Episode 34 my death. (One)
————————=
One.
okay. come back.
Now I can say that I am ‘back’ here.
[Randomly copies the skills of the Demon King of Monster Autumn Rain.]
The pit where he fell unconscious. Underworld.
my hell
People called me a loser. I was a loser. It was here that gave me that opportunity. When the Flame Emperor was engulfed in flames and burned to death, I did not miss the last opportunity gifted by the tower.
why?
[Forms a skill card.]
Why did TOP give me this opportunity?
It was the same as the question, ‘Why did they allow such power to a psychopath like Yoo Soo-ha?’ why? Why did you give this opportunity to a person like me, who was burning with jealousy while looking around in insignificant communities?
-I saw all the skills.
Bae Hu-ryeong said.
-Would you like me to read it to you now?
‘yes. please.’
-okay!
Perhaps the top was disappointing.
I thought while listening to Bae Hu-ryeong recite the skills.
Maybe Top was disappointed with the attitude shown by the hunters.

[Resentment flows like rain]
Rank: S-
Effect: Not visible. It’s not visible. If people don’t see something in front of them, they assume it isn’t there. ‘They are the ones who have gone blind.’ That’s right. ‘These are ignorant things.’
If so, please show me.
Show us clearly how many lives have died in their ignorance. The sky will gladly pour down red rain as much as the blood innocently shed in this world.
※However, only the blood that you directly witnessed falls as rain.
+
Flame Emperor Yu Suha absolutely destroyed the 10th floor stage.
I don’t mean that I broke it in the sense that I cleared it. The resentment that dolls have. Wonseong. resentment. I would have ignored them all and literally destroyed them.
Wouldn’t the Tower have regretted that?
Wouldn’t you be disappointed?
‘What’s your next skill?’
-This is it.
Bae Hu-ryeong said.

[The heart echoes and cries]
Rank: A+
Effect: Strengthens your auras by using your emotions as fuel. The stronger your emotions, the more likely your Auror will react. revenge. Hatred. sadness. Joys and sorrows. It doesn’t matter what your feelings are. The flames will burn regardless of the wood.
※However, you become more and more addicted to that feeling.
+
‘······.’
I took my time and thought about it.
Yes. Toph must have been disappointed.
‘There is a hidden quest on every floor.’
Just like there was a quest to comfort the dolls in the Inferno Mansion.
I didn’t know that maybe there was a hidden quest hidden on the 12th floor.
Even if I wanted to find out, I listened intently to Bae Hu-ryeong.
+
[Summoning a hundred ghosts]
Rank: SS
Effect: Summons those you killed as monsters. The dead do not inherit their abilities from life. It does not inherit memories. They are simply summoned as monsters such as goblins, orcs, zombies, and skeletons.
※However, it can only be summoned once a week.
+
In addition to this, there were many minor skills.
However, it was those three skills that caught my heart.
‘···good.’
I nodded.
‘decided.’
Which skill to choose?
12th floor in some way, no.
Will you clear the stage until the 20th floor?
‘I’ll take this.’
-ok?
Did you find my choice surprising?
Bae Hu-ryeong tilted his head.
-That’s it? hmm? I’m not sure.

‘no. ‘This will be the best for clearing at least the 20th floor.’
-Well… No, whatever. Do whatever you want. I’m not sure what you’re thinking. Anyway, I’m going to talk nonsense again.
‘Look forward to it.’
“Yes,” I said as I reached for the card.
‘Geomje nobleman. ‘Dak, you’re familiar with the Sword Saint’s daily routine, right?’
-ok? That’s what I know. Grandpa Marcus has a very set schedule from the time he wakes up at dawn until he goes to bed at night. He’s a complete bastard.
‘Please tell me your dinner schedule. There is something I can use it for.’
-Of course.
I grabbed the card.
A voice echoed in the dark space.
[Selection complete. Copy the skill.]
[Returns to 24 hours ago.]
So I went back to a day ago.
[Your current hunter rank is D.]
[There is a penalty due to the skill.]
[Relive the trauma of the enemy who killed you.]
Of course there was a penalty.
I got to see the trauma of the so-called Demon King of Autumn Rain…
Now is the time to first solve the problem on the 12th floor.
[Penalty depth is medium.]
[This is Agwido (餓鬼道).]
we.
We’ll talk about that nightmare a little later.
2.
Bae Hu-ryeong taught me how to live in one second.
It is said that it is difficult for humans to even live properly for just one second.
This time I really realized that it was really like that.
“—Are you going already?”
cafe.
The witch sat on the chair and looked up at me.
It wasn’t just witches. The heads of the large guilds each looked at me with various expressions. The count who died from the devil’s blow on the 12th floor also smiled softly as he offered his help.
1st floor city cafe.
The place where I signed an agreement with the guild leaders.
That’s where I returned.
‘day.’
I once again realized how grand the time period of 24 hours is.
It was dizzying.
In one day, we opened a new era, cleared the 11th floor, and fought the Demon King on the 12th floor. But, oh my god. It all happened in less than a day.
“···yes. “The 11th floor will open in a little while.”
I got a little choked up.
I cleared my throat from coughing and spoke.
“If you don’t want to fall behind others, you need to prepare now.”
“I don’t know what kind of area the 11th floor might be, so how do I prepare?”
“······.”
There are no problems on the 11th floor.
The problem begins on the 12th floor, where the devil intervenes.
There you divide.
Someone betrays you and you are torn apart because of that betrayal.
Even people die.
“···Kim Gongja?”
The witch narrowed her eyebrows.
“are you okay? Suddenly his expression became strange. “Are you feeling sick inside?”
“hmm. it’s okay. It’s just that they all lead the guild and are great people, so I was a little moved to hear that I was in this position. “I guess it felt like a world away from home.”
I continued calmly.
Bae Hu-ryeong was watching me like that in silence.
“Anyway, yes. that’s right. everyone. I know what the 11th floor is like. Not only that, but I also know the contents of the quest on the 11th floor.”
“······!”
The guild leaders’ eyes changed.
Information was as important as life. It was as if I had told them this. I know a clue to the problem that your life depends on. It’s no wonder your complexion changes.
“When I cleared the 10th floor, they gave me information as a reward.”
“···The reason why I’m revealing that here and now.”
The witch opened her lips.
“Is it okay to interpret this as saying that you are willing to share information with us?”
“Sure.”
I lifted my index finger.
“But there is a condition.”
“say it. “I will listen with pleasure.”
“If I ask you [a favor] someday, please just listen to it once.”
I looked at the hunters sitting around the table one by one. The hunters looked worried after hearing my words. ask. It was an easy yet heavy statement.
“What kind of request?”
“I can’t tell you right now.”
“······.”
“But I can swear this here too. This is definitely not a request that will endanger your life. It’s not a request for money. I wouldn’t ask you to take someone else’s life. “If you think it’s an impossible request, you can just go ahead and say no.”
“Hmm.”
The Heretic Questioner stroked his chin.
right hand.
In the last episode, the hand that disappeared after being blown off by the Sword Saint’s sword.
“It sounds reasonable to my ears. To be honest, the conditions are extremely good! Ahhh. If you have information, you can deal with it in advance, and if you can deal with it in advance, there is almost no problem that you can’t solve. “I agree!”
“Hmm. “If only we had the right to veto… I would agree.”
The Inquisitor agreed and the Count agreed.
After the rest of the hunters finished thinking about it one by one, they promised that they would agree to my conditions.
‘okay.’
Clear stage 1.
“Then let me tell you. From the 11th floor to the 20th floor, the stage is a different world called the Ahakim Empire. It is being invaded by the Demon King, and the 11th floor is a battlefield where they fight over supply routes…”
My voice softly flowed through the cafe.
After hearing all the information about the 11th floor, the guild leaders started whispering.
“···indeed. Tutorial up to the 10th floor. “It means that we will be involved in large-scale fights starting from the 11th floor.”
“This is information worth a thousand pounds.”
“yes! “The fight will be completely different!”
“I think I should pass on some information to the guild members as well. Ugh. But we Sangryun kids have no talent for fighting…”
Hunters actively exchanged opinions.
I nodded.
‘With this, you can clear the 11th floor stage much more easily.’
It’s already changing.
Unlike the previous episode, a lot has already changed in this alone.
But it was still not enough.
“Then I’ll just leave… ah. Paladin.”
“hmm?”
The paladin turned his head. She was drinking her third cup of Americano through a straw.
“Why are you calling me?”
“The Holy Knight is the vice-leader of the vigilante group. Would you like to take a walk outside with me? “He has something to talk about while taking a short walk.”
“Hmm.”
The paladin looked around and shrugged his shoulders.
“what. I was planning to stand up soon too. “As long as the walk doesn’t take too long…”
“It doesn’t take much. About 30 minutes is enough.
“Then it’s okay with me too.”
The paladin put down his coffee cup.
“I will gladly accept your request for a date.”
3.
A city crowded with people.
Hunters talked about the 10th floor in the square, on the bench next to the fountain, and in the outdoor restaurant.
“If you look at the fact that there hasn’t been an announcement yet, it means that it was cleared by an unknown rookie!”
“Is that really true? “It’s probably just something the higher-ranking guilds are coordinating with each other.”
“Who really attacked it?”
“I also want to clear the stage.”
Murmur.
For those whose tomorrow was erased, clearing the 10th floor was an event that happened just moments ago.
Would you say it feels like I am walking through time without being deleted?
-Hey, zombie.
no. Strictly speaking, I wasn’t alone.
-Follow me. Follow me.
Because I have Bae Hu-ryeong attached to me.
‘Are you sure?’
-Are you sure. But don’t look back.
In order to safely clear the 12th floor, two conditions are necessary.
One is the cooperation of the heads of large guilds.
The other thing is that the Sword Saint is not hostile to me.
‘It’s already too late to go to the 12th floor and resolve the misunderstanding of the Sword Saint.’
I felt it painfully in the last episode.
‘Before climbing the tower, we must resolve any misunderstandings.’
Geomseong has a very bad relationship with the guild leaders.
If you point a knife at me, you will automatically get into trouble with the guild leaders. We’re already anxious because we can’t eat each other, but here’s the bombshell that he’s a traitor?
It’s a shortcut to ruin.
-Wow, that seems cool. Let’s see your tailgating skills. Zombie You probably won’t notice even if you turn around. Grandpa Marcus also has stealth skills.
‘I understand, so please just check that I’m following along well.’
So, I was currently [fishing] for the Sword Saint.
After hearing about Geomseong’s daily routine from Bae Hu-ryeong, I purposely caught Geomseong’s attention by following his schedule. Geomsung found me while having dinner at an outdoor restaurant he frequents. He stopped eating and immediately started following me.
of course.
“Gongja Kim. “Where are we going?”
The paladin walking next to me doesn’t know that.
“Even if you go into this alley, you will find nothing but a rather dark neighborhood…”
“There is a store I would like to introduce to you, Holy Knight.”
“store?”
“yes. It’s a store run by an unnamed pharmacist. The skills here are really good. If the name value was just a little more known, it would become a huge hit, but that didn’t happen, so it’s languishing. “If the Holy Knight takes a look and thinks it’s okay, please help me with the business.”
“Ummmm…”
The paladin walked side by side and examined my complexion.
I knew what she was doing.
‘The lie detector skill has been activated.’
The paladin opened his mouth.
“Is it true what I just said?”
“yes. of course. “Why am I lying to the Holy Knight?”
It’s not a lie because I’m actually going to introduce you to a pharmacist’s store.
“I’m asking this out of old age, but aren’t you plotting something suspicious?”
“I am trying to get help from the Holy Knight. Even if something dangerous happens, my life will be in danger, but the Holy Knight will not be in danger. “Trust me.”
“Hmm.”
The paladin slowly nodded his head.
It would all turn out to be true.
“sorry.”
The paladin smiled.
“I often hear that I have a serious illness. “Keep going.”
okay. Pass.
We passed through the alley and safely arrived at the pharmacist’s shop. At that moment, the pharmacist was moving a heavy load as if a new machine had been installed in the store. When the pharmacist saw the two of us approaching, he tilted his head at first, then smiled brightly when he recognized my face.
“ah! customer!”
“Are you still open, boss?”
“Ahaha. Business hours are over, but the store should be open to customers at any time! You are my first regular customer. “Tsk!”
The chemist put down his luggage.
Just a few days ago, his hair and clothes were shabby, but now he has completely transformed. After going to the beauty salon and buying new clothes, I felt like I was finally a prosperous shop owner.
“Whew. Oh, I’m sorry. customer. “Who is here…?”
“This person is a hunter who serves as the deputy guild leader in the vigilante group. Have you heard of it? “They say this name is Holy Knight.”
“···yes?”
The chemist’s eyes wavered behind his glasses.
“Now, the vice guild leader of the vigilante group!?”
“yep.”
“You are a very high person!”
Of course, this kind of reaction is normal for ordinary hunters.
“Now, what did the vice-leader of the vigilante group do to our shabby store… huh! drug!? Is this a drug crackdown!? Well, I didn’t manufacture drugs! “Even though we are operating in an alley like this, we have never manufactured even one gram of drugs, no, not just drugs, but bad drugs!”
“······.”
“I lived conscientiously! I will continue to live conscientiously! So please just do the investigation!”
The pharmacist fell flat on the floor.
This wasn’t a normal reaction.
“hmm···.”
The paladin made an embarrassed expression. Because according to the [lie detector], those words are all true. He seemed to be wondering whether to regard the pharmacist in front of him as an eccentric idiot or as a conscientious businessman.
“Come on, come on. president. “Don’t worry.”
Tuk-tuk.
I patted the pharmacist on the shoulder.
“I didn’t come here to expose you to vigilantes. “The boss is very skilled and has a clear mind.”
“sure···?”
“Compared to the owner’s skills, the store is doing very poorly. “It was so unfortunate that I came here to introduce you to the vice-captain.”
The pharmacist raised his head and opened his mouth blankly.
“So, what if it’s an introduction…?”
“It’s literally an introduction. Please give each type of potion to the vice-captain to test. You never know? “If you think the drug is effective, maybe you can sign an exclusive contract with the boss.”
“······.”
“Wouldn’t it be much easier for the boss if we deliver potions to the vigilantes?”
The pharmacist blinked.
It seemed like it took him a little while to understand what I was saying.
After a while, she grabbed my hand.
“Oh, angel…!”
It’s not an angel, it’s Confucius.
“He helped us almost sell the store and placed a really big order, uh. uh. Now, to the sales aisle… Are the customers angels? “How on earth can I repay this favor?”
That was the moment when the store owner, who would later be called the Lord of Pension Castle, opened his eyes.
Step by step.
Someone stepped into a quiet alley. Because the sound of footsteps was particularly heavy, everyone, including the paladin and the pharmacist, turned their heads.
“-there.”
The owner of the footsteps was wearing a black suit.
“Everyone, except that man, please leave.”
And then he glared at me coldly.
Sword Saint.
It was the old man in this episode who still didn’t trust me.
The old prosecutor’s voice rang softly in the alley.
“This old man wants to talk quietly with that person alone.”
good night.
It’s time to clear the second stage conditions.
etc,
