by fnovelpia◎︎ Move to the 5th floor residence.
◎︎ Consider the race and origin of the party leader. Enter the 5th floor city of Purdeltan.
◎︎ Entrance road – Purdeltan Gate.
Parbat!!
“Ugh. I can’t get used to the way I move.”
“Wow… .”
Wide cavity.
A dome surrounding the sky.
A huge cube rotating beneath it.
The training camp group arrived on the 5th floor.
This was right under the gate.
◎︎ Gate detection range.
◎︎ You can move floors.
If you glance up, you will see a cube of a slightly different shape than the gate seen in Edeline, constantly rotating in the air.
Fortunately, the gate here does not explode and kill people.
This is probably because there is no need to tear up space.
“Is this the 5th floor?”
“Is that a gate?… .”
“Other than that, it’s the same as the rest area?”
“No, it’s on a much smaller scale. And there’s a city outside the gated place.”
“Oh!? City?”
The dome is transparent.
Therefore, we could see a huge city built outside, and on one side of the dome there was a large door and a passage leading to the city.
As such, only the 5th floor has a unique dome that resembles a resting place in each city.
It is a rule that was established at some point.
To reduce the risk, a city was built near the gate to accept those who cleared the tutorial, and even gods moved around the 5th floor as a no-fighting zone, so there was not much risk.
If it had been on another floor, the city would have been looted and destroyed by a teleportation device called a gate.
“Sort them all.”
Chalosi skillfully led the cadets toward the only door.
“These are people who cleared it as a group. Purdeltan always welcomes new awakeners. If you have any questions, I can ask.”
There was a 6-star strongman standing at the door, and he seemed to be a guide for new awakeners.
“I will only accept your heart. Right now, we are the bus drivers for these kids.”
“I see. I hope you have a peaceful day.”
Bus driver.
This is a word often used in the tower.
It refers to those who the strong grab the weak by the collar and force them to clear the tutorial or break the ordeal in order to climb the floor.
Most people get on the bus by paying a large fee or with the help of connections.
Now go through the passage and enter the city.
“Challenge instructor! You’re a little late. We’ve already booked accommodations, so I’ll guide you.”
“Yes. Thank you.”
When I left the dome, I went up to the 5th floor and the instructor who was waiting guided me through the city.
Since you don’t know when the other group will arrive, it is customary to find a place to rest first and wait near the dome as a watchdog to guide the other group.
So the Chalosi group walked through the beautiful cityscape under the guidance of an instructor.
“Oooooh. There was a city like this in the tower!!”
“I think it’s much better than the imperial capital.”
“Empire? Wouldn’t this be much better? Most of the Tower City’s technology is higher than Edelin’s. That’s why there are many scholars who climb the tower to study.”
“So cool!! I don’t know where to put my eyes.”
“Gasp! There’s a human with horns.”
A commercialized magic carriage.
A carriage road separated from walking.
High-rise buildings with more than 5 floors.
A huge ship rising into the sky.
People from other worlds and different races.
It is certain that it is a city that has developed at least 100 years more than the Kingdom of Leonis. It was no wonder that the cadets were enthusiastic.
‘It’s exactly as the nigger said!! There is a city like this on the 5th floor. After all, the all-purpose dictionary black!’
Ronika seemed to like it as well and rubbed her cheeks.
Softly~
I thought, wagging my tail.
Tower 5th floor.
This place is a little special.
No, it is the safest area in the tower.
As I said, there is only one rule in the city that says you should never fight.
In the early days, many wars broke out because many powerful people slaughtered those who had just ascended from the tower, and the gods directly agreed to punish those who started the fight.
In other words, it is the only law that works.
Thanks to this, people who had just cleared the tutorial no longer died unexpectedly, and they were able to obtain various information from the city and climb the tower more safely.
The more this happened, the more the gods steadily created more apostles and powers.
It’s a mutually beneficial structure.
This is the origin of the 5th floor.
This is the setting that made it the safest place in the tower.
Also, interestingly, those who clear the tutorial have different starting cities depending on their race and origin.
So, this place is Purdeltan.
Although many other races travel around for exchanges, the city is mainly populated by humans who use swords and magic like Edelin.
That’s not all.
Tiring!
◎︎ You have entered the trial area.
◎︎ Live in Purdeltan for a day.
◎︎ A new ordeal is imposed.
◎︎ Wander outside the city for an hour.
◎︎ A new ordeal is imposed.
◎︎ Say hello to Purdeltan Lord’s Castle.
◎︎ A new ordeal is imposed.
◎︎ Offer 30p to Purdeldan’s patron, the deity ‘Golden Goblin Lord’.
◎︎ New… … .
… … .
Even the trials here are simple.
The Goddess imposes challenging trials to make arrangements or test the qualifications of an apostle, but this expedient method was to spread easy trials to help people climb the floors, and as the number of trials increased, they solidified into fixed trials.
This was to prevent fighting on the 5th floor.
thus.
There is no country.
There is no fighting.
All cities and settlements on the 5th floor are governed by representatives in the form of city-states.
You can think of the lord as the king.
Therefore, most lords were selected as capable people, and the cities developed according to their individual characteristics.
“It’s an ideal place.”
“It would be nice if Edeline had a city like this.”
So it cannot be imitated in Edeline.
A city like this can exist because there are overwhelming beings called gods, and developed civilization and technology are also possible because of its characteristics as a tower where capable beings gather.
No matter how many wizards and scholars learn the art, it cannot be easily implemented.
Individual capabilities simply increase.
“It would be perfect for training. Because everything is different.”
“Positive. The tower is full of unknown magic.”
How much will Ronica’s group grow?
The instructors led the cadets, who turned their heads here and there, and stopped at a large building.
All transactions at TOP are made public. Therefore, the instructor paid a public fee of 1,000p and received four spacious rooms.
There are 10 beds in each room.
After being assigned a room, I went out to the lobby.
“Attention! There is a group that hasn’t made it to the 5th floor yet, so they plan to stay here until then. When everyone gathers, we will divide the number of people into whether to descend or climb to the 10th floor.”
“Yes.”
“You can look around the city from now on. The city is safe, so don’t worry, but go in groups of two or more and don’t fight with people. If you get lost, use the route navigation signs on the street and try to get back before dinner. If you don’t come back, I can’t take responsibility. Do you understand?”
““Yes!!””
The cadets, as well as Ronica and Fiona, responded with sparkling eyes.
Anyway, there is a system to find nearby party members, so there is nothing to worry about.
Therefore, free time was given.
A city with developed civilization.
People of different races.
This is the place that cadets at the training center are curious about next to their skills. How surprising is it that some cadets applied for this place from the beginning.
“Let’s go!!”
Ta-da-da-da!!
The cadets, with their curiosity aroused, rushed out of the building.
“Shall we go too?”
“Positive!”
The same goes for Ronika and Fiona.
We took to the city streets together.
*
A one-eyed warrior dressed in Eastern garb.
A species of beastman that is occasionally seen.
A heterogeneous race with a lizard head.
An elf with pointy ears.
“Whoa~”
“Full of strange people!”
Purdeltan is a city of ordinary humans, but it is still a city of towers. There was bound to be quite a bit of people from different races and other worlds mixed in as well.
That’s why exclamations came out one after another.
In other words, they are being rude.
He was shaking his head and staring intently at the high-speed carriage passing by on the road.
A look full of curiosity.
I watched quietly.
Again, this is an unusual space.
Fighting is prohibited, and people from all over the world can interact, so it is a place where many people come down from high rises to rest.
In other words, you can gain great experience just by walking here.
Therefore, he pointed to an eastern warrior passing by on the roadside.
‘Disciple. That guy is a 7-star powerhouse.’
‘Oh! really? The outfit is unique~’
‘Detect the mana tangled in the author’s skin, not the clothes. As I said last time, you need to feel and raise your mana at all times.’
‘huh!!’
The disciple’s head turns back and forth.
Fiona also walked down the street and exclaimed, “Oh, wow.”
You’re really being rude… .
If it wasn’t a no-fight zone, I might have been kidnapped or caught up in something dangerous right away. Because the tower is that kind of place.
As I said, there are a lot of criminals in Tam.
If it weren’t for the 5th floor, it would be very dangerous.
Should I hire a guide instead? .
for a moment.
Currently, Ronica is separated from the group at the training center. There is no need to be a hwansu.
◎︎ Use hand drawing.
Pop!!
“Eh. Black guy?”
“… Because it’s just us here. Do you hate it?”
“No!! I like you so much.”
“Heh~ Fiona is good too. I want to touch your tail.”
Anyway, in the illusion of the two, I transformed into a human and walked together.
“… … … .”
Ronica quietly held my hand.
“Hehe~”
Fiona grabbed the tail.
I find it really funny too. In the past, I would have been so shocked that I would have kicked it out and retreated.
Has my pride disappeared?
Am I the one who became Yu Hae-jin?
no.
It’s not like that.
I can say this for sure.
It’s simply because I’ve become friends with these two. I won’t allow it to anyone else.
Then it doesn’t matter.
“If you want to eat or see a good place, feel free to look around. I just have to calculate the public value. There is no need to feel burdened.”
“You said public value is currency here, right? So how many black people are there?”
“Hmm… .”
I calculated for a moment.
My public value is over 9 million.
Because I climbed the tower alone without a party, I kept all the rewards to myself, and since I mostly climbed the tower without thinking, I didn’t have much to spend on it.
That’s how much was collected.
It is by no means a small amount.
It may seem like a small amount when you see that each abnormal condition candy sold on the system exchange costs 1,000p, but the reality is different.
Nicknamed ‘Hoguso’.
The system exchange only sells ripped-off items that only those in a hurry are looking for. Unless you are outside the tower, there are very few people who will buy it at a price that is several times higher.
This alone would be a great help to the kingdom, but in reality, it is much cheaper locally.
At least in a place like this, even if you only have 100,000 points, oh! The sound can be heard.
So there is no need for the disciple to worry.
“It’s a lot more than you think.”
“I have a lot of party members, so even if I kill a monster, I only get a few points… Maybe more than 10,000 points? No, if it’s more than you think, there are about 100,000 of them, right?”
“More than millions.”
“… Ugh!?”
“If you want, I can buy you a good weapon.
“Is the nigger that rich? Well, then can I buy what I really want?”
“It’s okay if it’s you.”
“Uhehe!!”
The disciple started walking, swinging his joined hands back and forth. On the other hand, Fiona followed along, holding her tail.
As soon as I spoke, I was given directions.
I’ve already decided where I’m going. I led the two of them and walked down a familiar street.
The place we arrived at was the blacksmith shop.
A place I have been indebted to several times in my past life.
The sign on the building said it was Stokes Workshop.
*
Kang!
Kang!!
Blacksmith Garret.
He tempered and hammered in a luxurious furnace outside the workshop building.
Garrett was not a great blacksmith, but he still went out and knocked on items, trying to attract people’s attention.
The effect he was aiming for was simple.
It can attract the attention of customers.
When you receive attention, you move harder.
‘If you hammer like that every day, won’t your skills improve?’
Of course, that was just hope.
There are plenty of excellent blacksmiths in the tower.
There weren’t many people watching this place. If it weren’t for the 5th floor where many people gather, they might have had to close down their business.
‘Whew. It would have been different if the teacher had been there… .’
His teacher, Stokes, was quite skilled. Although he could hardly be called a craftsman, he was not inferior to other blacksmiths.
But now, I am in charge of the workshop alone. It’s just continuing its legacy.
Because the teacher died without being able to survive his lifespan.
Sreuk-
Put an aura in the hammer.
Coat the weapon with a thin layer of mana using a magic furnace.
Kang!!
Kang!!!!
I made the weapon as I learned.
Will I be able to make a name for myself someday?
“It’s cool~”
Suddenly I heard a girl’s voice.
I quickly turned my gaze and looked. I saw two young girls and a male prisoner.
“Oh. Hello~”
“Children?… okay. Welcome.”
“Did you make all the items here by yourself?”
“Yes. Quality cannot be guaranteed.”
“Aha! Can I take a look around?”
The quote is visible.
Those who have just completed the tutorial. Those are also the people who received the bus. Of course, they would not have money to buy their own weapons.
That’s why I said it as if I were being generous.
“Tsk… I think I just finished the tutorial. If you want, I’ll give you even a failure.”
“Oh, no! We have money. It’s okay.”
“Hmm? Then take a look around.”
Did your pride get hurt?
rejected his request. Even if it was a failure, it would be of some use to them.
But there is no reason to worry.
I started hammering again.
“… Fiona. Stop touching your tail and pick something good.”
“Gasp. Buying something for me too?”
“There is enough room. Take your pick.”
“Thank you very much!!”
The group I came with also looked around at the weapons.
Didn’t pay any attention.
Soon, they will lose interest and fall out.
Meanwhile, a prisoner man approached me with a very happy face.
“I want to see better products other than these.”
“… … hmm?
I felt a little bad.
I felt ignored.
The things hanging here are masterpieces that were created with a lot of effort, but you want me to come up with something better? A guy like this who is nothing special can disparage-
[I want to see good products.]
“Hmph!!… Yes, yep. Please wait a moment”
What?
The survival instinct moved my body strongly.
This feeling. I’ve felt it before. I have once seen great beings speak like this when they visit the 5th floor.
In other words, the owner of the class!
It has to look good somehow.
It is said that this city is safe even for gods, but it is not good to be hated.
Maybe it’s something that could end your life.
So, he went into the workshop and brought back the item he thought was the best.
How many months did it take to make this sword?
He held out the sword to the man.
If this is the case-
“I said I definitely wanted to see good products.”
I was rejected right away.
“Ha, but this is the best thing I’ve ever made.”
The man chuckles and looks away.
“Isn’t there something better than that?”
“That’s… … .”
Oh, no.
Is it possible to detect items? His gaze remains inside the workshop.
I knew right away what I wanted.
A masterpiece left behind by the Master.
‘Did you come here knowing this!?… .’
A moment of concern.
Is it right to hand over that sword?
Actually, it’s ambiguous.
I was feeling guilty that I was letting it go to waste without selling it. It wouldn’t have been something made to rot in a place like this.
Wouldn’t it be okay if someone strong like this wrote it?
It’ll be a lot of money… .
Master.
sorry.
“… Please follow me.”
He said with a hard face.
The man was guided into the workshop.
“What? Where is the nigger going?”
“Me and me together!”
Naturally, girls follow along.
“The sword I’m going to show you now is an item that my teacher left behind.”
A long chest.
I opened the box where I kept it.
Thin sword body.
A sword of appropriate length.
The blade part painted green.
A beautiful sword body that looks sharp at a glance was revealed.
“Good.”
Okay.
The man raised a sword.
⊙︎ Storm blade.
It can blow the wind with the power of a spirit drawn by the fresh wind, and makes the user’s sword strikes sharper by cutting them with the wind.
– Carrying an Aura grants additional sharp wind power.
-Can blow wind.
Why?
The man smiled faintly.
