Episode 23. Welcome, warriors! (2)
————————
[Normal stage reward.]
[Blessing, the blessings of the God of War are granted!]
[You can observe the tower map from the 11th floor to the 20th floor.]
Slurp.
A translucent map appeared before my eyes. Should I call it a kind of mini map?
Red and blue dots became entangled and took over the map. Looking at the terrain, the red dots seemed to represent monsters and the blue dots seemed to represent human groups.
-Tsk tsk… Are you coming? I knew there would be a scam perk!
Bae Hu-ryeong frowned and grumbled.
-While others are crawling on the ground, you will just look up from the sky. Ugh. okay. Don’t think about steadily building your skills and just keep thinking about it all the time. Anyway, if you look at this tower, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Those who eat eat again, and those who do well…
However, Bae Hu-ryeong could not continue his old joke.
[Hidden stage reward.]
[Blessing, the divine protection is granted!]
[You can observe the names, abilities, and locations of all NPCs from the 11th floor to the 20th floor.]
-···ok?
Because the announcement of special benefits did not end here.
[Hidden stage reward.]
[Blessings, the blessings of the Merchant God!]
[Choose and own one of the items from the 11th to 20th floors.]
Sigh!
Lists appeared next to the minimap. One is a list with the names and abilities of NPCs. The other is a list where the name and effect of the item are clearly revealed.
“······.”
-······.
We were speechless.
“Kill! “Keep calm and push it away!”
“Kaaaaaa! “Goblins are throwing spears!”
Hunters fought hard on the front line. The orcs howled and the human soldiers shed blood. While the battlefield was noisy, there was silence only between Bae Hu-ryeong and me.
The silence was soon broken.
“ah. “It’s a really good game.”
-Have you seen this crazy lucky game?
With diametrically opposed exclamations and screams.

theme.
The tower has a theme for each floor.
Would it be easier to understand if I said it was a genre rather than a theme?
From the 1st to the 10th floor, it is literally [tutorial].
There are hunting grounds prepared and even a city where you can relax to your heart’s content. This can be seen as a stage for beginners to become familiar with the tower.
And from the 11th to the 20th floor…
‘The devil’s invasion.’
Or a devil dragon.
It’s okay to call it a defense story in that it protects the human empire.
‘It’s about defeating the devil’s army that flocks in like a pack of dogs.’
In any case, it is important that the aspect of the fight is different from before.
Monsters no longer move around one by one like they did in the beginner hunting grounds. form a group Assemble a unit. Create an army.
There are only two ways to defeat an army of monsters.
‘Either you become a one-man army strong enough to eat up an army by yourself-.’
I looked at the front line.
The Sword Saint was massacring monsters while scattering blue aura.
‘-Or we can also lead the army and fight.’
I grinned.
‘The path I will choose this time is the latter.’
I must have received a special privilege.
Wouldn’t it be a loss if we let this enormous privilege go by?
Of course, I didn’t have the talent to command an army. He had never conducted before, so it was natural for him. However, all you had to do was create a talent you didn’t have.
I had a lot of confidence in creating new talents.
“Ability spear.”
Before jumping into the battlefield in earnest, I first checked my current situation.

good.
I said with a smile on my face.
“Hey, Mr. Geomje. “Did you curse at me earlier for being a lucky game?”
-Yes, I swore! You f*cking zombie!
“I’ll show you why I said it was a good game.”
I first loaded the NPC list.
Numerous NPCs were lined up according to the divine protection.

A list of tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, of people appeared.
So far it was just a jumbled mess.
but.
“Only NPCs located on the 11th floor are displayed.”
The list seemed to have understood my instructions and started moving on its own.
All the small names disappeared as if they had been deleted, and only what we requested, namely the NPC located on the 11th floor, remained in the list and reemerged.

I spoke without stopping.
“Arrange in order of highest level skills. Only the top 100.”
– Huh.
Bae Hu-ryeong made a short noise. You must have sensed my intention. Until now, Bae Hu-ryeong had simply been upset, but now his expression had become truly urgent.
Bae Hu-ryeong hurriedly stopped me.
-wait for a sec! Zombies! This is not it. Please let us fight by becoming stronger step by step. huh? How good is it to train step by step, build your skills, and learn swordsmanship?
“I don’t mind doing that later.”
-profit! No matter how much of a loser you are, this is a real escape from the golden path! Aren’t you embarrassed to be a subject named Confucius?
“hmm. yes. “Aren’t you embarrassed?”
No matter what Bae Hu-ryeong said, List followed what I said. Grumble. The letters scattered one by one in the air, then came back together and reassembled.
Once assembly was completed, a new list appeared.
+
[Rohan Panbasa] Status: Commander of the Panbasa Knights
[Sarvas Aegim] Status: Commander of Kungur District
[Jeshua Kamancha] Status: High-ranking knight of the Imperial Knights
[Tormund] Status: Highest senior soldier in the shield unit

done. We’re almost there now.
I shouted, ignoring Bae Hu-ryeong’s rampage.
“Show NPCs with unit command skills! Only the top three!”
-Ahh! Argh!
okay.
I had no talent for commanding a military unit.
But what’s the problem?
Even if you don’t have the talent, you can just steal it from another NPC!
+
[Sarvas Aegim] Status: Commander of Kungur District
[Rohan Panbasa] Status: Commander of the Panbasa Knights
[Sein Kamen] Status: Shield Regiment Commander

The list, which had numbered hundreds of thousands of people, had already been reduced to three.
I gave the list a final command.
“Mark the locations of the three people on the map.”
-What a swindler!
The names displayed through [God’s Protection] were scattered. They turned into green lights and went straight into the mini-map illuminated by [Blessing of the Whole Body]. It was perfect. The location of NPCs with command skills is displayed on the map.
“okay. “Shows my current location!”
Finally, to my location.
“As expected, your skills are good. look. Even if a person only has basic application skills, he or she can turn a good perk into an incredibly good perk? “This is all thanks to me using my head.”
-Playing! What’s the point of using your head? You’re just being foolish!
“Hehe. Even fine hair is a skill.”
Preparation is complete. There was no reason to hesitate now.
I quickly ran to the nearest NPC on the map. Fortunately, it was right nearby. When the hunters were summoned all at once, ‘Heroes!’ The general welcomed me. That man was the NPC with the best command skills.
“General Sarvas Aegim.”
“hmm? Oh oh. A warrior from another world. “What happened?”
While giving orders to his lieutenants, the general turned to me. His mustache was nice. The skills would be cool too.
-Avoid!
Bae Hu-ryeong cried.
-Hurry and avoid, you stupid NPC! This guy is not a hero, he’s a dragon-pal! If you get caught by this guy, even your spine will be sucked out!
Yongpal.
This ghost lived with me for a few days and then became Korean.
“The general believes in me as a warrior, so I have a favor to ask.”
“Speak up! Thanks to you, this unwinnable battle is starting to look promising. “If there is anything I can do, I will gladly do it.”
“Please kill me.”
The general’s eyes widened.
“What do you mean?”
“···Actually, I have an ace up my sleeve. It’s a kind of self-destruction. If I take my life, God’s blessings will fall on the entire battlefield. “As long as the protection is activated, the empire can achieve certain victory.”
I put on my most solemn expression. Surprisingly, acting on facial expressions was simple. When I think of the moment I was burned to death by the Flame Emperor, my face automatically hardened and my voice became solemn.
-evil! It is a lie! This zombie bastard doesn’t have that kind of self-destruction technique!
Huh.
Let’s be quiet about the ghost who died in the tower with only the 100th floor left.
“Well, such a blessing… no. But to end a warrior’s life. “I can’t!”
“General Sarvas Aegim. Let’s think about what’s more important. Whether the general draws his sword or not, I will commit suicide. “This is the surest way to help the empire.”
I said with a solemn face.
“I’m asking the general for a favor.”
“ask···?”
“The general is the commander in charge of this port. He is in a position where he longs for the victory of the empire more than anyone else. “Rather than commit suicide with my own hands or die at the hands of evil monsters, I would rather entrust my life to the general in charge of the battle.”
“······.”
“There is no time. Come on!”
The general had a miserable look on his face.
“No matter how much we must strive for the survival of the empire, we must also take the life of someone who came to us from another world through such trouble…”
-hey. hey! Do you believe it? Wow, Mr! Do you believe this? There’s no one in the universe you can trust, so why trust Kim Zombie? real?
“Oh oh. Our world is clearly cursed. The arrival of the devil who only existed in legends, and the constant influx of monsters. “Having to take the life of a hero like this now must be a curse…”
-The curse is at the level of your head!
“Ah, my God. “Do not forgive us our sins…”
The general sighed like the protagonist of a tragedy and immediately grabbed the hilt of his sword. Sreung. A very luxurious-looking blade was revealed.
“···At least we will send it to you quickly and painlessly.”
“Thank you.”
I was really grateful.
I didn’t mind dying, but I didn’t want to be sick.
“Please tell me your name.”
“Gongja Kim.”
“Gongja Kim… Thank you on behalf of the Empire. “You are a true warrior!”
Suddenly.
It was a clean beheading, just as the general had promised. The blade containing the aura decapitated me in one fell swoop.
[You are dead.]
[Copy NPC Sarvas Aegim’s skills randomly.]
As expected, it was also possible to copy skills from NPCs.
When his throat was cut and he lost consciousness in an instant, Bae Hu-ryeong’s screams were heard.
-Stop dying, you bastard! Skill: Is it good to eat it raw?
I answered in my heart.
‘Confucius said. They said it was shit!’
The exciting day repeated itself.
