Isekai Method: How to be Transported into a Different World (Isekaied)

Chapter 20 - Sold.

He did the usual activating a hidden mechanism to open a secret room. We followed. He picked up a diary from a box and sat down on a table in the secret room.

"This is it."

I immediately picked up her name written on the front. I read it loud,

"이소연"(Lee So Yeon)

I pointed at the letters.

"Its a name, Lee So Yeon."

Deric wasted no time and opened up to the first page. It was all written in Korean with a pretty font.

"1날. 오늘부터 난 이 일기를 쓰며, 내 가 살며 뭔일이 일어나는질 기록한다. 내 몸의 마나가 내가 못참들정도로 커지고 있다는것이다. 내가슴이 터질것 같이 아프다. 이고통은 한달 전부터 약하게 시작하여, 악화되어갔다. 나는 이개 나의 마나에 관됀걸 알고 아무말 안한채 바로 먼 산으로 도망쳤다. 가슴이 터질정도로 아픔을 느껴, 언잰간 정말로 이 괴물같은 마나량이 폭발할까 싶었다. 난 그걸 두려워해, 뛰어 나온것이다. 여기와서 맨날 끝임없이 마법을 사용해 내 마나를 줄이려고 했지만, 시간낭비였다. 고통은 계속 심해졌고, 마나극성장은 멈추지 않았다. 밥을 1주동안 안먹어둬, 몸이 멀쩡했다. 갈증좃차둬 못느낀다. 오늘도 잠을 못자고 계속 고통에 빠져있다. 내몸은 도됐채 어떠캐돼어가는걸까? 난 너무 두렵고 두렵다."

I translated it with the best of my ability as I read it.

"'Day 1. From today I write this diary and record whatever happens in my life. My body's mana is getting big to a point where my body is reaching its limits. It hurts like as if my chest is going to burst. This pain started about a month ago and got worse. I knew it was related to my mana and ran to a faraway mountain without saying a word. I thought the chest-bursting pain...' wait, So she basically thought her monstrous amount of mana would explode someday. 'I feared that and ran away. After coming to the mountains, I used magic endlessly to reduce my mana, but it was a waste of time. The pain kept on getting worse and the rapid mana growth did not stop. I haven't eaten for a week, but I feel completely fine. I don't even feel any thirst. I didn't get any sleep today, again and still in pain. Just what is happening to my body? I'm so scared.'"

"I... I didn't know..."

"About her condition?"

"I had no idea... Please continue."

"2날. 오늘도 이고통은 멈추지않았다. 아픔을잊고 사냥해서 맛있게 뭐라도 먹을까해서 사냥을 해봤다. 사냥은 커녕, 걍 사냥중 눕게됐다. 난 정말 이러케계속 살아야돼나 한 생각에 매일 절망적인 생각밖에 안났다. 오늘은 밤동안 뭘할까. 정말 자고싶다, 근데 아무리 뭘해도 잠이안온다. 뭐하지..."

"Day 2. This pain didn't stop. I started hunting thinking I should forget about the pain and eat something good. I laid down instead of doing hunting. I felt despair, thinking, do I have to continue living like this? What do I do tonight? I really want to sleep, but I can't sleep whatever I try. What do I do..."

The next three days were pretty much the same, not doing anything. Then the next page skipped forward about a week.

"Day 13. The pain started to subside a little bit, or I got used to the pain. Nothing else changed."

I skimmed over the entries and couldn't find anything different until the last few pages. The days were changed to entry numbers.

"Entry number 51, I noticed my body turning transparent. I wasn't even surprised. I just want to die at this point. But I'm still afraid my mana would end up being like a nuclear explosion."
