The next morning.

While leaving home to work the day shift at the convenience store, Joo-hyuk called his father.

“Father, are you working hard on your rehabilitation? Has your hip joint healed well?”

  • “Do you think that will heal easily? I’ve been lying down for a day and a half. Why did you call? The house isn’t far, so I’ll come and visit you in person.”

“I’m a bit busy. Let’s go out and eat together next time.”

My hometown is also in Seoul.

Two rooms, one kitchen, and one bathroom.

The reason Joo-hyuk started living alone was that the house was too small.

I have two grown sons.

When my brothers were young, they shared a room, but as they grew up, it became quite inconvenient.

  • “Is everything okay?”

“What could be wrong? It’s just because I don’t have money. Haa, I wish I could wake up at times like this.”

When I took a quick look…

  • “What are you going to do after waking up? There’s a 0.01% chance that it will happen, but even if it does… you won’t do it!”

“Yes?”

  • “How did you get into the tower? A guy who looks exactly like me…”

“···.”

His father was certain that Joo-hyuk would not be active as a player.

It’s not a wrong judgment.

We know each other better than anyone else.

“Well, that’s not wrong.”

  • “Stop dreaming nonsense and come home soon. Let me see your face.”

The reason Bong Joo-hyuk is a petit bourgeois man with a safety-first mindset is because of a kind of family history(?).

What about other guys who inherited the same genes?

Call your younger brother, Bong Min-hyeok.

“···Anyway, Min-hyeok, if you awaken, will you enter the tower?”

  • “Are you crazy? You’re never going to go in there. You’re just going to spend three months quietly and then give up?”

“Then, not.”

  • “What about your brother? He’s a man who guides others.”

“This kid?”

Well, where do the paternal genes go?

  • “Anyway, please bear with me for a little longer. I will graduate quickly, start a family, and I will also repay the favor I owe you, hyung.”

“···You speak well.”

  • “I’m sorry. And thank you.”

“Okay, just study hard.”

Call your mom too.

“Mom.”

  • “Yes, son, why?”

“I hope everything is going well?”

  • “Yeah. I’m doing well, other than getting fired from work yesterday.”

Huh?

“It doesn’t seem like things are going well… but why?”

  • “It’s because of that damn customer. He said he’d give me a good customer satisfaction rating and asked me to clean up all the trash and dirty things in the house. How could I just sit still? I took it! That’s why I got fired.”

“Ahhhh···.”

  • “Don’t worry. I’ll find another job soon. Don’t worry about us and live well. And don’t even think about sending money anymore.”

My mother is bold and brave.

A personality that cannot stand injustice.

Because of that, my father fell head over heels in love with my mother.

No wonder my father’s greatest achievement in life was asking my mother out on a date.

‘Ahem.’

My pride is hurt.

The wretchedness of paternal genes.

‘···I must have my mother’s genes mixed in. Yeah! Of course.’

That’s for sure.

So I went into the tower too.

‘Anyway, I have to keep climbing.’

My mom also got laid off from her job, so the family’s finances were probably cut off.

I heard that the first to fifth floors are very easy.

‘They said the mortality rate was 0%.’

A kind of tutorial, a practice game.

‘After going up to the 5th floor···.’

If it’s okay, keep going.

If it doesn’t work, then don’t do it.
