Super Magician: The Magic Network Collapsed Again at the Start

Chapter 1 The Magic Network Collapsed Again

In a daze, a feeling of weightlessness suddenly came over me.

An Yi jolted awake, her body instinctively tensing and straining. In her panic, she grabbed a gap with her right hand, gaining leverage and finally regaining her balance, preventing her from sliding down any further.

"call--"

He took a deep breath, instinctively realizing he had almost fallen off the edge of the bed again.

But the sound of rushing water filled his ears, and the damp, cold wind carried a fishy, ​​sticky odor. His right leg felt like a piece of flesh had been bitten off by a dog, and he was in so much pain that he was twitching.

Something is wrong!
He suddenly opened his eyes and turned his head to look at the scene before him, which made his scalp tingle.

Beneath his feet lay a dark abyss, its depth unknown. His lower body dangled outside, held steady only by a few fingers on his right hand.

Fortunately, the area where his upper body was lying down was a gentle slope, otherwise he would definitely have fallen down.

'I……'

An Yi admitted that she was a little scared, her mind was in a mess, and her legs were weak.

Don't panic, don't panic...

After a little mental preparation, he cleared his mind, slowly turned his head away from his feet, pressed his chest and abdomen against the uneven soil and rocks, and used his hands to find leverage points to slowly crawl upwards.

Four or five minutes passed, and he crawled several meters until he finally reached a relatively flat area.

He took a few minutes to catch his breath and regain some strength. He sat up and nervously looked around at his surroundings.

This is a trap, a huge trap!
Judging by appearance, it is at least several kilometers in diameter, and he is in this pit!

An earthquake?!

An Yi rubbed her face vigorously, trying to calm herself down.

It's cloudy now, but the visibility is okay.

Beneath his feet was a stone pillar made of earth and rocks, leaning against the pit wall, while he was in a dilapidated house on the hillside.

The wooden house was dilapidated, with only the roof jutting out at an angle, casting a shadow. Scattered all around were numerous broken planks, perhaps once part of the house.

Looking around, there are many similar earthen and stone pillars nearby, some high and some low, some strangely shaped, with landslides and collapses occurring at any time.

Perhaps due to geological differences, although other parts of the giant pit are also uneven, most of them are relatively flat, with the high ones approaching the top of the pit and the low ones being dark and bottomless.

Looking around, the pit was filled with dilapidated buildings and debris, as well as... countless corpses and humanoid monsters!

'What did I do here?'

An Yi shrank back, feeling flustered, but her mind became increasingly clear.

The stone pillars underfoot are very steep, and a large amount of water pours down from the top of the giant pit, forming waterfalls. Climbing is extremely difficult, but no monsters are coming here, so it is safe for the time being.

At the far end of the giant pit, where there is no water flow and the slope is gentle, the monsters that rush out from the darkness at the bottom of the pit choose to rush up from there, appearing indistinctly.

Screams, angry shouts, roars... came one after another.

'Cold weapons!'

Whether monsters or humans, they almost all fight using swords, bows, and crossbows. No firearms were seen; instead, strange lights and shadows flashed from time to time.

'what is that? ’

It was too far away to see the details, but everything was too strange, and An Yi felt uneasy.

He looked down at himself. The tattered gray robe was unfamiliar, as were his hands and body. His half-length hair, sticky with sweat, hung down in front of his eyes. It was a tea-gray color with a silvery sheen.

'That's clearly not me!'

crossed!
Where am I?

The thought had barely formed when a strange image suddenly appeared in my mind:

A silver twenty-sided die spins endlessly, throwing out fragments of memories, which flash back like a slideshow.

The original owner's name was Anser Holreven, 21 years old this year, and he had lived in the trading city of Baldur's Gate since childhood.

Having witnessed the power of arcane magic in his childhood, he craved magic like a madman. However, his parents were ordinary people who ran a bakery and had no worries about food and drink, but they couldn't afford to hire a professional to teach him.

At the age of 16, the Fabian Tower in Brampton publicly recruited apprentices. Anther's parents could not dissuade him and spent all their savings to send him in, making him a magic apprentice.

But the private mage tower is just a money-making scheme. Fabian only holds one class a week, and leaves immediately after finishing, without caring whether you understand it or not.

The original owner's intelligence was only slightly above average. After five years of diligent study, spending tens of gold coins each year, he only learned two spells: Light and Freeze Ray, both Evocation spells. He simply couldn't learn more difficult spells like Wizard's Hand or Magical Tricks.

Today, Anser was studying arcane knowledge in his room as usual when suddenly the earth shook violently, houses collapsed, and a violent explosion of magical energy occurred. The East District and most of Brampton disappeared into the ground, leaving behind an irregular giant crater.

The giant crater connected to the Underdark, and countless underground creatures rushed into the city, looting and killing. Outlaws also took the opportunity to cause chaos, and Baldur's Gate was in complete disarray.

The mage tower stood on the edge of the giant pit, narrowly avoiding falling in, but faced with the sudden turn of events, dozens of apprentices panicked.

When everyone found their mentor Fabian in the meditation room, he was bleeding from his face and on the verge of death. He only managed to say one sentence, "The magic network has collapsed," before he died on the spot.

The magic network... has crashed again!

As is well known, the goddess of magic has always been plagued by misfortunes, and the magic network has collapsed more than once. The Arcane Plague (magical plague) that makes spellcasters tremble was caused by the assassination of the third-generation goddess of magic, Midnight, by the god of murder, Cyric.

It now seems that the fourth generation of the Goddess of Magic is probably gone.

Just as everyone was in a state of panic and disarray, two gray dwarves led a group of goblins and orc slaves into the mage tower.

The mage tower was badly damaged and no longer had any protective capabilities, so the apprentices could only flee for their lives.

But the human heart is more treacherous than any monster.

As the apprentices charged into the encirclement, First Assistant Instructor Gais used the Earth Shaping spell to destabilize the mage tower, causing it to tilt and its edges to collapse. Several apprentices, including Anser, and monsters fell into the crater.

Before the original owner fell, she saw Gus escape in the chaos, clutching her mentor's belongings in her arms. She felt a deep resentment, but there was nothing she could do.

The good news is he didn't die from the fall; the bad news is the gray dwarf who fell with him also survived, but instead received a Mind Wedge and kicked him off the pillar.

The memory ends abruptly here; barring any unforeseen circumstances, the original owner didn't make it through and died.

'This... is actually the continent of Forgotten Realms in Dungeons & Dragons!' An Yi was shocked.

现在是谷地开垦历1699年夏潮之月7月6日，距离“博德之门：坠入阿弗纳斯”事件（1492年）已经过去两百多年，距离发生奥法之劫的蓝焰之年1385年足有三百多年。

In Anser's memory, one of his ancestors moved from Luskan to Eltoril just as the Holy City fell, and Eltoril was dragged into the first of the nine hells, Aphonas.

Fortunately, our ancestor was not in the city at the time and was lucky enough to survive. He fled along the Chongsa River to the Bodhi Gate.

'Your luck is far worse than your ancestors', Anser.'

However, falling into the Underdark is much better than falling into the Ninth Hell.

An Yi thought to himself, "Since I've transmigrated, I might as well live well with my new identity and new name."

In his past life, he was just a lowly wage earner, with no ties and no future. Apart from virtual online entertainment, he really had nothing to be attached to.

He shifted his body to ease the stiffness, then looked at his injured right calf.

The muscles were swollen and purple, but not deformed, and the toes and ankles could still move slightly.

'There shouldn't be a fracture.'

Anser listened intently, but the sound of the water was too loud, and he could not hear anything coming from the top of the stone pillar.

'With the roof providing cover, the gray dwarves on the stone pillars shouldn't be able to see this place.'

The stone pillar was very steep, and the gray dwarf was injured. Even if he were to be found, he probably wouldn't dare to come down.

After confirming that he was not in immediate danger, he immediately focused his attention on the endlessly spinning silver die deep in his mind.

'This must be my cheat code.'

He felt a surge of excitement; this might be the key to escaping his current predicament.

The die is a 20-sided die, the most common type in Dungeons & Dragons rules. It is entirely silver, with a special symbol on each face, but all faces are dull and gray.

Anser tried to touch the dice with his mind, and a vague message entered his mind.
