Why did he wait? While Soo-hyuk was wondering, Cordell walked to the front of the stairs, and the wizard standing between Soo-hyuk and Cordell slipped to the side and went down.
âCan I talk with you for a minute?â, Cordell asked, when the other wizard had left and they were the only ones there.
âWhat is this about?âŚâ
Soo-hyuk responded with a question.
âWell, it might be an embarrassing story for you to hearâŚ..â, Cordell said, starting his narration.
And at Cordellâs words, Soo-hyuk narrowed his brow.
âIt seems that the Towermaster is in love with you, Soo-hyuk.â
â⌠⌠Love?â
Love? What is this all of a sudden?
âYes.â
Cordell nodded and Soo-hyuk asked again.
âSo, you are saying that Brinis is in love with me?â
âYes.â
At Soo-hyukâs question, Cordell nodded again.
At Cordellâs nod, Soo-hyuk stayed silent. What should he say in the current situation?
âWhat the hell is he talking about?â
He honenstly wanted to scream his question, but, because he couldnât just say that, he kept the question to himself.
âWhy does the Lord of the Tower of Fire love me?â
It was too sudden. They hadnât met often. Once before, once yesterday. There have been only two meetings.
And both meetings were meetings of an romantic kind.
So, why did Brinis love him? Soo-hyuk couldnât understand.
âI know itâs embarrassing.â
Did he notice Soo-hyukâs thoughts?
Cordell continued.
âBy the way, she is the kind of woman who falls in love on a whim like thatâŚ.â
âAhâŚ.â
At Cordellâs words, Soo-hyuk sighed exhaustedly.
âBut why are you telling me that?â
Then he asked. Why did he tell Soo-hyuk that Brinis was in love?
Is he telling him to commit to a relationship with her?
âIf you reciprocate her feelings, the Towermaster will reallyâŚ..â
Cordell tried to answer Soo-hyukâs question and shuddered at the thought.
âShe will shower you with gifts.â
â⌠⌠shower me with gifts?â
âYes, she will try to gift you everything, whether itâs expensive jewelry or paintings. She doesnât think of the towerâs finances, she will just give presents over presents.â
âAnd the recipient of that will most likely be you.â
Soo-hyuk couldnât say anything to Cordell. He didnât know what to say in the current situation.
âI donât think heâs lying.â
Cordellâs look was so serious. Besides, there was no reason to lie. What would he gain by lying about this?
âThe reason I told you this isâŚ.. I would like you to decline the gifts from Brinis. If you refuse her, Iâll get what you need. So, pleaseâŚâ
The moment Cordellâs words were over, a quest appeared.
<Cordellâs Request>
Cordell knows what happens when Brinis falls in love. Cordell is convinced that Brinis will like you and will go on a spending spree like in the past.
Cordell doesnât want you to accept gifts from Brinis. Of course, you wonât remain empty-handed.
Cordell intends to get you what you need if you donât receive her gifts.
You have to choose whether to accept the gift from Brinis or get what you need from Cordell.
Quest Reward: ???
Significantly increases intimacy with Cordell upon acceptance of the quest
Significant decrease in intimacy with Cordell when quest is rejected
âHuhâŚ..â
After seeing the quest, Soo-hyuk sighed.
âWhat is this?â
It was an unexpected quest.
âItâs good?â
Quests that appear suddenly are usually annoying. This time, of course, he thought it would also be such a quest. But it wasnât.
It was a quest that caused him a smile, not annoyance.
âIn the end, it means that whatever I choose, I will receive it.â
Whether he accepted the quest or not, he would get what he needed Nevertheless.
âI donât know why this quest appeared.â
Soo-hyuk did nothing. He didnât understand why such a good quest appeared.
âWho do I choose?â
He didnât understand, but looking at Cordellâs eyes waiting for an answer, it seemed that he had to make a choice soon. Soo-hyuk looked at the quest and thought.
âCordell would be better.â
When he thought about it, it was a quest that had a choice in the first place.
âIntimacyâŚâ
If he refused, the intimacy would drop significantly. The relationship with Cordell wasnât really important, but it wasnât that the decline in intimacy was irrelevant.
âOkay. If you give me the items I need, I will refuse her.â
Having made the decision, Soo-hyuk responded to Cordell, who was waiting for an answer.
[You have accepted the quest âCordellâs Requestâ.]
[Intimacy with Cordell, the Vice-Lord of the Tower, has greatly increased.]
[Completed the quest âCordellâs Requestâ]
âThank you.â
Upon answering, a message appeared and Cordell expressed gratitude.
âNo. Iâll see you if I need anything later.â
âYes! If you have anything you need, please tell me.â
After speaking, Soo-hyuk and Cordell smiled at each other.

âââââ-
âCordell, has he prepared everything?â
Brinis called Cordell.
âHere you go.â
And Cordell reached out. Cordellâs hand held a black bag. However, Soo-hyukâs gaze wasnât on Brinis and Cordell. It wasnât even on the black bag.
âThatâs a subspace.â
If the user had inventory, the NPC had a subspace. Soo-hyukâs gaze was on Cordellâs subspace.
It was then.
Suaak
The subspace disappeared, and Soo-hyuk turned back to see Brinis.
âSoo-hyuk!â
Then Brinis called Soo-hyuk as if she had been waiting.
âYes.â
When Soo-hyuk responded, Brinis smiled and pushed out the black bag she had received from Cordell.
âThe stuff you wrote down yesterday is in here.â
âOh, thank you.â
Soo-hyuk, who got up while expressing his gratitude, received a black bag.
[Acquired Cordellâs magic bag.]
Soo-hyuk put the bag in his inventory and used it straight away, after which countless messages started to appear.
[Acquires 10 Soul Stones of Advanced Demons.]
The message ended with the soul stone of the advanced demons, and Soo-hyuk opened the quest window and checked the 2nd list.
Soo-hyuk smiled. Most of the quest [Complete] buttons were active. Soo-hyuk clicked the [Complete] button to start learning the skill.
[You have completed the skill quest âFire Fieldâ.]
[You have acquired the skill âFire Fieldâ?
Another message feast followed. Of course, it was a message that did not need to be checked, so Soo-hyuk did not give attention to the message.
âI would like to see you use magic, if itâs possible?â
Brinis asked while Soo-hyuk was completing the quests and learning the skills.
[You have completed the skill quest âHellfireâ.]
[You have acquired the skill âHellfireâ.]
Soo-hyuk, who finished all of the skill quests where the [Complete] button was active after Hellfire, responded with a smile.
âOf course.â
âWell, a little bit cramped in here.â
Brinis smiled and raised a cane. And she swung the staff.
Suaak
As she swung the cane, the surrounding space became agitated. And soon the distorted space was restored and Soo-hyuk arrived in a new space other than Brinisâ room.
âWhere is this?â
Soo-hyuk looked around. There was nothing around. It was empty.
As if she had noticed Soo-hyukâs curiosity, Brinis said,
âItâs my training room.â
Cordell looked at the place where Soo-hyuk and Brinis just had been.
âShe couldnât have warped without me by mistake. Then it means that she deliberately warped like thatâŚâ
Brinis couldnât have made that mistake, so itâs a story that she and Soo-hyuk deliberately warped alone.
âI was curious tooâŚâ
Cordell, too, was curious about the magic of Soo-hyuk, who has a talent beyond measure. However, it seemed like he had to wait to the next time until he could satisfy his curiosity.
âHeeeeeâŚâ
Soon after, Cordell shook his head and left the room.
âIs it possible to cast magic in here?â
âYes, there are powerful magic defenses engraved on each wall as well as on the floor and ceiling, so feel free to cast magic!â
âWhich magic should I cast first?â
It was Brinis who wanted to see the magic cast. So, Soo-hyuk asked Brinis.
âWell, itâs the most powerful magic you can cast. Ah! But it has to be fire magic and not poison magic.
Soo-hyuk opened the skill window at Brinisâ words.
âIf it has to be the strongest fire spellâŚâ
And began to check the spells. And soon Soo-hyuk was able to find the most powerful fire spell.
<Hellfire>
Proficiency: Beginner level 1 (0%)
Special Effect: 100% chance to inflict burns on the target.
Mana: 5000
Cooldown: 5 minutes
Casting time: 30 seconds
It was Hellfire. Hellfire was currently the most powerful of Soo-hyukâs fire magic.
âItâs actually 30 seconds, but should I try to cast it in 10 seconds?â
Soo-hyuk thought while looking at Hellfireâs casting time. Soo-hyuk was able to shorten the casting time of all magic by 20 seconds due to the skill âHemp Masterâ.
The cast time of Hell Fire was 30 seconds. Even if it was reduced by 20 seconds, it was still necessary to cast for 10 seconds.
âIt wonât be necessary to use Yarionâs Wrath.â
If he equipped Yarionâs Wrath, he could show a stronger spell.
However, it seemed that there was no need to wear Yarionâs Wrath in a situation where all he had to do was demonstrate the spell.
âHellfire.â
Soo-hyuk casted Hellfire.
Suaak
The casting bar appeared and 10 seconds later, the casting bar disappeared and a small flower of fire appeared. And before one second passed, the small flame disappeared.
It was not that he failed to cast the magic.
Hwarlock!!!
The small flame disappeared and soon appeared in a place designated Soo-hyuk.
It couldnât be called a small spark anymore. The small flame was enormously growing in size and burning the designated place.
âItâs bigger than I thought?â
Hellfire is not a wide area magic. Nevertheless, Hellfire had a fairly wide area of effect.
It was then.
Joojojo Tto Jjo
Leaks appeared on the wall. Not exactly the wall, but the magic defenses that were engraved on the wall appeared. It was evident because of Hellfireâs destructive power.
âIâm able to do that?â
Was it normal for leaks to appear? No, it shouldnât be normal. Soo-hyuk turned his head and looked at Brinis. And Soo-hyuk could see.
The embarrassment and surprise in Brinisâ expression.
