What kind of wizard are you if you don't have any entries?

A dark, dense forest.

The campfire crackled and popped as it burned.

A well-equipped five-person adventurer team is taking their final rest around the campfire.

Their adventurer party accepted the kingdom's order to slay the evil dragon.

Along the way, they traversed steep mountain ridges, muddy swamps, and dangerous underground areas, clearing away many monsters that plagued the villagers and making numerous contributions to the kingdom's borders, gradually becoming "heroes" in people's eyes!

A hero should do what a hero should do.

They arrived deep in a dense forest of towering trees.

Next, they will venture into the dragon's lair, vanquish the dragon, rescue the kingdom's princess, and return in triumph amidst flowers and applause.

"Vilin," leaning against an oak tree and taking a nap with his eyes closed, reminisces about the wonderful night he spent with that fiery and passionate girl in the Black Rock Town tavern.

Even though she was a hot, unfamiliar girl, he had a strange feeling of familiarity, as if... he had felt this way more than once!

Velin slowly opened his eyes and looked around.

Towering trees, a thin mist, a burning campfire, and a small team resting and preparing.

A burly and robust warrior captain.

A nimble and accurate archer.

Scouts who roam in darkness and shadow.

A quiet but kind healing nun.

And then there's the ruthless, taciturn, and aloof spellcaster, "Velin," himself.

The unfamiliar environment had a strange sense of familiarity; he seemed to have seen this place before, and this kind of scene before.

However, there is a sense of estrangement and unfamiliarity with teammates who are together day and night.

Suddenly, Verin felt very tired and exhausted.

He had a vague feeling that there were still things he should do but hadn't done yet.

He longed to stop and rest, to carefully consider whether he had forgotten anything during this time.

As he pondered, a look of confusion appeared in Verin's eyes.

"Gentlemen!"

The adventurer's party leader spoke, interrupting Verin's thoughts.

"After this adventure, it's time for me to retire!"

The veteran captain's speech was well received and appreciated by the team.

"Now that I've hunted that evil dragon, it's time for me to go back and get married to my fiancée."

The elven archer's face was beaming with a happy smile.

"After hunting this evil dragon and gaining more experience, I will be able to break through my current level. I have been waiting for this for several years."

The scout's words were also full of anticipation.

"The abbot has written to me, saying that the monastery gates will be officially opened for me after this perilous journey!"

The young nun was also overjoyed.

"Is this...right?"

Hearing his teammates' extremely frightening remarks, Verin felt inexplicably terrified.

"Can...can we really hunt that dragon?"

He asked in a murmur, almost unconsciously.

"certainly!"

The captain gave an affirmative answer.

"We are about to become heroes who hunt down evil dragons!"

All the team members firmly believed this.

"Master, what about you?"

The captain looked at Verin and asked.

After a moment of thought, struggle and confusion resurfaced in Verin's eyes.

"I...I feel so tired, I really want to rest for a while."

"No... After completing this adventure, you will receive the long-awaited letter of recommendation to the Mage Tower, and you will be able to go to the distant land of mages for further study and training in magic."

An unprovoked voice echoed in Verin's mind.

It was as if his abnormality had disrupted something, and a mysterious force was trying to correct it.

"No...no..."

Verin shook his head and muttered to himself.

"That's not what I want."

He lowered his head, a look of pain on his face.

"No, no... this isn't my path. Mistakes must be corrected, but the one who needs correcting isn't me, it's you. You're the one who's wrong!"

Suddenly, Weilin clenched his fists, veins bulged on his forehead, muscles trembled all over his body, and his nails dug deep into his palms.

"Damn bastard!"

He roared with a ferocious expression and at the top of his lungs.

"Get out of here...get out of here!"

The roar echoed through the dense forest.

The mist in the dense forest trembled slightly in response to his roar.

It seemed as if some force was restraining his spirituality.

Even the rules of the world in the book cannot conceal his profound golden foundation.

Suddenly, a thick, powerful, invisible spiritual tentacle burst forth from the depths of Verin's soul.

Splash...

The twisted mental tentacles vibrated at a high frequency in the air, emitting a buzzing sound.

"breathe……"

"breathe……"

The moment the spiritual tentacles broke free, Verin felt like a drowning man breathing in long-lost fresh air.

He was breathing heavily.

"I...I..."

His previously hesitant and confused eyes quickly became calm and rational.

"I am not some adventurer party spellcaster."

"I am Valin, the alchemist of Merlin Tower."

"I...I...I've been caught in a mysterious scroll!"

"I've already relived this adventurer's story three times."

"This is...the world of a book!"

Having broken free from the cycle of stories in the book and quickly regained himself, Verin recalled his previous experiences and was suddenly filled with fear.

"If I hadn't awakened to my own consciousness in time, and had continued to immerse myself in the story world for more than ten cycles, I probably would have completely integrated into the story and become a part of the world within the book."

"The methods of the wizarding world? Truly, they're impossible to guard against!"

Verin, who had just awakened to self-awareness, frowned.

The world within the book!

He had a clear understanding of the many wizarding texts in the Wizarding Tower.

Ancient wizards used a world as raw material to create all sorts of stories, eventually collecting the origins of the world into ancient books, forming various chapters about the world within those books.

For example, the famous "Gulaid: The Lost Chapter"

【Ancient Wizards: World Volume】

Kingdom: Dark Age

These books, and so on, each possess their own independent world within the book.

Some allow wizards to enter and experience the stories of a particular world.

Some places allow young wizards to enter, train, learn, and grow through battle.

Some even go so far as to bring the wizarding world into their world, simulating battles with other extraordinary creatures.

world!

In the hands of wizards, they can be easily molded into whatever shape they desire.

"The constant looping within the story is somewhat similar to the tropes in 'Gulad: The Lost Chapter'."

"Although I broke free from my constraints and awakened my self-awareness, I was unaware of what was happening outside."

"Perhaps the guy who collected me has already escaped with the world in the book."

"In the world of the book, no matter how much I struggle, I am ultimately just dancing in the enemy's cage."

"and……"

Verin rubbed his temples, and anxiety gradually crept in.

"I know too little about the [Gulard: The Lost Chapter] and don't know the exact way out."

"Although I can loop through the story again and again, trying to find different endings and see which ending will allow me to get out, the problem is that as the story loops, I will get deeper and deeper into it."

"If you become completely trapped in something before you find a true way out, you'll never have a chance to get out."

"You only realize how little you know when you need to use it!"

"Why doesn't all that damn knowledge just automatically pop into my head?!"

"Ve...Velin, what's wrong?"

At that moment, a slightly panicked and wary voice came from the side.

Vilin looked around.

The other four members of the adventurer's party were watching them warily, weapons in hand, looking alert.

As Verin regains his self-awareness, everything about him quickly returns to normal.

He rediscovered himself, and naturally rewrote his place in the world of the book.

The level of a level 5 wizard apprentice, the powerful Blood Demon Body, various powerful hidden attributes, even his original wizard ring, and the [Etheric Burning Armor] under his wizard robe.

However, the wizard's robes covering him made him look no different from before.

Verin, having regained his senses, glanced over the group of people in the squad.

"They're all at level one, except the captain who's at level two."

"To send someone of this caliber to slay a dragon? He really dared to write this story! This is the worst way to send someone to their death!"

Just as Verin was pondering whether to continue following the storyline to find a way out, or to break the mold...

"Vellin...you're awake?"

"This is wonderful!"

A clear, melodious voice drifted slowly through the forest mist!

"Who?"

Verin raised an eyebrow.
