Episode 39
I looked at the manager.
The cute bald lion mask catches my eye.
A face hidden inside.
I couldn’t tell what kind of expression he was making.
“what?”
『What did you do with the World Stone?』
“well……
What is the principle of absorbing the World Stone?
I just had a ‘feeling’ that it would work.]
I can only guess that it is the influence of Seongcheonjogyegong, which is established in the world of imagery.
‘Otherwise there’s no explanation.’
Just once.
In my past life, I have also touched the World Stone.
I didn’t feel this way at the time.
‘A person of virtue who has learned the complete Seongcheon Jogye Gong’
go.’
Battlefield Deimos’ Seongcheon Jogye-gong was half-baked.
How to deal with dark nebulae.
The nebula of light, which has the opposite nature, could not be captured in the world of imagination.
On the other hand, now it is possible to deal with the chaos by clashing the powers of the light nebula and the dark nebula.
‘In my past life, I thought I had reached the peak of nothingness.’
There were still many hidden secrets in the complete Shengcheon Jogye Gong.
If you achieve a higher level of achievement, you will be able to even know the source.
It’s a long story, but the conclusion is…
“I don’t know either.”
『Hehe. That’s an interesting answer.』
“I may not take much credit, but I am sincere.”
『I believe that. It has its own remnants.』
Surprisingly, the manager agreed with what I said.
“Is that the end of the question?”
“yes. In return for your honest answer
I’d like to give it to you.』
The manager’s suit flutters in the wind.
Something rose into the air as it squirmed through its pockets.
It is a rough stone.
I grabbed a stone that came close to me.
“What is this?”
『This is a token of interest.』
“I’m not the type of person who really enjoys attention.”
『Hehe…. I can use it somewhere.
It might be there.』
Manager smiling vaguely.
Are you saying you just won’t tell me?
‘Either way.’
［Eyes of Truth］
I used the skill right away.
［Piece of Ohron］
Grade: Legendary [L]
Type: Miscellaneous goods
Durability: 500/500
There is a treasure trove hidden somewhere on the third floor of the Tower of Trials. If you use the token in a specific location, you may be able to obtain a valuable item.
Following Dranka’s key fragment, it was an item related to a specific space in the tower.
‘I said the tower has many secrets.’
I remembered what the manager said earlier.
Hidden place.
information.
The final reward of the 0th floor trial is the World Stone.
It was also not known.
‘Is there a reward that is not in people’s hands?’
In terms of the game, it is a hidden piece.
“Then let’s keep it as a souvenir.”
I put the crude stone into the subspace pocket.

The blazing sun.
Intense light shines down on my head.
I put my hand to my forehead to slightly block the sun.
“It’s so damn hot.”
I looked around.
All you see is golden sand.
The haze rising from the ground met the blue sky and distorted the scenery.
[Exposed to Open Lv 12.]
[Stamina consumption increases by 20%.]
[If you move your body too much, you will get exhaustion.]
[Status Abnormality – Burn Lv 2]
[Status Abnormality – Thirst Lv 7]
[If the exposure time is longer, additional status effects are applied.]
Huh.
Sweat was beading on my forehead.
The scorching heat began to affect my body.
‘It’s worse than the Cheonho Station gate.’
I used the Seongcheon Jogye ball just as I did then.
Burning skin quickly calms down.
The suffocating heat disappeared, and it became easier to breathe.
[Confusion consumes 1.]
Instead, chaos energy consumption increased.
This never happened during the Cheonho-dong Gate.
The climate of the desert where the martyr died was that harsh.
‘First, understand the terrain.’
I walked with the sun at my back.
Sabak, Sabak.
Footprints were engraved in the vast desert.
[New terrain confirmed. The search rate increased by 0.01%.]
After walking about 50 meters, an alarm rang in my ears.
Now the search rate is 0.01%.
It was better not to listen.
‘How big is the area here?
I stopped thinking.
Why is the trial on floor 0 called a ‘tutorial’?
I immediately realized that I had been called.
Fighting monsters is better than wandering aimlessly through the desert.
When you walk five more steps.
［Dark Star – Spear］
He quickly extended his long spear.
Almost at the same time, a larva the size of an adult leapt out of the sand and flew towards me.
“Geeeeee!?”
A caterpillar suddenly rushed towards the tip of a spear.
You cannot turn your body in the air.
Pooh wow!
The caterpillar was stuck in the window as it rushed forward and turned into a skewer.
-Experience has increased by 0.3%.
A caterpillar stuck halfway into a spear.
Green bodily fluid drips.
I immediately retrieved the spear.
‘also. ‘Simply wandering around the desert can’t be an ordeal.’
hot sun.
Then, you must find your way up to the second floor while dealing with monsters hiding among the sand, targeting challengers.
I walked non-stop toward the west.
Several monsters came out, including bald eagles, scorpions, and poisonous snakes.
-Obtained 0.5% experience.
-Experience…….
It all became experience points.
Desert monsters are good at surprise attacks and have excellent attack power.
Instead, its durability was weak, so it could be easily defeated if it targeted a vital point.
Of course, it is not easy to respond first and attack a critical point when you are on the receiving end of a surprise attack.
This is possible because of me.
Growling.
My stomach trembled.
‘When was the last time you ate?’
I couldn’t eat a single meal while going through the ordeal on the 0th floor.
Once you get to the first floor, walk non-stop.
Because I fought.
Although I could preserve my stamina and confusion, I could not avoid feeling hungry.
I took out the food I had prepared in my subspace pocket.
Battle rations.
It is a food that can be consumed without much preparation in any situation.
The contents include food packaged in a bag, and a container containing 500ml of water.
“Is this how it was done?”
I pulled the string sticking out from the side of the bag.
all.
Bubbly-
It started to warm up with a boiling sound coming from inside.
After waiting for about 3 minutes, a pleasant scent tickled my nose.
Fried rice made by pulling one string.
They say the market is a side dish.
I ate it without any expectations, but surprisingly it tasted good.
Muttering-
While chewing a grain of rice, I glanced at the exploration rate.
[0.2%]
‘I think I walked quite a bit.’
The first floor trial is not about exploring the entire desert.
Finding a staircase somewhere in the desert. If you are lucky, you may find it quickly.
‘You can’t leave it to chance.’
There is a 30-day supply of combat rations in subspace.
Although it is a significant amount.
Considering the current search speed, it was quite breathtaking.
‘I need to save some food.’
This level doesn’t even qualify as a crisis.
There were many worse things than this during Tuma’s time.
I chewed my rice slowly.
Eat slowly. This is a trick to reduce hunger.
When I ate about half of it while savoring the unique taste of msg.
I saw a person’s shadow in the distance.
‘Are they other challengers?’
There are three strangers in total.
One with a horn on the top of his head and one with an extra eye on his forehead,
And he is a person with abnormally long arms.
The three came straight towards me.
Even as he ate the combat rations with his mouth, his eyes were fixed on the stranger.
The distance was narrowed to about 50 meters.
I put down the combat rations I was eating and stood up.
“What’s going on?”
He glared at the strangers while holding a dark star that had been transformed into a sword in his hand.
The horned guy stepped forward.
“Hey. Let’s not be too harsh with fellow challengers.”
Both hands raised upward.
It is a gesture showing that there is no hostile intent.
“Tell me your purpose.”
“It’s no big deal. You just came over from floor 0, right?”
“That’s right.”
“Let’s make a deal. We sell information and you give us food.”
“How can you believe that?”
“There are a lot of doubts. If so, let’s solve the information first. Listen and see if you want to pay.”
“If you have it, wouldn’t it be okay to give it food then?”
I looked intently into the eyes of the horned guy.
Eyes without any emotion.
I don’t have the ability to determine the truth of a statement.
instead.
［Eyes of Truth］
I have the skill to know what these guys are doing.
‘Ohh. These guys…
That’s fun.
I put a smile on my face and put away the knife.
“Okay. Let’s hear the story.”
The name of the one with horns is Ain.
Three eyes are Zwei.
The guy with long arms introduced himself under the name Dry.
“My name is Jeon Min-cheol.”
I answered roughly.
There is no need to remember the name.
The three strangers and I rested our butts on the sandy floor.
The horned guy opened his mouth.
“While we were wandering around the first floor, we fell in love and ended up being together. The period of time we participated in the ordeal was…
“Okay. Let’s get to the point.”
“You have an impatient personality. Do you know how to pass this ordeal?”
“I need to find a way up to the second floor.”
“Then it would be quick. We
“I know the passage to the second floor.”
“Then why don’t you go up?”
“There’s a reason for everything. Wouldn’t you rather go up to the next floor?”
The horned guy was fiddling with his horns.
Hwiik.
He threw me a bottle of bottled water.
“Hehe. You’re a sensible friend. Do you know anything about the functions of the quest window?”
“I don’t know.”
“You’re a total beginner. Just think of the quest window and say map.”
“map.”
Sigh!
A map unfolded above the hologram window.
“If you look there, all the areas you have visited so far will be revealed.”
It’s just as the horned guy said.
Just as the view is illuminated by units in a strategy game, all the paths I took were marked.
“Really.”
“Kuk. You may not be able to see much, but we are different.”
The horned guy briefly showed me a map.
Unlike me, most of the first floor of the tower was brightly lit.
“I asked you earlier why you didn’t come up?”
“It did.”
“It’s because of the side quest.”
The horned guy explained the subquest.
Move on to the next level of the Tower’s Trial
This is the ‘main quest’ for this.
In addition to the main quest, there are sub-quests that you can choose whether to challenge or not.
“The three of us are carrying out that sub-quest.”
“So… 1st floor… stay…
Samnuni spoke slowly.
It’s not that I couldn’t speak, it was that my tongue was dull.
I nodded.
“Under those conditions, I can understand it.”
“Food and stairs to the second floor.
go.”
“Not a bad offer.”
“Then I’ll hand over the map information.”
The horned guy got up from his seat and walked towards me with long strides.
10 meters, 5 meters.
The distance gets closer quickly.
The guy who came close held out his hand as if to shake hands.
I grabbed his hand without hesitation.
“Thank you for your cooperation.”
“Thank you. I’m more thankful for this, Mr. Deakran.”
“you you……
Taking advantage of the ‘horned guy’ being surprised.
［Dark Star – long sword］
I held the Dark Star with my free left hand.
“What do you say my name!”
My brother. There is a skill called Eye of Truth.
‘Where are you coming from with a fake name?’
It’s a waste of time to talk.
He swung the knife he was holding in reverse.
[Use the Hwahwa Dando technique.]
[Consumes 3.5 Chaos.]
I put all my strength into it and stabbed the defenseless horned guy in the back of the neck.
“Kuh huh!”
Dikran, the horned bastard, tilted his body and retreated from the unexpected attack.
all.
I didn’t let him just leave.
He used the Seongcheon Jogye Gong and at the same time surrounded his body with sacred flame.
Stats that increase rapidly.
Using force, he broke Dikran’s posture and inserted the Dark Star into his vital spot.
“Keuuuuu……
The horned guy couldn’t even resist and fell down.
The two colleagues behind me quickly left their seats.
I woke up.
” No ◎su “

“What are you doing? What are you doing?
“It was reversed.”
Uh, wow! – sun
“To commit fraud, you need to smell the blood on your body.
“Why don’t you erase me?”
Samnyun’s eyes widened.
“The smell of blood]… Something like that… on my body.
…… I didn’t know… at all.”
of course.
It’s a lie.
There was one more reason I realized their intentions besides their names.
