Episode 11: The Conqueror
On the third floor, where all the traps had stopped, I was leisurely eating my packed lunch when I shivered.
“it’s good!”
It’s absolutely crazy delicious.
Is it because after falling from the tower, I only ate combat rations and basic food given as clear rewards?
No, it was the best taste even without bringing up such a petty reason.
Rich meat juice, crispy skin, and the savory flavor of premium spices found only in dungeons.
Plus, it comes with a sweet and spicy sauce that is perfect for the Korean palate.
The word crazy just comes out naturally.
I used to not know what it meant to relieve stress by eating, but now I think I do.
I really feel healed just by eating.
[Resilience increases.]
Correct. It’s really healing.
The buff for the special lunch box. It feels completely different when you hear it in the description than when you actually experience it.
Even health supplements can’t beat this. They give immediate results.
Is this what it means for a person to be full of energy?
“I hope to eat it again next time.”
I stared blankly at my lunchbox, which was now empty.
Ah. I’m so sorry. When did I finish eating it all?
“Later, when I earn a lot of points, I can buy some at the store or something.”
Since there is a buff, why don’t you give it a potion?
Looking at the community, it seems like they also sell food and daily necessities.
When you get to the 6th floor, check out the store window that opens.
-Ji-ik
I took off the packaging of the dessert cake to take a bite.
If you’re going to rest, you should rest properly.
By the way, please also check out the reactions to the strategy I posted earlier.
“Community open.”
Since it took some time to eat, he must have gone downstairs.
I scrolled down and ate my dessert.
“Ugh. The party is exploding.”
I exclaimed in admiration at the sweetness that filled my mouth.
Even the dessert is perfect. This is perfect.
That’s that.
“What? Where did my writing go?”
Has the regeneration been this fast?
Why didn’t I see my strategy guide?
Has it been deleted?
By what means?
Although the government and guilds have great power, the community is a system service.
It means that the hunter can’t do anything.
I went back to the first page again.
“uh?”
I was able to see my post at the top of the channel below the 10th floor.
Unlike other things, my arrogance is different in color.
Looking closely, I saw a sign in front.
Notice? Was there such a function?
I’ve never heard of it.
Since we’re still in the tutorial phase, we can’t check out other channels.
“Views: 194.”
If there’s anything else, it’s the number of views.
It was several times more than the usual text.
I guess it was exposed at the top because a lot of people saw it.
It’s still rising now.
Oh. Now I hit 200.
-Tiring
[Your strategy has caught the attention of many!]
[Consideration for latecomers. Be a role model for others!]
As soon as the number of views reached 200, a notification sounded.
A phrase that comes to mind.
I slowly put down the dessert I was eating.
[Title – Conqueror is awarded!]
“Chi, title!”
I couldn’t help but open my mouth.
A title? Is that something you can already get?
How to become stronger as a tower-climbing hunter.
Representative examples include stat grinding and skill leveling up.
There is also a way to obtain equipment and increase your abilities.

And one more thing.
There was a standard for dividing the ranks of top hunters.
“Increasing your specs through titles.”
That was the title.
As you grow, it becomes more difficult to rapidly raise your status.
Because a body that has grown to its limit cannot be strengthened by just any stimulation.
It means that people aren’t obsessed with items and skills for nothing.
Because if you don’t do that, you can’t become strong.
That’s why all hunters rush towards it with their eyes wide open.
“I didn’t know I could get this. I had to get it to become a top hunter.”
It was easier said than done, but in reality it was extremely difficult to obtain.
First of all, the conditions themselves are almost unknown. Who can say anything if you can get ahead of others?
The bigger problem is that.
“Even if you do the same thing, there is no guarantee that you will receive it.”
It’s been over ten years since the tower was built, so why not try something like that?
I tried researching among the top hunters, but the results were dismal.
The potential conclusion was that the conditions for obtaining a title were different for each individual.
In the first place, the titles didn’t even overlap.
There’s a reason why early hunters still lead large guilds.
That’s because I swept all the first-conquer titles since it was my first time climbing the tower.
“So that’s why Top kept urging you to take on the challenge.”
When I think about it carefully, that’s what happened.
When I applied the liquid on the second floor, the system gave me a reward.
I tried something new.
Here on the 3rd floor? I challenged the same trap and cleared it without hitting, earning 1,000 points.
Difficult but clear achievement. Something others don’t do. That’s what I’m hoping for.
For example, it would be like spreading the real strategy that the government and large guilds are hiding.
“Let’s check first.”
I put the dessert in my mouth and stared at the notification window.
Let’s skip the process. What’s important is the result.
I heard that each title has a different effect.
Some simply increase stats, while others grant special abilities.
What on earth did I get?
I read the explanation with a nervous heart.
[Title – Conqueror (Growth Type)]
-All stats +10
-You who conquer the tower, be the pioneer!
-A pioneer is not someone who is above others. He is someone who pulls up the latecomers.
– Those who know the most secrets, those who constantly challenge. Aren’t they the pioneers?
– Scores are calculated based on the level and number of strategies you’ve revealed, as well as the reactions of those who’ve helped you. (Scores may drop depending on the situation.)
-Current contribution: 58 points (42 points left until next reward)
“This is awesome!”
I could be sure.
The title I have now is a title I will never have again.
It raises all stats. You might think it’s only 10, but that’s not true.
My current total strength is 18. 10 is by no means a small number.
Above all else.
“Magic power increases.”
This is huge. Items with a magic option are rated one level higher on their own.
Needless to say, the price is expensive. In reality, this is not a game, so there is no limit to the number of items you can wear.
Hunters who grew up in the magic field often had items painted all over their bodies.
I was more confident because I had gathered all the news related to hunters.
The title I have earned is a treasure.
And that’s not all.
“Growth type with a reward system.”
Increasing all stats is just the beginning.
The information written at the very bottom.
It was showing the points remaining until the next reward.
The more points I earn, the more I conquer and spread, the more the effect of the title increases.
“It’s like having the effect of obtaining multiple titles with just one title.”
The corners of the mouth do not go down.
“I am lucky!”
Finally, I couldn’t hold it in any longer and screamed in joy and performed the ceremony.
A dance that shakes with passion!
If others saw me, they might think I was crazy, but so what.
There’s no one here but me.
[Tip. There are statistics that say that people who stay on top for long periods of time become mentally unstable. How about taking care of your mental health?]
“You’re not crazy?”
I growled as I saw the tip message about breaking the mold and ate the remaining cake in one bite.
Calm down. It’s good to have a title, but what’s more important is to somehow survive and move up.
Since I got this opportunity, I should aim for the 100th floor.
“Comments first.”
The conditions for upgrading the title required points, and some of them were mixed with people’s reactions.
Next to that, he said that depending on the situation, the score may drop.
If you post the wrong strategy or the response is not good, it can be a negative.
Well, you could say anything you want as a strategy.
The system couldn’t have been that lax.
“Does a score of 58 mean there was some support?”
It’s something you can check.
I checked the comment window at the bottom of the strategy guide.
[Nimary Baldness]: Oh! I was almost defeated, thank you!
First up is Bald Man. As expected, he seems to be targeting the same demographic as me.
[Lick the crown]: Miss… why is the gap in the wall so narrow. I almost got caught in the ceiling trap.
[Nimary Baldness]: Isn’t that because you’re fat and plump?
[Lick the crown of the head]: I’m going to lick it ^^ I’m going to lick it. Just lick the crown of the head.
[Hair loss]: Ugh;;;
Did Lickjak also arrive on the third floor? I don’t know when they became close, but they’re arguing so well. Or are they just fighting?
Let’s say they are both like that, but a new ID appeared.
Someone who looks like they’re climbing the tutorial with us.
[Meow Punch]: Ah, I should have checked sooner. I died on the third floor and am trying again, but I’m dying because of the kobold on the second floor. How did I get up there before?
I think I died once in the middle. Well, the difficulty level is really hard.
To be honest, the 3rd floor isn’t something you can just be careful about. More than that.
“Come to think of it, I didn’t write a strategy for the second floor.”
There may be people who come back up from the first floor like Nyangnyang Punch.
I didn’t pay much attention to it because the community opened after I cleared the second floor.
“Good.”
Since it’s become like this, let’s use up all the strategies for the 1st and 2nd floors.
Then I’ll get more points, right?
I feel good because I think I got an unexpected harvest.
“Are there any other survivors?”
I scrolled down the comments but it didn’t seem like anyone was on the tutorial level.
I don’t know. He might just be lurking.
Among the people who have been revealed, I, the bald person, Nyangnyang Punch, and Lick Jjak are in the top ranks.
I sat there quietly lost in thought.
“It seems like only weird people came up here.”
He rubbed his eyebrows furtively.
Even if it’s Meow Meow Punch, why is that guy trying to lick someone else’s temple? Is he a pervert?
Not only balding men, but there are also not many normal people.
Are those the only ones who survived in the harsh tower environment?
I don’t think so, since I’m a normal person.
I don’t know. Let’s just assume that only the crazy ones stand out among the countless normal people.
Anyway, I’m grateful to those people for raising my score.
I continued reading the comments.
[Pongjjakpong]: That’s not that different. Does it seem to be about right?
[Lee Yong_Sangun]: No, the 3rd floor trap isn’t that hard. It’s a bit hazy because it’s been a long time, but anyway, it’s not like that.
[Lee Seok-chan_Sangun]: Don’t pay attention to false information.
└What are you doing, Sangun? Let’s hurry up and do some work. We have to protect our rice bowl. Woof woof!
└Do you know whose dog’s name is Sangun? If you get caught, you’re screwed.
[Meat Warrior #1]: Oh, but it’s really ambiguous. I somehow managed to break it.
└ㅇㅈ I think I woke up after running like crazy, but I don’t remember the details.
[Bosongsong-i]: Newbiesㅠㅠ Are you holding your cell phone? If you have a Pink Punk song, come up to the 6th floor and trade with me. I have a lot to give you because it’s on that upper floor. Sob, sob.
└[Meow Punch]: I’m here. How much did you find out, you sucker?
.

“The remaining comments are largely divided into two.”
There are those who agree that it is somewhat true and those who get angry and tell people to stop talking nonsense.
There were some people who chatted about something else here and there, but not many.
Why does that fluffy person always seem to be there every time I see him?
I’ve also heard that among those who are thirsty for news outside, there are quite a few who are interested in channels below the 10th floor.
It seems like he’s quite a fan. Meanwhile, Nyangnyang Punch is trying to sell it.
That’s also a way. If you can get something from a higher-level hunter, it’s a good thing.
Anyway, the cell phone is useless on the tower.
It can’t charge or make phone calls. It’s just a burden.
It’s a cell phone, so let Nyangnyang Punch do it.
“Sangun Guild.”
I especially paid attention to the nicknames of those who were causing a fuss in the comments.
There are eight large guilds in Korea.
These are the guys who spread fake strategies together with the government.
The Sangun Guild belonged to a large guild.
“Want to get on the shit rope, you guys?”
I can’t help but laugh. I’m so surprised that I almost run over to them.
Thanks to that, I even got to see the notice.
A situation where you can’t do anything. It’s going to be quite a headache.
“Was the Sangun Guild ranked 8th in the ranking of large guilds?”
It looks like only the Sangun Guild is coming out, so it seems like they’ve been dealt a slap in the face.
It’s a large guild that’s already busy, so it’d be a hassle to even bother with the tutorial section.
Go ahead and try to beat me up, I’ll stop you.
In the end, the more my strategy gains trust, the more those who have obstructed me lose public support.
“Let’s move.”
If you go head-on into a large guild, those guys won’t sit still.
They’ll definitely try to find me and kill me.
So I have to hide my identity as much as possible, and at the same time.
“I have to get stronger.”
So that even if their identity is revealed someday, they cannot be touched.
Luckily, there was a way for me to become stronger.
