Kim Minjoon will be going home gleaming with smiles from left to right after getting so many levels. The fantasy series protagonist gained some good levels in the fake dungeon while fighting the clay monsters. Once he gets back, he will also get to see Lee Sangjin’s sulking face in The Dark Mage’s Return to Enlistment Chapter 49
Kim was cunning and greedy in the last chapter, killing all the monsters by himself and gaining the bonus exp. However, it isn’t that big of a consequence to anyone as this is a world without consequences with no real threats. Even if Kim Minjoon were the sole soldier in the world, there would be no issues with the fatality ratio.
And that is one of the issues with modern/urban fantasies, and the scale is so big that it becomes hard to conceptualize. But then again, the popular fantasy these days is also self-insert in nature. A fantasy world is created more as a proxy to the game, with every character acting just like an NPC.
The Dark Mage’s Return to Enlistment Chapter 49 Spoilers
The Dark Mage’s Return to Enlistment Chapter 49 will show what kind of offer awaits the rising star. Kim Minjun’s recent performance in his spar against his superior was a one-sided battle. He just had to cloak his whip with demonic energy, and his sparring partner was one for, possibly even traumatized.
The superior he was fighting against had a good reputation in the military, and he took great pride in it as well. Moreover, the superior also thought highly of himself, for he had shown great prowess after learning how to use magic. But, the old man felt a little threatened by the rising star Minjun, who was the talk of the town.
Minjun was told by one of his colleagues to go easy on the man, or else he would be facing consequences. Minjun, in a childlike manner, agreed to his request, but he said he would only be taking one hit from him. During the fight, once he had taken a hit, he decided to use some of his powers against the old man who had gotten over himself.
The Dark Mage’s Return to Enlistment Chapter 48 Recap
The Dark Mage’s Return to Enlistment Chapter 48 showed us a little about Kim Minjung’s past life struggles. Particularly his fight against a beast named Dark Knight that had given him a hard time when Kim was a summoned hero in that world. The action series doesn’t go into Kim Minjung’s past from that time, but we get snippets of it now and then.
We also got to see a higher-up in the military witnessing Lee Sangjin’s greed on display. And given what comes later in the chapter, some might even think that the title of the chapter was ‘Greed.’ Even the MC was greedy with the experience and did not let his subordinates get some of it in any form or manner.
And just as we said in the opening of the article, this is a game world with no real consequences. And with the dungeon dive, which could pass as a mock drill, we just had some uninspired monster being thrashed around. Perhaps the story’s self-awareness of the situation is what makes things a little comedic in the end, but not much happened otherwise.
