Episode 299 < Grand Campaign. (1) >
One.
It is said that on the day Geomje appeared on the 50th floor, all the constellations that decorated the sky at that time whispered.
[The warhorse of the Eternal Plain invites you to join.]
[Cattle Harvesting Ruins recommends you to play the full-length campaign.]
[The eyes that dwell in the labyrinth invite you to join.]
[The embodiment of love and lust offers you the apostolate.]
[The lotus flower reflected on the water invites you to join.]
[A lonely seeker… … .]
From prestigious constellations to minor level constellations.
It was definitely true. No matter what constellation he is placed under, that human will shine! As he went through the quests woven by the constellations, it was clear that Geomje would win the most dramatic love, the most dramatic victory, and the most dramatic life in the world.
-Hmm.
I could tell by looking in his eyes. The Geomje’s eyes were clear. When he was hurt, he had the intention to accept the severity of the wound as it was without any hesitation.
-It’s fun.
He did not think that he was [a body too precious to be hurt]. He was not conceited because [he was a body that did not need to be hurt]. He simply tried to become stronger. A monstrous pride lurked in this man’s heart.
-But, I refuse.
Geomje grinned as he looked around at the starlight that was flocking to him.
-I choose no one! No constellation is chosen! I’m going to get up to the 100th floor and see the scenery there before anyone else, and then I’ll just keep it to myself and then I’ll keep my mouth shut. I won’t tell you anything!
The King of Swords laughed, his hair redder than the sun flowing.
-If you’re curious about what’s there. Stand up for yourself and come after me! Friendship is not something shared between people who climb a mountain together. Only those who have climbed the same mountain are worthy of friendship!
Geomje moved away and became starlight himself.
99th floor.
The place where he fell as a shooting star was just one thousand won away.
People could not find his remains. This is because it was impossible to climb to the 99th floor. Even the followers of the Sword Emperor and those who arbitrarily called themselves believers of the Sword Emperor could not get close.
Is he really dead? Or is it still on the 99th floor? Perhaps it reached the 100th floor and disappeared somewhere without a trace.
The tower didn’t tell me anything. There were only rumors.
-…….
There was a person who reached the highest stage after Geomje. He was a wizard. He was also the only human to reach the 90th floor. However, as soon as the Sword Emperor’s presence disappeared, the wizard turned his back.
-You idiot.
She was an elder of the Magic Tower.
2.
There are many things I realized while climbing the tower, but if I had to choose one of the most realistic realizations, it would be as follows.
It is difficult to solve world affairs with words alone.
“damn!”
Cheaaa! The spear flew away with an unpleasant clanking sound. It was the spear held by the black-haired man, the apostle of Mahos.
I whipped out the aura and blew the spear out into the distance.
“Ugh… … !”
“You are strong.”
I twitched my shoulder muscles. It has come to a conclusion.
Nevertheless, the man tried to somehow return the spear by manipulating the Aurors, but it would be difficult to beat me in a purely Auror-to-Auror fight.
My teacher was a person who moved his muscles, internal organs, bones, and heart with the help of empty space even while his entire body was being eaten by the zombie virus.
I am his successor. The training itself is different from other people.
‘what. This isn’t the first time we’ve had a sparring.’
I spoke leisurely.
“These are not empty words. You are really strong. “If he came to our world, he would probably be counted among the top five.”
“cheeky… … ! “I haven’t even used the power of Mahos yet!”
“This is the general public. “I haven’t called in my family’s army yet.”
I sheathed the holy sword.
“When I call the family name, it becomes awesome.”
“what?”
“The sky is turning upside down and the ground is falling over. Sounds like crap, right? It’s real. “You will probably have a heart attack when you find out who my family’s matriarch is.”
It’s the Constellation Killer.
“… … Although it would be a lie. “If this is true, why don’t they call in such a great army?”
“Protect the house.”
I shrugged.
“What if another world invades while I’m away? Since those kids are watching over the house, I can now roam around with peace of mind. “They are all kids as strong as me.”
“…….”
The apostle of Mahos bit his lip gently.
[You passed the test.]
[The subjugation and tracking orders on you will be lifted!]
[‘The Warhorse of the Eternal Plains’ recognizes you as a temporary believer!]
[From now on, you will share the main quest with the ‘Warhorse of the Eternal Plains’ side.]
okay.
It seems that the apostle is not yet convinced of victory or defeat, but the constellation he serves has clearly surrendered. Mahos acknowledged that I would become a [temporary believer] and participate in his quest.
With this, I was able to directly participate in Mahos’ quest. It’s not like they’re officially serving Mahos.
Quite an unusual case. It was a special case.
“It’s unsightly. “Please come out quickly.”
Another hunter walked out, pushing away the apostle of Mahos.

“Hello! “I am a [Jester], one of the apostles of the [Eye that dwells in the Labyrinth].”
Hunter, as the name suggests, was a woman dressed in a clown costume. Red and white powder covered her face. The heavy makeup obscured all of her facial expressions, making it difficult to read her emotions.
“I came here after hearing that you would become a believer of all the constellations that exist on the 50th floor.”
“It’s a temporary believer.”
“haha. “It’s fun!”
The face of the clown who said it was fun looked very boring. More than ten hunters were waiting behind her. All of them were apostles of one constellation, regardless of their power or promises.
They came to test me on behalf of the Constellation.
“Mahos has tested your [strength], so let me see your [luck]!”
Cheoeok.
The clown brought a table.
And as many as 13 [cups] were turned over on top of it.
“A labyrinth is ultimately about wandering around looking for the right answer!”
The clown smiled.
“No matter how difficult the twisted maze is, or how many evil traps lurk in the dungeon, if you put it briefly, it is no different from these 13 cups. Come on, come on! Death King. “Only one of these cups contains candy that can be eaten first.”
The clown knocked on the cups, tap, tap, tap. Transparent glass. Each cup contained a piece of candy that children might like.
“In other words,”
“It means that the remaining 12 glasses contain candy that you shouldn’t eat.”
“haha! Okay! “You got it right!”
The clown grinned with a pleasant smile, a smile that made himself feel good and turned sour to others.
“They are all extremely poisonous!”
“It looks like an unsightly glass, but it is still a sacred object. An item personally given to me by [Eyes Dwelling in the Labyrinth], who highly appreciated my clowning skills! “It can’t pass through with ordinary auras, and the things inside can’t be deciphered with any skill!”
okay. I know.
“Ego! Come on! Death King. A challenger who dares to win the favor of all the constellations. Even though it’s just a pointless boasting of a talent, it goes well with my little prank… … .”
“thank you for this food.”
I immediately picked up the fourth cup and ate the candy placed in it.
“to?”
The clown, who was at the height of his splendid tirade, looked dumbfounded. Regardless, I chewed the candy with no expression. And swallowed it.
“It tastes like mint. “I like yogurt-flavored candy.”
“…….”
“Do you know yogurt candy? There is a candy that is sweet but has a slightly milky taste. When I go to a meat restaurant, they sometimes prepare that for me. that is
“It’s really sweet.”
There was silence.
The clown slowly cupped his cheeks with both hands.
His face looked very shocked.
“Oh, this can’t be right…” ! Holy sh*t! Oh, my God! How on earth… !?”
I laughed out loud.
“Did this pass the test?”
“I don’t know! I don’t know! How could a mere clown judge a person born with such strong luck? Be scared, be scared…”
“It’s not over yet.”
Stop.
“What do you mean by that?”
“You said it. “Among these, there is [candy you can eat first].”
I put away the sixth cup.
“That means there are some [candies you have to eat later].”
And, without hesitation, I ate the candy placed in the cup.
“…….”
“ruler. I ate two. How many are left now?”
“… … “There is only one left.”
“okay.”
I deliberately smiled and looked around at the remaining glass cups.
‘How can it be more difficult than defeating Apostle Mahos?’
This is not my [first] experience with these tests. To be precise, it may be the first time for others, but for me, I have already experienced it several times.
‘I died 9 times needlessly.’
Today, I am already experiencing the same day for the 10th time.
It may be a battle of skill, but if it really is a test based on pure luck like this, I can’t help it. The first few times, I ate a candy filled with poison and died unexpectedly. Afterwards, he was excited and said, “I got the answer right!”, but died an hour later.
[The candy you can eat first] also contains poison, so if you don’t eat the other candies in order, it will go bad.
“Where can I find delicious candy? Is this it? Or this? Uhmmm. It’s difficult. Either way, it looks delicious so it’s a big deal… .”
The clown, who had no way of knowing that I had returned, was just looking at me blankly.
“Uh, how… ? Not even detected by skills, not even by aurors… .”
“ah.”
I lifted the first cup.
“This is it.”
“…….”
“This candy is begging me to eat it. He’s screaming that he’s really harmless to the human body, but ugh. Because it’s noisy. “I feel sorry for you, so I have to eat it.”
I peeled off the candy wrapper and chewed it. The poison from the first candy was neutralized by the second candy, and the poison from the second candy was completely detoxified by the third candy.
Normally, the clown would have watched me slowly become addicted and tremble in pain and said, ‘Hahaha! Are you suffering? It must be painful! Ego! Ego! Go ahead and choose! Find your own answer! You can choose your own correct answer with your own hands!’ And he trembled like a devil.
“Are we done now?”
“…….”
But now, when he saw me clearing the mission in less than a minute, he was gaping.
I smiled brightly.
“I often hear people say I’m lucky.”
[You passed the test.]
[‘Eyes Dwelling in the Labyrinth’ recognizes you as a temporary believer!]
[From now on, you will share the main quest with the ‘Eyes Dwelling in the Labyrinth’ side.]
Yes.
[You passed the test.]
[‘Lonely Seeker’ recognizes you as a temporary believer!]
[From now on, you will share the main quest with the ‘Lonely Seeker’ side.]
Bae Hu-ryeong rejected all the Holy See’s recommendations.
I climbed the tower alone, honestly, but alone.
But he failed.
[You passed the test.]
[‘The Last Sword in the Wild’ recognizes you as a temporary believer!]
[From now on, you will share the main quest with the ‘Last Sword in the Wild’ side.]
I don’t know why it failed.
One thing is clear: even hunters as old as Bae Hu-ryeong failed to climb the mountain alone.
Then it is not the way.
It’s just a dead body.
I want to believe that Bae Hu-ryeong failed not because he was weak or lacking, but because he chose the wrong method.
no.
Believe.
thus.
[You passed the test.]
[‘The Bells That Ring the Dead’ recognizes you as a temporary believer!]
[From now on, you will share the main quest with the ‘Bells that Ring the Dead’ side.]
I take the exact opposite path he chose.
-…….
If Bae Hu-ryeong walked the path of political faction, I walk the path of witchcraft.
If Bae Hu-ryeong climbed Dokyacheongcheong alone without forming any force, then I will form a force. Gains favor with the tower’s residents. Unite the large guilds. Accept the love of a lover, accept the loyalty of a vassal, and create a family.
Establish a family dynasty.
[You passed the test.]
[You passed the test.]
[You passed the test.]
Bae Hu-ryeong did not serve any constellations.
Therefore, I will serve [all constellations].
“… … good.”
The evening has already passed.
The more than ten apostles were defeated one by one, and now there was only one person left in the waiting line.
“I. “No, I’ll admit that we were looking down on you.”
The last remaining apostle was wearing a cape redder than the sunset.
[Incarnation of love and lust].
The girl who was Babit’s apostle glared at me seriously.
“You proved that you are strong. That luck is with you. Even if you didn’t survive purely by luck, at least you have the skills to attribute your success to luck.”
The girl took off her cloak. A thick fur cape fell to the floor.
Then she took out a water bottle.
“But do you really know [love]?”
Wow!
The apostle of Babit sprinkled water on his head. He had dew flowing down his fresh blonde hair. The sunset was burning, and the light that burned the sky red also hid in the water droplets on the girl, quietly blushing her cheeks.
“You and me. “It’s a competition to see who can make the other person excited first.”
Babbit’s power unfolded, surrounding the area with pink light.
The girl smiled sadly, as if she was used to it, as if the expressionless expression she had made up until now was a lie. The corners of his eyes lowered – arrogance and pride disappeared from the corners of his mouth.
[Come over here].
The apostle’s smile, slow hand gestures, and eyes said so.
“I’ll tell you in advance. Sorry.”
The sunset was falling for her.
“You will like me.”
“…….”
I shook my head.
“I have multiple identities. “Just like everyone else.”
I slowly approached Babit’s apostle.
“A leader of a certain denomination. The head of a family. The leader of the troupe. Someone’s father. Friends of one race. Now, many names will be added to it, such as Mahos’ temporary believer, Babbit’s believer, and so-and-so’s believer. The more I climb the tower, the more names will be attached to me. but… … .”
I stood tall in front of the girl.
The apostle, soaked in water, looked up at me.
“The name that comes first to me never changes.”
I smiled.
“I am the man of the most beautiful person in the world.”
“…….”
“He didn’t have a heart, so I boiled my heart and gave it to him.”
Before I was a hunter, I was a lover.
and.
[You passed the test.]
[‘The Incarnation of Love and Lust’ recognizes you as a temporary believer!]
[From now on, you will share the main quest with the ‘Incarnation of Love and Lust’ side.]
That day, I signed contracts with numerous constellations.
