Chapter 230

# 230

230. After the ending (1)

The day after the clearing of the 50th floor was successfully completed.

A joint funeral was held for the heroes who died during the mission.

Even if it’s a funeral, there’s nothing special about it. Just put the belongings of the heroes in storage and have a little time to mourn. However, because the size of the storage was limited, some low-level heroes could not even keep their belongings.

“It’s really sudden.”

The top floor of the storage room.

This was a place specially prepared by Amkena for high-ranking combatants.

Edith’s seat was right next to the place where Iolka’s mortuary tablet was kept on the left side of the top corner display case.

“I never imagined Edith would go like this.”

Jenna let out a deep sigh.

There were few of Edith’s personal belongings in the quarters.

At most, all the amber pendants brought when summoned.

‘...Sorry.’

Edith’s death was a huge loss to the waiting room’s power.

If the airship is broken, just make a new one. If you lose low-level heroes, you can fill the gap by picking them up again and raising them. However, it was not easy to find a leader with a lot of experience to lead the party.

Edith was more popular than I was in the waiting room, had a flexible mindset, and had a lot of experience with the mission.

‘...’

Early that morning.

Before me and Jenna arrived, dozens of heroes, including members of the 2nd party, had visited this place.

‘Should I have been forced to save it?’

Filling her void will not be easy.

It wasn’t that there were no replacements, but they were still one or two things short of being like Edith.

I shook my head.

It was a thing of the past anyway.

‘These are the guys you’ll never see again.’

Iolka and Edith too.

And other heroes who will die in the future.

Even if I clear all the missions and Taonier regenerates, I won’t be here by then.

We will never see each other face to face.

‘But...’

I took a deep breath.

One side of my chest felt heavy as if it had been crushed by a stone.

The death of a comrade he fought with was not something he had experienced once or twice, but he could never get used to this feeling.

Especially if you have a deep relationship.

‘A character in a game.’

On my left hand was a ring made of amber.

It’s not something I prepared for.

It was Amkena’s purchase from the gift shop for Edith.

‘It’s amazing.’

I looked up.

It was early in the morning, so Amkena was disconnected.

That guy was also very different.

If you were a tolerable user, you would have beaten the game right away.

However, Amkenna did not give up and continued to play.

And that’s not all.

How many users mourn the death of a piece of data in the game?

‘I don’t know.’

I don’t know what kind of person he is.

I’ll have to look for it when I get back to Earth.

I placed the amber ring inside Edith’s keepsake.

“Let’s go back.”

I said to Jenna, who was making a gloomy expression beside me.

Jenna silently nodded and turned her back.

“hey.”

“yes?”

“You don’t die.”

Jenna opened her eyes wide in surprise for a moment and smiled.

“Of course, who am I?”

“Practice it properly. Train harder, and don’t be vigilant if the enemy looks weak. It’s only a matter of time for you and me to hook up.”

“Brother, don’t let your guard down. I won’t die until the end.”

“It’s pointless to talk back.”

I smiled and opened the door to the plaza.

You can’t be fooling around here.

Although he had broken through the 50th floor, which was a huge mountain, there was still a mountain of work to do.

About a week after that, Amkena underwent a major overhaul.

Amkena repaired damaged airships and gave heroes a break after a fierce battle. They began searching for replacements for key combat members killed in battle.

But I had no choice but to take a break.

When I tried to do my work in the waiting room, Nerissa would appear out of nowhere and often mistreat me, telling me to take a break when I was resting. He said that he was left out of the raid team for this time, but he must have something to say.

Even so, I have no intention of making a joke.

I think it’s a virtual account created by a game company.

Who puts endings in mobile games these days?

If you want to get money from pigs and dogs, you have to go all the way without an ending.

I think there will be a big event in Mobi soon.

└[Lv.15] Goodbye I’ll give it away

/ Agree 376 Disagree 227

You write a lot of novels. Hahaha

‘...that’s shit.’

I closed the internet window.

The comment section was a mess with various opinions mixed together.

However, one thing is clear.

‘The number one being was exposed to the public.’

From 1st to 4th in the rankings of Pick Me Up, it was almost never revealed among users.

However, this time, as El Cid made a name for himself as a clear user, he was deeply imprinted among the masters.

It remains to be seen what effect this will have.

‘Come to think of it...’

He didn’t know the purpose of invading the martial arts yet.

Yurnet said he would find out about El Cid’s identity until I reached the 50th floor.

It’s been a long time since I haven’t been in touch.

After making sure no one was around, I turned the ring on my left hand.

Jijik. The ring glowed black, and a noise rang in my head.

[Master, long time no see.]

Yurnet’s voice.

As if I had been waiting, the answer came right away.

[Seeing that you contacted me safely like this, you’ve cleared the 50th floor. Congratulations.]

“Rather than that, did you get the results of the survey on the number 1 ranking?”

[To see and request without saying hello. It’s disappointing.]

Cool.

I coughed.

“sorry.”

[Just kidding.]

There was a light laugh.

[The investigation hasn’t been completely finished yet, but I’ve been able to find out some of the purpose of #1.] As expected,

he’s competent.

Yurnet continued.

[The reason El Cid invaded Muryeon is not a personal grudge.]

“Then?”

[That’s...]

Yurnet’s answer didn’t come out.

[I’m sorry, but could you wait a few days? It’s a bit confusing, so I’d like to clear things up.]

“...Do that.”

[Thank you, Master.]

Communication with Yurnet was cut off.

I put my hand on my chin.

It seems that the purpose of winning first place was unexpected by Yunet.

Her face was drawn as she was contemplating something over there.

I can’t help it.

It’s not like I’m forced to tell you.

I decided to take some time.

After erasing El Cid from my head, I resumed surfing the web.

I closed the news related to ‘First Clear’ and searched for other news about Pick Me Up.

A thread about frequent server downs lately.

Information on hot prospects emerging these days. ... this was me

And finally, the news of the event that will be patched in a few days.

‘event?’

It hasn’t been long since the Raid Festa ended.

I touched the corresponding news.

[Season 8. World Raid]

[Coming Soon!]

I entered the official cafe’s patch note board.

The same notification popped up there as well.

It was news of the opening of a new World Raid.

I was determined to participate next season as a member of Taoneer.

Because the rewards for the main event, the raid, are much better than the sports day in Dimensional City.

But this is way too fast.

As if it was made hastily.

The opening date of the

‘...’ raid is early next week.

This is also faster than you think.

‘Tell, what’s your intention?’
