I Became a Genius Mage in the Cthulhu Game Chapter 87

Episode 87

Episode 87: Transfer of ownership (2)

Although it has returned to junk, the Command Golem is not completely destroyed. It is normally placed in the house as miscellaneous items, but is reassembled and moves when an order is given or an enemy invades.

However, the parts that overlap with the wall are still embedded in the wall. It looked like there were decorations and saws sticking out of nowhere in the center of the wall.

‘That can’t be helped.’

Furniture stuck in the wall cannot be removed.

Even in [Cthulhu World], there is almost no way to remove items stuck in the wall.

“The easiest way is to reboot.”

If I could reboot, I would have done it a long time ago.

Then the only way left is to load to a previous point, or delete the character completely and start again from the beginning… … .

I can’t try any of them right now.

Therefore, I decided to give up on the part that was stuck in the wall.

I plan to just leave it locked in the wall and reconstruct it using only the remaining parts.

Even with this method, it is impossible to reconstruct those whose cores have been locked.

“People like that just give up.”

The number will be reduced a lot, but it doesn’t really matter since you won’t be playing the so-called gangster mage, which is a build that carries a large number of summons anyway.

‘Before we reorganize, let’s first fix this inefficient technique that draws out magic power at random.’

I touched the nearby magic circle and reset the magic that formed the bodies of the ghost golems.

Manipulating the spell by touching the shining magic circles floating in the air… … For some reason, it reminded me of a science fiction movie I watched before I was trapped in this world.

It’s actually similar.

Pull the magic circle to increase its size, rotate it, throw it, or pull it.

I have never learned how to handle and reconstruct these techniques.

But it’s not difficult. I will soon learn how to manipulate this technique.

“Anyway, it’s similar to coding.”

It felt similar to code for moving a robot.

Of course, I have never seen any code for programming, let alone the code of a robot.

However, after reading this technique, I felt like I could understand how to control and manage the movements of robots in reality.

‘I think I can code if I just learn a little bit.’

I only touched the magic briefly.

I learned how to handle, control, and adjust them just by flowing magic directly into the magic and messing with the structure a little.

“Roughly something like this… … .”

Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… … .

The spell was transformed according to my will, and the magic power began to move along the newly created path.

“Oh, that’s okay. “Now I know for sure.”

As expected, since their intelligence is high, they can do all kinds of things.

If only I had maxed out my strength… … Well, it would have been convenient as is, but this is definitely a task that cannot be attempted with other stats.

“I hope my intelligence stat is maintained even when I return to the original world.”

Honestly, I don’t even want magic.

Even if you lose your magic abilities to return to reality, is there a way to keep your intelligence stats the same?

This ability to never forget anything you have seen once and to understand anything in an instant is truly amazing.

The speed at which we understand, analyze, and learn something is very fast.

I quickly found a way to solve the problem that existed in the technique.

However, rather than improving only the immediately visible parts, we decided to check a wider scope.

The magic that moved the spirit golem seemed like a sophisticated mechanical device.

The patterns of each technique and magical power seem to move organically and form a complementary structure… … .

But they say you can only see what you know? As my understanding increased, I began to see areas that needed improvement in this technique.

No, not at that level… … .

“What, this was completely nonsense?”

It only looks good on the outside.

In reality, it is a ridiculous technique that is extremely inefficient and operates in a haphazard manner. It even includes customary decorations placed without much meaning and useless ostentation, hindering the efficiency of the structure.

This is why it moved so messily.

Response patterns that can be used when unexpected situations or problems arise are also extremely poor.

Although there was a pre-written response pattern, it was monotonous, like some kind of loopy game character.

“What have you been doing for 150 years?”

Just by tweaking the technique a little, it could have been made much more efficient and intelligent, so why mess it up like this?

‘I was just trying to improve the parts that were consuming magic power as I wanted… … .’

In the end, I started to improve my technique, taking more time than I had planned.

Every time I checked the content and applied improvements, a new method came to mind.

Inspiration continues to flow.

In the end, everything except the framework of the existing technique was recreated.

It’s a lot of work, but it’s worth it.

This is not the end. The knowledge I have learned and realized now can be applied to other fields as well.

I think we could create something completely new that has never appeared before in [Cthulhu World].

There is no need to shape it this way, and it can be moved with lighter resources… … .

“Well, that doesn’t mean I can just do this all day… … .”

Anyway, I achieved my original goal. All notable errors were resolved, safety features were improved, and inefficient designs were completely redesigned.

As a result, we created a structure that reduced magic power consumption by one-tenth, and improved the intelligence of the spirit golems by nearly three times.

“This is all for now.”

I stretched out both hands and made a motion to push the magic circle away.

The magic circles floating in the air synchronized with my movements and flew towards the miscellaneous items scattered everywhere.

And reboot.

No, awakening.

“Now, wake up.”

Let’s go, let’s go. Crackling.

The fallen spirit golems begin to stand up, reorganizing their bodies in perfect order.

There is no separate minister.

The numbers have decreased significantly.

‘There are 13 of them.’

Why is it that number again? It’s a number that has no longer had any meaning, but I don’t have any good feelings because the lingering memories of having suffered for a while still remain.

Less is not a big problem. If necessary, you can make more of the same thing.

However, unless a special problem arises, wouldn’t it be necessary to create a spirit golem of that type?

I’ve tried raising a necromancer character before, but it takes a lot of time and resources to make something exactly like that.

Should I say especially the engine? The human soul, refined in a special way, must enter the core of the structure.

In addition, terrible materials that are difficult to tolerate socially are needed.

There is no reason to make more of that when you can operate something better than that with less cost and risk.

furthermore… … 13 is already too many.

Anyway, for the time being, my only role will be to protect the house.

“Well, anyway, the magic power consumed is stable… … .”

Movement is also normal.

“good. “For now, we don’t need it right now, so spread it out appropriately.”

Rumbling… … ! Rumble!

The bodies of the spirit golems dispersed again and returned to fixtures and furniture throughout the mansion.

I looked around the living room, which was now quiet again.

The command golems have been cleaned out, but beyond that, the living room is a mess. A ceiling scorched by fire magic. Unsightly miscellaneous things stuck in the wall and sticking out. Furniture that has lost its place and is placed haphazardly.

These are problems, but there are more problems than that.

The dust, evil spirits, evil magic and ghosts that have built up along with its reputation as a haunted house over the years.

This may not have been a problem when it was a den of the undead. However, it is not yet a suitable place for humans to breathe and eat.

“I’d like to start cleaning, but there are still problems to solve.”

I activated my magic and snapped my fingers.

[Invisible Hand]

Buuuuung!

Invisible hands appear around the body.

The hands flew to the corner of the living room and dragged the person who was lying there to my side.

“hmm… … .”

Something humanoid flew in while being held by transparent hands.

This is Heo Sang-hyun.

Heo Sang-hyeon has lost consciousness and is in a limp state.

I checked the condition of the [Ancient God’s Mysterious Mirror] hanging around his neck.

[Ancient God’s Mirror (Class A Accessory): An object imbued with the influence of an ancient god has been added to a mirror made for communication with divine beings. It has the power to subdue evil spirits and prevent disasters.

Cheongi Lightning: Blocks the effect of possession and reduces the influence of otherworldly beings.

Heavenly Perspective: You can see your surroundings even in the dark, and your eyesight +100%.

Cheon Seon Jin-gi: Automatically casts the ‘Healing Meditation’ spell on the designated target and increases the effect of rest by 100%.

Cheonak Mosul: Automatically casts the ‘Powerful Hallucination’ spell on the designated target and improves sensitivity to magical power or divine power.

I didn’t know that something I made as a last resort to get a good night’s sleep could do so much work.

As soon as Heo Sang-hyeon attacked me, he activated the Myunggyeong ability, Cheonak Moseul, and injected hallucinations.

Thanks to this, I was able to deceive Heo Joo, who had been provided information about the first floor by Heo Sang-hyeon.

“What on earth should we do with this guy?”

This is an unplanned part.

This is because while playing [Cthulhu World], Heo Sang-hyeon automatically attained Buddhahood at this point. There was no need for him to worry, it was just a matter of praying for his peace.

However, even though the case has been resolved, Heo Sang-hyeon is still alive.

furthermore… … .

“Ownership and control? “This guy?”

Just like the Command Golem, along with the ownership of this house, I was given the authority to control and control Heo Sanghyun.

After further analyzing Heo Sang-hyun’s condition, the contents of the message window displayed, and the information available at the mansion, I was able to understand what was going on.

“therefore… … “Did it end up like this because Myeonggyeong was more powerful than expected?”

Heo Sang-hyun was originally a dead person.

Heo Sang-hyeon, who was living abroad, came to Paju to inherit a mansion, met Heo Ju, and died.

Heo Ju, who needed an assistant and social status to help with his rituals, put the soul of the once dead Heo Sang-hyeon back into his body and resurrected him as an undead.

So, at the time of Heoju’s death, the spell was lifted and he attained Buddhahood.

The problem is that Myeong-gyeong, who has the power to prevent possession, is now preventing the soul from leaving Heo Sang-hyeon’s body.

And since the magic on his body was still working, ownership and control were automatically transferred to me.

“Then structurally… … “If I retrieve this famous mirror, I will die right away, right?”

Conversely, if you don’t collect it, you can buy more anyway.

One more thing that bothers me is that he is an undead made in a different way than the ghost golem.

“This… … “It is a way of working through contracts rather than being manufactured.”

Although the will and thoughts can be controlled according to the techniques of the contract, it is basically a method that operates autonomously based on the parties’ self-consciousness.

In other words, it means that Heo Sang-hyeon was conscious all this time.

Heo Sang-hyun has been working to attract troubleshooters according to Heo Joo’s orders.

When you say it’s an evil deed, it’s an evil deed… … Does that mean Heo Sang-hyun is a villain?

He would have had to drag in a victim against his will and then watch as the victim was dismembered or used as a ritual sacrifice.

After scratching my head for a moment, I turned to one of the furniture in the living room and gave an order.

“Hey, wake up. just one.”

As soon as the command is given, the surrounding furniture begins to fly.

Crackle, crack, crack!

A ghost golem quickly formed a humanoid body and approached.

“You put this guy on the bunk bed.”

I raised my hand and pointed at Heo Sang-hyun.

Kirilik.

The Command Golem nodded silently and carried the limp Heo Sang-hyun on his back and went up to the second floor.

“Why don’t we at least talk when you wake up later?”

Anyway, if you keep it alive, there is something you can use it for.

Is this the end to this hasty sorting out?

I slowly walked around the first floor again, looking around the living room, hallway, and reception room.

‘It’s a flaw that the interior is too old, but that depends on the decoration.’

Anyway, I liked the mansion.

‘I need to check the basement too… … .’

With that in mind, I walked a little closer to the direction of the basement.

That moment… … .

[System: There is a place inside the base that has not yet been explored. Investigate the entire mansion and obtain the remaining rewards.]

“How much?”

This is a message that was displayed immediately after obtaining the achievement.

The message that had been printed once appeared again.

As if urging me on.
