Joo-hyuk was on the phone with Team Leader Jeon Gwang-il.
“It’s late, but congratulations on clearing the 63rd floor.”
“Hahaha, thank you. It’s all thanks to Bong Player.”
“What? It’s because Nam Ga-eun is good, but isn’t she definitely more talented than Yoo Cheol-min?”
“It’s been like that since long ago. We were blind and gave him all the reinforcement runes and stuff, so he never saw the light. Of course, he’s nothing compared to Bong Player.”
“Since we’re talking about Yoo Cheol-min, did he also live in our officetel?”
“No. It was the △△ Apartment in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul. In the top-floor penthouse.”
Joo-hyuk also took a look as he passed by.
A 30-story, single-building residence.
A place where top celebrities, third-generation conglomerates, and IT industry CEOs live.
“The top-floor penthouse of the △△ apartment in Cheongdam-dong. Wow! You lived in a nice place, and yet you naturalized as a Japanese citizen after enjoying such benefits.”
“I still get angry when I think about that guy.”
“They must have left everything in the apartment in such a hurry.”
“Yes, I just took my valuables. I haven’t cleaned it up yet because I’m so busy. If you’re interested in that apartment…”
“Oh, no, I’m satisfied with the officetel.”
Joo-hyuk hung up the phone after chatting with Jeon Gwang-il about this and that.
“Have you heard it somewhere?”
“Pressure!”
“Go and bring just a few of the things you were using. Something that won’t be noticeable even if it’s gone.”
“What about something like a remote control? It looks like it’s been used a lot.”
“I guess it’ll be okay.”
“I’m going out.”
Swish.
Cossack, an assassin, disappeared with stealth and invisibility.
The door might be locked, but can you open it?
If you can’t open it, you’ll have to cut the iron door and get in.
After sending the Cossacks away, Joo-hyuk also prepared to go out.
When he went down to the first floor, an employee came out of the security office.
“Player Bong Joo-hyuk, are you going out?”
“Yes, I’m planning to go to my parents’ house.”
“I will prepare tea for you.”
“Thank you, always.”
“Hahaha, no. That’s our job.”
Joo-hyuk’s new home.
A new apartment received as a condition of the Elite Team contract.
Although it is far below Yoo Cheol-min’s penthouse, it is still a world apart from where he lived before.
The family finished moving.
Joo-hyuk entered by pressing the password he had found out in advance.
“Wow! This house is nice. Hmm, the smell of a new house.”
Mother Hong Geum-ja welcomed Joo-hyuk.
“Welcome. Have you eaten?”
“No. I came here to eat.”
“Okay, sit down. I’ll serve it to you quickly.”
Father Bong Su-cheol was also at home.
Temporarily discharged upon hearing that Joo-hyuk was coming.
“Father, how are you?”
“I’ve gained weight, and my bones are almost healed. I think I’ll be discharged soon.”
“Hehehe, do you know whose fault this is? It’s all thanks to having a good son.”
Moment!
Father and mother’s expressions darkened.
“···Why? Is something wrong?”
“What’s so bad about that? It feels good to be living a life of luxury after sending your child to a place of death.”
“Hey, I’m fine. I’m climbing while taking great care of myself.”
It’s true.
When you try to catch a monster, the Cossack frowns, the Bear cries.
Yesterday I couldn’t even touch a single troll hair.
“Don’t you know, Father? If there’s even the slightest hint of danger, I immediately get out.”
“Well, you look just like me.”
“Isn’t there a bit of my mother’s genes mixed in there too?”
“Are you bragging?”
“Yes.”
Moment!
Bang!
A bloody bastard burst in through the door.
“You said your brother is here? Where are you? Brother, brother!”
“Stop barking like a puppy.”
“Oh! You were eating? Anyway, you’re on the Elite Team too.”
“Yes.”
“Then have you seen Nam Ga-eun’s face?”
“I saw it.”
He even hugged me, you punk.
“Just give me one autograph. I’d like to take a picture with you, but that seems too greedy.”
“Mine?”
“Why? No? I guess we’re not that close. Well, I wonder if you’ve ever talked to Nam Ga-eun, the player you’re talking to?”
This kid···
“Bring me some paper.”
“Here.”
Joo-hyuk signed his name on a piece of paper with one stroke of his hand.
“···What are you doing now?”
“My signature.”
“No, it’s a waste of paper.”
“Just have it. Who knows? I might become more famous than Nam Ga-eun.”
“Brother, are you serious?”
“Uh.”
What an idiot.
Why don’t you know that it’s the truth?
“Should I give it to my father too?”
“Get it and use it.”
Mom also shook her head from side to side.
No, it’s my son’s autograph!
It’s really disappointing.
“···Okay. I’ll get Nam Ga-eun’s autograph. How many do you need?”
Then,
“I want one too.”
Father too.
“Son, I need 10, no, 20.”
Mom too.
‘Ha,’
No one knows.
How great of a man Bong Joo-hyuk is.
Joo-hyuk on the phone with Team Leader Jeon Gwang-il.

Mom too,
‘Huh,’
No one knows.
How great of a man Bong Joo-hyuk is.
You’ve cleared 30 consecutive S++ floors.
What can I do?
In a situation where it can’t even be revealed. Let me get an autograph.
Still, I feel good because it seems like my family is doing well.
Now the shackles of poverty are far away.
You have to catch me and show me what real luxury is.
× × ×
Joo-hyuk spent some time at his parents’ house and then returned to his officetel.
Tirik, as I opened the door and went in, Cossack, who was watching TV, suddenly got up,
“Chung! Are you back?”
“Yes, are you finished already?”
“Mission accomplished.”
“Oh! How did you open the door?”
“It was open. There were police inside the house.”
“You didn’t get caught, did you?”
“Who am I? I am Susual. Susual!”
As expected, the Cossack Ssusual.
Joo-hyuk said as he received the daily necessities of Yoo-cheol-min that Cossack had given him.
“I’m sorry, but I think I’ll have to leave early today. I have something else to do.”
“Yes.”
Send the Cossack to Unsummon and open the status window to check the catalog.
[Catalog]: John Cossack/ Savage Meat Shield/ The Bearded Man After all three gave it a 5-star rating,
“Summon the designated guardian angel.”
[Gyeondalrae has been summoned.] “Confucius, you have given me so many stars. I am at a loss as to how I can ever repay your kindness.”
A kite walking lightly and bowing as if it were going to fly away.
I plan to conquer the 31st floor tomorrow.
The mission is to catch a monster called the Minotaur.
It was a large monster section.
New monster.
A half-human, half-bull, upright-walking, cow-headed monster.
I heard he carries a giant axe.
I want to try it out.
It’s been a while since I’ve used Shadow Step.
If I keep doing this, I’ll forget how to use it.
Now the object of persuasion is not the Cossacks.
Kyeon Dal-rae, you have to convince her.
Even though she’s a woman, she’s a summoned person.
So there isn’t much of a burden.
I studied and practiced a lot.
Let’s dig deep and exploit the weakness.
First, the necessity of catching monsters.
“Hmm, Princess Kyeondalrae.”
“Please speak, Your Majesty.”
“I was born a man, and although I can’t rule the country and bring peace to the world, I can’t be afraid of a mere monster, right?”
“No. How can you say such a thing? Prince Bong is a gentleman who is capable of governing the country and bringing peace to the world.”
“What kind of gentleman are you if you can’t catch a single monster?”
“···.”
A person who cannot answer.
Even though she is a princess, she is still young.
How can you call yourself a man if you can’t convince even one middle or high school student?
So with a very gloomy expression.
“I have skills, enough defensive items, and leveled up, but how can I not deal with just one monster?”
“That, that’s not it···,”
“I’m such a coward that I can’t even refute someone’s words.”
“···How can you say such a thing? Girl, my heart is torn into a thousand, ten thousand pieces.”
It’s going well.
Next is the seduction operation.
“···The ice cream was delicious, wasn’t it?”
“Yes?”
Gyeondal-rae’s expression of not knowing what to say to the sudden question.
“There’s an ice cream shop I know well that has as many as 30 different flavors.”
“West, thirty?”
“Strawberry, chocolate, cherry, cheese, yogurt, mint… Wow! There are so many I can’t even remember them all.”
Gyeondal-rae swallowed hard.
“Have you ever tried macaroons? They’re a Western pastry, but they’re chewy and really sweet. How about cake? The soft whipped cream is just amazing!”
Even though she’s a celestial girl, she’s still a celestial girl.
I was just blankly staring at Joo-hyuk’s mouth.
After all, the food that captivates a girl is dessert rather than hot soup.
“I’ll catch exactly five. I’ll save face as a gentleman, and you, princess, can eat as much dessert as I want.”
A hesitant Gyeondal-rae who opens and closes her lips.
And then.
“Then, just one···,”
“Let’s do it in threes! Cleanly!”
“···I was worried that the Master might be in danger,”
“There are Cossacks and goblins, and the sound of the princess’s drums and bells.”
“···.”
Are you passing?
“I understand. Little girl, I will follow your will.”
“I promised.”
“Girl, I will always keep my promises.”
It passed.
“I always keep my promises. I brought what I told you before. The belongings that Yoo Cheol-min used.”
The look in Gyeondalrae’s eyes turned cold in an instant.
“Are you talking about that Japanese guy?”
“Is it so.”
Joo-hyuk handed her Yoo Cheol-min’s daily necessities in a plastic bag.
“Please wait a moment. It will be over soon.”
“Take your time. Take your time.”
Suddenly, Gyeondal-rae took out a small silver sword from her pocket and cut her finger.
“Omg!”
Are you not sick?
Red, fresh blood flowing from the hand.
“Oh my, princess! You said there was no harm done?”
How much does it hurt?
Frantically, I took the band-aid out of the medicine bottle and tried to put it on.
“I’m okay. I’m not in pain.”
Then he picked up the remote control inside the bag with his other hand.
Swish swish swish!
Unknown drawings and symbols etched in blood on plastic surfaces.
It was drawn densely.
After a while,
Pictures and symbols that glow red.
“It’s all over.”
“···It’s simpler than I thought. Except for the bloodshed.”
“Can blowing away karma be compared to blowing away flesh? It is simply leaving it to the judgment of heaven.”
“Ah!”
“If the sin is light, it will only result in light misfortune, but if the sin is heavy, it will result in great misfortune.”
Fighting! Yoo Cheol-min!
I hope my sins are not too serious.
Now let’s conquer the 31st floor.
Let’s go slowly.
Tank, dealer, buffer, 3-person system,
You can safely go up to the 40th floor.
There is no need to use the skill cooldown reset ticket right away.
It’s going to go up slowly anyway.
It’s not urgent.
If it was urgent, I would have written it right away.
What about the 41st floor?
When the cool time comes back, pick one more person.
If the new summoner’s grade does not meet your expectations, you can use a ticket to draw him again.
Then it will work.
‘Huh! That’s a perfect plan.’
If you can strengthen your traits once during this time, it will be the icing on the cake.
I heard there are runes for strengthening characteristics, but where can I get them?
× × ×
A major broadcasting station in Japan
Yoo Cheol-min appeared as a guest on the special broadcast.
When he, a naturalized citizen and top Japanese player, appeared on a broadcast, the viewer ratings skyrocketed.
An announcer who speaks Korean well was mobilized, and even interpreters were brought in.
“Ryu Sang, thank you for taking the time to do this interview.”
“You’re welcome.”
After the formal greetings were exchanged:
“Are you planning to conquer the 57th floor today?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“I think there’s still a lot of time left to attack.”
“Hahaha, that’s right. There’s no problem taking it slow, but—”
Looking at the camera skillfully:
“I wanted to send words of encouragement to our people who are feeling depressed due to the various incidents these days.”
The announcer conveyed his thoughts through real-time interpretation.
“That’s amazing! I’m proud as a fellow Japanese citizen.”
“Don’t worry. Japan is safe. As long as I’m here, the tower will never collapse.”
“My heart is pounding. So, when and where do you plan on attacking?”
“There’s no need to drag this out. Let’s go right now.”
“Oh!”
This broadcast was planned by the Kawaguchi Cabinet government.
Yoo Cheol-min’s desire for recognition and the Kawaguchi Cabinet’s intention to raise its approval rating coincided.
So, they decided to broadcast the entire process of the successful strategy live, from entering the tower, exiting, and then revealing the body cam footage.
A program planned to be broadcast live for a total of 10 hours.
While Yoo Cheol-min is conquering the 57th floor, singers and entertainers perform until the conquest is over.
In between, they also showed a highlight video of his successful conquest of the 57th floor of the Korean Black Tower when he was Korean.
When Yoo Cheol-min conquered the 57th floor of the Korean Black Tower, his conquest record was approximately 8 hours.
It’ll be much faster now that he’s leveled up.
I think it should take about 5 hours.
Although we cannot watch the strategy video in real-time, we plan to connect the body cam that was filmed as soon as he leaves the tower and broadcast it throughout Japan.
The Kawaguchi Cabinet, whose approval ratings have fallen, will likely get a boost from this show.
It was a perfect plan.
“Then I will go.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the audience, announcers, panelists, and staff all cheered and clapped.
Yoo Cheol-min smiled proudly.
‘Yes, this is it.’
It’s been a long time since he felt such cheers.
These days, Koreans are flocking to my SNS account and pouring out all kinds of ridicule and malicious comments.
Actually, there was a good time in Korea too.
When he joined the elite team and climbed the peak faster than anyone else, the Korean people also cheered for him.
Not only was he treated as a hero, but he was also given a salary he had never received in his life, a spacious apartment with a view of the Han River, a nice car, and even immunity from prosecution.
They also covered up the drunk driving hit-and-run incident he had committed on his behalf, and when he was arrested by the police on charges of assault for punching a hostess at a room salon who refused to go to a second round, the law firm hired by the management office handled the case.
He also frequently committed other minor crimes, but they were not recorded.
Those were really good times.
If there had been even the slightest possibility of conquering the 66th floor, I wouldn’t have naturalized.
Well, it’s the same here.
When signing a contract with Japan, it was also stipulated that they would grant immunity from arrest and prosecution for crimes.
‘Should we start entering now?’
But right then:
‘Huh?’
Yoo Cheol-min tilted his head.
He felt strange.
His hands felt numb, and his head also started to hurt a little.
‘Am I not feeling well?’
Let’s get some rest after we get back.
57th floor?
What’s difficult?
The question is how much time can be shortened.
You can just go and come back quickly.
This is the floor I successfully conquered at level 57.
Also, through countless repetitive missions, I learned the patterns.
Currently, level 66.
When you enter the tower, your physical abilities are adjusted to your level rather than the floor.
There’s no way you could fail a mission that’s 9 floors down!
Spot!
It was a live broadcast.
In an instant, Yoo Cheol-min disappeared from the TV screen.
As soon as Yoo Cheol-min disappeared, the announcer spoke:
“To all Japanese people watching, I hope you all join forces to support Ryu Sang.”
Japanese singers came out and sang a song with the comment, “Ganbare Ryu-san!”
In between, videos of Yoo Cheol-min’s activities were also shown.
Has about an hour passed?
Moment!
Whoa whoa!
A halo of light gathered inside a broadcasting station set.
No way?
It’s only been an hour, and already the conquest has been successful?
Papat!
Yoo Cheol-min, who seemed to have left the tower, reappeared.
But it was a little strange.
A look of defeat was clearly visible on Yoo Cheol-min’s face.
The announcer approached quickly:
“Ryu Sang, ···, what’s the strategy?”
Yoo Cheol-min took a deep breath and said,
He took a bottle of healing potion out of his inventory and drank it in one gulp.
“It must have been a pretty tough fight.”
“···Fuck!”
“To?”
Yoo Cheol-min turned around and left the set.
“Ryu Sang! Ryu Sang! Hey, where are you going?”
He didn’t even respond.
Eventually, the broadcast was stopped.
Instead, animations began to appear on TV screens.
And a few hours later:
Breaking news began to arrive throughout Japan.
<Player Yoo Cheol-min fails to conquer the 57th floor of the Japanese Black Tower.>
LUNA-CAVE
