Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

From MC's Perspective:

Brendan City:

The old shopkeeper destroyed his own shop. The aftermath swept away the nearby buildings. Seeing that, the old man broke out in a cold sweat. He realized he had made a grave mistake.

Swoosh!

He fled from the spot. It didn't take long for the authorities to appear. Then they learned about the incident from the nearby shop owners.

"The clothing store bastard got senile," the adjacent building shop owner berated. Read the latest on My Virtual Library Empire

"Catch him before he escapes!"

"We need compensation!"

The other shopkeepers raised their voices as well. Hearing that, the authorities dispatched guards to find the culprit.

Meanwhile,

The middle-aged man who had targeted a wanderer earlier had left the city but stayed nearby. He was planning to join other wanderer groups.

Just as he was waiting, he saw the old shopkeeper frantically leave the city, as if he were running away from someone.

"What happened?" he asked himself.

Shortly afterward,

He noticed the City Guards had left their posts in search of someone.

"Find him!"

"He must be nearby!"

Voices sounded among the guards.

The middle-aged man realized that something had happened. Not long ago, he had visited that old shopkeeper's store. He didn't want to get dragged into any mess.

He knew the power of the Brendan Clan behind Brendan City.

Swoosh!

So he immediately fled from the place, all alone. Vincent Carey didn't know he had escaped another disaster.

Core Circle:

The authorities from the Main Brendan Clan took time to review the reports. In the end, they were not satisfied. They immediately ordered an increase in the price of the Outer Circle tokens starting tomorrow.

They also introduced a new scheme. Now, tourists can visit their inner circle luxury shops, but the price of the inner circle tokens is higher, so not everyone can afford them.

Their main target was wealthy people from the major forces. They knew that some people stopped by here to rest in their city. If they could attract them, then the wealth of Brendan City would increase.

So they ordered the start of the new scheme from tomorrow. It didn't take long for the local authorities to publish and spread the news across their city.

The news reached the ears of wealthy people who were ready to leave. They had come here via airship and could still afford to spend a few more days here.

Some of them decided to take a look, while others regretted it because they were tight on schedule. They had to leave, but they felt at ease knowing that this scheme was permanent. They could visit the inner circle area next time.

Inside the Gregor Mansion:

Time passed.

I don't know how many hours passed before my pain woke me up. The next moment, a flood of memories came to my mind. I opened my eyes and observed my injuries.

The wanderer's clothes had become ashes. Now my upper body was red in color; it was a burn injury. On one side, I focused on examining the injury, while on the other side, the terrible pain was reminding me of its presence.

"So this is a level-9 Magic Spell?" I said to myself.

A hint of fear flashed in my eyes. A look of realization dawned on me. A level-9 Wizard could easily kill me—forget about a Supreme Wizard and above.

Now, I felt happy that I had left the True Elements Society. If I had confronted them, the result would have been the same. I had heard that the enemy was half-step Supreme.

My back went cold thinking about Rhys Perry. If I had encountered their Magic Spell, my mana core would have taken a terrible hit. If something happened to the mana core, it would be the same as being crippled.

Then I collected my thoughts. I began to see whether there were any healing potions left. I doubted they could heal the injuries left by the level-9 Wizard.

After going through my system inventory, I frowned. There was not much left in the inventory. It had been some time since I looted others.

A quick gleam flashed in my eyes. I had no choice but to buy healing potions from shops outside. According to the old man, the inner circle shops are better than the outer circle shops. You can find high-grade healing potions there.

After gaining some clarity, I tried to stand up. After getting up, I walked to the control room. When I got there, I saw the changes in the control mirror.

The clothing shop outside was nowhere to be seen. Instead, the place was covered with debris and rubble. I could see someone clearing out the area.

"It appears that I can't go outside for now," I thought. With this pain, I could only endure for the time being.

I hoped these people would leave the place soon. Then I sat in the chair and continued to watch the control mirror.

Outside,

The workers were clearing out the damaged building. The authorities had controlled the news from leaking.

Otherwise, it would affect their business and tourism. The nearby shop owners had kept their mouths shut. Their livelihoods depended upon the business here.

So they told the tourists and customers that it was an accident. The tourists didn't find anything wrong. They put their trust in the Brendan Clan.

Time passed.

At midnight, the workers completed their work. Now, that place was covered with sheets. It was labeled as a construction site so that no one could trespass.

When everyone was gone, the nearby shopkeepers closed their shops as well. Apart from a few shops, others had closed during midnight.

Swoosh!

I appeared outside. I had been watching their work. After seeing the workers had gone, I sighed in relief. Now, I was dressed in normal wizard clothes without a mask.

I should find a place to stay. I immediately left the area.

A few minutes later,

I found an inn that was open. I went inside and spoke to the manager. Fortunately, a room was available. I paid the bill before getting the key. Then I went to the room.
