Episode 59: The Reward Beyond Dimensions (1)

So much joy stemmed from realizing that he had safely ferried his skills between the two dimensions. Kang Min-hyuk was able to reflect upon his return, and questions arose from this process.

The first: What is Klinssman’s background? Avid knew it, and it informed his decision to let him enter the Tower of Trials.

Avid…he was an intriguing character, too. A seventh circle archmage and president of the Royal Academy of Magic. By all reckoning, he was the highest power in the UK at the time. The British Academy of Magic is a symbolic group where all power is concentrated, and Avid, overseeing it, was equivalent to royalty.

The superhuman endurance that his body showed during the Trials was another enigma. It came out totally unscathed…it wasn’t normal. Something about Klinssman was very special; indeed, it transcended age, experience, his childhood trauma, education, skill…all attempts to understand it constructed an intricate labyrinth in Kang Min-hyuk’s mind.
