Proof-reader: TheMonitor

Blue, red and now a new colour appeared . Purple . Soo Hyuk put back the book that he was about to pull out and walked towards the bookshelf in the middle of the line .

When he arrived in front the bookshelf, Soo Hyuk pulled out the purple book .

“Archmage Lapis?”

The title of the purple book was ‘Archmage Lapis’ . Holding the three white books and the new purple book, Soo Hyuk returned to his desk .

As soon as he sat down, he opened a book to the first page . It was of course, ‘Archmage Lapis’ .

“Does this book also give a quest?”

The blue and red books before all gave special quests of different kinds . What will this new book sparkling in purple give? Suppressing his excitement, Soo Hyuk dived into the book with a smile .

.

.

.

I raised ten towers . The towers of Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Lightning, Darkness, Light, Healing, Poison and Illusion . I couldn’t manage them all on my own, so I appointed 10 Spire Lords to manage these new towers .

.

.

.

I have to choose a successor soon . But no one catches my eye .

.

.

.

I couldn’t decide in the end . Oh well, it’s not like I have to have one anyway . The city is currently flourishing as well .

.

.

.

I’m sure my successor will appear someday .

The book ended with that sentence . Soo Hyuk closed the book silently .

A message appeared as the purple sparkle disappeared .

[Promotion Quest ‘Successor of Lapis’ has been created . ]

[You have obtained ‘Archmage Lapis’ Letter’]

The purple book also gave a quest . But it was slightly different from the blue and the red books . Because the purple books gave out promotion quests and didn’t give any wisdom .

“……Successor of Lapis?”

Soo Hyuk was startled after reading the message .

“Lapis the Archmage……”

It was because of who Lapis was .

“It’s going to be really hard, right?”

It was the successor of the Archmage . How hard was the quest going to be? But it couldn’t be helped that Soo Hyuk was excited over this . After all, it was bound to give a special job . So, Soo Hyuk opened the quest tab and opened the ‘Successor of Lapis’ quest .

[Promotion Test – Successor of Lapis]

[It is your destiny and fortune to become Archmage Lapis’ Successor! Prove your worth by reading ‘Archmage Lapis’ Letter’!]

[Quest Reward: Special Job – Lapis’ Descendent ]

“……?”

Soo Hyuk was left speechless after reading the quest description .

“So I just have to read the letter?”

The quest was way too easy, right?

“Isn’t there anything else?”

Soo Hyuk thought that it was too easy . He just had to read the letter he got along with the quest .

“Don’t tell me that there’s a catch to reading the letter?”

Soo Hyuk wondered if there was a special condition or a catch to reading the reader, so to check, he opened his inventory and pulled out the letter .

[<Legend> Archmage Lapis’ Letter]

[You will be teleported to another subspace when you rip the letter . ]

It was the letter from the Arch Mage, but that was all it contained .

“……?”

Soo Hyuk became suspicious as he stared at the letter .

“So, there’s no condition to opening the letter?”

He had opened the letter easily .

“But it says I’ll be teleported the moment I rip the letter . ”

Nothing had happened when he opened the letter, but it seemed as if he had to rip the letter to be promoted .

“Where’s the subspace?”

The problem was the contents of the letter .

“I don’t know what could happen if I rip it . ”

But he thought that it couldn’t be a big problem as the quest stated that he would get the special job if he followed the letter .

Soo Hyuk first looked at the three remaining books on his desk . He was considering whether to read the books first as he didn’t know what could happen .

“Well, the books won’t run away or anything . ”

In the end, Soo Hyuk decided to rip the letter first . Of course, the quest wasn’t going to run away as well, but he was more curious about the quest .

Soo Hyuk held the letter with both hands . And pulled it apart .

Rippp!

The ripped letter disappeared in his hands and a message appeared .

[Warping to ‘Archmage’s Subspace’ . ]

The message appeared according to the letter . Of course, it wasn’t the only one .

[You have completed the promotion Quest ‘Successor of Lapis’ . ]

[Promoting to ‘Lapis’ Descendent’……]

[You have been promoted into the special job, ‘Lapis’ Descendent’ . ]

[Obtained the skill ‘Archmage’ . ]

“……”

Jang Yool stared at the monitor blankly . But his expression was slowly hardening . Then suddenly, as if a dam had been broken, various emotions flooded him at once . ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

“Hooo……”

Jang Yool sighed deeply as he calmed his rampant emotions . Then his expression returned to normal, he turned his head and looked at Yang Joo Hyuk .

“I have to tell him, right?”

It was futile to hold this off . He would know about it soon anyway . Jang Yool opened his mouth after steeling himself .

“Team Leader . ”

“……”

Yang Joo Hyuk didn’t reply to his call . When Jang Yool looked at him, it looked like Yang Joo Hyuk was so absorbed in his work that he hadn’t heard his call . So, Jang Yool said again with a louder voice .

“Team Leader!”

“Hmm, what?”

Yang Joo Hyuk replied this time .

“He was promoted . ”

Jang Yool continued .

“What do you mean?”

“Lapis’ Descendent . ”

“……!”

Yang Joo Hyuk stood up at his words . His expression was of surprise and resignation .

Yang Joo Hyuk asked again as he walked up to Jang Yool .

“To what?”

The Descendent of Lapis was a Tier 1 special job, but it was special even among other Tier 1’s .

“Do you mean what attribute?”

Jang Yool asked back . It was too determined what he had asked about . Yang Joo Hyuk nodded at his words .

“Please wait a moment . ”,

Jang Yool said as he began typing on his keyboard .

“He was only just promoted . ”

“Really?”

“I suspect that he’s thinking about it now . ”

“Hmm . ”

Yang Joo Hyuk then asked Jang Yool .

“He should’ve read the book, right?”

Apart from the ‘Archmage Lapis’, there was another book inside the subspace . The book explained what kind of job ‘Lapis’ Descendent‘ exactly was .

“Yes, he has read it . ”

“As expected . So, he should be pondering about the attribute change as we speak . ”,

Yang Joo Hyuk mumbled while slowly nodding his head to Jang Yool’s reply . He then continued .

“He should be logging out around this time . ”

“Yes, his usual log out time should’ve been around 30 minutes ago . ”

After all, it wasn’t as if he had a time restriction . He could choose to log out and in whenever he wants .

“Looks like he’s logging out later than usual . ”

This was understandable, given that he was in a situation many other users would kill to get .

“So he is . ”

Yang Joo Hyuk said absentmindedly as he nodded his head . Breaking out of his thoughts, Yang Joo Hyuk said to Jang Yool,

“Tell me his choice as soon as he picks . ”

“Yes, sir!”

Jang Yool replied loudly as Yang Joo Hyuk went back to his seat .

* * *

The distorted space around Soo Hyuk soon stabilised as the message disappeared . When he could see clearly again, he slowly looked around him cautiously . He discovered that he was in a bright, small chamber with polished marble floors, a modest chandelier on the ceiling with a few other things .

“A book?”

In front of Soo Hyuk was a book on a stand .

And behind that, were ten doors with symbols on them .

“And where does that lead to?”

To the right was a tunnel that lead elsewhere .

“This is the Archmage’s subspace……”

A book, ten doors and a tunnel to the right . This was the Archmage’s subspace . After he looked around the chamber, Soo Hyuk then checked his message log .

[Warping to ‘Archmage’s Subspace’ . ]

[You have completed the promotion Quest ‘Successor of Lapis’ . ]

[You have been promoted into the special job, ‘Lapis’ Descendent’ . ]

[You have obtained the skill ‘Archmage’ . ]

After he finished going through the messages, he then opened his character profile .

[User – Soo Hyuk]

Experience: 0%

Vitality: 3040

Mana: 30420

Satiation: 62%

Strength: 14

Agility: 15

His job was changed to ‘Lapis’ Descendent’, but he couldn’t find any changes other than his job . Of course, it was to be expected since he didn’t receive any promotion rewards in the messages .

“Well, I just had to be sure . ”

ραпdα nᴏνa| сom Soo Hyuk had checked hoping that it was a bug, but it didn’t seem to be the case . Soo Hyuk closed his character profile with a dejected expression . However, he still had one more thing to check . Soo Hyuk opened the skill tab and checked for the ‘Archmage’ skill . But his expression soon changed drastically as he exclaimed .
