Chapter 1
Hyun Wook is investigating the blown up area.
No powder left, no machinery signs left.
How can such large hole can appear overnight?
If that kid(Ji Yuhl) is to be trusted, it is Crimson Robe who made this.
He asks what KARA has found from site.
They found excessive amount of Black Mana. Seems it was not limited to labs and prisons.
But Black Mana by itself can't have destructive power.
To have effect, it must had a dispenser. But such thing has not been found after 'Killer Jack ' incident.
It would take more then simple madness to do this.
New is flowing, it talks about people worrying tax rise because of 'Magic Army' being made next year.
Some people are wondering if they can enter too.
Crimson Robe sees the news, then turns away.
Passerby luahgt at out of date Crimoson Robe style, not knowing he is the real one.
Some bullies are punching a kid. The reason is that kid alone plays Magician in the Sorcery Lab game when others are all playing Human.
Ji Yuhl stops them.
The bullies laugh his short height.
Flash back to Ji Yhl and Hyun Wook talking in his apartment.
Ji Yuhl will help his new 'legal guardian' if he gives a thing he always wanted.
A friend.
He offers the kid who was bullied to become friends in blank, dark face. The kid terrifies and agrees.
We are cut to where CEO of the game is kidnapped to.
He rambles at boring white room and cheap coffee.
The Sun's members are wondering what he is, to show no fear in such situation. Then one of them puts a monitor in front of him.
It shows Cloud's severed head.
Chapter 2
CEO James Lee cough*Chris*cough is shocked for a split second, but realizes they could not have killed their homunculus so easily.
Inside Them's chamber, they are reported no eye wave and no heart beating change.
Icarus says he must not be related to Cloud.
But Sun disagrees, it is normal to be shocked at sudden severed head.
Cloud is alive.
An Incubus asks him, what is his relation with Chris Lee?
Cloud spits and says the fish to shut up.
Some scientist are wondering how much Cloud got strong to mental attacks.
Built to be defensive against such thing, with emotion control chip broken, 'will' was made and fortified its mind.
But soon he will fall and follow them again like a dog.
The Sun's hologram shows up in front of Chris Lee. And introduces itself as leader of this organization. Then ask what was CEO's intention when making the Sorcery Lab. Who is him?
The answer is, he is someone who will blast all of Them away.
The Sun laughs, and asks if he is a Dosa, since all Magicians except Crimson Robe are extinct now.
No comment.
How Game will defeat 'Them'? Is it hypnosis magic installed within in game?
No such tricks. What is installed is 'Truth'.
The Sun orders Icarus to kill him.
Icarus waves his Death Sword, but Chris teleports part of his arm with Sword hold behind him.
Dimension Cut
Chris sees that this magician would be the legendary magician who killed Daniel. Icarus the student of Blind Wolf.
Icarus breaks 5 Infinite like glass.
A raging Indian Magician is like a well sharpened spear.
Raw power would be above what similarly classed.
Chris sends Icarus's Death Sword behind him to stab himself, but it is no use.
So he sends next blow other side of him.
Chris believes with his old body direct fight is impossible.
He will be a shield then.
Chapter 3
An old Indian gives Diary that begins again to younger Indian named Silent Stone, saying his own time is over after 800 of life.
He asks to guard it well with life, for it has part of time wrap magic in it. That could distort world into chaos.
Silent Stone promises, which convinces the older Indian to return to Mother Earth.
Silent Stone leaves the village, to learn many magics around the world and become strong to carry his duty well.
For first spot, he will go to land or Master 'Hong', Korea.
He arrives at Korea, which was going through many demo and strikes against dictation.
He meets up with (then younger) Ham Ji Jon. After proving he is Indian magician who carries Master Blind Wolf's student by some magic, he is introduced to Whalbing-dang, the group Master Hong used to lead. But the leader is changed long ago, and Chris is leading what is left of the group.
Chris remembers the day, saying he and Silent Stone, now Icarus should never met.
Their artifacts met.
And Icarus met 'Her'.
Icaus sees woman while he is in a library studying Korean.
Then he is seen with (all three younger) Ham Ji Won (Later Ham Ji Jon the Dosa), Ma Dong Wook(Later the last leader of Magicians).
Icarus says he fell in love with a human woman.
Ji Jon and Dong Wook is horrified.
That is a taboo.
Chapter4
It is greatest taboo of magic users.
Do not love human.
Ma Dong Wook and Ham Ji Jon checks the woman Icarus fell in love, and notices she is blind.
They wonder if that would make this situation better, if she can't find out about magic?
But no. Nephlim, the child between Magic User and Human who have either over powerful mana or unseen original mana.
So the other magic users have decided to sacrifice her.
Then 'Them' erased all of Icarus memory except anger of her death.
The Sun appears behind Icarus and says he asked for the memory delete himself. And if the CEO guy is truly what he says he is, he is also responsible for her death.
Chris says yes, he had to do something with a human who have been exposed to magic.
It took him 400 years to understand.
After being robbed of time magic and locked away, what made him truly painful was Daniel, with his memory erased committed suicide.
He raged and hated the three Masters.
But Maste Hong came and offered to take Chris with him.
Chris then said Magicians are cruel, killing people because of their rules.
Hong says he understands the hate. The magic users can't predict everything. But Chris would know, it was greed of himself that killed Emma and Daniel.
Then Master Hong trained to be act for greater good.
After all, a fine example what happens humans know magic is standing right behind Icarus.
Magic used by humans will demand so much sacrifice.
Chris summons Cyclops, a machine like magic weapon.
So he asks Icarus, the betrayer who sold magic to humans, to wake up.
Chapter 5
Icarus says even the Cyclop's lasers can't break his Black Shield
Chris says it is not his intention. And shoots the ceiling instead. Making a hole through it.
Then disappears, saying if teleport doesn't work, all he has to do is dig hole himself.
The Sun orders Icarus to destroy Chris no matter what.
Ji Yuhl is seen studying in school, which was in winter vacation but having some extra class.
He is disappointed, and wishes he can make friends in new semester.
(He also grumbles why he is in window side corner, which author puts note saying it is easy to draw.)
The kid next to him laughs at him for using paper and pen, saying he should get some pad to study.
Jy Yuhl wonders if all city kids study with such thing.
The bullies from before are talking with their leader, who vows to make up even with that new kid.
Meanwhile Ji Yuhl tries to join guys playing basketball.
Then he jumps few meters high, lands on basketball basket, goals and drops down casually.
The bully leader who came to see new kid is freaked out.
Ji Yuhl wonders why everyone is staring him.
Hyun Wook gets a phone call from the school.
He asks if Ji Yuhl let the victim live.
The teacher says it isn't fighting issue. Ji Yuhl jumped few meters to sky.
Chapter 6
Hyun Wook comes to school and covers it up saying Ji Yuhl used some wind magic.
Then he says to Ji Yuhl to be careful next time. Saying even professionals can't jump that high.
He also says any Black Mana related crime will be found and tracked by polices, helping them find Red Hood.
Luna (under name of Im Soo Hi) contacts them and gives info of 3 gangs beheaded body found with trace of Black Mana.
But the cut side itself don't have any trace of it, so the murderer did not used Black Mana alone.
Ji Yuhl asks if he can follow.
Hyun Wook says of course.
Red Hood comes into his hideout, gasping.
Raven's 'ghost' taunts him saying even such small 'malice' hurts him because he has been naive.
And also goes on to say it remembers everything, even the memory he choose to forget.
Flash back to Raven right before dying, asking Crimson Robe's real name. He says he forgot it himself.
Back to now, the 'ghost' amuses itself saying it wants to burst off the dam of memories and pull them all out at once.
But it will do it slowly.
Who did he kill?
Father?
Mother?
Flash back to very young Crimson Robe holding his sister. Watcing an adult saying they are horrible beings.
Which abusive parent did he kill?
Chapter 7
People in various places are celebrating New Year.
A news caster talks about Magic Army is going to accept volunteers from first day of next year.
Then it is hacked, and a mysterious person with yellow Tattoo is shown.
People wonder if it is the game advertisement.
Then the person talks.
It is a topic about one species's extinction.
The Sun is angered, shouting orders to stop him.
Icarus goes to check on Cloud. Scientist there says the re-mind control is 86% done.
Then Icarus says he will give Cloud one more chance, kill Chris.
Hyun Wook owners if it is the 'Revolution' James Lee talked about.
James Lee says he is under false identity.
He is Chris, a magician.
The city people are living on is City of Dead Sorcerer.
Then TV is cut off.
Hyun Wook, remembering how Chris talked humans are worthless to use magic, is confused he is asking for human's remorse.
Showing up right behind is Chris.
Getting his plan, Hyun Wook says the plan of inciting crowd is very 'politic'. Magicians are not so different from humans, after all.
Chris says it should be enough for other magicians to show up and kill him, but since they didn't, they all must be really dead.
Then he offers 'Truth' to save someone together.
Chapter 8
Hyun Wook has heard all about Magicina's extinction and rise of Magic, which is hard to believe.
He says 'Them' must be very strong in politics, above law.
Then he asks how much 'Magicians' are left.
Chris says it is hard to tell, since most of them were hunted down.
But 'European Magicians' are very few, only Chris, Red Hood and Icarus are left.
'Dosa' are unknown, but they are mostly dead too anyways.
The whole world is like in this way.
'Magician' need sufficient Mana to be born able to use Mana naturally, but with Humans exploiting nature, it was becoming hard to give birth. (Seoul used to be 130mpp hundred years ago, but it is it now 80mpp only.)
Hyun Wook decides he will help by looking inside Magic Police.
Chris says he will go straight to his company, since there would be newscasters there, it would be ironically safe.
Ji Yuhl asks if he really thinks people will move. (They are selfish.)
But Chris can only say maybe.
Walking to his car, Chris wonders how Red Hood made such a hole in ground.
He could be worse then Icarus…
Shaking that though, he orders the driver to go to his company.
But the driver is dead.
And red laser shots are on Chris's head.
Chapter 9
Magic Army surrounds Chris, and Luna shows up then offer a chance to surround and join them.
Flashback shows The Sun ordering her to ask Chris to join them, of course he will reject, then kill him.
Chris don't bother answer and uses his Artifact sword 'Onsaemiro' (As it was in old Korean.)
He also uses dimension alter magic and mind control scroll, but complains his body is too old to fight in action.
Luna says magicians as species will go extinct, then Chris points out Luna is technically a magician too.
She says she is a made being, a human's work.
Luna goes on, saying humans will take over the world with their development, and magicians will go extinct because they have gone lazy by depending on magic.
Magicians are just afraid of humans, they are not into a higher moral code or anything.
Chris wonders whether it is true or not.
And she summons latest invention of magic army, ultimate killer of magicians.
Chapter 10
Magic army wakes up from mind control and return to their formation.
Luna explains the reason magicians are so hard to kill is because they have various magic protection.
So with 'Mana Burn' that burns away mana of a selected target and mobile teleport disruption, even an old magician.
Chris wonders if he is really gonna die.
Then everyone feels fear.
Soldiers are beheaded.
Red Hood appears.
He says he will kill both humans and homunculus.
Luna is happy to see the chance to avenge Raven come so quickly.
She uses mana burn and charges.
But Crimson Robe is still standing with Tattoo on.
Chris considers two options.
One, Mana Burn was just a bluff.
Two, even afar being hit by Mana Burn, his mana is still on.
If it is latter… then it means doom.
Chapter 11
Crimson Robe destroys left soldiers.
Chris decides he has become a monster with overflowing Black Mana.
Then says their fight must be wait to Luna.
She accepts, and notices area around Robe is being ripped away little by little just by his existence. Both Man Burn and Teleport Disruption is broken.
That reminds Chris of who seems to be Icarus.
He asks if Luna can use Death.
She says she cannot do anymore, and it will be negated anyways.
He says he will do it then, but tells her not to backstab.
Then he blocks Red Hood's Death Weapon with his Onsaemiro, the unchanging sword, that is only sword that can block Death magic.
That causes him to grow old, which was vein prevented by the sword. He homes about fangils would leave now.
He tells Luna to go away now, since her tools broken, there is nothing she can do. Red Hood has not gone rampage now, not yet.
People notice something has happened down stairs, they panic thinking it is earthquake. Hyun Wook and Ji Yuhl wakes up.
And Chirs continues people will come down, including Hyun Wook she is currently keeping an watch on.
He says there isa way to stop Hood, but it is a trade secret.
Luna teleports away.
Chris makes a magic wall by scrolls and breaks the seal of his sword.
12
The sword's name is OnSaeMiRo
[Its 'unchanged from what it was orginaly was' in old Korean]
Seal of the sword is broken.
Chris changes into a dude in old peasant cloth shows up. And says Hongildong is not a name of individual, but the name for all who inherit OnSaeMiRo and becomes an 'avatar' that protects the world.
[Hongildong is name of a really famous fictional thief of Korea. Kinda like Robin Hood.]
Then he says they can fight freely in his magic four sided shield to unanswering Hood.
He knows he can't last more then one minute, but if Red Hood did not go berserk yet, it would be enough.
HyunWook comes down by elevator and sees Red Hood fallen down and really old Chris.
JiYuhl guards over unconscious Hood while holding on to OnSaeMiRo, which Chris told him to faint Hood by smashing it against the head if he wakes up.
HyunWook and Chris are talking at top of building, about the 'new toys' of Magic Army.
It can't be made to be used against biological Magicians, which is an extinct race now. They must be trying to get absolute power against other countries.
News talks about strange earthquake and rumors of Red Hood caught on the spot.
The Sun, after hearing report from Luna, murmurs about wanting the sword.
Then he orders her to keep her distance for now, and will give a new plan to kill Red Hood later.
Icarus points that he must have taken Raven's Black Mana.
Angry their product got wrecked, The Sun orders to catch the Hood, dead or alive.
Meanwhile the hood in question finally wakes up.
13
Chris searches news, which completely ignores his 'surprise show'
JiYuhl beats Hood down before he can even talk.
Then HyunWook, JiYUhl and Hood sit around table to talk.
Hood has no memory of what happened, which makes JiYuhl angry that he forgot his father's advice on not losing self into Black Mana .
HyunWook says he understands the sadness of losing family, but says a murder is still a murder.
Chris shows up and tells them to stop go so aggressive against the Hood. That child is going through real hard times as he is. And says while its first time they met, he is the one who can understand Hood best. Then uses some magic on Hood's face.
Red Hood has flash back of some time ago, being confused.
Chris explains Black Mana of Raven must have confused him. And since it was originally his, he would been able to see his true face at last.
In flashback, he sees illusions of Raven sneering at him on the glass shard he holds.
Back to present, his face is revealed, showing scars he made on himself.
14
Scientist are talking in a lab.
The glowing thing is a artificial sunlight shielded container. It has Luna's magic core, infinite darkness.
They are wondering how much mana the Sword, which Red Hood has, would need for this kind of thing necessity.
Back to Hyunwook's place, Hood is looking for the sword, which Chris has.
He explains it's his friend, Daniel's sword, and he is original owner of it.
Crimson robe remembers it from Ji Jon's past reading.
Chris says not to worry, for he does not really want the sword that made his friend, lover and teacher dead.
Hong asked Chris to take OnSaeMiRo or the Sword of RE, so Chris chose the former to take place of head of Hwalbindang. (Hong Gil Dong's vigilante group thingy.)
Because of people being greedy over the Sword of RE Mr Hong kept, he was poisoned to death. They were unforgivable.
Red Hood tells him trying to talk to humans was a dangerous idea, but Chris counters it saying its not what somone who tried to store Black mana for revenge should say.
And if he does lose to darkness, many life will fall, like the people who died when he was almost taken over.
Chris continues he dislikes Crimson Robe, who is showing off magicians as species is really dangerous, and if such incidents happen more, he will kill him himself.
Red Hood is pissed off and asks if he really is strong enough to do so.
Chirs cracks up and says he is uncomparable even to the Ji Jon, baby magician.
Then crashes to mirror behind and is knocked out by Robe.
Hyunwook says he got no repect for elderly.
Crimson Robe says Chris called Ji Jon baby magician, making Ji Yuhl go beserk and Hyunwook having to stop already fainted magician.
15
Chris, after waking up, continues the story how he got the Sword back.
He took the gang that took the the arifact and destroied them in half day.
Of course, he did not kill them, just let them go almost dead with memory gone.
Then he truly learned humans' greed. They were willing to kill a helpless old man for some money.
Thankfully, people did not even know 'Mana' back then, so he got away easily.
By the way, the detective, Back Cha Wok, who took care of the case and even linked the incident back to Abraham Lee(Chris' one of former identity.) was father of Bak Cha Gae, the former Hyunwook's coworker. (The big eyed guy who got killed by Raven.)
It was around then when he first met with Icarus. After some while, Icarus have fallen and told 'The Sun' about the aritifacts.
Red hood asks who is this 'Icarus guy' that comes up so often.
Chiris says he was world's worst romantist, who made his species extinct for love.
Flashback to long past, before Icarus fallen.
He is sitting with a blind woman, who can see some kind of Dark Fire instead of total darkness.
Icarus uses some magic called Spell of Mana Sight
16
Story of Icarus continues on.
Icarus goes to see an Alchemist. (The old man who secretly helped Hyunwook.)
Alchemists are magici users born with little to no mana, abandoned by magician paretnts. They learn and live among the humans and have knowledge of both magic and science, so they get many special skills.
The Alchemist and Icarus talk about helping the blind woman. Icarus says he will sacrifice his eyes for the woman. Alchemist, intrigued that a magician would help a woman, listens on.
Ji Yuhl thinks its was manly thing to do, but Hyun Wook says it was foolish, for if he loses his sight and requires to use the Sight magic, Icarus would had to open Tatoo and found out he was a magician.
Hyunwook is right. And so, for both of them, Icarus left her. Last message was 'Now you don't see such things as Dark Fire, right?'
DONE
