Chapter 197 Hidden Quest

A word from Rilka.

sign of doom.

I didn’t expect the word “destruction” to come out.

“It is a kind of warning. Struggling hard! Mumble and everything will disappear!”

“That means…”

I lifted Deokchun.

you this guy

“As expected, you are a spirit creature!”

“The Ark?”

Isn’t it?

If it wasn’t for Deokchun, I wouldn’t have known that we were entering a transition period of extinction.

If you stay idle without thinking, you lose your place to return.

Something that motivates and keeps you motivated to climb at the same time.

A sense of crisis can also be the driving force of power.

When I think about it, I overcame many crises because I met Deokchun.

A wonderful boy!

“Ahhh!”

“Deok Chun!”

After reading my thoughts, Deokchun opened his arms and I held him in my arms.

Rilka looks at her with a confused expression.

A face that says ‘You’re sick’.

Uh huh, it’s not like you’re doing it with an innocent face.

“Hmm, I’m still glad.”

“what?”

“Sometimes there are people who kill chaos spirits, saying it’s an ominous sign. I was wondering if I could escape destruction if I died.”

“Wow, that’s a bit…”

Isn’t that too much?

It’s just a sign though. Even if you think rationally, killing a chaos property pet will not change the result.

Of course, the tower is such an unusual place, so you can try it just in case.

It may have been that much of a crisis.

I don’t think so.

Our Deokchun is King God Youngmul.

That’s it.

The content itself is serious.

Haven’t you already seen it indirectly? What will become of the destroyed world?

There was no law in our world not to be like that.

To be honest, it’s more likely that way.

NPCs. By our current world standards, the place where there were strong people who did not even exist as a comparison target has become like that, but would it be different with us.

You can’t give up.

You should try to struggle as much as possible.

“What does it mean to be in the transitional period of destruction exactly?”

“hmm. A lot more gates open, the environment changes slightly, and the level of monsters that appear goes up? It is a process that literally leads to destruction.”

“It means to be confused.”

“that’s right. After all, your world has lasted a long time.”

“hmm?”

What do you mean by holding out for a long time?

Rilka crosses her arms and frowns.

“Has it been a little over 10 years since the tower appeared in your world?”

“It’s been 13 years.”

Because a cataclysm happened when I was in middle school.

There won’t be anyone here who doesn’t remember that time.

“13 years is too long. If it’s short, it’s 6 years, but if it’s long, it’s 8 years. It’s not normal. Someone messed up.”

A thought passed by Rilka’s words.

large guild. The reason why they reduced the number of hunters came to mind.

The more hunters come out, the more frequent the gates become.

Maybe because of that?

Are you saying that the actions of the large guild were correct?

Then what will happen to what I did?

when unpleasant sensations arise.

“I don’t know who you are, but you idiot. Transition cannot be avoided. that it will come eventually You have to raise your climber level as much as possible before coming.”

Tuk-tuk. Rilka, who was hitting the bed with her tail, pouted her lips.

“Strangely, your world starts transitioning late, and the climbing kids aren’t very cool. There are a lot of kids who are kicked out soon after coming in.”

“As expected, I was right!”

I jumped up from my seat.

I was scared for a moment. I wondered if what I did was a threat to humanity.

Yes, what would you do if you wrote a shortcut?

You may be able to avoid it now, but there is no future.

The moment when you open your chest confidently and feel happy.

Rilka provided one more piece of information.

“That’s also true, as we enter the transitional period, fewer people are invited to the tower.”

“uh?”

“Each world is different, but from some point on, there will be no new people entering the Tower. A sign that the tower must be broken only by those who entered.”

I opened my mouth.

Nothing else matters.

That’s what’s important.

No one enters the tower?

Then, you have to clear the countless gates with only a limited number of hunters.

people die

Whether by accident, disease, or monsters.

The gate gradually increases, but when the number of hunters decreases.

“Did that mean that we entered a transitional period?”

gulp.

swallowed saliva

It’s a much more serious situation than you think.

“Umm… if it’s really short, it’s 2 years, usually 4 years, if it’s long, about 6 years, there will be no people entering the tower at all. There is no need to be in too much of a hurry.”

“Is it the tower standard time?”

“Standards outside of anning. The time in the tower is twice as fast as outside, so the time must be longer.”

that’s kinda lucky

that there is still some leeway.

I understand now.

When Alios left the tower, he said the world had already been destroyed.

It took him 19 years to climb to the 99th floor.

It took too long.

It was a time when the world, which had entered a period of transition, would be destroyed.

good night. Let’s calm down.

It is true that there is a time limit.

But there is no need to act hastily.

I’m climbing the top faster than anyone else right now.

I reached the 50th floor in less than half a year.

The higher you go, the harder it gets, and I don’t know what kind of threat there will be.

‘can do.’

let’s believe in ourselves

There are NPCs who help me, and there are several powers.

Deokchun is also by my side.

Thanks to the strategy, there is also a late start that climbs smoothly.

There are members who are as talented as me.

“Rilka.”

“why?”

“Can we prevent destruction by clearing the 100th floor?”

“I heard that, but I don’t know exactly. Because I’ve never been to the 100th floor.”

Well, remaining as an NPC means that you haven’t cleared the tower.

At the same time, it was proof that the world he was in was destroyed.

Come to think of it.

“What floor did you go up to?”

I had never asked this question to Rilka until now.

Although she was being easy on her, Rilka was wary of Alios as well.

“me? The 99th floor because I climbed with Kildereth?”

The guy who blinked his eyes said indifferently.

The 99th floor?

How is it that there are only kids who have climbed high all around me?

If Rilka is on the 99th floor, then Kilderless is also on the 99th floor.

Is it really this many or just playing with each other?

“Uh-huh! How is it! Do you have any respect for me?”

“Yeah no.”

-Fuck!

“It hurts!”

Where are you being cheeky?

Whatever it is, Rilka is a nuisance to me.

I am also planning to go up to the 99th floor and beyond.

Anyway, thanks to you, I learned an important fact.

What’s left.

“Shall we talk about the contract we talked about at the beginning?”

“Right. contract! This is also related to overexertion. Ehehehe.”

The guy who takes something out of his arms.

Did you keep carrying it?

Preparedness is thorough.

“Come on, sign it!”

“Read some.”

Whatever the contract, you need to look carefully.

I skimmed through the contents.

“Complete the quest? You decided to finish all the quests you gave me anyway. No, what is the guy who gives you the forced quests doing this in the first place?”

“Look at the back too!”

Have you signed the contract on both sides?

It’s unnecessarily frugal.

I scratched my head and looked behind me.

eyes narrow

“The reward for clearing the next Rilka’s Request quest is to become a successor?”

“I also need to find an heir. I hate the top! want to go out! I think you can. Now is the time to start looking for them… I think other NPCs will start moving too?”

indeed.

Is this what it means to have the maximum liking?

Well, Alios is a special case, but usually he will select a successor this way.

By giving impossible quests, building trust, and raising intimacy.

The country would have done the same.

‘Because NPCs in the tower only have one chance to select a successor.’

Alios also said. If the heir clears the tower, he can be free.

It’s your last chance to break free from the system.

I don’t know the specific process.

I looked at Rilka blankly.

If I ask him, will he answer?

“I heard that if the heir clears the 100th floor, he will be free, but how does it work?”

“I don’t know either!”

“What do you know?”

“Because the successor has never conquered the tower.”

“Wow… huh?”

Did you hear me wrong?

No one has broken the 100th floor?

“no. Whether heirs or climbers have reached the 100th floor?”

“As far as I know, no. Yes, yes, it is said that it is in the past, but it is more like a ghost story. If there was, then one of the NPCs should know about it.”

“Does anyone know?”

“huh. At least not among the NPCs I met.”

Rilka, who was wagging her tail, tilted her head and thought.

“Isn’t there any other information, even if it’s true? If you’re out of the tower, I can’t tell you. It could have been done systematically.”

“That’s right too.”

Even if there are NPCs who have gone outside through the successor, they cannot inform the people in the tower of the fact.

“So are you going to do it or not? You’re not going to abandon me and go to another NPC, are you? How good I have been! Make a contract, oh oh oh.”

back to the point.

I checked the contract.

Certainly, being an heir would help.

It’s like having one more power.

You can also get chaos levels.

Whatever it is, if the chaos level does not exceed 100 points, you cannot challenge the 100th floor, so you have to pack everything you can.

I honestly don’t want to see him locked up in the tower because I’m close with Rilka.

Nothing bad.

I don’t have it.

“Why me?”

I had a question.

As Rilka roams around the tower relatively freely, there must be many people who have seen it.

There must have been some great people among them.

As Lee Jun-seok said last time, there are people who are already climbing the upper floors.

If you act cautiously, it is also a way to find a successor among those who will come later.

That it doesn’t have to be me.

Let’s think objectively.

If I were an NPC, would they make me their successor?

‘Has a lot of authority and many skills. He’s growing well and his relationship with NPCs isn’t bad. I also got a set of fall lines, so I’m adjusting my equipment. I don’t want to think too much about disguising my identity as Petit Gongdu, so I pass. There is also Deokchun, a spiritual creature, and it also has the chaos value that is usually obtained from the 60th floor.’

Are you okay?

As much as I’ve known her since the 10th floor, Rilka also knows a lot about me.

That it’s annoying enough.

More than anything.

‘I have infinite coins.’

I don’t know how long it will take, but if there’s a person with a high chance of conquering the 100th floor, wouldn’t it be me?

chewed his lips

Would it be better to say

If you let them know that there are infinite coins, you might be able to help a lot of NPCs.

You can become the successor of various NPCs and gain more power and become stronger.

Of course, there will be people who want to use my ability maliciously, and NPCs who are wary may appear.

The story that there is nothing good to know.

But if it’s Rilka…

it’s good. decided.

“Rilka Actually, I have ■■■■.”

– Jijijijik!

The moment I speak, sparks fly and there is noise.

A bug message window popped up at the same time.

[A huge penalty will be given if information is conveyed in an illegal way (including the other party)]

[Look at the other party for a long time. Don’t tell me if you want to.]

“What to you?”

Rilka asked, but I had no choice but to swallow.

The system is blocking.

Also with threats.
