Newbie Life of a Former Ranker

The walls are too thick to be blown up or simply fired and melted with the high heat.

So, Dojin decided to use 「Resolution」, which is specialized in melting rocks.

The problem is that “melting” is a 5-star magic.

The learning conditions become more difficult starting from 5-star magic. It is not a problem for Do-jin, who has the fraudulent class and skill 「Book of Truth」, but the absolutely insufficient level is a different problem.

The minimum condition to learn 5-star magic is level 100 or higher.

To Dojin, who is currently only level 43, it was magic at a far-off level.

But Do-jin had a way.

‘I wouldn’t have been able to do it without money, but I can do it with this much money.’

Do-jin disposed of everything that could be sold, including the curse of Yeonhwa skill book, which had risen sharply in price, and the materials and equipment items accumulated so far.

The total amount of money raised was 17,800 gold.

Even when converted into cash, it was an amount of over 17 million won.

For a while, Do-jin looked at the number stamped on the inventory with the eyes of an office worker checking the bank account balance on payday.

His eyes are sore… I knew that soon this money would evaporate beautifully.

It is like the salary of all the common people who stay in the account for a very short time and then disappear.

‘This is all an investment for a quick level up.’

If you want to earn money, you can earn it as much as you want later.

In this life, there was no hesitation as long as I had made up my mind to stand tall.

“Hello for a minute… It’s not that I can’t see you anymore.”

On this day, after 5 hours, the remaining balance in Dojin’s inventory reached 1,200 gold.

* * *

A magic workshop borrowed by paying money to the adventurer’s guild branch.

Expensive material items are neatly placed on the table.

The skin and blood of a deformed shawl lizard.

Pure gold magically liquefied.

Similarly liquefied sterling silver.

Charcoal for wizards.

and magic stone.

Each one had a fairly large amount of expensive items, not just a small amount.

There is one reason why Do-jin bought them with all the money he had.

It was to create a magic scroll containing [melting].

‘When a 3-star wizard challenges the creation of a 5-star magic scroll, the probability of success is around 1%… Still, if I try close to 150 times, one will succeed.’

The probability that it will be 1% if you set it high.

Even if it succeeds in making it through a low probability, the result is different from real 5-star magic in terms of power and effect.

So, it was treated as a crap act that no user would do, just a waste of money, but it was a gamble worth challenging for Do-jin.

What we need now is a means to melt the wall, not real 5-star magic.

“shall we start.”

As always, your heart races when you try to gamble with odds.

An excitement mixed with anxiety and anticipation wrapped around Dojin’s body.

However, it was difficult for her to move her head as her heart was beating wildly.

This is because in order to increase the probability of successful production, as a wizard, you have to do your best.

To that end, Do-jin recalled in his head each production process that was almost embodied by melting into his body.

Then I activated Book of Truth.

There is no guarantee that the production probability will increase by opening the Book of Truth.

But Do-jin had faith.

The belief that if it was a magical supercomputer hidden in the deepest part of El Tomagia’s Great Library, it would be useful in everything related to magic.

Her golden-colored hands raised the skin of a monster that was about the cousin of a dragon relative, which would become the main body of the scroll, onto the crafting table.

‘Next is charcoal for wizards… … .’

It’s time to draw the outline of the magic circle.

It is a job where not a single mistake is tolerated.

There was no need to remove the charcoal until the sketch was completed.

Do-jin drew a draft of the magic circle at once with great concentration.

Then the hand moves quickly to the next task.

The magic stone is ground into powder, and the magically processed liquid pure gold and silver are mixed before the powdered magic stone is denatured.

It was stirred at an appropriate speed to create magical pigments.

Dojin drew a real magic circle on top of a sketch drawn with charcoal using the pigments he made.

“Whoa… … .”

Now this is the final task.

The most important and most likely to fail operation, injecting mana to activate the scroll.

Dojin placed magic stones of different sizes on the scale.

It is a scale that measures mana, not weight.

I matched the amount of mana by adding and subtracting large and small things until I found the most appropriate capacity.

After that, he placed the magic stone in the center of the magic circle, and the real production began.

Everything I’ve done so far is just an act to increase the chance of success at this moment.

After taking a deep breath, Dojin recalled the magic code of “fusion” that he remembered and opened the circuit.

Because it is a magic that is not entered into the circuit, it is a difficult task that must be completed purely with the caster’s memory.

Magic stone reacts.

The green magic circle also reacted, and the gold and silver contained in the pigment splashed out.

be careful, be careful again. Mana must be guided very delicately.

But.

paper weave.

Contrary to Dojin’s mind, the controlled mana momentarily wriggled as if angry.

It was an instant, but it was enough resistance to create a crack in the veins where mana flowed.

“Keugh!”

Feeling that, Do-jin immediately closed the circuit and withdrew.

At that moment, the safety devices installed in the workshop were activated.

Forcibly dissipates the mana generated by the burning of unstable mana.

However, due to the clumsily activated magic, the ingredients had already turned into burnt tar.

“sh*t… … .”

In his head, Dojin also knew.

That there is no way that the 1% chance will succeed at once.

However, expectation is the realm of emotion rather than reason.

I felt sick to my stomach seeing the sight of over 100,000 won in cash turning into something blackened in an instant.

[The producer’s competence is noticeably lacking!]

[Inevitable and natural failure!]

[Don’t be overconfident in your abilities!]

[Failed to make the scroll, so all materials are lost!]

Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm

Make fun of people

I felt sick to my stomach watching about 100,000 won (what it was), which looked like melted tar with both eyes.

Do-jin, who nervously cleared the system message, took a breath again and started working on a new production.

‘If my mentality is shaken, I’m the only one who loses. You have to be calm to increase your chances of success as much as possible.’

Time, money, stamina, spirit… The gamble of pouring everything we had continued.

The amount of damage due to overlapping failures began to grow exponentially.

* * *

[The result of reckless use!]

Quaang!

Before the message even appeared, Dojin hit the table.

“That makes no sense! If you do 130 1% each, don’t you have to float once?”

Everything runs independently.

Since it is not addition, there is a possibility that every attempt will fail whether it is done 100 times or 1,000 times.

However, such a principled story could not be heard by a person who had burned over 10 million won right away and became a piece of gum.

Even this gamble was not such an easy gamble that the result would appear at the touch of a button.

Exhibiting a high level of concentration, drawing, engraving, and mixing… It is a gamble to challenge after all kinds of heavy labor.

“Are there only about 20 left… … .”

When there are 150 chances, I thought I would succeed once in 150.

But now there are only 20 chances left.

Anxiety creeps in.

Do-jin looked at the light golden haze that bloomed due to the love of truth with mixed eyes.

Is this of no use either?

Was it just a waste of mana potions he drank to replenish his mana consumption?

Everything was viewed negatively.

But it was too late to come back now.

Yes, rather empty your mind and challenge yourself.

“It’s not like this has happened once or twice. If you blow it all up, you can earn even harder.”

Even as he said that, Do-jin gritted his teeth.

back into the manufacturing process.

More earnestly than ever, more focused.

1st, 2nd, 3rd… and 6 times.

More failures piled up.

didn’t say anything

just painted broke it mixed and painted again

Thus, once again, all the work that had to be done by Dojin’s hands was completed.

When the concentration that had been pushed to the limit was released, a slight dizziness occurred.

And at that moment, a different reaction occurred.

[Continued to challenge magic in an area that is difficult to understand.]

[Wizards find their way through recklessness.]

[High concentration and frightening obsession!]

[Your understanding of ‘magic’ will deepen just a little bit!]

[The interpretation of the recorded magic becomes very little easier.]

Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm

Mana, which had been floating and causing diffuse reflection, shone a little brighter and created the words of the Book of Truth.

It was a message that the understanding of ‘magic’ increased and a bonus was added to the overall magic interpretation.

The moment he saw it, Dojin instinctively felt it.

A thrill runs down your spine.

[Unbelievable success!]

[With endless obsession, I succeeded in capturing undeserved magic on the scroll!]

[Intelligence increases by 3.]

[Stamina increases by 1.]

As expected, a production success message was output.

“aa!”

Dojin screamed.

Rather than joy, it was a scream that came from relief that the materials, money, and effort that had been thrown so far were not in vain.

150 servings of prepared ingredients.

147 attempts.

With only 3 servings of ingredients left, Do-jin’s hand held a magic scroll containing “melting”.

“It was also slightly damaged.”

As the creator did not have the ability to perfectly control the spell, there were quite a few damaged corners in the drawn magic circle.

About half of the injected mana was also lost.

But what about then? I wish I could be successful It’s enough to melt down the damn wall.

And there is also ancillary income.

In the name of a broader understanding of magic, a bonus was added to interpretation, so it was possible to more effectively collect all recorded magic proficiency.

Do-jin, who got what he wanted to get and even what he didn’t expect, checked the time.

It was only about 7 hours left until the appointment time.

It took less than a day to prepare the materials, so it was said that it had been more than 30 hours since I had been immersed in the production of this workshop.

“If I go outside, I won’t be able to rest for five hours. I’d rather sleep over here in sleep mode.”

It was a waste, but I couldn’t help it.

If you melt the wall and enter the depths of the dungeon, it will be a tough battle.

You should rest when you can.

Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm

Maybe it was because I was too focused, but as soon as I made up my mind to take a break, I was drowsy.

The systemic drowsiness pouring down on the in-game avatar and the drowsiness felt by the player, Do-jin, were added, and an irresistible force attacked.

‘The studio rental fee will be higher, but… I can’t move.’

Seruk. Do-jin, who sat down against the wall as if collapsing, held onto the magic scroll he made until the end even as he fell asleep.
