Episode 529: A New Opportunity
-You have access to unknown secrets.
Just one line.
I don’t know what this means.
I just wonder if it has something to do with David’s last words.
Both Killdereth and Daybond spoke directly to the head. It seems to be an ability used by powerful demons, such as the Demon King.
First of all, I’ve never seen any other race use it.
Well, that’s true.
‘I think that’s what David was trying to say. Something about the tower and the worshippers.’
Things that usually cannot be said due to systemic constraints.
As an NPC, you cannot escape the influence of the system. If you give out information that you shouldn’t, you will have to pay a high price.
That’s why Lilka indirectly gives me a lot of information.
If you are a Demon King, you may be able to avoid the system’s surveillance for a short while and speak. It is not completely impossible. Magi is the energy closest to chaos, and chaos distorts the rules.
It is possible that it may operate while ignoring the system’s functions. I don’t know if that is possible with Magi though.
Let’s skip the functional part for a moment. What’s important is what the guy said.
It was almost like a rambling remark, but if we look at the essence of the content… … .
Hope. It was about having hope even when you think it’s impossible.
‘The guy evacuated the demons even though he knew that this world was created by the system.’
Why? Even if it was fake, was it painful to see the demons you couldn’t protect die?
It was a very human reason, but it’s not like the Demons don’t have emotions. If not, there might be another reason.
We don’t know the details because the guy who could tell us the answer is dead. Still, we can know one thing.
“The goal of the worshippers may not simply be eternal life.”
Not all worshippers are like that. There must be some who simply do not want to die and try to escape the ruined world by becoming NPCs.
However, there are certainly those who have become worshippers with a purpose beyond that. We will have to find out what that is.
At the point when David died, the only one who could give that answer was him.
A being believed to be on the 90th floor. A worshipper of the Diamond-rank tower.
Although there are individual differences, the Gold rank has quite high combat power, but what about the Diamond rank?
You’ll also have to deal with the fragments of chaos, so there are a lot of obstacles.
anyway.
“We won!”
“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
“I took down David Bond!”
The battle was won. There were still some demons who were still breathing, but with their leader gone, it would be difficult for them to unite as before.
-Hey hey hey hey! I took care of the commander!
-The demons have been destroyed!

In addition, reports of victory from other places were heard through the communication beads.
All that’s left is to deal with the remnants.
This is something that can be easily solved without me.
In fact, that was the point where the scenario ended.
“Evil Eye! I did it! I did it!”
Shail, who had taken David’s breath away, hugged me.
It’s not just him.
“I owe you a great favor. You showed your incompetence at the last minute. I never thought I would come to acknowledge humanity.”
Hopegrama also looked at me with the corners of her mouth raised.
[First in the entire server! Recognized by the Dragon.] [Obtain the title, Friend of the Dragon!]
A new title was created.
Although we didn’t have many contacts, I was the only one who received his recognition.
Although Shail was there as a colleague, he seemed to have a slightly lacking feeling.
Well, looking at the current growth trajectory, it’s possible that in the future, you’ll become a recognized entity rather than just a simple Hopegrama contractor.
‘That can’t be possible.’
Because Shail is a neutral NPC.
He clicked his tongue slightly and stuck out his fist.
“Was the ending good?”
“Ahem. What else did I do besides meddling?”
“Wow! It feels good to take care of that damn guy!”
The bald man also raised his fist and shouted.
“My gold… my gold! This is a deficit.”
“But the result is good, right?”
“That’s it!”
Although Nyangpun grumbled, he seemed satisfied.
It seems that since he was part of the empire and did a lot of behind-the-scenes work rather than taking the lead, he was worried that his contribution would be small in this scenario.
I think it’s expected that he’ll be rewarded since he played a big role this time.
[Chapter III – End of the Great Invasion] [You will be transferred to the waiting room.]
* * *
A space that suddenly becomes dark.
I wasn’t flustered because I thought it was time for the chapter to end.
It’s really over. All that remains is a feeling of relief or regret.

The last chapter of the 80th floor has ended. A dark space, a familiar sofa, and a screen unfolded.
I sat down on the sofa and stared at the screen playing.
The corners of the mouth go up.
“Oh, so that’s why the name of the scenario was that?”
“Yeah.”
Advertisements
The screen showed what happened after the last chapter.
It is unknown how much time had passed, but Shail, riding on Hopegrama, flew over where the remnants of the demon tribe were and fired spirit magic down below.
Even the Hopegrama didn’t support it and continued to breathe.
“Brass is a scam. Wide-range attacks are rare, and there aren’t many that have that much power.”
The demons who were struggling to resist were swept away.
It was a sight of burning everything on the ground. The demons who had lost Daybond and their commander were only struggling.
-Choosh, hoosh
The screen continues.
This time, it’s the Empire. The guy who became the fallen tower lord was given the title of warrior.
Not only am I gone, but even Bekal, who was a candidate, has fallen and regained his senses, so in reality, he is the only one who can be called a warrior.
Under the blessing of Herelda and the Pope, who were recognized as saints in name and reality, she was officially enthroned as a warrior in the name of the Emperor.
You’ve made it, you’ve made it. When we first met, you were at the bottom of a collapsed tower.
It is noticeable that we are gradually escaping from the influence of the Demon Tribe.
This world was full of worries. For a world on the verge of destruction, there were not enough human resources to escape danger.
In some ways, it may have been more concerning because the situation was similar to our world. We too are going through a period of transition toward destruction, but a hunter who has only reached the 60th floor is being called the strongest.
However, it is not like this place has any magical or mystical abilities.
Well, that’s similar to how we think about it since science has advanced. Monsters are also living things, so it’s not like they’re completely immune to fire.
Of course, depending on their characteristics, guns are no match for those with high defense or large size. But firing missiles would still be effective.
[Scenario – Dragon’s Breath Ends.] [First in the entire server! Successfully escaped destruction!] [Title, The One Who Saved the World is created!]
“Ohhhhh!”
Maybe because it’s the final scenario, they’re giving it a lot of titles.
The one who saved the world. The name itself is unusual. I had high hopes for something good, even if I didn’t know what it was, and I checked out the titles I had received this time.
[The One Who Saved the World (Title)]
-The one who saved the world that was on the verge of destruction!
-You are a hero!
-All salvation acts receive a bonus.
“Is it like a buff? It’s okay.”
The good thing about this title is that it has an expansive scope.
From the description, it seems clear that a buff is coming, but what we should pay attention to is the word “Act of Salvation.”
“It’s very subjective, but in some ways it’s a universal word.”
For example, if it were written that it was not simply an act of salvation, but an act to save the world, there would be significant restrictions.
Because the title effect only comes into play in situations where you’re dealing with something that could threaten the world.
On the other hand, if we say that all acts of salvation are… … .
“Help someone who has been crushed by something like a carriage can also be seen as an act of salvation.”
At least that’s what I think. I’ll have to try it out to find out more, but it can’t hurt to have it.
It’s nice to have a title, though.
[Chaos +50 points]
“Yes, yes!”
Advertisements
The chaos points received in return for successfully completing the scenario were also unusual.
If you add up what you’ve gained from defeating the fragments of chaos, it’s close to 100 points. Plus…
‘I feel like the confusion is gradually increasing.’
I don’t know if it was because of my climbing style or if it just naturally increased the more I used it like other stats, but at some point I started to feel more and more confused.
The conditions for challenging the 100th floor have already been met a long time ago. Now, it’s like collecting chaos to fight against the fragments of chaos.
So, now I have everything I need to get. The screen in the waiting room is also gradually coming to an end. I can see Shail leading the way, pushing out the demons’ territory and making it a place where people can live.
The moment when you think like that in your head.
[A world that escaped destruction.] [Designate an NPC with high contribution to the scenario.]
“uh?”
The screen that I thought was finished started moving again.
Shail getting closer little by little.
[Warrior] [Contractor of the Last Dragon] [Collapsed Tower] [Saint’s Lover] [Dream Interpreter] [The One Who Killed Demon King, Daybond]
.
.
.
Shail’s achievements are pouring in.
There are some achievements we’ve accomplished together, and some that he’s accomplished thanks to his abilities.
I thought I had done quite a bit, but looking at it like this, it’s no joke.
While I was secretly admiring it.
[High contribution.] [Neutral NPC, Shail, is given a new opportunity.]
A message came to mind.
-Waaa …
A strong light came out along with the vibration.
[Neutral NPC, check Shail’s information] [Build worldline] [Regenerate Shail’s body and soul.] [System intervenes.] [Memories return.]
Even though I couldn’t open my eyes properly due to the light growing stronger as time passed, the message continued.
And then suddenly.
The light fades and only darkness remains.
[Shaile is given a choice.] [NPC / Re-challenge]
A selection of options that blink slowly and wait for your choice.
No way.
“… a new opportunity?”
The one choice that every NPC has: Successor.
When your successor clears 100 floors, the NPC is given a new opportunity.
A chance to reclaim the ruined world. Something that had only been heard in words and even Rilka did not know the truth about was unfolding before her eyes.
In the distant space, I felt someone’s gaze.
Shail.
I couldn’t see it, but I could tell. I’d been moving with the guy for a long time.
What are you trying to say? The gaze that had been on me for a long time disappeared.
[Selection Complete]
There was only one choice left in the darkness.
[Retry] [Good luck.]
Why, it seemed like I heard the guy’s voice saying, ‘I did well, right? Thank you.’
Advertisements
A moment to indulge in sentimentality.
[Information about Shail will be erased.]
-Phase, phase, phase!
Sparks flew without warning.
A thunderbolt pouring down on me. No, this is the system’s intervention.
There should be no information left about the being that has obtained a new challenge. The reason there has been no information until now is because the system itself got involved and got rid of it.
“Ugh!”
I twisted my body in unexpected pain.
Something is forcibly entering his head and trying to erase his memories of Shail.
It was a similar feeling as memories were being forcibly created as the scenario progressed, but a shock that was incomparable to that time weighed down my whole body.
