Episode 19: Arriving at the 6th floor
[Rewards will be paid!]
A sweet message whenever I hear it.
My expectations were also raised to the max.
Whatever you imagine, it will be more than that.
-Paaaaat!
A ray of light came down from the sky.
An intensity that is incomparable to any effect we’ve seen so far.
“Oh.”
I looked up at the sky with a small sigh of admiration.
-Wooooooow
The sky is rumbled and the air is vibrating.
With him, a single pillar of light began to spread in all directions. Soon, it spread into five colors and increased in intensity.
A mysterious and overwhelming sight.
I closed my eyes tightly.
Coming down.
It’s hard to see because of the backlight, but a small dot is descending.
In my blurred vision, it slowly descends towards me from the center of the light.
It was a frog.
“ok?”
what?
Did I see something wrong?
I closed my eyes and opened them again, but it was clear.
That round body and big mouth.
Webbed feet attached to the limbs.
I looked up at the sky in disbelief, and the once splendid effect had disappeared.
What he meant was that the real reward he was given was a frog.
What the heck?
Looking closely, I saw that there was a tail attached to the back of its body.
Has it been that long since you became an adult?
Why, don’t you just come down as a tadpole?
“Could this really be compensation?”
I tried hard to deny it.
[Reward – Pet has been granted.]
The system crushed my humble wishes.
“Ouch. Digging. Geeeeeee.”
The croaking of frogs that breaks a cracked mentality.
Why does it feel like I’m teasing you?
Did frogs originally croak like this?
I don’t know. I don’t care. I just want to go home.
I’m so depressed that I’m losing energy.
I’m the one who expected it and is an idiot.
“Geeek─!”
-Cheolpuk
Is it because I kept ignoring him? The frog hit my cheek with its tongue.
Sticky and moist texture.
A subtle, warm warmth.
The strength is also good.
He also turned his head slightly.
Wow. This is my first time experiencing this, so I feel dirtier than I imagined.
“Heh heh. Heh heh heh heh.”
It was understandable to be angry, but all that came out was laughter.
I think they say that when a person is too absurd, their body becomes stiff.
Not only the body but also the mind stops.
I think I know what that means now.
“Eughhhhh.”
A frog crying while looking at me with a sour expression for some reason.
I feel the same way, although I’m quite displeased.
Can’t I return it?
No. What are you thinking?
-Clap clap
I lightly patted his cheek.
Come to your senses. It’s a reward anyway.
The top may be harsh, but the system is fair.
There must be a reason why he gave me the frog.
“It looks strange, but it’s also big.”
I examined the frog carefully.
Its belly is so bloated that it looks bigger than a bullfrog, even though it’s not even a full-grown adult yet.

There are seven prominent horns on its head, centered between the eyebrows.
The body was about the size of two fists put together and had a pattern of white and red, and as I kept looking at it, its shape seemed to change little by little.
Surely it’s not a poisonous frog?
They say that if the pattern is flashy, it’s poisonous.
Is it okay to touch it with bare hands?
I was worried later, but it seemed okay since there were no particular problems so far.
I stared at the frog with persistence.
Since I have the power, I can find out his identity.
“Eeeeeeeee. Okay!”
It took longer than usual for the information about the frog to come to mind.
[Chaos Frog (E)]
-Potential (???)
-The frog that was wandering around when summoning the warrior.
-I don’t know how it will grow into a being with chaos.
-Stronger than the current owner (Cho Hyun-soo).
Chaos frog?
No. If you’re going to do it, you should unify it into one, whether it’s Chaos Frog or Chaos Frog.
Okay. It’s called chaos outright, but it’s even stranger if the names are unified.
“It’s more spiritual than that.”
It’s a story I’ve never heard before.
Since it is a tower, it wouldn’t be strange if there were living beings called spirits.
Chaos is like an attribute.
There are some monsters that are born with attributes that have nothing to do with their race value, like the Ice Salamander.
This is my first time hearing about the attribute called Chaos.
“however…….”
I squinted my eyes.
I don’t know about anything else, but there is one sentence that bothers me.
-Stronger than the owner.
He’s stronger than me?
Even though he is a spirit, isn’t this too much?
I also have pride.
If you say it’s weaker than an orc, then that’s understandable, but frogs are a bit.
A time when I was shaking my head and feeling distrustful of the information in front of me.
“Kaaaak- huh.”
Suddenly the chaos frog spat on the floor.
For a moment, I thought, “Do frogs actually spit?”
-Cheeeeeek
When I looked down at the ground at the smell of something burning, I saw that the rocks were turning black.
“…Wow.”
Did the rock just melt? Really?
No matter how you look at it, it’s real.
I saw several rare sights today.
I felt like I was going to have a brain freeze again, but I managed to come to my senses.
“Okay. I admit it.”
I’m a cool guy.
Even if you don’t believe it, you have to admit and accept what needs to be admitted.
Judge quickly and act without hesitation.
I knelt down politely and placed the frog on the floor.
The pecking order is complete. This guy is stronger than me.
Looking at it again, I think the pattern is truly beautiful.
You could say it’s a symbol of bravery.
The frog, who had been looking up at me, looks back and forth between me and the floor.
Oh my. What a mistake.
I quickly took off my backpack and placed it on the floor.
Only then does the frog climb onto the backpack as if satisfied.
Judging from the things you do, you’re quite intelligent.
Nod.
The frog moved its head.
[Tip. Pets are connected to their owners. Try interacting with each other!]
[Tip. If the bond is low or the owner is weaker than the pet, the pet may bite.]
Instead of a solid ally, you’ve gained a weak ally.
I didn’t know this.
I’ve seen people use special skills and powers from the top to summon or tame creatures, but I’ve never seen anyone get a pet.
I looked down at the frog.
If we leave it like this, won’t it run away into the forest on its own?
That doesn’t seem like a bad idea in its own way.
I am a person who has never raised a dog, let alone a frog.
The story is about someone who doesn’t know how to communicate or anything.
I tried to look away with some anticipation, but the frog just looked at me and didn’t seem to have any intention of moving.
Yeah. Since I already got it, I should take it with me. Let’s compromise.
“Mr. Frog, you shouldn’t spit on me. I’m the boss after all, right?”
“Geeeeeek.”
I spoke in the most polite voice possible.
The frog waved his hand as if he knew.
What am I doing right now? I’m getting a sharp shock.
“Phew.”
Okay, we’ve just finished the tutorial.
In the future, we will have to face more difficult and dangerous tasks.
It’s not just monsters and traps.
From the 6th floor onwards, you will meet other people.
And among them, there may be some who are hostile to me.
Like the Sangun Guild.
“It’s not just the Sangun Guild. You can assume that all the major guilds are after me.”
The government and the guilds that spread fake tutorial strategies. They are all the same.
The moment my identity is revealed, assassins may swarm me.
Even aside from those guys, there might be those who simply kill to obtain items.
In any case, the frog could be a strong trump card.
“Okay. Let’s do well with what we have now.”
Let’s be positive. It’s already a tough top, so there’s no benefit to be gained by mentally straining it.
That aside.
“I guess I should give it a name, hmm.”
Since we’re going to be together from now on, I can’t keep calling him a frog, right?
What should I name it?
“A name befitting a super frog who comes down from the sky with light, possesses the attribute of chaos, and is so strong that he is stronger than me.”
It’s difficult. It’s difficult.
I thought about it for a while and finally made a decision.
“Let’s call him Deokchun.”
“Huh?”
Deokchun looked at me as if he had misheard, but his mind had already been made up.
Since we’re going to be together anyway, wouldn’t it be better if we had a friendly name?
And this guy is big and looks like a toad.
How does it suit the name?
“Let’s go, Deokchun.”
“Gah! Geeeee! Geukgul!”
Deokchun expresses his refusal vehemently.
Like it or not, I packed my backpack.
I ignored Deokchun, who had fallen to the floor, and headed towards the portal.
“If you don’t like it, stay. If I go over, the portal will close? Have a good time here.”
“Hey… Geez!”
I took a step forward without hesitation, and Deokchun, who had been crying in frustration, jumped up and climbed onto my shoulder.
I don’t know how someone of that size can have this much jumping power, but let’s just assume so.
You are a more powerful spirit than me.
Okay, then.
“You just need to take these and go.”
“What?”
I pretended to go straight through the portal to Deokchun, but I had no intention of doing so.
There are still some rice cakes left that I can take with me, but I can’t just leave.
-Kuduk
I pulled out the spear that the warrior had thrown.
If you have something sturdy, you will feel secure.
furthermore.
“Yeah. I thought it would be here too.”
I approached the shiny, eye-catching object.
[Necklace of the Fishman Warrior]
-If I have it, something good might happen?
A description that appears consistently on each floor.
I still don’t know the identity.
Let’s have it for now.
I took the necklace and put it in my bag.
Unfortunately, the crossbow was broken after being stepped on by a fish warrior. I decided to just leave it behind.
“I packed everything I needed to pack.”
I thought about it for a moment.
Should I go straight to the 6th floor or should I wait a little longer?
“Let’s go right now.”
The thought was short. I couldn’t know the situation on the 6th floor anyway.
If you ask the community for no reason, it’s obvious that only your location will be revealed.
All they know about me is my nickname, Petit Gongdyu.
I’ll find a way out somehow.
“There’s no benefit to staying here.”
First of all, there is no food.
Goodbye, tutorial.
It was dirty meeting you, let’s never see each other again.
-Wooooooooooo!
[congratulations!]
[You have successfully cleared the tutorial.]
[System restrictions are lifted.]
[Please follow the guidebook.]
The view changed with the sound of a notification.
I frowned for a moment at the sudden incoming light.
I couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
“Wow.”
person.
Unlike the previous tutorials where I moved alone, there were people there.
The noise and murmurs they make.
Hunters wandering around in various costumes.
Various styles of buildings can be seen above.
A completely different place from the tutorial section, which was no different from the wilderness.
We arrived at the 6th floor, the safe zone.
* * *
The moment Jo Hyun-soo reached the 6th floor.
The building of the Sangun Guild, located on the 30th floor, was filled with swearing.
“What are you guys doing!”
The main character of the swearing is Choi Seong-mo, a rookie from the Sangun Guild.
-Bang!
When he slammed his hand on the table, it shattered into two pieces.
This is no ordinary table. It’s an item made from the byproduct of a monster.
It’s an object that can withstand most shocks, but it breaks so easily.
Gulp.
The guild members standing along the wall also looked down and observed.
“Why are you all just sitting there? If you have a mouth, speak up!”
Choi Seong-mo, who had been grumbling as if he couldn’t get over his anger, shouted.
“I told you to find the kid who posted the strategy and make a public notice about what he wrote!”
The guild members flinched at his chilling gaze and began to make excuses.
“Well, that’s because the community is anonymous, so there are some limitations.”
“I tried talking to the kids on the 10th floor, but it didn’t seem to have much effect.”
“In the end, if he doesn’t take down the letter, we have no choice.”
chuck.
Choi Seong-mo extended his hand to his guild members.
It just means keep quiet.
“Are you asking because I don’t know?”
Choi Seong-mo knows too.
Community is a system service.
It’s not something a regular hunter can intervene in.
At best, they can only pressure others using the name of a large guild.
Most people would have given up at that point.
A closed space called a tower. If you get caught by a large guild, you’re done.
That’s usually the case.
‘What on earth is that Petit Gongdu guy believing in?’
The problematic petit gongdu had no brakes.
Rather, it is a situation where they are confidently uploading strategies for other levels.
“Phew.”
Choi Seong-mo wiped his face.
The smell of cigarettes all over my hands.
He was already a heavy smoker, but stress caused him to smoke even more.
“But, brother. Is it something to be concerned about like this?”
“Since I’m going to draw aggro anyway, wouldn’t it just calm down on its own if I leave it alone?”
“Of course, it’s a good thing to catch those who spread misinformation, but I think it would be better for us to focus on getting to the top.”
Choi Seong-mo closed his mouth for a moment at the guild members’ words.
They don’t know.
That the strategy that Petit Gongdu is uploading is real.
That was the difference between rookies and non-rookies.
As long as the ban is in place, it is impossible to give them a satisfactory explanation.
Choi Seong-mo let out a small sigh and waved his hand.
“Okay. Petit Gongdu, you said that guy was in the tutorial section right now?”
“Yes. Considering the time of appearance and strategy, it seems likely.”
“Tell the kids on the 6th floor. Check the newbies coming in thoroughly and feed them Baek-Hwan. If they find anyone strange, then… … .”
Swish swish. Choi Sung-mo pretends to cut his neck.
“Kill him.”
