head, cover myself, and kick the blanket away without mercy.

Still, my heart cannot calm down.

Excited.. Excited..

Maybe… I had clearer memories of my past life than my current life.

I was also aware that I was not used to being in an active relationship with such a beautiful woman like Sein.

Nevertheless, I never disliked this situation, so I just accepted the relationship with her as a lover positively.

But… still, this anxiety that settles in a corner of my heart.

＇We’re both still young. Is it okay to do this?

＇In this world… it seems like marriage is something you only have to do after the age of 15.’

Am I thinking too deeply?

I was able to achieve all kinds of thoughts just by kissing, but Sein’s lewd gaze came to mind again… It wasn’t a situation where I could fall asleep easily.

Jump up!!

“I can’t sleep like this..”

Trying to suppress my crazy pounding heart, I lift my left hand and look at my ring finger.

＇I even received such a big gift…＇

As I was looking at the [subspace ring] that Sein personally put on me, a happy smile suddenly spread across my face. So much so that I don’t even realize it myself.

As I was looking at the [Subspace Ring], which gave off a deep blue color… I couldn’t fall asleep like this and I thought I wanted to give Sein something nice as a gift.

‘Let’s make it right away when it comes to mind.’

Ssss..

I raise my body from hiding under the warm blanket and turn on the [magic light] to make it warmer.

Sweet!!

Then, he sat down at the desk right next to the window and took out the “fire” attribute magic stone of [Flame Lizard] and the “freezing” attribute magic stone of [Ice Earth] that were available at the {Disposable Magic Tools} store.

Rattling..

The large bag of magic stones piled up seemed quite heavy.

Nevertheless, I put them all out on the desk.

The [Flame Lizard] magic stone, which boasts a deep orange color, and the [Ice Earth] magic stone, which is light blue, are opaque, but they give off a brilliant appearance in comparison to each other’s properties.

＇The feeling of rawness is still strong..＇

As it is a magic stone that has not been processed or has exhausted its usefulness, foreign substances mixed with magic power, as well as an irregular flow of magic power, were being released.

＇Sein-nim says he is strong against the cold, but…＇

＇It’s not that I can’t feel it at all.＇

Recalling the magical power of Sein’s “Freeze” attribute, I picked up the orange magic stone of [Flame Lizard] and immediately started working.

Of course, there was a way to give Sein a better gift with the money from selling the magic stone, but I put a lot of effort into it because I wanted to give her something special and the only one in the world.

‘I have all the supplies, so I hope it comes out as planned.’

As I was about to start, I was annoyed by the magic stones scattered on the desk, so I decided to use the [Subspace Ring] to check its performance.

‘Shall we check the [Subspace Ring] first?’

[Subspace Ring]

It is a ring made from the scales of the legendary space transfer monster [Ancient Dragon Mument], and is a work made by the dwarf race long ago for fun.

It is made quite elaborately compared to {Jujak} and can be stored according to the weight of the object or food without worrying about its size.

User’s signature required – (unregistered)

Storage capacity – 20kg

＇It’s an engraving… I guess all I have to do is let the magic flow into the ring, right?

There was no need to hesitate, so I let the “nothingness” attribute magic in my body flow into the [Subspace Ring].

The “nothingness” attribute magic that shimmered more clearly passed through the magic stone at the heart to the left arm.

And then… I was suddenly sucked into the magic stone of the [Subspace Ring] worn on the ring finger of my left hand, and soon the magic power in my body was drained out at such a speed that I couldn’t control it.

＇Even the magic power from the [Slime] magic stone implanted in my left hand was immediately drained..’

‘That’s incredible speed..’

I feel that all the magic power of the [Slime] magic stones stored in my hands and arms has been drained.

＇If I do this wrong… a normal person would die from {magic depletion} while using it?’

At that moment… I remembered the precautions the owner of the {Disposable Magic Tools} store had given, and I was able to understand why she thought this was a nuisance.

The [Subspace Ring], which began to respond little by little to such a vast amount of magical energy, gave off a dimmer yet bluish light, and then flashed for an instant, filling the room.

‘finished..’

The [Subspace Ring], which was emitting a brilliant blue light, did not absorb any more magical energy.

Although I felt dizzy for a moment, I soon came to my senses and quickly turned my head to both sides to focus again.

Rattling..

Grab the bag of magic stones lying on the desk! Pick it up.

‘Is this how you do it?’

I definitely hadn’t heard how to use the [Subspace Ring].

I think I was able to instinctively recognize the feeling of using the [Subspace Ring] only when the engraving was completed.

I picked up the magic stone and held it over the [subspace ring] on my left ring finger.

Moment..

It’s like cutting space with a blade.

A strange phenomenon that I had never seen before occurred, creating a scratch in the atmosphere, and a dark sub-space was immediately created.

It’s like looking into the abyss.

The sub-space, which was showing the appearance of a world of “nothingness” that could never be fathomed, became deeper and more empty.

＇This… is safe, right?＇

I thought I was lost in thought for a moment as I looked at the sub-space that was more eerie than I thought, but I came to my senses again and gently put the bag containing the magic stone in it.

My right hand starts with a piece of cloth in my pocket and slowly goes in.

Sneaking, creeping…

No temperature was felt inside the subspace.

The strange feeling of even losing my sense of touch made me feel awkward.

If I keep my hand there for a long time… I’m afraid that my existence itself will disappear, so I quickly throw the bag of magic stones and quickly pull my hand out of subspace.

＇Still.. it doesn’t take any magic power to put it in.’

Fortunately, it seemed that magic power was only drained when the [Subspace Ring] was engraved, so magic power was not used to insert or remove objects.

‘For sure. You said it was made from the scales of [Ancient Dragon Mument], right?’

Maybe I was aware of it too.

Even if it is not a magic stone, there exists a medium infused with vast amounts of magical energy.

In fact, I was able to guess this fact a long time ago when I was in {Diriol Forest} and eating a fish called [Mun Tuna].

＇Even though it appeared before my eyes… I can’t believe it easily.’

To be honest, based on my common sense, this magic stone was almost a miracle.

Creating the space itself? Creating? Such a magic stone was something that had not even been seen in the [Book of Monsters].

Memories of my past life came back to me and I felt one of the few parts that I didn’t understand. I put the unpleasant feeling behind me and decided to make a ring to give as a gift to Seinnim.

Rattling..

Picking up the [Flame Lizard]’s magic stone again, he tried to use the {Magic Iron} to craft it into the same shape as this magic stone embedded in the {Subspace Ring].

＇I want to make it as similar to this [Subspace Ring] as possible..’

As I observed the [Subspace Ring] for a while, my concentration began to increase.

As I am now accustomed to, my hand movements freely handling the {magic iron} were quite precise and delicate.

When the magic stone of [Flame Lizard], which boasted an opaque orange color, went through the {Magic Iron}, it began to form a magic stone boasting clearer transparency and color than before.

‘It’s still in a semi-liquid state.’

＇You have to mold it quickly while injecting magical power to prevent it from hardening..’

I carefully picked up the semi-liquid magic stone, which showed considerable viscosity, and kept the magic between my fingers so as not to break, but without going too far. After many trials and errors, I was able to produce a bead-shaped magic stone boasting a certain size.

＇This is not it. There is foreign matter inside.＇

＇Let’s cut out a portion so it isn’t too big..＇

I was able to see the result only after putting in more time and effort than I expected. I wipe a ray of sweat from between my cheeks and look at the result I created.

A perfectly circular orange magic stone that shows off its brilliance in the palm of your hand while also boasting its own presence.

The perfectly processed magic stone of the [Flame Lizard] is so pure in its magic power…

It was showing a level of perfection that no one could help but admire.

It was so beautiful that I couldn’t dare criticize it.

＇I must have been too focused.. I feel like my eyes are falling out.＇
