Stuck in The Tower

Chapter 24 Smelling the Smell and

Trapped in the Tower.

“haha. Uh heh heh.”

I laughed dejectedly.

The top of the tower is the 100th floor.

Currently, the top floor pioneered by mankind is the 65th floor, and the difficulty level after the 60th floor is said to be different from the previous one.

He had confidence until he entered the tower.

The 60th floor is about a little over half of the entire tower.

I thought that if I could become an S-class Hunter with just that much, it would be worth it.

now?

“Is the tutorial like this too?”

I realized with my body that my confidence back then was arrogance.

I didn’t know the difficulty level would be this high.

How long will it take to get to the 100th floor?

I don’t think I’ll be able to do it in 12 years.

It took 1 year and 8 months for Kim Han-seong, an S-class hunter who cleared the 61st floor, to return from the tower.

This is quite a long time, but it is said that time passes faster in the tower than outside.

[Tip. Worried about the outside world? Do not worry. Time inside the tower passes twice as fast as outside!]

Looking at the tip message that was created just in time, it’s clear.

If you do a simple calculation with this.

“Three years and four months were spent inside the tower.”

3 years and 4 months to the 61st floor.

On average, it goes up about 1.5 floors per month.

If you go up to the 100th floor at the same speed, it will take about 66 months. It takes about five and a half years.

“They say five and a half years, but in reality it will take longer.”

The higher you go, the more difficult the difficulty becomes.

Is it okay to hold it for 8 or 9 years? Or 10 years?

Maybe it would take longer than that.

It’s a dark time.

Even more so if the place is not in modern times, but inside the tower where monsters and villains are rampant.

Top, who always has to be nervous.

A place where there is no such thing as safety.

It is a time when people are persecuted and have more than a nervous breakdown.

Didn’t a similar tip message come to mind in the past?

People who stay in the tower for a long time are likely to go crazy.

If that’s the case, then I…

-Party! match!

I slapped my cheek.

Come to your senses. Even if I guess like this, it doesn’t make any sense.

Even if you’re already discouraged, the reality won’t change.

And I’m not alone in the tower.

“Eugheh!”

Isn’t Deokchun here beating the bed and sobbing?

I read somewhere that interacting with a pet can reduce mental stress.

Can depression be prevented?

Maybe this was the reason why he gave me the pet as a reward.

“Deokchun, let’s do well!”

I held out my hand with a bright face.

-The iron-clad

Deokchun slapped my cheek with his tongue.

The tongue that dropped after pulling the cheek stickyly.

Why does this guy keep slapping his cheeks?

I brushed my cheeks.

It’s embarrassing, but let’s move on.

Wouldn’t he be embarrassed too? I met the wrong owner once.

In fact, I’m the most unfair.

Did you tell me to pack those things for this guy?

“Still, the objective situation isn’t bad.”

Only two S-class powers.

One frog stronger than me.

He got more points than others and even has a growth title.

Plus infinite coins.

No matter what, the challenge itself is that you can do it any number of times.

“Even an idiot can break it if he tries a few hundred times.”

Fortunately, there doesn’t seem to be a penalty for dying. If you see no explanation.

but. Being unable to go outside is already a huge penalty, but if there are other side effects, the balance is out of balance.

“There are still many hidden things in the tower.”

The only quest I got on the 1st floor was like that, and the no-hit clear reward I got on the 3rd floor was like that.

There are many other ways to become stronger, so it’s not something I can’t do if I build up my specs step by step.

“Isn’t that right, Deokchun?”

“To that.”

Deokchun, still sullen but slightly cheered up, nodded.

What can I do? If I can’t go out, he can’t go out either.

I have to fight even if I’m forced to.

hmm?

“But why do you want to go out? I’ve never been outside before.”

Wasn’t it even the kid who lived in the tower?

“To the ark?”

At my question, Deokchun tilts his head as if he had heard something nonsensical.

It’s like asking if you would want to stay here.

That’s right. Even if you are like me, you want to escape.

It’s my hometown, it’s Nabal, and if I can’t live, I’m leaving.

okay. this is my mistake

“Would you like some flies? They dig bugs in the shop window.”

“Ugh.”

I was thinking of buying the corpse of an insect-type monster to ease his mood, but looking at the reaction, it didn’t seem like he was very willing.

So what does he eat? It’s a spirit creature, so it doesn’t eat normal food.

I don’t know.

I’ll try to give you something later.

I ate baekhwan, but can I eat something else?

“Let’s go down first.”

My Mac went numb.

You need to replenish sugar.

I’m a bit hungry too.

They said they would prepare a meal for you when you entered the inn.

One point is a waste now. You should take good care of that too.

Koreans love rice.

Let’s eat well and cheer up.

Because I still have a lot of work to do.

* * *

6th floor safety zone.

The plaza was still crowded while Suhyeon ate at the inn.

There was a group of people waiting for guild members who didn’t know when they would come up, and people who had just finished the tutorial were coming steadily.

Even so, it was true that there were more people than usual.

“Oh, you’re really strict. You did everything with the guild check.”

“I’m sorry. A lot of talk above. Don’t you know everything?”

The reason was simple.

It is because the inspection was strengthened to catch Petit Gongdu.

But I couldn’t get caught.

Because Cho Hyeon-soo, a petit gong duin, had already left.

“It hurts.”

A man wearing the Sangun Guild mark wrinkled his face and crossed his legs.

Jihyeok Oh. The processing center that manages the 6th floor.

His face was full of annoyance.

-He leaned comfortably on a large sofa that didn’t match the bustling plaza at all

.

The way he looked at people leisurely with a drink in one hand was heterogeneous, but no one was arguing.

Rather, the whole area was even quiet as they avoided him.

Some rookies snooped around not knowing why, but that was only for a while.

[Oh Ji-hyeok-The Murderer]

I saw the message floating above his head and hurriedly left.

Disposal tubes that exist in each safe zone.

They were planted by large guilds for security.

It had the role of dealing with those who commit crimes in the safe zone or mediating disputes.

This is what is known to the outside world.

“Petit Gondura. If I get caught, I’ll have to tear it to pieces.”

The processing officer was also a cleaner who did all sorts of dirty things in the shadows following the guild’s orders.

As much as that, the influence on the floor that was managed was strong.

There were numerous benefits, but they were not for nothing.

Because the workload was too great.

Especially when the guild is paying close attention to things like this time.

“Hmm?”

Oh Ji-hyeok narrowed his forehead.

What he is holding in his hand is the report submitted by the guild members.

The contents of the new hunters summoned to the plaza were written on it.

“That’s strange.”

Oh Ji-hyeok, who was spinning a ballpoint pen, narrowed his eyes.

It was only 5 hours ago that the order to strengthen control was issued.

So far, non-members have not come up.

In fact, it was impossible to get up to this point without special training or Baek-hwan’s help.

But only one.

“Kim Jeong-soo?”

An unknown entity was written on it.

A man with only a record of receiving a white ring from a member of the Blue Dragon Guild.

I almost inadvertently overlooked it.

The Blue Dragon Guild is not a light place either. Because he even mentioned the names of the guild members himself.

Even so, the proper affiliation did not come out.

“Look at this guy?”

Oh Ji-hyeok’s eyes stand out.

It smelled.

How dare you cheat on your identity with such a cunning trick.

Of course, it may not have been a star.

There were a lot of people, and perfect control was close to impossible even for him to think.

Even if there was a mention above, there were definitely those who passed it off as insignificant.

A man named Kim Jeong-soo could also have acted without any special intention.

but.

“You didn’t do your job properly, bastard.”

Oh Ji-hyeok wasn’t a lax person enough to let go of that.

– Clink!

He threw the cup he was holding onto the floor.

Guild members startled.

“Bring the bastard who wrote the 4th report.”

“All right!”

He shouted as he got up from the sofa, and one of the guild members standing behind him disappeared somewhere.

then after a while

A man who was working hard on the list came forward.

“Did you call me?”

“okay. Just stand there.”

– Quickly!

“Haaaaaagh!”

Just like that, he kicked the shin.

Legs that bend at impossible angles.

The guild member whose leg was broken in the blow screamed.

While everyone flinches, only Oh Ji-hyeok moves calmly.

“Do you know what you did wrong?”

–

He squatted down and grabbed the guild member’s hair and lifted it up.

Guild members tremble in fear while crumpling their faces in pain.

Perhaps he didn’t want an answer, Oh Ji-hyeok continued talking.

While stamping the guild member’s head on the floor.

-thud!

“first. You performed the duties I gave you poorly.”

-thud!

“second. As a result, an unknown person went out to the square.”

-thud!

“third. It’s that you don’t know where he went.”

The guild member’s forehead was torn and the floor turned red. The guild members’ eyes blurred as if they had suffered a concussion, but Oh Ji-hyeok’s momentum did not diminish.

Should I dry it?

The guild members looked at each other, but none of them stepped forward.

If I saw it later, the same thing would happen.

“Keugh. Ugh!”

The guild member whose head was stamped groaned in pain, but Oh Ji-hyeok’s expression did not change.

I just look down at him with a cold face.

-Kuduk

Oh Ji-hyeok lifted up the guild member who was clutching his head.

He’s a strong adult, but he sounds so lighthearted.

He hastily rolled his eyes.

In order to examine the planting of Oh Ji-hyeok, who is holding on to him.

“Aww.”

My mouth is blocked when I try to explain something.

Oh Ji-hyeok’s face he faced did not show mercy.

Eyes glistening with life.

An atmosphere that oppresses people.

A prayer that overwhelms everything.

The obvious gap made him freeze.

how will he be

There was no option to rebel from the beginning.

I just hope this moment passes quickly.

-Seuug

Fortunately, that wish came true.

Oh Ji-hyeok let go of the guild member’s hair and brushed his hands.

He doesn’t even look at him as if his business is over.

he said softly.

“Nevertheless, there is one reason why you are alive. Because he gave me a hint to find him. Thank you for that fact.”

“Thank you!”

When a guild member prostrates himself on the floor and shouts “thank you” over and over again.

Oh Ji-hyeok robbed his seat and got up.

A sight that all those standing around him dared not raise their heads.

As if nothing had happened, Oh Ji-hyeok brushed off the report.

He didn’t like the dirty report with blood in his heart.

Tsk. Oh Ji-hyeok, tongue-tied, began to give instructions.

“As of the current time, the entire 6th floor portal is closed. Looking for a person named Kim Jeong-soo. Conduct.”

“practice!”

The guild members run to the Burinake portal.

Looking at them, Oh Ji-hyeok smiled.

It seemed that it might be easier than I thought to catch Petit Kongdue.
