The Shaman Wants Transcendence

9 – What You Need to Recover

Seonggwang Eunsangje, a shamanic ritual created by looking at an elephant shining white under the starlight, was a shamanic ritual with health and recovery-related effects thanks to the shamanistic symbol of the elephant, which was considered a sacred animal. There was also an effect of giving a little luck with the addition of the belief in blessings.

But not everything can be good.

The effect of this witchcraft ritual was not to ‘give the elephant a symbolism’, but ‘to make it resemble an elephant so that it can use symbolic power’, so it is because it made the shaman look like an elephant as a price.

Elephants have ivory.

Elephants have rough, hard skin.

Elephants are vegetarian animals.

Humans don’t have ivory.

Humans have soft skin.

Humans are omnivores.

Elephants and humans are similar but different beings.

But one of the principles of witchcraft is similarity.

Similar things produce similar things, and similar things call similar things.

This is called homoeopathic magic.

And according to this principle, man resembles an elephant.

Humans don’t have ivory, but they do have teeth, and teeth grow just like ivory.

Humans have soft skin, but it becomes rough and hard, similar to elephants.

People can be vegetarian, so they change to be able to eat only vegetarian food.

Seonggwang Silver Prize is a very honest magic that takes three costs instead of giving three benefits.

Resemble

It makes two missing teeth grow, makes the skin rough and hard, and makes you eat only vegetarian nutrition for a while.

However, making the skin rough and hard is a problem that needs to be managed, and eating only vegetarian food was not a problem as there were plenty of vegetarian diets. It was also a price that was not a problem in modern times because the combat rations for vegetarians were well developed so that the life of a mercenary who had to do a lot of activities with a small amount of food was well developed.

However, it was really bad to have teeth that were missing, because the teeth that were missing were ‘wisdom teeth’.

Jin-seong had no luck or love, but he had three wisdom teeth removed in middle school, and he had to remove an additional wisdom tooth because of consciousness.

That’s why when Seong-gwang found out about the cost of the prize, he spat out curses.

『It is truly terrible to grow wisdom teeth. This makes me the person who has had my wisdom teeth pulled out five times. 』

But a witchcraft ritual is something you don’t know what to pay for.

Jin-seong just thought he was out of luck and went to the dentist to have his wisdom teeth extracted.

And when he performed his second ritual, he struggled to rationalize himself.

“Your wisdom teeth have grown again. However, if you are unlucky, wisdom teeth can grow under your eyes, so you should be thankful that they grew up in an ordinary position. 』

Only 7 extracted wisdom teeth.

Wisdom teeth can also be used as ingredients for incantation, so it wasn’t all bad…

Jin-seong, who had memories of having his wisdom teeth pulled out while the anesthesia was off, wasn’t very happy with the price.

However, at this time, he also blamed his bad luck for winning twice at the same price, and had no other thoughts.

However, he felt strange when the same price returned during the third ceremony.

『Isn’t the price completely the same? 』

Two wisdom teeth.

Getting roughSkin.

Vegetarian Forced.

It was the same all three times.

But what’s even more strange is that the location where this master is manifested is also the same.

Wisdom teeth in the upper part on both sides.

Rough skin is concentrated on the hands and feet.

『Three rituals. The same price three times. Can you say this is a coincidence? 』

Jinseong immediately started experimenting.

The fourth holy light silver award was used.

Wisdom teeth erupted in the same location, and the skin on the hands and feet became rough.

The fifth holy light silver award was used.

Wisdom teeth erupted in the same location, and the skin on the hands and feet became rough.

The repetition of the price, which could not be seen as a coincidence, was made the same even on the 10th attempt, and only then Jinseong was convinced that the Seonggwang Silver Award demanded the same price.

But here a question arises.

How was it that no other shaman could discover what he could so easily find?

Wouldn’t this be a peculiar phenomenon that can only be seen in me or in this magic?

Jinseong informed another sorcerer about this sorcery ritual in order to verify it.

The shaman readily accepted this shamanic ritual, which was less effective but not too costly…

He paid a different price than Jinseong.

The witch doctor didn’t have wisdom teeth growing, and he wasn’t forced to be a vegetarian.

Only the skin on his hands and feet was rough.

『It’s very nice to be able to heal internal wounds at just this price. I will inform my fellow shaman as well. 』

The shaman, who was able to heal his internal wounds at a price that was so light that it was almost free, thanked Jinseong greatly and informed other shamans about the ritual. And other shamans began to use this shaman, which was said to be cost-effective, and each paid a different price.

One shaman had four wisdom teeth growing out.

Some shaman found the salad tasted better.

Some shamans had an extra stomach and lengthened intestines.

One shaman had his feet hardened to stone.

As it spread to many shamans, the price of the ritual became stronger, and in the end, it became so huge that it could not be used with cost performance.

And at that point, many shamans abandoned this shamanic ritual with comments such as ‘All old shamanism is like that’, ‘As expected, the cost performance is not good’, ‘The effect is not good, but the price is too high’.

Jinseong, who watched the whole series of processes, understood why the master of witchcraft had not been studied properly.

‘The shamanic ritual demands a strange price.’

Let’s assume that the effect of a normal witchcraft ritual is 100, and the price is also 100.

Of course, if you use a shamanic ritual, instead of seeing the effect of 100, you must also pay 100.

This honest equivalent exchange is a ‘very good thing’ for a shaman.

Let alone discounts, can you buy and use things at full price in the yard of people who try to overcharge people around you? Of course, we have no choice but to welcome it with open arms.

‘Summoning, contract, magic, martial arts… All of this is unfair to humans.’

Magic cannot be 100% effective. In the process of using it, energy is always lost.

Summoning requires a price in return for someone else lending their power.

The Contract tries to change the Contractor to his liking instead of lending the power of the transcendental species. Lending powerIt is a story that you have to accept that your life and destiny change in return.

In the process of accumulating martial arts, there is always a loss, and in some cases, the physical body is overburdened.

There are also many things that are thought to cost too much compared to the effects of witchcraft. Even if you have a witchcraft ritual right now, aren’t you becoming an object of avoidance while listening to the sound of chaotic choices?

But instead of seeing the effect of 100, you have to pay the price of 100?

Of course, she has to look like a fairy.

So what about the sequence that follows?

Is this honey-like information only you know?

Not like that.

Most humans would want to enjoy this good information with people around them. This is also an instinct as a social animal, and it may be a decision based on a desire to be respected more.

So the shaman tells this honey-like information to a close person.

To colleagues, friends, lovers, and family.

However, there is a saying that it is not a secret if more than one person knows it.

The person who gets the information spreads this amazing information to ‘a person who thinks he is trustworthy’, and that person spreads it to another person.

Such a honey-like witchcraft ritual gradually spreads.

But a problem arises.

Contrary to the first information I heard, the cost is enormous!

Benefits are the same.

The same gives 100 benefits.

However, the price is 1 for someone and 199 for someone.

‘The benefits are the same. The price is random.’

Two people perform a witchcraft ritual.

Then both of them share the benefit of the total of 200 equally.

However, the total cost of 200 is not shared equally.

The total amount of the price to be paid is the same, but the distribution is random.

A consciousness that was fair in the singular would become unfair in the plural.

And this becomes increasingly terrifying as the number grows.

Twenty people perform the ceremony.

The total amount of benefits is 2,000. Twenty people equally share 100 each.

But… What is the price?

Someone gets lucky and ends up paying 1 and 10 as a price.

But what about the unlucky ones?

Thus, a witchcraft ritual that was once well-received turns into a ‘very bad thing’.

With the evaluation that efficiency is garbage, consciousness gradually begins to be forgotten.

And in the end, there are two endings.

One is when the shaman who first used this ritual uses it again.

‘The shaman will pay the price honestly again and realize the mechanism for the shamanic ritual.’

Then the shaman would naturally come to a conclusion.

The conclusion that only one person should know about this witchcraft ritual.

What is created in this way is one-person transmission.

‘And another…’

And the other is forgotten as it is.

This is what happens when the shaman who first used this shamanic ritual dies or does not use it again due to the sudden change. In this case, the shamanistic ritual is forgotten as it is or faces a future that can be seen anywhere in the literature.

‘Its essence does not change, but it rises and falls according to people’s evaluation, so it’s really unfortunate.’

Like thatThe truth about the cost of the ritual fades into darkness.

Those who do not know do not know.

Those who knew did not open their mouths.

Whoever wants to inform can’t prove it.

Everyone who knows wants not to know.

‘Exactly like me.’
