Modern Day Talisman Crafter

The unconscious man lay on an old rug in the corner of the study, breathing shallowly but steadily. Adam sat nearby, twisting the deactivated Speed ​​Charm between his fingers. Mi-Rae stood at the table, staring at the pale, shiny amulet they had found in the man's pocket.

"This is not just magic," she finished, her voice cracking.

Adam looked up. "What's going on?" this?"

Mi-rae held up the sky, careful not to touch her fingers The edges were "strong... rotten. Whoever did this wasn't just stupid, they wanted to too. It's unstable, it's dangerous."

Aram's face fell. "What's the danger?"

Mi-rae still hadn't answered, the blade slowed down, and a loud noise made the hairs on Aram's arms stand on end. Dark mist began to escape from the paper and swirl through the air like smoke.

Mi-rae. He swore under his breath. Check on the ground "I'm back!" »

people At the beginning of the misty scene, it quickly receded, and a human-like figure appeared above them. Its eyes were blank, its body was a dark wave.

"Do... A ghost?!''Adam shouted and pulled a pacifier from his pocket.

, Mei Rae said, despite the strain, "Absolutely not. "A sign, a warning. But if it's here, Black Veil knows we have her magic."

The figure stepped forward, its voice a distorted whisper. "To Those who interfere with the hijab: your time is limited. "Leave what we have, or we will suffer the consequences."

Adam activated the barrier spell, its protective glow surrounding him and Mi-Rae as the launch continued. The dark energy hit the barrier, sending shockwaves through the walls of the lab.

"A thought?!" Adam shouted as he prepared.

Mi-rae picked up a small bag from the table and sprinkled a handful of powder into it. The particles sparkled as they caught the light, creating a beam-like appearance as the blast continued.

"This will last a few seconds." "We must break this spell—now!"

Adam nodded and took out the fire spell he had cast earlier. He cast it into the evil spell, releasing every ounce of attraction he had. The paper continued to burn, consuming the dark energy in the light.

The projection

let out a cry before fading away and leaving the room in silence.

Adam leaned against the wall with a sigh. - And that's it.

Mi-rae looked at him. "That's why I said to speak slowly." The black veil doesn't play around, Adam. If they think you're a threat, they won't stop until they've dealt with you. "

Adam wiped his forehead, his thoughts racing. "Why would they think of me? I'm just a guy trying to sell religion"

"Because you're not just a kid," Mei Rei cried. "You're the one who has a system that works - a system that works for them."

Adam's stomach turned. He was so focused on understanding the system and surviving the daily hassles, he didn't think about the bigger picture.

The man grunted on the carpet and focused on her. He opened his eyes and lost his vision. "Where... where am I?" »

"Goodbye," Mei Rae said as she knelt down next to him. each "This time. Who are you, and what is the black veil following you?"

The man blinked slowly, his voice hoarse. "My name is Do Hyun. I worked for them. They make fake IDs and sell them to unsuspecting people. But these tricks are full of curses. They harm the user and reduce his power. Sometimes badly. "

Adam felt a chill run down his spine. "Why did they do that?"

Do Hyun's spirit darkened. "The power expands its power. And the person trying to stop them. .." He stepped back and looked back at the amulet that had burned to the ground.

Mi-rae stood with her jaw set. "If what you're saying is true, it's worse than I thought. "

Do Hyun grabbed Adam's hand, surprisingly strong. "You have a system, don't you?"

Adam didn't. "How…"

"They're coming for you," Do Hyun interrupted. "They'll like it, they'll turn on themselves Our goal is to stop them before it's too late. "

Adam's mouth went dry. He raised his hand, stood up, and walked back. "Good. What I needed: more bad guys behind me. How am I going to fight a group like that?"

Mi-rae stood before him with a steady gaze. "We will find a solution. But first we must cover our tracks. If Black Veil had sent us this plan, they would have come after us."

Adam simply nodded. "Okay. What are we doing?"

Mi-rae looks sadly at the door. "Let's go quickly. If they're as organized as Do Hyun said, it won't take long."

Cut: Outside the studio, a black figure appears from the shadows. He pulls in a man who is easy to talk to with his cold, husky voice. "They violated the spell. Strengthen the rescue team. Make sure none of them escape alive."
