Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 245
[Level Up with God Episode 245]
* * *
It was a strange ranking.
418th place.
It was by no means a low ranking.
Being the 418th in this wide tower meant that it was a being with power and influence that could be counted among the hands within a single floor.
but.
‘Still, it’s low compared to what I’ve done so far.’
Yuwon did not rate his own achievements very low.
Rather, in the eyes of the management bureau, which knows all the major and minor affairs of the tower, Yuwon’s work will be seen as greater.
As expected, the ranking of 418th was too low.
‘It’s probably because I’m not a ranker yet.’
Strictly speaking, Yuwon was still a player and not a ranker.
Ranker is a name given only to great players who have conquered all of these tall towers.
And what was given only to such a small number of players was the ‘ranking’.
However, regardless of skill, Yuwon was not yet a ranker, so the ranking had to be adjusted in that regard.
‘I did something pointless.’
Yuwon had already experienced climbing to much higher places than this.
Of course, there was no particular desire for rankings, and the backlash from other rankers only made it more bothersome.
‘Well anyway…’
Yuwon muttered as he looked at the three flags in his hands.
“With this, is it now the 60th floor?”
Damn it-.
A huge chunk of ice filled the testing room.
A message rang out along with the mutterings of Yuwon, who was sitting on the edge of the ice as a chair.
[All flags have been obtained.]
[Additional points are awarded according to the flags.]
[Passed the test on the 59th floor.]
[200000 points….]
* * *
The realm of Asgard is the most players It was known that they were living there.
Warm sunshine, moderate rain, and abundant food throughout the four seasons.
A world that best suits the word peace.
That’s why many players climbed the tower, dreaming of settling down in this world.
It is said that there are many players who climb the tower to settle down in Asgard as much as to become a ranker.
As such, the rankers belonging to Asgard could not help but be overflowing with pride.
however.
“Kim Yu-won is coming here?”
64th floor.
Valhalla, a world inhabited by great warriors.
Asgard’s rankers gathered in the golden castle, where only the greatest warriors could enter.
“I heard that he has a golden castle badge.”
“How about that guy?”
“It looks like Thor gave it to him as a gift when he destroyed Olympus.”
“Destroy Olympus?”
“The incident that brought Zeus down.”
“Oh, that…”
Valhalla was in a state of turmoil.
It was as exceptional for a player to enter the Golden Castle as it was for a player to be given a ranking.
“No matter what, isn’t 418th too high?”
“Ranking is not necessarily proportional to skill. “He is the strongest player and all, so his influence and fame must have played a role in his ranking.”
“but.”
This was the rankers’ perception of Kim Yu-won.
It’s just that the ranking is set higher than the skill, taking into account the player’s potential.
Rather, if he defeats Kim Yu-won, he will be able to increase his ranking further.
“So where is that guy named Kim Yu-won now?”
“63rd floor.”
At that time, a familiar voice came from behind the rankers gathered in the golden castle.
“Maybe tomorrow is the next test day.”
“Toh toh toh….”
“Prince Thor?”
A prince of Asgard with a neat golden beard.
King Odin’s son Thor joined their conversation.
“It was I who handed over the certificate.”
As golden eyes looked at them, the rankers who were complaining about Kim Yu-won avoided their gaze.
“What are you complaining about?”
“Oh no.”
“It’s not like that…”
The rankers muttered, unable to continue their words.
Thor looked at them pitifully and waved his hand.
“Get out of here.”
At Thor’s gesture, they bowed their heads and quickly left the place.
Thor muttered as he looked at the backs of the rankers walking away.
“Tsk. “They look like they are suffering from an inferiority complex.”
Public opinion toward Kim Yu-won within Asgard was not very positive.
Numerous rankers and players lined up to enter Asgard. However, Kim Yu-won has continued to refuse to join the guild in Asgard for quite some time, even though he has been encouraged to do so.
However, since Kim Yu-won actually has the golden star and was even given a ranking this time, it is inevitable that he will be dissatisfied.
‘but.’
Thor muttered as he looked at the scenery of Valhalla outside the window of the golden castle.
“It might be hard to believe it unless you see it for yourself.”
Probably not everyone will know until they see it in person.
Why is their king Odin so interested in Kim Yu-won?
* * *
[You have passed the test on the 63rd floor.]
[The test is ending.]
[200,000 points….]
The surrounding scenery changed with the message of passing the test.
Countless corpses of dragons disappeared, and the sky, which had been dyed red with a group of bright lights, suddenly changed into the clearest blue sky.
The cool air stimulated the tip of my nose.
In front of you is a long road and busy people, and a rare smile blooms on their faces.
You can tell at a glance.
This was a really nice world to live in.
“uh? “He’s a new player.”
“There is only one person?”
“one person? “At best?”
People’s eyes gathered one by one at Yuwon’s appearance.
It was common for new players to come up after the exam.
But I couldn’t help but be interested in this test.
This was because Yuwon was the only one who came up.
“You really came up alone without a team?”
“Oh, no way….”
“Wait a minute. “Isn’t that Kim Yoo-won?”
There were a few people who recognized Yuwon’s face.
If you are on the 64th floor, there will be many people who are not very interested in Murim Daejeon.
In reality, after climbing a certain level, Yuwon did not meet many players who recognized him.
One reason.
‘Is it the influence of rankings?’
This was due to the ranking of amusement parks that suddenly appeared recently.
‘The 64th floor is a section where rankers are gradually becoming more interested. There will be no choice but to be interested in the appearance of a new ranker…’
If that’s the case, I understand.
Now is the time for the name ‘Kim Yu-won’ to become deeply embedded in people’s minds.
I didn’t really like the attention.
But now, whether we like it or not, the time has come to get used to it.
That’s why Yuwon opened his mouth without avoiding the gaze that was looking at him.
“I came at the invitation of King Odin.”
Sigh-.
A golden token sparkling in Yuwon’s hand.
“Lead the way.”
At that token, several people in the crowd knelt down.
A golden castle token.
It was a symbol of Valhalla’s great warrior.
* * *
Asgard was the guild with the most players in the tower.
Moreover, the 64th floor was inhabited by countless players under Asgard.
And there was a rule for Asgardian players.
That we must kneel to those who have the golden castle badge.
That was the courtesy to the warrior who would set foot in the golden castle of Valhalla.
“This way.”
Yuwon moved under the guidance of the players of Valhalla.
Valhalla was not very large compared to other worlds.
As I moved across the street, I saw a huge, sparkling castle at the end.
‘The Golden Castle.’
Rankers of Asgard.
And a place where free status and rankers from other guilds who were invited by Asgard gather.
also.
Where Odin, King of Asgard, resides.
“That’s it.”
I received sufficient directions.
Now that I’ve reached the point where I can see it, I can move on my own from now on.
The two players who led the way hesitated for a moment at Yuwon’s words.
And one of them.
“I…”
“Do you have something to say?”
“It probably won’t be very welcome.”
Words spoken carefully.
He continued talking when Yuwon did not respond.
“Other guilds are like that, but the rankers in Asgard don’t look upon you kindly either. “They probably feel like they are being denied the path they have taken.”
“Because of my ranking?”
“yes. Many rankers will think the same.”
“There are many people who think Kim Yu-won’s ranking is excessively high considering that he is a player who has not yet been ranked.”
When the player who was with him spoke up, Yuwon burst out laughing.
It was a stupid idea.
In fact, the opposite is true.
“so?”
“It might be better not to go.”
“I don’t know where you got it, but…”
Looking at the reaction, it seemed like something would happen when they arrived at the Golden Castle.
Yuwon asked the two players who were watching him.
“But why are you telling me this?”
“Because I’m a fan.”
“yes. me too.”
“Pan?”
I remember hearing something similar.
Son of Demon King Belial.
It was Mamos.
‘Now that I think about it, I hope you are doing well.’
He was also quite talented, so he would probably have reached a higher level by now.
We will meet again soon.
Belial was a high ranker who was in charge of one of the guild’s Demon Lords.
Yuwon looked at the two people standing awkwardly.
Two people who look like Mamos somewhere.
Although it was a little bit, I was curious.
“A fan?”
“Yes yes!”
“For players who have given up on becoming a ranker, Kim Yu-won is an idol.”
“We decided to stop here, but you….”
The praise for the amusement park suddenly started.
It’s not that I particularly like flattery, but it was a story that went in one ear and out the other.
But I still wanted to at least repay you for telling me this.
“I changed my mind.”
The two people looked at Yuwon with puzzled faces.
I can’t believe I changed my mind.
“Follow me. “To the golden castle.”
“Yes yes?”
“You mean the golden castle?”
Yuwon held out the golden castle token in his hand to the two people who waved their hands with embarrassed faces.
“Two servants. If we have this, we can enter the golden castle together.”
“So…”
“You really think we can enter the golden castle?”
The Golden Castle was a dreamlike place for players from Asgard.
A place where you can only enter if you are a ranker.
No, the golden castle was a place that even those rankers could not enter depending on their ranking.
But I can’t believe I can enter the golden castle like this.
“If you will do that, I will serve you with all my heart and soul.”
“Just order anything! Loyalty!”
For a player from Asgard, they were quite cheerful guys.
Yoo Won waved his hand at the two people who were shaking and said.
“There’s really nothing to do. “I don’t plan on giving you anything other than accompanying you. Just go and see for yourself.”
The two people who were jumping up and down and liking each other suddenly became quiet.
Before they knew it, Yuwon’s gaze, which had moved away from them, was directed towards the golden castle.
But those eyes were unusual.
“Lankeney Player.”
Yuwon’s eyes narrowed as he looked at the golden castle in the distance.
It was as if he was looking at a fun amusement park.
“That means nothing.”
