How many are these?
10? No. There are 20 hidden traps, including the smaller ones.
How on earth am I supposed to break through this!
“Manager Kim, there was a reason why that guy fell from the third floor.”
Mr. Kim, who used to work at the same company that is now a failure, said this.
They say that you either have to be crazy or have reckless courage to break through the third floor.
Even though that gentleman had a bad personality, he was in good shape.
He said he had been in the special forces for a long time.
Maybe it was because that habit still remained, but whenever a new male employee came in, he would make a fuss about breaking military discipline.
“Now is not the time to remember that.”
Corporate life is not important. What’s the use of thinking about a company that doesn’t even exist anymore?
One important thing is that even those who were from special forces can easily die in this place.
Even leaving Manager Kim, there are many dropouts among those belonging to that great guild.
Even though they are people who have received all kinds of training in preparation for the day when they will be called to the tower.
“I know a little bit too.”
Before my company went bankrupt and I had to work as a porter, I tried to join a large guild.
The result? Needless to say, it was a total disaster.
Although I invested in all kinds of martial arts and weapon skills, thinking that I would become a hunter someday, all the guys gathered there were monsters.
Martial arts, sports, the military. There were a lot of experts who had received elite courses in various fields.
Among them, the large guilds are those that are selected through a selection process.
It means that this is not a place for ordinary people like me to hang around.
The irony, then, is that not all of them make it through the tutorial.
“Although the ratio is not high, there are some people among the general public who are independent and have risen to the upper echelons beyond the tutorial.”
That’s the thing to note.
A physically fit man falls, while a college student climbs the tower.
While professional fighters fell behind, ordinary people who went to work at a company also stepped forward.
Where does the difference come from?
It is clear that the tower is not a place that can be climbed simply with good physical ability.
I looked at the traps calmly.
‘All of them are dangerous.’
Any part of it could break or cause a major burn.
If you’re unlucky, you’ll have to give up a part of your body, and in the worst case, you’ll die.
-Clap
I took my crossbow out of my backpack and loaded it.
The very first spear-blade trap to be activated.
It clearly moved as if it had a sensor attached to it.
Let’s check. Does it only activate on people or if anything enters the area?
-Kirik
Although it was small in size as it was an item used by Cobalt, it was forcibly attached.
-Push!
I pulled the trigger towards the portal.
An arrow flying straight ahead.
The speed was extremely fast.
-Kurururung!
-Kwaaaaang!
-Kagagagagagak!
The traps that responded to the bolts started to operate with a loud noise.
An iron ball the size of an adult’s torso swayed from side to side, and a bunch of arrows flew down, making the sound of rain.
As the saw blades whirred and turned, iron skewers that looked nothing like ballistas were fired.
As the current flowed in a grid pattern and then disappeared, iron skewers that were no different from ballistas were fired.
Sparks flying from iron clashing with iron. Falling pieces of stone.
Noises that resonate like banging on your eardrums.

My ears are ringing.
But there was a harvest.
“I understand a little.”
I raised the corners of my mouth.
It’s not certain yet.
Not all traps have been triggered.
[The pit of the underworld]
-If you’re curious about what the afterlife is like, now is your chance.
[Black Tile – Checkmate]
-You will die instantly if you step on the black tiles. Avoid them.
Those two traps were not triggered.
The description is quite gruesome.
From the name of the trap to the description, it looks extremely dangerous.
I think it’s because I didn’t touch it directly.
“There are five shots left now.”
Unfortunately, there aren’t that many bolts.
If I had enough, I would have just kept shooting.
Do you know if there is a set number of times the trap can be triggered?
I don’t know about other things, but I thought it might exist in cases like arrow traps or ballistas.
“Starting with those two now.”
I picked up the crossbow again.
I pulled the trigger on the pit trap.
Once again the traps moved in response to the arrows.
The bolt flew past all those traps.
-Teeing!
It hit the floor and bounced off.
Unexpected results.
Doesn’t that work with arrows?
Maybe it only works when a certain amount of weight is added.
-Kirik
Just keep that in mind.
I aimed at the black tile located further away.
[Black Tile – Checkmate]
It’s a terrifying trap that’s clearly labeled as an instant death trap.
Near the end of the hallway.
Are you targeting the moment when we let our guard down after passing through all the traps? The positioning is incredible.
“I don’t know, though.”
I took aim, feeling the fraudulence of S-class power once again.
It was a bit far, but not so far that we couldn’t hit it.
-Tae-ae-aeng!
I was able to fit the tiles exactly.
This time the other traps worked, but this one didn’t respond.
I was convinced by this.
“Those two are the most dangerous. They are one-time effects. They are instant-death traps.”
The trap name and description are similar, but unlike other things, the important thing is that I have to step on it myself to make it work.
Because I have no idea what format it will take.
There is no choice but to avoid it as much as possible.
“The other traps are no joke either.”
But it’s a little better now that I can see it.
It seems like I’ll be able to pass somehow if I just don’t lose focus.
Three arrows fired so far.
I was able to get a glimpse into the secrets of the tutorial.
There are many reasons why untrained civilians could survive.
“There is a little bit of a gap.”
First, the 3rd floor trap section that I am looking at now.
None of the arrows I shot were ever blocked by a trap.
It’s not an instant trap. It takes time to work, although not for long.
“It’s avoidable enough.”
I was psychologically intimidated by the trap that was so terrifying from the outside.
If you’re going to die if you twist your neck, it’s stranger if you don’t get nervous.
But now that I’ve watched the trap unfold, it’s different. It looks possible.
“If you keep moving without stopping, you can get through.”
If you hesitate even once or mess up your timing, you die.
Whether stabbed to death, burned to death, or trampled to death.
But what if you move without being intimidated at the right time?
“I think you can pass even if you have average physical strength.”
That is, physical ability is not the only thing that is important in passing the tutorial.
If you have excellent observation skills and the ability to move boldly, even an ordinary person can pass.
It would be much easier to clear it if you had crazy physical specs like a national representative, but there aren’t many people like that.
“I’m not at that level either. I need to hold on to caution and judgment.”
In that sense, once again.
-Push!
Fired a crossbow.
To check when and in what direction the trap is activated.
Types of traps. The fastest route to get through. Plan B in case your foot gets tangled.
-Phewing!
He fired another bolt.
How powerful are the traps, and which ones can be withstood with potions and which ones cannot?
I figured out what I could stop even if it meant giving up an arm.
-Paang!
When I fired the last bolt left.
“You can do it.”
I became confident that I could clear it.
Last I checked, how long does it take for the trap to re-activate?
There is definitely a difference.
A period of about 4 seconds. The trap had a preparation time.
Now all that remains is.
“Just run there yourself.”
I tightened my shoelaces.
The crossbow has served its purpose, so put it away.
-Phew
Just in case, I opened the potion’s cap and closed it with my left thumb.
Because you have to drink it the moment you fall into the trap.
A dagger in his right hand. A knife is also attached to his side, ready to be drawn at any time.
-Two-wook
Let’s put the bag down for a moment. It’s quite heavy, and if you’re unlucky, it might trip on a trap and fall over.
Such a ridiculous death is unacceptable.
“Phew.”
At the very end of the hallway. I took a deep breath as I stepped back until my back touched the wall.
The timing for me to run. The route. The traps I must avoid. I repeated them carefully and definitely.
My heart is pounding so hard that I can feel my blood vessels throbbing.
Running a simulation in your head is one thing, but actually doing it is another.
I closed my eyes tightly and opened them again.
I kicked my foot just as the saw blade protruded from the wall and went back into the road.
-Shhh!
The dagger he threw away with him.
The traps reacted to the dagger and triggered with a squeaking sound, and there were 4 seconds left until the traps were activated again.
My body passed the starting line.
For a very short time the trap remains motionless.
The first survival route I drew.
‘Break through as many traps as possible from the start.’
Five traps passed like that.
One blade trap, one saw-blade trap, and three blade traps that stab into the wall.
I made it through without any injuries, and the next trap to avoid is.
-Phew!
Iron ball.
Four iron balls, each the size of a person, shake at different times.
Overwhelming visuals and the wind blowing with every movement.
It was a trap that would make you cringe just by looking at it.
‘It’s the easiest trap to avoid.’
I charged forward without slowing down.
This trap is all about visuals. Its role is to discourage and passively intimidate the challenger.
Of course, if you stop, you die.
Because the steel ball starts falling with acceleration at some point.
In other words, the longer the pendulum movement, the longer the hover time at the highest point.
If you time it right, you can get through by rolling forward.
Of course I won’t do that.
-Whoaaaaaaaah!
As I passed through the iron balls, I slid to the floor.
-Kagagagagak!
At the same time, arrows shot from both sides bounce off the walls.
This timing is f*cking perfect.
If you enter while sprinting, you’ll end up turning into a hedgehog.
The only way to avoid it is to pass by while sticking close to the ground.
“Now halfway through.”
After passing the arrow trap, I stood up straight and leaned against the wall.
A place with a hole that is barely big enough for one person to fit, unlike other places.
It was as if he was telling me to go inside.
-Kwaaaaang!
It actually served its purpose.
I was so scared that the ceiling fell down as I entered through the crack in the wall.
It wasn’t an ordinary ceiling. It was full of iron spikes like teeth.
I’m going to die just by getting wet. Why are you putting so much unnecessary detail into it?
-Kurururung
The ceiling, which had fallen to the floor, is gradually rising.
Now is the time.
I climbed up on it.
Why?
-Phushy!
When this trap returns to its original position, a ballista is fired from the front.
A trap that hides in a crevice in a wall and waits for the enemy to come out.
It’s truly a combination that you can’t let your guard down for even a moment.
They’re already threatening, but they’re even waging psychological warfare. They have no conscience.
“Still, it’s more doable than I thought.”
I raised the corners of my mouth.
If you make a mistake once, you die, but surprisingly, you have the luxury of avoiding traps.
This means that you don’t have to devise a strategy every second.
Maybe, just maybe, someone with insane physical ability could get through it without planning like me.
I’m sure I’ll get injured a bit though.
-Roar, roar, boom
I jumped to the floor before the ceiling trap closed.
Now is the time to take a break.
The central part of the trap zone.
The second half begins with a fire trap set up three steps away.
And in the second half.
“There are two traps that I don’t know how to activate.”
Ground pit traps and black tiles.
I swallowed.
My heart was still pounding, but I wasn’t scared.
Instead, a pleasant excitement and a moderate amount of tension filled my body.
Because I already had a way to avoid both traps in my head.
“Go.”
After catching my breath, I ran forward.
