Perhaps warmer temperatures.
Perhaps it needed a special item to stimulate it.
These were the two known methods to hatch a creature’s egg.
However, eggs of ‘ancient beings’ only had one set method to hatch them.
‘Thank you. For giving me such a gift.’
Jin-hyuk expressed his sincere gratitude and, at the same time, turned his hand towards the black egg.
Anubis’ body trembled slightly.
He didn’t want this to happen.
This human was going after one of the best eggs, after all.
It didn’t make sense to consider this a coincidence.
However, Anubis only flinched slightly. He didn’t show much movement after that.
He was confident that a human could never awaken an ancient species.
But, you know.
‘I know how to awaken them.’
Jin-hyuk smiled.
At least, in this world, there was no variable that could shock or fluster him. Even a god didn’t scare him anymore.
An Ancient Species was not something just anyone could come across, which meant that there was very little information about them that existed. However, some secrets about the ancient species were revealed by an explorer named Pesis.
Maybe he was a geek about this kind of thing?
Pesis loved to explore, and unlike ordinary dwellers of the Tower, his curiosity and desire to learn more about the other floors was his main driving force.
Thanks to that drive, Jin-hyuk was able to discover various secrets of the Tower.
‘Actually, he is the dweller who knows most about the tower beside the Gods and me.’
He was probably on the 20th floor now…
He wanted to meet that one again.
Jin-hyuk smiled.
Then he grabbed the black egg.
[Lv4′ Communion’ is activated.]
The ability that made people feel a sense of familiarity with him upon their first meeting.
This skill had been why he had kept Park Hana alive in the labyrinth.
Woong!
A bright light appeared and enveloped the egg.
Ba-dump! Ba-dump!
The heart of the being inside the egg began to beat.
“Oh.”
Rick narrowed his eyes as he watched this.
The slightest movement of the egg of an ancient species, which typically did not respond to anyone, drew everyone’s attention.
Jin-hyuk took a deep breath.
‘Stay calm.’
Attracting its attention through Communion was just the start.
The important thing was successfully finishing the steps he needed to take from here.
Jin-hyuk maintained the Communion Skill and stimulated the lower part of the egg using Glacier Formation.
‘If I activate the Blessing of the Stars now…!’
A faint trace of energy began to move in from the egg’s left side.
Flinch!
The egg’s reaction intensified slightly.
‘Right, this is all so appetizing that you cannot stand it, right?’
Right.
There was only one way to hatch and tame a beast from an ancient species. It was to attract their attention using magic, which was their source.
Of course, no amount of magic could satisfy their needs. This was because they used extraordinary powers.
‘I fully understand them.’
No matter how delicious the food was, one would inevitably become bored if it was eaten all year round.
It would be the same whether it be chicken, pizza, or ramen.
‘Then.’
‘I will train you with various types of magic.’
If there was a buffet filled with thousands to tens of thousands of varieties of food, it would never get tired. Moreover, if the buffet was 1st class, it would even be more attractive.
Jin-hyuk then proceeded to use the Sword Grave and the Element of Fire. The heavy and dense magic began to touch the egg.
Flinch! Flinch!
The egg began to shake wildly as if it had gotten hit by something.
From the egg’s point of view, this was like placing meat in front of its nose but not feeding it.
‘Give up and come out.’
Jin-hyuk knew.
‘There is no other master who can satisfy you like me.’
Jin-hyuk then used Daylight as well.
Puak!
A crack finally appeared on the surface of the egg.
“T-this cannot be…”
“I cannot believe it.”
“An ancient species egg is hatching.”
All three of the Gods looked on with shock and complex emotions.

“…”
Rick simply stared blankly.
But Jin-hyuk didn’t care about their reactions. The important thing now wasn’t the Gods but what kind of beast would emerge from within.
And…
“Kya!”
The ancient species screamed from within.
It had an appearance that resembled a reptile about 1 meter in length.
It had amber eyes which were constantly twitching over its black skin.
Gulp.
Jin-hyuk himself gulped at the sight.
‘Isn’t this one a bit too violent looking?’
He wanted to run to it immediately, hold it in his arms, and shower it with love.
But he had to be patient.
As long as he hadn’t officially imprinted on it, it was still just a dangerous beast.
If he carelessly tried to touch or hug it, his life would be forfeit.
Jin-hyuk concentrated his magic on his fingers.
Wooong!
He wondered briefly if tangible magic would take form, but it soon became a small glass marble.
“Kyao?”
The ancient being sniffed and approached him slowly.
Although a bit wary, it seemed to have difficulty resisting the temptation of this magic.
“This is the first food I will give you. If you want to be with me in the future, you can eat this.”
“Eot?”
The ancient being tilted its head.
“I said eat, not eot.”
“Eot!”
“Right, whatever you understand it as.”
He would have hit them on the head if someone else had said it. But not this one.
The ancient species then put the marble into its mouth.
[An ‘Engraving’ has been done on the ancient species ‘???’]
[If you give it a name, the pet will show more loyalty to its master.]
[The great achievement of taming an ancient species for the first time in the Tower will be put in the ‘Hall of Fame’.]
[All the beings in the Tower will pay attention to your achievement here]
[The ancient beings and the spirits give…]
Numerous status windows appeared.
…great!
Jin-hyuk was beaming on the inside.
In the past, he had only fought against the enemies in the Tower. He had never successfully adopted a pet and could finally fulfill that dream here.
“Eot!”
After the being gulped down the bead, its body trembled as it swung its short, blunt tail from side to side.
Maybe this meant that it felt good.
Eat a lot and grow fast.
Later it can be fed with a crying Anubis.
‘One doesn’t seem to be enough.’
Jin-hyuk created another bead of magic and watched the beast eat it up.
But…
‘I should give it a name.’
It needed an appropriate name to increase its loyalty. Since it was an ancient being, he needed to give it a good name.
“Hmm…”
After thinking about it for a moment, Jin-hyuk slowly opened his mouth. From the first moment he had seen this one, one thing had appeared in his mind.
That black skin and yellow eyes.
“You will be Sweet Potato.”
Right, a ripe and roasted one.
“Sweet Potato”
“No, it is Sweet Potato.”
“Sweet Potato!”
Maybe it liked the name? It was opening its mouth wide.
Right…
From now on, you shall be Sweet Potato.
Time passed, and Jin-hyuk made his way towards the gate to return to his world.
Horus, who had been rejected by Jin-hyuk, looked a bit sad.
“If you ever change your mind, just tell me. The Egyptian Gods always welcome you here.”
Seeing that he was saying this even now, it felt like Horus was quite a greedy god.
Still, it looked like his hawk eyes weren’t just for decoration.
It could clearly see a prospect.
“Thank you for the kind words, but I do not think I will change my answer.”
Jin-hyuk smiled as he refused him once more. On the other hand, Anubis, who had gotten hit at each attempt, hid his anger.
It would be hard to put up with the anger in the future.
Everything he had planned had gone awry, and even the egg of an ancient species had been stolen.
Finally…
“It was an interesting meeting. I didn’t think humans could be this surprising, but should I say that Mr. Jin-hyuk has changed my thoughts? I never imagined that there would be a player who can catch and tame an ancient species.”
Rick walked up to Jin-hyuk.
“There are some special people in the world.”
“Haha. I think you did something too absurd to call you as part of that ‘some’… having said that, I look forward to our next meeting, and I will be waiting. And I hope that day comes soon.”
Excitement and anticipation.
And beyond that, a clear intent to meet a human being.
He was a librarian of the Tower. Not the top-most member, but definitely a dweller of the Tower.
At that moment.
[Middle floor manager ‘Rick Hennessy’ has ‘subscribed’ to your channel.]
[You have acquired 10,000 coins]
[The commission fee rate of 90% is reduced to 80%.]
A golden status window appeared.
“… uh?”
This time, even Jin-hyuk couldn’t help but become embarrassed.
The Tower of Trials online community.
More than 100,000 videos are uploaded here each day. It was truly one of the Tower’s virtual hot spots.
It went without saying, but only a few of those videos were worth seeing.
‘It is nice to have some. Damn it. Nothing here is worth it.’
Choi Hee-jae, the producer of KDS broadcasting station and the director of the program ‘Climb the Tower of Trials’, despaired that he had to stay up all night and couldn’t get one good video.
The number of coffee cups stacked on the table seemed to represent his anxiety.
At that time.
Clank!
“Come on now, you haven’t left work even now?”
The door opened, and a woman with long straight hair and a suit walked in.
It was Kim Daun, who was also in charge of this program.
“Whatever, we need to get work done. I have to go to a sauna. This week is completely exhausting.”
“That bad?”
“This is sickening. It wouldn’t even make my son try to see any videos. The advanced squad went up to the 6th floor, but all we see are the goblins and orcs on the first floor.”
He wanted greater simulation. More color and action.
In order to captivate the viewers, he needed that.
“The broadcasters couldn’t go home and rest thanks to the abundance of useless videos. Oddly enough, my child looked at me and said the man next door to us asked why his father comes home without getting work done!”
Choi Hee-jae lashed out angrily while massaging his forehead.
Meanwhile, Kim Daun moved her mouse.
“Uh… senior. Have you seen all of these?”
“I saw them. Overnight. Have you ever listened to me?”
“Then the video which just got uploaded?”
“What?”
At her words, he got up from his chair
Right…
The resurrection of an ancient species.
And the first player to receive the support of an administrator’s subscription.
Two ridiculous baits!
Thanks to this, the bulletin board was on the verge of crashing.
“This!”
Choi Hee-jae grabbed the monitor with both hands.
He almost banged his head on the monitor.
“These two were posted now! Get it right now! If it is on the budget, we can get our director to get this to our side! Get it? Even if he has to kidnap them! Uh!”

Choi Hee-jae shouted urgently.
But…
“S-senior.”
Kim Daun’s voice trembled slightly.
“Both are from the same person.”
