Chapter 2

I had a stubborn personality.

— You are really stubborn, Kim Jeongseok.

Since I was little.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

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

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

— What the hell is the Philosopher’s Stone?

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

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

They didn’t join my plan.

Everyone was negative.

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

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

It’s natural. august I understand.

And everyone was too busy trying to survive.

The world was being destroyed.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

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

The number of people mobilized was 27,384.

And every one of them was extraordinary.

Even so, after desperate persuasion.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

— Our country is collapsing!

— That’s enough, Jeongseok.

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

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

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

Days stained with screams and despair.

Monsters overflowing.

Endless disasters.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

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

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

There was only one objective.

To destroy the tower.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

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

That’s why.

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

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

‘Let’s all die together.’

The tower exploded along with the Earth.

I detonated the completed Philosopher’s Stone.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

Ding!

When everything returned to nothing.

Irresistible was also destroyed.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

I couldn’t help but laugh.

A message appeared before my eyes.

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

But something was strange.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

Create a character?

[Do you wish to create a character?]

Another window suddenly appeared.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

I couldn’t understand it.

Even so, it was necessary to investigate this phenomenon.

This isn’t a game, what the hell…?

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

I nodded, and another window appeared.

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

‘I’ll create it.’

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

[‘The most powerful disaster’ has entered.]

[The talents you can increase are the following:]

[You can increase ‘talents’ with SP.]

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

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

【Light】【Darkness】

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

【Fire】【Water】【Earth】【Wind】【Air】

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

…….

【Spiritualism】【Summoning】【Creation】

【Alchemy】【Divination】【Necromancy】

【Void】【Nothingness】【Space】【Shadow】

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

The talents that could be raised were practically unlimited.

The list had no end.

What is this?

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

It could be said it was like an RPG.

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

I understood it instinctively. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

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

But.

I could define the character’s talents.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

Why?

All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com.

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

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

‘Could it be because I destroyed Irresistible?’

It is undoubtedly an enormous amount.

Why did they give me 100 million points?

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

That which cannot be resisted.

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

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

Irresistible.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

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

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

A turning point.

I cannot ignore this phenomenon.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

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

I used SP to increase talents.

…….

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

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

[It cannot be increased further.]

And I understood.

[The maximum of 【Light】 is 10,000.]

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

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

The problem is.

It means I can max out 10,000 talents.

‘There aren’t 10,000 talents.’

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

At most, there are about 1,000.

I stroked my chin for a moment.

90 million SP remain.

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

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

They are familiar to me.

These classifications.

What I tried to learn and abandoned.

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

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

I moved my fingers quickly.

There were even things I didn’t know.

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

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

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

[All talents are at maximum!]

[Incredible! apron Astonishing!]

How much time passed.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

[The remaining Soul Points will be assigned randomly.]

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

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

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

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

[Character creation complete.]

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

…Wasn’t SP only for raising talents?

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

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

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

“The god of disaster is furious!”

“I-it’s a disaster!”

“Everyone, run!”

…Where am I?

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

People in golden armor were running in all directions.

There was chaos.

And I.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

It seemed I was being transported somewhere.

And also locked up.

I was bound.

‘Chains?’

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

And above all.

There were quite a few people like me around.

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

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

“S-save me!”

“We’re all going to die!”

“It’s the Typhoon of Massacre!”

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

Rumble! arrow Boooooom!

They trembled, crying in despair.

A gigantic typhoon was approaching.

The prisoners were shouting too.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

I looked at my body.

Devastating everything in its path.

Just as its name indicated.

All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

‘It’s similar, but different.’

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

It is my body, but it isn’t.

It was much larger and stronger.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

Firm muscles.

Even my hair was a bright golden color. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

Over 2 meters tall.

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

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

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

But one thing is certain.

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

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

It is strangely calm.

‘Why am I so calm?’

I don’t feel confused at all.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

Nor am I terrified like them.

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

‘Asgard.’

This place right now is.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

The land of the gods, Asgard.

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

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

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

The sense of reality is overwhelming.

‘It’s too real to be a game.’

So, am I inside a game?

All my senses said it.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

That it is reality.

That it is not a game.

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

Those who were fleeing while shouting said it in unison.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

I know that typhoon.

No, that’s not it.

That the god of disaster was furious.

They even gave that typhoon a name.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

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. arcade In a distant past.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

Are the gods of disaster still alive?

We brought down the tower and destroyed Irresistible.

But it’s strange.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

Soon, I faced a truth.

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

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

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

I nodded as soon as I understood.

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

Asgard, the land of the gods!

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

Crack!

I stood up.

I applied force and broke the chains.

And then.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

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

If this is the character I created.

Creeeak!

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

And if all the messages I saw are true—

‘Status.’

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

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

Class: Devourer of Disasters

Level: 1

Ding!

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

Just as I expected.

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

Intelligence: 50 Mana: 50

Strength: 50 Vitality: 50 Agility: 50

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

No, it was even more than I imagined.

‘A monster.’

Literally.

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

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

From the start, he has all attributes at 50.

But this guy.

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

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

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

Moreover.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

That means this is not my real body.

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

In the avatar I created.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

And if reality for me is…

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

Log out and return to reality.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

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

It can only be Earth.

‘…Can I return to Earth?’

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

More precisely, since that typhoon appeared.

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

‘A golden rune.’

I opened the palm of my right hand.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

I understood this naturally as well.

The glowing letters react to the typhoon.

It seems the cause was this golden rune.

‘Devourer of Disasters.’

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

By seeing something, I can understand its essence.

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

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

I am a mage.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

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

After all, I already died once.

‘Let’s do it.’

But.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

The prisoners shouted.

“He’s approaching the Typhoon of Massacre!”

“I-is that guy insane?”

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

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

And the moment the typhoon devoured me—

The golden rune in my palm reacted.

Woooooosh—

And then.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

As if I devoured it.

Suuuuuu—

It was absorbed.

Shortly after.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

“That can’t be!”

The world fell silent.

“…T-the typhoon disappeared?”

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

But it didn’t end there.

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

An extremely simple message.

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

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

Boom! This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

Suddenly, the sky turned black.

Krrrrrrr—

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

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

“…Interesting.”

I knew it the moment I saw him.

A man appeared.

This guy is—

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

‘A god of disaster.’

‘I can’t defeat him.’

And moreover.

The god who had sent that typhoon.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

My instincts screamed desperately.

I have to run.

But I can’t run.

If I turn my back, he will kill me.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

I thought about it for a moment.

Then the man spoke.

A child of god?

“Are you a child of god?”

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

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

Should I act arrogantly or pretend to submit?

‘A mediocre performance won’t work.’

He was expecting an answer.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

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

The opponent is a god.

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

Ah. altitude Was that not what he meant?

“……?”

It’s better to show myself as I am.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

Certainly.

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

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

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

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

Only I stood before him.

Everyone was paralyzed with fear.

Since he appeared, the world had gone silent. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

Not even the breathing of those behind could be heard.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

The man shook his head once and spoke.

“……?”

“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.”

It wasn’t strange that he found it curious.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

The man shrugged.

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

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

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

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

The wind rose again around us.

But I didn’t look away.

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

Swooooosh—

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

This body does not fear a god of disaster.

Everything was calm. crystal Even my heart.

I didn’t feel fear at all.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

My experience and mental strength remain intact.

And besides, I have already seen the end.

Not in the slightest.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

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

He smiled faintly and continued.

“I like you.”

“…You.”

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

“……”

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

…Wait.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

I know that name.

And one of those at the top.

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

Heimdall, the god of the typhoon?

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

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

Only I knew their names.

So the other gods are still alive?

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

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

“Hmm? galaxy It’s still intact. alert It’s probably in the protection period.”

I asked desperately.

Did they really receive no damage?

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

Intact?

The gods who invaded Earth.

…Even in the protection period?

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

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

Then.

They didn’t destroy it immediately.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

‘Regression?’

A possibility crossed my mind.

‘Could it be…?’

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

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

But something is still strange.

Have I gone back in time?

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

I took a deep breath.

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

Why did I start by creating a character in Asgard?

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

And asked my final question.

The moment I mentioned that name—

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

Heimdall frowned.

Translation of The Mage Who Devours Disasters - Chapter 2 by Indra Translations.

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

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