chapter 24
I have MP points. This is probably mana points. That’s what you usually see in games. With this, I can fire a powerful arrow, and when crafting, I can use mana to create a better craft.
In other words, I’m already using mana. The problem is that I myself don’t know how to use it. I consciously think about how much mana I should use while acting, but it’s hard to do when asked to explain how mana actually works.
It’s like when someone says ‘walk forward’, it’s hard to explain what muscles and bones I move, how I shift my center of gravity, and walk forward.

Just walk I honestly can’t remember when I took my first steps. A person who can remember it can be said to have a really good memory.
let’s ask someone Do you remember the first time you walked? Probably 99% of people don’t remember. It’s just that I was already walking when I started to do what I called recognition, and to remember.
Don’t think that by saying this, you’re ignoring someone who’s unwell. I was just thinking about it based on my case.
“Yes, I am already using mana. But that’s not magic.”
The point is this. Walking can be done by anyone who is not physically handicapped. So what about running? Maybe you can do that too if you don’t feel uncomfortable. But what about sprinting?
Surprisingly, it is not common for people to know and train in detail about how to sprint. How many times in your life do you think a person will sprint? When doing the gym? That would just mean running as hard as you could, not sprinting in the true sense.
Depending on your height, how long you should take your stride, how you should do it when starting out, and how you should breathe while running. Those things can only be done by trained people.
If using mana is walking, I thought magic was like sprinting.
“The problem is that you don’t know how.”
Fortunately, Siyeon learned how to control water with her skill and was able to control the water right away. It was because it was imprinted on Siyeon through the form of skill.
“Let’s do it.”
I just decided to learn magic with the feeling of heading on the ground. Anyway, my actions within this gate are rewarded. So why not try something like this?
“Magic is also fire.”
I lit a bonfire, and touched the fire with my hands, holding a grand ambition to learn magic with the fire.
puck!
No, I was trying to touch it. But my attempt ended in misfire. It’s because Hoya threw a cat punch at me. Hoya looks at me like a madman. Well, from Hoya’s point of view, it would be crazy. In fact, it is crazy to anyone who is sober to see it. Trying to touch the fire with bare hands. I must have gone crazy for a moment at the thought of learning magic.
“Yeah, I think fire is kind of dangerous. Let’s go to the water.”
Turned around. Destructive power is fire, but isn’t water also a genre of magic that often appears in novels? In particular, I saw the demonstration of manipulating water. It seems that water is easier than fire. Then what should I do?
“Fortunately, this is an island. So there are so many seas.”
I ran straight to the sea and jumped into the water.
haha!
And Hoya comes flying. Does our hoya fly? How is that… uh? passes me by And in the place where I passed by.
Bubbubuck! Bubbubuck!
There was a sea monster that I had never seen while fishing. A guy in the shape of a giant crab. Don’t mistake it for being cute just because it’s called a crab. Imagine that a king crab is about 2 meters tall. So what will happen? It means that if you get caught by those claws, your life is over.
Hoya catches such a guy well. And the midnight sun brought me a bow. He wants to help Hoya. because he is his king So I concentrated my mana and pulled the string, then shot an arrow straight into the guy’s eyeball.
bang!
I think my arrow went through his eye and hit his brain. The guy who was fighting Hoya lost his life just like that. Hoya approaches me with a fierce look. I’m Hoya’s companion! I’ve never been afraid of something like this.
“sorry.”
Nyan Nyang! Nyan Nyang Nyang! Nyangnyangnyang!
The nagging is long. But you have to manage your facial expression. Hoya changed his job to a violent cat, so I can hit him too. Didn’t he get hit once before?
It’s because my stamina is up, but it really hurts. There were no aftereffects after being hit, but it hurt. Pain is the point. After that, Hoya’s nagging continued for almost 10 minutes. Looking at this, it seems that I am not raising him, but he is raising me. I’m just offering delicious feed and salty snacks in return for my care.
‘Ah, is this why they call it a tribute?’
Usually, the person who keeps the cat is called the butler, and it is said that giving treats to Koyai is tribute. Wouldn’t the tribute to the unknown be given in the sense of ‘Please take good care of me and take good care of me’?
“But, hey.”
Nyan?
“Will that taste good?”
While being scolded by Hoya, I looked at the crab monster. Then a notification popped up.
-You used the Observation skill.
Name: Island Giant Crab (Level 31, Death)
It is a giant crab that lives on the outskirts of the island. The flesh is tender and very tasty. If you take it in your intestines, you can taste heaven. When consumed for the first time, intelligence and sanity increase by 5. If you continue to consume it after that, your intelligence will increase by 1 each time you eat a certain amount.
Churrup.
I was already drooling at the very delicious part.
Nyaung.
Hoya sighs. Something like my mother. As a lead male.
“okay. I won’t do that in the future.”
Nyan!
“Oh, I was wrong.”
Only then does Hoya go back to the hammock and settle down. While watching Hoya’s eyes, he approached the corpse of the island’s giant crab. Behind me, Kkamangi follows Hoya while watching.
When the owner notices, he seems to notice too. Baekya is fawning next to Hoya. He sticks out his head-sized tongue and grooms Hoya diligently.
“Kkamang-ah, it wasn’t because my brother lost to Hoya. It’s because Hoya is my brother’s pet.”
Puhin!
“uh? I thought you just laughed at me?”
Hey hey.
“No? You don’t think it’s not?”
At my words, Kkamangi rubs his head against me. Strangely, it rubs well so as not to be stabbed by the horns. This is where animals show friendliness, and their own hormones, it’s easy to think of it, and it’s an act of burying the smell. So that’s a sign that you’re on the same side as you?
It’s the same thing when a cat approaches you when you go outside and rubs its head against your leg. I heard a veterinarian on Youtube say that ‘I’ve come from somewhere with a strange smell, so I’ll erase it with my own scent!’
So, I wonder if this behavior of Kkamangi is like that.
“But do you eat meat too?”
Horses are herbivores. They usually eat grass. Of course, horses have a taste, so I won’t eat all the grass. However, it is true that Kkamangi is just a horse, but seeing that he likes carrots, I wonder if he is also a herbivore.
Heying.
The crow showed behavior. Satisfy your appetite. That means I want to eat a hundred percent.
“Yes, let’s eat until our stomachs explode!”
I don’t know when I’ll catch it again, but let’s do it.
I saw a giant snow crab and thought about how to catch and eat it. Once boiled, it is eliminated. There must be a bowl to put him in. Then eat circuit? Anyway, that’s kind of it. In the end, only one thing remains.
“Let’s bake.”
Anything cooked is delicious. Isn’t that what you’re talking about frying? not. It is just as delicious to eat baked.
“Heh, it’s my turn to show you the essence of woodcraft I’ve learned so far.”
Should I call the giant dog a tiger, no, a magician? I connected it to a plow attached to Kkamangi and moved it to the base camp. And with woodwork, I carefully made a support to put this guy on. After erecting a pillar on each side of the leg, put the guy on it. And make a hot fire from below. Then the inside must be cooked.
After that, cook the legs separately. Just looking at it, he seems to have lost his chest. The intestines will be there too. After preparing and lighting the fire, the children come huddled next to me. Hoya sits on my lap, and Baekya leans her head against me. The black-eyed hoya might be afraid of it, but it is leisurely killing my crops from a little distance away.
“uh? Those are things that increase your abilities. I picked and pulled out only those things.”
he’s an amazing guy But I didn’t bother to blame it. I don’t know if he knows how much, but he didn’t pull out all of them, he only pulled out enough to eat. And the current black mang ability seems to be able to go up a little more. Just seeing that he was kicked out of the woods, he needs to be stronger.
So I left it to eat and looked at the fire. Then Hoya’s eyes changed.
“Don’t put your hand up. Am I stupid?”
It seems like a bit of an idiot, though. I really have no intention of getting my hands on it. Just watching the firewood burn is mindless. That’s what’s called a ‘bulmeong’.
The smell of the island’s giant crabs being cooked is also very fragrant. no it’s gracious My mouth is already salivating. But not yet. It will be delicious to cook for a long time over a gentle fire. I’m going to eat the guy who tried to eat me. Of course, Hoya’s help was great in the process. It is important that I hit the last hit. Thanks to that, the level went up by one. Just in case, this time I was blind to intelligence.
Currently, my intelligence is 28. It is almost three times that of the average person. Wouldn’t this make you a bit smarter? With that kind of expectation, I fire again.
It’s when you’ve been blazing for so long. The fire moves. Isn’t fire supposed to move? That’s true, but that’s not what I’m talking about. The fire really moves. Something moves with a purpose.
“The question is, what is that? Thinking of something like a novel, it should be called a fire spirit, but emotionally, I think it’s not…”
It could be a fire spirit. But my gut tells me it’s not like that. The reason is simple. Because the fire is moving towards my eyes.
I feel like I will regret it very much if I miss this moment. I started moving mana slowly. As if synchronizing the movements of fire and mana.
And when I had a snowball fight with fire for about 10 minutes, the alarm went off.
