Episode 288
Another week passed.
The end of the world still had not occurred, and everyone was living their daily lives.
KOSPI hit an all-time high, a powerful politician resigned from office due to a bribery scandal, and a Korean soccer player scored the winning goal in the Champions League for the first time.
And I scratched the instant lottery ticket and won 500 million won.
“Kae-ae-ang!”
“What? Buy a lottery ticket next time?”
“Kang! Kang!”
“Kangsu. Just once is enough. You can’t eat your life too raw.”
“Kaaieng?”
“What? Let’s just use the cheat key until we buy an apartment with a view of the Han River?”
“Kang!”
Kansu, you watch TV all day and you’ve already become a snob.
Looking at the winnings written on the lottery ticket, I smiled.
I can’t tell at all how much meaning this piece of paper has to me, even from the Tree of Wisdom.
“Hmm.”
If a year or two passes like this, I might completely adapt to this world.
Because this is where I originally belonged and where I desperately wanted to return.
If this is really the case, is there really a need to clear the last floor? The temptation often creeps up on me.
Then he quickly shook his head.
‘That would be troublesome.’
First of all, I’m not sure if this is the real world.
It would not be strange at all if the world collapsed tomorrow and the end came.
You must find clues to clear this final stage.
Of course, you should not neglect training.
Through the appearance of the master before the ascension, I realized that my martial arts sword was still lacking.
‘And now shall we go out and look for it?’
There is someone you should meet here.
Son Seo-yeon arrived at the final floor of the tower before me.
I killed her doppelganger on a mission given by Omphalos, and I have read some of the dead person’s memories through the Ring of Hades.
If there were no lies in the fragments of memory, she would definitely be somewhere on the final floor.
In this vast sea, Son Seo-yeon may be the only clue.
She is the only being in this world who remembers the player Lee Ho-young, and she is also the only player other than me. And since Salseong stands in the position of the tower.
“Kangsu, how can I find Son Seo-yeon?”
There is no way for me to find Son Seo-yeon first.
Because I have no idea where she lives or where she belongs.
If I had known this would happen, I would have talked a lot sooner.
In my current situation, I have to make her find me.
My plan is to let Son Seo-yeon know that I have arrived at the final floor of the tower.
“Kean!”
“What? How about doing MeTube?”
“Kang!”
This is the method I also had in mind.
Because it is a way to become famous in an instant and to reveal the abilities of player Lee Ho-young.
Unless she stays alone in a remote mountainous area, she might soon become aware of my presence.
“Okay! I guess I’ll have to create an account first.”
I never thought that the day would come when I would be doing a metube that wasn’t even in my name.
* * *
The channel name is Giant Ken TV.
I plan to use Kangsoo as the main content.
A monster that perfectly understands human language can immediately attract the public’s attention, and if Son Seo-yeon hears about this, she will recognize it right away.
The plan was ambitious and seemed perfect.
However, I quickly learned that things are not as easy as I thought.

“Kangsu, this floor isn’t easy either.”
“Kean!”
Even after a few more days, our channel did not create much of a stir.
[14 views – 4 days ago]
The sparring video of Kangsoo and me was harshly ignored by the public.
Even if we lowered the level a lot and put it together, the quality of our fighting is incomparable to that of the UFC.
However, there was only one lone comment.
– The kangaroo makeup is of a needlessly high quality. lol
Even Kansu was treated like a human.
Of course, the biggest problem is the number of views.
They say that it is important to be selected by the algorithm on MeTube, but the title is also like that, and it may be lacking in topicality.
“Kangsu, how about mukbang for this content?”
“Kang?”
“Our channel is not well-known, so we need to attract aggro.”

There are numerous mukbangs in the world of MeTube, and people are crazy about the food fighters’ amazing amount of food.
And since Kansu’s eating skills are world-class, I think it will be more topical than fighting content.
“Are you confident?”
“Kang!”
“I guess there’s some pork, especially beef.”
“Kae-ae-ang!”
So, the amount of beef the kangaroo ate during filming was a whopping twelve pounds.
In the end, we succeeded in achieving the desired results.

– The marbling is crazy! That’s 1++ grade Korean beef!
– But is that a kangaroo or a person?
– Of course it was a person dressed up! Kangaroos are herbivores.
– No matter how I look at it, it doesn’t seem to be human.
.
.
.
People were heatedly debating the identity of Kansu for over a day.
It is very desirable in terms of topicality.
Since the number of views has exceeded a certain level, you will soon be able to feel the snowball effect.
[12,000 views – 2 days ago]
In just one day, the number of views increased several times, and the next day it increased another ten times.
People were enthusiastic about Kansu’s eating habits, and the debate over Kansu’s identity became increasingly heated.
– So the conclusion is that it’s a kangaroo or a human?
– He is a person. Just by looking at what he does, he’s human! It’s cleverly disguised as a kangaroo through the camera angle.
– No, it’s a real kangaroo. The angle of the camera is such that it makes no sense for someone to dress up like this.
– Could it be CG?
[870,000 views – 6 days ago]
The number of views increased like snow, and the response to the sparring video between Kangsoo and me also became hot.
Fighting experts appeared in the comments, and the opinion that our fighting skills were good enough to be at the level of high school students became popular, and people also began to take interest in my identity as I appeared wearing a mask.
Now is the time to make a big splash.
“Kangsu. Shall we try flying in the sky now?”
“Kae-ae-ang!”
The number of subscribers has already skyrocketed, so this news will spread all over the world.
Maybe it will be on the news after just 3 video uploads.
Humans and kangaroos flying in the sky.
I just want to avoid situations where men in black suits suddenly appear in front of my house.
* * *
The last appearance of the master had a big impact on me.
The man who eventually achieved the top rank is truly a god of swordsmanship.
I was reminded that there was still a long way to go.
“I thought we were almost there, right, Kansu?”
“Kean!”
In fact, except for masters and blood demons, I am confident that there will not be many experts who can compete with me at any level, including martial arts.
The left and right guardians and elders of the Heavenly Demon Church, and the Murim lord Ju Jeong-cheon. They are all swordsmen capable of commanding the world, but I think I am now at least one step ahead of them.
This is by no means arrogance.
After completely absorbing the fruit of the Mana Tree, my inner strength has become much more profound than before, and the Tree of Wisdom is pulling my achievements forward day by day.
Today I am stronger than yesterday.
And I will be stronger tomorrow.
“Kangsu, shall we spar?”
“Kae-ae-ang!”
“What? You want to do it with Se-yong and not me?”
“Kang!”
“Well, you two were fantastic sparring partners for each other.”
I also miss the relationships at the tower.
I just hope that time here and where my colleagues are are pass differently.
If they were sharing the same time, they would have already faced the bloody day on the 40th floor.
Fortunately, that doesn’t seem to be the case.
Even today, when I search on the Internet, there is nothing special about the world’s population.
If the bloody day was going on down there, many of those who died there would have become residents of this final layer and would be living as if they had existed in the final layer world from the beginning.
But no such change is detected at all.
If I clear the final floor, they won’t have to face the bloody day after all.
“It’s better for people, right, Kansu?”
“Kang!”
I wanted to get confirmation from Kansu.
After dying in the tower, living on the final floor forgetting all memories. Perhaps this would be a better outcome for those people? That suspicion.
Whenever that kind of doubt creeps up, a time of confusion begins for me.
It was then.
A lot of DMs piled up on my SNS.
Among them, there was one message that stood out.
– Hoyoung Lee. Did you end up here?
It was Son Seo-yeon.
* * *
Square in front of City Hall.
This was the place where a huge tower was built before the apocalypse.
Of course, now it is just an extremely peaceful outing space for many Seoul citizens.
Here I was waiting for someone.
‘You’re here.’
Even in a large crowd, Son Seo-yeon’s energy can be caught right away.
Excluding me, she is the only player in the world who has mana.
She was still the same, walking from afar.
He was still expressionless, and his eyes were still cold.
“It’s been a while. Son Seo-yeon.”
She didn’t react at all, just trotting along and closing the distance between herself and me.
And if I stretch out my hand, I can reach it.
I was truly happy to leave everything behind.
Because she was a comrade in arms who shared memories of the apocalypse with me.
“But I guess you’re not happy?”
“…….”
“I already knew you were on the final floor. That’s why I made a quick show to find you.”
“……It would have been better if I hadn’t done that.”
Son Seo-yeon finally opened her mouth in a dry voice.
“Why?”
“Because it would have been better for everyone.”
She answered in a meaningful voice.
“Son Seo-yeon, I don’t know how much you know, but I think you definitely know this. Why I came to the final floor of the tower and why I was looking for you.”
There is silence for a moment.
“Do you still want to clear this tower?”
This is a question I also asked myself countless times after arriving at the final floor.
Although there was confusion, the conclusion had already been made.
“uh.”
“It’s definitely a decision like Lee Ho-young’s.”
“Because the world here on the final floor is not the truth.”
“If I were to debate that issue with you, there would be no end to it.”
“I have a question, Son Seo-yeon. Why are you on the final floor of the tower?”
According to the fragments of memory I read, Son Seo-yeon does not feel like she came here voluntarily.
The tower’s will and intention must have played a role.
Before asking for clues to clearing this tower, I wanted to solve this question first.
Maybe those two things are related to each other, I don’t know.
