Stuck in The Tower

Side Story Episode 6:

Teacher Okto we met at the tower.

He was a special person even among disasters.

Although people often think of disaster as being one level lower than the fragments of chaos.

‘It’s probably stronger than any fragment of chaos.’

He was an ancient monster, but at the same time he was the mother of the beast people.

Even then, there is no guarantee that I would have caught it if I hadn’t taken shortcuts by betting and dealing with two-dimensional merchants.

You lost the bet, so now you’re no better than my slave.

How fortunate I am.

I was relieved to hear that this guy had appeared on Earth.

“At that time, I told you to clean up the disaster with other monsters.”

“Yes.”

I don’t know if I was doing well.

You can check that out.

-Too doo doo doo doo.

The loud sound of a helicopter flying.

Currently I am in Mongolia.

A half-abandoned land.

It is said that the nomads have long since disappeared and the survivors are living together in one place.

Although that is not where I am going.

Heading to the land of monsters between China and Russia.

According to Oh Ji-hyuk, it was last observed from this side.

“There it is.”

It wasn’t long before I felt his energy.

Some were connected through contracts and some were visible through the spirit world, so I was able to recognize them despite the distance.

“I’ll take care of it from here.”

“Good luck.”

I jumped out and said hello to the helicopter pilot.

The strong wind felt as you descend.

“Is it because there are no people? “The air is fine here too.”

It’s clear and clear.

“It looks like one or two gates are bursting because the mana is full.”

The mana contained within it is also dense.

There is no mana on Earth. It flowed in through that damn gate.

Well, it’s natural now.

The world we live in has changed even if we didn’t want it to.

-Quaaaaaang!

I exploded the fire bomb and got my bearings.

Although it is faster to spread your wings.

“It’s a shame we can’t explode as much as we want in Seoul.”

Is it because there is an explosion as a concept?

It’s refreshing to have an explosion to your heart’s content.

[The explosion of concepts is exciting!]

-Gooooh!

-Boo! Woooo!

The monsters crawling on the ground screamed in surprise due to the untimely binge drinking, but it was none of their business.

Rather than that.

“I think I’ve seen that before.”

“Yes.”

Deokchun nods his head at my words.

A place believed to be where Teacher Okto is.

I saw a familiar building.

It’s a strange story.

This is a land where no one lives.

There is no reason to have a building of that size, much less manage it.

The food is not of this world either.

-Taat.

I know what it is.

60th floor. Disaster section.

“Balloon Park.”

It’s still colorful.

[You must blow up a balloon to enter.]

[If you do not enter within 5 minutes, you will die]

The conditions are still the same.

When you blow up a balloon, part of your body goes into the balloon.

If you find your own balloon and pop it, you get your body back, and if you pop someone else’s, the body contained therein is destroyed.

Although it was a nasty rescue in many ways.

-Quaaaang!

“I am here! Pient! Ha ha ha ha ha! “It’s been a while.”

I confidently broke down the front door and went inside.

– Coo coo coo coo!

The enormous chaos within me.

[Concept: Ban-Gol laughs at the shrunken balloon.]

As long as Ban-Gol exists, the disaster-level rules can be ignored.

Pient, who was enjoying tea time with Teacher Okto at a cute table, is startled.

Is it an illusion that a face painted white becomes whiter?

Teacher Okto sighs slightly and shakes his head.

“How come you become rude every time I see you?”

“How have you been?”

-Squeak.

I naturally hugged the chair.

Pient, who was watching, hurriedly brings out the car.

Maybe it’s because something happened to me, but his actions are quick.

There might be something that bothers you.

“I told you to take care of those wandering around too.”

He pointed at Pient with his thumb.

Owner of Balloon Park. One of the undisputed disasters.

The guy is crying and hugging his hat tightly.

“Stop bullying the weak child. “If he was a problem, he would have been dealt with right away.”

“There are no people now, but it will be a problem later when the land is restored.”

-Flap flutter!

Pient waves his hands.

“The agreement has already been received. “This guy just wants to live quietly and peacefully.”

“What if someone comes in?”

“I said I would lock the door.”

“Hmm.”

It may be a monster without reason, but disaster has an ego.

Just look at me with the most innocent expression on your face.

“If Teacher Okto says so, it would be true. Of course, if you get caught in an accident, it’s over. know?”

Pient nods quickly and opens his sketchbook.

I looked at it because I wanted to know something.

The picture shows that if anyone enters the balloon park by mistake, they will kindly find the balloon that person has inflated.

This should be fine.

by the way.

“How are you?”

“As you can see. “I was deceived by some evil and conniving person and was working diligently and enjoying some free time.”

Are you turning it around?

As long as you do your job well, that’s fine.

Although it may be because of me, I am one of the few towers that is helpful to humanity.

“You’re doing great. “I came here for nothing else, but is there a high-grade gate here?”

“Yes. “There is one special gate.”

“There were a lot of monsters.”

Great. A level 8 gate is suitable for installing an obelisk.

I don’t think it’s even cleared yet.

“As it belongs to the tower, this body cannot enter the gate, so it is waiting.”

“Do you think it will explode soon?”

“A month at most.”

“Should we clean up the monsters before that? All you have to do is drop a few meteorites.”

“Uhm. “That’s not such a good idea.”

Teacher Okto, who had managed to cross his legs like a rabbit, rested his chin.

“The ecosystem here has already been completed. Everyone has their own area. “You know what happens if you touch it.”

“It means that the second and third waves will explode.”

I frowned.

Monsters are closer to beasts.

When a huge threat comes, the monster wave is accelerated by the monsters that are pushed in and choose to run away rather than fight.

This was Mongolia.

‘There will be repercussions on the Korean side as well.’

The monster running without direction will also head to Korea.

“And there are some annoying things mixed in as well.”

There are few things that would bother Teacher Okto.

“It’s not a fragment of chaos, is it?”

“It would be better if it were a fragment of low-level chaos. “Compared to this body, you are like dust.”

“disaster? “Is there at least a colony of Mestoka?”

Although it is not enough to be called a spirit creature, it is a disaster mestoca that causes colonies.

If a group fires star bursts, the damage will be significant.

Teacher Okto frowns.

“How dare you ignore me? “All we have to do is sweep away those bugs.”

“Then what is it?”

“human.”

There was unexpected news.

A land lost to humanity after repeated retreats.

On a land full of monsters.

“There is a village of humans. It’s really annoying. “If you touch them wrongly, they will die too.”

People live.

Amazing survivability.

perhaps.

‘Possibility.’

I didn’t even know if there was a possibility of people living in this damn world.

then.

“Let’s wipe out the monsters!”

“Where did you hear me? “Crazy guy.”

-Nod.

This bastard?

As I glared at him with a light in his eyes, Pient slowly stood up, knelt down, and raised his arms.

“Tsk tsk. No matter how you look at it, you urgently need character education.”

“shut up. “Why is it so annoying that everyone who sees me can’t teach me?”

Is there anyone with personality like me?

Ultimately, this is something that has to be done.

It’s great to survive among the monsters, but in the end, you have to clear the gate and build the obelisk.

In the process, a group of monsters must be cleaned out, so a mass exodus inevitably begins.

‘A week for the government to scrape together resources. Even if you make one obelisk quickly, it takes two weeks. Even if it’s too much, it’ll probably take more than a week.’

I tapped my fingers.

3 weeks. If you wait until the special gate opens, it will take a month.

We need to speed up.

“I’m leaving now. “I will come back soon.”

“Sure. I won’t go out to meet you. “I think I need to calm this guy down.”

“When I come, I will also bring distant descendants, so look forward to it.”

“My descendants? “Is it possible?”

I left Teacher Okto, who was tilting his head, behind me and went outside.

From clearing the gate to installing the obelisk.

‘I’ll finish it within this week.’

* * *

What should we do if time is short but preparation is lacking?

The method is simple.

All you have to do is add more manpower or resources.

I chose the easiest method.

“No way, you bastard! Ahhhhh!”

seizure.

No. It’s borrowing.

“ah. “I’ll use it all up and give it back to you.”

“I’m not giving it back!”

“How did know. But you suck. “There’s a lot of talk about saving the world.”

Materials for making an obelisk.

The key items were already obtained from Nyangfun’s store window, and some were replaced with those that Lilka had.

What was left were things that weren’t incredibly valuable, but were needed in large quantities.

I found the black market.

It happened in the past too. However, now the scale has become much larger.

There are so many people who came here because they had no place to live.

I clicked my tongue as I watched the merchant hanging out, persistently holding on to his trouser legs.

“no way. okay. This was too much. “Take at least one gold bar.”

“Oooooh! “I trusted our customers!”

These guys are doing things that are illegal anyway.

Nyangfun gave me a gold nugget made from a golden mace.

It’ll probably be golden for a few days.

The merchant, smiling brightly, bows his head.

I roughly waved my hand and walked away.

There were black markets all over the country, and there were three in Seoul.

Now, it may have appeared in places I don’t know.

Still, this place is quite popular.

“It’s been a while since Cheonggyecheon Stream.”

Cheonggyecheon.

There are illegal buildings lined up along the river.

You can get quite a few things here.

It might cost some money, though.

It’s quite large up to this point, but it’s actually underground.

‘I never thought that running errands when I was a porter would help me in this way.’

Hunter.

There is also a separate space used by people who do dirty and illegal things.

I found out while running an errand for the guys who threw me to the Hound before I was invited to the Tower.

When I think about it now, I should have noticed then and ran away.

As a result, I am where I am now, so it is true that my life story is Saeongjima.

Although half of the stores exposed to the outside were robbed, supplies were still insufficient.

Since each merchant runs the business, there is a limit to the items they have in stock.

So, we must meet the king of Cheonggyecheon.

If you go through him, it won’t be a problem to receive all the goods that flow here.

the problem is.

“I still don’t know if he is the king of this place.”

Since quite a bit of time has passed, it is possible that the organization itself has changed.

It doesn’t matter though.

I guess I can just hit the guy who owns it now.

-Trudge.

I went into the alley.

As expected, there are people guarding the alley.

These guys are smoking cigarettes and blatantly showing off their cold weapons.

Most of them are E-level, but there are D-level ones as well.

Next to it is C grade.

“Only authorized people can enter here?”

“This is my first time seeing your face. “Whose errand are you here to run?”

I took a step forward.

Weapons that are drawn at the same time.

“Put your weapons away. “If you don’t want to get lost.”

Those who were looking at each other with their eyes wide open burst into laughter.

“Ha ha ha ha ha! “Look at your spirit!”

“Hey. “There are still people like this left in Cheonggyecheon.”

“Whew. after. I laughed for the first time in a while. You passed. “I’ll save you, so get away from me.”

oh. Still, I’m not trying to kill you.

Then I guess I should just move on.

Because it is right to return favors with favors.

[Camera (S) Lv.MAX]

Snap.

Take pictures of their faces.

[Road of the Loner (S) Lv.MAX]

Passed through stealth.

They looked around in horror, perhaps because someone had disappeared before their eyes, but I had already passed by.

Nothing much happened after that.

Defeat the king of Cheonggyecheon underground.

“They tried to hit me. Sobbing. “It was so scary.”

“These crazy people! “I will scold you! Please make sure to do it!”

It was braided.

The king of Cheonggyecheon, whose eyelids turned black after being hit by me, jumped to the ground himself.
