Leveling With The Gods - Chapter 404
[Level Up with the Gods Episode 404]
The manager’s gaze followed Yuwon’s finger.
All he could see was the low ceiling of the rental shop.
‘ceiling…?’
Although it is high, it is a height that most rankers can climb by jumping.
There is probably no crazy person in the world who would rent a sun chariot to climb this high.
Moreover, if his memory was correct, the person in front of him was a recently emerging top-level high-ranker.
‘Are you going to go up to the sky now?’
What on earth is in that empty sky?
The manager looked up and wondered for a moment. In Yuwon’s eyes, it seemed like there was a question mark above his head.
‘Well, it doesn’t matter if it’s known now.’
Other than being noticed, it didn’t really matter.
Instead, what was urgent now was the sun carriage.
“Can you please hurry up?”
“iced coffee! yes!”
At Yuwon’s urging, the manager began to move quickly.
Because the destination was unclear, the actual usage fee was not measured. It was up to Yuwon to decide how high the ‘sky’ was and for how long the sun chariot would be used.
“It’s ready here. The usage fee is first measured at the highest usage fee of 1000 points. We will give you a partial refund later based on the distance…”
“Here it is.”
[3000000 points were consumed.]
“…?”
The manager’s eyes widened.
3 million points.
It was enough money to buy a replica version of the sun chariot.
“Why are you giving me so much?”
“I packed a little more.”
Tuk Tuk-.
Yuwon patted the manager on the shoulder and said.
“Now, buy another new one. “Not used.”
“Yes yes?”
Pot-.
Yuwon got on the prepared sun carriage.
The carriage started, emitting hot heat.
The manager just kept looking confused as he watched the carriage come out through the exit.
Although he thought this was not the case, he seemed to be worried because 3 million points was not a small number of points.
‘At this rate, I could just buy a new one.’
It seemed shameless, but I knew Yuwon was also sorry.
With 3 million points, it would be possible to purchase a new replica version of the sun chariot from Olympus instead of the used one you are currently riding.
It was a sufficient price including the labor cost.
And there is one reason why Yuwon bothered to pay that price.
Cheeeee-.
The wheels of the sun chariot, which was ascending endlessly into the sky, began to overload.
“…It’s the beginning.”
Yuwon looked down from the sun carriage and saw a city as small as a toy.
A carriage approaching the sun.
No matter how hot the flames it spewed out and flew through the sky, in the end this sun chariot was nothing more than an item created by rankers including Hephaestus.
Cheeeee-.
The wheel slowly began to melt and burn.
It was the beginning of a gateway.
“Discovering the ‘door’ was a coincidence.”
Although everyone knew it at the time.
The first to find the door to the next floor was a not-so-great ranker named ‘Icarus’.
“My father and I fell into a labyrinth while conquering a dungeon on the 100th floor. “It was a labyrinth where I didn’t know where the exit was or if there was an end.”
He made wings to escape the labyrinth.
As he had no special flying skills, it was the only way to do it.
The labyrinth he was trapped in stretched high into the sky.
“I made wings and flew into the sky and barely escaped the labyrinth. “It was my first time flying that high.”
Ordinary rankers did not move upward.
It was natural.
This was because ‘above’ no longer existed, and it was thought that all that remained was the endless sky.
100th floor.
There was no world higher than this tower. So the rankers were satisfied there.
However, while escaping the labyrinth and flying through the sky, Icarus found something floating in the sky.
“There was a door there.”
door.
It was not something worthy of being in the sky. Of course, that was just a symbolic name.
“I climbed up as if I was possessed by something, and almost burned to death. If you gave up there, you probably would too…”
“Why are you talking so much?”
“Hey hey. “Does this guy seem drunk?”
“How much alcohol did you give me again?”
Well, anyway, the point is.
‘It’s above everything.’
Cheeeee-.
The sun chariot burned down.
Just as the wax wings of Icarus were melting, the sun chariot was also melting in the heat.
To withstand this much heat, I would have had to have brought a real sun chariot, not a fake one.
but.
“Arthur.”
Yuwon had a way to neutralize the heat.
“Freeze.”
-All right.
Shoot ah-.
A chilling chill enveloped the sun chariot. Arthur’s ice not only cooled down the burning sun chariot, but actually made it cold inside.
It goes up and up like that.
“The final driving force is….”
Grumble-.
Flames gathered in Yuwon’s hands.
[‘Heart of Fire’ reacts with ‘Seonghwa’.]
A flame begins to erupt from the heart.
Intense flames erupt from the palms stretched out toward the rear of the sun chariot.
Hwaaaaaaaaaaa!
The sun chariot, whose power stopped for a moment, flew higher.
The cold created by Arthur protected the sun chariot from the scorching heat, and Yuwon pulled the sun chariot upward.
of course.
Grumbling-.
Arthur’s cold was not able to protect the sun chariot.
Magical powers of opposite attributes.
Yuwon’s flame drove away Arthur’s magic.
I could have done that if I had tried not to melt Arthur’s ice, but-.
‘If you do that, your momentum will drop.’
As the flames burned up, the speed at which the sun chariot rose became faster and faster.
How much has it come up?
Now the world feels so small that even the city can’t be seen properly.
‘see.’
Up there in the sky.
A small haze glowing blue began to appear.
And towards that place.
Pot-.
Yuwon abandoned the sun chariot and jumped high.
[‘Sky Step’ is activated.]
[Movement speed increases by 100% for 5 seconds.]
[You can step on the sky for 5 seconds.]
A skill built into Hermes’ Step.
Yuwon borrowed the effect of that skill and stepped on the sky for 5 seconds.
And very quickly.
‘I can reach it.’
Yuwon stretched out his hand.
The real sky in this tower. The only door leading upward in the world.
Among high rankers, this place is called ‘the eye of a needle to become a god.’
yes-.
Yuwon’s fingertips touch that haze.
[Verifying the divine status.]
Soon, Yuwon’s body passed through the haze and reached the white world.
[The conditions for divine status have been met.]
Divine status.
Contrary to the grandiose name, meeting this condition was not that difficult.
Pass all of the tower’s tests from the 1st to the 99th floor and reach the 100th floor. In other words, acquiring the qualifications of a ranker.
That was the condition of divine status.
[Verify the myth.]
Myth.
It was literally God’s story.
What was really important was this.
From the 1st floor to the 100th floor. What tests did you go through and what kind of life did you live as you climbed the tower as a player?
What kind of story did you write?
Suuuu-.
A picture began to be drawn on the pure white world surrounding the amusement park.
The life Yuwon has lived so far.
One by one, they appeared before my eyes.
What color appeared first?
Chiik-.
‘purple.’
It was a damn purple color.
The sky was drawn. The purple sky was definitely more familiar to Yuwon than the blue sky.
It was because he lived in that sky for a long time.
Chiik chik-.
A picture was drawn in front of Yuwon’s eyes, almost as if he were painting with a brush.
What appeared this time was a huge pillar.
A tall pillar connecting heaven and earth. And the foreign media crushed by that pillar.
Next to them are Yeo Eui-bong and Son Goku.
And it was himself with his back to Son Goku.
“I’m really sick of it.”
I remembered.
I couldn’t forget it.
While fighting with Son Goku as usual.
The sky turned purple and foreigners appeared. Yuwon and Son Goku, who stopped fighting, started fighting against the foreigners who appeared like that.
Sigh-.
The next scene was drawn.
“In the end, this is how we got together.”
“There are a lot.”
“Not many. “This is all that survives.”
Thousands of rankers.
In the spectacle of them all gathered together.
Yuwon seemed uninterested and just lay down on the rock and looked up at the sky, which was still colored purple.
‘That was it.’
One hundred years since the fight against foreign media began.
The number of surviving rankers was only a few thousand.
And it was from then on.
“I have an idea.”
Odin, Mimir, and other rankers began planning Clockwork.
The story started from the fact that this life was ruined anyway.
And the results followed.
“What? Hold on?”
The image of himself being hit by Kim Myung-hoon’s fist.
It’s been quite a while now. It was the first time I returned using Clockwork.
“Was it tomorrow or today?”
“what?”
The scenery passed by.
Tutorial conducted with Myung-Hoon Kim. And the egg from which the maple hatched obtained at the end of the tutorial.
Maple hatched from an egg and destroying Olympus in Ragnarok, Heavenly Demon War.
And-
“And then there was one more person.”
The foolish chaos that was looking back at itself was reflected in this world.
“Kim Yu-won.”
A reunion with foolish chaos.
Yuwon could not forget that moment. In the future, he killed the guy with his own hands, but for a moment, Yuwon was nervous and his hands were sweating.
This was because he knew more about foolish chaos than anyone else.
Plus.
-Maaaaa-.
No matter how you hear it, the sound of crying gives you goosebumps.
A huge goat appeared towards Yuwon with shining purple eyes.
‘Shub Niguras.’
Following some foolish chaos. Until the fight with Shub Nigguras.
The events Yuwon has experienced so far have been recorded and unfolded in this world.
At this point, Yuwon seemed to know roughly what kind of story he had been writing.
I never thought he would have recorded his story before returning to Clockwork. Fortunately, Yuwon’s life before and after his return had one thing in common.
‘My whole life is related to those guys.’
lang syne.
The name of Yuwon’s life story was ‘The Wanderer’.
Is it because I didn’t belong anywhere and lived a lonely, wandering life?
The myth written by Yuwon at that time was cold even from its name.
but.
“Still, I quite like this.”
Yuwon’s eyes lit up as he watched his story unfold before his eyes.
[Shinhwa (神格) – Starting ‘The Failed Adversary of the Other World’.]
The Failed Adversary of the Other World.
Outside of this tower. Another world.
And the gods of the other world came from that world.
Outer God.
The story of an enemy who fought against them and failed.
It was a story that could never be written at this point. However, the whole world knew the story of Yuwon’s return through Clockwork.
Hahahaha!
One moment.
All the scenes that unfolded before Yuwon’s eyes turned white again, as if they had been erased with an eraser.
[The test begins.]
The ‘needle hole to become a god’ has begun.
