Feeling suffocated, he groaned without realizing it.
He tried to sit up with a frown.
He could feel his muscles flinching with strength, but his body showed no signs of getting up.
He opened his eyes only then, he felt frustrated that his body couldnât move properly according to what he wanted.
âAish, my headâŠâ
Whatâs the problem? His head had been aching for a while now.
He tried raising his arms but he felt that they were heavier than usual. Slowly struggling, his hands reach up to his forehead and rubbed it.
Headache similar to a hangover.
âDid I perhaps get drunk?ââ
Last night, he returned home to read the novel without drinking.
Whatâs wrong with my body? I didnât even put alcohol on my mouth?
âNo, thatâs not the problemâŠâ
He stared around blankly.
Something is weird!
This wasnât the same familiar studio.
The ceiling of the studio where he lived was not that high.
As his bodyâs senses gradually returned, he was now able to raise his upper body.
The thick blanket gently sweeps down his body.
Was it because of the blanket that made my headache?
That wasnât the point now.
In a place where he had never come in his life, he was looking at the sight he had never seen before.
This room was as big as his living room.
âIs this a set?â It was so well decorated that he wondered if it was a set for filming a movie.
Old-fashioned furniture and sparkling decorations disturbed his eyes.
âWhat is this?â
He was reading a novel back in his studio, but when he woke up, he was in a completely strange place.
Is this a dream?
No, this is not a dream.
To call it a dream, the senses felt throughout his body were so vivid.
Blankets and clothes, he could feel them rubbing against his skin.
A lucid dream?
It canât be.
And then he thoughtâŠÂ Was this a hidden camera prank?
But that didnât make sense either.
He didnât know anyone to prank him like this.
âWhatâs the point of doing a hidden camera prank against me? It will only cost money.â
Then what is it?
I am so confused.
There were all sorts of things he didnât own in this big room.
There are so many desks, books, closets, and doors.
There are as many as three doors.
âI donât even know where each door is going to.â
He got out of bed and walked to a desk on one side of the room.
He was wondering if there was anything he could get information about.
On the desk, there was a palm-sized notebook and a pen on top.
He opened it out carefully.
Although the shape was a little different, he was familiar because it was an item that he would frequently use.
The moment he was going to read something from the notebook.
Knock, Knock
He heard a knock on the door.
âYoung master, Alice is ready to serve. May I come in?â
âYeah, yeah. Come on in.â
His body went stiff, but his mouth moved by itself to answer.
He was embarrassed by his random answer, but he tried to keep a straight face.
Click.
The door opened. Along with it, a woman dressed in maid clothes appeared.
ââŠâŠ.â
He closed his mouth.
Although the room felt antique, he never imagined that a woman in a maidâs clothes would appear.
She looked at him and said with a tone slightly surprised.
âYou woke up early today for some reason, Young master.â
âUh⊠What?â
It was his first time experiencing this, so he looked awkwardly down.
He canât help but feel awkward.
He has experienced many things in his life, but this was his first time experiencing something like this.
After he lost his consciousness while reading the novel, when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a place he had never seen before.
This was not a situation that made sense in the first place.
In addition, even the woman standing in front of him was dressed up as a maid
It was natural that his confusion increased.
âAre you not feeling well?â
âHuh? No. I am okay.â
He shook his head and answered.
Perhaps it was because he still canât process things straight, but whenever he answered, there would always be âHuhâ.
âYou donât look good⊠Are you okay? Did you drink too much last night?.â
âItâs okay. More than thatâŠâ
âWhat?â
He wanted to ask why he was here, but he thought it would be weird to ask that.
âItâs nothing.â
He shook his head and acted as if nothing had happened.
One of the things he is best at is acting.
While acting, he carefully looked at the maid in front of him.
Pretty, she is very pretty.
But what was her name again?
Was it Alice?
The name sounds familiar.
Was it because itâs the name of a famous fairy tale, Alice in the Wonderland?
Suddenly, he realized that it was also the same name as an extra from the novel âMaster of Talentâ written by his fan.
The âExtraâ character, Alice. Exactly, it was just a passerby role.
There was a character that slightly interfered with the main characterâs path at the beginning of the novel, giving him proper growth, and allowing the main character to show off his talent.
Raymond Millennium.
The son of a Master Wizard (5-6th Circle Wizard), Count Millennium.
Raymond, who used to act as a Tyrant, as usual, meets the main character and loses his life.
He then became the cause of the sudden explosiveness of talent of the Main Character.
âAliceâŠâ
The description of Raymondâs death was imprinted in his head. Either it was because he read each word carefully or because it was the first murder of the Main Character.
âIâll help you with changing your clothes, young master.â
Raymond stood up straight without saying anything to Aliceâs voice.
âWhat clothes would you like to wear today?â Alice said, showing three sets of clothes in front of him.
He chose one of the three clothes right away, without minding the style.
He thought itâd be awkward if he took more time on choosing his clothes.
âThat.â
He doesnât know why, but it felt natural to choose clothes.
As if he had already done it several times.
âThatâs a good choice. As expected of Master RaymondâŠ.â
At Aliceâs words, his body suddenly stopped.
He couldnât even hear his surroundings anymore.
His brain has stopped working.
He swallowed his saliva and opened his mouth with trembling lips.
âA-Alice.â
âYes, young master.â
âWhat did you just say?â
âWhat? I said Master Raymond has a good eye for choosing clothes?â
He ignored the other words, and only focused on one. Raymond.
Oh, God.
He closed his eyes tightly.
An unbelievable theory came to his mind and then disappeared.
Those are ridiculous theories.
But I think they make sense.
Something big seemed to have happened.

It took 10 days.
After 10 days he could finally accept that he transmigrated in the novel, âThe Master of Talent.â
At first, he wanted to deny it, saying it was ridiculous. But as he lived as a Raymond Millennium, not a âLee Sunghyukâ for these 10 days, he accepted it on his own.
He got used to Raymond Millenniumâs life little by little, and the name Lee Sunghyuk slowly faded.
10 days was enough time to finally realized that he really had transmigrated in the novel.
In addition, it was time to decide on what path he would choose to walk on to.
Knock, Knock.
âYoung master.â
âCome on in.â
With a knock on the door, he immediately replied to Aliceâs voice.
At first, he felt that it was very awkward and crazy, but now he got used to it.
To be exact, he got used to âactingâ as Raymond Millennium.
Click.
Alice came into the room familiarly.
Before she could say anything, she chose the plainest clothes among the three clothes she brought.
He thinks clothes are the hardest thing to get used to as Raymond.
Most of his clothes are adorned with extravagant accessories, and they are so colorful that it became hard for him to wear this type of clothes. He was still used to Modern clothes.
âToday, I will be wearing this.â
âI understand.â
Alice answered slightly without hesitation and helped him change.
âAlice.â
âYes, young master.â
âWhatâs the rumors these days?
He did his best to understand his current situation for the past 10 days.
He busied himself these 10 days by comparing how same this place is with the novel he read and if there are some differences.
And his conclusion isâŠ
Itâs exactly the same.
Raymond Millennium in the novel was an incompetent Son.
A jerk who denied the reality after his mother passed away and grew up not believing in the world.
ââŠstill the same.â
âReally?â
âHowever, from what I feelâŠThe young master has changed a little.â
âIâve changed a lot.â
He replied by cutting off Aliceâs words.
She shut up for a moment.
After changing his clothes completely, Alice took a step back and opened her mouth.
âYouâve definitely changed. If Master saw the current young master, he will feel the same way.â
âBut I still have no talent in magic.â
Alice flinched and couldnât reply to his sudden remarks.
The Millennium family was one of the four prestigious families that supported the Magic Tower.
In other words, it is called they are a Wizard Family.
And Raymond, the only child of the Millennium family, possessed no talent for magic.
At the age of 17 years old, Raymond still remained at the level of 1st circle at the age when most of the children of the other three Families are in their 3rd circles.
âItâs not the young masterâs fault.â
âLetâs go. Today is âThat Dayâ.â
He scratched his cheek at her words to comfort me.
Once a month, there is a class where 1st and 2nd circle students gathered.
A class with a special lesson about the basics of magic.
It was being carried out at the Magic Tower because it would be a great help to the apprenticeship wizards in the 1st and 2nd cycles.
âAre you going to the Magic Tower right away?â
âYes. Iâll go alone, so go to work.â
âYes, young master. Then Iâll guide you to the Gate.â
Over the past 10 days, everything he could do has been done through Alice.
Since he was already strange from the beginning, no one doubted him not coming out of his room these past 10 days.
âWill it be okay?â
He was a little nervous because it was his first time going to the Magic Tower and meeting other people since he came here.
It was also because there was little description in the novel about this.
The âThe Master of talentâ revolved only around the main character and it never describe the back story of the other characters.
The Gate was a passage connected to the Magic Tower.
A device that allows people to travel a distance that would usually take tens of days compressed into seconds.
As a Wizard Family, of course, a Gate was installed in their residence.
âThere are other people.â
Alice found two apprenticeship wizards standing in front of the Gate and said.
Apprenticeship wizards working for the Millennium family.
These are now in their 2nd circle.
âHello.â
âOh, itâs been a while. Young Master Raymond.â
The apprenticeship wizards smiled and greeted him.
Their smile didnât contain any good intentions.
âYoung master must be attending this class.â
ââŠâŠ.â
âYouâve been attending it for nearly 10 years⊠I hope that you gain enlightenment and rise to the 2nd circle.â
The two apprenticeship wizards giggled and laughed as they pretended to encourage him
If it were the original Raymond, he would not say anything.
He would have just relieved his anger to his maids or servants later on.
âLook at these punks!â
However, he had no intention of ignoring this situation.
For the past 10 days after he came here, he had already decided on how he would live as Raymond.
He never intended to be a useless jerk.
If he is going to live his life as a jerk, itâs better to be a proper reasonable Jerk.
And to do that, he shouldnât stay still in this situation.
He took a deep breath.
[âThe Unknown Godâ glitters in anticipation of your talent blooming]
He closed his eyes and opened his mouth.
âYou guys are crazy.â
Thatâs what he said before raising the corners of his mouth.
