Chapter Index

    Glance-

    ‘I was a little worried, but it’s more comfortable and pleasant than I thought.’

    Do Yu-jin smiled broadly and gradually went down, feeling a pleasant haze and comfort as if she had been soaking in warm water after drinking a glass of alcohol.

    Then at one moment.

    Towering-

    The flow that had been gently guiding Do Yu-jin slightly pushed his entire body away.

    At the same time, the flow conveyed a gentle and detailed warning, like a parent warning a child playing in the yard.

    He said that we shouldn’t go any lower than this, because if we go any lower we won’t be able to maintain our shape.

    Hmm-

    ‘I appreciate your concern, but I can’t do that.’

    At this depth, it was still within the range of Ellis’ magic.

    Woohoo-

    Even though Do Yu-jin had conveyed her intentions, the formless flow that filled the space did not retreat.

    No, on the contrary, he grabbed Do Yu-jin’s body and started blocking her from going down.

    Gestures filled with worry and anxiety.

    Ps …

    Do Yu-jin smiled lightly and concentrated.

    To show that even though you are immature, you are not a child who needs to be taken care of.

    ‘The reason these guys are stopping me is because I can’t overcome the flow below.’

    If so, the answer is simple.

    All you have to do is change your body so that it can accept the flow below.

    Woohoo-

    As Do Yu-jin generated magical power, the characteristic began to rotate violently and her entire body began to turn transparent again.

    The flow around Do Yu-jin reacted violently as they saw the components that made up her body gradually losing their color.

    ‘Is that natural?’

    Now this is like putting alcohol directly into the bloodstream of someone who is worried about getting drunk.

    If things continued like this, Do Yu-jin would certainly melt into the darkness of this space and disperse without even crossing the line and going down.

    Still, there was no problem.

    Because this is just basic work.

    Shuuu-

    A black color rose inside the body, which had become transparent, leaving only the shape behind.

    It was not the darkness that existed in this space.

    Your own shadow that has always been by your side since you were born.

    Do Yu-jin was now using him to reconstruct her own transparent body.

    The reason the flow blocks Do Yu-jin is because Do Yu-jin’s imperfect body cannot overcome the rough flow below.

    ‘Then, in this way, by using transparency, accepting the flow without going against it, and filling the body with shadows, I can configure my existence to fit this world… … ‘

    If you erase your original self and draw a self that fits into the black world… …

    Took-

    In this way, it was quite possible to ignore the resistance of the flow and go over the thin line and down below it.

    Suddenly, laughter broke out.

    ‘It’s just one step.’

    It was a rather shabby result, considering that it was made by combining half of a legendary trait and two of a historical trait.

    ‘Well, I guess it might not seem that way to other people.’

    What Do Yu-jin crossed was a thin, thin line.

    However, since Do Yu-jin is able to break down the barrier between herself and darkness through [The One Standing at the Edge of Darkness (9★)], I only perceived it as a thin line.

    If the person standing here now was someone without Do Yu-jin’s talent, what he would have seen was not a small, thin line, but a thick, huge cliff whose end was impossible to see.

    Do Yu-jin imagined that for a moment, then calmed down the flow that was moving around her, making a fuss as if asking if she was okay, by caressing it with her hand.

    Do Yu-jin, who was taking care of the guys like that, glanced up.

    Shaaaa-

    When I looked up, I saw a small puddle, a sun or moon, or perhaps a light shining brightly in a dark room.

    And a little later.

    Hwaaah–!!!

    From it, numerous hands made of light were seen extending out like tentacles.

    ‘I already knew about it, but it’s still surprising. It’s a level of magic that can explore other connected spaces as well.’

    Even if someone had used teleportation to escape, she would have detected the flow of space and chased after them.

    ‘As expected, he’s a S-class superhuman.’

    Do Yu-jin burst into laughter, thinking that the only word that came out was monster.

    Swish-

    At that moment, whether by coincidence or because he sensed something, among the many hands, a hand that was emitting a particularly beautiful light moved in the direction of Do Yu-jin.

    A hand that gives the viewer the creeps because it strongly holds the owner’s obsession.

    However, the face of Do Yu-jin, who was actually the target of that hand, was as calm as usual.

    That would be the case.

    ‘Because that hand can’t go beyond this line anyway.’

    It is often said that when light comes, darkness retreats.

    People get drunk on that saying and say that darkness cannot overcome light, but if you turn that saying around, you can interpret it this way.

    Light cannot conquer darkness.

    Even if the light increases its size, in the end it only deepens the place where the shadow hides.

    ‘And that’s enough for me.’

    How much time has passed like that?

    Swish-

    The colorful, glowing hands gradually began to lose their shape and break apart.

    The hand that was reaching out to Do Yu-jin was the same; it too eventually collapsed beautifully like an aurora without being able to cross the final line.

    “Sigh, I’m dying. Seriously… … I feel like I’ve suffered everything I could have suffered all day.”

    Do Yu-jin, who confirmed that all hands had disappeared, returned to the thin line and let out a sigh of relief.

    “Now, let’s just keep quiet for a while.”

    Although I only took the classes to gain traits, the circle classes were surprisingly quite interesting.

    So, Do Yu-jin thought about pretending to be a good student for a while.

    ‘Still… …I managed to solve it somehow.’

    The corners of Do Yu-jin’s mouth slightly went up as she muttered softly.

    It was natural.

    I finished everything I had planned and at the very end, I managed to keep my peace.

    I couldn’t help but smile as I achieved the results I couldn’t have hoped for more.

    “Okay, what do you think? This annoying world.”

    I won the first game of hide and seek.

    ◎ ◎ ◎

    “What the heck is that… … ”

    Han Si-yeon stared blankly at the scene unfolding before her with her mouth open.

    The magic circle that fills the sky is connected like a constellation and emits light like an incandescent light.

    The sight of night being driven away and day being brought in by force.

    I was left dumbfounded by the overwhelming sight that I had never even imagined.

    What is even more surprising is that even these phenomena are merely byproducts of the intermediate process.

    Dooow-!

    Finally, the magic is complete and pillars of light appear across the sky, accompanied by a sound like a judge bringing down his gavel.

    The pillar of light that appeared stretched out in a noisy direction like the light of a searchlight, capturing and imprisoning the villains and half-demons who were causing a ruckus.

    “What, what is this! Could this be a trap… … ”

    “What guy dares to… … !”

    The intruders were momentarily taken aback by the sudden situation.

    Pubububuk-!

    Before they could fully grasp the situation, a sword of light falling like rain pierced their entire bodies.

    A series of processes of color and restraint occurred simultaneously throughout the circle, in one breath.

    “Is it over…?”

    Is it because the scale of what happened is so enormous?

    My head is a little dizzy because I haven’t been able to process all the information.

    Before going up to the rooftop, Han Si-yeon had been running around the circle hunting for half-demons, so she had a rough idea of their skills.

    ‘If we fought without knowing the information about the ghost guy… … I hate to admit it, but there’s a high chance that I’ll lose.’

    Banma was so strong that even the proud Han Si-yeon thought that way.

    “Kkaaa… … ”

    “I hate it… … It hurts… … ”

    But now, those guys were squirming on the floor, impaled by swords and unable to put up any resistance.

    “Really… … There are so many strong people in the world… … ”

    It was just a little while ago that I realized my own shortcomings after my defeat against the ghost.

    However, when faced with this shock right away, Han Si-yeon unconsciously clenched her fists.

    At the same time, I sincerely hoped for it.

    He said that someday he too would like to stand in a place like that, in the world of the strong.

    As she looked up at the brightly shining sky and made her resolution.

    Wiggle-

    The protagonist’s exclusive trait, [The Seed of All Creations (1★)], felt the flame blooming in Han Si-yeon’s heart and shivered slightly.

    At that moment.

    Took-

    “Is this it?”

    A woman came down to the rooftop where Han Si-yeon was, muttering in a voice filled with doubt.

    “… … !”

    Clank-

    Han Si-yeon, who was so deep in her own mind, belatedly raised her hand over the sword and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

    “Hmm, that seems right.”

    There was a woman there.

    A beautiful woman with long white hair that resembles snow and purple eyes that hold a mysterious light within them.

    Han Si-yeon looked at her, tense, and took a stance ready to swing her sword at any time.

    However, the woman simply rolled her eyes left and right and looked around the rooftop as if she had not noticed her presence.

    An oversized white knit and pale vanilla-colored trousers.

    Although she looked a little disheveled, as if she was choosing items at a convenience store, Han Si-yeon did not let her guard down.

    ‘It seemed like it was flying through the air, but I didn’t even notice it was coming until I said the words.’

    That was because even though Han Si-yeon clearly saw her coming down from the air to the rooftop, she felt like she was seeing an ordinary person on the street.

    And what this meant was simple.

    Gulp-

    It means that the woman in front of you right now is a strong person who is on a level that cannot be properly felt with her skills.

    While this brief but not-so-brief standoff was taking place.

    Wheeze-

    The woman’s purple eyes finally turned towards Han Si-yeon.

    “You seem to be a student of the circle, right?”

    “… … Yes, I am a student of the circle.”

    Han Si-yeon answered carefully.

    Whether they were enemies or not, it didn’t seem like there was any benefit to provoking them in this situation.

    “You asked the question first, so I’ll ask you one too… …Who are you?”

    “Huh? Oh, come to think of it, you don’t know me? ”

    The woman let out a small sigh as if she had realized something and shrugged her shoulders slightly.

    “I am Ellis.”

    And then he spoke in a flat tone, as if it was nothing.

    “I am the principal of the school you go to.”
