Episode 120 < Hero. (2) >

King.
“uh….”
I lifted the corner of my mouth. It is said that people instinctively smile when they encounter unexpected situations.
I looked around. Black Dragon Master, Inquisitor, Viper, Paladin, Count. We made eye contact with them one after another.
“…Are you kidding?”
“of course.”
Of course, the Black Dragon Master said. I wanted the follow-up to be like, ‘Of course I’m joking.’ But what came out of the Black Dragon Master’s lips was completely different from what I expected.
“Of course, we can’t just choose a monarchy now. Death King. I don’t know about you, but we put a lot of effort into creating the current tower system… through repeated failures and frustrations.”
“We are trying to realize the ideals of anarchism in our own way. Ah, the ‘guild’ that operates in the tower is actually a type of union…”
“Stop. Talking like that doesn’t help Death King.”
The paladin stopped talking.
“The king is a simple symbol. But symbols have real power. Gongja Kim. You already have real power. “Up to 100,000 people enter the pagoda in just one day, seeing your name and believing in your character.”
“…….”
“Not even the Black Dragon Master has been able to accomplish this until now. You are the first. “It’s unprecedented for a tower hunter to have this much power!”
Only then did I realize that the paladin was more excited than usual.
The paladin was always calm and composed. The reason she raised her voice has now been forgotten by everyone [the incident on the 12th floor]. It was just a time when everyone was in a state of suspicion and trying to eliminate each other.
That paladin was excited.
It wasn’t just the Paladins.
Except for the Heretic Questioner, all the leaders of the large guild were enveloped in a strange fever. The guild leaders were working hard to keep the heat from burning into a frenzy. However, their excitement was clearly evident in the way they looked at me.
“In the past, we couldn’t handle this amount of population influx. There’s not enough food. But now [we] have secured enough land and trade routes… “It may be difficult, but we can feed them.”
“More than anything, we have [experience].”
said the count.
“I’m not bragging, but all of the guild leaders here have experienced confusion. Paladins are wanderers from a ruined country. The Black Dragon Master is an orphan from a country that was devastated by civil war, and the Inquisitor and Viper have suffered from the hands of the mafia and gangsters since childhood. I was born in the poorest village in the world. “All of the people gathered here are ‘experts in difficult times.’”
“that’s right.”
The Black Dragon Master was shocked.
“Only we in this world can deal with this kind of crisis. It is impossible for any country or any country in the outside world. But [we] can! “We’ve overcome more chaos than this!”
“…….”
I swallowed. The enthusiasm of the guild leaders was clearly conveyed.
They abandoned the old world and fled to the new world. And the guild leaders who rose to the top of the new world still did not give up their desire to build a new world.
“Death King. “We can do it.”
dream.
“Let’s accomplish what no country in the outside world has been able to accomplish. A slightly better place. “Let’s create a world where people who have been kicked out and run away can live with some peace of mind!”
more.
“We know what it means for a society to fail. So you can avoid being ruined.”
A paladin who fled from a country in South America.
“We know what it means for people to be divided and at war. So we can avoid civil war.”
The Black Dragon Master who survived the Black Sea engulfed in war.
“We know what violence is. So you can use violence.”
An Inquisitor raised in the mafia organization of Eastern Europe.
A poisonous snake that grew up in a triad in the central plains.
“We know what poverty is, so we can overcome it.”
A count born in a trash village in India.
“Let me show you. “Death King.”
The Black Dragon Master said.
“Let’s show people that we can make the world a little better!”
And then I realized.
The person who changed the guild leaders was none other than me.
Nothing like this had ever happened in the previous world. In a world where the Flame Emperor dominated the top rankings… The tower was still just a tower.
A refuge for those who have lost hope.
A paradise for criminals and death row inmates.
In the previous world, I had never seen the Black Dragon Master speak of [a new world] with his eyes sparkling like now. In any magazine photo. In any interview video.
The Black Dragon Master was a human being who always had cold eyes.
Because of me, she changed.
“…….”
My heart was pounding.
“I am,”
The world that Master dreamed of.
“Tell me what I should do.”
I can change the world.
“… … okay. huh. “I thought you would say that.”
The Black Dragon Master smiled softly. Her gaze contained trust in me.
“You can always be yourself. That’s the most important thing. “Getting used to politics is something we can teach you step by step.”
“Ahaha. If you look at it a little crookedly, it could be said that since we will monopolize the real power, Death King should continue to play the role of face madam!”
“… … what. I won’t deny it. But I also want to quickly pass this position on to someone else, right? “Would you like to tell me how many violent crimes are happening every day?”
“Oh, crimes disguised as religion are also very common! In the past 10 days, 21 terrorist attacks by extremists have been detected in advance!”
“Let’s stop talking about this. Wouldn’t our situation become more miserable for no reason…? .”

hmm.
The most important thing is for me to be myself.
‘then.’
I looked around.
“Director! Librarian! Where are you!”
My voice echoed through the huge library. Then, from behind a bookshelf the size of a house, a small shadow raised its head. It was the constellation [Corner Library Director] that I had not seen in a long time.
“no. What are you doing there? “Please come here.”
“B-but… But… .”
The Librarian’s lips trembled.
“How dare a little thing like me know the Death King’s eyes? The Death King’s eyes will become dirty. Please treat me like a non-existent entity, like dust floating around in the library… .”
“Oh, don’t be like that again. “I hope he comes soon.”
“Ugh. Ugh. Ugh….”
The Librarian flew away helplessly. The long sleeves of the dress fluttered. They look exactly like the ears of a downcast Maltese puppy.
“Please tell me… .”
“Please take out the book for the next stage.”
“What kind of apocalypse do you want?”
“A fairy tale.”
“…….”
The Librarian pursed his lips. I said without heeding anything.
“Of the books of the Apocalypse given to us, there is only one children’s book. Please give it to me.”
“… … Hmm. indeed. “It’s a strange relationship.”
The library director’s expression changed. The corners of her eyes were smiling, as if she had never been so angry and trembled at the sight of me.
“Okay. “This is the Apocalypse you spoke of.”
One of the books that had been hovering around the library director flew in. When the library director opened the cover, information about the Apocalypse came to mind.

[Me and our victims]
Genre: Fairy Tale
Difficulty: Grade A
Number of people limited: 2 or more
※The series is currently discontinued.
Introduction: Humanity in this world has succeeded in creating a utopia. However, a special power was needed to maintain that utopia. It was the scream that an innocent child, who had not committed any crime, was suffering. It’s a shame, but for the sake of the perfect happiness of 17 million people, one innocent child has to be put up with, right? Thanks to carefully developed torture techniques and life-sustaining treatment, we were able to extract about five years’ worth of screams from each child. It’s efficient!
Annual Thought: 118,000 years have passed since the creation of Utopia. In the end, all the innocent children were consumed. Utopia lost its power and came to a halt.

‘okay.’
This is the apocalypse.
I’ve had this in my mind ever since I first saw it.
“everyone. I would like to choose this apocalypse as the next stage.”
“huh?”
The guild leaders turned around.
Among them, the Black Dragon Master tilted his head.
“fairy tale book? I’m sorry, Death King, but that fairytale world probably didn’t have much resources or territory. The level of difficulty is also measured as [Level A]… . “Is there really a need to attack it?”
“yes. there is.”
I looked into the eyes of the Black Dragon Master.
“So far, we have chosen Apocalypses based on how useful they would be to the tower. The martial arts secrets stored in the [Chronicles of the Heavenly Demon] will strengthen the power of the tower. “Exchange with the science fiction world will greatly advance our scientific capabilities.”
The Apocalypse we have covered so far are as follows.

21st floor: The Great Library of All Things
22nd floor: Annals of the Heavenly Demon (Genre: Martial Arts, Fusion)
23rd Floor: Space Iron Knight Chronicles (Genre: Science Fiction)
24th floor: Dawn Mountain Lodge Diary (Genre: Mystery, History)
25th Floor: Sormwin Academy Story (Genre: Romance)
26th floor: Festival City Apocalypse (Genre: Sports)
27th floor: Bakery Street epic (Genre: Cooking, Management)

I stayed for 15 days after completing the mission of [Story of Sormwin Academy]. Over the course of 15 days, other hunters attacked the 26th and 27th floors. All of the hunters with this name are working together to attack the target.
Now the remaining floors are the 28th, 29th, and 30th floors.
‘but.’
I have a plan of my own. If things go as I hope… This 28th floor is practically the last apocalypse.
With that plan in mind, I began to speak.
“It’s not just resources or technology that are useful to us. Mr. Heretic Questioner. You said it. “The population of the tower is increasing by nearly 100,000 people per day.”
“hmm.”
“What we need now is a focal point. It’s unity.”
The Heretic Questioner blinked.
“I agree, but isn’t that why we should support the Death King? The Death King is the central point of the tower. We will provide the Death King with a suitable position as soon as possible! “I will create a wonderful position like [Guild Union Leader] or [Council Chairman] and support it!”
I shook my head.
The head of the guild union.
Some people might be tempted by a title like that. On the outside, it will look like you have ascended to the highest position in the tower.
“You can’t use tricks like that.”
“what. “What if you say it’s a trick?”
“Not just me, but everyone here needs to get people’s support. I’m not the one who actually controls the tower right now. It’s everyone. “Only when we receive your support will the tower come together as one.”
“…….”
The surroundings became quiet.
This single examiner smiled.
“That makes sense. But did you know? Death King. We have original sin. In the name of putting an end to the chaos in the tower, they did incredible things. I’m committing it. Unfortunately, we have absolutely no moral justification!”
“… … “The Heretic Questioner is right.”
The Black Dragon Master muttered.
“We have done too much to be a flag.”
“You just have to do well from now on. No, please be nice.”
“…….”
“We are one team. I can’t solve religious problems as passionately as the Inquisitor. We can’t respond to the problem of gangsters like poisonous snakes. Politics, economy, public security, they will all not be as good as what you do. “I’m not trying to be humble, it’s just the truth.”
but.
“I will never betray you. “You can trust me.”
I am confident in bringing these talented people together.
“If there is a problem between you, I will mediate it. If you need to talk, we’ll create a place to talk. Trust me. Please be a team.”
“…….”
The guild leaders were silent.
I held up a children’s book titled [Me and Our Scapegoat] towards them.
“As you said, this apocalypse doesn’t have great resources. There is no fertile land. However, there are sacrifices that cannot be tolerated by anyone. everyone. This kind of sacrifice should not be tolerated. By conquering this world, let’s show the world what kind of people we are.”
Yes.
This is the entry ticket.
A testimonial on how we will manage the tower.
We will not turn a blind eye to sacrifice. will face it Even if there are difficulties that cannot be solved, we will overcome them head on.
We will show the world that we are [such people].
“Then we can gain trust. “We can ask the tower’s residents to trust us.”
“indeed. Do you have trust in the government?”
“yes.”
I looked at the guild leaders one by one.
“It just so happens that this Apocalypse has more than two people to attack. Black Dragon Lord. Heresy Questioner. count. venomous snake. Paladin… .”
The most gorgeous All-Star member in this tower.
And my colleagues.
“Please fight with me.”
We all participate in this apocalypse.
