Episode 243
Chapter 14. 50th floor
【congratulations. You have cleared the 49th floor for the second time.】
【’The owner of the 49th floor’ and ‘Creepy Little Man’ congratulates you on your victory and gives you a reward.】
The 49th floor, which was quite a long journey, has come to an end.
As I climbed 10 floors in one go, I still felt mentally tired.
I looked down at my hands, trying to shake off the memories of Babylon.
An overwhelming stat of 50,000.
I felt tremendous vitality in my body, which was completely opposite to my exhausted mind, as it was regained after a long time.
‘It’s finally back to normal.’
I took a deep breath and started walking.
This was the 49.5th floor, a floor where you could rest before going to the 50th floor.
Since he knew of Yashin’s plot, his intention was to go straight up without hesitation.
At that moment, I felt a rush of movement between buildings that were about 20 stories tall on average.
My senses, which were extremely heightened due to regaining my original body, could not have missed the sign, and my feet were already moving.
Because there was only one person who seemed to be popular on this floor.
Alleyway between buildings.
In the humid space, water from an unknown source dripped down and soaked my shoes.
I reached the end of the narrow alley between the shadows of the buildings, pushing away the electric wires that were like vines in between.
I don’t know what it is, but there was a loud clicking sound as if it were a machine running an engine.
And sitting on top of the machine was a woman wearing a very wide brimmed hat.
White hair flowing through the hat, and a neat appearance as if carved from sapphire.
Jinseon.
Aside from Ha Il-seong, she was the only one running in front of me.
“You’re here.”
A voice that sounded like a rolling jade rang out.
She, who had long been said to have a very good voice, was smiling at me.
‘Smile?’
That woman?
But I felt strange when I saw Jinseon’s smile.
That’s because the woman named Jinseon never smiled and was someone who didn’t easily show her emotions.
The only time she smiles is in front of the emperor, and she doesn’t even talk to other people.
Moreover, even the King of Swords, who got along well with many people, did not know much about her and felt awkward about her.
“who are you.”
That’s why I asked directly.
Because there was no way this guy was Jinseon.
Her smile suddenly disappeared at my question.
From that point on, even her mood completely changed.
Jinseon, who seemed to have become a completely different person, lightly got off the machine.
Then, after adjusting his clothes, he opened his mouth to me with a smileless face.
“You are the king of heaven.”
“okay.”
The atmosphere changed in an instant, this guy is Jinseon.
Jinseon, who was looking at me with calm, emotionless eyes, first asked as if confirming.
“What happened to the King?”
“I killed it.”
There was nothing to hide.
No matter whose side this guy is on, Ha Il-seong’s death is an unchanging fact.
“okay. “Emperor, it is as you think.”
At that moment, with the word “emperor,” Jinseon’s mood changed again.
A smile spread across my lips again.
When I saw that smile, my eyes slowly began to widen.
“You, no way.”
“nice to meet you. It’s our old face. “We weren’t that close, though.”
The appearance of the emperor who had died in the previous episode briefly hardened my thoughts.
I thought it was a bit strange for Jinseon to climb the floors so quickly, but the emperor was involved.
‘If I had seen it from a lower level, I would have thought that Jinseon had become a double personality due to the emperor’s death.’
This is the 49.5th floor.
With the 50th floor just around the corner, this was the only thing that could explain Jinseon, who climbed the floor faster than Ha Il-seong and me.
“Didn’t you die from Yasin?”
“that’s right. I didn’t even know he would prepare something like that. “I let my guard down.”
My eyebrows furrowed when I saw him smiling and talking about the fact that he had died as if it were just small talk.
“So, why is the dead guy here?”
“It’s thanks to Jin. Because Jin-i has an S-class class that summons the dead. In addition, the target’s class and stats are inherited intact.”
Now it has been proven how I climbed the floors so quickly.
The Emperor is the first person in history to lead a group of people to break through the Crown Road to the 99th floor.
With that guy’s class and stats, it was definitely possible.
“Why are you telling me all that?”

It’s about the S class.
When I had doubts about the emperor who had openly revealed to me the class that was to be kept secret even at the risk of death, he pointed to the sky.
“above.”
A bittersweet smile appeared on his lips.
“Something pretty serious is going on.”
“Do you need my help?”
“Yes, I was able to climb quickly even if I was alone because of Yasin. “Because I originally moved along with everyone.”
When I heard the word “everyone,” my expression slowly began to frown.
Maybe it was because my expression wasn’t good, but he questioned me.
“There’s something about this reaction that I don’t like.”
“Why didn’t you tell this to the Sword King and your guards?”
He opened his eyes at my question.
Then he immediately laughed out loud and looked straight into my eyes.
His eyes were still eerily clear.
“If I reveal myself, won’t Yashin find out that I’m possessed like this?”
“The Sword King has the highest constellation attached to him. Even among the highest constellations, he is the strongest weapon god. “He would be able to keep Yashin in check, right?”
“What do you want to say?”
A chill began to appear on my face.
“Why should I help someone who deceives even those who trust you?”
I remember.
The sadness and anger shown by his personal guards at the time of the emperor’s death.
The royal guard, who aimed their swords at Yasin’s subordinates and killed them as demons, served the emperor more than anyone else.
Faith is valuable when it comes and goes.
If he had communicated with the Sword King in advance, he might have been able to trust him to some extent.
‘Otherwise, there is no reason to trust it.’
Yashin had already betrayed us in the previous episode.
Even though he is the emperor, what reason is there not to betray him?
I don’t know much about Jinseon.
It’s just that she followed the emperor very much.
If I were Yashin, I would have swallowed Heaven and persuaded her to help him by offering to bring the emperor back to life.
“Wait a minute, let’s calm down.”
The emperor must have sensed that my suspicions were growing stronger and raised his hands to show that he had no intention of fighting.
“I know what you’re thinking, and I know why you doubt me. “More than anything, I overlooked the fact that you didn’t have much interaction with Jinseon.”
Did you notice my thoughts?
Just when I thought I was good at reading what other people were thinking, he pointed out into the alley.
“The Sword King is coming soon, right? When she comes she’ll tell me right away what happened to her. “By the time we get here, everyone probably has a way to avoid Yasin’s surveillance network.”
And the emperor smiled bitterly.
“More than anything, I didn’t even know that the Sword King had a weapon god attached to him. I was also busy stopping the so-called king from below. To be honest, information leaks are a problem, but I had little information about what was happening downstairs. “If I do this, will you understand my situation?”
As if there was no need to fight, he told me roughly his situation.
I said I would not lower my guard, but I nodded for now.
As this guy said, the Sword King is coming.
It wouldn’t be a bad idea to watch her talk and make some moves.
“I will tell you the story upstairs when the Sword King comes. “Is it okay?”
“okay.”
Hearing my words, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Being emotional and honest about your feelings.
This is what the King of Swords once said to me that I resembled the emperor.
Just as I am honest with my emotions, the emperor is also honest with his emotions.
This was the same for the emperor seen on the floor that embodied the past.
But now, instead of the awkwardness I felt at the time, I was filled with relaxation.
That leisure always makes people feel strangely comfortable.
When I look at him, I feel like I will be safe no matter what happens.
‘Is the emperor the emperor?’
That’s not something anyone can copy.
“Then shall we go meet the Sword King?”
With those words, the emperor left the alley and I followed him.
Looking at his back reminded me of the previous episode.
Right now, I’m looking at Jinseon’s back, but I always followed this guy while looking at his back.
At the time, I was struggling to keep up, but now that I am climbing the floors on my own, I feel like I have grown quite a bit.
As I came out of the street, I saw the Sword King in the distance.
She was walking as if she had just passed the floor, and when she saw me, she waved her hand and then tilted her head when she saw Jinseon.
“What happened?”
The King of Swords seemed to sense something unusual about Jinseon and I being together, and when the Emperor asked a question, the Emperor introduced himself as he had done to me earlier.
The King of Swords, who was listening to the emperor’s words, was in a daze as if he had lost his mind, but soon became emotional.
“I thought you wouldn’t die so easily.”
She looked like she was about to cry with her bright red eyes, but she soon got her emotions under control.
“Sword King, do you think this guy is the emperor?”
When he looked back at the Sword King, who had managed to control his emotions, a sly smile appeared on the emperor’s lips.
“If it’s a story that only we two know, I can tell you.”
“don’t do it.”
The Emperor quickly turned to me as the Sword King quickly covered his mouth.
Wouldn’t you trust me with this much?
There is no benefit to me if I doubt it now.
“Okay, just tell me the information upstairs. “What is going on?”
“Sure.”
The Emperor nodded and told us the situation 50 floors up.
The 50th floor, where nine other worlds, including ours, merge and the number of participants increases to nearly 500,000.
In some ways, it is similar to the 9th level of the Demon Palace that we experienced in the previous level, and the new people we encounter are from another parallel world on Earth.
In the world I lived in, just as humans reigned as kings of the Earth, there were also animals that were different from humans, or even insects that evolved and became masters of the Earth. They are the ones who rule in each world.
‘There are quite a few people I’ve interacted with as well.’
The emperor said everything because he was a focal point even for them.
But there is one biggest problem.
This is because the people who followed Yashin the most were mainly in other worlds.
I thought they were the problem.
“The moment you go up to the 50th floor, all those who have been coming up from below are also moved to the 50th floor.”
The emperor sounded more like a bolt from the blue.
“… … “What are you talking about?”
“Unfortunately, it’s true. There was an uproar because of that. “I also climbed quickly, but unlike us, there were some worlds where constellation changes did not occur.”
My eyebrows furrowed.
If you already know the ending of the story and the solution, climbing the floor is not difficult.
As I said, we alone surpassed the 50th floor in about two months, let alone a year.
“Thanks to this, conflicts between worlds are intensifying, and thanks to an unprecedented power war, we are in a crisis situation. Meanwhile, Yasin is recruiting the top constellations.”
“So what do you want to do?”
“The moment we climb to the 50th floor, the remaining participants in our world will immediately be moved to the 50th floor. “We need a focal point for them.”
