Episode 151 Masquerade (1)
[The video plays.]
That short sentence… … .
… … I had no idea that she would come across so cruelly.
Baek Jin-ho looked at the screen with a white face.
“Oh, this can’t be right…” … .”
A voice flowing from the mouth.
What was shown in the video was truly shocking.
“omg!”
“W-what kind of ice trolls are they?”
The Dangun Guild players who were watching the video with Baek Jin-ho also screamed.
I knew that ice trolls were one of the strongest forces in the lower levels.
However, the people Jang Eun-seok is dealing with now are very different from what he previously knew.
The pressure is conveyed even beyond the video.
… … strong.
And among them, one troll was much larger and of a completely different class.
“Oh my god, I can’t believe I’m being pushed back even with that number of people.”
“Mi, it’s not at the level of being pushed around. completely… … .”
The woman who was about to say something soon trailed off.
This is because I couldn’t say that I was ‘completely playing with it’.
But who can blame her?
It was clearly visible to everyone that the Dangun Guild’s attack force was destroyed without even the slightest resistance.
however.
This is where the real problem started.
Even though the ice troll, presumed to be the chieftain, did not kill the players of the Dangun guild.
Rather, Jang Eun-seok captured the young ice troll and threatened him.
-Luminous Hair Ann: Wow, is this a true story?
-Eat mom’s ashes and dirt: What… … Winning is important, right? Because the success of the raid depends on it.
-KKK1004: ㅇㅇ. I understand, but it doesn’t look good. Is it really necessary to stop falling behind in skills?
-Player annoyed by bug: What do you mean? There is nothing more important than winning. Don’t be clumsy. If I die while seeking fame, will you be responsible?
-Demon King who levels up through martial arts: It seems to be a difference in taste. But it’s not good for me. I don’t know if it’s like that in a third-rate guild, but I didn’t know it would be like that in Dangun. 1st place should taste like 1st place.
-Why are you crying?: That’s right. I think that if you are the best in Korea, you should not cross the line even in unfavorable situations.
The world’s 7 largest guilds. And Korea’s undisputed number one.
Carrying this title required a lot of responsibility.
Even if it was considered unreasonable, the weight of being number one meant that even that had to be embraced.
But that stupid guy destroyed the tower that he had worked so hard to build.
At this level, it’s not like it’s been tarnished, it’s like it’s been completely messed up.
Because of this, Baek Jin-ho couldn’t control his anger and went on a rampage.
“Aaaah!”
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
With a heavy roar, the entire stalactite was cut off.
“Huh. Huh. Huh. I… … young. Send the kids to get them right now. “It doesn’t matter if it’s at the top of the tower and not the 7th floor, so grab it right now!”
Baek Jin-ho shouted like crazy, but no one tried to move.
“Hey you bastards, listen to me now…” … .”
“Tongue, bro… … !”
The man who was looking at the screen swallowed dry saliva.
“this… … “Look at this.”
Where the finger pointed, there was a very familiar man.
Only then did Baek Jin-ho realize the situation.
“this… … “Did you upload the video aiming for something?”
The nightmare isn’t over yet.
It’s only just begun.
The screen changed.
The one who appeared was Jinhyuk.
Jinhyeok, who quickly overpowered Jang Eun-seok, entered into a daily discussion with the chief.
“Oh, it’s huge. shit. “Did I just use some paint?”
“A human can move like that?”
“You’re fighting on your own as an equal when the whole raid team can’t attack you… … .”
An exclamation burst out.
The sight of the chieftain and Jinhyeok fighting is truly a dragon and tiger fight.
In everyone’s eyes, it was a close game in which victory or defeat could be decided by just one mistake.
However, there is only one person.
‘no.’
Baek Jin-ho let out a completely different kind of exclamation even after seeing the same scene.
‘Where on earth do you think that’s boiling?’
It seems that most people didn’t notice because the editing techniques were used so cleverly.
Baek Jin-ho, the top ranker, could sense the gap between the two just by looking at a few moves.
A cat enjoying entertainment and a mouse struggling desperately.

That’s the relationship between the two.
And as if to support that prediction.
As time passed, Jinhyuk began to press the chief.
Of course, they did not forget to satisfy the viewers’ five senses with appropriate directing and spectacular performances.
Proof that every action and every line was a perfectly calculated script.
-Luminous Hair Anne: Wow. I’m tired. As expected, Korea’s strongest!
-Eat Mom’s Ashes and Dirt: Korea is the strongest? Even if you search all over the world, there is no ranker who can fight like that.
-KKK1004: ㅇㅈㅇㅈ. I am a fan of Kang’s videos, and although he was incredibly strong from the beginning, what is more surprising is that when the next video was updated, he became much stronger.
-Player who is annoyed by the bug: But really, how many floors of the tower did the rotten water climb up to before?
-Demon King, who levels up through martial arts: According to the currently known information, the highest climber is around the 20th floor. That’s probably it.
-I am Park Hyeok’s castrate!: That too is just a rumor. Look at the level of players now. Doesn’t getting to the 10th floor seem like a miracle?
-Hair Salon Prayer Meta: Well, I don’t think even the highest ranker would have been able to get past the 20th floor.
-Saeyoung Eonhwan: Well. If it’s Kang Jin-hyuk, he might have gone further than that.
-Howl’s Moving Castle: Anyway, it’s clear that he’s a player to look forward to.
The temperature difference is extreme from the video posted by Dangun Guild.
It was difficult for even Baek Jin-ho to keep up with hundreds of comments per second.
‘Even in raids where others are risking their lives, they have already made arrangements to upload videos while fighting.’
Baek Jin-ho bit his lip.
This is something that is simply difficult to accept.
My stomach was pounding with jealousy and awe, but my eyes continued to be glued to the screen without realizing it.
Because it was attractive.
And because it was that overwhelming.
They even forgot that it was a competitive relationship.
＊＊＊
While all guilds and people around the world are paying attention to a player named Kang Jin-hyuk.
Jinhyeok, who is at the center of the topic, is currently going through a painful time.
‘I’m crazy, why would I say something like that?’
It was nice to be able to break up with the group and come out of the tower for the first time.
okay. Up to that point, it was a perfect plan to relieve the travel fatigue.
the problem is… … .
“Hehehe. Indeed, this is a carriage worthy of this noble body.”
This is the giant mosquito that is right in front of you with a smile on its face.
Ellis nodded repeatedly as if he was satisfied.
The one she is currently riding is ‘Apollon IE’.
It was the only hypercar in Asia.
It’s a monster of monsters with a price tag of 3.6 billion, but it could easily cause an uproar since it was purchased calmly by throwing away a few jewels.
There is nothing to be concerned about as they have omitted all complicated procedures, such as delivery and all, with the S-class business card.
Ellis was very happy to receive newspapers that were not available in the tower.
‘You shouldn’t have said it’s okay to do whatever you want because you worked hard.’
I thought I wouldn’t do any more ignorant shopping since I bought so many things last time.
I guess I thought the Ataraxia matriarch’s greed was too funny.
“you… … Are you going to use up everything you bought last time?”
“Once you wear clothes or accessories, you never wear them again.”
“For that matter, it seems like I wear the same thing every day… … .”
I guess I was caught off guard by Jinhyuk’s words. Suddenly Ellis opened her eyes wide.
“Hey, there are multiple sets of the same thing!”
A voice that suddenly becomes sharp.
okay. You know it too.
What a ridiculous amount of money this is.
“yes. yes. I’m sorry I didn’t know you. How about buying a country right now? Then everything in that land will belong to noble Ellis.”
“hmm. It’s a country… … . Well, it doesn’t make sense that a being like me doesn’t have a kingdom. At this point, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to establish a branch of the Ataraxia family in the human world as well. They say Namsan Tower is high, so they built a castle there… … .”
“… … .”
At the point where I was seriously thinking about this, there was no reason to talk anymore.
Jinhyuk sighed softly and left Ellis to daydream for a moment.
Without realizing that she was left alone, Ellis continued to fantasize about building her own kingdom.
But right then.
Tiring!
A status window appeared in front of Jinhyuk.
[An invitation has arrived from Rick Hennessy.]
[If you bring this invitation, you can participate in the ‘Masquerade Ball’ held in the main banquet hall on the first floor of the Tower of Trials.]
[Masquerade]
Content: This is a kind of social gathering for top ranked players designated by TOP. In addition to exchanging information, we have prepared various sub-events, so we ask that everyone participate. (Please note that the prom will be held at midnight today.)
‘Hoo.’
Jinhyuk’s eyes narrowed.
If it’s a masquerade ball, it’s one of the event quests in the Tower of Trials.
I didn’t know that something that usually happens only after reaching the 25th floor would already appear.
‘Well, it would be much better to do it sooner rather than later like before.’
In the past, when Jinhyeok reached the 25th floor, the number of people playing Tower of Trials was only a handful of sand.
Was it just that newbies who were curious about what this game was or BJs who were making a fuss about developing rare content came in from time to time?
Thanks to this, we decorated the interior in a grand manner, set off firecrackers, and made all kinds of noise, calling it a prom.
In fact, only one person came to the banquet hall.
Not three or two, but just one.
okay.
‘f*cking me alone.’
In the end, I remember dancing alone in a room with no one in the room, looking in the mirror, and I got so angry that I burned down the entire ballroom.
Jinhyuk, who was lost in thought for a moment, shook his head.
‘Let’s just forget about the dark history.’
The situation is completely different now than then.
This time, many players were climbing the Tower of Trials.
‘Plus, the fact that you can meet top rankers from around the world is definitely an attractive proposition.’
I briefly met Namgung-cheon on the 7th floor, but it wasn’t often that I got the chance to meet promising players from Japan, North America, and Europe.
Of course, the meaning of making friends here does not mean laughing and making friends.
Unique abilities and skills that are desirable just by looking at them.
I mean, I’m going to spoon it on to the highest-end buffet I can get it at.
The worries didn’t last long.
Jinhyuk hurriedly opened his mouth.
“Ellis.”
“huh?”
“Let’s stop shopping and get ready to go. “We have to get back into the tower before the sun sets.”
“W-what? I still have a mountain of things left to buy!? And did you forget that we decided to eat it all with chicken, tripe, salmon, and beer?”
Ellis was so shocked that he almost broke the window of the hypercar.
It’s not a joke, it’s almost like you can barely see the wings hidden behind your back.
If we weren’t careful, the raiders from large guilds nearby would have all flocked here.
“article… … “Have fun.”
“Be careful or whatever. “What should I do with my food?”
“That’s right, I’ll buy you as much as I want later. “There are much more important things to do than that.”
There is actually one interesting point about this masquerade ball.
Of these, no one knows.
A point that even Rick Hennessy, one of the organizers, doesn’t know.
fantasy, game,
