Stuck in The Tower

Side Story Episode 21

Even though the world has changed and there are common enemies called monsters and gates, it is difficult for people from all over the world to unite.

Although many countries have been destroyed, there are many that are still alive and a power game between countries is in progress.

There was talk of creating an international government, but there was no significant response.

First of all, the distance between countries is far away, and the balance has already been broken due to hunters.

Nevertheless, there was one thing that all countries did.

“An international criminal.”

The goal was to catch villains who could pose an international risk.

Local villains cannot even show their business cards.

At least, these include those who have caused serious damage to major cities or committed acts so vicious as to cause problems in daily life.

Naturally, those labeled as international criminals are powerful.

As important as this is, the number of people who have the authority to name them as international criminals is limited.

Top tier hunters from each government or from organizations recognized by the government.

It is only possible this way.

In Oh Ji-hyuk’s case, this is satisfied because he is the president of the Hunter Association.

As I look at the list of criminals with interest, Lick-Jjak clicks his tongue.

“It’s a villain, it’s a villain. These people have no human rights. “You can just kill them.”

“really? “Aren’t human rights organizations saying anything?”

“They’re all lost. Life groups also joined together. “Monsters are also life, so I got thrown into the monster field.”

Someone says

The present is an age of barbarism.

It was a self-deprecating remark, but I admit it in part.

Compared to the era before the cataclysm, it was much more violent and the value of survival was much higher.

In such a situation, you say nonsense that only sounds good?

‘Then I have nothing to say even if I get beaten up.’

Human rights and life are all good, but we have to be selective and picky.

For all the people who only talk, I’ve never seen anyone actually do something.

Those guys don’t care.

“It’s more than I thought.”

We found that the rate of catching international criminals was unexpectedly low.

A large bounty was attached.

Even if several people form a team to hunt, they can make hundreds of millions to billions of won.

If you work as a small group, you take much more.

If you could catch one person and make that much profit, even high-ranking hunters would come forward.

This is especially true because there is an additional bounty attached to old criminals.

“It’s because they’re all hiding. “It’s harder to find it than to catch it.”

“You know that your life is a waste.”

Is it because they know that if they are caught, they will die?

Even with the large bounties placed on international criminals, not many are caught.

According to rumors, these guys are working together.

They say they join forces because they are ostracized by the world.

“Anyway, as long as you live well, you’ll be fine.”

I am a powerful superhuman, so I deserve to be treated like this!

Different from other ordinary people!

There is a bounty for being caught up in these old-fashioned thoughts and engaging in misbehavior.

wait.

“Could this be used as educational material?”

Hunter Academy.

I think it could also be used as mental education material for students there.

Aren’t they already trying character education for fear of causing related problems?

There was a need to show what a criminal’s words were like.

“That’s not bad.”

Lickjjakki agrees.

It’s better to see anything than to say it in words.

It’s best to experience it yourself, but you can’t become a criminal.

or not.

“It looks like it would be a good idea to take them out for a visit.”

“It must be dangerous. “In our eyes, they are just average guys, but they are still B-level or better.”

“I guess they actually made it to level A? “Maybe there’s an S-class in there too?”

The hair loss man who intervened gives advice.

Most of them were criminals who remained at level B, but there was a high possibility that their level had now risen further.

Once the number of floors climbed is determined, it’s over.

“I must have raised my skill level and things like that.”

“That’s right. There must be some who have taken the elixir. Maybe the skill level itself has been raised. “There are still transcendence stones on the black market, so I may have raised my power level.”

There were other ways to become stronger.

Raise your skill level and strengthen your authority.

“Me and Nyangfun are also unlocking random skill boxes, so we might have gotten something of a high level.”

There is a possibility that he may have acquired a completely new skill.

Other than that, people like that often have unusual and strange abilities, so I have to be more careful.

A Skill Eater with a bounty of 42.6 billion would be even more dangerous because it can absorb the skills of the person it kills.

There are bound to be people everywhere who can become stronger than the standard.

That would be a name among international criminals.

Already, 42 bounty hunters trying to catch him have been killed.

I can’t even touch it now.

I think I’ll catch those guys without much risk.

It seems that Lick Jjak thinks similarly.

“As long as you figure out the right location, you’ll be fine. A few people can protect the students and the rest can catch them.”

“If you take care of everything, there’s no need to worry.”

I knew they were strong and dangerous, but I wasn’t too worried.

Because no one here thought they would lose to them.

“You get a bounty as a bonus!”

“That was the purpose, you bastard.”

“You lost a lot of money last time.”

Yes.

In the meantime, I cleared the gate and sold miscellaneous items I purchased at the store window, but my bank account was empty for a long time.

Needless to say the cause.

“So who bought that?”

“But the genocide of the flash!”

“shut up. “Before I just sell it to a junkyard.”

“Sobbing. “Guarantee private property.”

This is because I bought the robot that I rode at the fair.

Since I entered the gate using the demonstration robot, I had no choice but to purchase it.

Of course, I bought it with my own money, and not only mine, but also Lilka’s.

‘Why is it so expensive?’

Tens of billions were broken.

The price is as good as that of a fighter jet.

I guess so. It was created by combining all modern technology.

The serving robot you sometimes see in restaurants costs 20 million won if you just buy it.

Is it possible to have a combat-type robot that rolls on rough terrain, bounces off direct fire, and is equipped with all kinds of firearms?

Who knows how I felt about taking out a loan just a few months after returning!

It’s fortunate that I got a good loan because I’m a top tier hunter.

“The hero who saves the world is a debtor!”

“Yanma. Still, you have to pay the right price to buy it.”

“I took out the loan on my own.”

There is no choice.

All you have to do is tighten your belt and work hard to earn money.

The conclusion was simple.

Catch international criminals.

As a bonus, I also get academy training.

‘They can’t live among people, so they’ll live in a corner.’

The cultists may be living around the gate, as if they were living in a tent camp near the gate.

I don’t know if it’s someone else, but if you have that level of skill, monsters won’t be a big problem.

In addition, we are also looking for mirror fragments and potential candidates for obelisk installation.

More than anything.

“I need to find that guy, Emperor Gu.”

Gate movement. Even the concept that has disappeared.

All problems are intertwined with him.

“I will definitely leave a clue.”

This guy is thorough.

The same goes for keeping this ability hidden until now.

As soon as he made the decision, he dragged out one of the most prominent organizations in Seoul.

‘They even had mercenaries of various nationalities.’

Excellent ability to act and readiness.

Needless to say, there was no financial power.

‘The available manpower is also considerable.’

There are more hunters following him than you might think.

It would be too much to think of him as the guild leader of a fallen guild.

Since he is such an insidious guy, did he force the guild members to follow him?

I heard that the restrictions imposed on rookies in large guilds were also created under his leadership.

‘It was the same with Baek-hwan, who made me lose my memory of the tutorial section.’

I’ve been ignoring it for a while, but there’s more than one suspicious thing.

How was he, an early hunter, able to accomplish so much?

How did I learn how to make white pills and how to apply restrictions?

‘There’s something I’m hiding.’

This is speculation and intuition.

Past experience speaks for itself.

The biggest obstacle to the Obelisk project is neither monsters nor worshipers.

It’s a guy.

Since it is rampaging in many directions, it will definitely be caught.

Until then, wait a while.

Doing my job.

To give an example.

“Would you like to try using a piece of mirror?”

Except for the mirror pieces used to make the obelisk, the rest are stored separately.

The pieces are being fitted into a mirror frame custom-made by Lilka.

There are a total of 12 mirror pieces to collect.

Including what I got at the fair, I have currently collected 8.

Except for the one reserved for making obelisks, two can be used.

When there was one piece, there was no particular reaction.

I was lucky enough to see Kildeless when I first installed the obelisk.

I guess it’s because he had such a deep connection with me.

After getting ready, I headed to Lilka’s workshop.

The guy who has already set up a seat near the mirror.

The members also came together.

“Wouldn’t you be able to see something with just two pieces?”

“Just checking it out. “To use it properly, you have to put all the pieces together.”

“Quickly put it in!”

Lilka, who even brought out popcorn, urges us by pounding on the sofa.

A piece stuck in the corner of the frame.

I carefully took out the mirror piece from my inventory and placed it next to it.

-click.

The mirror pieces join together like magnets.

The mirror, connected without a single crack, shined as if it had never been broken into pieces.

-Paaaa!

It gave off a more intense light than before.

For a moment, my eyes were dazzled to the point where I grimaced.

What I saw inside was a familiar face.

“Oh! Belladang!”

Lilka suddenly stood up.

A snack shop owner I met in the safe zone where the 20th floor defense event was taking place.

I had a lot of worries because business wasn’t going well.

I also received quest items as gifts.

In a safe zone where all climbers have left, they are still busy preparing for business and smiling brightly.

Then I was surprised.

As is his habit, he touches the Pechin Union belt and tilts his head.

I frowned as if I had forgotten something important and rubbed my union belt for a while.

-Sssss.

The screen changes.

There are two characters who appeared this time.

Ruler of the 19th and 29th floors,

two pillars of the Church of Ice and Fire .

Hugo Erte and Magneta.

They seem to still be getting along well and are leisurely enjoying tea at the table.

Maybe it was because of me that the church was revived, but a more powerful sacred power than before became a halo and illuminated the two of them.

“Oh oh! They kiss…! Ouch! “Why are you hitting me?”

“ah. sorry. “I felt like I was stealing something without even realizing it.”

As the two’s faces got closer, Lick-Jjak hit the Bald Man on the head.

In the meantime, the screen switches again.

“Holly. “Evileye statue.”

What suddenly appeared was a close-up shot of a statue made in my image.

An underground city where steam is billowing out and airships are floating around.

“Framberg.”

That’s the place.

The place where I met Delverton and where I received the Chaos Sword as a gift.

Several dwarves are scratching their heads and examining my statue.

They are scratching their heads and talking about the statue.

I understand after seeing Bella and the dwarves’ reactions.

‘The system erased my memory.’

Is it because I cleared the 100th floor?

He remembers making the statue, but he doesn’t seem to remember exactly who that person is.

Just one person.

-hero. I don’t remember much, but I remember that.

Behiltan, the representative of Framberg, was looking at the statue with a mixture of complex and nostalgic emotions.

Not everyone has forgotten me.

Some people remember me, albeit vaguely.

-Ssssss.

After that, many faces pass by.

Magnarok. Bruhem, head of Helldying Kitchen. Hainu, the snow spirit of the world tree.

The spirit Mobilidic and the fairy Chihirin settled in a safe zone after receiving my help.

Odelto and wise man John Traylor are resurrected as homunculi.

Heida, the fairy of destruction, and Mulan Cassen, who is embracing her past self next to her. Even Zenetta is watching them.

If there is anything surprising.

-I hope you found your answer.

Wise man John Traylor noticed me!

Is it because he has the eyes of a wise man?

At the same time, the system imposed restrictions, but John Traylor just laughed at that.

-Tzuzuzuzu.

The screen gradually darkens.

It means it’s time for it to end.

It was unfortunate, but I was thinking that I was satisfied because I saw many connections.

-Dismissal!

A familiar guy appeared with a spark.

Garti.

A Platinum-level admirer who did business with me.

At the same time, heresy betrayed his worshipers.

– During the tower composition relocation period, I request a deal with the tower as a representative of those who lost their king.

The guy requested a trade from the tower.
