Episode 124

28th floor

“yes?”

At Kim Jae-joo’s question, Gu Jeong-min’s expression hardened.

“ah… … that… … no! I heard something… … .”

Gu Jung-min’s eyes trembled like aspen trees, as if the fear that had faded at the most was revived.

He seems to have decided that Jaejoo Kim is reluctant to talk about it.

– Oh haha

– Yes, that’s right.

-Geun-Bon

“Anyway, thank you very much. I, I’ll just go!”

Goo Jung-min said that Jae-joo Kim should talk to him again, so he quickly poured out his words and ran as if running away from the portal.

– I don’t eat them;

– I was so scared lol

-It’s because we’re used to it haha Is that a normal reaction in the 20th floor?

[Come to the 50th floor quickly ^^]

– In the meantime, see recruitment;

– Don’t cross the line; Because I’ve already applied saliva ㅡㅡ

-Ah, the person who picks it up first is Imja.

[1,000 Coin Sponsorship by User ‘Roki Park!]

[Oh, I’m really drawn to this lol]

-Shut up if you don’t want to be dragged to the underworld

The chat window was confused by the coin sponsorship of new viewers and chatting pouring in,

“… … Thank you for your support. And please refrain from aggressive words and actions. Next time I will kick you out without warning.”

Jaejoo Kim hardened his face to hide his astringent expression.

I expected to some extent this kind of reaction if I showed my outstanding self, but

‘Maybe not all of them live on the 50th floor or higher.’

The reaction pouring out of the chat window was beyond imagination.

[After 1,000 coins by user ‘Rod Marie’!]

[Oh, give me your own little ashes? Let’s be quiet]

– Najakjae haha

– But can you pick a few? There is also a dirty seat that I saw from the first floor.

-The dirty seat is a fan of Jinseong on the first floor ㅋㅋ That’s ㅇㅇ.

-Kingchiman… … If you don’t do this, you won’t look after us, will you?

Even with Kim Jae-joo’s disapproval, chatting with emotions and sponsorships sporadically popped up.

‘It’s too hot.’

Jaejoo Kim quickly pressed the reward alarm window to evoke the atmosphere.

“No one is watching, so I’ll check the rewards here.”

Perhaps, now the compensation was expected to be poor.

What the manager showed him was clearly hostility, and it seemed that the reward on the 26th floor was a piece of bread.

‘If you give me even a basic reward, I’m sure it’ll be good.’

-Manager, you the heck… … .

-Is this wheat flour?

thud.

What fell was a silver treasure chest.

Kafnil was lying on a long chair on the sandy beach, enjoying the comfort.

The sun was shining, even though it was fake, it was warm.

🤩 – Ah.

The sound of white foam crashing against the waves was heard more clearly with my eyes closed.

It was a contradictory rest that could be enjoyed because it was not real.

If all these things were real, he wouldn’t have been able to even put his finger on the ground.

Kafnil was the only thing on an uninhabited island that was only a handful compared to the great sea.

“Capnile.”

it should have been

A dark shadow fell over Capnil.

‘I’m here.’

Kafnil opened his eyes and saw an old man.

A look of indifferent expression and leaning with both hands on a cane.

He was the usual manager.

“What’s going on?”

“Don’t pretend you don’t know.”

The manager’s voice trembled slightly, as if trying to contain his emotions.

“I don’t know.”

“Since when have you been so interested in humans?”

Kafnil let out a small laugh.

“Listen well. Humans are but triggers.”

“I don’t understand.”

The manager’s whole body twitched, then changed into that of a small child.

“Why are you doing this to me? Capnile?”

There was sadness in her weeping voice, but Kafnil didn’t move an eyebrow.

“It was a mistake to take out the baron below me. The more I do that, the more my influence grows, the more I make such a choice, the more my judgment becomes clouded.”

“Capnile… … .”

The manager’s voice became more pathetic.

“Isn’t the tower a place where rules are made? So it could be maintained. Knowing that, didn’t you also pay the human beings a price worthy of it?”

The manager now began to shed tears.

“Have you all forgotten our friendship?”

Kafnil sighed at him, then sat up and looked back at the manager.

“You’ve already said that before.”

The screaming of the manager, who had been weeping, stopped suddenly.

“You have crossed the line.”

The manager’s mouth twisted, and his head twisted.

“Who gave you the damn worldstone?”

A voice that seemed to have been suppressed came out.

“manager.”

Kafnil lowered his eyebrows as if he felt sorry for him, stroking the manager’s head and opening his mouth.

“You have failed again in the end.”

“… … I? In addition? What are you talking about?”

The manager’s eyes twinkled.

Kafnil continued speaking without hesitation.

“Maybe we should have just accepted the predestination.”

“what… … Please explain so I can understand.”

As Kafnil stopped stroking her hand, the manager’s expression distorted painfully.

With a staggering gesture, he stepped back a little, clasped his head and bowed his head.

“To complete the world abandoned by the gods was nothing but greed.”

“Maah!”

As the manager shouted, he slammed one foot heavily.

Ku-woong.

Huge waves that seemed to cover everything were building walls and narrowing them from all directions.

“Are you going to dazzle me with a strange sound again?”

The manager forcibly pulled the corners of his mouth and burst into laughter.

“It is your choice whether to believe it or not.”

Capnil shrugged his shoulders even in the huge waves that blocked even the sunlight, and then continued with a sly smile.

“I will make my own choice.”

The waves swallowed a handful of land in an instant.

Kim Jae-joo carefully approached the box that fell in front of him as if it were a bomb, and opened the lid.

I was determined to see if something would pop out.

The box was quiet enough that I thought it was a worry for nothing.

– What?

– Come on?

-But the manager’s personality is like a sick person, so it’s right to be careful.

[1,000 coin sponsorship by user ‘Laddering’!]

[Are you cursing? official bar]

– No. Your coin is bye ^^

– Oh haha

“… … I will check the contents.”

Kim Jae-joo stepped closer to the box with a shy mind and put his hand in it.

‘What are you thinking… … .’

Inside, he was suspicious of the manager’s unknown behavior.

What came with Kim Jae-joo’s hand was a white cloth cloak.

[Shakhneil’s Cape, Ruler of Shadows.]

[Rank: Hero]

[The Cape of Shakhneil, who dominated the western desert region. It contains the power to rule his army.]

[Function: Implementing the user’s item abilities to the shadow clone – 10%]

Although the cloak was stretched behind the back, the front was open and made active.

– Cape is real lol

-I feel like I’m going to vomit the clone control, but it’s adding an item?

– Wow

– Has anyone been good at writing this?

– No, I can’t see.

Jaejoo Kim was immersed in thought while fiddling with the soft cape.

‘… … It’s difficult to write now.’

It’s not bad. No, it goes beyond that, and it’s good enough to say that Shakneil is completed because of this cape.

When it comes to realizing the user’s item abilities, it’s usually about holding a weapon or armor, but if Jaejoo Kim uses it, it’s a different story.

‘Once you get used to it… … .’

His gaze turned to his right arm.

With his right arm wearing ‘Enian’, which boasts a smooth luster.

‘Can I?’

It was difficult to write even the current clone, which gave me a headache, so I was anxious for a moment.

“It’s good.”

He smiled softly and slipped the cape into his backpack.

Because he was the one who didn’t mind giving.

-Good horns;

– In case you don’t know haha I’m good at dealing with clones.

– Do I believe in our talents?

-Hwang-Lapo

– Now what? Wasn’t the next floor a bonus floor?

-I don’t know about that again, if it’s a re-week difficulty

-ah… … That’s right;

“… … Well.”

Kim Jae-joo folded his arms and turned his head to the two portals in front of him.

The 28th floor was also called the ‘bonus floor’, and some said it was meaningless.

There was no risk of death, and in some cases there was nothing to gain in return.

‘manager.’

Originally, it was a place where you could easily enter, but the only thing that caught on was the manager’s craftsmanship.

‘I have a feeling… … .’

Up until now, I was able to make rough guesses while climbing the tower.

The manager’s skill is that the difficulty level is greatly increased from the basic trial, but the frame itself does not change.

“I’ll go right away.”

Therefore, Jaejoo Kim’s choice was the Blue Portal.

Jaejoo Kim passed the portal with a sense he was used to, and slowly opened his eyes.

The grass swayed across the wide meadow and glistened in the sunlight.

“… … Well?”

A large man was sitting in front of Jaejoo Kim.

He was a middle-aged man, but when he saw Jaejoo Kim walking out, he opened his eyes.

“Are you a traveler?”

A neat beard, leather pockets hanging from his waist, and something wrapped around his hand.

“… … hello.”

Jaejoo Kim cautiously greeted the familiar yet unfamiliar feeling.

“It smells familiar.”

“is that so?”

Jaejoo Kim, pretending not to know, hardened his expression and approached him.

– Ahhh

-Isn’t he a hero-level character because of the difficulty level? It’s been a while and it’s fuzzy.

-Ah, it’s really a bonus floor.

– If this guy comes out, it’s no fun to play tricks.

[4,891 units. A total of 1 entry has been completed on the difficulty level.]

[Condition number of people have been met.]

[The trial on the 28th floor begins.]

[Welcome to the Hall of Heroes.]

[You can either leave the floor immediately or get something depending on the user’s choice.]

As if those words were not false, two portals were created behind the middle-aged man.

[The passage to the 29th floor opens.]

[The passage to the 20th floor opens.]

“Is there anything you want from me?”

“… … I do not know. I do not know.”

Jaejoo Kim wanted to talk for a while.

Because I thought I had nothing to gain from him.

-Ah, if you say you don’t know, you just have a conversation and send it to me.

-Really; You just have to show interest by asking him to teach you how to get an item or saying that what you have is unusual.

– What are you doing because you are greedy?

“Hmm. If you look closely, you can see for sure.”

The man chuckled and jumped up from his seat.

He looked taller than Kim Jae-joo with two heads attached to it, and just standing there felt intimidating.

“I can smell my children.”

“… … You have a sensitive sense of smell.”

“ha ha ha!”

The man burst out laughing loudly and tapped Jaejoo Kim on the shoulder.

“You are a fun traveler.”

“I’m glad you liked it.”

Jaejoo Kim, whom I had only seen in videos, was in front of my eyes, so it was a new feeling.

The moment I was about to smile with a slightly relaxed heart.

“Dude, do you really think you’re dealing with them properly?”

“yes?”

The man’s momentum grew sharp.

He grabbed Kim Jae-joo’s shoulder and gave him strength, and something wrapped around his wrist was loosened and turned to Kim Jae-joo.

Jaejoo Kim quickly shook off his hand and stepped back.

“Would you like to play with me for a moment?”

What was released from the man’s wrist was a white snake.

“… … haha.”

Jaejoo Kim couldn’t help but burst out laughing at this unexpected reaction.

The man’s true identity is the master of the seven snakes.

It was a rotonto.
