“Mmm”
A moan escaped me involuntarily.
He frowned and tried to stand up.
I could feel my muscles twitch and tighten, but my body showed no sign of getting up.
Frustrated with my body not moving properly as if it had hardened, I opened my eyes only then.
“ah… head… … .”
What was the problem, my head was pounding and aching.
He rubbed his forehead with his heavy hand, as if soaked in water in a sponge.
stiff or movable hands.
The bitterness of speed is similar to a hangover.
‘Have I been drinking?’
I didn’t even drink last night and came back fine and read a book.
Why is my body doing this even though I haven’t even had a drink?
“No, that’s not the problem… .”
I blankly looked around.
But something was strange.
It was not a familiar one-room scene.
The ceiling of the studio I live in is not that high.
My body sensations gradually returned and I was able to raise my upper body.
A thick blanket gently sweeps down the body.
Was it because of the blanket that made my heart feel tight?
It didn’t matter now.
In a place I had never been to before, I was seeing scenery I had never seen before.
The room is like a living room.
‘The set… ?’
It was so well decorated that it looked like a set for a movie.
Antique furniture and shiny decorations disturbed the eyes.
“What is it really?”
I was definitely reading a book in the studio, but when I woke up, it was here.
is it a dream
No, it’s absolutely not a dream.
The sensations felt throughout the body were too vivid to be called a dream.
The feeling of the blanket and clothes brushing against my skin was clear.
Is this a dream?
It is impossible.
My next thought was a hidden camera? thought to do.
But that didn’t even make sense.
I didn’t have anyone to fool me by doing this.
‘What are you doing doing a hidden camera against me? It costs money.’
So what is it really?
Confusing.
The big room had all kinds of stuff.
There are so many desks, books, wardrobes, and what kind of doors.
There are as many as three doors.
‘I don’t even know where the door leads.’
I got out of bed and walked to the desk on the other side of the room.
I was wondering if there was anything I could get information on.
A note the size of a palm and a pen were placed on it.
I unfolded it carefully.
The shape was a little different, but it was something I always used, so I was used to it.
The moment I was about to read something.
smart.
There was a knock on the door.
“Brother, this is Elise. may I come in?”
“Uh, uh. come in.”
His body stiffened, but his mouth moved on its own to answer.
I was taken aback by the self-indulgent answer, but I tried to manage my expression.
Click.
The door opened with a small sound.
Along with him, a woman dressed as a maid appeared.
“… … .”
shut up
The room had an old-fashioned feel, but I didn’t expect that a woman dressed as a maid would appear.
She looked at me and said slightly surprised.
“You woke up early today for some reason. young master.”
“uh… what.”
It was my first time experiencing something like this, so I shook my head awkwardly.
It’s bound to be awkward.
I’ve had many experiences in my life, but this was the first time.
After losing consciousness while reading a novel, when I open my eyes again, I am in a space I have never seen before… … was not a situation that made sense in the first place.
there… A situation where even a woman dressed as a maid is standing in front of her.
It was only natural that the confusion would increase.
“Are you feeling unwell?”
“uh? no. It’s fine.”
Shaking his head, he replied.
Maybe it was because I was embarrassed, but every time I answered, I ended up adding ‘uh’ without even realizing it.
“You don’t look good… Are you really okay? I wonder if you drank too much last night… .”
“It’s fine. than that.”
“Yes?”
I tried to ask why he came, but he kept his mouth shut.
I think it would be strange to ask that somehow.
“Nothing.”
I shook my head and acted like nothing happened.
Because one of the things I do best is acting.
As she acted, she carefully inspected the maid in front of her.
pretty is so pretty
But what did you say your name was?
‘Was it Alice?’
Something was familiar with the name.
Is it because it’s the name of a famous fairy tale character?
Then I suddenly realized that it was the same as the name of the extra in the novel ‘The Ruler of Talent’ that I received from a fan.
Extra Ellis. To be precise, it was just a passing role.
Until the beginning of the novel, there is one character who obstructs the main character’s path by giving him a suitable sweet potato so that he can show him a cider.
Raymond Millennium.
The crazy son of the famous magical family, Count Millennium.
Raymond, who was acting as usual, meets the main character and loses his life.
While dedicating cider and the talent he possessed to the main character.
‘Ellis… .’
She was the lady-in-waiting of that guy named Raymond.
It was clearly imprinted in my head, whether it was because I had read each word thoroughly, or because it was the scene where the main character commits a murder for the first time.
“First of all, we will help you recover. young master.”
Without saying a word to Elise’s voice, I straightened up.
Alice showed three clothes in front of me and said.
“What kind of clothes… .”
Out of 3 clothes, I picked one right away.
I thought it would get awkward if I dragged out time.
“With this.”
I don’t know why, but the choice of clothes was natural.
Like taking for granted what you always do.
“Good choice. As expected, Master Raymond… .”
At Elise’s words, my body jolted and stopped.
I couldn’t even hear the content.
My brain literally stopped.
He swallowed and opened his mouth with trembling lips.
“Ellis.”
“Yes, Bocchan.”
“What did you just say… .”
“Yes? As expected, Master Raymond said that he has an eye for choosing clothes.”
I couldn’t hear anything else, except the name Raymond.
Oh my God.
I closed my eyes tightly.
Nonsensical hypotheses popped into my head and then disappeared.
But why?
those absurd hypotheses.
‘I think it makes sense.’
It seemed that something big had happened.
***
It took ten days.
Until I admit that I have entered the novel, ‘The Ruler of Talent’.
At first, I denied it, saying it was nonsense, but after living as ‘Raymond Millennium’ instead of ‘Lee Seong-hyeok’ for 10 days, I came to accept it.
The life of Raymond Millennium is getting used to little by little, and the name Lee Seong-hyuk has faded.
Ten days was enough time to recognize that I had entered a novel.
In addition, it was time to decide a certain degree of direction.
smart.
“young master.”
“come in.”
Along with a knock on the door, he immediately responded to Elise’s voice.
At first it was very awkward and it seemed crazy, but now I’ve gotten used to it a lot.
To be precise, I got used to ‘playing’ Raymond Millennium.
Click.
Alice entered the room accustomedly.
Before she could say anything, she chose the most comfortable of the three outfits she brought with her.
I think the most difficult thing in life as Raymond is clothes.
Most of the clothes were decorated with accessories and were so flashy that it was difficult for me, who was used to modern clothes, to wear them.
“Today this.”
“Yes.”
Elise gave a light reply without saying anything and helped her to recover.
“Ellis.”
“Yes, Bocchan.”
“How are the rumors these days?”
For ten days, I did my best to figure out the situation.
I lived my life for ten days, comparing how similar this place was to the novel I read and whether there were any differences.
And that’s the conclusion.
‘Exactly the same.’
In the novel, Raymond Millennium was an incompetent idiot.
His mother died when he was young, and he is shocked by it and goes on a rampage denying the reality he realized while growing up.
“… It remains.”
“yes?”
“But, I feel… The young master has changed a little.”
“It has changed. many.”
I answered, interrupting Ellis.
She was silent for a moment.
After completing her recovery, Elise took a step back and opened her mouth.
“You have definitely changed. The head of the household and the other tower owners will feel the same way if they see the young master.”
“Still, I still don’t have the slightest talent for magic.”
Ellis flinched at the casually thrown words and did not respond.
The Millennium family was one of the four families that supported the Mage Tower.
In other words, it is a famous magician.
And Raymond, the only son of such a Millennium family, has no talent for magic.
age of 17.
Raymond was still at the level of the 1st circle at an age when most of the children of the other 3 famous magic families had reached the 3rd circle.
“That’s not the Bocchan’s fault.”
“… let’s go. Today is ‘that day’.”
I scratched my cheek at her words to comfort me.
Once a month, there is a class that brings together students from the 1st and 2nd circles.
A class with the same concept as a special lecture that teaches the basics of magic.
It was a job that was being implemented at the Mage Tower level because it was of great help to apprentice wizards in the 1st and 2nd circles.
“Are you going straight to the Magic Tower?”
“yes. I’m going alone, so look at work.”
“Yes. young master. Then I will guide you to the gate.”
Alice accepted my order without hesitation.
Over the past ten days, I’ve done everything through Alistol.
It was strange from the beginning, so no one found it very strange that I didn’t go out.
‘I wonder if it’s okay.’
I was a little nervous because it was my first time going to the Magic Tower since coming here and meeting other people.
It was also because there was almost no description in the novel.
‘The Ruler of Talent’ revolves around the main character, and it has never shown the lives of extras.
I followed Elise, who was walking with a clatter, and moved on.
The gate was a passage connected to the magic tower.
A device that makes it possible to travel a distance that would take dozens of days in seconds.
As a famous magician, of course, there was a gate installed in the family.
“There are passengers.”
Elise spotted two apprentice wizards standing in front of the gate and said,
Apprentice wizards raised by the Millennium family.
They are now in the 2nd circle.
“hello.”
“Aww, it’s been a while. Master Raymond.”
The apprentice wizards smiled and greeted them.
It was never a good laugh.
“I think the young master is also attending this class.”
“… … .”
“You’ve been attending for nearly 10 years already… I hope you gain enlightenment this time and rise to the 2nd circle.”
The two apprentice wizards pretended to be for me, giggling while saying that.
Clearly ignoring me, it was nothing more than words meant to demean me.
If it was the original Raymond, he would not have been able to answer anything.
He would have just vented his anger at the maids and attendants later.
‘Look at these bastards?’
However, I had no intention of just being ignored.
After coming here for 10 days, I decided on the direction of how I should live.
I never intended to be a worthless idiot.
Mannani also has a class.
I’m going to live my life as an idiot, it’s better to be a proper idiot.
And in order to do that, you can’t stay still in this situation right now.
I took a deep breath.
[‘The Unknown God”s eyes twinkle in anticipation of your talents blooming.]
He closed his eyes and then opened them and opened his mouth.
“Are these crazy people?”
Saying that, he raised his eyebrows.
Now it’s time to ‘play’ the real nerd.
