Joohyuk was sitting in his officetel with his eyes half-closed, staring at a blank wall. He had a great time this week. So what did Joohyuk do with two days left until the random summoning? Good board? No, it wasn’t. Simple prayer? He didn’t do that either. Perfect wall training for mental cultivation. Because he had to keep his composure. Just keep calm. Let go of all desires. A barely-obtained enhancement to a trait. He needed to welcome a proper new family member. This is the end of a long journey. All’s well that ends well.
Two days ago, Gyeondalrae said: “I have already performed a ritual to strengthen my traits. Thanks to that, I have achieved great fortune.” “However! Heaven is wary of the greedy. If you are not satisfied and ask for what you want, you will not be blessed with great fortune but rather will be punished.”
Very logical. He asked for a rice cake, and I gave it to him, but if he keeps asking for more, I shouldn’t give him a rice cake; I should give him a slap in the ear.
“So this time, I think it would be good for you to cut off your desires through mental cultivation. Don’t offer any rites or prayers, and just approach the random summoning with a peaceful mind.”
As expected, it’s Gyeondalrae. Did you just click your foot and get the position of the top priestess of the Celestial Empire? Following her advice, Joohyuk calmly began practicing wall-dancing at home. He contacted home in advance and turned off his smartphone for two days. A “Do Not Disturb” sign was also posted outside the officetel door. He also spoke with Jeon Gwang-il of the Management Office two days ago. During that process, he heard that Gerald Watson was going to arrive at Incheon Airport, so he guessed everything would be fine. He said that a ten-million-dollar contract had already been signed. The summoned persons were also temporarily suspended from summoning. They promised to meet up on that day. He devoted himself to perfect training like that. Actually, he didn’t even know what a perfect wall was. Just playing alone. That’s what Joohyuk does best.
The second day was the same. He fell asleep while staring at the wall, woke up to watch TV, and fell asleep again. Finally, today. The day when the random summon cooldown ends. A new summoner will appear soon. After summoning all of them with designated summons: “Welcome, everyone.” “Yes.” “Yes.” “…”
Everyone was in a serious, solemn mood. Greed is a no-no. Even just rare is enough. Anyway, with the current three-person system, it was said that S++ could easily get to the 50th floor.
‘But if it’s SR… the heavens will take pity on it and make it SSR…, or they’ll pretend to be crazy and make it LSSR…,’
No, no! If you’re greedy, you’ll be ruined. Joohyuk got up from his seat and moved to the center of the living room. The moment his mouth opened, the summoning began. Finally, the moment we’ve been waiting and waiting for! He was about to open his mouth with a nervous mind…,
“Dugeundugeundugeundugeundugeundugeun…”
The sound a Cossack makes with his mouth. Joohyuk suddenly got angry. “Oh my!” “Assassin, be quiet!” “Cossack, I am being dishonest!” “…I’m sorry.”
When things are going well, they always go overboard like that, overboard.
‘Hmm.’ Pull yourself together again.
“Random Summon.”
[Start random summoning.]
It began. Hwaaaat! A tiny halo of light floated in the air. It was smaller than he thought. If it keeps doing that, it’ll get bigger, right? However, Hwaaaat! A summoner appeared too quickly without any special effects. Phong!
“…uh?” “…” “…” “…”
What. Are you human? What kind of person is that? Looks like a fat hamster. A small body that reaches Joohyuk’s waist, round like a ball. White fur, short arms and legs, a small backpack on his back, and a round hat that looks like a safety helmet on his head.
“Hey, Summoner. How are you?” “…Huh? Oh, yes, yes.”
What the heck?
<Catalog: Honest and Well-Received Labyrinth Worker from the Suin Tribe> – Name: Rajix
– Grade: R (Rare)
– Type: Worker (Suin Tribe)
– Manifestation period: 10 hours
– Satisfaction rating: None.
– Re-summon waiting time: 3 hours (applies after unsummoning)
“…”
Are you a worker? Even they are not human, but rather a race of beasts. I know that the target range for summoning is humans and sub-humans. If you are a worker, you are a non-combat summoned person. That means it’s of no help at all in climbing the tower. What’s this? I’ve been doing the perfect wall for two days. Did I get a negative review because I didn’t do it properly? It wasn’t just Joohyuk. Everyone’s expression was the same. Worker Rajix also seemed to have noticed the mood. In a crawling voice:
“Whoa… should I go back?”
Ha. That innocent expression. And it’s even cute. It seems to be a hamster-based creature. My heart hurts, though.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Rajix. I’ll call you back later. I’m not available right now.” “Huh, yeah…” “Summoned.”
Spot! First of all, the first summoning failed. Can’t be helped. When would you use this? Joohyuk took out a skill cooldown reset ticket from his inventory. How to use the ticket: Tear it.
“Let’s go one more time.” “I hope you think I soldered it, but it was so cute.” “What if it’s cute? It should help Summoner Bong climb the tower.” “Summoner, things will go well this time.”
I practiced wall squats again for about an hour. This time I really took it seriously. Color is emptiness, emptiness is color.
…Still, let’s be a little greedy.
“Mr. Cossack,” “Huh?” “Knock knock knock.” “Pressure!”
Swish! Tear up the ticket.
“Random Summon.”
[Start random summoning.]
The Cossacks’ entrance followed at the same time. “Dugeundugeundugeundugeundugeundugeun…” Hwaaaaaaaaaaah! This time something is different. A colorful halo of light fills the room. A brilliant light swirled wildly in the center of the living room. This is the first time this has happened. ‘No way?’
[Achievement: Successfully summoned the first LSSR (Legend Special Super Rare) grade.]
“Omg!!!” Is what you just heard correct?
You pulled out the LSSR? ‘Is it a dream or reality?’
I’m going crazy. I really couldn’t have imagined it. Maximum dopamine levels. A thrilling feeling that runs from head to toe. Now, it’s about strengthening characteristics and such. You don’t have to worry about it at all. The party was completed by pulling out LSSR. Also achievements. Yes. I picked LSSR, so of course it’s an achievement.
[Achievement rewards are paid.]
Wow, even compensation? ‘It’s a daily routine.’ I have so much to be thankful for.
[From now on, you can enter the tower twice a day.]
“…”
No, you don’t have to give this kind of compensation. You’re telling me to work twice a day.
Anyway, let’s welcome LSSR. A halo of light gradually taking the shape of a human being.
Welcome, Russual Pisohwanin.
Papapapapapat! The shape was clearly revealed.
“Oh!”
An old man with white hair and a white beard, wearing an old-fashioned uniform, appeared with a leisurely posture, carrying a bundle on his back.
‘Poetry, the fresh spirit is in such a shabby place.’ Joohyuk quickly checked the catalog items.
REAR AT LUNACAVE.COM
<Catalog: The greatest person in the past and present, a great enemy of the martial arts world, the most evil person in the world of martial arts, the mastermind behind the Sisan Blood Sea.>
‘···.’
Why are the catalog modifiers so creepy?
In the martial arts world, the Bloody Sea of Sisan, the most evil.
The name is a combination of the Chinese characters for madness (狂) and devil (魔), making it Gwangma.
It’s a little scary.
So I bowed ninety degrees and greeted him politely.
“Hello. Nice to meet you. My name is Summoner Bong Joo-hyuk.”
“It is an honor to meet you, Nobu. Please call me Gwangma.”
Wow!
Be polite too.
I don’t know why people call this person a madman.
The background story of the mad horse suddenly comes to Joo-hyuk’s mind.
Scenes passing through my head at the same time.
A madman bursting into flames with his face stained with blood and flesh, countless warriors dying in his hands.
Gulp.
I’m a little anxious.
Still, I’ll make one fight that’s going to be amazing.
Since I am the subject of the summons, I will at least obey.
Besides, there’s another crazy summoner.
I’m talking about a crazy assassin.
The mad horse opened its mouth.
“I guess the authors are my former colleagues.”
“Yes, that’s right. I’ll introduce you to···,”
Hmm?
Why are you doing that?
A hawk with a pale face.
Cossacks on high alert.
Gobang froze in place.
“That’s enough. I don’t want to talk to those insignificant people.”
“···Uh.”
A feeling of anxiety that creeps up on you from time to time.
The madman said, slowly walking towards the veranda window.
“Summoner, may I ask you a few questions?”
“Oh, of course.”
“How many towers have collapsed in this world so far?”
Breakdown?
That’s it.
“Just one collapsed.”
“That’s fortunate. What is the highest floor you’ve reached so far?”
“It’s the 67th floor. It’s the floor where the undead appear.”
“Aha! So there was still one.”
“Yes?”
“Once we get to the 70th floor, it’s going to start collapsing everywhere. Isn’t that right?”
Joohyuk didn’t answer.
I hate to even imagine it.
“As the Summoner knows, the collapse of the tower is a sign of destruction. The collapsed tower will be driven deep into the ground like a large nail and change this world. Of course, it is okay for now since it is just one.”
The madman, who had been looking outside through the window, slowly turned around and continued speaking.
“Do you know what the dirtiest thing about conquering the top is?”
“Well, I’m fine too···,”
“These are the nationalities divided into towers. Each Awakened can only attack the tower of their own country. It’s a truly cunning scheme.”
A tower with a fixed nationality.
This is why many people found it strange.
It’s still like that now.
“At least Summoner, your country will be safe. Even if you take those sloppy guys with you, you will have no problem climbing the tower.”
The tone of speech is becoming increasingly ominous.
“But what if only the Summoner’s country is safe? The towers of other countries will all collapse, and the entire world will be ruined.”
“I, Nobu, do not want this world to end. I came into this world like this, and if possible, I want to stay with you, the Summoner, for a long time.”
That’s a bit···,
“So I will help you.”
“···What?”
“I mean, world conquest. Putting this world under your feet, Summoner.”
Out of the blue···,
Conquering the world.
It’s not like he’s some kind of mastermind trying to rule the world.
Joohyuk just blinked.
“We must unite the world into one nation. Then you and I can conquer all the towers in the world together. By summoning me, you also received the benefit of re-entering the tower.”
Huh?
This is amazing.
Whether it is temporary naturalization or voluntary naturalization, unite each country as one.
For example, if all the countries on Earth were to unify into the Republic of Korea, Joo-hyuk would be able to enter any tower.
Conquer the world.
A cliché material that appears only in movies, novels, and comics.
But what world conquest could be more justified than this?
“Let’s start by putting your country in order. I will kill the rulers who are arrogant and only fill their own stomachs. Even if their number is in the hundreds of thousands, I will hand over all power to you, Summoner.”
“Then we should go to another country. Starting with the country with the lowest level of progress in climbing the tower, if we kill the powerful people and subjugate the countries one by one, the point of destruction will be much further away.”
I just realized it now.
The identity of anxiety.
He was a crazy gentleman.
He was still crazy even after he died.
Compared to the author, Cossack is a simple, normal person.
Nationalism?
This kind of nationalism disappears as soon as you drink it.
Support, support.
“I will be the one to get the blood on my hands, Summoner. You will become the leader of this world and create a single nation.”
Is it even possible?
Above all, I don’t want it.
Joohyuk barely managed to speak, holding his pounding heart.
“···Don’t do that. It’s an order. I don’t want to be the president or anything.”
“I must do it. I cannot follow orders. I must do it to save you and your world.”
And then with a proud smile.
“These are the three principles and third article of the Old Man’s teachings.”
This guy···,
“Okay, I’ll go out now. I don’t have time to kill the leaders and politicians of this country and make you the top power in this country. So···,”
That was when.
“Stop!”
Gyeondalrae overcame her fear and shouted, lifting the bell.
Tinkle!
“That kind of thing does not justify the third clause. What you are trying to do is against the will of heaven···,”
“Weather? You stinking wet bitch, you know nothing when you’re just shaking a bell! It’s all for the Summoner.”
Then the Cossacks also,
“Shut up! That’s for the Summoner’s sake? I can’t agree.”
“Hahahaha! Didn’t you also get blood on your hands protecting the summoner? But what?”
“I only eliminated direct threats.”
“I am like you, but the scope of the threat factor is wider.”
Gobang also came forward.
“Obey the summoner’s words, or I will kill you.”
“···How absurd. How dare someone who has barely made it to Hwagyeong kill me?”
A madman whose expression changed in an instant.
Woooooooo···,
A storm of energy raged in the living room.
An overwhelming, unbearable pressure pressed down on the three summoned individuals.
“Whoa!”
“Ugh!”
“Profit!”
Of course, except for Joo-hyuk.
“Yes. I will kill you. Then there will be at least 100 days of silence. Ah! Since there needs to be someone to guard the summoner while I am away, I will kill just one as an example. If that is not enough, I will kill one more.”
Slurp.
I don’t know where it came from, but the mad horse suddenly took up a dark sword and aimed it.
“Who’s going to die? The bell-shaking bitch? The cocky murderer? The foolish bear?”
That was when.
“Mr. Madman?”
Gwangma turns his eyes and looks at Joohyuk with a compassionate smile.
“I knew you would stop me. However, this is also an expression of the third rule of the three principles of this old man, his loyalty to protect only the summoner.”
“Hey, I didn’t call you to stop you.”
“Huh? Then what are you trying to say?”
Joohyuk muttered quietly.
“Release the summons of the mad horse.”
“This···,”
Spot!
The disappearing madman.
What if you are LSSR?
Only then were the summoned persons released from the pressure.
“Phew.”
“Haa, haa.”
“Gasp, gasp, oh, I thought I was going to die.”
It wasn’t just luck.
I pulled out something that shouldn’t have been there.
“Salt! Where is the salt?”
Gyeondalrae fetched salt from the sink shelf without hesitation.
“Thump thump!”
Sprinkle it on the spot where the mad horse was.
Open the status window directly from the catalog items.
“No minus stars? Or even zero.”
“Unfortunately, 1 point is the lowest score.”
Honestly, it’s not worth even one point.
[The satisfaction rating of the mad horse was given as 1 point.]
Revenge was achieved with 1 point.
Still, it’s scary.
I wonder if the summoned person’s level does not indicate strength, but rather the level of madness…
Rather than focusing on strengthening traits, I should focus on random summoning.
Joohyuk slumped down on the sofa with an exhausted expression.
My heart is still in shock.
The three people who had returned half-conscious also sat on the floor.
“I will never call you.”
But the Cossacks.
“Excuse me, Summoner Bong.”
“Why?”
“No matter how much of a punk he is, he’ll still be useful inside the tower.”
“Even if there is a use for it, I don’t use it.”
“Still, I think it would be better to take some time to think about it.”
The speed is really good.
Have you forgotten that I tried to kill you a little while ago?
“The girl’s thoughts are the same. Even a rusty nail becomes fine if you grind it out.”
“I think so too. You have to wear it when you go up to a high floor.”
Even the Gobang and the Gyeondalrae.
“Okay, I’ll think about it.”
Time passed.
I just sat there silently trying to calm my startled heart.
The summoned people were the same.
After a long time,
Joohyuk opened the status window again
[Catalog]: John Cossack/ Savage Meat Shield/ Longhorn/ Lazix/ Mad Horse
“Catalog items can’t be deleted?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
What a waste.
If I could delete it, I would have deleted it right away.
‘···It’s been 3 hours?’
Click on the Rajix button to rate it 5 stars.
[Lajix’s satisfaction rating was given a 5-point rating.]
At the same time,
“Special Summon of Rajix.”
[Rajix has been designated as summoned.]
“Huh? Why 5 points?”
“Welcome, Mr. Rajix.”
“Wow, are you coming in?”
“Of course! We’re colleagues from now on. Hahaha.”
My heart feels purified by seeing Lajix’s cute appearance.
“Oh my! When I see you again, you are an angel, an angel!”
When Joo-hyuk started to make a fuss,
“That’s right. He looks like he’ll be good at his job.”
“How can you be so cute?”
“Let’s do better in the future. I’m Gobang.”
Lajix is at a loss as to what to do with the pouring attention.
“Come on, let’s throw a party to celebrate becoming colleagues.”
“Huh?”
Hey hey! Hey hey!
The round, round Rajix rose up like a volleyball in the center of the living room.
If this continues, someone might stick a spike in it.
“Wow! It’s high. It’s so high.”
Well, even if a worker doesn’t help in the strategy, he’s a hundred or a thousand times better than a mad horse.
‘But is ability really only for the role of a worker?’
