A genius wizard who escaped from prison

001 episode. Admission (1)

“──────!”

“───?”

I hear voices around me.

As consciousness returns, the sensations in the body become clearer.

tilted world.

Concrete floor to cheek.

Thick raindrops hitting the body.

puck!

“Uh-huh!”

Before I could even grasp the situation, a kick flew in the side of the boat. I curled up like a slug.

Puck puck!

back, thighs and shoulders.

Kicks fell all over the body.

How many people are around?

3 people? 4 people?

“When are we going to kick a Blue Serpent cadre like this at a time like this or when?”

“The charge is murder. It also killed the same gang member. It’s a miracle that a traitor has been dragged into prison with his life.”

“Look at me. ‘Cause I’ve been hurt by this guy outside.”

group. Cadre. betrayal. Murder. prison.

I tried to understand the situation as much as possible through conversation.

Then I felt a strong sense of discomfort.

They didn’t speak Korean.

A language you’ve never heard before.

Still, I was able to understand the conversation without any problem.

He grinned at it and looked around.

Four guys are lynching me.

Different hair colors and Western looks.

Green clothes and pants. Number tag sewn to the chest.

‘I must have fallen off a cliff.’

The place where I fell

It looked like the back of a building.

‘Yeah, with that guy Baek Jin-woo, that shit… … .’

ding.

Anger began to rise.

At the same time, a hologram appeared in front of my eyes.

[Synchronization with ‘Cain River’ is in progress.]

[Current synchronization rate – 65.0%]

[Task and attribute skills are activated.]

A small flame burned and made a square spear.

In an instant, the excitement subsided.

My head calmed down quickly.

A stone touched the tip of his finger.

After secretly holding it in his hand, he got up in an instant and slammed one of the guys in the foot.

“Ahhh!”

The number of kicks decreased, but the intensity increased.

Far away from the shaky sight, a man in a guard’s uniform was watching over here.

Lynch stopped after a few more minutes.

“That would be enough!”

“Anyway, there must be a lot of other guys out there besides us.”

The men approached the guard and handed him something.

It’s not exact, but it looked like a bill.

“I do the cleaning up. Even if the admission process is delayed, it doesn’t matter much.”

Watching the guards approaching this way, I lost consciousness once again.

* * *

When I opened my eyes again, I was on the bed.

He smelled of ointment all over his body and had bandages wrapped around him. I wrinkled my forehead involuntarily at the throbbing pain that came up.

“… … .”

I looked around.

A bed with curtains.

Medicine box on the tabletop. Other first aid kits.

From the scenery, it looked like an infirmary somewhere.

The place was quiet as if there was no one but me.

“dream?”

He immediately shook his head.

The feeling was too vivid for that.

I picked up the mirror on the table and checked my face.

Black hair and blue eyes.

Blue snake tattoo on the nape of the neck.

A young man with an unfamiliar appearance was looking at me.

group. Cadre. betrayal. Murder. prison.

Blue Serpent. Cain River.

A puzzle in my head was completed in an instant.

And the moment I saw the calendar on the wall, the puzzle became a complete picture.

Imperial Year 1072. April 13th.

The date of episode 1 when the main character’s story begins.

This is not Korea.

I entered the novel I wrote.

Not just the main character, but a supporting role that I had set up that I would use it someday.

“under.”

I laughed out loud, but I wasn’t embarrassed.

I didn’t even know it was because of the “coolness” characteristic.

I looked out the window.

Above the barbed wire-enclosed prison walls, a thin line could be seen rising toward the sky.

The distance is so far away that it looks like a line, but that’s a wall. The wall surrounding the capital of the empire, the main setting of the novel.

Its height is high enough to reach the sky, and you can see the ‘wall’ from anywhere on the continent.

‘Outside the wall is a completely lawless area. It must have been set that way.’

The modern age, where magic and science are intertwined.

The inside is rich, but the outside is not.

Barren land and scarce resources.

Businesses busy with profit-taking and criminal gangs all over the place.

One of the three largest organizations was the Blue Serpent, with Cain River as an executive.

‘I said it was a task.’

A hologram appeared in response to my thoughts.

“Big, big… … .”

The situation was ironic.

It is known that Cain betrayed the organization, but in reality, the opposite is true.

Cain was betrayed.

To colleagues who were the same executives and trusted.

“You are in the same situation as me.”

He stared into space for a moment.

Although he had only written about 100 pages yet, the plot of the novel had already been conceived until the end.

The plot was simple.

The main character possesses a game character and grows up as a wizard in the capital city.

Follow the task to break down the ‘wall’, drive out poverty on the continent, and eventually return to the real world.

return to reality. The reward for the task given to me was the same as that of the protagonist.

If this place is really in my novel, it’s right to follow the task. At least for now, when information is scarce.

And back to reality.

“… … Baek Jin-woo.”

far away

“Even if you cut off the limbs and throw it as wild dog rice, it won’t be cool.”

At Cain’s tone that flowed out naturally for a moment, I was startled and stiffened for a moment.

[Synchronization with ‘Cain River’ is in progress.]

[Current synchronization rate – 65.5%]

percentage went up.

At the same time, Cain’s memories flooded his mind.

The very detailed memories that could be called Cain’s life itself.

My head was pounding at the amount of information that was too much to accept for a moment.

‘Are the empty settings made by yourself?’

I made the setting of the novel in too much detail.

To the extent that I heard that I was too obsessed with settings when receiving feedback.

However, no matter how detailed the settings are, there will always be voids.

But now, the void was gradually being filled.

‘… As time goes by, the memories of the original characters come to mind and assimilate into their personalities. This is also the setting I made.’

Cain rose from the bottom of the organization to an executive with pure ability.

Among countless competitors, he maintained a daunting and sharp attitude in order not to be underestimated, and that became his character.

I continued to think about the current situation.

‘For now, I’ll have to get out of this prison first.’

If the settings I made were applied to this world as it is, it means that there are a lot of elements that can be used.

Even though he may not be as omnipotent as a god, he has an advantage in every situation.

It reminded me of the setting of ‘Cain River’.

The content I had crafted a long time ago felt as vivid as if I had seen it yesterday.

I opened the properties window and scrolled to the top.

[memory]

Category: Unique – Passive

Effect: Don’t forget what you see once.

[understanding]

Category: Unique – Passive

Effect: Understand phenomena and objects.

The “memory” property seemed to apply to real-world memory as well.

I was planning to introduce Cain as a companion to the main character later.

As in the ‘strategist’ position as in the organization.

So, I drove a few unique traits throughout the novel.

quiver-

As I was figuring out a person named ‘Cain River’, the door opened and a man entered.

“Are you awake?”

blonde in a white robe.

Tobacco in your mouth.

He looks the same age as me.

Again and again-

She came over to the chair next to the bed and sat down.

My gaze turned to her nameplate.

─ Medical officer in charge of Kentrock Prison.

— Estelle Elluid.

… … It’s a name I know.

A nun sent from the church.

A supporting role that was scheduled to appear at the end of the novel.

“Is your body okay? I was beaten up a lot.”

She reached out to me.

His hands were relentless, taking his pulse and examining the wounds.

I frowned as I frowned at the cigarette smoke.

“Sorry. If I don’t smoke this, I get anxiety. Well, it’s fine.”

“… … .”

It was a shy but charming smile.

“You said he was pretty famous outside of you?”

“… … .”

“The prisoners were noisy for a while. I don’t know where I heard it, but the rumors spread that the Imperial Police had captured a Blue Serpent executive.”

she stared at me

When I got no response, I continued my work.

A white glow rose from her hand.

As a halo of light enveloped my body, I felt a sense of energization. Soon the light disappeared.

divine magic.

I looked at the octagonal star pattern on the back of her hand. It was a sign of power that the denomination gave to priests and nuns.

“Anyway, there are a lot of people inside who have a grudge against you. Prisoners or prison guards alike.”

“… … .”

“Are you dumb? I don’t think my mouth was hurt.”

“… … I was thinking a little bit.”

“Wow, your voice is so husky. nice to hear It doesn’t suit a pretty face, though.”

“… … .”

Back in reality, it seemed like she had to tweak her settings a bit. A silent character who can’t speak.

“Would you like to stretch out your arm? With your palms facing up.”

I followed the instructions.

She looked around and placed a thick book on the palm of my hand. His arm could not bear the weight and was shriveled.

“When I first started treatment, I thought about it, but the tendon in my right wrist was cut. Both ankles will.”

I wasn’t surprised because I knew it.

The traitors are all executives.

In order to eliminate a competitor for the position of the boss, the trap was framed for murder by Park Cain.

There he cut off all the tendons in Cain’s wrists and ankles.

However, it was a hasty action at the scene, and the guys ran away from the police who arrived on time. Thanks to that, the left wrist was unharmed.

“I can’t cure this on my own. It would be easier to attach bones or something like that. At least—.”

“If you don’t receive a blessing from the denomination headquarters or remodel your body, you won’t be able to recover.”

“—I know well. It seems like it happened outside, and I think I will see your face more often in the infirmary in the future.”

That’s right.

At least it will be for the time being.

An executive of the three major organizations.

Since they can’t use their limbs properly, they probably won’t have an attractive prey.

Moreover, I am labeled as a ‘traitor’.

The crime of killing a member of the same organization is an unforgivable sin, regardless of the organization.

“Soon the guards will come and go through the admission process. I’m taking a break.”

again and again. shudder-

She left the infirmary.

“I said Kentrock Prison.”

A prison facility for violent criminals in the remote part of the continent, with one side facing the sea.

It was obviously set up that way.

The inner prison facility is divided into several sections according to the type of prisoner.

Because monsters such as sub-races and mana users cannot be locked up with ordinary prisoners.

I opened the properties window and scrolled down.

[Elemental Affinity]

Category: Unique – Passive

Effect: The magic attribute limit that can be learned is removed.

[Mana Response]

Category: Unique – Passive

Effect: Significantly increases your ability to feel and manipulate mana.

As I closed my eyes and focused my mind, I felt the mana flowing around me. Somehow, it feels like being submerged in warm water.

‘If it’s the original way, it takes a few years of training with the help of a superior to be able to feel mana, but the situation now is absurd.’

But the body is empty.

There was no mana circuit built for the use of magic or the expression of ‘ki’.

‘Across the continent, how many people have rotted their talents properly.’

It wasn’t that Cain was unaware of his talent.

He simply refused to become a mana user due to past trauma.

‘It is certain that it will be classified as the first building where ordinary prisoners are accommodated. First of all, I need the strength to protect my body.’

I clenched and opened my palms, reconfirming that the tendons in my wrists were broken.

Cain learned martial arts instead of building a mana circuit. Since the level was considerable, it would not have been so difficult to establish a position in Building 1 if the body was intact.

‘Cain. I must go against your will. Instead, revenge will be perfect.’

I picked my breath and drew the mana in the air into my body.

First of all, in order to escape, it must be classified as one.

Since the majority of prison personnel are deployed in Buildings 2 and 3, monitoring in Building 1 is bound to be relatively loose.

One more reason for loose monitoring.

“Neither can I.”

This is because the mana and blood will harden after the adult passes and it will not be possible to build a circuit.

A normal prisoner builds a mana circuit inside himself and escapes? That’s absurd.

No matter how they break through the guards armed with protective suits and guns, a mana-resisting alloy outer wall awaits them.

Escape from Kentrock Prison is impossible.

quiver-

The door opened and the guard entered.

“Branch.”

Unless you are aware of the hidden settings the author has crafted.
