Have a Meal Before You Go

The magician of Gangbuk.

A pamphlet, similar to that sold by the Awakening Society. A few pages, but you could tell the extent of the Guardian's profile.

Let me see.

Chulho opened the book and examined his information.

Limit is clearly a familiar name. And no matter how old he is, he looks familiar.

He looked through his face and looked at a brief summary of his profile.

The book lists the guardian's accomplishments and the progress of his growth. It was a pamphlet on the part of the Society to inspire the public to trust and hope for its guardians, a mixture of proper fiction and truth.

After studying the book for a while, Chulho realized an old memory that suddenly came to his mind.

‘Ah, that city. ’

An old friend.

A very old friend from elementary school.

It's been a long time.

Time has changed his appearance and atmosphere a lot.

But that's what it looks like. There are still unique eyes.

“....... ”

The man who used to dream of being a magician. Now you're really a magician.

However, Chulho only stared at the air with a calm mind.

Actually, I was thinking about it.

Chulho lived in this world until 30 years ago.

If I lived 30 years in this world, I lived 30 years on this side.

I had friends, I had a family, I had lived with many relationships.

Times changed, and many died and disappeared.

Then, the heart became faint. But I never thought I'd see an old friend like this.

He had a thankful heart.

Cheolho was about thirty years old, but in fact he was over the age of thirty.

Because of this, my elementary school memories are now perfectly intangible. Friends' names, teachers' names, peninsulas.

However, the feelings at that point remained consistent.

Boyhood.

Thank you, sad and joyful.

By the way.

This guy, he's changed a lot, hasn't he?

.

Gangbuk.

A restructured urban area centered near Mia Station in the past. The scale is comparable to the old Gangbuk.

There was a big market in front of Mia station, and there was a festival on the weekends.

Different locations have different atmospheres depending on the guardian's disposition.

One of the most unique dogs was the Gangbuk River. The harder the world gets, the more we laugh, because it is the city of the motto's guardian.

On weekend nights, it's the North River. There is a saying.

Today's festival was a once a month magic show. In the square, people gathered like clouds.

A magician with a strange mask spread out his hand, and the pigeons burst out, embroidering everything around him. As I lifted the silk hat, there were fireworks pouring out from it, creating a colorful light in the world.

The magician spread out his hands and sprayed a bunch of cards into the air. Cards swooped through the crowd as if they were alive. And I put it in people's pockets.

I heard a sneaky smile.

The magic was spectacular.

There's plenty to see.

Actually, it was more magic than magic. But it was enough for people.

People wanted to forget the moment by watching a strange sight rather than the magic itself.

A faint flame embroidered the sky and cheerful music resounded everywhere. I could see people smiling.

The magician laughs bitterly under the mask.

Bam!

An explosion erupts in the midst of a dazzling flame and the magician's appearance disappears.

Waaaahhhh!

People shouted.

* * *

“Well done.”

“Yes."

After the stage, the missing magician takes off his mask. Inside the mask was an old man with a hot white beard.

The white hair was cut clean and well organized. It was like a local grandfather.

The waiting magicians bowed in reverence.

The old man nods with a merciful smile. He always opens his mouth in his matte fur, wearing his dark-lustre coat.

“I'll go first. ”

People gave examples until the old man left the stage and mixed up with the crowd and disappeared.

He is the Protector of the North. A beloved guardian, one with the respect of the city.

Lim Kyung walked between the crowds. People recognized him, suggested a handshake, and greeted him. He leaves the crowd with a good smile on his face.

Suddenly, his impression frowned slightly.

Gate?

The festival began to split open on the other side of the city. On the roof of a building, to be exact.

Recently, it has increased. A gate is created.

The limit has moved quickly. And I tapped the clock.

[Reminder]

The watch flashed as a notification message popped up. They must have alerted Limitless's team. He opens his mouth with his watch.

“Located on the rooftop of the Neutral Building, just outside Mia Station. ”

We're gonna need a quick clearance around here. Incorrect results in major damage.

He reaches for the air. The handkerchief blew into the air! You fly and bang! You make a staff with it exploding.

At the same time, black and white bicycle cards spread out over the cane.

[Spade A]

One of them picked up and lifted the body of the limit into the air.

Support - Boo - Woo!

In the meantime, the gaps in the dimensions that were completed became a circular gate with a burst of white energy.

Borderline - floating through the gates, floating through the air! I'm in.

He enters the gate, slightly bewildered.

This type of dungeon has never been born.

The sky was bathed in golden light. A golden wave leaks from the cracked sky and falls to the ground.

Kirik Kirik-

And the landscape is everywhere. Hook! Changed.

It appeared to be a ruin, but the slowly rising monsters looked very strange.

“Machines…… ”

Lim Kyung spilled his moaning.

It was the machines that stood up one by one on the floor and made the machine ring.

The form is very simple and grotesque.

from square boxes with mechanical arms and legs to half-broken humanoid machines dragging the floor.

The eyes of Lord Lim were filled with cold.

‘This is an anomaly. ’

First things first.

Clear.

The sweetness of the limit swelled up a lot. He raises his staff into the air.

Aaaaah!

A whole bunch of cards spread out and turned around, flashing a silver circle. Two of them were drawn.

[Joker]

Two black and white jokers. At the same time, both eyes of the limit glowed.

Aaaaahhhh!

Radiance erupts and devastates the interior of the dungeon.

When the light disappears, all the monsters around you fall down.

“Hmm.......”

The dungeon level is very low. The thing is, they're monsters I've never seen before. It complicates the mind of the limit.

Shah Shah - Shom!

Soon, members of Lord Lim's team enter through the gate. They seemed surprised, too.

“This, this.......”

That won't be the end.

Dungeons involve boss-grade monsters.

Ku-ung!

Soon, on the other side of the dungeon, a heavy body mechanical leaf doll appeared.

“Relax, it's a new monster. ”

The team member moves erratically. In the lead, the boundary reappeared.

.

“Collect the body of the monster. ”

Lim said in a calm tone.

The boss class monsters have been dealt with cleanly. Approximately 5 classes of weight perception. There were no sacrifices, because it was a monster that didn't need to be sad.

However.

“This kind of monster has never appeared before. I guess I'll have to call the corpse disposal squad of the Association. I'm going to get a little body, and I'm going to go to the Association first. ”

“Yes! Well done! ”

“Well done!”

The team salutes.

“I've had a hard time. ”

Lim finished speaking and left the gate.

Shah Shah-!

When I stepped outside the gate, I was on top of a tall building.

I can see it from down there.

He looks down at those who are crowded and cheering.

You put your fingers together to form a circle. People came in the circle as they were. He repairs his savory robe and takes it off and brings it to his abdomen.

He leaned down and quietly greeted her.

Rest assured, everyone.

I soon smiled deeply.

He is the Guardian, the Wizard of Gangnam North.

* * *

“Hmm.”

The gearwalk was under a new strain.

Just this morning, it was the remains of monsters who had been transported in secret by Lord Lim, the Guardian of the North.

What kind of monsters are they? I expected it to be true, but I didn't know it was a machine.

“Let's see. ”

Gearwalk examines the remains of the monsters thoroughly. A metal in its entirety. Looking at the fragments, it was sure to lead to reel.

Leaf puppets?

No, it's not.

The limits of moving by the reed alone were clear. If so, there should be a power source that drives this reel. Gearwalk carefully examines the trunk of the box-shaped monster.

I opened the seam of my torso with a sharp tool made of stone tablets.

Kyurik-

The lid of the box opened and there was a machine reel sound. The gearwalk that looked inside opened its eyes wide.

Is it that simple? ’

Various reel lobes are connected, like clockwork. In the middle of the junction, there is a single stone with only a fingernail.

‘The power plant is a stallion.......’

It is estimated that the grade of the table is approximately 8 to 9. A reel doll of this structure can also be made in modern times. But he's a monster?

Then there could be more monsters!

Gearwalk jumps up and down.

“Magician, you said you found a monster in a new dungeon? ”

“Yes, it is. ”

“Was there no boss class? ”

“It's so big, I contacted the association. I think it's going to be transported by an association. ”

“Ah!”

In front of such a gearwalk was a magician sitting on a cane.

The gearwalk couldn't help but smile.

“Thank you so much for your report. ”

“Glad I could help. ”

“Just a moment, sir? ”

The magician nods and laughs.

“Sure.”

The gearwalk quickly got to the top of the factory.

In his mind, a few days ago, 'Undertaker’ reported something.

- Dimensional, connected to the breach. The world. One. No, it's not.

- The world. Diverse. World. It's made up of hooks. There is.

- Increasingly. to the world. I would expect.

- Not yet. Understanding the world. Impossible.

Gearwalk pulled apart the parts that support the power source from the monster's 'cadaver’ and presented them to the researcher.

“Do you have a foreman engineer? ”

“Im-ho, I'm going to work this afternoon. ”

“If you come, please tell me you will have the material identified and the horsepower test immediately. ”

I handed out the parts to the researcher and immediately called the headquarters. Reports were made quickly.

Gearwalk's chest thumped.

During this time, the development of the 'Auger’ was challenging because of materials that could not withstand the magical power of the powered seat mounted to raise the output.

I felt like I had found that clue.

Suddenly, I realized my gratitude for the magician. He took a long walk.

Gearwalk runs back to the magician.

“Sir, have you eaten? ”

The End
