Only I Am Immune to Magic

Episode 003. i guess i’m lucky

“Kuk!”

Aaron frowned at the strong grip on his ankle.

Dozens of rock hands gripping his ankles, calves, and thighs were ready to drag him down to the bottom of the lake at any moment.

[Prove your qualifications.]

Suddenly, the typeface I had just seen flickered in front of my eyes.

“Turisaz.”

Aaron spat out the rune language he had just absorbed and yanked the rock hand clinging to his leg.

fast-

Then, the rock hand, which was firmly fixed as if it would never fall, fell to pieces like rotten wood.

‘done.’

I was worried about what would happen if the rune language was also disabled due to the influence of magic haters, but it was unfounded.

Rune language is the expression of will using pure mental power.

Because it did not use mana, it did not fall under the category of magic.

Pudeuk! Poududeuk!

Aaron, who succeeded in manifesting the runes, increased his speed and tore off the rock hands.

There is no problem with the rune expression itself, but it was impossible to use it indefinitely.

As time went by, my head started pounding and my vision became blurry, and I could lose my mind if I made a mistake.

‘It’s breathtaking.’

Just before the air bubble completely disappeared, Aaron finally removed all the rock hands.

“Huh!”

Moving away from where Rune was, he prepared himself and inhaled the last remaining air.

Chow!

Then, as soon as it thinned, the air bubble burst and ice-cold water hit my face.

“Grumble!”

Aaron shuddered at the chill of his mind and raised his head.

It was time to get out of this cold, dark place.

kang! kang! kang!

the next day.

Aaron was still working a pickaxe at the bottom of the Tmoline Mine.

The day before, there had been an accident in which a supervisor drowned in a corner of the mine, but the position was quickly replaced by a new supervisor.

Supervisors working here are, in the end, mere janitors who work for money from the mine owner.

He probably notified that he had been in an accident and gave money or a few pennies to his family or friends.

Maybe he didn’t even do that, saying it was his mistake.

“That guy from number 101. Don’t you feel like you have more energy?”

“I know. I thought I would die in a few days.”

“Look at that. I’m almost healed from being whipped.”

“Are you really a ghost?”

Some of the slaves watching Aaron whispered quietly.

Rumors spread widely among them that Aaron had eaten the Overseer.

The sturdy overseer sank to the bottom of the lake, and the slave, who looked like he would die if hit with it, came out alive, so it was only natural that such rumors would circulate.

“Director. All quotas have been met.”

No matter what others say, Aaron, who had been quietly picking a pickaxe, approached the supervisor carrying a full sack on his back before he knew it.

[9]

The level was always visible above the new supervisor’s head.

He was a man who knew how to properly use carrots and sticks.

Slaves who fulfilled their quota first were allowed to return to their quarters in advance, and slaves who could not fulfill their quota were maimed on the spot.

“Are you number 101?”

the overseer asked, looking Aaron up and down.

Aaron bowed politely and replied.

“yes. That’s right.”

“The other slaves called you a predator. They ate the supervisor.”

“It is an unfounded rumor.”

“Looking at what you’re doing, it doesn’t seem like a rumor.”

The overseer lifted the sack Aaron had brought and inspected its contents.

The amount of work assigned to the slaves was barely enough to be filled by pickaxing throughout the day.

But Aaron finished that large portion before lunchtime.

The quality of the mined minerals was also good, so there was nothing to complain about.

“Please accept this.”

Aaron handed something to the overseer, who was thinking about what fault to pick up.

On top of the sweaty old glove was an intact mana stone with all impurities removed.

Although the shape was crooked, it was definitely a valuable item as a mana stone.

“… … Where did you get this from?”

“I was lucky to pick it up while mining.”

“You picked it up?”

“yes. I kept it in case it would be helpful to the supervisor.”

Aaron lowered his head and continued.

It was a lie.

He used a rune to separate the pieces of mana stone from the ore, and then combined them with power to make a complete mana stone.

It was a processing method that could not be imagined by common sense.

‘This should easily exceed one gold coin.’

The overseer muttered to himself.

When digging for ores, intact mana stones like this can sometimes be found.

Originally, these things should be collected separately and reported to the superior, but he had no intention of doing that.

The other slaves didn’t see it, because Aaron secretly brought it to me.

“… … Go inside.”

The supervisor, who was trying to find some fault with him and make him work more, took the mana stone and waved his hand.

Aaron lowered his head once more and walked out of the quarry.

* * *

After successfully returning to the dorm, Aaron took out the paper and pencil that he had tucked away under the blanket.

In the midst of the uproar from the accident the previous day, he had gone through the supervisor’s belongings and snuck into it.

“The baron said he would come after lunch.”

The reason he returned to his lodgings in such a hurry was because of the baron, who was due to visit in the afternoon.

Originally, his plan was to stay in the underground mine for a while and escape after achieving sufficient growth, but after learning the name and identity of the baron, his thoughts changed.

Baron Cain Oddhaken.

He was the head of a family of knights who quickly built wealth and honor based on the mana stones from the Tmoline Mine.

The baron had a woman he had a brief crush on when he was on a business trip to the Tmoline region a long time ago.

Her name is Amelia.

Although they are now married to a noble family and are silent, the image of their former lover still resides in the baron’s chest.

Amelia died a few years after the baron’s visit, leaving behind a young son.

The baron, who had only recently learned of this, made inquiries about her child, but no one knew where it was, only to hear that some vagrant had taken it.

‘I couldn’t believe it was me.’

For the past two days, Aaron has constantly replayed memories of himself and retraced the past.

What I found out at the end of that effort was the memory of Amelia.

Other memories are hazy, as if shrouded in thick fog, but the memory of her as a mother was clear.

‘This must be a game-like permissible.’

Verfect is an unfriendly game to users, but there is a hole to escape if you look carefully in any situation.

The setting that Aaron is Odd Haken’s illegitimate son must be a kind of tutorial for escaping from this mine.

I doubt that meeting the baron will do me any favors, but it was good to try, since the opportunity presented itself anyway.

“hmm. What do you write?”

Aaron chewed on the end of his pencil and looked down at the empty stationery.

Then, as if he had waited, the knowledge of the bard he had played before flowed into his head.

Numerous songs and poems that touched the tens of millions of people in Buffett and even appeared in history books unfolded like a panorama.

[Dear my eternal knight… … .]

Before long, the great man’s hands began to dance on the rough parchment.

“Today’s work is over! Everyone go back to your inn!”

A little later around noon. The district supervisors who were watching the clock returned the slaves to their rooms.

It was to clean up in case the soon-to-be-visited baron came into the mine.

“there! bastard! Rub it hard!”

“It’s like picking a pickaxe! Make sure you can’t see your hands!”

Even the supervisors, who did not hesitate to kill slaves in the mines, refrained from abuse at this time.

It was because the baron did not prefer to abuse his slaves.

“Why is one empty?”

4th basement floor. The deepest part of the mine.

During the cleaning, the supervisor who was conducting an intermediate inspection frowned.

There was no problem until I started cleaning, but now I see that one head is missing.

“No. 101? Where has this bastard from number 101 gone?”

It was number 101 that disappeared.

The guy who gave me the mana stone earlier and went into the dorm first.

I remembered it clearly because of the nickname of the overseer-eating ghost.

“Now, I don’t know.”

“It was there until I cleaned it… … .”

Even the slaves didn’t really know.

I was standing next to him holding a mop until right before the cleaning started, but I was embarrassed to hear that it suddenly disappeared.

“What if you don’t know? Hurry up, boys!”

“Yes, yes!”

The slaves began to move busily at the supervisor’s discord.

“Director! I think you should take a look here!”

Stop cleaning and search around for a while.

One of the slaves called the supervisor in an urgent voice.

Just in case, the overseer grabbed a club and an artifact for a dog collar and ran towards it.

“Such a plague… … .”

Stairway entrance to the upper floors.

The two guards standing in front of it collapsed with foam at the mouth.

* * *

In addition to the passage for transporting slaves, there is a secret passage in Tmolin Mine that only the supervisor and other mine officials know.

Artifacts that emit electricity are installed in the secret passage at regular intervals, and in order to pass there, you had to use the neutralization artifact distributed by the mine.

“It’s easy, it’s easy.”

Of course, it wasn’t that difficult for Aaron to open that passage.

The powerful current shield had no effect on him, and the guards who normally patrolled here were all on the ground, ready to greet the baron.

“One floor left.”

As I kept walking, I found myself in front of the stairs leading to the first basement floor.

Every time the baron visited the mine, he always called the slaves to check the condition, and the target slaves were mostly those who lived on the first floor underground.

Until now, it had been deep underground and had never been seen by the baron, but this time it was intended to go upstairs and see the reflection of its face.

“Let’s go a little further.”

There are no secret passages on the first basement floor, and more guards roam around than on other floors.

It was good to hide among the cleaning slaves before the guys who chased them underground found them.

Aaron set the leather armor on his back to the ground.

An item worn by the first guard you defeated.

I put it on hold because I was afraid that wearing it would make my body dull, but I had to wear it as a disguise because there was a risk of getting caught if I entered the first basement floor.

paper weave-

Would you wear half of it?

Suddenly, the curtain of current flowing at the entrance to the stairs was lifted and two figures appeared.

“… … ?”

“… … ?”

Aaron and the guards stared at each other for several seconds, trying to figure out the situation.

[12] [13]

Soon, red numbers appeared above their heads.

tadak-

Aaron was the first to move.

He threw himself at the guard in front and pulled the restraint.

Pajijijik!

Blinding currents exploded and covered them.

“Ouch… … .”

The electrocuted guard passed out with crab foam, but did not die in the end.

It had been used once to kill the supervisor before, so the magic of the restraining tool had run out.

I tried pulling it again just in case, but only blue sparks flew from my neck.

‘If possible, they’ll stick together.’

Aaron clicked his tongue inside and jumped up.

Originally, I was going to electrocute them both, but I couldn’t because the guy behind me avoided it.

“What are you, you bastard!”

The guard, who managed to avoid being electrocuted, opened his eyes wide to see Aaron, who was fine even after receiving the electric poultice.

“Turisaz.”

Instead of answering, Aaron recited the language of runes.

As soon as I used the rune, I felt my body fall down the cliff and the world spun.

‘Let’s be patient for a bit.’

The difference in level with him was more than two digits.

The duration of the rune allowed by mental power was only about 3 seconds.

There was no room for fuss.

“Search!”

The guard brandished his club with an angry roar.

oops!

He grabbed it with both hands and broke it at once.

“… … !”

The anger in his eyes turned to fear and fear.

“aaa!”

He let go of the broken club and threw a fist.

A blind fist that was swung without seeing the opponent properly.

Puck!

After dodging lightly, he put a fist into his chin.

The perfect counter punch.

The guards were neatly stacked on top of the senior who had fallen first with their tongues sticking out.

“Kuk.”

After 3 seconds, the power of the rune disappeared, and dizziness came more severe than before.

dump-

Aaron sat back against the wall for a while and waited for the dizziness to go away.

But I couldn’t rest for long.

You never know when the stunned ones will wake up, and if another guard comes down again, you will be dead.

Aaron repeatedly fell down and got up and put on his leather armor.

Killing them will level them up and restore their health, but unfortunately they don’t have blades.

There was not enough time and energy to kill with bare hands, so there was no other way.

“I guess you’re lucky.”

Eventually, he finished his disguise and leisurely left the place, leaving the fainted men behind.
