Episode 153 < It's awesome. (2) >
“Huh?!”
Geomseong was Geomseong. Although he was embarrassed, he swung his sword until the end. If I hadn’t shaken his heart, he would have been blocked from even eating his first herbal meal.
But this time, my move worked in the nick of time.
“…!”
My holy sword was aimed at the old man’s neck. Stop. The old man stopped his movements, squinting at the blade just 5cm from his own neck. The sword that Geomseong swung in his final struggle was still more than 15cm away from my neck.
“after.”
I laughed bitterly.
“I won. “Elderly.”
“…….”
Geomseong’s face rotted rapidly.
“Where is this? invalidity! “It’s invalid!”
“Ahh, I don’t know what you’re talking about. A win is a win. Even if you go to the battlefield and lose, do you plan to call it invalid? Yeah? “I never knew you were that kind of person.”
“No matter what, there is a degree! This… This… .”
“This? what?”
“Isn’t this too cruel!”
what? Fatal?
That’s a shitty compliment, right?
“Fuhihaha! Thank you, old man. I heard that I was being rude to the Sword Saint! What can I say, I feel like living in this world is worth living. May you live forever.”
“this… … .”
Geomseong trembled. He looks like he’s going to die because he hates me. The more it happened, the more I enjoyed it.
“I myself have been holding back my desire to talk about the ‘recluse’! I’ve waited this long out of consideration for you. “Is it okay to trample on an old man’s heart so petty?”
“Okay, next loser.”
“Los, loser? her. I’ve fought 53 times so far, and I’ve won 52 of them! “If you have 52 wins and 1 loss in 53 matches, you are definitely the winner!”
“Originally, the very end is the most important. Seocho King Hangwoo Don’t you know, Hangwoo? Even if you fight 100 times and win 99 times, if you lose once, you are in trouble. If Geomsung is Hangwoo, then I am Bang Bang. “I am the master of the world.”
“So you’re saying let’s have one more round!”
“huh. Don’t fight. I won’t have to fight for the next 6 months. For the next 6 months, everyone in the neighborhood will spread the word that I won Geomseong. “After that, I’ll consider fighting something.”
“her… … Big, huh… … !!”
Now Geomseong was on the verge of fainting. Oh hotongjaera. The heart and blood vessels are clogged and the blood vessels are distorted, so it looks like you are in a state of intoxication. I must pray for the peace of the Sword Master.
At that time, a voice was heard from not far away.
“… … You look friendly. “Both of them.”
Pot!
Someone appeared out of thin air and landed easily. He was the Black Dragon Lord (黑龍 lord). The crowd in the outfield let out a soft gasp at the sight of the Black Dragon that appeared using the transfer skill. The top hunters from ranking 1st to 3rd are gathered in one place.
“Hmm.”
The Black Dragon Master also recognized people’s gaze. He smiled softly and waved his hand.
click! click!
The hunters were busy using their smartphones to take pictures of the three of us together. Only then did the Black Dragon Master turn his head to look at us, and he had a very dumbfounded expression on his face.
“Death King is childish, it happens all the time… . Geomseong, why are you like this these days? Did hanging out with Death King lower your mental age? “Other than your noble image, you’re a corpse.”
“I don’t want to hear from a witch who trembles like she’s breathing!”
“ah. okay. If you think about it, you were a bit enthusiastic at the beginning of entering the tower. I vaguely remember… . “I don’t really miss it, though.”
The Black Dragon Master’s eyes narrowed as if he was remembering the past. But he only did it for a while. Immediately the Black Dragon Master calmed his expression and told us his business.
“It’s good to play like kids, but today, show your side of being number 1 and number 2 in the rankings. Now, except for you, all other rankers have gathered in the Great Library.”
“yes?”
I asked as I put the holy sword into the hilt.
“What happened?”
“Work happens every day without getting tired of it, but… . huh. “Today is a bit of a big deal.”
The Black Dragon Master spoke quietly.
“Let’s open the 31st floor.”
3.
It’s already been 56 days since I cleared the Great Library.
The past two months have been hectic for us.
what? I had a hard time waking up from the 21st to the 30th floor, so I can take a break? That’s a story about ordinary hunters. Top rankers like the Black Dragon Master and me were actually busier. To exaggerate, I almost died.
A month ago, a successful warlord in Africa completely collapsed, and about 1,300 remnants of the army fled to the tower. It’s crazy, but this happens quite often. There are already a lot of entrants, and they’ve been extremely busy splitting up warlords.
“welcome! “I’ve been waiting for you, everyone!”
When we arrived at the Great Library, the Heretic Questioner smiled and welcomed us.
He’s cute like an angel, but when you remember that he had the exact same smile when directly interrogating 33 people in the process of dismantling the warlord, the cuteness level drops a little.
“I heard that they are going to open the 31st floor?”
“yes! Urgent tasks have been completed to some extent. There is still a lot of work to be done, but management can handle it. Ahhh. “We must fulfill our responsibilities!”
“hmm.”
I nodded.
The purpose of being a top ranker is to conquer the top. Move up, raise your flag, and let those following behind you know that there is still ‘way to go’. Shows direction. When you see direction, hope arises automatically.
In return we hold power.
With that responsibility, we risk our lives.
“Death King. By the way, what happened in Dalian this morning? “Geomseong is behind me with a shit-chewing face!”
“It looks like you want to poop. “Let’s be considerate of the elderly and end the meeting quickly.”
“Oh my! Geomseong, it’s okay to go to the bathroom. If you wait a few more minutes, the 31st floor won’t run away! oh. Are you constipated? “Then it’s a bit difficult.”
“These guys… … .”
“hmm.”

The paladin cleared his throat.
“Now that everyone is gathered, let’s proceed with the procedure.”
The paladin turned his head and looked at Hamustra.
Hamustra was waiting next to the table in silence, wearing the clothes of a cafe employee. Hamust was no longer the bookkeeper of the Great Library. Here, he was a part-time worker at the library cafe Planetarium.
“Then call the [Library Director].”
“hmm. “I understand.”
Hamustra smiled and walked out of the library cafe. Not the front door, but the back door, that is, the place where the ‘no entry for unauthorized persons’ sign was posted.
After a while.
A child wearing loose pajamas came in following Hamustra.
“You called me… ?”
The child yawned loudly.
“Ah, it’s Death King. Long time no see.”
Did he just fall asleep? The child was even hugging a pillow in her arms. It was a pillow with a colorful peach on it.
No matter where you look, he looks like a kid.
[A princess walking through a mirage greets you.]
That person is the newly appointed library director on the 30th floor, replacing Hamustra. It is not an ordinary constellation, but a so-called ‘pillar’.
I bowed my head.
“yes. “It’s been a while since I saw you, Princess.”
There will be an opportunity to talk about that constellation later.
What is important now is that [The Princess Walking in a Mirage] is in charge of the library and the Apocalypses. It is true that we act as a guide and helper in conquering the tower.
“Hmm.”
The princess looked around the cafe tables with sleepy eyes.
“All the top rankers have gathered… . ah. Are you going to start today?”
“that’s right.”
The Black Dragon Master answered on our behalf.
“You said it two months ago. They said they would open the next stage when we wanted. “Now that I’ve managed to sort out the house, I’ll start my strategy again from today.”
“Hey. You guys are really fast… .”
The princess rubbed her eyes with her hand.
“I’m telling you in case you’re mistaken, but there is no particular time limit to conquering the tower. It doesn’t matter whether you clear it in 600 years or 1200 years. It’s okay if you don’t clear it. Are you really going to unlock the 31st floor today?”
“okay. we are… … .”
“Oh sorry. Black. “I wasn’t asking you.”
The princess slapped the Black Dragon Lord.
“These matters are decided by the person ranked first. This is a rule. It’s the same for any tower. “You are third in line, so you have no power to make decisions.”
“…….”
The Black Dragon Master closed his mouth.
“Sorry. Isn’t it dictatorial? There are various circumstances at the tower. There are a lot of odds and ends depending on who takes first place, but for now, you are lucky. In the past… … .”
“Princess.”
Hamustra spoke quietly next to me.
“I don’t want to point this out, but you talk too much.”
“ah. sorry. Ever since I arrived here, I’ve been feeling sleepy… . Anyway, Geomtaeng. Are you really going to unlock the 31st floor?”
The person the princess was looking at was number 1 in our tower. It was a swordsman.
“…….”
Geomsung slowly looked around. The hunters who made eye contact with the old man nodded their heads one after another. Finally, when the paladin whose eyes touched him nodded his head, the swordsman finally opened his mouth.
“Please unlock it.”
“huh. okay.”
The princess spread her arms.
The pillow in my arms fell to the floor.
“I, the [Princess Walking in the Mirage], will temporarily guide this tower and acknowledge your ascension to heaven.”
At that moment, a voice rang out.
[Notify everyone.]
[As of today, the next stage has been unlocked.]
It was Top’s voice.
“huh. I’ll skip the welcome greeting since I’m here… .”
The princess waved her hand.
Then, a list appeared before our eyes.
+
1. Pure race
2. Noble people
3. Sanwa tribe
4. Saegi tribe
5. Goran people

No matter how much I scrolled, there seemed to be no sign of the list ending. Dozens? The list, which could easily be hundreds, continued one after another.
‘You’re finally here.’
I braced myself with a pounding feeling.
However, other colleagues seemed more curious than excited. They narrowed their eyes and looked at the list.
In times like this, the first person to ask a question was, of course, the Heretic Questioner.
“What is this?”
“You asked me well.”
The princess laughed loudly.
Are you the type of person who takes pleasure in answering questions?
“Press any of them once. Then you will find out.”
The Heretic Questioner listened to the princess’s words and clicked on the letters that said ‘pure race’.
Parbat, a hologram came to mind.
+
[pure race]
Extinction level: F (not at risk)
Proverb: ‘We decide the world.’
Description: A race whose abilities are all average. Depending on the world, pure people are sometimes enslaved by other races or reign as masters of the world. ‘We represent all intelligent beings.’ Pure people claim to be pure people, that is, pure human beings. They claim that the average is normal and further establish it as the standard.
Traits: [Quick Stance Switch], [Legacy of Records], [Square Enthusiast]
Evolved: None
Other names: Human, Hume, Humanoid, etc.
+
An image is even kindly displayed next to the explanation text.
Everywhere we looked, human figures that looked like us were drawn there.
“…….”
My heart pounding got even stronger.
If I remember correctly, the stages that will continue from now on are:
“It’s a tribal war!”
Race war.
“You must choose one race from now on! “That race will worship you like gods and build a ‘civilization’ as you command, and as you prophesy and oracle.”
Choose one race from hundreds of races.
The Flame Emperor, who was ranked first in the past, is a fairy. They chose a race commonly called ‘elves’. And the Flame Emperor manipulated the fairies as he usually did, and the process was so terrible that I will have to omit the explanation.
However, that was the first time I knew that elves could be such a violent and ferocious race.
‘For the God of Fire!’
An elf who freely slaughters other races while shouting,
This is an example of what kind of disaster can occur if the number one ranking is treated incorrectly.
“hmm.”
The Heretic Questioner tilted his head.
“What does it mean to build a civilization?”
“Literally. Build civilization the way you want. You can create a civilization of war-mad marauders, or you can create a civilization of scholars who reverence knowledge. It’s up to you. Oh, maybe it’ll be easier to understand if I say it this way?”
The princess sighed, bent down and picked up the pillow again.
“This time you”
The princess smiled while holding the peach pillow in her arms.
“Experience a constellation!”
Colleagues murmured.
Meanwhile, my eyes were going through the list.
Calculating which race to choose would give the best results.
‘Yonga tribe (龍亞族). This looks scary because it’s a dragon, but it’s actually just guys that look like wyverns, maybe? The fairies… I was attracted to it before regression, but no. Now that I think about it, the image of the Fairy people that the Flame Emperor created caused a deep wound in my delicate heart… .’
-Crazy guy.
Bae Hu-ryeong clicked his tongue.
-Just pick an ordinary pure race. You too are pure. me too. Soonin. Those who have tasted meat know best, but those who have lived the species know best.
‘no.’
It was obvious which race to choose.
+
103. Designated tribe
+
I silently touched the hologram of that species.
+
[Designated tribe]
Extinction level: A (high risk)
Alias: Goblin, etc.
+
Goblin.
A tremor like an electric current went through me as I witnessed the three-syllable word.
How should I express this thunder-like sensation?
love?
fate?
No.
‘I am a regressor who went back 11 years.’
So this is –
‘necessity.’
I took out a card from my pocket.
A secret weapon that I have cherished and cherished.
A draw that no one would dare guess.
‘The time has come.’
The poop-colored card had letters written in secret.
+
[Goblin High Society]
Rank: F
Effect: The King Goblin thought hard. ‘Our goblin culture is too low. All languages end with kerreuk, kerreuk. In this way, the majesty of this throne cannot be shined!’ at that time. The great goblin’s genius flashed. ‘Yes! From now on, I will say that the main seat is Gorek, not Keruk. Gork! It is a pronunciation that suits the noble sensibilities of this position.’
※However, conflict within the tribe will intensify.
※This skill is copied from Monster King Goblin.

-uh? hey. wait for a sec.
Bae Hu-ryeong’s complexion changed when he sensed that something was unusual.
-No? Surely that’s not true? Confucius. Even if you were the world’s biggest asshole, that wouldn’t be true. right?
I made a sad expression.
‘Goblin.’
I declared in a quiet voice.
‘It’s a goblin.’
Bae Hu-ryeong was silent for a moment.
And then it exploded.
-Hey, you crazy idiot!!
Ego.
It’s time to fly.
