An Ordinary Black Mage?

Truly many people were misunderstood.

When people heard someone awakened ‘black magic,’ they usually thought of things like craving souls, blood and bones everywhere, and being clumped with evil, but the actual work we, who awakened black magic, did was to be deployed to specific places or targets that couldn’t be solved by human power, or otherwise avoided sites, to clean up the battlefield.

“This site is relatively clean, isn’t it?”

He went out to the site after receiving a request from the Awakener Association, and after looking around, he immediately examined the countless monster remains scattered on the floor and emitted mana.

Then, he drew a magic circle according to the countless pieces of information engraved in his head while simultaneously awakening black magic by utilizing the blood spilled from the monster corpses.

Seven years had passed since his awakening.

It was desperate at the time he first awakened black magic.

This was because the image of black magic known to the world, judging by fantasy novels and the like, was the trademark of the evilest of evils, or a bit-part villain.

Furthermore, because he did not properly know the lives of those who awakened black magic before him, he certainly painted a picture of dying a miserable death amidst all sorts of persecution and misunderstandings, but the reality was a job category that was needed in too many places.

“Seong-chan, finish up there and help me out over here too!”

Just as the magic circle was being completed, there was a woman shouting toward him, and he turned his head to meet her eyes and replied that he understood.

‘Go Yu-jin, the CEO of our company, age 27, a tremendous beauty, and her personality is also easy-going so she receives advances from many men, but…’

Just then, Go Yu-jin used black magic, and after all sorts of corpses and filth around gathered together, a giant ragged golem revealed its form.

And he clicked his tongue while watching Go Yu-jin naturally move toward that golem and dig into the interior.

‘She would be very popular if she just didn’t show that kind of appearance…’

Her black magic was specialized as a Golem Meister, and although she could make a golem out of anything, it was in a state of being considered an object of avoidance despite being a very outstanding ability in that she had to personally board it to move that golem.

But from the perspective of someone using the same black magic, the single fact that she could board the golem seemed like a quite great ability.

‘Compared to that, I have too few characteristics…’

In the case of awakening, it was largely divided into three types.

The specialized type that became absorbed in one kind of power could be said to be a form similar to the previous Go Yu-jin, and it was divided into offensive types and supportive types.

In the case of the offensive type, since all abilities were specialized in the attack system, it could be seen as being absorbed in one thing in a way, but it could be said to be a little different from the specialized type.

Anyway, the supportive type was the same; because the number of types of abilities that could be used was very large, they showed a clear difference in ability depending on how they were operated.

But the problem was that there were cases that were not included in those three types.

That was the ‘All-Meister.’

It could be called an all-weather ability type that could use everything in black magic, but the problem was that instead of being able to do everything, there was a chronic problem, and that was none other than a lack of ‘mana.’

It was because of one penalty, which was the penalty of increased mana consumption.

To that extent, when using magic, the power of the magic could be strengthened, but the mana consumption was so enormous that it meant mana expressed as the commonly called ‘premature’* mana.

‘Although it’s on the high side compared to others… It’s still a shame.’

Just then, light erupted from the completed magic circle, and soon a ragged golem was formed and looked down at him.

So, when he pointed to the debris collection truck parked on one side, it was a ragged golem that naturally moved its steps and entered the vehicle on its own.

‘It was fortunate that I wasn’t thrown into a battlefield where blood was rampant; the battlefield wasn’t very pleasant.’

Someone enjoyed seeing blood on the battlefield; they used to enjoy being looked up to while expressing pride and complex emotions about having become strong themselves.

However, since he was quite far from that kind of person, he was satisfied with this work now.

Just then, Go Yu-jin also deactivated the large ragged golem on top of the vehicle and moved her steps outside to come out, and seeing that appearance, he felt like he knew why people avoided her.

“Isn’t it uncomfortable?”

“Even if it’s uncomfortable, there’s nothing I can do. My ability is just like this, you know?”

It was Go Yu-jin, whose entire work clothes were smeared with monster filth and blood.

She seemed like she would be displeased herself, but she acted naturally as if she was used to it now.

In fact, from the perspective of watching this, there were no major complaints; rather, it would be right to say he was enjoying the view, as her voluptuous body was smeared with blood and filth, her figure revealed as it was to the point of being alluring.

‘Her looks did it all…’

However, the eye candy ended here.

There was a magic that Go Yu-jin could also do but for some reason did not use well herself, and when he lightly emitted mana and used the ‘Clean’ magic for this, the dirtiness that had been smeared all over her body was washed away in an instant.

Was it because of that sensation?

Shivering all over her body and blushing, Go Yu-jin looked at me and said.

“Seriously, you know you shouldn’t use this magic recklessly, right?”

He didn’t particularly know why she was like that, so he nodded his head as if he roughly understood and spoke while looking at the remaining debris.

“I think carrying it just one more time will be enough, so I’ll handle it. Let’s finish up quickly and go rest.”

“Yes, sounds good!”

Generally, requests coming to black mages were one or two cases a day, and there were many days when there were none at all, but most were not combat but this kind of site cleanup.

Thanks to that, unlike the image of a black mage seen by the world, he was making money while cleaning up comfortably today.
