515 The Magician’s Child (5) Even now, and in the future, Hong Seok-young would never admit it. Some might say that the horrific experiences at Mont-Saint-Michel in the past must have left their mark on Noah Michelle. Hong Seok-young did not deny that point. But that alone did not make him understand Michelle. What was pitiable remained pitiable, and what was different, remained different. Perhaps, someday, Hong Seok-young would look back on this day, on what happened in this dungeon, with a…

514 The Magician’s Child (4) The sensation is glass. Very thin glass. Yet the force required to shatter that delicate glass is far from normal. On his third attempt, Hong Seok-young succeeded in breaking Michelle’s magic—not because he lacked strength, but because he wanted to measure and provoke the desired reaction. Michelle’s miniature suns would burst on their own whenever they neared Hong Seok-young. There was a small explosion, but that wasn’t really the main point. Inside the…

513 The Magician’s Child (3) It would be a lie to say he hadn’t expected the word “revenge.” If anything, wasn’t that the most primal motive that could move a person’s heart? It was better than some mad rambling dressed up to sound profound. At the very least, there was room to try to understand this. Empathy was another matter. “Is that so?” Hong Seok-young looked at the broken doll, unmistakably cradling a child. There was no sign of the child itself… Michel…

512 The Magician’s Child (2) Noah Michel was young. Alex had always insisted on describing Noah Michel that way: capricious, prone to tantrums, fond of fairy tales, and so on and so forth. To be honest, most of this information was hardly appropriate for understanding a magician like Noah Michel. Hong Seok-young never told Alex, but he suspected that most of those judgments came from the fact that “Alex Hope’s” view of Noah Michel was colored by seeing himself in her. The Noah Michel that…

511 The Magician’s Child (1) At some point, Hong Seok-young found himself in a position of responsibility. He was good at fighting, but he was no leader. Hong Seok-young disliked taking orders, but he hated giving them even more. Unfortunately, Hong Seok-young was very good at fighting. Not just good—he survived while others died. And when everyone else was dead and he was the only one left standing, he realized that, like it or not, he would be the one who had to explain what had…

510 In a Dream (5) Book. Before I could even process what Hope had said, the dungeon shifted its shape. This time, it was darkness. Pitch-black, not a single star in sight. It reminded me of that time when Park Seohyun briefly lost control of her mana. If it were Park Seohyun or Choi Jinwoo, maybe they would have adapted more easily to this place. Maybe they would have found the way out with less trouble. But what good does it do to think about kids who haven’t even graduated yet? And if I…

509 In a Dream (4) No matter how many flights of stairs we climbed, or how many times we descended twice as many, the same maze appeared before us each time. For a moment, I wondered if Michel had built the maze across multiple levels, but that notion was quickly dismissed. Even if Michel could reshape this dungeon however he wished, it was impossible to replicate an archmage’s unique magic. “It’s my magic,” Kim Chaemin said, his face set and hard, as he looked at the grass underfoot and…

508 In a Dream (3) “Let’s look on the bright side.” We walked along the roses. Aside from his hair being a bit tousled, Kim Chaemin looked perfectly fine as he and Han Taekyung greeted us. Kim Chaemin, still maintaining his magic, looked a little tired, but he grinned confidently, insisting he was fine. He said this was the best way to minimize Michel’s interference. With that kind of conviction, there was no room to argue. I told him to speak up if it got to be too much, and Kim…

507 In a Dream (2) “What did you say?” “Let’s set a fire.” Father offered no further explanation. With those words, he truly began preparing to set the place ablaze. No… Wait, what? I saw Han Taekyung dash beneath the bookshelf at Father’s command, heading toward Kim Chaemin. “……” I followed after Father, sword in hand, with a dumbfounded look on my face. Soon, a signal came from Kim Chaemin through the vines, perhaps after Han Taekyung had spoken to him. Kim…

506 In a Dream (1) Even in the chilling scene of dead fish eyes spinning round and round, there was something good about it. For one, it wasn’t all that disgusting. No, it was creepy, of course. But the eyes, floating and spinning lazily behind Michel’s back, were within the normal range by dungeon standards. I hated bugs more. Those giant centipede-like things. “Keep going!” Father shouted as he moved to avoid the dust. At his command, we scattered. I climbed up onto a bookshelf.…

505 Sun (2) Hope didn’t stop talking for even a moment. “I like dolls too.” The instant Hope said that, Noah Michel—who had been smiling gently, like a doll herself—changed in a flash. “Shut up.” The red dust surged, driven by Michel’s fierce voice. But nothing could intimidate our Alex Hope’s mouth. If anything, he seemed even more determined to provoke her, as if offended. “Why? Didn’t you want a friend? You don’t have any, do you? I told you so many…

504 Sun (1) The structure of Mont-Saint-Michel’s library consists of a single ground floor, called the lobby, and five basement levels. The underground floors may go even deeper. At least, that’s what has been revealed as of twenty years later. Of these, the main reason the dungeon came to be called…

503 Universe (3) ‘Listen carefully, Hijae.’ For the first time in a long while, I found myself recalling an old memory. ‘If you ever find yourself in a situation where nothing works…’ It was one of those nonsensical things my father used to say when we climbed the hill behind our…

502 Universe (2) We tried many things. To be precise, it was Kim Chaemin who tried many things. She sent out vines, layered her unique spells for exploration, and even had me set things on fire. She went so far as to leave the dungeon and come back in. None of these were things one would ever do…

501 Universe (1) The universe. It was the universe. No matter where you looked, stars filled the expanse. All you could see were stars. We were inside the universe. We had no idea what Noah Michel had done in the dungeon. No matter how much we prepared, it would never be enough. But that…

500 Pursuit (4) A will? At that word, a base curiosity welled up inside me before I even realized it. Gamble quickly caught himself, snapping back to his senses. This was all Alex’s fault, that kid who’d watched endless dramas in the lab—those palace romances about the missing king’s will in some imaginary kingdom, tangled with assassination, adultery, and power…. But this was something that had happened in real life. Gamble had no desire to sink that low. Even if it was about the…

499 Pursuit (3) Let’s turn back time a little. This happened when Woo Heejae and Kim Chaemin briefly returned to Korea to check on the runes. To be precise, after confirming the achievements of two apprentice mages and experimenting with the runes. They were supposed to head straight back to America, but it wasn’t as if there was no time at all to stop by home. Who knew how long they’d be in the US this time? Kim Chaemin herself had been living independently for ages, and her other family…

498 Pursuit (2) Sometimes, watching how things spiral into the worst possible outcome, I can’t help but marvel at it. It’s not as if you have to do something wrong—or even do anything at all. Life can unfold with astonishing ease, but on the other hand, it can also become a complete disaster in ways you never imagined. Life is strange. I have no memories of having any fun during my business trip to America. When I first arrived? I barely had time to unpack before I was poring over dungeon…

497 Pursuit (1) Desert. It was the desert. A landscape I had grown sick of seeing during my time in America. “Ah, but at least this desert feels more humane. I like it,” Han Taekyung remarked. It was a peculiar sort of appreciation for the scenery. “Haven’t you seen deserts often yourself, Dr. Han?” Han Taekyung’s main area of activity had been the Middle East. He must have seen enough deserts to last a lifetime. “Of course. The problem is I’ve seen them far too…

496 Moby (2) They were on the verge of extinction. The memories of once having been powerful enough to rule over everything remained only as dreams. It had been a long time since any children were born. Those who still lived were all so old that they could no longer bear offspring. This species would go extinct. Along with the world. There was little desire to run. What was the point of dragging an aged body through hardship? Even if one succeeded in settling in another world, death would…
