The Mage Who Devours Disasters

Since I was little.

I had a stubborn personality.

— You are really stubborn, Kim Jeongseok.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

— You’re going to draw magic circles all over the world?

Because of that, I was often told that I was narrow-minded and inflexible.

If I became obsessed with something, I would see it through to the end.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

They didn’t join my plan.

Everyone was negative.

— Do you really think it’s worth mobilizing so many people for this?

— What the hell is the Philosopher’s Stone?

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

And everyone was too busy trying to survive.

Even so, after desperate persuasion.

It’s natural. academy I understand.

The world was being destroyed.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

And every one of them was extraordinary.

The number of people mobilized was 27,384.

For more than 10 years, I managed to draw a single magic circle in the world.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

— Our country is collapsing!

They were people who had reached the top in their respective fields.

— That’s enough, Jeongseok.

— How long are you going to cling to something so useless?

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

Monsters overflowing.

Days stained with screams and despair.

Endless disasters.

Amid all the criticism, I continued drawing the magic circle without hesitation.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

To destroy the tower.

Because those bastards who brought us to this also had to experience the same thing.

There was only one objective.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

That’s why.

We wanted them to clearly understand that if we died, they wouldn’t come out unscathed either.

Even if it meant tearing off their arms and legs, that would already be a victory.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Let’s all die together.’

I detonated the completed Philosopher’s Stone.

Irresistible was also destroyed.

The tower exploded along with the Earth.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

Ding!

I couldn’t help but laugh.

When everything returned to nothing.

A message appeared before my eyes.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

But something was strange.

Another window suddenly appeared.

Everything had ended with everyone’s death—what did titles or awakenings matter now?

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

Create a character?

I couldn’t understand it.

[Do you wish to create a character?]

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was a message that appeared after killing the Absolute God, Irresistible, and destroying the Earth.

Even so, it was necessary to investigate this phenomenon.

This isn’t a game, what the hell…?

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘I’ll create it.’

[‘The most powerful disaster’ has entered.]

I nodded, and another window appeared.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

【Light】【Darkness】

[The talents you can increase are the following:]

[Available Soul Points (SP): 100,000,000]

[You can increase ‘talents’ with SP.]

【Alchemy】【Divination】【Necromancy】

【Sorcery】【Taoism】【Dark Arts】【Illusion】【Spiritualism】

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

What is this?

…….

【Void】【Nothingness】【Space】【Shadow】

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

I understood it instinctively.

The talents that could be raised were practically unlimited.

‘The talents that are assigned to a character at the start of a game.’

The list had no end.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

It could be said it was like an RPG.

But.

In other words, I had to invest according to the direction I wanted to develop it.

I could define the character’s talents.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

It is undoubtedly an enormous amount.

Why?

Why did they give me 100 million points?

‘They gave me 100 million points. advance That means I can raise talents 100 million times.’

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

Irresistible.

Is it the reward for destroying a being absolutely impossible to kill?

‘Could it be because I destroyed Irresistible?’

That which cannot be resisted.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

As a mage, as a researcher, my instincts were screaming.

I cannot ignore this phenomenon.

‘…I don’t know what’s happening, but one thing is certain.’

A turning point.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

[1 SP is consumed in the talent 【Light】.]

[1 SP is consumed in the talent 【Light】.]

Maybe I could finally reach the truth I never achieved in my entire life.

I used SP to increase talents.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

[The maximum of 【Light】 is 10,000.]

…….

[It cannot be increased further.]

And I understood.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘The maximum value of a talent is 10,000. abandon That means…’

The problem is.

It means I can max out 10,000 talents.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

At most, there are about 1,000.

90 million SP remain.

Even if I raise them all, I only spend 10,000,000.

‘There aren’t 10,000 talents.’

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

I stroked my chin for a moment.

They are familiar to me.

‘…All the attributes, arts, and subcategories of magic.’

These classifications.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

What I tried to learn and abandoned.

There were even things I didn’t know.

All those categories that were too vast to even touch are here.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

[Incredible! meadow Astonishing!]

How much time passed.

But even so, everything only adds up to 10 million.

I moved my fingers quickly.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

[You have achieved the hidden piece ‘Unprecedented’.]

[All talents are at maximum!]

[The remaining Soul Points will be assigned randomly.]

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

…Wasn’t SP only for raising talents?

[Includes ‘non-assignable’ abilities such as racial values, innate limits, luck, charm, and charisma.]

It seems there are also additional talents that cannot be seen or raised by normal methods.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

[Logging into the land of the gods, ‘Asgard’.]

[Character creation complete.]

But I didn’t have time to think about it further.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

My vision flickered.

***

[You will be able to log out upon leveling up.]

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

…Where am I?

“The god of disaster is furious!”

“I-it’s a disaster!”

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

People in golden armor were running in all directions.

There was chaos.

“Everyone, run!”

And I.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

I was bound.

And also locked up.

‘Chains?’

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

It seemed I was being transported somewhere.

The problem was that those escorting us were too busy fleeing.

There were quite a few people like me around.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

“S-save me!”

“It’s the Typhoon of Massacre!”

“We’re all going to die!”

And above all.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

Rumble! beacon Boooooom!

They trembled, crying in despair.

The prisoners were shouting too.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

Just as its name indicated.

Devastating everything in its path.

A gigantic typhoon was approaching.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

It is my body, but it isn’t.

‘It’s similar, but different.’

I looked at my body.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

I could move it however I wanted, but it definitely was not Kim Jeongseok’s body.

Over 2 meters tall.

It was much larger and stronger.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

If I had a mirror, I could see it better.

But even with what little I could observe, I couldn’t define this body as Kim Jeongseok.

Even my hair was a bright golden color.

Firm muscles.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Why am I so calm?’

I don’t know where I am or what is happening.

It is strangely calm.

But one thing is certain.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

On the contrary, I accepted the situation faster than anyone.

Nor am I terrified like them.

I don’t feel confused at all.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

I clearly saw the message that said the character was created and that I logged in there.

The land of the gods, Asgard.

‘Asgard.’

This place right now is.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

So, am I inside a game?

‘It’s too real to be a game.’

In other words, this body is the character I created.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

That it is not a game.

All my senses said it.

The sense of reality is overwhelming.

That it is reality.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

Those who were fleeing while shouting said it in unison.

That the god of disaster was furious.

‘A god of disaster. agent The Typhoon of Massacre.’

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

I know that typhoon.

They even gave that typhoon a name.

No, that’s not it.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

But it’s strange.

One of the powers used by one of the strongest gods who ruled the tower.

…I’m sure I’ve seen one just like it.

A long time ago. riddle In a distant past.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘We always wondered where those who built the tower on Earth came from.’

Are the gods of disaster still alive?

Soon, I faced a truth.

We brought down the tower and destroyed Irresistible.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘…So this Asgard is the land of those bastards.’

Asgard, the land of the gods!

I nodded as soon as I understood.

Just as its name indicates, this is the
‘home’ where they lived.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

Crack!

I stood up.

And then.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

Creeeak!

I applied force and broke the chains.

I bent the iron bars with both hands.
Strength overflowed. altitude I feel like I can do anything.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

If it is that character whose talents I pushed to the limit.

And if all the messages I saw are true—

If this is the character I created.

‘Status.’

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

Strength: 50 Vitality: 50 Agility: 50

Level: 1

Class: Devourer of Disasters

Ding!

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

Just as I expected.

No, it was even more than I imagined.

Titles: Killer of the Absolute God, Supreme Disaster, Omnipotent

Intelligence: 50 Mana: 50

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘A monster.’

Literally.

The maximum value a human can have at level 1 is, at most, 10.

And it’s not even possible to have all attributes at 10.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

But this guy.

Moreover.

From the start, he has all attributes at 50.

Considering that the normal maximum level is 10, it’s an absurd figure.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Right now I am in a logged-in state.’

That means this is not my real body.

In the avatar I created.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

And if reality for me is…

Log out and return to reality.

‘They said I need to level up to log out. auction If I log out, will I return to reality?’

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

Will I return to my body, Kim Jeongseok’s?

It can only be Earth.

I opened the palm of my right hand.

‘…Can I return to Earth?’

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

More precisely, since that typhoon appeared.

For a while now, I had been feeling something strange in my hand.

‘A golden rune.’

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Devourer of Disasters.’

It seems the cause was this golden rune.

I understood this naturally as well.

The glowing letters react to the typhoon.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

Someone who seeks the truth and approaches the laws of the world.

Logically, the best course would be to run away right now.

I am a mage.

By seeing something, I can understand its essence.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Let’s do it.’

But.

I am the crazy mage who tried to destroy the Earth and the tower at the same time.

After all, I already died once.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

The prisoners shouted.

“I-is that guy insane?”

“He’s approaching the Typhoon of Massacre!”

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

And the moment the typhoon devoured me—

Just as they said, I was walking toward the typhoon.

The golden rune in my palm reacted.

Woooooosh—

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was absorbed.

And then.

Suuuuuu—

As if I devoured it.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

The world fell silent.

“That can’t be!”

“…T-the typhoon disappeared?”

Shortly after.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

[You can use the ‘Typhoon of Massacre’.]

[You have devoured the ‘Typhoon of Massacre’.]

An extremely simple message.

But it didn’t end there.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

Boom!

Suddenly, the sky turned black.

Krrrrrrr—

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

At the same time, a dark lightning bolt struck in front of me.

A man appeared.

“…Interesting.”

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘A god of disaster.’

I knew it the moment I saw him.

The god who had sent that typhoon.

This guy is—

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

And moreover.

My instincts screamed desperately.

‘I can’t defeat him.’

I have to run.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

But I can’t run.

Then the man spoke.

If I turn my back, he will kill me.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

He was expecting an answer.

A child of god?

“Are you a child of god?”

I thought about it for a moment.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘A mediocre performance won’t work.’

He was probably doubtful because of what I had just done.

Should I act arrogantly or pretend to submit?

The opponent is a god.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I completed my full military service and was discharged.”

And not just any god, but a god of disaster.

“……?”

It’s better to show myself as I am.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…It’s a joke. apple What do you mean, child of god?”

“What a ridiculous guy. august To dare joke in front of me.”

Ah. adapt Was that not what he meant?

The man replied, as if he couldn’t believe it.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

Since he appeared, the world had gone silent.

Certainly.

Not even the breathing of those behind could be heard.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

Everyone was paralyzed with fear.

It wasn’t strange that he found it curious.

The man shook his head once and spoke.

Only I stood before him.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Go to the tower. galaxy If you really are a child of god, you must go through the process of becoming a god in the tower.”

“Don’t you know? harbor The Tower of the Gods. arcade The tower where beings like us can become true gods.”

“……?”

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Your insolence has been reaching the heavens for a while now. acquire Do you want to die?”

“And how am I supposed to find you if I don’t know your name?”

“Judging by the fact that you eliminated my typhoon, you have quite a bit of talent. amateur When you climb the tower, come find me.”

The man shrugged.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

I didn’t feel fear at all.

But I didn’t look away.

The wind rose again around us.

Swooooosh—

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

Not in the slightest.

This body does not fear a god of disaster.

Everything was calm. avalanche Even my heart.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

My experience and mental strength remain intact.

And besides, I have already seen the end.

“…You.”

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

After I didn’t avert my gaze for so long, the man shone with interest.

He smiled faintly and continued.

“I like you.”

“I am the god of the typhoon and the ruler of all things. acoustic Heimdall.”

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

…Wait.

Heimdall, the god of the typhoon?

“……”

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

I know that name.

And one of those at the top.

He was one of the gods of disaster that existed in the tower.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

So the other gods are still alive?

Only I knew their names.

‘In the ancient book that contained the method to create the Philosopher’s Stone, the names of the gods of disaster were also written.’

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

“What happened to the Earth? amber Was it destroyed?”

“Hmm? atlas It’s still intact. orbit It’s probably in the protection period.”

I asked desperately.

Did they really receive no damage?

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

The gods who invaded Earth.

Intact?

…Even in the protection period?

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

Then.

Especially, they called the first year the protection period, during which they gradually awakened humanity.

They didn’t destroy it immediately.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Could it be…?’

Have I gone back in time?

A possibility crossed my mind.

‘Regression?’

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

Why did I start by creating a character in Asgard?

‘It seems I have to log out to understand everything.’

If I regressed, why didn’t I return to Kim Jeongseok’s body?

But something is still strange.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

And asked my final question.

“Then, is Irresistible also in the Tower of the Gods?”

I took a deep breath.

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

Heimdall frowned.

He, who had remained calm despite my insolent attitude, spoke with a heavy tone he hadn’t shown before.

The moment I mentioned that name—

Content of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…How is it that you know the name of that entity?”
