of Side Story Episode 1
and came out.
Many people came from all over the world to see me.
Not only the broadcasting station but also all kinds of guilds called my name.
“It’s something I imagined before I was called to the tower, but now that it’s actually happening, it’s annoying.”
“Yes.”
Even if it was good, it lasts for a day or two, and it’s a pain in the ass.
Maybe it was because I was climbing the tower that I became indifferent to this situation.
At that time, I was an ordinary person with nothing, but not now.
Attention from large guild media, etc. It felt meaningless.
perhaps.
‘It may be because destruction is still in progress.’
It’s good to be recognized as a hunter, but it’s only meaningful if you overcome destruction.
I met people I had met at the tower for a few days.
We had a lot to talk about as we went through a hard time together, but although we all felt regretful that we couldn’t be gone for a long time, we quickly left.
“Everyone looked busy.”
“Yes.”
Whatever it was in the past, there are few places now that are called hunter powerhouses.
Korea, responsible for the Asian region.
This is natural since most high-ranking hunters, as well as allied personnel, are concentrated in Korea.
The United States is the leader in the American continent.
There was a Big Star Guild.
“Hwamu-seon went to Australia. “I didn’t know that was your hometown.”
The smallest continent in the world.
Oceania is guarded by hwamu ships.
As the Hwamuseondo cataclysm occurred and he was forced to live in Korea and became a rookie, he would feel at ease returning to his hometown.
Next, representing Europe is the Fairy Club.
It might have been natural since they were all French nationals.
Okay up to this point.
Apart from important areas. Who is protecting other regions such as Africa and the Middle East?
The answer was simple.
‘Ophelia.’
Noble Knights, led by her, were visiting neglected areas and handling gates.
He lived his entire life as a savior and eventually climbed to the 99th floor.
Since other Noble Knight members have also risen high, they are the strongest among forces that are not in the form of guilds or alliances.
Nowadays she is called a real saint.
It may have been a tough daily life, but Ofelia’s expression was bright.
What can I say?
It was like Ophelia.
These things were interesting, but there was something else that was truly surprising.
“Five years have passed since you guys left?”
“uh. “I really thought you were hiding somewhere.”
The fact that it took me 5 years to clear the 100th floor and return to Earth.
At the time, I thought it was a fleeting moment, but it seems it wasn’t in reality.
I don’t know if it’s a natural phenomenon that occurs in the process of connecting dimensions or a side effect of choosing a new option.
“You don’t look any different after going through that.”
Even after 5 years, nothing has changed in appearance.
That’s why, when I first heard this story, I thought it was a group prank.
It was only after browsing the Internet that I was able to accept the truth.
Lickjjakki and Nyangpun look annoyed at my reaction.
“Heng. “Then, did you think I would have aged dramatically?”
“The higher the number of floors you climb, the slower you age. Of course, my beauty isn’t going anywhere.”
indeed.
If I think about it, there was a similar story before I climbed the tower.
It was a joke that arose because the leaders of large guilds maintained a youthful appearance compared to their age.
‘I never thought it was real.’
The first generation is like that, but it goes without saying that the members have reached the 99th floor.
The world was amazing.
At that time, hunters who reached the 60th floor were called S-class, but now the standards have changed as a large number of people have reached the highest level.
Up to the 10th floor, it was still classified as E class.
Class D is on the 20th floor.
Class C is on the 40th floor.
Class B is on the 60th floor.
Class A is on the 80th floor.
S class is from the 90th to the 98th floor.
The standard has risen sharply.
Among them, those who ascended to the 99th floor were classified separately.
“We are usually called by our nicknames.”
Strong people who surpass the general level.
Out of respect, they were called by their nicknames rather than their grades.
Unlike other 90th-floor units, the 99th floor is a place where concepts dominate.
I think they were separated because there was a difference between those who had experienced it and used its power and those who had not.
It is a symbolic number of floors, and if you add up all those who have climbed to the 99th floor, it is not that many.
“But overall, there is something to be said about it, so I gave it a T rating.”
T-rated.
Top. Tower.
Those who climbed to the top of the tower.
Equipment sucks.
Really surprising.
“lol. “There are very few people who can use a shop window outside.”
Nyangpun was still able to use the store window.
The qualifications he possesses as a merchant.
In addition, there is a deep relationship with the upper Hwajoguk led by Empress Geumcheon.
I am also a merchant and can open a shop window as there was a huge amount of confusion.
However, it was a bit different from Nyangfun’s store window.
Although the basic items were similar.
“Is this a list of related pages from the tower?”
“ok. “It’s difficult to use all the functions.”
There were different types of items on each one.
As it is a country of flowers and birds that covers almost all fields, there were various items regardless of grade, and in my case.
‘Is it Helldying Kitchen Hidden Garden Framberg?’
Products were concentrated here.
Food potion and elixir equipment.
no. one more.
“There are also homunculi.”
To be exact, it is a material needed to create a homunculus.
Is it because I have a stake in the revival project?
Whatever it is, it is impossible to make it.
That was only possible thanks to the wise man John Traylor and the homunculus Odelto’s assistant Zenetta.
It’s not bad.
Because I also have experience climbing towers and making magic engineering equipment.
Even if you don’t know about homunculi, you can make other equipment using other arcane gems.
Even Lilka came with it, so there will be more to come in the future.
“wait for a sec. “Then, can I use this to talk to the NPCs in the tower?”
I think we could exchange letters or something like that as a personal transaction.
“I already tried it and it didn’t work.”
This is a bit disappointing.
I understand. It’s as if the connection with the tower is lost when you go outside the tower.
I tapped my fingers lightly.
Let’s focus on reality for now.
No one is called to the tower anymore.
Therefore, developing existing hunters has become a global task, and there are two main reasons for this.
“Equipment and skills.”
“I can get a skill promotion ticket, so I think I can raise it to S rank.”
We are not encouraging low-level hunters to attack together with high-level hunters for no reason.
The strategy is a strategy, but it is also for the growth of low-level hunters.
There.
“If I make an elixir, the speed will increase.”
“Some are even researching magic based on their skills.”
Are you going to trace it back and find out how to use magic?
That’s an interesting idea too.
Knock knock. I tapped my fingers.
I know how it feels.
so.
“Let’s do field training today.”
I’ll have to see it for myself.
Because just hearing it verbally is not enough.
It’s not because I don’t want to be taught by Lick Jjakjak holding a stick and Nyang Pun who has shackles on my legs.
‘Honestly, I’m curious about what it’s like outside.’
Since I came straight to the hideout from the return party, I haven’t wandered around the streets since I returned.
Did he sense my feelings?
Ehyo. Nyangpun sighed and released the shackles.
“Grain. “It’s already been a while, so I need to get some air.”
“I should go with you too. “If you do something strange, I have to stop you.”
“Don’t you trust me? “There is no one as socially and morally mature as me.”
Why do I, who has a cool-headed mind, cause an accident?
He shrugged his shoulders, but Likjakjak was adamant.
“There is something you have done so far. This is not the top. Follow me. “This is not a tower!”
“No accidents!”
“The training is not yet complete. Tie it back! “I have to drink only water and watch videos for a week to come to my senses!”
“This guy! “He’s finally showing his true colors!”
“ah! do! sun! This is not a tower! “I don’t get into accidents!”
The two nodded and gathered their equipment.
Just like what you wore at the top.
“...Why are you going out like that?”
“Did you forget what you learned in class yesterday? Hunters have to show off that they are hunters. “To prepare for unexpected situations and reduce unnecessary friction.”
“Hurry up and put on the rainbow armor, you stupid bastard!”
It seems like common sense on Earth has deteriorated a lot over the past five years.
The time when the feline set was worn with a confused expression.
The hunter watch that Lick Jjak had saved rang.
Hunter-specific equipment with gate occurrence notification and community functions.
On the red screen.
“For level 4 gate type.”
An emergency signal was on the rise.
