It was so absurd that it didn’t even feel real.

Because no one dared to expect that something like this would happen.

A national-level player who achieved the feat of clearing the 65th floor with full support from the government, while simultaneously amassing wealth and fame, is naturalized overnight? And to Japan at that?

South Korea in chaos.

In particular, Yoo Cheol-min’s remarks at the press conference at the Japanese Prime Minister’s Office were so outrageous that it was mind-boggling.

  • The biggest reason I came to Japan was because of the Korean government’s awakening management that had fallen into complacency.
  • Even though the deadline for conquering the 66th floor was approaching, there was no intention of providing proper support, and the management office executives were only preoccupied with politics and neglected the operation of the elite team.
  • The future of South Korea was bleak. The only choice left for me was Japan. It was true that the escape was in the order of intelligence.
  • I have no regrets about my choice to become a naturalized citizen. I will gladly accept any criticism. Feel free to curse me. Then, I wish the Republic of Korea success.

I think you’re saying that to provoke conflict.

Who would agree with such a statement?

There is no one who does not know how much Yoo Cheol-min has enjoyed the comfort of the South Korean government.

The media reaction was sharp.

<Yoo Cheol-min’s despicable betrayal and poor excuses, citizens also harshly criticize him as a traitor and coward>

<Yoo Cheol-min, who had been having trouble conquering the 66th floor undead, is running away without following his tail>

<It’s so gross. You say the support wasn’t good enough? Why are you leaving out the past when you monopolized the runes for strengthening characteristics?>

<The black-haired beast didn’t even know grace. Did it escape because it was so intelligent? It seems like it ran away because it was stupid.>

The National Intelligence Service, the National Intelligence Service, and the police were also targets of criticism.

<Yoo Cheol-min’s Escape, Did You Really Not Notice? The Management Office’s Poor Management Is Revealed to the World>

<The National Intelligence Service and the police, who were completely defeated by the secret operation of the Japanese intelligence agency, should know their shame. Is there a solution?>

<Director of the National Intelligence Service, Director of the National Police Agency, and the Commissioner General of the National Police Agency are all scheduled to be summoned for the State Audit and Inspection>

└ You little shit, are you even human? You can’t clear the 66th floor, so you’re making excuses like that?

└ This is so annoying. Why did you have to go to Japan?

└ Why are you all overreacting? If you had gone to China, you wouldn’t have been this excited.

└ China? It’s the same there. If you go to China, don’t criticize China, you little shit! Where are you going to mess with it!

└ Hey! If you don’t want to get teased, be quiet.

└ Oh my, this is more disappointing than losing the Korea-Japan soccer match.

└ That bastard even took all the items given by the management office and put them in his inventory.

└ This is a matter of pride. We have to do something. Either assassinate that bastard Yoo or declare war on Japan.

└ At this rate, won’t the S++ rank strategy record be taken away?

└ It is quite possible. If that person goes somewhere else, I will also consider immigrating.

That story is all on TV.

What happened happened, and it can’t be undone.

Joohyuk calmed down his excitement.

“There was a man more handsome than me.”

“Oh my! Summoner Bong is a Korean man, so then all men in South Korea are Korean men. That bastard is just a loser, a loner, and a loser.”

That seems right.

At least I’m confident I’m better than that guy.

By the way, this must be the reason why Team Leader Jeon Gwang-il requested a private interview.

A Cossack speaking cautiously.

“…Hey, if you go into the management office, you can guess what that guy is going to say.”

Joo-hyuk is also guessing.

“If you listen to me obediently, I’ll spoil your habits. We have to go at our usual pace. Slowly and safely.”

That’s right.

If you go up too fast, problems may arise.

“It’s okay to ignore it and not go. We should also hide somewhere for a few days like that guy…”

“Hey, that won’t work.”

“Huh?”

But we still have some affection for each other.

“I’ll go and throw the holy sword and come back. I think I need a light attribute item.”

To sell it and make some money.

“Ahhh, as expected, you are Summoner Bong. I am so touched. To think that you would bestow such grace upon useless civil servants.”

Hoot! With just this,

Who am I?

He may seem like a gentleman on the outside, but he’s actually a warm-hearted gentleman.

“But this holy sword is of the light attribute.”

“Huh?”

“It is a divine attribute.”

That’s it.

It is said to have the characteristic of being full of brilliance,

Isn’t the light of brilliance a photon of light?

Anyway.

“Is it good?”

“Present! This is better.”

Okay then.

“This holy sword can reach the 67th floor. If used by someone with talent.”

Why can’t I go any further than that?

“Because it’s worn out. Look at the sword pattern. It’s all erased.”

“That’s true.”

“That’s why the power of the brilliance is weak. The brilliance of the real holy sword is like a searchlight. The undead just rust.”

Meaning a broken lightsaber.

Anyway, I don’t know when that will be, but there will come a day when I will be able to climb to the 60th floor.

“Are there any divine summoned beings in that world?”

“It’s so dense.”

“What’s the grade?”

“The saints and the popes are LSSR rank, but the knights, priests, monks, high-ranking priests, etc. are all rare to SSR ranks. They will definitely have at least one holy relic, so if anyone gets caught, it’s over.”

I knew it.

There are tanks and assassins, so why no healers?

What if the draw fails?

What’s the problem?

Just park on an appropriate level and wait until the train comes out.

Now let’s slowly get ready to go to the management office.

★ ★ ★

Seoul Hannam-dong Gaksung Management Office.

The area in front was incredibly crowded.

It seems like all the media outlets in Korea have gathered here.

Although police were blocking access, every time a person or vehicle entered or exited the main gate of the administrative office, reporters would swarm them like a pack of mad lynxes.

That’s why even Team Leader Jeon Gwang-il can’t come out.

As the car Joo-hyuk was riding entered the management office, reporters swarmed in.

“What measures is the management office taking?”

“I heard rumors about Commissioner Park Kyung-soo’s dismissal. Is that true?”

“Please say just one word.”

How do I know that?

It’s a good thing the car windows are tinted darkly.

I took the elevator from the underground parking lot.

The atmosphere inside the management office is chaotic.

The faces of the employees I encountered were all extremely gloomy.

Will the emergency meeting be held properly today?

Joo-hyuk met Team Leader Jeon Gwang-il in a quiet office.

“I’m sorry. I asked you to come when you’re busy.”

“No. I completely understand. I saw the news too. You must be very heartbroken.”

“…Thank you for your support.”

As we meet often and become familiar with each other, the conversation becomes easier.

“The reason I invited you, Bong Player, is for no other reason than…,”

Jeon Gwang-il seemed to have a hard time bringing up the subject, so he gulped and swallowed for a moment.

“Oh, by any chance, to the 60th floor…, oh, how long will it take to get up there?”

I knew you’d say this.

Currently on the 29th floor.

Assuming you climb the upper floors every day, it will take 31 days to reach the 66th floor, and 37 days to reach the 66th floor.

There are about 80 days left until the 66th floor conquest period, so you might think that’s plenty by simple calculation, but

We must speak firmly.

So take a deep breath.

Pretend to lower your voice.

“It’s difficult within 80 days. Even I prepare by repeating the strategy for at least 10 days when there are difficult sections.”

“…yes.”

At the same time, driving a wedge,

“It’s probably in the contract. Climbing to the upper floors is up to my decision.”

“I’m sorry. I’m embarrassed. It’s been so long since we signed the contract that I can’t believe I’m saying this already. But I’m also desperate to grab onto straws…”

Ah, that sad expression.

My heart is weakened.

Don’t worry. I’ll get to the 66th floor somehow, I’d like to say, but…, what can’t be done, can’t be done.

Even if it’s possible to climb every day now since it’s on the 20th floor, what about the 30th floor? The 40th floor? The 50th floor?

What if you summon an LSSR grade saint or pope from a random summon?

“I heard that in the elite team, there is another player in the 60th floor besides Yoo Cheol-min.”

“I’m Nam Ga-eun, a player. But it’s been over 100 days since I’ve stayed on the 62nd floor.”

“…You’ve been here for a long time.”

“We are also looking for light attribute items to support other players. However, that bastard Yoo Cheol-min ran away with all the items we had. If only we had that.”

Wow, you’re such a fucking bastard.

Let’s throw it out here.

“Since we’re talking about items, I’d like to put an item up for sale in the Player Shop.”

“Huh? Oh, oh, is it by any chance a light attribute?”

“It is not a light attribute.”

“…Ah, yes, yes.”

Jeon Gwang-il was slightly disappointed.

Even if I’m a hardcore player, what kind of item would I sell in this situation? It’s not even a light attribute item, and my head hurts so much I’m going to die.

“Items can be sold by going to the player shop staff…”

That was when.

Bam!

A woman opens the conference room door and comes in.

“Team Leader!”

“Ah! Player Nam Ga-eun.”

“You’re here. I was wondering if you could lend me a light attribute item from America.”

“Um, I’m sorry, I haven’t received a definitive answer yet.”

“Why are you apologizing, Team Leader? I know you can’t sleep and are running around everywhere.”

Nam Ga-eun, the player, clenches her fist and shouts at Jeon Gwang-il.

“Cheer up, let’s do this. If we lose heart here, how much will that son of a bitch, Yoo Cheol-min, like that? Cheer up! And from now on, please call me Plan A. I’ll take the lead.”

Then he looked at Joo-hyuk,

“But who is this person?”

Ouch!

Jeon Gwang-il’s expression hardened.

How do you get around it?

The fact that I am the author of an S++ rank strategy guide must be kept hidden at all costs.

so,

“…You came to sell the item. I think you probably received it as a tower reward.”

“Oh! Congratulations on your acquisition! You should go to the Player Shop, but, ah, you don’t know where it is. Okay! Follow me. I’ll show you the way.”

Snap!

Nam Ga-eun grabbed Joo-hyuk’s hand.

Huh?

“Hey, hey, wait a minute, hey. Let go of this hand.”

“It’s okay. Follow me. You too, Player. Fighting!”

It’s dangerous.

Is this person Nam Ga-eun?

It was incredibly amazing.

How can people be so active?

Skinship without hesitation.

Stay still!

In order to sell an item for a fair price, you need to check whether it is effective.

In that case, there is no one else but Nam Ga-eun.

“Excuse me, excuse me, can you let go of my hand for a second?”

“Oh, I’m sorry. I acted carelessly.”

“…It’s okay. But I’ll lend you an item, so, um, try using it.”

Nam Ga-eun tilts her head at Joo-hyuk’s words.

“Huh? You want me to try using the item? I need to know what kind of item it is…,”

Stop!

Joohyeok took out the holy sword from his inventory and spoke quickly.

If you speak quickly, you won’t stutter.

“It looks very old, but its properties are divine. The name is the Holy Sword of the Paladin Commander of the Roland Kingdom, exclusive to the Tower, increases attack power when fighting against the undead, the flame of the Holy Fire, a strong mind, and a critical hit rate…”

After a moment of hesitation at the rapid-fire speech,

“Now, wait a minute. Tell me the name of the sword again.”

“The holy sword of the Paladin Commander of the Roland Castle, exclusive to the top.”

“…Holy Sword, attribute is divine?”

“Pressure!”

Nam Ga-eun doubted her ears.

I’ve heard a lot about the light attribute, but the divine attribute?

And a paladin?

Isn’t that a word referring to a knight?

The same was true for Jeon Gwang-il.

Was that the item you were looking for?

If that’s the real holy sword…

“It is said that it gives the user a soft glow, which should be able to counteract the dark aura. It should probably be usable up to the 67th floor… hahaha, if you have the talent.”

Dark Aura Cancellation, that’s nonsense!

Nam Ga-eun barely opened her lips,

“Can I check the item information?”

“As much as you want.”

Nam Ga-eun receives the sword from Joo-hyuk.

Then, Jeon Gwang-il looked impatient.

“Did you check? Is it, is it really a holy sword?”

She nodded.

“That’s right. It says it’s a holy sword. The effects and characteristics are exactly as you said.”

“Uh uh uh,”

And looking at Joohyuk.

“This, this, you said you would lend it to me?”

“Yes, try it once and tell me what you think. You didn’t conquer the 62nd floor, right?”

“…I couldn’t do it.”

“Do it. Now.”

You have to use the item to know if it’s effective.

It is impossible for me to enter the 62nd floor.

Cossack said it was better than the light attribute and that it would go up to floor 67, so it should be around floor 62.

Please leave a review after using it.

That way, we can sell it at a good price.

“I’ll go and come back right away.”

※ ※ ※

Spot!

Nam Ga-eun entered the tower.

[Enter the 62nd floor of the Black Tower of the Republic of Korea.] [Physical abilities have been improved according to your level.] [Trait and combat skills can be used.]
Mission too.

[62nd floor mission: Kill 20 dark zombies.] [Completion time: Within 15 hours.] [Completion condition: Dark zombie 0/20.] [Failure condition: Death or abandon mission.]

Undead.

Something that shouldn’t be alive.

A dark zombie has appeared.

A tattered corpse, unarmed but with long claws and sharp teeth, quickly approaches.

Will it actually work?

The item description was accurate.

Looking at her body and sword, a soft white glow was overlaid.

However, it was not certain whether this faint light could overcome the dark aura.

The dazzlingly bright and brilliant light of light-attribute items was also helpless.

‘I have no choice but to try it myself.’

Nam Ga-eun concentrated and held the handle of the old holy sword tightly.

‘You can do it, Ga-eun! Just try.’

But it’s strange.

The light is so bright that the dark aura is not that scary.

‘Surely a strong mind? Is that so?’

She took a step forward.

“Krrrrrr,”

A dark zombie, on alert, made animal sounds.

Nam Ga-eun moved.

Spot!

After reaching right in front of the zombie with the distance-deletion skill of the inspection characteristic,

She swung the holy sword down with all her might.

Creak! Creak!

She could feel it the moment she cut it.

A critical, fatal hit had been properly triggered.

The holy sword cut through the dark aura.

Even the nails of the one who raised them rotted!

Plus, a solid head.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The collapsed corpse was even set on fire.

Even death had been annihilated.

[Dark Zombie Kill 1/20.]

“…”

The kill count had increased.

She had killed it with one stroke of her sword.

‘Did I do it right?’

She couldn’t believe it.

She had been through so much trouble just to catch a single zombie.

‘This sword was real.’

A sword that a man who looked somewhat shabby had given her to try out.

Honestly, she was half in doubt even after checking the item information.

It was not something you could sell or buy for money.

No, could you even put a price on it in the first place?

If it’s an item that can prevent the tower from collapsing.
