Stuck in The Tower

Chapter 208

The name the top sage spoke of is known to everyone.

It’s a name that Koreans wouldn’t know.

Cataclysm and social collapse Deserters and political weakening One of the first supermen to appear in an era no different from the inexorable.

At the same time, they are also the people who are in charge of leading large guilds.

Hwangmo Gu is the head of the Guryong Guild, the number one large guild.

Bae Moon-ho is the head of the second-ranked guild, Muhakseong, while Kim Seong-tak is the third-ranked guild, the Blue Dragon Guild.

Although they have different personalities, they are recognized around the world.

Is that all?

‘Large guild leaders are officially the ones who have risen above the 50th floor and maybe even the 60th floor.’

The early days of Cataclysm were such a mess that it’s unclear how far they’ve come.

I can only guess through their interviews and announcements from their aides.

They will know. There’s nothing good about talking about one’s strength.

Regardless of personal feelings, it is clear that they are great guys.

Whatever it is now, it is clear that the country that was confused at the time was organized and the current hunter system was established.

“Can we talk a little more about the people we just talked about?”

“It is. After being locked up in the tower, overflowing with time is time… I’m glad to see my companion after a long time.”

The wise man who brought a chair and sat down stares at me.

eyes that do not know the inside.

Aside from not being able to fathom the depth, it didn’t feel sinister or dangerous.

His eyes were too clear to feel that way, and he felt strong enough to not have to do tricks behind his back.

“I know roughly why you want to ask about them. I will tell you about others. Choi Ha-yeon, Kim Jun-su, Lee Jae-hoon, Arshad, Wang So-wi…”

He lists the names he has been looking for.

After all, they are all giants. There were large guild leaders in Korea, such as Phoenix Sangun Eclipse, and the names of heads of large guilds in Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, and India were also mixed.

Come to think of it, most of the large guild leaders are all invitational hunters.

More than 10 years have passed since the tower was created, but the newly formed large guilds were rare.

If you search the whole world, there will be 5 of them. Most of them are places made in the early days.

Was it that vested interests were already created as soon as the world changed?

It’s not surprising anymore.

‘Choi Seong-mo said. The wrong tutorial strategy and safer policy are made up by the whole world.’

After establishing forces on the 50th floor, it was obvious that he would have had conversations with the people he met on the 60th floor.

The current system was prepared from the beginning.

The reason it was able to do that was…

‘Probably because I met a sage.’

What did the wise man tell them?

John Trailer must have told you that the destruction of the tower accelerates as the number of hunters increases.

“You must already know a lot. okay. Most of the people who came to me at that time would have become big figures. In any sense.”

“yes. Everyone became the head of a large guild. I do not intend to disparage their achievements. Whatever it is, it’s because he’s the first-class contributor to normalizing a country that was a mess. What happened after that just makes no sense.”

“It seems so. It wasn’t until 13 years passed that the signs of destruction appeared. It lasted longer than I expected.”

His eyes turn to Deokchun.

The guy who inflates his body and grabs my hair.

“How much do you know about the tower?”

“I don’t know. It appeared suddenly and did not have any substance.”

I’m climbing the tower now, but I’ve never seen the tower itself.

Because it doesn’t exist in reality.

I was just invited and called. I don’t know where the tower is or why it is there.

Even if you don’t know the scientific theory, it’s like there’s no problem using electronic devices and home appliances.

The gateway to becoming a Hunter. That’s all I know.

The sage smiled softly and nodded.

“It is a mysterious thing, but the tower. Even I, who was praised as a sage, did not know about it.”

damn

He snaps his fingers and a teacup appears.

Does it imply that the story will be long?

I quietly put my lips on the teacup.

“As chaos builds up, a tower appears. If you have come this far, you must have seen demons and angels, as well as traces of other destroyed worlds.”

“I saw it.”

I also made connections with related NPCs.

I have also seen fields created with the background of a destroyed world. It wasn’t a very pleasant experience.

“When chaos builds up, the Tower comes. There is a reason why the Demon World perished so quickly. They never sit still.”

The 7th Demon Realm, where Killerless was, caused the War of the Heavenly Demons, and the 4th Demon Realm, where Gale was, started a unified war.

Whatever the reason, it is an undeniable fact that it is a history of war and struggle.

The world we live in is not very different.

Even now, there must be a war going on somewhere.

“It doesn’t matter if it’s not that great. A war on a global scale only creates more chaos. At the smallest level, even a quarrel with a lover or an individual conflict accumulates chaos.”

Toong.

As he tilts the teaspoon, a drop of water falls and ripples across the teacup.

“Each world has an amount of chaos it can endure. If even a single drop crosses the critical point, it’s over. A great chaos comes and erases everything and starts over. That’s the rule of the world.”

“It means resetting. So, isn’t it impossible to avoid it?”

If the tower was created for the purpose of resetting from the beginning, wouldn’t it be impossible to avoid it no matter what you do?

You can avoid destruction by clearing the 100th floor.

It’s speculation anyway.

Like Rilka said, no one had cleared the 100th floor.

Even if there is, there is no way we can verify.

It’s not a hopeful story by any means, but the wise man was laughing.

“I never said the Tower was chaos, though I can’t deny that it is a part.”

“What are you talking about?”

“The world is harmonious, so if there are parts that stick out, there are parts that go in. light and darkness fire and water. Where you live, they call it the harmony of yin and yang.”

The more you listen to the story, the more complicated it becomes.

“It’s a simple story. The opposite of chaos is order. Why does the tower exist? Why does the system exist? It’s a kind of deterrent to prevent chaos.”

This is the first time I’ve heard of it.

If you think about it, it might be obvious.

If it was a chaos so big that it would literally reset the world, why would it be so difficult?

There is no time to prepare, just explode the gate and sweep it away, and that’s it.

There is something I felt while climbing the tower.

It was obviously difficult and difficult, but there was a way to overcome it, and in some ways it was even kind.

The challenges and rewards were clear, and each level had a clear purpose.

To become stronger and rise higher.

My head is tingling.

if this statement is true

‘I understand why the bug happened.’

A distorted system window appearing to me.

aka bug.

Everyone when it appears.

‘It was when I caused confusion by going against the rules of the Tower.’

Even when you have two powers.

Even when I ignored all options in the selection section on the 40th floor.

never went down the given path

Messages passing through your head.

-You never moved according to the tower’s will.

-Type is added.

-Your type is ‘undefinable chaos’.

The order that suppressed chaos.

Towers and systems created by order.

I rejected it

It was natural for the system to crack, and the result was a bug.

Looking at it this far, the things I’ve done so far have been nothing but dangerous actions.

“I heard that chaos levels are required to challenge the 100th floor. That means that in order to clear the tower, the challenger must also have chaos, right?”

In the end, it was clear that Chaos was also part of the tower.

Sick John Trailer raised an eyebrow.

“There was a corner that was clearer than it looked. That’s right. No one’s ever been to the 100th floor, but I can guess. area of chaos. Water and oil don’t mix. At least there should be a place where they can fit in.”

he raised his finger

“100 points of chaos is the standard. Minimum conditions to enter the 100th floor. It’s not easy. All I did was collect 64 points while climbing to the 92nd floor.”

The wise man who reached the 92nd floor only scored 64 points.

Is it that difficult to obtain chaos levels?

Even 100 points is the minimum condition. You never know what will happen once you enter the 100th floor.

I clenched my fist.

It is true that I am afraid of the unknown, but more than that.

‘can do. If it’s me, it’s possible.’

I had more faith that I could do it.

I already got chaos numbers from the beginning and even created bugs by affecting the system.

There is no choice at the point of obtaining infinite coins anyway.

“Your eyes don’t waver.”

“I’m a bit bright.”

“Shamelessness is sometimes a good virtue.”

He laughed and trembled.

“All of the skill authority you use is heterogeneous. Like monsters and gates. Yes, it would be right to tell you the same.”

The words I heard from Seongmo Choi the other day.

he continued the story.

The greater the chaos, the faster the destruction.

Hunters are heterogeneous beings, and as the number of hunters increases, destruction also approaches.

When the one that rises higher comes out, more powerful monsters appear.

That’s why the early hunters made a plan.

If you do not pass the tutorial section, you will not be recognized as a hunter.

He spread the fear of monsters and the dangers of climbing the tower by informing the wrong tutorial strategy.

While I was buying time like that, I tried to target the top by nurturing the systematically trained rookies.

In order to do all of that, the power of a large guild had to be firm.

Information also had to be prevented from leaking out.

The wise man who drank his tea calmly looked at me.

“Do you resent them?”

“I do. Because I died because of them. It annoys me that I prevented others from going up. I understand, but that only sounds like an excuse.”

know. In a way, they might be right.

By the way…

“Why do they filter out people? A rookie that was raised with great care? No, the nobles who were guild leaders were rookies, so they climbed beyond the 50th floor? At least you shouldn’t have blocked the road ahead of others.”

After all, no one knows until they actually do it.

Wasn’t there a talented person who could conquer the tower among those who fell due to the wrong strategy?

Are you 100 percent sure?

What is the possibility that he did such a thing for the sake of the cause without any self-interest?

well.

No matter what Rookie is, in the end, they are their own people.

They must have had the future after clearing the top in mind.

In a way, it might be natural.

Everyone does it to prepare for the future when things go well.

still.

“If something goes wrong, humanity shouldn’t be the price, right?”

Why are they betting other people’s lives?

If you really didn’t want to see the world fall apart, you shouldn’t have.

“Why do you think we failed?”

“Yes…”

He smiled for some reason and asked me a question, but I couldn’t answer.

Why couldn’t they escape destruction?

It’s full of ridiculous monsters.

If you look for those who reached the 90th floor, there are quite a few.

NPCs who have climbed to the 99th floor are rare, but they do exist.

“Where I was, as well as in the demon realm and in other worlds, there was a heroic spirit king or a strong being comparable to him. What is your world like?”

does not exist.

In the first place, such as magic and spirits, such things only existed in my imagination.

No matter how strong a person is, he cannot defeat a beast in a bare-handed fight.

Lions, tigers and elephants, of course, no.

Accidents where people die from being bitten by dogs happen frequently, but they cannot be compared to the people the wise man spoke of.

Even if you come up with a gun.

Even monsters on the 50th floor right now couldn’t be eaten by bullets.

“There are no heroes in your world who can fight nonsense.”

He points at himself with a teaspoon.

“Even if there is, the same. It is impossible for individuals alone. Not only me, but all the NPCs here have been through it. You know what? Isolated alone, I wanted to build a homunculus and go upstairs.”

know.

Because it was listed in the Arcane Gem information.

In the end, though, it ended in failure.

“As you can see, the results were not good. I don’t know the strong. You don’t need a strategy or anything. Stop piercing by force. If you go alone like that, there is nothing around you.”

Towers cannot be broken alone.

Exactly, alone cannot prevent destruction.

That’s what John Trailer said.

“A surefire ploy to buy him time. To band together against a common enemy. Those are the things I told those who came to see me.”

He frowned.

It’s all good, but…

“So you’re saying we should accept the fact that a large guild was created to fight the public enemy of the Tower? Whatever they do?”

It doesn’t matter that what I did was denied.

But rationalizing their actions is unacceptable.

I clenched my fist.

“What are you talking about? The public enemy I was talking about is a large guild.”

John Trailer raised an eyebrow.

Wrinkles formed around his eyes.
