My Exclusive Tower Guide Chapter 139

Episode 139

I don’t know why I had such a dream.

Was it just a dream, or was this tower interfering with my mental world?

However, even now that I wake up, I still get goosebumps thinking about it.

– See you at the tower. Hoyoung Lee.

I want to meet you too.

That goblin is definitely not an ordinary monster.

Besides dreams, there is one thing that complicated my mind.

It was a strategy book sent out of nowhere.

[Someone is watching you with interest.]

For a strategy, it was a fairly unkind message.

The most important information would be who that ‘someone’ is.

But what was more puzzling was the next sentence.

[And if you continue to use the power of the Demon King, it may cause someone to become very jealous.]

So, who is that ‘someone’?

I wanted to ask, but that was the end of the guide’s message.

Not only is it random, but it’s also bland.

‘It’s jealousy.’

If there is a being that is aware of the Demon King’s power and can even feel jealousy… … .

First of all, players and NPCs will have to be excluded.

In that case, what remains is an unknown transcendental person who may exist somewhere in the tower.

But in fact, this concept is not clear.

First of all, the concept of a transcendent is too abstract.

It has not yet been revealed whether it is a being that can be recognized through the senses like a human, or a spiritual being like the Demon King.

Also, it may be unique or multiple.

‘Anyway, what are you asking me to do?’

The guide didn’t ask me to do anything.

I only gave information.

Sudden information that someone unknown will feel jealous.

The method is very different from usual.

‘Come to think of it… … .’

There was once in the past when I felt that the strategy guide was strange.

That time in Calia, when I aided and abetted the destruction of Ra-den’s temple and created a link with Ra-den.

If so, there is one common denominator between then and now.

Demon King Raden.

‘Why?’

I had to figure out the hidden meaning between the lines.

In fact, the strategy book could have blocked the link between me and the Demon King long ago.

What it didn’t do, however, was that the strategy book wanted this current situation.

The strategy book even suggested using the devil’s power once.

‘At this time, the strategy book seemed to be friendly to the power of the Demon King.’

But this time, it is said that using the devil’s power will make someone jealous.

‘Sweetheart, are you being threatened by someone?’

‘If there is someone threatening you next to you, at least send me a signal so I can know.’

… … As I use my brain to its full potential, the delusions within my brain only get worse.

Still, there is one important point that needs to be pointed out.

It’s jealousy.

If you use it well, you might be able to discover something surprising.

An unknown being watching me, perhaps a transcendent being. I might be able to get one step closer to that guy.

It may be the tower’s most secret secret.

* * *

After a long time, one change occurred.

The Salseong proposal is unconventional.

A lot of that too.

[If you accept the offer to live, you will receive the following benefits.]

1. 4 million gold

2. Legendary skill

3. Legendary weapon

4. Rapid growth in horsepower

[This is the last suggestion. Do you want to accept it?]

Suddenly 4 million gold.

It is true that more gold was released after the 20th floor than before, but it is not a noticeable amount of inflation.

This made it possible to formulate a hypothesis.

The person who feels jealous of the Demon King and the person who proposes murder to me may be the same being.

Because the timing is perfect.

‘And the last offer?’

I put off answering to see how much the proposed amount would go, but I ended up seeing the end of it.

4 million was a very beautiful amount.

“refuse.”

When I actually refuse, I feel regretful.

The message of the Salseong proposal disappeared immediately.

And a new change took its place.

[The strategy book has been sent.]

also?

[The lobby you belong to has an abnormally high survival rate. Therefore, the tower has decided to send you somewhere else for a while.]

[Dispatch period: 21st to 25th floors]

A message delivered immediately after rejecting the offer to live.

It was clear that the guy who made me the offer was upset.

* * *

[There are 48 hours left until the start of the 21st floor.]

The tower has been peaceful for several days.

If you include the time I was passed out, I am guaranteed nearly a week of free time.

“Hoyoung hyung. Let’s do some training together. How about sparring after a long time?”

“Not with Kansu, but directly with me?”

“uh. “Let’s just give it a try and not die.”

Se-yong Kim was more motivated than before.

I heard that since the end of the 20th floor, he hasn’t slept a wink and has been training, and it seems like he almost knows why.

“Something seems a bit urgent, Se-yong?”

“Uh, it’s urgent. “I found out a guy that I have to beat up the next time I meet him.”

“Who is that?”

“there is. “Some unlucky guy.”

“I don’t know who it was, but it looks like they got hit a lot on the 20th floor?”

“what? What kind of nonsense! “I was beating him to dust and the 20th floor suddenly ended!”

This is truly a story told in a stream of consciousness.

There is no context to be found.

“So, to sum it up, the reason you need to quickly become stronger now is so that if you meet him again, you have to beat him to death, but you’ve already beaten him to dust, right?”

“uh.”

It’s so confident that it’s almost ridiculous.

Still, it’s good to be motivated.

Even if you become strong enough, you won’t be able to beat Nam So-hyun, but training itself will increase your chances of survival in the tower.

Moreover, since I have to leave here for a while, I’ll just have to spar without any hesitation.

Just enough not to die.

“But before sparring, I have an important announcement to make.”

“What is making me anxious?”

Seyong still has a good sense of humor sometimes.

I immediately called all my colleagues together.

I plan to speak as calmly as possible.

So that the listeners are not shocked.

“I received a private message from the tower. “I think I’ll be dispatched to another lobby soon.”

“… … Dispatch? What do you mean suddenly… … .”

“It’s literally true. I am temporarily leaving your side. “Not long, just up to the 25th floor.”

Although it was described as temporary, it has five floors.

There is no telling what will happen in the meantime.

There is no guarantee that the member composition will be the same when they return.

Some people are shocked and can’t keep their mouths shut.

Kim Se-yong is telling nonsense that they should take him too.

“Just as you have done well so far, you will be able to do well without me.”

For the first time, my colleagues were put to the test without me.

Of course, the upcoming five floors will be a great challenge for me as well.

Because there is nothing more scary than people in the apocalyptic space.

* * *

Fortunately, there was no shocking incident.

My colleagues calmly accepted farewell to me and each pledged to stand alone.

While sparring aimlessly with Se-yong Kim, a portal opened and I was transported by an unknown force.

So we arrived here.

Twenty-four eyes were looking at me with a puzzled look.

Nine men and three women.

This is a fairly large number of members.

“… … player?”

I nodded to that question.

The name and level displayed above my head proved this.

“Why did you come?”

“No matter how much of a player he is, he’s suspicious!”

It is natural for them to be wary of me.

Because just a few days ago we all went through a bloody day.

“What’s most suspicious is that guy’s level!”

My current face level is 24.

Compared to other players who are running toward third place, it is a ridiculous figure.

“Why don’t you just kill me without thinking about it? “Once we kill him, we’ll find out if he really was a suspicious guy.”

Jaegu Han.

Just looking at the atmosphere and the rice cake, it is a copy of Kim Se-yong.

When I looked at the guy’s information in the status window, his occupation was exquisitely the same as that of a martial artist.

If you do this well, you may end up in a situation where you have to fight 12 to 1 before the 21st floor even starts.

Han Jae-gu walked towards me.

“Does anyone have any objection to me killing this guy?”

Han Jae-gu seems to be the person with the most bold actions here.

Nevertheless, asking for the opinions of other players means that you are not the leader here.

Anyway, no one disputes this.

I must have been dispatched to a very harsh area.

“Then I think everyone agreed… … .”

Whiiiiing-

Han Jae-gu’s fist flew through the wind.

Same stone fist skill as Kim Se-yong.

But there was a difference in power.

Of course, he is clearly lower than Kim Se-yong.

Taaaaah!

After dodging his fist, I struck the top of his head with the sheath of my sword.

Of course, I controlled my strength.

Because you can’t kill someone in a hazing ceremony.

“Wow!”

Han Jae-gu grabbed his head and screamed.

There may be a few stars floating in the air.

“I admit I look suspicious.”

I smiled lightly at the remaining eleven.

“But is it a rule in this area to kill people if they feel suspicious?”

The expressions on their faces right now are interesting.

Half of their eyes are still wary of me, and half of them are looking at me with interest.

I feel Han Jae-gu’s presence behind me again.

“You bastard!!”

The movement is so simple that there is no need to look back.

He simply slashed the sheath on his back once more.

Taaaaagh!

Han Jae-gu, who was running, was hit on the top of his head and fell down.

Depending on how you look at it, it may seem like a slapstick comedy, but the impact will not be small.

I hit again where I hit, and this time I used more mana.

It’s difficult to look like a pushover at first glance.

However, we couldn’t turn them all into enemies, so we had to find a reasonable balance.

I asked Han Jae-gu, who had collapsed.

“… … Are you going to do more?”

Speak kindly.

Since the eyes are already dead, there is no need to treat them roughly.

Jaegu Han shook his head.

“For now, this guy is going to stop.”

He spoke to everyone again.

Then, their information was scanned.

I plan to look for anyone of interest.

Maybe there will be a murderer among them.

… … There was one guy that stood out.

A man of average size.

Although his level and atmosphere were very ordinary, he had a job that was not ordinary at all.

‘Predator?’

This guy’s main skill is predation.

And behind the predation skill, there are several skills attached.

Swordsmanship, spearmanship, archery, boxing… … .

This is my first time seeing a player with a more diverse skill window than me.

Chae-yoon Ahn.

The predator approached me.

“Jaegu is my friend.”

“… … So you’re going to take revenge?”

“That’s not it. Because your abilities are kind of interesting. “Level and actual ability are completely different.”

Well, the eyes can only see certain things.

This guy also recognized me as a student similar to him.

“Well, there are circumstances.”

“I’m not curious about the circumstances, but if you come to our area, you have to pay taxes.”

Immediately, four players gather behind Ahn Chae-yoon.

Little guys.

As expected, this guy was the real leader here.

“Are you trying to steal gold from me?”

“No, I don’t need gold.”

Ahn Chae-yoon looked at me and smiled sinisterly.

I think I know what this guy wants.

What I’m curious about now is how this guy preys on other people’s skills. I would like to see that once.

‘It’s predation.’

It’s a coveted skill.

I want to bring it.

Is there perhaps a way?
