Chapter 27
No matter how courageous a person is, his reaction is strange when he almost got sold overseas!
Seonwoo Yeon raised her head and looked at the mans face.
A cold-hearted atmosphere where not even the slightest tremor can be found.
She tilted her head when she thought about whether that was the face of someone who had been kidnapped.
.
The awakening kidnapping organization, of which they had been clueless for months, was wiped out all at once.
Even though it was good news, Seonwoo Yeon couldnt smile.
Dont tell me
There was a possibility that the man in front of her had been kidnapped on purpose and had set up the whole situation.
Seonwoo Yeon-ssi.
Wiiing wiiing. Someone secretly swallowed dry saliva amidst the high-pitched sound of the siren.
Seonwoo Yeon tried hard to hide her nervous expression. The F-Class Hunter looked at her and briefly asked a question.
The police are saying that we should move slowly. Does Seonwoo Yeon-ssi plan to go with them?
And eyes that look like a snake stuck in a swamp.

The stormy day passed.
Kang Changho, you b*stard!
After making a forced statement all morning, I returned home and fell straight into my blanket.
That b*stard ran away, and I was so tired of explaining things to myself! Haa, I almost died.
It was a false accusation following a kidnapping.
Anyway, nothing good has happened since I was reincarnated. I mumbled for a while and then slowly got up.
Growl. Perhaps because I had been starving, my stomach was making a loud noise.
Ugh, Im starving.
Im glad that I stopped to buy some bread on the way home.
I sat down with the red bean bread I bought at the mart in my mouth.
But still I got that item through this incident, so is the result beneficial?
And this time.
While I was eating, something suddenly caught my eye.
A round object that flashes and boasts golden glory whenever sunlight hits it. Its quite a familiar shape.
Its not bad to have at least one magical tool with abnormal status.
Sleep Incense Burner.
The item used by the kidnappers was placed in one corner of Kim Kiryeos studio.
And thats mine now. How did that happen?
I briefly recalled a conversation with the police earlier.
So, you are saying that you used an incense burner to subdue the kidnappers?
Yes, yes.
Ah, so I guess this item must be yours?
?
No wonder when I looked through these guys ledgers, I couldnt find the incense burner on the list. It must have been mistaken because it was next to the criminals. Well, they probably didnt fall asleep because of their own items.
Oh
This is that kind of item too, right? It has no effect on the owner.
Apparently, the tools the criminals had were quite rare.
Even the police didnt know the exact effect of the item, so they mistook it for its owner.
Therefore, I confidently answered the polices question about whether this incense burner was yours.
Yes!
A sight that the mountain spirit in the story of the golden ax and the silver ax would be astonished to see!
But I couldnt help it either. Because right now, Im desperate for every method.
I just threw it away earlier because the smoke ran out. This is a rechargeable magic tool.
If the lie is discovered, all I have to do is return the incense burner.
With that in mind, I lightly observed the new magic tool.
Hmm, it can only be used on humans. I wonder if it will have no effect on animals or monsters.
What happened was quite difficult for me, but it was okay because I got free magic tools.
***
And 24 hours later.
Hoho.
I have finally taken my historic first step on Earth.
Hahahahaha!
As of today, the production of <Magic Booster> has been completed.
And it was a success as a result of taking this medicine and experimenting. Its a success.
Ive got my magic back!
Aah As expected, I am a rare genius great magician who is born once every few hundred years. Of course.
Following yesterdays kidnapping, it was worthwhile to devote myself urgently to this research, using the threat to my life as a motivation.
I cant believe I managed to make this medicine with poor ingredients on a remote planet. If the academic society found out, they would have shed tears and given a standing ovation.
The role of <Magic Booster> is simple.
If I drink this, I will be able to use magic for a short period of time. This means that it exceeds the minimum magical power threshold required to activate magic.
To use an example, it is similar to the flint of a lighter in that it produces initial energy.
Whoo, good. There is no problem with breathing.
The effectiveness of this booster lasts for only 5 minutes.
Still, it is enough time to complete one skill.
I immediately performed my first magic on Earth.
If I were to record this change in Alphauri style, it would look like this.
[1.0.0 changes details]
Tak, tak, tak. I jumped lightly in place. I no longer feel the same pain as before.
Kim Kiryeo is now fully able to run.
Ugh, finally!
A problem that had been bothering me ever since I was reincarnated has been resolved!
But its still too early to be happy. The journey ahead will be a long marathon.
I am even more certain now that I have checked it with my own hands. Kim Kiryeos magical power is reallytrash!
A small amount of magic power that only the F-Class has.
Damage to the lungs that is severe as a result of heavy smoking.
Without solving these tasks, I wont be able to recreate the glories of the past.
But I am.
I havent properly adapted to the Earths environment yet. Most of the techniques used in my hometown have to be modified.
The range of magic that could be used has drastically decreased due to the side effects of reincarnation.
To the extent that only very basic techniques can be used.
What is this? Why can I use magic, but I still have the combat capabilities of a paramecium?
Furthermore, given Kim Kiryeos qualifications, even with a little beginner magic, all of his magic power is gone.
Magic power boosters are something that can cause serious trouble if I dont drink them over a certain period of time, so even one magic drink a day is enough to put a strain on my body.
No. Its just that Paramecium is better than Kim Kiryeo.
For some reason, the more I understand reality, the more I feel depressed.
First of all, no matter how much I thought about it, in the end, the most fundamental solution to this situation was to fix the lungs.
Currently, due to the deterioration of organ function, even the unattractive magic power of the F-Class cant be used easily.
The efficiency of mana coming out of damaged lungs is at most 613%.
Now, I cant regain all my lost status just by recovering my health, but I can at least live by imitating a wizard by fixing my respiratory system. But
What a delicate organ the lungs are! If it is in a state of black rottenness like Kim Kiryeo, then it is already beyond the point where it can be repaired.
Now I have no choice but to take out the entire lung and replace it with a new one.
To complete such an enormous construction project on an F-Class body, it would be better to change the body entirely.
No, but the problem is that I cant use the magic that would allow me to change my body because of the poor condition of my lungs
Its an infinite repetition. Problems come one after another.
Hahahaha.
Yeah. Lets stop thinking.
I didnt know that just repairing one leg would empty my magic power. Well, anyway. Success is success.
To celebrate todays success, I took a Cola out of the refrigerator.
It was at this time that I began to rationalize myself.
-Ding dong, ding dong ding dong! Ding dong.
Hmm?
Its been quiet for a few days, and then I hear that sound again.
Doorbell? Is it Seonwoo Yeon?
I stopped opening the can of Cola.
After that, I went out to the front door and opened the door.
Then I saw the face of an old man.
Oohh, student! Were you at home? Thats a relief. I was just about to make a phone call. Phew.
A word passes through my mind.
LandlordGrandpa?
This man is in Kim Kiryeos memory.
After recognizing the person, I opened the front door wider.
Kiryeo. Im sorry for coming to you so suddenly. Uhm, but
Is it because this is the first time Ive seen someone who recognizes Kim Kiryeo? It feels a bit strange.
So I blinked my eyes and listened to what he said, but the next words made my eyelids freeze.
I havent received the monthly rent yet Student, are you having a hard time this month, too?
Monthly rent?
But you know. Its already been three months, and I cant wait any longer. Im sorry.
Three months?
And on the way there, the mailbox was full, so I took it out? But I see that you havent even paid the maintenance cost yet?
T, thats
Student, if you do this, you should call me. We have to pay quickly.
The old landlord gave me the papers he was holding.
Most of them were documents labeled as bill notices.
Anyway, Ill only wait till the end of this month, so if you cant pay the overdue monthly rent, please leave the room as soon as possible.
Fragments of Kim Kiryeos memories start to come back to him.
Monthly rent, gas bill, and electricity bill.
I asked the old man a question by the time these words had filled my mind.
Im sorry, but how much was our monthly rent exactly?
For reference, the money in my bank account is 3,320 won.
450,000 won.
.
Ah, I understand. Ill contact you again later.
Bang!
I close the front door with trembling hands and return inside the room.
And as I opened the documents the landlord gave me, I became fully aware of this situation.
If I dont find the 1.35 million won to pay the overdue monthly rent, will I be kicked out of this house?
Rent! Communications bills! Electricity bills!
A new fear struck me.
As a result of belatedly compiling the bills, the money I need to save is as much as 2 million won!
If its until the end of this month, its only 14 days?
But in reality, it looked like it would be hard to get the amount the landlord asked for by the deadline given.
I wouldnt know if he were simply looking for monthly rent.
It would be difficult if electricity and water were cut off, so these issues needed to be solved immediately.
Im doomed!
So, after careful consideration, I pulled out my trump card.
-Beep beep beep.
I took out my phone, selected a number from the blocked list, and touched it.
[Unblock]
And then press and hold a certain button. I made a call.
The wait wasnt long. There were three beeps and the call was soon connected.
Hello?
Haa I really didnt want to use this method.
Is this Kang Changho-ssis number?
I guess I need to get some of the settlement money that Ive buried.
***
I dont want to get involved with a hunter named Kang Changho.
So after the car accident, when the other party contacted me to reach an agreement, I secretly blocked them.
I never thought the day would come when I would first contact him like this.
Hmm.
Of course, it was worth the sacrifice.
Eventually, the urgent fire was extinguished thanks to the settlement money that Kang Changho gave.
3 million won. It was at that moment that I got worried about whether the amount I gave in response to the perpetrators question about how much I wanted might seem strange or not.
I cant confirm whether the information I look into is correct or not.
This body is an alien that is still dark from the perspective of Earth.
First of all, I dont think there will be any issues because I avoided excessive greed by referring to the traffic accident compensation found on the Internet.
The price is very high, even though its only been late for three months.
I paid my last utility bill and checked my bank account balance. There wasnt much money left. After paying off my debt, I was immediately faced with a crisis of finances.
Damn it, I didnt know I would suddenly need this much money.
This wasnt something that could be done simply by earning money for food.
Isnt there a better way?
Ive been thinking intently about making money for a while.
First of all, there are very few creatures that can be killed with absorbents.
The Fire-bat I caught last time was just an unusual case. Its difficult to use this hunting method again.
So what on earth can an alien wizard who has lost his powers do?
-Tiri-ring Tiri-ring
What is it?
The cell phone rings in the quiet room at this moment.
I was extremely annoyed because I mistook it for another guild scout.
I have no plans to create a boss, no matter how much money I have.
[Ahn Yoonseung ]
However, an unexpected text appeared on the phone screen.
Aha! I was too busy to even say thank you. I guess he contacted me first because he was worried.
I reached out to take the call, but my fist clenched and my arm stopped in the air.
Wait a second.
A-Class Hunter Ahn Yoonseung.
Now that I think about it, they say that an A-Class hunter is a high-income profession that can earn tens to hundreds of millions of dollars just by attacking a gate?
.
At that moment, an idea passes through my mind.
To be honest, its half a scam, but Ahn Yoonseung himself probably doesnt hate it that much.
