Magic - Page 52

An insane magician sinks the Golden Kingdom underground, and its king emerges from the rubble pledging all of his treasure to those who defeat the magician before disintegrating into dust. Driven by the reward, guilds navigate the maze-like dungeon to find the magician. Laios, the leader of one such guild, faces a dragon that kills his entire team and eats his sister, Falin. Despite losing everything, including their supplies, Laios, an elven healer named Marcille, and a halfling thief known as Chilchuck reenter the dungeon to rescue Falin. Laios proposes they eat the dungeon monsters as a means of survival, but they are interrupted during meal preparation by a curious dwarf named Senshi. Skilled in monster cuisine, he assists the guild and proposes cooking the dragon they encountered. Senshi joins the guild and leads them on a food adventure in the dungeon. Since time is of the essence, the guild devours their way through the dungeon in search of Falin.

After a Gate opened, Lee Kang-jun was transported to another world. Over 50 years, he conquered the vast Anux Continent, rising as Emperor and reigning as an Absolute Being. As a 9th-Circle Necromancer, he hunted Dragons, traversed other dimensions to sweep clean the Demon Realm of its fiends, and even ventured into the Murim to defeat the Heavenly Demon and the Murim Alliance Leader. After centuries of searching for a path back to Earth, he finally managed to return after more than 300 years... Only for his sister to thrust a plump, warm creature into his arms. “She’s your daughter. Her mother died during childbirth... do you happen to remember her?” “Papa—!” The thing is... the event happened before he even conquered the Anux Continent—over 300 years ago... “Yes, yes, you were some incredibly powerful Emperor of a continent, right? You were trapped in a Gate for three years, so it's a relief you're only suffering from delusions.” Even if she is his only sister, she is presumptuously treating him like a lunatic. The only statement he cannot disagree with is: “But she is your daughter, so you have to treat her well.” He had already planned to quietly enjoy a peaceful, ordinary life upon returning to Earth. From now on, as the Absolute Being, he will dedicate his full power to laying a path of flowers for his daughter, Seol-ah.

Now Noelle is living the dream, rubbing shoulders with the kingdom's greatest magicians and showing off her skills. She has a beautiful new workplace and a generous new boss, but how will she cope with intense entrance exams, her marriage-obsessed mother, and the rules of etiquette?
