Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius

Episode 2

“Uhm”

I let out a moan without realizing it due to the oppressive feeling.

I frowned and tried to get up.

I could feel my muscles twitching and exerting strength, but my body showed no signs of waking up.

It was only then that I opened my eyes, frustrated with my body that seemed to have frozen and could not move properly.

“Ah… my head…” I

didn’t know what was the problem, but my head started pounding and hurting.

I lifted my heavy hand and rubbed my forehead, as if I was soaking water in a sponge.

Hands that move stiffly.

The fatigue is similar to a hangover.

‘Have I been drinking?’

Last night, I came home fine without drinking and read a book.

Why is my body acting like this when I haven’t even touched alcohol?

“No, that’s not the problem…”

I looked around blankly.

But something was strange.

It was not the familiar one-room scene.

The ceiling of the studio I live in is not that high.

As feeling in my body gradually returned, I was able to raise my upper body.

The thick blanket gently sweeps down my body.

Was it because of the blanket that made my chest feel tight?

That wasn’t important now.

I was seeing scenery for the first time in a place I had never been to in my life.

The room is the size of a living room.

‘On set…?’

It was decorated so well that it seemed like it was a set for filming a movie.

The antique furniture and sparkling decorations dazzled my eyes.

“What really?”

I was clearly reading a book in my studio, but when I came to my senses, I found myself in this place.

Is it a dream?

No, it’s definitely not a dream.

The sensations felt throughout my body were too vivid to be considered a dream.

I can clearly feel the blanket and clothes rubbing against my skin.

This is a dream?

This cannot happen.

My next thought was, is it a hidden camera? Thoughts.

But that didn’t make sense either.

There was no one I could deceive like this.

‘What are you doing using hidden cameras against me? It just costs money.’

So what is it really?

Confusing.

There were all sorts of things in the big room.

There are so many desks, books, closets, and doors.

There are as many as three doors.

‘I don’t even know which door leads out.’

I got up from the bed and walked to the desk on one side of the room.

I was wondering if there was something I could get some information about.

There was a palm-sized notebook and a pen on it.

I unfolded it carefully.

Although it looked a little different, it was something I had always used, so I was familiar with it.

The moment I was thinking about reading something.

smart.

There was a knock on the door.

“This is Master Ellis. may I come in?”

“Uh uh. come in.”

My body was stiff, but my mouth moved on its own and answered.

I was embarrassed by the way my mouth responded, but I tried my best to control my expression.

Sweet.

The door opened with a small sound.

A woman dressed as a maid appeared with him.

“….”

I closed my mouth.

The room had an old-fashioned feel, but I didn’t expect a woman dressed as a maid to appear.

She looked at me and said a little surprised.

“For some reason you woke up early today. young master.”

“Uh…what.”

Because this was my first experience like this, I shook my head awkwardly.

It’s bound to be awkward.

I’ve had many experiences in my life, but this was my first time experiencing something like this.

After losing consciousness while reading a novel, I opened my eyes again and found myself in a place I had never seen before… It didn’t make sense to begin with.

Plus… a woman dressed as a maid is standing in front of her.

It was natural for confusion to increase.

“Are you not feeling well?”

“uh? no. are you okay.”

He shook his head and answered.

Maybe it was because I was embarrassed, but every time I answered, I ended up adding ‘uh’ without realizing it.

“Your complexion doesn’t look good… are you really okay? “Did you drink too much last night?”

“It’s okay. “More than that.”

“yes?”

I was about to ask him why he came, but he kept his mouth shut.

For some reason, I thought it would be even weirder to ask that.

“Nothing.”

I shook my head and pretended like nothing was wrong.

Because one of the things I’m best at is acting.

While acting, I carefully looked at the maid in front of me.

Pretty is really pretty.

But what did you say your name was?

‘Was it Ellis?’

The name seemed familiar.

Is it because it’s the name of a famous fairy tale protagonist?

Then I suddenly realized that it was the same as the name of an extra in the novel ‘Master of Talent’ that I received from a fan.

Extra Ellis. To be exact, it was just a passing role.

Until the beginning of the novel, there is a character who subtly interferes with the main character’s path by giving him a sweet potato and allowing the main character to see the cider.

Raymond Millennium.

The bastard son of the famous magic family, Count Millennium.

Raymond, who was behaving like a fool as usual, meets the protagonist and loses his life.

By dedicating my cider and my talents to the main character.

‘Elise…’

was the maid of honor for that guy named Raymond.

Perhaps it was because I read it carefully, word by word, or because it was the scene where the main character commits murder for the first time, but it was clearly engraved in my mind.

“First, we will help you change clothes. young master.”

At the sound of Ellis’ voice, I straightened up without saying a word.

Ellis said, showing three clothes in front of me.

“What kind of clothes…”

I immediately chose one of the three clothes.

I felt like it would become awkward if I took more time.

“With this.”

I don’t know why, but choosing clothes felt natural.

It’s like doing what you’ve always done for granted.

“It’s a good choice. As expected, Master Raymond…”

My body jolted to a halt as I heard Alice’s next words.

I couldn’t even hear the content.

My brain literally stopped.

I swallowed my saliva and opened my mouth with trembling lips.

“Ellis.”

“Yes, master.”

“What did you just say…”

“Yes? As expected, Master Raymond said he had an eye for choosing clothes.”

I couldn’t hear anything else, only the name Raymond was heard loudly.

Oh my god.

I closed my eyes tightly.

Nonsense hypotheses appeared in my head and then disappeared.

But why?

Those ridiculous hypotheses.

‘I guess it makes sense.’

It seemed like something big had happened.

***

It took ten days.

Until I acknowledged that I had entered the novel ‘Master of Talents’.

At first, I denied it, saying it was nonsense, but after living as ‘Raymond Millennium’ instead of ‘Lee Sung-hyuk’ for 10 days, I naturally came to accept it.

Little by little, Raymond Millennium’s life became familiar, and the name Lee Seong-hyuk faded away.

Ten days was enough time for me to realize that I had entered a novel.

There was also time to decide on a certain direction.

smart.

“young master.”

“come in.”

I immediately answered the knock on the door and the sound of Ellis’ voice.

It felt very awkward and crazy at first, but now I’ve gotten used to it.

To be more precise, I got used to ‘acting’ as Raymond Millennium.

Sweet.

Ellis entered the room in a familiar manner.

Before she could say anything, I chose the most common of the three clothes she brought.

I think the most difficult thing in life as Raymond is clothes.

Most of the clothes had accessories and were so flashy that it was difficult for me, who was used to modern clothes, to get dressed.

“This is it for today.”

“yes.”

Ellis nodded without saying anything and helped me change my clothes.

“Ellis.”

“Yes, master.”

“What are the rumors these days?”

For ten days, I did my best to understand the situation.

I lived my life for ten days comparing the novels I read and how similar this place was and whether there were any differences.

And that’s the conclusion.

‘It’s exactly the same.’

In the novel, Raymond Millennium was an incompetent idiot.

His mother passed away when he was young, and he was shocked by it and went on a rampage, denying the reality he realized as he grew up.

“…It’s still the same.”

“okay?”

“However, I feel that you have changed a little.”

“It’s changed. many.”

He answered, interrupting Ellis.

She was silent for a moment.

After finishing changing clothes, Ellis took a step back and opened her mouth.

“You have definitely changed. “The head of the family and other tower owners will feel the same way when they see you.”

“But I still don’t have the slightest talent for magic.”

Ellis flinched at the sudden remark and couldn’t reply.

The Millennium Family was one of the four families that supported the Magic Tower.

In other words, it is a magic house.

And Raymond, the only son of the Millennium family, has no talent for magic.

Age of 17.

At an age when most of the children of the other three magic families had reached the 3rd circle, Raymond was still at the level of the 1st circle.

“It’s not your fault, Master.”

“…let’s go. “Today is ‘the day.’”

I scratched my cheek as she tried to comfort me.

There is a class held once a month with students from circles 1 and 2.

A class that is similar to a special lecture that teaches the basics of magic.

1 It was something that was being carried out at the level of the Magic Tower because it was of great help to the apprentice wizards of the 2nd circle.

“Are you going straight to the Magic Tower?”

“huh. “I’m going alone, so take care of your work.”

“yes. young master. “Then I’ll just guide you to the gate.”

Ellis accepted my order without hesitation.

For the past ten days, I have handled everything through Elistle.

Since it was strange to begin with, no one thought it was very strange that I didn’t go out.

‘I hope you’ll be okay.’

I was a little nervous because it was my first time going to the Magic Tower and meeting other people since I came here.

Another reason was that there was almost no detailed information in the novel.

‘Master of Talent’ revolves around the main character and never sheds light on the lives of extras.

I followed behind Ellis, who was walking briskly.

The gate was a passage connected to the Magic Tower.

A device that allows you to travel a distance that would take dozens of days in seconds.

As a renowned magic family, a gate was naturally installed within the family.

“There is a passenger.”

Ellis said after spotting two apprentice wizards standing in front of the gate.

Apprentice wizards raised by the Millennium family.

They are now in the second circle.

“hello.”

“Oh my, it’s been a long time. Master Raymond.”

The apprentice wizards smiled and greeted.

It was definitely not a good laugh.

“I see you are also attending this class.”

“….”

“You’ve been attending for almost 10 years already… I hope that you will gain enlightenment this time and move up to the second circle.”

The two apprentice wizards giggled as they spoke like that for my benefit.

It was clearly just a remark intended to ignore and belittle me.

If it had been the original Raymond, there would have been no answer.

I guess I just took my anger out on the maids or servants later.

‘Look at these bastards?’

But I had no intention of just sitting there and being ignored.

Because I came here and decided on a direction for how I should live for 10 days.

I never had any intention of becoming a useless asshole.

Even madmen have their own level.

Rather than living the life of a motherfucker, it is better to become a proper motherfucker.

And in order to do that, you cannot remain silent in this situation.

I took a deep breath.

[The ‘Unknown God’ eyes sparkle in anticipation of your talent blossoming.] He

closed his eyes, then opened them and opened his mouth.

“Are these crazy people?”

As he said that, he raised the corners of his mouth.

Now it’s time to ‘act’ like a true idiot.
