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 Klinssmans background? Avid knew it, and it informed his decision to let him enter the Tower of Trials.

Avidhe 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. In other words, being able to correspond with him was an amazing privilege not to be wasted.

What was Avids character? Well, he took principle seriously. Hed offered Klinssman a reward, and even though the request violated the rules, he was duty-bound to fulfill his promise. Was anybody equal to or above Avid?

More and more questions arose, inspired by his most recent venture to the other world. Kang Min-hyuk, try as he might, just couldnt draw a line between Klinssman who seemed to be a simple, salt-of-the-earth type and his mysterious background.

Another question that circled endlessly through Min-hyuks mind was: what secrets dwell in Klinssmans body?

The superhuman endurance that his body showed during the Trials was another enigma. It came out totally unscathedit wasnt normal. Something about Klinssman was very special; indeed, it transcended age, experience, his childhood trauma, education, skillall attempts to understand it constructed an intricate labyrinth in Kang Min-hyuks mind.
