I Became a Genius Mage in the Cthulhu Game - Chapter 458
Only Ranovel
Chapter 458
Episode 458: Return to daily life
“Yay~! “We’re here!”
Jang Hyeon-deok runs through the hallways of [The Starving Mansion] making a crashing sound.
Achilles, who remained in the mansion, welcomed us with a giggling noise.
“Have you been there?”
“Yes, did anything happen?”
“Nothing special happened. “How should we eat?”
For the first time in a while, I returned home in time for dinner.
“Ah, when you’re ready – ugh, turn around!”
Perhaps because he was bothered by me blocking the door, he pushed me and entered the house. Rumbling-
“Kiiiiii!”
I almost fell, but fortunately Red flew over and caught me, so I avoided being in a funny situation. No matter what happens to me, Doldol is pounding next to Heo Sang-hyeon.
“Hey, Doldol! “You bastard, you like Sanghyun better than me, right?”
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Why are you saying such obvious things? Doldol shrugs her body as if to say, “Laughable Kim Shin-hwa guy.”
“Egugugu- Anyway, Mr. Sanghyun. You can eat dinner anytime, so please let me know when you’re ready. Hey, Jang Hyeondeok! “Don’t lie down on the sofa!”
“Huh? why?”
“Because I’m going to lie down. Get out of the way, man! “It’s my sofa!”
“Oh my. Aren’t you organizing it? “In the past, when you came back, you cleaned things up first, right?”
When I return to the base, I have gotten into the habit of first organizing my inventory in the large box at the base… … . I’m tired of that now too.
‘The status abnormality doesn’t go away at all.’
[Status Abnormality: Weakness]
I got rid of [Severe Injury] a long time ago, but I don’t think [Weakness] will go away once it’s attached. Well, even though my body wasn’t fully recovered, I traveled all over the country, defeating all kinds of monsters – and plugging every hole, so there was no chance my body would get better.
“But wizard, what on earth have we done this time?”
Jang Hyeon-deok forcibly rubs himself against the spot where I was lying down and asks a question.
“Uhm… … . Block the entrance? Hey, it’s narrow. “Go down.”
“Block the entrance?”
“No, how should I explain it? To prevent the monsters from coming out, we blocked the hole through which the monsters could come out. Oh, okay, I guess we can just say it’s sealed.”
“Wow, it was like that!”
“Haha- But you said you should get out of the way? “It’s heavy, man!”
To put it more simply, it just [induces a bug].
For example, let’s say a monster is scheduled to respawn at point A.
‘But this game allows you to move arbitrary objects?’
So the player placed a large object at location A. So what happens to the monsters that should appear in that location?
Well-made games usually have a plan for this.
Either prevent such things from happening from the beginning or set it up so that monsters can appear in other places.
But can there be such a thing in our [Cthulhu World]?
When a player does something like that… … . Isn’t it amazing? The monster’s appearance is simply canceled!
“Hahahaha!”
“Ugh, wizard, what are you doing all of a sudden?”
“No, it’s because I’m happy.”
“ah… … . hmm… … . sorry.”
Jang Hyeon-deok goes down the sofa with a scared expression.
In fact, would you say it is an extension of [removing the starting location of the event] that we have done so far?
I’m not sure if the method I tried will cause trouble to them, but… … . It is clear that it had minimal effect.
Even now that the sun has been restored, I still haven’t received any experience points.
“The meal is ready.”
Umm, managers, are you eating your meals on time? I’m worried that you may be skipping meals due to extended maintenance. I am… prepared by the great Heo Sang-hyeon. … .
“Oh, excuse me, Mr. Sanghyun, but what is the side dish today?”
“It’s Korean food. I stir-fried some beef, grilled mackerel, and made gondre rice. “We have prepared two types of seasoning, so it would be nice to use the one that suits your taste.”
Did you hear?
I will be waiting while eating salty and savory grilled mackerel.
Administrators, please quickly give me the experience I deserve.
* * *
“Wizard, don’t take all the mackerel!”
“Hey, this much is mine!”
“Here’s more.”
As soon as we started raising our voices, grilled mackerel was added to the table.
“wow!”
“Move! “It’s my mackerel!”
“They even took the sofa away!”
No matter what Jang Hyeon-deok says, the chopsticks are moving toward a new mackerel.
The plump flesh of purple mackerel, exuding a lustrous shine, dances with the moist juice in your mouth.
In addition, the stir-fried beef, cooked in a way that intentionally emphasizes the sweetness, harmonized beautifully with the slightly bitter umami unique to the gondre rice, serving perfectly as a third seasoning.
Sujeonggwa with pine nuts floating on it is served on the table at the end of the meal.
“I’m relieved to see that you’re feeling better.”
Heo Sang-hyun looks at me with a steady expression. For a moment, I thought about what to say to him in return, but… … .
[System: The seal stone (my three sacred peaks) has been destroyed.]
“what?”
[System: The sealing stone (Shinseondae) has been destroyed.]
“How much?”
The seal stones that are destroyed at this time. I guess the bugs around there have also disappeared.
“Oh, who are you?”
“Wizard, you’re talking to yourself again.”
“no. “I’m trying to sense what’s happening in Busan right now.”
“Look at this. “When the wizard says something like this, I don’t know if it’s true or nonsense?”
“Oh, it’s true.”
Organizing my thoughts while drinking crystal fruit.
Well, I expected this much. News that can perhaps be interpreted in a positive way.
There are so many sealing stones I made, but only two?
‘So that means they didn’t respond by directly exerting influence and resetting the wide area.’
maybe… … . A high-level cult member… … . Are you trying to move the NPC of the Foreigners Management Office?
And the fact that this work has begun… … .
[Even though an enemy with indomitable protection blocks you, you… … .]
Ugh, it has started.
“Mr. Sanghyun! I really enjoyed the meal! Today’s meal was really great! “Something suddenly needs to be done, so I’m going down to the basement!”
I quickly used my magic power to grab another bowl of crystal fruit and went down to the basement.

[…] … exerted a strong influence on The overall understanding of the ‘existence of the abyss’ increases significantly.]
[You have gained enough experience and have reached the next level. The level increases by 1.]
Experience points provided at the end of listing what I have handled and what influence I have had.
“But isn’t this a bit unreasonable? “Why on earth do you use this method of giving away money?”
It would be much better to just give experience points every time you defeat one.
“Oh, you’re not calculating this manually and providing it, are you?”
Is there a program? It’s automatic, right?
[Achievement achieved! Surprised the ‘Abyssal – The One Who Dwells in Darkness’ and removed his influence.
You have obtained ‘Legendary Achievement: Love and Darkness’.
As a reward for the achievement, you get ‘random stat +2’ and gain additional experience.]
It gives you +2 stats? I kind of like this.
Okay, where are you going to put it?
[Your charm stat has increased by 2 points.]
Ah, charm.
It’s a little disappointing.
It is attached to intelligence or mental ability. No, my strength and health are good.
[Achievement achieved! ‘Yeonam’s ruler – Moon Tae-ik’ was defeated and a new chairman of Yeonam was elected.
You have obtained ‘Rare Achievement: Chairman’s Retirement Ceremony’.
As a reward for the achievement, one of the characteristics of ‘Ruler of Yeonam – Taeik Moon’ is randomly acquired.]
Oh, I acquired one of Moon Tae-ik’s characteristics.
Taeik Moon stole other humans’ brains and their characteristics over a long period of time. It also has many powerful hidden characteristics.
Moreover, there are some characteristics that can only be obtained this way… … .
“wait for a sec. Hey, wait a minute!”
[Brain Devourer] I’m sure you’re not planning on giving me something like this, are you?
The tentacles TO of my body are already full!
So don’t give it to me! No, I’ll just give you something! Was I too fussy? Sorry! I apologize! Wrong!
For some reason, the message is output later than usual.
[You have gained the ‘Noble Charisma’ trait.]
Oh my goodness. [Noble Charisma]? That’s a good ability. I don’t have the ability to hide anything, but… … .
[Noble Charisma: Receives a bonus when attempting a positive conversation with an intelligent being, and has a certain probability to prevent effects that provide a penalty to charm.]
okay. It’s this kind of ability.
[Cthulhu World] provides a penalty to charm checks made against other races.
This ability has a chance of removing the penalty.
“… … .”
Isn’t this a bit ominous?
My original charm stat was 22 points.
However, I just received a bonus, so my score went up by 2 points to 24 points.
Added charm bonuses and characteristics that prevent penalties… … ? An ominous feeling that the genre of the game will suddenly change a bit.
Besides, I have other problems.
For example, like 100 cats lining up around the house?
“hey! Beat it! Rather just give me tentacles! “I’ll just eat your brains!”
No matter what I said, the compensation proceeded without hesitation.
[Achievement achieved! You destroyed the sun.
You have earned the ‘Mythic Achievement: Sun Destroyer’.
As a reward for the achievement, you will receive the ‘Abyss Trapezoid’ and gain additional experience.]
A strangely shaped jewel was suddenly placed on the workbench, as if it had been there from the beginning.
“Oh, shit. Baby, what’s wrong? Are you angry because I created a bug? “Don’t be like this, just be honest.”
[The Trapezoid of the Abyss] is an artifact that Taeik Moon carried within his body.
Not only does it give you the ability to summon an avatar of Nyarlathotep – but it also emits an evil miasma that can corrupt or kill anyone nearby.
Geeeeee-
A green haze spewing out at high speed.
[absorbed]
Oh, it’s not like pouring beer and sucking the foam that overflows… … . First of all, I quickly absorbed the poison that flowed out, but it is not something that can be solved in this way.
[Retirement of authority]
[Brilliant brilliance]
[Cold Prison of Bones]
[Evil gaze]
Magic that is activated in a hurry. A technique that moves at high speed. Is there anything you need to store somewhere? Ah, it would be better to leave it there.
I took out the [Model Mansion Lv.1] I had previously obtained and trapped the [Abyss Trapezoid].
[Model Mansion Lv.1] is an object that has the ability to form subspace. Since we are isolating it in another dimension, we can also prevent the poison of the abyss from flowing out.
“Ha, what’s next? Just give him the [Silent Seducer] trait. “I’ll just go around seducing all the people.”
[Silent Seducer] is an attribute that automatically casts [Charm] on nearby targets.
[You have gained enough experience and have reached the next level. The level increases by 1.]
[You have reached level 91!
As a level achievement reward, you have received a bonus ability point (1) that can be freely distributed.]
[For you who have gained enough experience, the use of 9th level magic has been unlocked. Please note that in order to use 9th level magic in earnest, you need to obtain or learn a grimoire containing 9th level spells.]
[System: The ‘Spell Mastery’ trait is activated. You automatically learn the basic spells that exist in the second tier.]
Ha, it looks like it’s finally over.
I added the additional stats provided to my mental strength and waited for the next message.
[You have discovered one of the secrets of this world. Additionally, you may sense a new destiny approaching you. You will soon face a new encounter or a tragic breakup.]
“It’s a new fate and you’re going to sleep and I’m going home?”
[That’s right. Nevertheless, you will continue to move forward without stopping. Now, a chaotic future awaits you.]
The fixed comment is over.
“I’ve been thinking about it, and it doesn’t seem like there’s much point in you talking like this, right? “How about we just give experience points for business purposes and move on?”
[System: Penalty attribute ‘Destroyed Mind’ is activated. Since you currently have 1 madness, a random madness will appear.]
Ah, there’s one last step left.
I drank the crystal fruit I had prepared in advance and waited for the exciting and enjoyable Mad Roulette.
[System: ‘Insanity – Claustrophobia’ is granted to your spirit.]
“Claustrophobia?”
