Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 386
[Level Up with God Episode 386]
* * *
The test on the 99th floor was special.
A test that is administered differently for each individual. The test on the 99th floor summons the entity the player fears most before their eyes.
But that is only a visible shape.
Yuwon, who had already been tested once, knew that the being that appeared before his eyes was not real.
Maaaa-.
A huge goat appeared with an unpleasant roar.
Yuwon looked up at his enemy, who appeared like a painting on a pure white background.
‘Is it Shub Nigguras?’
The entity he fears the most is Shub Nigguras.
This guy was definitely one of the strongest enemies Yuwon knew.
A god from another world whose rank is even higher than that of foolish chaos.
However, you should not be deceived by the appearance.
“Anyway, this is….”
Sigh-.
Yuwon pulled out his sword.
[Kusanagi’s Sword]
“Because it’s just a test to overcome fear.”
Sigh-.
It was a single cut.
The sharpest sword in this tower. That alone was enough to cut down the fake Shub Nigguras that appeared in front of me.
A target that didn’t feel fear wasn’t that strong to begin with.
A red line was drawn on Shub Niguras’ body.
That moment.
Passsss-.
Shub Nigguras, split in half, disappeared everywhere.
[Passed the 99th floor test.]
[1000000 points obtained.]
[All tower tests….]
[….]
Messages that appear before my eyes.
Yuwon turned his head and looked at the manager. He looked like an old man commonly seen in the neighborhood, and was stroking his long beard and patting his stooped back.
“You have nothing to fear?”
He has seen many rankers.
No, all rankers moved up after taking his test.
Odin, Zeus, Goku, and Hercules.
In addition, many high rankers who have made their names known in this tower have all moved up through the same test.
However, this was my first time taking a test that was so easy.
“What’s there to be afraid of if it’s fake anyway?”
“If it were that easy, anyone could become a ranker.”
“Then let’s just say I’m a bit special.”
Yuwon also knew.
How difficult is this test?
However, for Yuwon, this was the easiest test.
‘It’s difficult to realize and be sure that what you see in front of you is fake.’
Moreover, Yuwon had already passed this test.
Of course, it was pretty easy to pass at the time.
“As I heard, he’s a guy with a lot of secrets.”
Yuwon was also famous among managers.
A state that seems to have many secrets, but is not properly known.
“Odin knows something about you, right?”
Administrators were also interested in Odin’s recent actions.
With the appearance of the Outer Gods, the King of Asgard gathered together the guilds scattered throughout the tower.
The day of unity was just around the corner, and it was something that even managers could take note of.
“I’m curious.”
The manager looked at the place where Shub Niguras, who had just disappeared by the hands of Yuwon, had been.
“I wonder if what I saw with my own eyes will actually happen or not.”
Sssssssssssssssssssss-.
In this way, the space surrounding the amusement park and the manager gradually fades away.
[Arrived at the 100th floor.]
As soon as I felt a little nauseous, a completely different scenery appeared on top of the disappeared background.
There are clouds in the sky. Below is rich, hard ground.
A world filled with castles and buildings so tall that you have to raise your head high and look up, and cool air.
Yuwon closed his eyes for a moment at the scenery of the newly arrived world.
“…We finally arrived.”
At the top.
* * *
[Kim Yu-won reaches the top in the shortest time! What are the scheduled procedures?]
[I became a ranker, but there is no change in my ranking. Ranking Management Bureau: “It doesn’t mean anything.”]
[Kim Yu-won’s future actions. Which guild are you interested in?]
[Guild Murim. “Now is the time to focus on the unity of Asgard.”]
Numerous articles poured in as if they had been waiting.
Yuwon becoming a ranker was already planned. Even before Yuwon first became a ranker, he was ranked at the high ranker level, which also meant that the management bureau saw Yuwon’s growth potential as high.
No one was surprised.
In fact, there were people who said it was later than expected.
In addition, no one had any doubts about Yuwon’s skills anymore.
“That guy is already a top-tier high ranker.”
“At first, I thought the management bureau had made a mistake…”
“There are too many people who have seen it now, right?”
Yuwon’s skills had already been proven through several incidents.
Destroy Olympus. Ragnarok. Cheonma Daejeon. And even the fight with Shub Nigguras who appeared on the first floor.
Yuwon proved his skills in numerous fights.
Although it was still only 28th.
No one had any doubt that Yuwon would become one of the kings of the tower like Odin in the near future.
“Something happened.”
Yuwon stayed at the 100th floor.
The final test wasn’t difficult, but I was tired from constantly climbing the tower, and I didn’t pay too much attention to what was going on in the world.
The first thing Yu-won did upon arriving in a world that some consider a dream was to find a nice hotel-like room, come in, wash his body, and lie down on the bed.
‘What a great world it is.’
Yuwon saw the world reflected outside the window.
The sky is always clear and never dark all year round.
A fertile land that does not dry out even without a single drop of rain.
A city full of high-end stores and things to see and do that rankers are greedy for.
There was a reason why it was known as a world blessed by God. The most livable world in this tower was also at the highest point.
“Well… the downside is that it’s that expensive.”
No matter how good it was, the cost to use this room for one day was a whopping 200 points.
The price is several times that of most other countries in the world.
There was a good reason why it was a good place to live.
Tick-.
I roll over in bed and knock on the kit.
It was a feeling of leisure that I had felt for the first time in a long time.
Thanks to that, Yuwon was able to learn little by little about what was going on in the world.
“Unity in Asgard?”
An event hosted by Odin.
I thought I must have been really busy to come here because I didn’t even know that a position like this existed.
Yuwon looked at other information.
Strangely enough, nearly half of the recently posted articles were related to him.
“28th place…”
It seems that the fight against Satan had an effect on the rise in ranking.
Of course, if that were the case, it should have been at least in the top 10, not in the top 20.
“but.”
Yuwon glanced at the egg placed on the bed.
‘I guess I know what the reason is.’
Other than that, there wasn’t much else of note.
Most of the articles were written mainly about Shub Niguras who appeared on the first floor, but none of them were very nutritious.
It was natural.
At this point, there is no way that there is a reporter who really knows about Outer God yet.
Most, but not all, of them were speculative writings ending in ‘kadera’.
‘Some of them were pretty good guesses, though.’
Yuwon again focused on the unity of Asgard.
December 31st.
‘Is it about a month from now?’
The deadline was set fairly well. This is probably why it takes so much time for all the guilds to gather.
“Do you think we can finish it by then?”
There are two things Yuwon has to do on the 100th floor.
Yuwon got up and left the dorm to solve the first of them.
Jeopuk-.
The city was pretty busy.
Among the people walking on the street, everyone who could be called a player was a ranker.
Among them, like the residents of other floors, there were those who opened their own stores or worked separately as mercenaries.
Those who are given a ranking but are not interested in the ranking.
“Isn’t that Kim Yu-won?”
“They said they came up this time….”
“Did they come to see the sights?”
Eyes glancing at the amusement park.
But that was all. Most ranker-level players belonged to guilds of a certain size, and there were many instances of high rankers being seen.
Thanks to this, interest faded away in an instant.
Meanwhile, Yuwon went further into the corner.
High buildings that seemed to reach the sky disappeared and smelly, dark alleys appeared.
And there were bound to be bad guys in places like this.
Buuung-.
Kwak kwagwagwak-!
Thick, sharp needles sinking into Yuwon’s feet.
Yuwon stopped walking and raised his head. There was a group looking down at the amusement park from the rooftop of a building up the alley.
“Is that the one who did it?”
“oh-.”
“It’s a good thing I waited. “I did one.”
Sigh-.
Local street thugs appear everywhere in the alleys.
However, despite their rough appearance, they were all rankers.
They are like a group of wolves on the first floor, robbing another ranker who has risen to the 100th floor.
Yuwon turned his head and looked at every corner of the alley.
The number was quite large.
If all the people scattered nearby were gathered together, the number would probably be well over twenty.
“This is my first time seeing this face…”
“Hey, wait a minute.”
“I think I got this wrong…”
The rankers, who saw Yuwon’s face up close, hesitated.
No matter how many rankers gave up on rankings, they knew at least what was going on in the world.
Especially if you ask who the most famous celebrity on the tower is these days, nine times out of ten you will name one person.
“Are you really Kim Yoo-won?”
“Shit….”
“What if I throw away all my skills like that?”
“Ah, why are you fucking doing what you always do?”
The rankers who saw Yuwon’s face caused division in the team. Suddenly, a fight broke out in front of me, and a piece of blue ice rose from under Yuwon’s shadow.
“Arthur.”
-yes.
“Come back after cleaning up.”
Jeopuk-.
After saying those words, Yuwon started walking again.
And at the same time.
Blah blah blah-.
The ground begins to freeze.
Suuuu-.
Arthur, fully armed with blue armor, raised his head.
-I follow orders.
A sword made of ice along with Excalibur emerged from his fingertips.
For him, who was a high ranker, the 20 ragtag rankers in front of him were not even light exercise.
Seok-.
What the heck!
“Ahh!”
“All legs!”
“ice! It’s ice! “Someone has fire-type skills…”
Chaos unfolded.
Wherever you go, there are bound to be hoodlums like that in the alleys of the tower. There was no difference between lower level players and rankers in plundering other people’s things to conveniently earn points.
I didn’t have time to get involved with guys like that.
Yuwon entered a deeper alley and headed towards the stairs hidden on one side.
Jump and jump -.
A damp smell.
Because of the narrow stairs, the sound of footsteps hit the wall several times.
I continued going down the stairs like that.
“Who are you?”
Hwareuk-.
A small lamp appeared, illuminating the dark stairs.
“The entrance fee here is a little expensive. And the things inside are more expensive than the entrance fee.”
“There are more than enough points.”
Points received as a reward each time you pass a test.
In addition, a new record was set on each floor, earning a huge amount of points from the administrator.
At least 100,000 per floor.
Up to several million points.
There were even articles pouring out that estimated how many points Yuwon had earned so far.
And ever since I saved the adamantium.
Yuwon had saved up most of his points.
“I’m kind of rich.”
[Points held: 152478900p]
Just for today.
