“It’s obvious that the higher you climb the tower, the stronger monsters will pop out… ! We almost died once already! Me, I have no intention of climbing or anything!”
‘He looks like a gang member, so he’s very scared.’
I quietly watched the scene and made a brief observation.
However, regardless of my feelings, many of the people who had just passed through the portal and entered the first floor seemed to agree with the gang cosplay man’s opinion.
“I don’t want to be involved in anything dangerous anymore… ”
“Damn… I’ll never forget that eerie feeling when I was cut by a goblin’s dagger… ”
“Well, I heard you can make a wish when you reach the 100th floor… ! Then he can ask us all to return to where we came from!”
“That’s right!”
Murmur.
‘Maybe it’s because they are the same person, and the same transference, rather than an alien being like a fairy who is treated with respect. Do you think that person named Park Tae-moon will take care of the situation?’
It seemed like they still had no idea how far away from reality the tower space they had to adapt to from now on was.
Sure enough, our senior transfer students sitting in the stands of the stadium laughed at the noisy newbies.
“Oh my… This rider is a bit out of touch.”
“It will take me a while to get into social dramas.”
“I had high expectations because there were two juniors who achieved this feat, but were the rest all just chaff?”
“Hmm… Except for a few people, they will probably die soon.”
“Quiet!!!!”
“… … !”
‘Oh, is it Lion’s Roar?’
A loud shout that echoes throughout the stadium. It was the voice of Park Tae-moon, who was on the podium.
Perhaps because he shouted with magic, his voice filled the space even though the stadium had no ceiling.
After seeing that the people had become quiet, Park Tae-moon resumed the interrupted flow.
“Whether you like it or not, it doesn’t matter. You have already been transferred to the tower, and you must somehow conquer the 100th floor of the tower and figure out how to escape from there. is it so. It would be nice if the person who conquered the 100th floor made a wish to send us all back to where we came from as if nothing had happened.”
Park Tae-moon shook his head.
“But how would you have the shame to ask someone who has reached the top such a favor? While someone risked their life to reach the 100th floor, someone stayed on the lower level of the tower and did nothing but waste time pointlessly. If you are all adults, you would know. It makes no sense to ask someone to do what you want without getting anything in return. Even more so if it means forcing the other party to suffer a loss.”
“How can I lose… In the end, don’t all those who climb the tower want to escape from here… ?”
“It is a wish that God will grant whatever you wish for. I don’t know because you’ve only recently been transferred, but such a simple wish will naturally change as you climb the tower. If not, you can create a clan with like-minded people. Just like I and many others do. In the end, no matter which direction you want, the basic proposition that you have to climb the tower does not change.”
Someone muttered in a low voice, but Park Tae-moon did not miss it. Even though the distance was quite long, from what I heard, it seemed like he was also a capable person who had climbed quite a few towers. This probably means that the level is high and a lot of points have been invested in the abilities.
‘Maybe it’s an effect of the skill.’
Because you don’t know what that person’s job is or how they distributed their abilities.
“Also, among the tower exams, there are some that require more than one person. As the number of people who give up climbing and sit down on the lower floors increases, the burden on those taking the test on the upper floors increases, and a moment may come when it becomes impossible to even attempt the test.”
“… … .”
When the person who was first transferred to the tower, took the test, and was climbing towards the top said something like that, those who were dissatisfied were left speechless.
You have to climb at least one more floor to understand what a test is and how the tower works.
Even people who simply wanted to make a fuss could no longer show it as the stands were filled with people armed with deadly weapons.
“So, several clans, including Sunrise, agreed to provide the minimum amount of training needed for first-time transferees to survive in the tower. This stadium is also part of that. This place, located next to the village, was a plain where new immigrants appeared. And it has been proven to be somewhat effective as the number of people reaching the 10th floor and above has increased.”
‘oh… ‘You made this yourself?’
I thought it was a pretty well-made stadium, but it was surprising.
‘Then did you create the village yourself?’
-It is said that the village existed from the beginning. The first floor is also a world. Of course, there are also residents who lived there before.
‘Aside from the transferees, there are also NPC-like beings.’
As soon as I raised a question in my head, Maria, who memorized the entire original text, answered. It was a more satisfying assistant than the [Guidebook] function, as it provided answers automatically when questions arose.
“Hmm… Well, this isn’t an important situation right now, so let’s skip it for now. It is clear that you must have been tired after wandering around the forest for several days as soon as you were transferred to the starting floor, so let’s take a rest for a day and tell you the details separately.”
“A few days… ?”
“Was the test supposed to take that long to begin with? ?”
“We said the fairy changed the test… ! Because of that person… ! Heh… !”
“… It’s not good for the people who got hurt by the goblin, but I think it’s fortunate that I was able to get out of there quickly.”
“Hmm?”
Taemun Park heard people whispering and seemed to sense something strange. He pointed to the person standing closest and asked a question.
“Is there any problem?”
“Yes, four… ?! Me?”
“Yes. I think I have something to say.”
The man looked around in confusion for a moment, and when everyone he made eye contact avoided, he had no choice but to tell Park Tae-moon the truth.
“That… In fact, we didn’t even go into the forest. The test was about surviving the goblins who flocked to the clearing. It didn’t even take several days. Even including the fairy’s explanation, the portal opened in less than thirty minutes.”
“What?! Thirty minutes?”
“What does that mean… ”
“There is a guy who killed a fairy. If you kill a fairy, wouldn’t the portal automatically appear?”
“But he said he also caught the boss monster… You did that in 30 minutes?”
“To safely hunt in the forest on the starting floor, catching a goblin must have taken at least a day… ”
“There is nothing unexpected about this rider.”
Murmur.
The audience was once again engulfed in commotion.
‘Is this really that surprising?’
-It is not difficult for the master, but those people were transferred here as ordinary humans. It is natural that it takes much longer.
As Maria said that, she explained the layers of the test that appeared in the original work.
-Originally, it was a test that required you to wander through the forest and hunt monsters for several days. You need to procure food from the forest and build a shelter where you can rest. There is a lot to prepare for a person who has never even held a weapon to be successful in hunting. Kim Jae-yoon was not much different from the original. The difference is that he had a guide so the process was much easier.
‘Is it that much? The goblin didn’t look that strong.’
There were many people injured by goblins in the clearing, but that was because they were panicking. To be honest, in a serious one-on-one situation, it was a monster that even an adult woman could easily defeat. Weren’t we even provided with weapons?
-The fairy said you only need to catch one, but weak monsters like goblins have a habit of going in groups. Monsters that are strong enough to travel alone are not ones that a human who has just transferred to the tower can catch.
‘I see.’
It was a very interesting story. And it wasn’t a story that applied to me.
Park Tae-moon questioned the man with a stern expression. His tone of voice became as hard as his expression.
“… So, does that mean that passing the test, killing the fairy, and defeating the boss monster all happened in less than 30 minutes?”
“Bo, I don’t know what you mean about the boss monster… The rest is correct… ! So, honestly, I think it took less than ten minutes… ”
“You want me to believe that now?”
“Hiik… !”
