Stuck in The Tower

Episode 821: Clear the 100th floor.

How to return to my world without becoming a fragment of chaos or a part of the tower.

Just think about it simply.

“You can do neither.”

Instead, you pay the price.

The choices changed, but one proposition remained clear.

I need to cut away the chaos that has built up in my world.

Transcendence is just a process for that.

[Your choice is a companion.]

[We take on the world’s karma together in proportion to the chaos we possess!]

[Karma Step 1]

-Pajijijijik!

“Khaaaaaak!”

A thunderbolt like heavenly punishment strikes my body.

Like a shooting star.

I fell from the 100th floor and am falling through space to Earth.

I don’t know if it’s a real universe or not.

It just feels that way.

The images are connected and the appearance of the Earth is visible.

What the tower showed me was an image full of chaos and something I had to deal with.

‘About 10%.’

If I had become part of the tower, half of the chaos would have been resolved, but I chose another option.

Rather, it went well.

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t handle half the chaos.

-The Quagga Gaga River!

A powerful thunderbolt struck my brain.

A mind-blowing shock!

[Mental Protection (SSS) Lv.MAX]

The spirit that seemed to be broken comes back.

All kinds of passive skills were activated to protect the body.

[The SSS-level power, the unyielding swordsman, is flashing!]

[The SSS-level power, the eye that watches the stars, predicts the path!]

-Kaaaaaang!

I struck down the thunderbolt flying at me with the Chaos Sword.

The form may be lightning, but in the end, isn’t it chaos?

The chaos accumulated in the world is just flying towards me.

If you endure it, shake it off, and cut it down, it will eventually disperse.

-Tingling.

I used all my skills to ward off the lightning, but it was impossible to completely shake it off.

The chaos that persistently penetrated through the sword ate away at the body.

[Conceptual shame cries out to stop clinging to him.]

[Conceptual rebelliousness disapproves of aeons.]

[It is said that conceptual explosion is enough to push out chaos.]

-Gugugugugung.

The brain power that reaches into the soul is driven out as a concept.

The three concepts resonated and created a strong repulsive force.

The soul, which was firmly established, did not accept any other power.

[Chaos is granted.]

-Uuuuuuung!

Handling karma has only just begun.

[Karma Stage 2]

A huge amount of chaos is erupting, as if it was just a joke up until now.

I opened my mouth wide in shock that took my breath away, but not even a scream came out.

I could feel it.

‘If eaten, it becomes a piece of chaos.’

The work I am doing is similar to the creation of chaotic fragments.

The difference is that they directly accepted chaos and I was fighting back.

I’ve come this far, but I can’t let this happen to me.

“Ugh!”

The chaos that unfolds through countless changes.

I was able to block them with firebomb and other skills and swordsmanship, but I can’t stop everything from enveloping my entire surroundings.

Another method is needed.

[Love and Peace (SSS) Lv.MAX]

It provided minimal protection with divine power and led to the chaos that seeped inside.

The power to twist and deny the rules.

It wasn’t easy to move the chaos running wild.

“I’m already sick of it!”

[Demonization (SSS) Lv.9]

[Absolute Domain (SSS) Lv.9]

I have already reached the level of skill by dealing with the fragments of disaster and chaos I encountered while climbing the tower.

Even if it is a force that comes from outside, if you wield it with strong will.

-Quaaaaaang!

According to my will, it spewed out along the sword.

A way to throw myself out there as a medium.

The sword strike that passes through the meteor shower disturbs the black universe.

Stars that lost their light for a moment blink.

I vomited blood as I looked at the chaos dispersing into the black darkness.

“Cough!”

The price of the rough, swirling force scraping away at the body and soul.

Even so, you can’t stop it.

The flow is accelerating!

He repeatedly swung his sword, drawing the optimal movement line, as if dancing a sword dance.

[Fire (S) Lv.MAX]

I set my whole body on fire.

[The incarnation of fire and dance shakes its body!]

[The Dancing Master’s crown (B) is excited!]

If you consider sword dance, it is a dance.

I danced with myself as a torch.

Collapse and recovery were repeated.

-Clud-clack-clack.

I felt a change taking place from within.

What physical changes do you experience when you become a strange body?

It’s similar but different.

I feel like I’m changing into a more compact form that suits me.

I felt like all the energy was flowing out and being created, and my existence became stronger.

I wanted to control myself even more because of the ecstatic sensation, but I couldn’t afford it.

‘If it gets even slightly disturbed, it’s over.’

A situation of maintaining a delicate balance.

There is no way I can afford to think about anything else.

[Karma Level 3]

“Khaaaaaaaa!”

The darkness prevalent in the universe seems to be engulfing me.

The falling speed accelerates, and the galaxy now becomes a beam of light and moves away.

I could see a tower growing smaller in the distance.

It looks exactly like the tower depicted on the worshipers’ certification plaque.

Did Bedrock Vaaluze also use that symbol because he saw this scene?

At least that’s for sure.

‘It’s not the real universe.’

There’s no way you’d feel this much pressure just because the speed increased in a vacuum.

What would happen if a human meteorite turned out to be like this?

The armor breaks into pieces and the bones and flesh become misaligned.

It seems that the physical resistance and spiritual resistance are subtly distorted, causing the body and soul to separate.

The body and soul hold on to each other more intensely to avoid falling apart.

[The luck stat is flashing!]

The impulse that passes by with him.

[We are opening the capital-free benefits of SSS-level power level merchants!]

I used the power I acquired while inheriting Lilka.

Strictly speaking, where I am is a dimensional gap.

I felt something approaching against the flow of light.

I was curious. The power to periodically obtain random boxes.

Who is giving this to?

The answer was simple.

[The title-level merchant looks at the industry.]

“This and that. “You can see everything from here.”

Antennae on top of the head.

A dimension merchant encountered when using the previous dimension store.

“Karka.”

Behind the sparkling carriage, something dark is screaming.

Is this what a dimensional merchant looks like walking around?

He looked at me with curious eyes, and then rummaged through the screaming black clouds.

Each time, the soul-gnawing screams got louder, but the guy seemed unharmed.

“You see a precious scene today. Let’s see.”

-Bwaggeuk.

He handed me a dimensional random box along with the sound of something being pulled out.

“I never would have thought that if Lilka did something with her shares at the top of the dimension, it was sponsorship. “I paid some attention.”

The guy who frowns and winks leisurely leads his carriage and disappears.

Was Rilka’s authority maintained in this way?

It was surprising, but now is not the time to worry about it.

Embodied chaos is coming.

Without hesitation, I threw in the 3D random box.

[Karma Stage 4]

-Gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

I felt the shock of the world changing.

[Multiple Dimensional Amulet]

– Sends attacks towards the target into multiple dimensions.

My whole body is split apart with a strange sensation.

I feel like my existence overlaps many layers.

Numerous world lines create parallel universes and disperse the karma I have to bear.

This is like.

‘A mid-rise or lower tower!’

It was like a tower that split into countless pieces to match the climbers climbing up it.

The division that made it difficult for even Alios to maintain his sense of self.

This was a phenomenon experienced by NPCs who could only protect themselves by paying a price.

[The eyes that are watching the SSS-level power star look at an unknown star.]

The sight turns inward.

Not someone else.

Just myself.

The overlapping and enlarged souls become stronger and surpass the boundaries of transcendence.

Bedrock Vaaluze.

How did he have such a big soul?

There was also the life lived and the use of ancient secret arts.

‘My soul grew as I experienced transcendence.’

-Wooow!

A small bird that breathes fire.

My symbol grows in size and wraps its wings around me.

Three images came to mind as my soul, not my body, protected me.

Fire sword eyes.

The shape that proves my concept orbits and withstands the pressure of external forces.

The speed at which it is falling is already impossible to follow with the eyes.

-Passsss.

The amulet given by the dimension merchant burns up.

Before I knew it, the palm-sized amulet had completely crumbled, leaving only a single finger.

[The final karma is handed down.]

[Karma Stage 5]

A force as powerful as all the karma I have experienced so far combined shattered the space and moved with me.

-Blah blah blah!

-Kugugugugugugung!

[The road to the main world opens!]

Tremendous pressure and law-breaking power have opened the road to my world!

A passage for those who reached the 100th floor to return to their own world.

It was the final process in which the fragments of chaos were created.

‘…It breaks!’

The body along with the soul began to turn into powder.

The process of dividing into particles and reassembling them.

The stage in which the personality of the chaotic fragments is re-established and a unique body is formed.

-Push!

Blood poured from all over my body.

It is a level of power that humans cannot withstand in the first place.

Why are there only two options given to those who reach the top of the tower?

Because there is no other way.

It was too great an ordeal for a mere being living in this world to endure.

Top also knew that fact, so he would have respected my choice without hesitation.

but.

“Geussss!”

[Deokchun (chaos frog) devours chaos!]

I have Deokchun, a spirit creature connected to my soul.

A being born of chaos from birth.

There wasn’t much change after reaching SS level, but it was different now.

I swallowed the karma accumulated by the world and shared the burden I had to go through.

[The awakening of the spirit takes place!]

[You will receive the qualifications of a divine beast!]

-Cow!

Acquire spiritual power and reach the path to transcendence!

With that, the familiar sight of Earth approached right in front of us.

Arrive.

I finally get out of the damn tower and settle into my own world.

-Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

Are you acknowledging that all your karma has been completed?

As the dimensional crack that had been forcibly opened closed, the connection with the tower became blurred.

[Tower’s Seed – Hidden Quest Cleared!]

[Overcome the Wall of Transcendence!]

[Pet – Deokchun receives a portion of the status of a transcendent!]

[Reward is given!]

The message I had longed for so much came to mind.

[Clear the 100th floor!]

[May your future be filled with blessings!]

[I hope you escape destruction!]

[The beings you inherited will be given a new opportunity!]

It was the moment of clearing the tower.

“ah.”

At the same time, the pressure disappears.

After completing all the trials imposed by the tower, I regained my freedom.

What followed was the same as when I boarded another portal.

A warm yet floating feeling.

A blinding light enveloped my entire body, and eventually my legs touched the floor.

[We have reached the main world.]

I was in Korea.

A landscape unfolding as the light disappears.

It was a place I was familiar with.

A return destination that exists in each country.

A place where climbers return.

Return platform.

It is a place to welcome returning climbers and a place to meet those who went before.

-Waaaaaa!

A thunderous roar erupted.

How many people are gathered together?

The eyes of so many people were turned to me that I couldn’t even count them.

There were also people who caught my eye.

People I met at the tower.

Oh Ji-hyuk, Kim So-dam, Lee Sang-ok, Fluffy Lee Jun-seok, Easy Ki-il, Muscle Fairy Hwa Mu-seon….

The members who were together until the end and Noble Knight, including Smile Cap and Ophelia, who somehow looked younger.

Even others.

I thought it took a short time to get here, but maybe that wasn’t the case?

Nyangfun, where the coins would have been left, is also located here.

I don’t know why, but he is looking at me and gesticulating with his hands and feet, trying to tell me something.

Rather than that.

‘How much time has passed?’

I don’t know.

The axis of time may have been twisted as it moved through dimensions.

Still, I know one thing.

That I am back.

– Cheoeok!

He stretched out his fist towards the sky.

-Ooooooooo!

Cheers erupt again.

Union people wave a flag with the symbol of the Peqin Union.

I bit my lip, feeling somewhat touched.

-You crazy guy!

I could see a licker mingling in the crowd, pretending to slit his throat.

I’m not just swearing. It’s urgent.

From Nyangpun to Lickjjakki?

‘Is there something wrong?’

Lick Jjakjak’s emotions can be seen in the spirit world.

heaviness. unrest. It’s a pity. Pathetic.

Next, what can be seen in the direction of the guy’s eyes.

‘Lee Jun-seok?’

For some reason, it gives off an aura full of emotion and excitement.

Looking at Nyangfun nearby, he is embarrassed.

“Finally, the last climber has returned!”

Lee Jun-seok shouted in a loud voice.

Numerous names and nicknames come to mind on the electronic display board installed at the return stand.

As the names and nicknames flow by, there is not much left.

[List of Returnees to Korea]

[Number of Returnees (2976542/2976542)]

[Remaining Number of Persons]

-Cho Hyun-soo / Nickname: Evil Eye (unconfirmed)

-??? / Nickname: Petit Gongdue

The last returnee is me.

There are two people left on the list.

As a result, the last person to return was.

‘Petit Gondue!’

I felt dizzy, as if my blood was draining out all at once.

Cameras visible everywhere.

Without realizing it, I took a step back and heard the voice of someone I had forgotten for a while.

【Hmm. Finally got caught. Shame on you.】

Haiden signed a contract with me along with the succession.

This guy was supposed to come too.

This bastard. Could it be that you followed me because you wanted to see this scene, not because you were curious about my world?

Even though it was hidden, I could see that it had the same concept.

The guy’s mind is happy.

The moment when my fist suddenly gained strength.

“Wow! “Is this where Evileye lives?”

The guy I couldn’t even imagine stuck his head out.

Rich red tail.

High-pointed ears and short body.

“Lilka!”

“Ugh! “They harassed me as soon as I arrived!”

I hugged Lilka tightly.

I thought I would never see you again.

Didn’t it come out as a message?

As the heir to all of those I inherited, I gained a new opportunity by clearing the tower.

I thought I would never see other NPCs, including Lilka, again.

“How did you get here?”

“Hey. “I followed because I had no world to belong to.”

Lilka was an exception.

Lilka was exiled from the world she belonged to due to a disaster and lived as a dimensional merchant.

Ahem. Clearing his throat, he lifted Lilka, whose tail was wagging, and held it out forward.

That moment when everyone’s attention is focused.

“I, Evileye, am back with Petit Gongdu Lilka!”

“Eh?”

Gura shouted with all his might.

Let’s push the probability with skill.

[Fatal Pose (C) Lv.7]

[Concept of shame adds strength!]

I unleashed my skills with all my might.

“Gongdu! Gongdu! “Gongdu!”

“Waaaa! Gongdu!”

“Evileye is back!”

“Lilka was Gongdunim?”

“NPC is here! It must be real!”

On a stage where petit love and peace resonate in all directions.

I laughed as I saw the bald man giving a thumbs up and the licking cat.

Proclaiming that they have conquered the tower and returned.
