Episode 694. The uncontrollable spark of the phone (2)
Three days have passed since the great change occurred.
Fortunately, thanks to the managers’ frantic actions, the worst-case scenario of the tower collapsing did not occur.
Of course, all of that was assuming that Azathoth had not fully awakened.
And now.
In the Sky Lounge located on the upper floor of Signiel, members of Goinmul Corporation were holding a shareholders’ meeting.
“I guess this is exactly what they mean by ‘the calm before the storm.'”
Even though the Necronomicon was stolen, the primordial beings showed no particular movement.
I don’t know what their intentions were, but the inside and outside of the tower were extremely quiet.
As if a huge gust of wind was about to hit.
‘Did the Elder Gods intervene? Or is there another ulterior motive?’
It’s an area where you can predict but can’t do anything about. All you can do is respond as thoroughly as possible according to your opponent’s numbers.
Jinhyuk looked at the peaceful Han River.
Boooow!
Bang! Bang!
People living their daily lives.
It seemed like the day was going on like a hamster wheel, repeating the commute to and from work.
At least to them, the tower was being conquered smoothly and the scenario of humanity’s destruction seemed to have been completely erased from their minds.
“Still, it’s a bit strange. It doesn’t make sense to be so sure when the existence of the contractor has been erased from everyone’s memories by the Fountain of Oblivion.”
Ellis made a rather convincing statement.
No matter how much the new nobles and new large guilds run wild, the current floor that humanity is conquering is the 39th floor.
It wasn’t a level that could be easily conquered just because the rankers were running wild.
Thanks to the apostles of each myth appearing and making contracts with the Lords, they still have some staying power in the upper echelons… but can they do that just by relying on that?
“Don’t you know anything?”
“be not interested in.”
Cheon Yoo-seong, leaning against the wall, spat out coldly.
I honestly wonder who would want to take that emotionless robot-like guy home with them in the future.
It would be impossible for anyone but an average person to handle it.
Tsk tsk.
It was when Jinhyuk was clicking his tongue and shaking his head from side to side.
Tiing…!
The elevator doors opened and new members joined.
The one at the very front was Kim Hee-woong, the temporary master of the Black Crow Guild.
“It’s been a while, Player Kang Jin-hyeok. The guild office is so hard to manage that I can’t even see the light of day. Please listen! When people talk!”
Kim Hee-woong, who was yelling at Jin-hyeok who was covering his ears, let out a loud sigh.
And then, as if he had given up, he handed over the materials Jinhyeok had requested.
“Whew. No matter how much I think about it, if I were to die, I’d die of a disease. A disease of depression.”
“Who said it was tough?”
“Uuuuu… Okay! I’ve organized the information about Seo Jeong-hee separately here.”
Kim Hee-woong handed over a tablet PC containing detailed information.
The mastermind who sent Swingbat’s hunting dogs, including Jack Eden.
Even while fighting giant monsters, Jinhyuk did not forget about Seo Jeonghee.
Grace is only 0.2 times. And enemies are 50,000 times.
That is because that was the belief that Jinhyuk had always held in his life.
“and.”
Kim Hee-woong continued speaking.
“Some unusual things happened while player Kang Jin-hyeok was away. It’s probably for the same reason that players Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min were away.”
Come to think of it.
Original members Taemin and Yeonhwa did not attend the shareholders’ meeting.
I just thought it was a little late, but is there a reason?
Jinhyuk’s expression, which had been covering his ears and muttering, changed 180 degrees.
“Please speak.”
“All efforts have been mobilized to create a connection with a player from Korea and all over the world. The name of the person who has become a hot potato is ‘Shuette’. Aside from his name, his nationality and all traces of his past have been blinded.”
Kim Hee-woong turned on the screen hanging on one side.
Then, the raid party appeared, facing off against numerous monsters inside the dungeon.
Raid videos were a commonplace, everyday occurrence, easily numbering in the thousands or tens of thousands, but the person in this video was different.
A man with white hair.
At first glance, her appearance is so beautiful that you might mistake her for a vampire.
However, the magical powers and abilities that emanated from his body were completely different from those of a vampire.
Kwakwakwakwakwakwa!
A heterogeneous yet beautiful trajectory.
Every time the man’s sword cut through the air, fountains of blood spurted out from among the monsters.
……strong.
Not only was his physical specs amazing, but his performance and directing skills that captivated the public were also something that came naturally to him.
“It’s a friend I haven’t seen in a while.”
“Yes. I am a rookie who debuted after receiving an overwhelming S-class rating in the Awakening Test a while ago. After that, I cleared 3 ruins with 30 floors and 7 labyrinths and 15 dungeons in just one week. One of the ruins in particular was the 27th floor ‘Aphandos’s Habitat’, also known as the tomb of the raiders.”
Jinhyuk’s eyebrows shook at the mention of the habitat of Aphandos.
A ruin located in the middle layer, but boasting an extremely high level of difficulty.

It was a place called the yolk for many reasons, as it was a strategic point leading to the large amount of ‘green magic stone’ mines in the latter half of the 27th floor.
Because the green magic stone, which has the same effect as a room-temperature superconductor, was worth calling out outside the tower.
I thought there would be a force other than us that could attack there.
That’s funny.
Jinhyuk carefully examined the video of Suet with an excited expression.
“This guy is quite something.”
“You’re strong.”
Ellis and Teresa also acknowledged Suet in their own ways.
“He is currently known as the hero and hope of humanity. The prevailing opinion is that if a raiding party is led by Suet, it will be possible to conquer the top of the tower.”
If you possess this kind of power, as he said, it would be sufficient grounds to challenge the higher-ups.
Now I kind of understand why people seemed so positive and carefree.
‘First of all, he’s not one of the veterans who were active in the past… .’
There is a good chance that a monster will emerge from among the newbies. The world is vast. Talented people have been sprouting up everywhere regardless of time and place.
Several possibilities crossed my mind.
What is certain is that a card has appeared that may or may not be helpful in conquering the latter half of the top.
“This is the last news I have to tell you.”
When Kim Hee-woong pressed the keyboard button, the screen changed.
Then a fancy, ornate post appeared.

The sheer volume of text and pictures was overwhelming to my eyes.
“…….”
“……Hoo.”
“Wow.”
Greed flashed through the eyes of the watching members.
It’s an overwhelming amount to check one by one.
Jinhyuk chuckled.
Of course, the relics and items given as rewards were of a fairly good variety. They were all things that showed that the player had put a lot of effort into collecting them.
However, none of them are enough to satisfy Jinhyuk, whose eyes reach all the way to the sky… .
……huh?
Jinhyuk, who was roughly looking over the list of rewards, suddenly took a deep breath.
I couldn’t help but be surprised.
Because it was a mix of rewards that I had only seen once in 11 years of playing.
Is that where it comes from?
It is unknown how the World Awakened Society obtained it.
However, that alone was enough of a reason to participate in this competition.
“How come, Mr. Kang Jin-hyeok, are you also interested?”
Kim Hee-woong straightened his shoulders.
As if to appeal that he wasn’t just playing around outside the tower.
“Thank you for your hard work. You have truly gathered only golden information like Altolan. I will trust you with a big role in the future as well.”
Jinhyuk squeezed Kim Hee-woong’s shoulder.
At the same time, I thought that I should at least consider raising a Black Crow Guild in the future.
“Thank you! I will grind this body to pieces until every bone in it turns to dust.”
Why are you saying such an obvious thing?
A gentleman who knows better than anyone that a slacker will soon be fired.
“Now, the work is more or less finished. Then, before the competition starts, let’s each rest and do some personal preparation….”
It was when Jinhyeok was about to announce the closing of the shareholders’ meeting.
“Surely you haven’t forgotten your promise with Jim?”
Ellis lit up her eyes.
… … Creepy.
A colder murderous spirit ran down my spine than during the battle with Yomagantu.
Let’s think about it.
If you answer incorrectly here, you will end up dead.
There is no doubt that the eyes are looking for something.
Now that I think about it, it seems like Ellis asked for something in return for helping me with this… .
The countless cells in Jinhyuk’s head gathered together and held an emergency meeting.
Only one bullet.
You have to pull out all the memories that have permeated every corner of your brain cells to come up with the correct answer.
“You were planning to go on vacation, right? To where you used to live.”
Fortunately.
“You remembered.”
Ellis smiled brightly.
***
Tower of Trials, 39th floor.
There was once a castle standing alone in the place where the great Jinjo families were located.
A castle located at the highest point, but somehow looking lonely.
That place is Ellis’ treasure trove, the ‘Black Castle’.
[You have entered the stronghold of ‘Ellis von Ataraxia’.]
“Ahem!”
Ellis proudly spread her arms wide.
It was poorly managed, full of cobwebs and dust. It was supposed to be a noble’s castle, but it was practically a ruin.
“Hmm. Okay, that’s good.”
Jinhyuk nodded reluctantly.
Since we were going, we said that we should all go to a housewarming party together.
However, seeing that Ellis’s killing intent had become ten times more vicious, I had no choice but to take back my words.
That’s how their vacation together began.
“Ugh. Huh. Huh.”
Ellis kept humming something that made her so happy.
“Mosquitoes….”
The only sweet potato that was allowed to eat trembled as if it was anxious.
Jinhyuk hugged the fluffy sweet potato tightly.
“Yeah, Kuma. I don’t feel so good either. But if I’m in danger, our cute and loyal Kuma will fight for me, right?”
“mosquito…?”
Goguma tried to escape from Jinhyeok’s arms.
But right then.
Damn it.
I felt presence in the castle that I thought was empty.
“!?”
……enemy?
Jinhyuk immediately opened the subspace.
Fantasy, games,
