Tower – 25th floor (1)
As for the game, ‘103rd Tower’, as the title suggests, climbing to the 103rd tower is the final content. The ultimate goal is to reach the 100th floor where the ‘103rd top owner’ resides while progressing through the story activated according to the conditions.
Basically, up to the 50th floor, which is out of the risk of erosion, is called a safe zone, but that is only a relative part. Practically, the number of floors most people live on is extremely limited, and danger lurks on other floors.
It is because of the simple reason that it is difficult to cover the entire area where the monsters constantly respawn, in addition to the random environment that is not connected to the floor below.
Of course, there were villages at the entrance of any floor, so they could rest and take a break, but they could not be protected near the stair area to go to the next floor.
The difficulty of the game is enough to progress up to the 50th floor with any specs. Even if there was a conflict with scenario bosses such as ‘Ron Ahart’, there were many friendly forces that could somehow overcome it.
The problem arises from the 51st floor. This is the time when the attack difficulty increases exponentially.
Even if the hero characters drive out erosion by pioneering up to the 60th floor on average, as I said before, they cannot cover all areas.
If you leave the narrow safe zone where the purification has been performed, strong demons like the outside Nether will start appearing. Naturally, the quest for progress demanded to catch them.
“Shake. How are you going to catch this?”
I screamed as my eyes reddened again. Failed to attack the named boss and only retry is already the 10th. All the characters with the greatest power brought as companions also died.
It’s not a control issue at all. It was a pure spec issue with a large gap that could not be caught.
“How are you going to wake up? Is there any other way?”
With the funds collected while running the sub-quests as much as possible, he also took care of the relic-class equipment, and failed even as an elite among the elites who had accumulated final specifications and favorable feelings.
I can’t strengthen it any more than this, so what is the way? No matter how you look at it, it’s a precision corporation, but I don’t think it’s made a boss that can’t be attacked…
‘Heh. I’ll have to reload it before I see the credits.’
The game forces you to watch the end credits until you die when you think of the ending credits. It’s like you can’t even open the menu window. tt Can’t this just be patched?
“ah. late.”
It takes about 5 minutes for the credits to finish. I’ll just force it off and do it later…
Then I saw a different phrase instead of [GAME OVER] I expected.
[A new route has been unlocked.]
It’s not a game over that comes to mind because he died, but that a new route has been unlocked. What this meant was that everything I had died so far was part of the story’s progression.
‘no. Fuck….’
Somehow I thought it was too difficult, but it was like this. Then you just loaded it all the way? I don’t know how much time I wasted on shoveling.
Whoo! On the screen that lit up again, I was looking at the blue sky. It was clear that this familiar background had returned to the area on the 25th floor.
“Noah. Are you out of your mind?!”
Arwell’s weeping voice could be heard from the bedside. I got up and looked at the newly emerging system.
[Achievement Achievement!]
[74 – Achieved “Time flies even if you die”.]
[- First ‘respawn’ experience in the tower]
The upper UI indicated that ’30’ more days had passed in the game. It seems to be the time it took to respawn. However, the game seemed to be difficult to progress beyond this anyway.
‘… they are all dead.’
Because I was the only one who was revived.
Other colleagues, such as Oh Yun-ha and Astiel Gran, displayed in the party window, had their eyes painted with a rough textured red.
Early in the morning after the sports festival.
Aiden got up early and hummed and packed his things. He had a schedule of 1 night and 2 days anyway, so it was enough to keep it simple. I was tired because the sports festival was held until yesterday, but that’s it, you should go up to the tower and rest.
‘I’m glad I got exotrophy.’
Originally, permission was not given due to time the day before, but power makes it possible.
Aiden began to put on the uniforms neatly arranged on the bed. Even if he wants to go out in plain clothes in the first place, unless he goes out, that is a violation of the rules.
It was time to get out as I gently brushed away her silver hair. It’s summer, so it’s already dawning outside her window.
Aiden, who was ready, dragged his suitcase and diligently walked towards the entrance of the Yoosung Academy. In the old days, it was abnormal enough to take a break on the way, but this problem was also solved thanks to the surge.
“oh.”
As I walked without stopping, I soon saw a friendly face standing around the entrance with my hands in my pockets.
“Mr. Jihan!”
Aiden was about to run away, waving his hand, smiling brightly from afar. Then he saw someone and stopped his steps.
For some reason, there were other familiar people standing around. They heard Aiden’s voice and turned their heads.
“Oh, Ellen. I’m here?”
It was Noah Park and Rian Arwell.
Aiden, who had changed to expressionless in an instant, slowly walked over and asked.
“Mr. Noah, and Arwell. Why are you here?”
“We decided to go to the tower together.”
“…don’t you work part-time? I have to pay off the debt.”
Aiden’s eyes tremble. And he stared at Seo Ji-han, who was looking elsewhere, with one eye.
“Ellen.”
“why.”
Park Noah snorted and shrugged her shoulders with an arrogant expression.
“You wouldn’t feel such an insignificant feeling. There is no such thing as debt anymore.”
It was the pride of those who paid off billions of dollars in debt. Aiden, who saw it, muttered so quietly that Arwell could not hear it.
“…I have no luck.”
“uh? what?”
“yes? I didn’t say anything. If we decide to go together, we go quickly. Don’t gossip.”
Not hurried, but hurried, the party who came out on the street took a bus to head to the tower.
Seo Ji-han sat by the window seat of the bus and tried to watch the streets. Even though I’ve been to the ‘outside’ area, this was the first time I’d ever looked inside the tower under the protection of the tower. Even when she went out with Ryu Seo-yeon, she only looked around the city.
dump. Then Aiden with arms crossed sat down next to him.
It was almost an empty seat, but he had to sit next to him, and his eyes were closed as if angry.
“Aiden. what’s the matter?”
“Why did you bring it?”
Seo-Han was a little perplexed at the tone of the question, as if asking outright.
“uh? humbly and humbly. It’s not outside, it’s a tower, so it won’t be inconvenient if you and I go. It’s home.”
Aiden felt the urge to pluck Seo Ji-han’s hair.
“And it’s because of you.”
Seo Ji-han felt an ominous atmosphere and quietly added words.
“what.”
“The woman who looked like Noah yesterday, isn’t she on the 25th floor?”
“It would be. He lives there too.”
“I think I’m going to have an argument like last time if I catch my eye, so I’m going to take Noah Park, who will like it. Then won’t you mind both of us?”
“Ugh. We are…”
Aiden thought for a moment, then slowly opened one eye and said.
“like. I’ll see you.”
“… well, thank you.”
Reassured by the reaction, Seo Ji-han turned her head toward the window again.
‘…’
Unless he’s an idiot, he knew that Aiden would be upset about calling someone else. However, he didn’t know that he was going to ask such a question without stopping to notice.
‘But I can’t help it.’
The purpose of heading to the tower this time was to find out if the structure for the player would apply to him or not to Park Noah.
‘You should also ask how you got stronger.’
That’s why he brought the protagonist. Seo Ji-han looked at Aiden’s slender side face and asked.
“I said there is a direct pass up to the 25th floor, right?”
“yes. You have to go up to the third floor.”
“What about the 50th floor? Your grandfather is here.”
Aiden shook his head at the word ‘grandfather’.
“I want to show Jihan’s magical talent to my grandfather, but due to the current situation in the tower, it’s impossible to go up to the upper floors. If you want to go there, you have no choice but to go up the stairs, but within 1 night or 2 days, it is impossible. It can be dangerous.”
“ok? Then there’s no point in taking me to the tower, is it?”
“no. Our house is on the 25th floor. Can you introduce Jihan to your family?”
Just as Seo Ji-han was about to say something useless, luckily, Park No-ah, who was sitting in the back, stuck her head over Aiden’s head.
“Ellen. Can we go too?”
“Noah, you can go to your guardian’s house.”
“It’s uncomfortable there. Can’t I just take care of you for one day?”
“… uhh. I see.”
Whether Aiden was aware of Park Noah’s situation, he quickly agreed to that part. Seo Ji-han glanced at Park No-ah as she sat back down with her satisfied face.
‘Ira of the Tower.’
Noah Park has no parents. Whether it was a narrative trick or not, there was a reason why the word ‘protector’ was mentioned in the original work.
This rice cake, often mentioned by Arihan Hector, can be found by unlocking the new route by completing the quest on the 25th floor and satisfying the death condition.
‘Respawn’ area.
Because that was the place where Noah Park was resurrected and was born at the same time.
Whoa! After driving for about three more hours, the tower in sight grew large enough to fill the background. When we arrived at the bus stop and got off, the tower that soared through the clouds boasted an overwhelming majesty.
‘woah···. That’s great.’
It definitely feels more majestic than what I saw in the game. Even though it looks spacious from the outside, the inside had a larger area than the actual circumference of the tower due to the magic of the tower master.
Seo Ji-han looked at a remote place among the crowds coming and going to the tower. Unexpectedly, there was a hole with a long vertical gap there. There were people who put coins into it as if it were a lucky niche.
Whoa! At that time, Soul Cheol in Seo Ji-han’s arms began to react on his own.
‘I didn’t know that was the entrance to the true ending.’
If you collect more of this soul iron, apply it to Arwell, and plug it into that door, the door to the underground of the tower and to Hell will open. It was also the place where Arihan Hector now hid.
“Mr. Jihan? There is no entrance there.”
“···Oh yeah?”
As Aiden pulled the hem of his clothes from behind, Seo Ji-han followed the lead, pretending not to know.
‘It was because of that that only people from the tower, but not from the earth, were able to resurrect, even if limited.’
It is a fact revealed at the true ending, but there was a secret that when people from the tower die, their souls are locked in hell. Because the managers were managing the soul by binding it, it was possible to resurrect the penalty and sacrifice in return.
‘Layer was the case.’
And, seeing the scene of hell, Noah Park kills all the managers.
No matter how good the story was, it was a route that had no choice but to become evil.
For reference, Noah Park was able to resurrect herself without any penalty in the respawn area. Except that the time in the game goes by more and more as the number of times increases.
A total of 3 soul irons are needed to open that door.
One is owned by Seo Ji-Han, and the other is already owned by others. It was a problem that we would soon encounter as we progressed through the scenario anyway.
“This is it.”
Seo Ji-han followed Aiden’s guidance and walked towards the huge hole in the tower. Noah Park and Arwell had already entered.
I sighed and stepped into it, and the system floated in front of my eyes.
