2000 Years of Magic History in My Head

Klissman’s Diary (1)

The first sight Min-hyuk saw was a very shabby interior.

A single bed and a desk small enough for only one person to lie down. He raised his body in bed and looked around in a clean and bare space,

‘Where am I?’

It was strange.

It was the same as the first time, but Min-hyuk’s head did not explain the current situation like a white blank.

‘Obviously, I fell down during class.’

He remembered clearly.

After being dragged by Professor Albert, and after a mess, he lost consciousness while checking elementary textbooks. And now, he is supposed to be in an inn. This was possibly where a man named Klissman lived.

Was it a temporary ephemeral?

With the mystery not being solved, Min-hyuk got up from his seat and glorified every corner of the room.

‘Is that a diary?’

On the desk, there was a lump of notes like a diary.

There was nothing else.

Min-hyuk had to check the diary to get information, so he sat at his desk and opened the journal.

Sarak.

[December 25, 2030, a mysterious phenomenon occurred in Gorlitzer, where I lived. Monsters that inhabited Monster Land appeared through a space called ‘Gate.’ We were not prepared for the catastrophe. It took away everything. My family. My father tried to protect me, and he was shredded into the monster’s sharp claws, and my mother burst like a peach that had ripened in the monster’s huge feet, as with my brother. I cannot forget that moment. While people shared joy at the Christmas festival, my life was destroyed on the 25th. So I kept a diary. To remember the memories and the pains of those days.]

“… … This world is the same.”

Catastrophe.

Min-hyuk also suffered.

With the fact that Klinsmann had gone through the same thing, he turned to the next page, suppressing my ill-fated feelings.

[On August 2, 2031, after a disaster, I was completely abolished. There was no reason to live. Then I suddenly thought like this. The monsters that did this to me are still alive, is it right for me to die alone? If life is going to fall into this hell, wouldn’t it be right to kill even just one monster and die for my family’s revenge?]

Min-hyuk was used to it.

There are many people like Klinsmann in the world where I live.

Those who lost their families to the monsters wanted revenge.

[December 25, 2031. Precisely one year since then. But I did nothing. My head perfectly understands magic, but my cursed body has no power to embody it. How can I avenge my family? I need a way… A way.]

He turned to the next page.

He was stuck for a moment after reading his diary.

[March 10, 2033, I offer to you, who’s reading my diary right now, a very special deal for my body.]

‘… … ?!’

Min-hyuk’s heart slumped down.

Klinsmann’s Diary.

It was Klissman’s message to him, as well as to record his own actions.

His heart was beating so fast.

His head turned tight.

Binyu (憑 依) is a strange phenomenon that cannot be explained theoretically. Still, Min-hyuk never thought that the other person would communicate like that to him.

‘Isn’t this a coincidence?’

Into the parallel world.

He never thought this would happen to me.

Klissman proposed a deal.

First, to resolve my question, Min-hyuk needs to confirm his proposal.

[You who have taken over my body must be the most optimized person for the conditions I desire. Otherwise, the link that secured my life would not have been connected. As you know, this is a parallel world of the world you live in. The starting point of the world being created was the same. Still, civilization must have been formed in a completely different way. Both worlds were peaceful. Until the catastrophe of dimensional cracking hits.]

The monsters appeared.

It was a disaster.

Without any sign, they suddenly broke the common sense of the world and changed all systems.

Ganghwa civilization was thus formed.

To survive the monster’s threat, the earth’s civilization somehow needed the power to fight the monster.

But they did not know why the monster appeared.

And the reason was included in Klinsmann’s explanation.

[Dimensional cracks began in my world. And the monsters that inhabit this world are moving over to your dimension, causing the confusion we experienced. Even now, the disaster is inflating. At this point, humanity will be completely wiped out by monsters. So I need your strength. To completely destroy the monsters from the world, both sides must collapse simultaneously.]

Min-hyuk didn’t understand.

He agreed to deal with him, but Klinsmann and I are not really suited to the cause.

He don’t know what kind of life Klissman has lived in, but he is a person who is treated like a loser in Suhomun. He doesn’t have the power to help him. Was Klinsmann expecting this question?

[I need you.]

He appointed Min-hyuk clearly.

And he said,

[What you want is to annihilate the monsters in your world. And just once, you need your strength to entrench the disaster. This is a parallel world but at the same time. I know how to summon you to this world.]

Min-hyuk’s hands were shaking.

In an unexpected development, Kang Min-hyuk turned the last page.

[Perhaps you will think that you do not meet the qualifications. But since you have already experienced the knowledge of this world, you know how powerful it is. Once a month, I will pass on your soul to my body and transfer new knowledge step by step. That’s the price of the deal I offer you. If you’re willing, open the drawer on your desk.]

“… … .”

Min-hyuk couldn’t say anything.

In a situation like having a conversation with Klinsmann, he quietly looked down at the diary for a while.

There were many questions.

‘ Why me?’

‘ In a myriad of Archmages, what does it mean to pass on their knowledge to me?’

‘ And what is Klinsmann’s identity?’

But after a long agony, he eventually made a choice that I might have decided already from the beginning.

Min-hyuk Opened the drawer.

There was only one book in the sturdy space like the room where he was.

The cover says,

[108 kinds of 1st circle magic]

This was the next part of the elementary textbook that he couldn’t confirm last time.

* * *

Min-hyuk opened my eyes.

‘Was that real?’

Sunshine poured out from the window.

He was holding the textbook for 1st circle magic all night. He fell asleep again in the other world when the sun rose.

Knowledge was perfectly mastered.

Some of his ideas were good, but the textbooks included kind comments.

‘Klissman is a genius. It wasn’t a lie to fully understand magic. ‘

108 kinds of magic.

Klissman explained in detail the principles of the magic.

You may think it’s only 1st circle magic, but the magic has changed through Klissman’s explanation.

‘ Is this the magic I knew?’

1st Circle Magic was remembered as very basic and almost useless magic. Still, it was possible to use it in a different way in Klinsmann’s world, where magical civilization developed. As the world of Kang Min-hyuk embedded in Ganghwa civilization, they learned how to defeat monsters with magic.

“Hoo.”

Min-hyuk exhaled out loud.

The deal with Klissman.

It happened so suddenly, but he did not feel any regret.

‘If I could erase the monsters from this world, I can do anything.’

This world has a lot of stories.

Thousands of people are dying, like Klissman; each has his own pain.

So Min-hyuk agreed.

Klissman’s pain led to his heart.

The problem is…

‘I started magic at a very late age. Even though the other world will help me, it needs a foundation in this world to grow rapidly. ‘

Min-hyuk cannot get help from his family.

There is no way the sword fighters can help Min-hyuk, and they think that magic is weak.

But for him, magic is the same as the sword.

He concluded that for a new life, he would need an assistant to help my magic progress in this world.

‘I need to take advantage of what I have.’

Double casting and 1st circle magic.

In reality, it may seem like great knowledge, but it’s really nothing compared to the knowledge he could get.

He was convinced that he will continue to receive knowledge.

If so, now is the time to take advantage of the value of my knowledge.

The next day.

Min-hyuk went to Professor Lee Hak-beom and said directly.

“I want to participate in double casting research.”

Hakbeom Lee.

He is called the human sleeping pill and is not popular with students, but he has a huge authority in the magic world.

His relationship with him was a starting point for Kang Min-hyuk, who will later be called the ‘Magical God.’
