Episode 712, 98th floor
After clearing the 97th floor, everyone took a break.
Taking time to heal the wounds and reflect on the battles we’ve fought.
There was also the intention of waiting in case those on the 96th floor came up.
“They say the portal is blocked.”
“I guess it’s because the ordeal has just ended?”
“There has never been a case like this.”
“It’s the 90th floor. That could happen, I guess.”
Unfortunately, the portal to the 97th floor is blocked.
It wasn’t strange.
The circumstances are different, but the 90th floor has always flowed this way.
This is also why there is a checkpoint on the 90th floor.
‘Now that Erembat has fallen asleep, I don’t know what will happen to those who come up after him.’
I wonder if it will be easier to come up.
Alternatively, the system could prepare for another ordeal.
Still, I wasn’t too worried.
This incident proved it.
Those who are climbing the tower now are strong.
Smile Cap also acknowledged it.
He said that he did better than he expected.
On that basis.
“Oh my. Are you feeling better? You’re already in bad shape, so what can I do if you limp?”
“Yes. Judging from your appearance, it seems like you’re in more pain. Are you okay?”
“Haha! This kid!”
“What! You started it first!”
There was a close relationship between the climbers.
I think we became a little too friendly, but that’s how it was.
Due to the nature of the tower, it often moves alone and is often hit in the back of the head by others.
That’s because the Pujing Union and I came forward and dealt with the large guilds, raiders, and worshippers.
If it weren’t for that, there wouldn’t have been much movement in groups.
Because it’s not easy to meet someone you can trust in an environment where anyone can kill you.
‘At most, there are only four or five people hanging out together.’
Even if you just look at those who are grouped among the top hunters, that’s true.
Rookie group, fairy club.
We are currently affiliated with the Pujing Union, but we started out with four members including me.

The Noble Knight led by Ophelia is an exceptional case as it was created from the beginning with the purpose of being a suicide squad.
“You all are so friendly.”
“That’s because the Pujing Union people are crazy.”
“Someone hit that crazy guy.”
“You do it. I don’t want to get in a dogfight with him.”
Now, I have become friendly with not only the Union people but also other high-ranking hunters.
I also interacted with other group members.
“Hey, sir, can I touch the armor?”
“I’m still 26 years old.”
“…Please stop being so annoying, hyung.”
“Eeeeek! That’s right!”
Even the relatively serious and heavy noble knights were dyed.
Sexy guy Kim Jung Hyun.
When that guy is next to me, the boundary is easily broken down.
It might be because there are many crazy, or rather cheerful people among the Union people.
It’d be nice to become friends, I guess.
“Okay, okay, don’t be angry and follow along. Petite. Love. Peace!”
-Bam!
“Ouch! Brother! It hurts!”
“You shut up.”
I flattened the head of the guy who was talking nonsense and shook his hands.
Why is your hair so hard?
As expected, Lilka is the best when it comes to honey chestnuts.
I glanced at Nyangpun.
The grip on the back of the head is most similar to that of a cat paw.
“What? Why are your eyes so wide?”
“Oh, no.”
I tried hard to look away.
When I die later, I should at least see Lilka once.
As I cleared the 97th floor, I realized that there really wasn’t much left.
There were some things I was looking forward to, but at the same time, I was also sad that my relationship with the NPCs I created at the top would end.
That doesn’t mean I plan on staying at the top though.

Most of the personnel have fully recovered.
It takes a little more time to replace or repair the broken weapons, but that doesn’t take long either.
tomorrow.

We head to the 98th floor.
Before that.
“I have to decide what to do with this.”
Corner of the ruins.
I sat on the collapsed pillar and took out the items I had put in my inventory.
A reward given in return for the system’s intervention.
It looks like a hexahedron cube.
I didn’t feel any particular energy.
[System Cube]
– The system’s decisions can be overturned.
-Can resist bugs.
– This item will be removed after use.
There isn’t even a rating.
Yet its value was incomparable to anything else.
At least there is no item inside the tower that has this function.
It is an item that actually affects the system.
It means to repeat.
‘You can change the decisions of the system.’
Depending on how you use it, you can accomplish amazing things.
For example.
“When someone who has spent all their coins is kicked out, you can veto that decision.”
This means that you can prevent yourself from being forcibly evicted.
Of course, I have no intention of using it in such a place.
There is no other reason, but the risk is high.
How to prevent the tower from going out even after using up all your coins?
So does that mean that person becomes like an NPC?
Or maybe they artificially create one more coin and leave it behind?
I don’t know.
The system is flexible, so even if a bug occurs, it somehow finds a solution.
The problem is that we don’t know what that method will be.
I thought about it some more, but at least for now, there’s no place to use it.
You can use it later when you need it.
“Phew.”
I lay down with my back against the pillar.
Just looking at a clear sky makes you feel refreshed.
I plan to look at it a lot in advance now.

I had to enjoy it while I had the time, because I didn’t know what would happen if I went up.
Also, let’s try to guess what might be on the 98th floor.
‘Come to think of it, I thought we were going to have a general meeting before the smile cap goes up.’
The person who has truly risen to the highest position is Smile Cap.
He was the only one who made it to the 98th floor.
You’re lucky.
Being able to prepare in advance is a huge advantage.
I also have personal curiosity.
‘That guy is quite the monster, and he failed twice, I heard.’
I can’t imagine.
What on earth is there?
However, one thing was predictable.
If there are fragments of chaos there too.
“This is going to be crazy hard.”
Just as on the 97th floor, Erembat displayed more strength than usual due to my influence.
If there were any fragments of chaos on the 98th floor, there was a good chance that he would be there too.
“Oh, wait. Wait a minute. So the 99th floor is like that too?”
This is a bit like that.
Is there such a funny case?
To deal with Chaos Shards, you need to have a lot of Chaos, and the more Chaos you have, the stronger the Chaos Shards become.
I can’t help but curse at how this system is so dysfunctional.
So the theme of the 90th floor is chaos.
Confused, confused.
“I was wondering where you were lying down. Wake up! The meeting is starting.”
“Oh, I got it. Don’t hit me.”
“If someone heard me, they would think I was hitting them.”
I glanced at the hand Lickjak was holding and examined the guy.
I was swearing with my eyes.
I want to see Bald Man.
This is when you need a tank.
“It seems like the meeting is running a little late, but there must be a reason.”
“If there was anything to prepare separately, I would have done it in advance. I don’t think this is a problem that can be solved with items or equipment.”
We headed to the conference room while chatting.
All survivors on the 97th floor had already gathered.
Looks like I was the last one.

“Okay. I think everyone’s here, so let’s get started.”
Smile Cap, standing in front of the polite blackboard, began his presentation.
About the 98th floor that I experienced.
“As expected, there are fragments of chaos above. You know? The 90th floor is the chaos section.”
Everyone nodded.
I thought that the early to mid 90s would be okay, but the latter half would be full of fragments of chaos.
“Anyway, this guy is really tough. Fortunately, I know what kind of guy he is.”
It was a very important part.
The concept these guys have.
Because depending on what it is, you can prepare a little bit.
“The name of the guy above is Moulin Cassen. He is a monster made of chivalry and punishment.”
His declaration caused a stir among the people.
I also frowned.
The concept that makes up the fragments of chaos could be either an ability or a tendency.
Maybe it’s a combination of all of those things.
For example.
‘Delbert is sick and gambling.’
The guy loves gambling.
But that doesn’t mean I use it as an ability.
Fog of the Plague. Don’t use it as your main.
‘Erembat is silence and gaze.’
Unlike Delverton, both concepts demonstrated their abilities, albeit with the limitation of being in the fog.
He even used the power of disaster there.
In fact, this wasn’t the first time something like this had happened.
It wasn’t even a measure of strength.
Kimuanu, who I met on the 91st floor, also used two abilities in the game, but lost to me.
Even if I fight Delverton, I’ll lose.
However, there was one thing they had in common.
The concept they have is that of their own history and identity as they have lived so far.
So the concept is rarely adapted to combat and the correlation is unclear.
Look at that mighty Erembat.
‘Silence and gaze aren’t meant to be fought over, are they?’
There is not even a connection between the two concepts.
It was just the biggest part of the life of the being called Erembat.
But what about the guy he was talking about?
Advertisements
Moulin Cassin of chivalry and punishment.
‘It’s strong even if you have unrelated concepts. But what if you have concepts of similar tendencies?’
Even that seems like it would directly affect the battle?
“I’ll tell you up front, I fought that guy twice and lost both times.”
The guy scratching his head took out a recorder from his inventory.
He probably left it there to record and analyze his fighting scenes.
“Let’s just take a look without saying anything. Then you’ll figure it out on your own.”
The guy prints out the notes on the screen.
Smilecap followed the guy’s gaze and saw his figure.
There are two recorders in total.
It didn’t take long to see it all.
8 hours in total.
You might think that’s a long time, but it’s not if you think back to the weeks we fought against Erembat.
Even the first video.
“The first try was over in 30 minutes.”
I couldn’t even last an hour.
That guy was that strong.
If there was a Valkyrie, would it look like this?
I could tell, since I had the power to do swordsmanship.
That guy.
‘Even Alios would be amazed if he saw it.’
It was a sword that was both destructive and refined.
The divine presence shown to those who are especially regarded as enemies is truly overwhelming.
“Anyway, that guy is the owner of the 98th floor. From now on, I’ll tell you what to watch out for.”
Then, he told me the valuable information he had obtained while dying.
Like how to stimulate the guy.
Or the object the guy is guarding.
Even the composition of the field and things like that.
Brief information is exchanged and stories are told.
It would not be an exaggeration to call all of those gathered here veterans.
In-depth and detailed plans were quickly discussed.
Smile Cap, who had been watching the scene, opened his mouth.
“That’s it for now. Anyone have any questions?”
There was no particular reaction from anyone.
Probably because we’re focusing on the ruler of the 98th floor.
Advertisements
So I raised my hand.
“say it.”
“Platinum rank worshipper. He must be on the 98th floor right now.”
Smilecap said.
He can move between floors and I’ve encountered him on the 97th floor.
He did not show up during this ordeal.
That’s right.
“… That’s right. Shit.”
It meant that it would be revealed on the 98th floor.
* * *
[Entering the 98th floor.]
As planned, I entered the portal as soon as the morning dawned.
The first impression wasn’t bad.
It’s not desolate, nor is it densely populated like a primeval forest.
The weather was a bit dry, but overall clear.
The place I arrived was a hill.
Below, there were windmills, wheat fields, and rows of red-roofed, single-story buildings.
It was a pastoral scene worthy of being seen on European stamps or postcards.
“Yeah.”
“Do you want to go there?”
Deokchun’s reaction went even further than that.
There was a large lake.
The lake located across the field gives a refreshing feeling just by looking at it.
Maybe it’s because I’ve been swimming in polluted waters for a while, but I feel like I want to go there.
Not bad.
Since I was already here, I had to move.
Not surprisingly, no one fell with me.
It was natural since it was sent randomly the moment you crossed the portal.
But there was no need to worry.
[Nimary Baldness]: Ahh. Communication Security. Looks like we’ve reached Area D. Over.
[Meow Meow Punch]: This is Meow Punch. We have arrived at the B-zone mining site, over.
[Jeongsuri Licks]: I think it’s Village 10 in Zone A. Let me check.
We already know the topography of the 98th floor.
It’s not difficult to join.
The important thing is to deal with the ruler of this place.
That’s what I meant when I said my position.

[Petit Gongdu]: Gong☆Du, the lake in Zone C has arrived!
The operation has begun.
