I Became a Genius by Running Away From the Academy

57 – Back then at school (2)

Ugh-

The skill [Attribute Amplification] That I acquired while growing my alchemy talent.

A summoning circle made with the highest quality materials using that skill.

It sucked my mana to the fullest and stirred like water in a shaken glass.

‘By the way, what should I use for the summoning phrase?’

In the game, I was troubled because the character said the pre-determined phrase and moved on.

At the beginning of the summoning, the caster put his thoughts into the summoning process by speaking out of his mouth to summon a summoned beast with something he wanted, whether it was appearance or ability.

‘Hmm, I’ve been thinking about that since morning, but I can’t think of anything that should come to mind.’

I never thought that my normally quiet personality would get caught up in this way.

It was an unexpected ambush.

‘Ehh, I don’t know. Let’s just scream.’

I sighed and moved my mouth comfortably with a feeling of liberation.

Actually, there was one sentence floating around in my head from the first time I entered this space.

‘I tried to think about anything else because it felt like plagiarism, but it was too much.’

Still, it’s a little bit like saying the same thing without thinking, so I decided to change it up a bit.

Now.

I’m looking at you right here.

So, you monster who lies in the abyss.

Cheerful-!

You too, open your eyes and see me here.

Zuzuzuzuu–!

As soon as my low whisper ends.

The summon circle, which had been swaying small, vibrated greatly and quickly stretched thick black threads in all directions centered on me, like an octopus escaping from a jar.

Shuaaah-!

“Wow!”

In an instant, a large amount of information swept through my head like a tidal wave through the hand placed on the summoning circle.

My brain and heart jumped as if I was watching a different movie with each compound eye of the insect.

‘I haven’t heard of this happening while summoning a summoned beast. Is it a hidden event that occurred because of the [One who stands at the edge of darkness (9★)]?’

I grumbled, clutching my throbbing head.

At the same time, I closed my eyes and tried to receive the incoming information one by one as naturally as possible.

That’s when I got used to the flood of information to some extent.

Took-

Toduk-

Some of the stretched threads could not overcome the changing flow or the power of the beings who stayed in space and broke off.

However, some have succeeded in entering beyond the various doors that exist in a huge house called the spirit world.

Tooong-

An angler feels the presence of a fish through the movement of the thread.

Just like that, I was able to feel the presence and will of beings in various dimensions, such as the celestial realm, the phantom realm, and the ghost realm, through the thread.

-Hmm, it’s been a while since I’ve seen an interesting case.

-Kyakyakya! What is this! You’re a cheeky child!

-Hmm? What is this? Is this your first time seeing it?

They felt me just as I felt them and spoke to me using thread as a medium.

But I ignored it.

No, to be precise, I had no choice but to ignore it.

Because now this has just reached the shallowest point.

I haven’t had time to answer these guys yet.

Shuaaah-!

I withdrew my consciousness from the threads that had stopped advancing and focused my consciousness on the threads that stretched deeper.

‘Crazy.’

Then, a hollow laugh came out of my mouth.

A space that felt as comfortable as a gas or liquid when you first entered.

It felt like a slimy, sticky swamp now.

I can feel this feeling as I can feel the extreme freedom in this space with only the talents of the dark attribute without any other interfering talents.

‘Then how does this space feel to other people?’

It was impossible to even imagine.

‘Anyway, what about now?’

I paused to run a thread with that thought.

Then a question naturally popped into my head.

‘Is there any reason to go deeper than this?’

To be honest, I have already achieved my goal.

As far as I’m concerned, some of the beings that are connected to me now go beyond ‘history’ and step into ‘legend’.

The only thing left for me now is to choose someone who can help me and proceed with the contract.

Even though I know that, there is one reason why I am worried like this.

The blackest thread among the black threads stretching out into countless spaces.

Surreuk-

Because I was shaking my head, saying that if it was that space filled with the same color as mine, I could go much deeper.

‘It’s not the end yet.’

That fact stopped me from thinking rationally.

‘Are you satisfied and stop here, or are you going to continue moving towards the unknown space…… ‘

If it were me, I would have chosen the one that satisfies me without hesitation.

Because I was the type of person who chose complacency instead of adventure.

By the way.

Ssiik-

It is said that people sometimes have moments when their heads turn round and the gears in their heads go crazy, but I guess that was today for me.

‘Ah, I can’t stand it.’

It is not a desire for power.

After your favorite game, what lies beyond the veil no one has seen?

That pure curiosity, and the impatience that if not now, that curiosity will never be resolved.

Peeing-!

Those two things moved my heart, ignoring reason.

Peeing-! Piing-! Piing-!

Having made up my mind, I cut off all but one thread.

This was no different from approaching from this side first and then unilaterally withdrawing.

So, even if the next opportunity to sign a contract comes, they will show their displeasure to me and refuse to sign a contract.

Pu-wook-

But now I ignored all of that and bought a magic potion from the store and injected it into my arm.

And I focused all my mind on the last remaining thread.

Shuaak-

Then, the pitch-black thread became a solid spear and went deeper.

Remove unnecessary information and focus all consciousness on a single thread.

Is that why?

‘It’s amazing.’

It felt as if I was diving into the sea myself, relying on a single string.

I could feel it clearly thanks to that.

Doo woo woo—

The signs of beings so gigantic that their size is unfathomable, leisurely swimming in a place like the deep sea.

Not all legends are the same.

No, it’s rather a legend, so the gap between them is larger and more detailed than all the realms below.

And now, those in this space were all living, breathing beings in a huge legend.

I was fascinated by each one of them for a while, then came back to my senses and went deeper.

How long has it been?

All of the senses in my body disappeared before I knew it, and I couldn’t tell where I was heading.

Still, I somehow managed to move forward by using the feeling of resistance pressing my whole body as a milestone, but soon even that sensation disappeared.

As if I had dug into the steel, I was suffocating.

‘What are you doing here?’

Then, such a skeptical thought popped into my head.

To risk one’s life like this to do something one wouldn’t normally do, it must have been a mess in the moment.

‘But now I can’t take my job anymore…… ‘

Fishik-

‘Sometimes, let’s become a proper madman.’

Like a child so immersed in the game that he couldn’t see reality, I continued to move forward, with no sense of direction and relying only on my instincts.

I couldn’t tell whether it was moving or stopped, and how much time had passed since I came here.

The sense of time, along with the sense of space, disappeared a long time ago.

Thanks to this, the light thoughts that usually floated around in my head were scattered, leaving only the thoughts soaked in desires underneath.

I have to make a contract with the existence beyond here.

Because that’s the only way to get out of this space.

Don’t give up.

I had to survive somehow.

-Thank God…… Are you all right with no injuries?

My life is mine, but not mine.

So I had to protect this life more than anything else.

I had to live as happily as possible.

The absolute values that have been crouching in the deepest part of my heart ever since I first fell into this world.

That abnormal stubbornness now became tenacity and moved Doujin’s body.

A will that can only be described as madness.

Toouk-

However, no matter how grandiose it was, it was only the will of one human being.

From the perspective of the world, Do Yoo-jin’s intense tenacity was no more than a tiny speck of dust.

It’s nothing.

Tooong-

But that was enough.

Just as a single drop of water creates ripples in a mirror-like lake.

Because this space is infinitely quiet, even a willpower the size of a speck of dust could create a ripple through the space.

Sug-

And just like that, the infinite existence filling the abyss from end to end secretly opened its eyes.

Unknown unknown.

The abyss within the abyss.

Jet-black eyes that can only be expressed in words stared at Doujin.

Knock-?

The gigantic being that had just woken up looked at the stranger it saw for the first time in this space and was puzzled.

That moment.

Took-

A small thread that was about to be torn apart by the rough winds touched the body of the being.

A stimulus too weak to be called a shock.

However, from the beginning of the world until now, to a being who has been alone here, such a small shock felt extremely strange and interesting.

After savoring the sensation for a while, the existence quietly gazed at Yoo-jin Do and observed it.

Then, as if looking at the palm of his hand, he could easily understand why Yoojin Do had come all the way here.

Because I want a contract.

The being that had figured out that far looked at Yoo-jin Do once again.

In those eyes that were so gigantic that they could barely compare to the sun, they overflowed with interest and curiosity like the sea.

He knew that there was a contract, and that the things above him were binding him.

But he didn’t know there was a guy who came all the way here and asked him for a contract.

It was the first time I had ever seen a guy like this.

What is it?

Existence pondered for a while.

Since he didn’t have anything to do, he could do anything he wanted, including accepting the contract.

But there was one problem, and that was that the human in front of me was too weak.

The summoning contract was made immediately after mutual consent, but it was possible only when the level was right.

However, the gap that existed between the two far exceeded the gap that a contract could bridge.

In this case, even if the contract was forced, the contract would not be properly fulfilled, or the human would not be able to accept his power, and the contract would almost certainly be shattered immediately.

After thinking about it for a while, the being came up with an answer.

He becomes himself and is not himself.

He just needs to create a little himself.

I thought it would be enough to create an existence that was mere dust like a human in front of me rather than a huge self and twist the contract a little in addition.

It was originally unimaginable to twist the law of the beginning, the contract that belongs to the lower level, at will.

But beings did it as simply as breathing.

Took-

Then he took a very small dust from his source and blew it to the human, Yujin Do.

The moment the two collided like that.

Challenge–!!!

The center of the two was connected by chains and a contract was signed.

A contract is only possible with mutual consent.

However, Doujin unconsciously continued to release the will to want a contract, so the contract was easily established like this.

Like that, Dou-jin slept her coolly, not knowing that the red ink had been smeared on her new finger, which she did not know.

At that time, new message windows continuously appeared in front of Yujin Do.

Dundungsil-

Do Yoo-jin’s body slowly floated toward the shallows.

A small black light shimmered in Doujin’s heart.
