3:10 in the morning.
Yuara was walking alone in the ‘Spirit Lake’ around the 12th floor.
She too was looking for Lily-Rose for first place in points when the event started. But where did she disappear to? Lily-Rose’s face was nowhere to be seen.
…I thought it was on the 12th floor.
At that time, the tower’s will was heard in my ears.
[‘Red Player Leader’ has been eliminated!]
[A new ‘Red Player Leader’ has been created!]
“……Huh?”
That the RED player leader has been killed.
It was about Lily-Rose being defeated by someone.
…Who the hell?
It’s a waste. Lily Rose had
8450 points.
An unknown person earned 4225 points, half of that.
At this rate, the first place in points will be taken away by a new person who is unknown.
“…It’s a big deal.”
There are only 3 hours left until the end of the event.
There is no way.
There is no choice but to earn points by attacking others as soon as possible.
When you plan to go
somewhere else after making plans like that .
I saw a man walking not far away. It was a body shape I had seen many times. I immediately recognized who she was.
“Kim Seon-woo?”
Why is he here again?
Did he come after Lily-Rose by any chance?
Yooara thought to herself and wondered if she should attack Kim Seon-woo by surprise.
“…hmm.”
But for some reason I was hesitant.
For some reason, I thought that even if I played first, if it was Kim Seon-woo, I would do something to stop it.
Of course I wasn’t scared.
This is because attacking Kim Seon-woo, who has not even analyzed his strength in order to gain points, was like gambling.
Rather, it is a safer way to accumulate points by targeting other low-ranking students.
“…As expected, wouldn’t it be better to aim for someone else?”
I wish that too Do you have a lot of time
?
Organizing her thoughts, Yuara turned around and walked in the direction of the tower portal.
Then, suddenly, a thought crossed her mind.
Lily-Rose’s defeat that just happened.
Come to think of it, there were almost no strong players in this tower who could win against her, who is number 1 in England.
Except for himself, the only person I can think of is Lee Seo-joon.
However, Lee Seo-jun continued to not show up in the event rankings, as if he was trying to challenge the 30th floor.
In other words, the person who won against Lily Rose was not Lee Seo-joon.
And she knew a hidden genius with a talent as outstanding as Lee Seo-joon.
It was Kim Seon-woo.
Yooara’s expression suddenly became serious.
The appearance of Kim Seon-woo, whom I had just seen, seemed to be fine with a single injury.
If he really was the one who won over Lily-Rose,
he overpowered her unscathed.
…No matter how genius Kim Seon-woo is, is that possible?
“Phew…
I let out a sigh of relief as I watched Yooara walk away.
I was walking alone on the street, but I was surprised that the life detection feature was suddenly activated. I was so scared that it was Yooara again.
Right after I used Mother Nature’s Heart in the battle with Lily Rose.
If he had to compete with Yuara now that the mana in his body was exhausted, he would probably have lost a hundred times.
“I’m still glad.”
I don’t know what changed his mind, but he gave up attacking me, so his life was saved. I could say I was lucky.
“I’ll have to hide somewhere anyway.”
The ‘Last Night’ event started and all the students were thinking about fighting with their eyes on.
There are about 3 hours left until the end of the event.
I won against Lily Rose and got a lot of points, so it’s okay to indulge in the fight for a while.
It would be more of a headache if you were defeated by someone in a state of lack of mana.
I moved to the tower portal.
The place I want to go to is the ‘intermediate safe area’ on the 10th floor. [
300 Zen points are required
to enter ‘Medium Safe Area’ .]
[Pay?]
300 points.
I had 7025 points thanks to the 4225 points I had just won against Lily Rose, so it was worth it.
‘ payment.’
[Paid 300 points.]
[Enters ‘Medium Safe Zone’.]
A bright light flashes and the view changes again.
“Oh…
when I reached the middle safe area, I saw various buildings.
restaurant inn and so on. It was like looking at a busy street in a small rural village. I look around to see if there are students, but I don’t see anyone.
Apparently everyone is busy earning points.
“home.” Well,
I don’t think anyone would
pay 300 points to use a place like this .
Before entering the inn, I looked for other facilities that could be used.
The middle safe zone is because all facilities here are free if you pay only 300 points.
As I was walking down the street, I saw a sign and stopped.
“Is there a hot spring too?”
It’s not just a hot spring. ‘Mana’ is put in front of the name, so it is ‘Mana Hot Spring’.
Since the name is unusual,
expectations were raised that recovery would be faster.
“Ughhh.”
Should I do some healing for a while?
There is approximately 3 hours left until the end of the test.
The last event, ‘The Last Night’, has ended. Those who lost points in the aftermath of the event turned into a mess trying to loot with their eyes closed.
After taking a good rest in the middle safety area, I moved to the 19th floor.
Thanks to the ‘Mana Hot Springs’ I enjoyed at dawn, my physical condition was at its best. There
was also an unexpected ability increase.
[Magic power increased by 0.5 due to the influence of the mana spring.]
That is, the magical stat increased by 0.5.
It’s not that big of a rise, but it was an unexpected growth, so I was quite happy.
“Whoa.”
So let’s spend the rest of our time hunting. I
moved to the
forested monster hunting area .
When I arrived at my destination, I began to feel a presence in the nearby grass.
It could be the red player who lost points and lost his sight, so he raised his magic and prepared for a surprise attack.
“uh? Good luck!”
“Youn Ha-young?”
The one who appeared in the grass was none other than Youn Ha-Young.
No matter what happened all night, both cheeks were tanned and the condition was incomprehensible.
After all, it was only natural that he lived in the wild for three days.
“and! Very nice. I’ve never met anyone I know since coming here.”
Yoon Ha-young, who had such a pleasant smile, looked me up and down and then continued.
“what? did you wash Something looks very clean.”
oh. noticing this
Also Hayoung Yoon. have good eyesight
I said with a smile.
“I’ve been to the middle safety area on the 10th floor
. There is a hot spring there.”
“and. really? The entrance fee is 300 points, but I went there. I must have earned a lot of points.”
“I didn’t earn anything bad.”
In response to my answer, Yun Ha-young gave me an envious look.
“Seeing that you speak confidently, Sunwoo, aren’t you number one?”
I shook my head.
“Never be number one.”
“hmm. okay? So, who will be number one? Is it Ara? I saw earlier that
the average score in the event was the highest. Lily Rose said she was ransacked at the last minute.”
Yoon Ha-young put her hand on her chin and thought to herself. He said as if tossing it at her.
“First place is Seojun Lee.”
“Seojun? right. Seojun was there. I forgot about it because I never saw it on the leaderboard. But why didn’t Seo-joon appear on the leaderboard?”
Instead of answering, I smiled quietly.
Meanwhile, Lee Seo-joon continued to climb the tower.
Currently, the appendix is on the 29th floor.
There is only one floor left to the top of the tower.
It was really hard. Various traps and powerful monsters. Intricate patterns that make your head hurt.
Lee Seo-joon understood at once why only one person had been able to reach the top for 50 years.
He, who had lived without knowing giving up until now,
was to the point where he wanted to give up in the middle.
But I didn’t give up. If I had been willing to give up this much in the first place, I would not have attempted the 30th floor.
Lee Seo-joon had the spirit to challenge, and he had that much ability and talent.
Of course, it would be a big disappointment if I failed because I was giving up the numerous events and points of the tower and challenging the 30th floor. This is because
if you’re unlucky, an unfortunate incident that won’t even make it into the top 100 could happen
.
“Whoa. It’s hard.”
After being alone for three days, I felt a little lonely.
I even thought it would be nice to see a person’s shadow.
Soon, I organized my weak thoughts and opened the door to the next stage.
[You have entered the Hidden Stage ‘Manager’s Land’.]
Hidden Stage?”
Was there a hidden stage in the tower?
At that time, the space Lee Seo-joon was in changed.
complete darkness.
It made me feel as if I was floating alone in space.
Lee Seo-joon continued to walk the road without a destination. Then a stone slab appeared in front of him.
[Admin’s Archives]
[You can leave a message. The writings you left will remain here forever
.]
“…Archive?”
seemed to know what
It was a kind of commemorative message that only those who reached the top of the tower could leave.
I never thought that a system like this could be implemented in an artificial tower for testing.
Lee Seo-joon entered a message using magic.
I am Seojun Lee. climb to the top of the tower
“…was it written too roughly?”
Lee Seo-joon looked at the stone slate with an embarrassed face. Magical power dissipated on the slate and the written words disappeared.
[Your message has been saved.]
[You can view other people’s records.]
[Are you sure you want to view them?]
Other people’s records? Seojun Lee thought for a moment and then pressed OK.
What are the human limits?
I dedicate this honor to my teacher and to my precious people.
2004-7-3
“What?”
Apparently, the person who left this message seemed to be the one who was the only one who made it to the top 30.
human limitations. My teachers and precious people.
Surprisingly, he was a romantic person.
who was it
Leaving such a great achievement and not being known to the world. I guess there must be some reason.
[I can’t believe humans are coming here.
It’s been 28 years.]
It was then. A voice was heard from somewhere. It wasn’t upbringing. He had a good relationship with the tower’s will that he had just heard about.
Lee Seo-joon looked around and said.
“Who are you?”
[To borrow the human expression of the ego of the tower, I call it ‘the will of the tower.’]
Seo-joon Lee was a little surprised at those words.
I wondered if it was really the will of the Tower?
[Anyway, it’s fun. You are very similar to someone I know. To the point where you get the illusion that he has come back here again.]
The tower suddenly uttered something incomprehensible.
To think that he resembles someone TOP knows.
” ah.”
It seemed that he was referring to the person who had been
the only one to climb to the top of the tower before .
[It’s amazing to see you again. How can the energy they possess be so similar?]
The tower kept repeating the same words as if it were strange.
Lee Seo-joon felt suspicious.
Who the hell is that to say that he is similar to you?
“Could you please tell me who he is?”
[Who is it… I’m sure his name is…]
He said as if he remembered the tower’s will after pondering for a while.
[Cheonwoo Jin. that’s right. The name was definitely Jin Chun-wu.] At the
“..I”
moment, Lee Seo-joon was startled.
Cheonwoo Jin.
It was a name I knew. No, there was not a single person in the world who did not know the name of Jin Chun-wu.
The worst wizard of all time who terrorized the world in the past.
The leader and god of Zaun.
[You seem surprised. Do you know someone?]
I’ve heard the name.”
[is it. Well, if you’re a human with that level of skill, your name will inevitably be known.]
Lee Seo-joon kept his mouth shut for a while.
I needed to organize my thoughts. And I asked the top what I was curious about.
“I want to hear the detailed reason why you said I was similar to Jin Chun-wu.”
[Similar reasons… I
sense the energy and magic radiating from humans, and remember and distinguish them.]
“Aura and magic?”
[Yes. That’s why I thought you were similar to Jin Cheon-wu. The energy and magic you felt from you are very similar to Jin Cheon-wu.] Lee Seo-
joon fell into deep thought at the top’s words. To think that
I have the same energy and magical power as Jin Cheon-wu
. I heard something completely unexpected.
“Then, what do you think is the reason why I feel similar energy and magic to Jin Cheon-wu?”
[…Reason?]
Top blurted out as if pondering for a moment.
