Chapter 7
The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 7
Episode 7. An unprecedented acquisition (2)
[The vision of the direct descendants of the imperial family, which was engraved in your heart but could not be utilized due to your weak constitution, is opening your eyes.]
A message that appears without hesitation before your eyes.
Rachiel’s eyes grew wider.
It had to be that way.
‘A hazy mind?’
…Amazing, Great.
‘Emperor of the Demon Sword’, the original work of this world. In the story, the special mana method used only by the royal family of Magentano was the Asurahan method.
‘They said it was a mental method created about 300 years ago.’
A grand master who will leave a lasting mark in history.
Did you say Javiel Asrahan?
He said he co-created it with his owner, Lloyd Frontera. It is said that after that, it became the royal law of the Magentano royal family and was passed down only to direct descendants.
‘That’s what was passed down to me too. No, strictly speaking, it must have been planted in this body, Rakiel. Because Rachiel is the crown prince. Because he is the heir to the royal family.’
But so far?
‘I had the mind law, but I couldn’t use it at all because of my weak constitution.’
But now things have changed.
The message that appeared before my eyes was telling me. That dim mind is opening its eyes. It’s all yours.
Ding dong.
[The Dizzy Mind Technique skill has been opened.]
[Skill Name: Dizzy Mind Technique]
[Level: Single Circle Lv. 1]
[Absorbs surrounding mana. It is used by processing/amplifying the absorbed mana into a circle created around the heart. Whenever the number of circles increases, the amplification rate increases significantly.]
[Mana amplification rate: 120%]
[HP required for next level up: 1000]
[Currently possessed HP: 100]
Kiiiiing-!
‘Oooot.’
Have you ever felt the feeling of a smooth donut spinning around your heart? That was exactly the feeling the circle was spinning right now.
‘Is this what mana is?’
Each time the mana circle rotates.
Every time I breathe like that.
A strange power was absorbed into the circle from the air I breathed in. It was absorbed, amplified, and began to flow along the acupuncture points. A little vitality appeared in my body. It was the kind of vitality I had felt for the first time since entering the weak body of Rachiel.
‘It feels like I had a shot of iced Americano in the morning when I can’t wake up.’
A mana circle that rotates automatically through the mind law. It was possible to control it to some extent. Just like walking. Like right after you first get the hang of riding a bike. Rakiel tried adjusting the rotation speed of the mana circle here and there.
It was awkward, but I was able to control it little by little.
‘I’m going to need some practice.’
Rachiel enjoyed the first sensation of the circle with a strange feeling.
But it was in the meantime.
Coooooo!
‘uh?’
The circle that was running well slowed down.

Then suddenly.
Kiaaaaa-!
“…!”
It started spinning very roughly.
It was a sudden thing. It wasn’t what I intended or wanted. There was a rush of pain that was constricting my heart as if it was going to explode.
‘…Oof!’
Rachiel couldn’t even scream.
Because it was so sudden.
Because I can’t even breathe.
I couldn’t even hold my chest, only the blood clots in my neck.
‘what?’
Why does this sudden pain come on? Why does my heart hurt like it’s going to be ripped out? Why is the circle going crazy? I couldn’t figure out anything.
It was such a sudden phenomenon.
‘What is this?’
Circle didn’t listen.
It wasn’t just spinning wildly at will. Originally, the circle was a ring of mana that generously surrounded the heart. But what about the circle that has emerged now?
It was different.
It was too small.
It was as if the heart was caught in that small circle. No, it wasn’t just stuck.
‘If this continues… my heart will explode.’
Like a long orphan with Jecheon Daeseong’s hair tightened. Or like a wild beast that bites its prey’s neck without mercy. The circle was pressing on my heart as if it was going to tear it apart. It was rotating while being pressed.
‘K… That’s right!’
He barely managed to avoid panicking.
In the cold sweat that broke out in an instant. In a blurry vision without hesitation. I could vaguely see Sir Gardin saying something in this direction.
No, are you yelling?
Why are you doing that?
Are you okay?
Holding this shoulder. Are you trying to check the situation here?
‘Tsk.’
Sir Gardin was not the only one making a fuss.
Ding dong.
[The mana circle is putting excessive pressure on the heart.]
[The development of the mana circle and the heart is not balanced.]
[The heart is on the verge of fainting.]
Various organs, including the heart, were sending screaming messages. Messages bloom and flicker in blurred vision. I felt dizzy. But thanks to this, I was able to guess the cause of this unexpected situation.
‘The development of the mana circle and the heart is out of balance?’
Now that I think about it, it was as he said.
A faint heart that opened its eyes a little while ago. Thanks to this, the Mana Circle began to rotate, revealing its presence.
However, the size of the circle was abnormally small. The donut-shaped circle that was supposed to generously surround the heart was now pressing down on it, like an infinitely small ring pressing on a finger.
‘State of development… Balance…’
Wait.
It slowly dawned on me.
That was a hypothesis.
‘If it’s in a developing state, the body’s heart is fully grown… but it’s not a circle.’
Consciousness that becomes delirious due to pain.
The heart began to beat irregularly.
I continued to think amidst the obvious signs of a heart attack.
‘Okay, now that I think about it, it might be natural. Because the original owner of this body, Rakiel, was the crown prince. Because he was the emperor’s eldest son from birth. However, it is said that the Asurahan Mind Method is the royal family’s secret and a secret technique that is only passed down to the immediate descendants.’
It definitely came out like that in the novel ‘The Demon Sword Emperor’. It was the same message that came out earlier when I first gained the dark mind.
The vision of the direct lineage of the royal family, which was ‘engraved’ in this heart but could not be utilized due to a weak constitution, is ‘awakening.’
‘So, Rakiel was born as the crown prince, and immediately after birth, he inherited the imperial family’s vision, the Dark Mind Act.’
Perhaps the emperor himself engraved a circle on the heart of the newborn Rachiel. Like a ritual that the direct descendants of the royal family performed for generations. As soon as he was born, he would have acquired a dark mind.
But what happened next was the problem.
‘Rachiel was born with a weak constitution. You said you felt anxious even before you opened your eyes.’
It is said that he suffered from illness his entire life since childhood. But would it have been possible to use a shabby mind technique with a body like that?
‘no.’
That probably wasn’t it. With a body ravaged by illness, it would not have been possible to even dream of using mental techniques. So, what about the Mana Circle that can be activated by using the Mind Method?
‘It’s probably something that has never been rotated before. No, it hasn’t woken up even once since it was installed as a newborn.’
Literally, this circle has been in a state of semi-forced hibernation for its entire life. That’s why he couldn’t grow at all from the size and shape he had when he was a newborn. But in the meantime, Rachiel’s body grew and only her heart grew bigger.
‘So it’s not balanced.’
Adult heart.
Newborn’s circle.
It was an incredibly rare and ironic combination.
But as that union was now having a huge party in my heart, I was literally in tears.
‘I have to do something.’
If you continue like this, you will die.
It’s not a joke, it’s real.
In the original, Rakiel did not wake up the Circle at all and died peacefully, but the situation here is different.
Once you’ve awakened the Circle, you have to do something. There must be a balance between the heart and the circle. Otherwise, you will soon have a heart attack and start receiving career counseling from King Yeomra.
‘think. Anything is fine, just think of it.’
I concentrated and rolled my head.
A cause I just guessed.
The answer to solve the problem.
I searched desperately.
I grabbed it fiercely.
Finally came to a conclusion.
In the end, there was only one way to balance the two.
You can’t reduce the heart….
‘Increase the circle!’
The moment I got the answer.
Rachiel no longer tried to calm down the rampaging Circle. On the contrary, it further encouraged the frantic rotation.
Kiaaaaa-!
fast.
Faster.
Rough and breathless.
Fiercely and violently.
The rotation speed of the circle was increased.
There is only one purpose. The circle was forcibly expanded using centrifugal force. So to speak, it was a gamble of his life.
Kaaaaaaaaah!
‘…Kkeuch!’
My heart broke into circles.
A tremendous pain came.
Seriously, I almost blacked out.
But he knew that if he lost his mind, it would be the end.
I held on.
I endured it.
Are you just too patient?
It wasn’t.
‘My chest… hurts. It hurts tremendously. Still, this is not heartbreaking compared to the time when oriental medicine clinics were going bankrupt in Korea!’
He recalled his most heartbreaking memory recently. It was a memory of the time when oriental medicine clinics were going out of business due to the coronavirus outbreak.
‘Just because two confirmed patients visited… Internet cafes… Apartment group chat rooms… Rumors spread all over the neighborhood… Patients stopped coming… They just sighed in the treatment room where no one came… I’m even experiencing hair loss that wasn’t there before…!’
No matter how much it hurts.
Will it hurt as much as it did then?
‘But even so, the loan interest was deducted from the rent. I wanted to grab someone and beg, but I couldn’t. I tried to make up for it by moving out of the jeonse room and into a monthly rent studio, but…fuck my jeonse.’
I don’t know how much I cried alone the day I was packing up my belongings in the rented room. But what about the pain you feel in your chest right now?
‘Compared to back then, it doesn’t even hurt. ‘I felt even more heartbroken back then!’
He ground his teeth.
This isn’t even painful.
So I can endure it. I can endure as much pain as my mana circle increases.
‘Mana Circle? Do you know how it feels when your business goes bankrupt? Do you know the suffering of self-employed people in Korea?’
I repeated to the circle.
It growled like it was chewing.
That’s how I endured it.
The pain that lasted for what felt like eons. The rotation of the mana circle has surpassed its limit. The pain of the circle being torn and stretched by centrifugal force. Everyone endured, persevered, and accepted it.
Eventually, the circle responded.
Kaaaaaa-! Lots of cards!
A sound like something breaking was heard.
At that moment, the circle expanded. A sense of liberation came to my oppressed heart. The pain disappeared like a lie. Instead, I felt the rotation of a circle that was as smooth as glass.
Kiiiiing….
Like a well-tamed animal. Or like a well-maintained engine. It was a rotation that seemed to say that he would unleash his greatest power whenever you wanted.
The moment Rachiel opens her eyes to that new sensation. Numerous messages began to appear before my eyes.
Ding dong!
[You have perfectly balanced the development of the heart and mana circle.]
[Your mana circle has shrunk from a long period of hibernation. Therefore, it was a situation where normal use was absolutely impossible.
] [However, with your brilliant intuition, bold execution, resolute will, and indomitable perseverance, you succeeded in forcibly tearing and expanding the Mana Circle.]
[Through a series of processes, your Mana Heart has gone through a very rare growth stage in which it is forcibly torn and stretched according to the owner’s will.] [
This unique and unique growth history grants special properties to your mana circle.]
[You have unprecedented ‘mana’ in history . ‘Circle Slot’ has been obtained.]
A bright message that fills your eyes.
It was only when I saw that that I was able to realize it.
For example, this was a moment of historic success when a life-threatening gamble returned with a huge jackpot.
