Reincarnation of the Warrior Party Archmage chapter 1



Prologue.

The year I turned thirteen, a hero came to visit me at the Magic Tower. She was a beauty with white hair and golden eyes.

“He has a reputation as a genius wizard of the century, but was he such a cute kid?”

At that time, I remember that I was silently sorting books.

“excuse me… … ?”

“… … .”

“hey… … ?”

I didn’t intend to ignore it on purpose, but I had a lot to think about.

“I am neither a genius nor a kid. My name is Rin.”

Feeling a little sorry for her, I put the book in the library and answered, her face brightened and she followed me around like a puppy for a long time.

“lie! A four-star wizard at the age of thirteen? I heard there is no precedent in the history of the empire?”

“… … .”

“And since he is so short, he must be a kid, what! Why are you treating me like an adult? But I guess I’m still old enough to change a diaper? Come to our party, I’ll change it every day!”

Then, he covers his mouth and laughs. So I spread my palms and calculated the magic.

“Fireball.”

“Ouch, sorry, sorry! It was a joke!”

she was a funny woman A person like this is a hero, the end of the world. no, you really mean it

I remember laughing out loud.

I just laughed a little, but strangely, she smiled several times brighter than me.

“You’re smiling now… … ?”

I got interested then.

There are all these bizarre people, I’ve never really been interested in people.

“I am Lista Alter Surpin. I am the FakeWarrior of the Gwangryong Orthodox Church.”

He said that summer has begun in the world now, and Abyss has spread in Antarctica, so he needs my help.

It was a so-called warrior party.

There were two more celebrities.

It was Keyes, one of the Yellow River Secretariat of the Holy Human Empire, and Friede, a priestess of the Fire Dragon, belonging to the Republic of Yongin.

“I don’t want to die.”

“No one wants to die.”

“Are the other two fun like Lista?”

Then, Rista put her finger on her cheek and wanted to think about it, but gave a strange answer.

“They’re both idiots comparable to me, but… … But there are more fun things.”

“What?”

When I showed interest in it, Lista smiled like a girl telling her puberty secrets.

“World.”

world.

Since being picked up by the dean in the slums, the language came to me as a strange echo to me, who had lived in the mage tower ever since.

I joined the party like that.

Keyes was a mute archer whose accuracy dropped to the extreme if he didn’t drink, and Friede was a shaman and a heavy smoker, so he smoked whenever he had a chance.

“Your name is Fire Dragon Shaman, but you shouldn’t be able to breathe at least.”

It was a crazy woman who was blowing black smoke in my face and giggling. Still, both of them were sure about their skills, so we did well.

5 years, 5 years of fighting.

Between journeys, Lista always joked with me and said,

“Rin, you must never fall for me?”

“Rin, when it’s all over, why don’t you go on a trip with me?”

“Rin is so naive, I’m afraid she’ll be tricked by another woman later.”

5 years like that… … .

Now, with the final battle ahead, I am dying, consumed by the dark poison that erodes my soul.

The remaining life is… … Not much.

“Rin, wake up, Rin! please… … Friede, what are you doing!”

“Lista, the poison is too strong.”

Friede shed tears.

“Even I can’t do it… … This… … might die… … .”

“Who doesn’t die, who dies!”

“I don’t want to die… … .”

“I know, I will never let you die. Be patient.”

Coughing up the congestion, I pulled up my jacket with my hand, which was turning black, and showed my chest.

Juyeosogyedaeban.

In the middle of my heart, the scribe of immortality magic, which I had compiled over four years of research, was engraved.

“no… … So, before the magic… … I made… … .”

It was a magic that completely freezes the body, puts it into a forced dormancy state, and then cures the body through healing amplification spells and holy phrases.

That is, according to my calculations.

Of course I don’t know how long that will take. It may lie dormant for the rest of its life. But isn’t it a situation where you have no choice but to do it?

“Because I will come back… … be sure to win… … .”

There is only a fleeting moment left in life.

When I activated the magic before it was too late, my body was covered with ice, starting from my toes.

Rista, whose face was covered in tears, grabbed my hand tightly.

“You promised, Rin. to meet again Did you promise to come back?”

Lista was pretty when she smiled. But looking at it now, I think I look prettier when I cry.

“Like that time, the four of us together… … let’s go see the world got it… … ? I will wait by your side until you wake up.”

The ice, the chill of death gradually climbed up the body. Shin, thigh, pelvis, back, neck… … .

I smiled helplessly.

Just like when I first met Lista at the Magic Tower.

“Yes, promise.”

And consciousness plunged into the bitter cold. A sense of floating and futility as if sinking into a lukewarm swamp… … .

There is a strange lingering lingering feeling in death.

Did you want to see the end of the truth in the grand 7-star magic system of the empire? While traveling this big and wide world with the party members… … .

darkness.

darkness.

darkness.

darkness.

As I was struggling in the dark, my eyelids suddenly lifted.

warm sunlight.

and a refreshing spring breeze.

The energy of life warmly and gently caresses the whole body.

“Rain, are you okay?”

I blinked blankly, but my mother grabbed my shoulder. A feeling of incongruity arose at the thought that instinctively passed through my head.

mother?

mother to me… … ?

I was an orphan

The golden plaza dazzled the awards ceremony. I couldn’t hear the southern heat that burned my whole body and the muddy cries of the abyss.

Where are you… … ?

Deep in his mind, the memories of Rin, who died at eighteen, and the memories of nine, Lane, were jumbled together.

“here is… … .”

“Isn’t it the Hero Square of the Emperor’s Office? The statue here was erected to commemorate the Lista party. Why don’t you like it?”

I quietly looked up at the statue that had been weathered for eons. It was a face everyone knew.

Hero, Lista.

Archer, Keith.

Mister, Friede.

and me… … Lin.

From the depths of his chest, the pain defined as grief surged up. An epitaph was majestically engraved on the pedestal, telling the story of the eternal flow of time.

[Rista: 1082 ~ 1116]

[Kies : 1076 ~ 1154]

[Friede: 1079 ~ 1168]

[Lin: 1090 ~ 1107]

They all died… … ?

Since the lifespan of Paquorea, whose power was augmented by human body modification, was originally short, Lista’s death was expected.

I was trying to pass it on.

“Mother, how old are you?”

“Hey guy, why are you so formal all of a sudden? Don’t do it, it’s scary.”

“What year is it?”

“Isn’t it 1418 on the Tersian calendar?”

It’s 1418… … ?

To put it quickly, it seemed that I had reawakened from an era that was about 300 years away from Rin’s time.

Was it a new birth, or was it a memory that was overlaid… … .

It felt like an indescribable nightmare. An era that was 300 years away from Lista’s laughter, Keith’s drunkenness, and Friede’s cigarette smoke.

“Did you win?”

It was a pointless question.

Since they won, a statue must have been erected, so it must be that the peaceful sky is spreading like this.

“Do you see the tower of the Imperial Palace? They say that the body of Archmage Lin is still there. It’s completely frozen and it says it’s the way it used to be.”

“is it so?”

“And they say that Lista-nim stayed by her side until the day she died. Isn’t it a really beautiful and sad relationship?”

It was funny.

To me, the decisive battle happened just a moment ago, since it seems like telling a legend from hundreds of years ago.

“Why are you laughing? It’s a sad story.”

“just… … I thought you really kept your promise.”

You just promised you would, but you hold onto my right hand, and I can still feel it… … .

“lane?”

My mother tilted her head, as if she didn’t know what I was talking about.

“But someone couldn’t keep their promise.”

I muttered as if spitting out and caressed the pedestal’s scream, while hot water streams ran down both cheeks. Silent, powerless.

“I couldn’t keep… … .”

* * *

As the three people wrote about me, I was a great person in history.

Elemental Master.

The price of multiple operations.

I received a plaque of appreciation along with a huge prize money from the emperor of the Holy Human Empire, and many magic towers and madosega described me like a saint.

It was an insignificant nickname, the 11th Great Wizard.

During the long 300 years, there was only one other archmage who reached 5 stars following me, and the position is currently vacant.

‘Now, really, there’s nothing left.’

I think blankly.

All I have left is magic.

The memories of traveling to many places and the bright smiles of colleagues in those memories have become legends of old stories, not memories.

Memories are memories when you can share them with someone, Lista used to tell me.

Therefore, the memories I have are not memories.

until the day you die.

It must be an echo without an answer that you have to carry on alone.

‘I remember feeling sorry for the achievement of magic before I died.’

The Holy Human Empire has systematized vast amounts of magic into the ‘Empire 7-Star Magic System’.

A 1-star normal wizard, Bandoran.

2-star middle school mage, limites.

A 3-star high-ranking mage, Atlas.

A 4-star wizard of the highest order, Glados.

A 5-star archmage, Aquizard.

What I have reached is the state of the 5th star, from the 6th star it is called the sage, and it is the cutting edge of truth that only two people have reached in the history of the empire.

‘If I hadn’t followed Lista, by the time I died of old age, I might have risen to the ranks of the 6 stars.’

But I must have regretted it.

Even if I could turn back time, I would go on a journey after her again and again.

‘But now there is no Rista… … .’

Then let’s make the dreams we couldn’t achieve in the previous life come true in this life.

‘In this life, I will see the truth.’

It is said that those who have reached the end of magic, the truth, can see through all the realities of the world.

– I hope this world is full of laughter.

From noble mtl dot com

Rista said so.

Let’s take a look with the eyes of truth to see if the world we desperately defended together will be what it is now.

So let’s do our best.

Let me whip myself so that I can forget this stinging grief and futility.

before leaving the square.

I looked up at the statue for the last time, slowly closed my eyes, and thought of the unanswered echo.

– Lin, this way! Look at this flower!

Lista.

and Friede.

– The flower garden is too romantic for an unattractive kid like Rin to see.

Since he couldn’t speak, Keith always expressed his emotions by stroking my hair.

– It’s better to read one more magic book when you have time to look at this. What’s good about this… … .

And I always grumbled.

I always bounced like that, but actually, I think the trip with you guys… … It was so much fun.

“Lista, Keith, Friede.”

I silently savored the name, prayed for my voice to reach their souls, and said my final goodbyes.

“Now, bye… … .”

The dead only stay in the past.

Since the living cannot go against the flow of time, they must move forward into the future.

I persuaded my footsteps, which couldn’t come off, like that.

My second life started like that.
