Episode 31
[Your second job is a trainer.]
After hearing the message, thinking stopped for a moment.
Because it was a very different type of job than what I vaguely expected.
“A trainer… … .”
Spear, sword, sword, bow, gun, sword, fist… … .
I think my mental image of the class was limited to weapons and attack methods.
It was also a kind of prejudice.
Almost all of my colleagues and my job were like this.
Now, there are two occupations listed in the occupation section of my status window.
Gladiator and trainer.
A skill called
I quickly checked the job information.
[breaker]
You can raise monsters as your pets. However, you must subdue the monster and induce complete submission… … .
I read the information about my new job several times.
How do I feel about starting two jobs from now on?
… … good night.
Actually, I didn’t think it would be a disaster.
Because the luck correction effect provided by Nike’s ring was extremely deceptive.
Is it a mythical item for no reason?
Nevertheless, this was a result that exceeded expectations.
Looking at the information window, it says that the pet can level up just like me, and that it obeys any of my commands.
This means that in some cases, it could be my extra life.
A strategy book had already been sent to the wise man’s status window.
[Strategy: There is a monster on the 7th floor that is suitable as a pet. In addition to its decent combat abilities, it has excellent agility and endurance and can be used as a means of transportation.]
The 7th floor is the very near future.
It feels like a perfect match to find the right person at the right time.
Although we haven’t even started on the 6th floor yet, it was the first time since I came to this tower that I was already looking forward to the next floor.
* * *
“ha!”
“What kind of place is this?!”
It was a complete mistake on my part to think that the 7th floor was the near future.
The 6th floor was an overwhelmingly longer stage than all the floors I had experienced so far.
A struggle against endless waves of monsters.
“Hoyoung hyung! “You’re already level 5!”
Se-yong Kim responded immediately to my level up.
It’s funny to use the expression ‘already’ at level 5, but to me, it’s literally a level jump.
It was a series of hunting, hunting, hunting, hunting for 15 days, so it was worth it.
“Seyong, aren’t you tired?”
“How boring! “It’s great to just level up like crazy!”
“Crazy guy.”
Maybe this guy has the constitution of an apocalypse.
And at this point, further leveling up has become meaningless for me.
My body, muscle, sensitivity, and sense stats were set to 40 and had reached their limit.
[Your abilities have reached a singular point.]
[Stats cannot be increased further by leveling up until the limit is surpassed through training.]
I tried using gold just in case, but this was also impossible.
[Stat increase through gold has reached its limit.]
After stat 40, spending gold was also blocked.
‘It’s training.’
It wasn’t an issue I thought much about because it was easy to grow with the game system.
Even during the last novel possession mission, I chose a novel rather than a martial arts book, so it was difficult to train.
But there was no reason to worry too much.
At that time, the strategy book recommended me a novel rather than a martial arts book, so it was clear that a solution to training would come out soon.
Taaaang!
Taaaaang!
There was a crazy bitch in this area who was shooting without warning.
Unlike regular players, Son Seo-yeon’s stats exceeded 40.
Perhaps this was also a privilege of Salseong.
If Son Seo-yeon’s abilities are blown out like this, problems will arise.
Until now, I have been able to keep it in check to some extent, but if my abilities expand further, it will become uncontrollable.
Anyway, I hope this boring place is over now.
Taaaaang!
[All monsters on the 6th floor have been annihilated.]
[Return to the lobby.]
The 6th floor mission, which was really tough, was finally completed.
Luckily, we were all able to survive on this floor as well.

This was a great joy and pride.
“This damn top has a mild taste these days?
Everyone agreed with Seo Jun-ho’s words.
The 2nd and 3rd floors were a bit harsh, but the 4th, 5th, and 6th floors were easily overcome.
Of course, if I hadn’t been there, the results would have been quite different.
In any case, when things are loose like this, it’s the perfect time to get stabbed in the back.
[We will begin gold settlement.]
To be honest, I wasn’t confident that I would get the most settlement on the 6th floor.
The player who caught the most monsters was obviously Son Seo-yeon.
[You have been paid 12500 gold.]
uh.
Isn’t that too much?
Even compared to the 8,600 gold that Son Seo-yeon received, the difference is quite significant.
For a moment I suspected a system error, but that couldn’t be possible.
For a moment, my eyes met with Son Seo-yeon.
“why?”
Do you know that you are not number one?
Even I don’t know what message is being sent only to Salseong.
All I can see is the status window.
“You shameful bastard.”
This was the answer given to Son Seo-yeon.
“why?”
“Aren’t you manipulating the level?”
Of course, that’s not true, but one thing has become clear.
Son Seo-yeon knows that I received the most compensation.
And one more powerful hypothesis.
The reason for my first place settlement may be the compensation effect for low levels.
I think there will be many things to be thankful for in this setting in the future.
“It’s not manipulation?”
When I give a leisurely look, Son Seo-yeon’s eyebrows narrow slightly.
I don’t know what on earth this guy is thinking about this apocalypse.
Even though he is stronger than me, I feel nervous for some reason.
I guess I’ll just sleep with my legs stretched out until the 7th floor mission starts.
* * *
[The 7th floor mission will begin soon.]
[The 7th floor is a place for reinforcement.]
“enforce?”
“Enhancing that item in the game?”
The players’ pupils dilated.
Those who have played gambling games know this.
How sweet yet dangerous this strengthening is.
[Monsters on the 7th floor randomly drop reinforcement stones the moment they die.]
[Players can strengthen their items using reinforcement stones.]
[However, only weapons or armor can be strengthened.]
As expected, the prediction was correct.
[Enhancement probability correction items will soon be sold in the store window.]
Even the damn meandering elements.
Several male players shouted in unison.
“Let’s all be careful!”
This is known empirically.
The player is in an absolutely disadvantageous position on this game board.
But I don’t think this tower will be that soft.
It was clear that they would somehow get rid of the players and then push them back to the harsh mission on the 8th floor.
“For those of you who don’t have the confidence to resist temptation, it might be a good idea to spend your gold now.”
This time I made a suggestion.
By completing the 6th floor mission, people had accumulated a certain amount of gold in their pockets.
Now you can barely purchase useful items that suit you.
“So, Hoyoung Lee, are you also planning to purchase the item?”
“Not me.”
I pointed to the Indomitable Sword and the Theia armor I was wearing.
Both are rare items.
At this time, properties rated above this level have not been released and are not solvent.
And above all, there was no reason to avoid strengthening.
As long as I have Nike’s ring, I won’t have to use blood.
“I have to buy the item right away like Hoyoung said.”
It was Chae Yi-seol.
A moment later, what was in his hand was Lethe’s necklace.
It was an item that greatly increased magical power, so it was a good choice for her as a healer.
Since it is not a weapon or armor, there will be no temptation to strengthen throughout the 7th floor.
“and. Lee Seol, your acting skills are the best, right?”
“Maybe Lee Seol is wise.”
Everyone was whispering about Chae Yi-seol’s behavior, but they couldn’t actually put my suggestion into practice.
It would be beneficial not to attempt reinforcement on the 7th floor.
But everyone was wondering what might happen.
“Seyong, aren’t you buying anything?”
Just looking at this guy’s appearance makes me even more worried because he looks like he’s going to be ruined by gambling.
“Bro, when I was in society, I was called the God of Strength?”
Crazy guy.
My eyes were already half-closed at the thought of Ganghwa.
Perhaps
It seems like most people except me are looking at me irrationally at this moment.
Every time a common message is heard, it feels like everyone is being captivated by something.
[The 7th floor mission lasts for 72 hours, and you can freely go back and forth between the lobby and the 7th floor without any clear conditions.]
[Enhancement is only possible in the lobby.]
[Then let’s begin.]
A portal was formed in the middle of the lobby, and the stage on the 7th floor opened.
* * *
Players had a choice.
Should you go hunting after passing through the portal or just relax in the lobby?
If you choose the latter, survival for three days can be guaranteed.
Without any conditions.
From the tutorial to the 7th floor, I have never experienced such a peaceful situation.
No matter how easy the mission was, there was always danger, and sometimes someone could even die.
“And yet they all left.”
“That’s right.”
The only ones still left in the lobby are Chae Yi-seol and me.
Everyone was so busy that they left without looking back.
There’s no way our colleagues could be this reckless, but it looks like they put some kind of bewitching potion on the message window.
“Mr. Lee Seol, don’t you have any regrets? “I’ve already used up all my gold, so strengthening it has actually become difficult.”
“Regret. I can’t do things like gambling because I’m so new. Hi-Hi.”
It doesn’t seem to be a new breast, but it was still a good choice.
“Still, you have to level up, so why don’t you go hunting soon?”
“yes!”
I passed through the portal with Chae Yi-seol for the last time.
Here on the 7th floor, I have to kill two birds with one stone.
One is to bring the pet recommended in the strategy book.
The other is to make full use of Nike’s effect to raise the level of my items.
After successfully clearing this 7th floor, I will be much further ahead than other players.
“wow!”
The scenery outside the portal was once again a refreshing shock.
It felt like I was on a zoo safari.
The 7th floor was a fairly large island, clearly divided into sections with barbed wire depending on the type of monster.
I started walking along the road on the island with Chae Yi-seol.
“As expected, the area near the portal is the hottest place.”
Inside the barbed wire, a group of Lycanwolves and several players were already fighting together.
They probably go back and forth between the lobby and the 7th floor from time to time to strengthen.
Whoa whoa!
Lycan Wolf groaned and spit out something when hit by Kim Se-yong’s stone fist.
A fist-sized stone with a brilliant red glow.
The pace is fast from the beginning.
“It’s up! Ganghwaseok!”
Kim Se-yong screamed and jumped out of the barbed wire.
Looks like I’ll go straight to the lobby and strengthen.
“Seyong, don’t get excited.”
“I feel like I got lucky from the beginning. “Kkkkkk.”
This guy is in very excited mode because the reinforcement stone appears right away on the first hunt.
I needed to calm down a little.
“Seyong, I have a question. Let me ask you just one question.”
“uh! What.”
“What on earth are you trying to strengthen? “You walk around with your bare fists anyway.”
“uh?”
You idiot.
Looking at the reaction, it seems like this guy has finally realized it.
The old long sword I received during the tutorial seemed to have been left unused in my inventory for a while, and I was curious as to why I was so excited about strengthening it when I wasn’t even wearing any armor or anything.
“I don’t think I’ll ever use weapons in the future anyway. “Buy appropriate armor or strengthen it and use it.”
“uh? uh!”
“Honestly, what I really recommend is that you just level up. men and horses.”
Of course, there’s no way he could hear what I just said.
Except for Chae Yi-seol, everyone seems to be truly possessed by something.
“brother! “Then I’ll go straight to the lobby!”
Se-yong Kim ran straight away without even looking back.
I just made a recommendation, the choice is up to you.
Still, I’m sure it won’t explode at the first reinforcement.
Anyway, this is the monster I’m looking for as a pet. I wonder what kind of guy he is.
It would have been convenient if the strategy had been clearly presented, but this time it was a bit unfriendly.
It probably isn’t the lycan wolf in the barbed wire right next to it.
According to the description in the strategy book, it should be a little bigger than this guy.
Because that way I can ride it.
For now, I’ll have to move forward and look for it.
