Looking back, it seemed like I was always obsessed with something.

“Oh, Seojin, you’re really making unbelievable plays!”

“I can’t believe it! How can you do such ridiculous things after being a professional gamer for over 10 years?”

Even in my first life, I was obsessed with games.

“Are you really watching this right now?”

“I’ve seen many wizards, but your talent is something I’ve never seen before. Will you come with me?”

“What… what did you do? Did you actually make that happen after seeing magic once?”

In my second life, I was obsessed with magic.

“You have a body that seems to have fallen from the sky. You’re absorbing the essence of nature without any filter.”

“On top of that, you have a perfect body for mastering martial arts. Could you be the legendary celestial being that was only in myths?”

“It seems likely. Will you not come to the famous martial arts school with me?”

“Goodness, you’ve reached the pinnacle, surpassing the norm and becoming an extraordinary existence. Will you not have a wedding ceremony with me?”

Even in my third life, I was obsessed with martial arts.

Well, I died in all of them, and they didn’t end well.

“I wonder what kind of life awaits me this time.”

I was a little excited.

“Do you have any thoughts of becoming a professional gamer?”

It was one day.

The day when I was just studying and playing games to relieve stress.

I suddenly received a question about whether I wanted to become a pro gamer.

At that time, I simply refused.

I felt like I was going crazy with special high school entrance exam preparation, and I wanted to run away, but I didn’t think my parents would allow it.

Now, I have confidence that I could succeed, but back then, my parents were like the sky to me.

I even thought that I had to listen to my parents to succeed unconditionally.

But the person who offered me a contract was persistent.

“These days, pro gamers are not treated as poorly as they used to be. If you can’t make it, the company can also support you as a streamer. Are you willing to consider the offer?”

“No, thank you.”

“If you join our pro team, you can also go to a good university. Our foundation sponsors…”

“Rather than that, I have to go to a specialized high school right away, so I have to refuse.”

“…You’re in middle school?”

“Yes.”

“Could you, p-please let us meet your parents just once?”

And so, that person visited our house.

“Could you let your child become a pro gamer?”

“My child?”

“We will take care of all the support your child needs. Clothing, living expenses, etc… We can provide everything. If you entrust Seojin to us for just 1 year… No, if you entrust him to us for just half a year, we will show you the results.”

“…I will think about it a little more.”

Not long after, my parents entrusted me to the pro team.

The conditions set by the director who scouted me at that time were incredibly groundbreaking.

Well, later I found out that it was because I was the granddaughter of the CEO of a subsidiary company and had significant authority.

Anyway, my life took a sudden turning point from that moment.

I don’t think my parents ever intended for me to step into the world of professional gaming, even if they passed away, but they surprisingly gave their permission quite easily, which shocked me a little.

“No way, Han Seojin! Is that really the kind of play only a middle school student can show?”

“This player is incredibly famous. They’re not good at the game at all, but they reached Challenger with just their physical skills, right?”

My life changed 180 degrees from that point on.

Even though I was called world-class in the game multiple times, my talent was still not enough, and thanks to my parents giving birth to me well, my appearance was really decent.

I could also take care of my career as well as anyone else, and I even won in an international tournament.

There were also many fans. Among them, there were occasionally some dangerous people, but I was grateful to them for loving me.

…Whenever I received tired, creepy letters during my relationships, well, it was eerie, but oh well.

Gaming, which was just a hobby and a stress reliever, gave me a new life.

And in the Last Dance, I won the final World Cup.

Bang!! Bang bang!!

On the way back home, I was hit by a car and died.

*

When I transitioned from my first life to my second life.

I was reborn in a fantasy world.

“Die! Die!!”

“hahahahaha! The silver half of their left ear belongs to us! Chase them all down!!”

I was possessed by a boy soldier who died on the battlefield.

At the time, everything was confusing… but I had a strong desire to live, so I was able to escape from the battlefield.

Looking back now, it was an incredible stroke of luck that I was able to escape.

But then I was captured in a village.

“From now on, your name is Hansik.”

“What on earth…”

“It means you’re a slave of the village. Should I start by cutting your Achilles tendon so you can’t escape?”

“No, looking at this kid’s appearance, he might fetch a good price when he grows up…”

Fortunately, I wasn’t cut.

It was because a passing wizard saved me.

“An unusual constitution? It doesn’t feel like a high affinity for magic power… but you possess magic power entirely. Your magic control… Hey, you just glanced in this direction, did you see that?”

“M-Mr. Wizard? This kid is clearly a war orphan…”

“Am I supposed to know? Oh, I see. It would be better to burn down this village before any strange rumors spread.”

“P-Please spare me, Mr. Wizard!”

“The Golden Tower will guarantee this child’s talent, so be quiet. If anyone tries to pry into this child’s status, spread the word that the Annihilator has appeared.”

Blonde with blue eyes.

And a woman with impressive long ears. She was more like a martial artist with slightly revealing clothes than a wizard. The woman who called herself the Annihilator led me to the Golden Tower.

Fortunately, I had talent.

No, if I say this, all the wizards of the tower might try to attack me.

I was a genius.

The unparalleled genius who could not be compared to any human.

Is it because of the celestial talent mentioned by the extermination master?

I was able to use any magic perfectly.

I could use magic without the need for hand seals or incantations, and I could modify and use magic as I pleased.

Before the age of 20, I had woven five rings.

By the age of 29, I had woven eight rings.

I also created a magic that I called my signature.

My alias is the sorcerer of the sun, moon, and day.

And I became one of the newly risen nine dukes of the empire, who created the magic discipline known as amplification.

I thought I was living in peace, but…

The demon realm invaded.

“My name is Belzebub, the king of the third abyss of the abyss of the deep.”

A huge swarm of insects. Shaped like a dragon, the demon king first targeted my tower.

“Indeed, you are the prey that the demon king has taken an interest in. You should be able to rise to the empty seat of the demon king! So die first!”

With incomprehensible gibberish, it, made up of all sorts of insects and in the form of a dragon, rushed at me.

I attacked, about to die, and was ultimately killed by the insects.

Still, it was somewhat satisfying to be persistent in the face of those who ignored me as a human until I died.

“Even so, I died.”

This was my second life.

The third life was in the world of the martial arts.

I was born in a quiet and secluded family in the countryside, and I began learning martial arts in this world.

I mastered martial arts while focusing on magic.

“There is nothing to learn here.”

I realized this fact in less than two hours after attempting to learn martial arts.

Feeling the limitations of a quiet and secluded family in the countryside, I decided to leave home.

My parents didn’t care.

Because they had about fifteen children.

Thanks to my father, who had no fortune but plenty of lust, the potential heirs fighting to inherit the family gave up the fight.

I could receive a fair amount of money, and I began learning martial arts in the martial world.

“You, I like you. I’ve never seen anyone with a face like yours in all of the Central Plains. Will you marry me?”

… I intended to learn.

Of all people, I caught the eye of the wandering celestial horse in the martial world.

As if giving me a choice, I had no choice but to accept due to the gazes of the people around me.

Forced to join the martial sect, I mastered magic there.

I thought magic would be like black magic, but it was neater than I had expected.

Of course, there were those driven mad by magic invading their minds, and there were many ruthless individuals due to the law of the jungle.

The prime often came quickly, but many experienced physical decline or lost their sanity.

On the other hand, it could also be seen as evidence that most robust individuals are strong.

There were also those in Sapar who specialized in such things.

The reason why the Bright Path became the Dark Path was because they were exclusive, and their first value proposition was survival of the fittest. And because they had conflicts with the royal family, they were called the Dark Path.

As a result, there were many who fled from the Dark Path… the Bright Path.

Their refuge.

It wasn’t a bad new refuge.

…Anyway, they became the leader of a Thousand Demons and learned the principles of the Dark Path, regaining their power from their previous life.

They wanted to combine circle-style and martial arts, but from the middle, they focused solely on learning martial arts.

Even though I tried my best, it seemed impossible for me to master both in this lifetime.

“I can’t see any further progress here.”

To break through the wall of ultimate perfection and see the next level, they entered seclusion.

The wall was solid.

So, just for a moment, they slipped out of the Dark Path to see the situation in the Middle Realm.

To be honest, they wanted to go outside and see the sights, and they also wanted to see the martial arts of the righteous path.

That’s when trouble started.

“You, with the half-half face, know your place.”

Because of my half-and-half face, because I wanted to act cool in front of women, more and more troublemakers started picking fights.

Starting with the miscellaneous items of the Namgoong family, it was mostly the miscellaneous items of the Paldasega family who picked fights.

“You, using dirty tricks!”

I could use dirty tricks, but I mostly subdued them with martial arts.

Nevertheless, they couldn’t accept it and became even more aggressive.

Before I knew it, I had gained a nickname.

The Jade-Faced Horse.

I never even touched a woman in the central plains, yet I gained such a nickname.

As a result, everything became entangled.

The riffraff of the Sa Faction, the hypocrites of the Jung Faction, and those who came to support me from the Ma School, all aiming for me.

Dealing with them, I suddenly found myself in the midst of a martial arts controversy.

Well, it wasn’t all bad. Fighting all kinds of things, my experience grew and my martial arts skills improved.

Just before turning 30, I reached the elevated state of Hyeon Gyeong.

But perhaps that was the problem.

“So, you were a famous child in the Ma School.”

While passing through the Volcano Faction, I encountered three no-goes.

Geumje, Namgung Daeryong.

Dohwang, Baengju Hyeok.

The leader of the martial world and the top swordsman of the Jung Faction, Seoryong Hyeon.

When counting strength in the Jung Faction, these three no-goes blocked my path.

And the Ma School’s plum blossom swordsmen surrounded me, engaging in battle.

After fighting day and night for seven days, I managed to kill some of them.

“Is this all the strength that a mere 30-year-old can muster?”

“Monstrous Strength…indeed, the nickname of Cheong’an’s Unnamed seems fitting. Does the Ma School breed such monsters?”

I, too, have died.

Nevertheless, the impact will be considerable.

It’s because the magic I crafted by igniting everything I’ve accumulated so far, not by anyone else, transcends imagination in its power.

The last thing I saw was the volcanic eruption turning into flames, becoming a volcano.

“If it’s that guy, he’ll unify it on his own.”

A strange sense of floating, as if my soul has detached.

It disappeared, and I realized that I had once again undergone reincarnation.

“This time.”

In a world with a system and abilities called characteristics resembling superpowers.

I think I can enjoy myself in this world as well.
