Stuck in The Tower - Chapter 19

Chapter 19 Arrival on the 6th floor

[Reward will be given!]

A sweet message to listen to anytime.

My anticipation was also high.

Whatever you imagine, it will be more than that.

-Pahaaaagh!

A beam of light descended from the sky.

The intensity is incomparable to anything I have seen so far.

“Oh oh.”

I looked up at the sky with a small admiration.

– Woo woo woo ung

The sky is rumbling and the air is rumbling.

Along with him, the light that had been a single pillar began to spread in all directions. Soon it spread to five colors and increased the intensity of the light.

A mysterious and overwhelming sight.

I gently closed my eyes.

come down

It’s hard to see because of the backlight, but a small dot is descending.

It descends slowly to me from the center of brilliance in the blurred vision.

It was a frog.

“ok?”

what?

did i look wrong?

I closed my eyes and opened them, but it was clear.

A big mouth in that round body.

Webbing attached to the limbs.

I couldn’t believe it, so I looked up at the sky, and the splendid effect had disappeared before I knew it.

That means it’s a real reward, and the one given is a frog.

How are you?

If you look closely, there is also a tail attached to the back of the body.

Has it not been long since you became an adult?

Why do they come down as tadpoles?

“Could this be a reward?”

I was in denial

[Reward-pet has been paid.]

The system crushed my simple wish.

“Gww. Frog. Gee eh.”

The cry of a frog that breaks the cracked mentality.

Why do you think you’re kidding me?

Did the original frog cry like this?

I don’t know. Not interested. i just want to go home

I’m getting depressed because I can’t lose my energy.

I’m sick of expecting

“Geeck—!”

-Is

it because I keep ignoring you? The frog slapped my cheek with his tongue.

A sticky, moist feel.

Subtly hot warmth.

Power is good too.

The head also turned slightly.

and. It’s the first time I’ve experienced this, so I feel worse than I imagined.

“haha. Heh heh heh.”

He could be angry, but all that came out was laughter.

Did they say that when people are too stupid, their bodies stiffen?

Not only the body, but also the thinking stops.

I think I know what that means now.

“Eugheh.”

A frog crying at me with a thick expression for some reason.

I think I’m quite dissatisfied with it, but I feel the same way.

can’t be returned

no. What do you think?

–

I patted my cheek lightly.

Come to your senses. Either way, it’s a reward.

The top is harsh, but the system is fair.

There must be a reason for giving the frog.

“It’s unusual in appearance, but it’s also big.”

I looked at the cooked frog.

It seems that the stomach is bigger than the bullfrog. It’s not even a full body yet.

There are seven dainty horns hanging from the middle of the head on the head.

Its body, about the size of two fists, had a mixture of white and red patterns.

Surely it’s not a poison frog?

They say if the pattern is flashy, it’s poisonous.

Is it okay to touch it with bare hands?

I was worried after belatedly, but seeing that there was no problem so far, it seemed to be okay.

I glared at the frog with persistence.

As long as I have the power, I should be able to figure out his identity.

“Ugh. done!”

It took a longer time than usual before the frog’s information came to mind.

[Chaos Frog (E)]

-Potential (???)

-A frog that was confused when summoning a fish-man warrior.

-It is unknown how it will grow as a spiritual creature with chaos.

-It is stronger than the current owner (Cho Hyun-soo).

Chaos Frog?

no. If you’re going to do it, I’ll unify the Chaos Frogs or the Chaos Frogs into one.

done. It’s openly called Chaos, but it’s even weirder if the names are unified.

“It is more spiritual than that.”

A story I’ve never heard of.

Since it’s a tower, it wouldn’t be strange if there were creatures called spiritual objects.

Chaos is like an attribute.

there are sometimes Monsters born with attributes completely unrelated to racial values, such as the Ice Salamander.

I’ve never heard of an attribute called Chaos.

“But…”

I narrowed my eyes.

There is one sentence that I care about even if I don’t know anything else.

– Stronger than the owner.

Is he stronger than me?

No matter how young he is, isn’t it too much?

I also have something called pride.

At the very least, if you say it’s weaker than an orc, you’d say yes, but a frog is a bit.

The time when I was shaking my head and feeling distrust of the information in front of me.

“Ka-ak- twi.”

Suddenly, the Chaos Frog spat on the floor.

Do frogs actually spit? For a while to think.

– Chiihiiik I

smelled something burning and looked down at the floor to see that the stones were turning black.

“…Whoa.”

Did the stone just melt? really?

Look at it and look at it, it’s real.

I saw several rare sights today.

I felt like I was about to go into a brain freeze again, but I managed to come back to my senses.

“okay. admit.”

i am a cool guy

Even if you don’t believe it, admit it and accept it.

Quick to judge and act without hesitation.

I politely got down on my knees and set the frog on the floor.

Sequencing is complete. he’s older than me

Looking back, the pattern is really beautiful.

It’s like a symbol of bravery.

The frog, who had been sneakily looking up at me, came out and looked at the floor alternately.

oops make this mistake.

I quickly took off my backpack and laid it on the floor.

Only then did the frog climb onto the backpack as if satisfied.

Judging by what you do, you have intelligence.

nod

The frog moved its head.

[Tip. Pets are connected to their owners. Interact with each other!]

[Tip. If the sympathy is low or the owner is weaker than the pet, it might bite.]

You’ve got an ally you can bite, not a reliable ally.

i didn’t know this again

I’ve seen people who got special skills and powers from the tower and summoned or tamed them, but I didn’t see anyone who got a pet.

I looked down at the frog.

If left as it is, wouldn’t it run away into the forest on its own?

That doesn’t sound too bad on its own.

I am a person who has never raised a dog, let alone a frog.

A story about sympathy and not knowing what to do.

I smoked it with some anticipation, but the frog only looked at me and seemed unwilling to move.

okay. I got it, so I have to take it with me. Let’s negotiate well.

“Frog, don’t spit on me. First of all, I’m the owner, right?”

“Gee heck.”

I spoke in the most polite voice possible.

Frog waved his hand as if he understood.

what am i doing right now Hyeonta is coming hard.

“Whoa.”

be patient Just finished the tutorial.

In the future, we will have to face more difficult and dangerous things.

It’s not just monsters and traps.

Starting from the 6th floor, you will meet other people.

And among them there will be people who are hostile to me.

Like the Sangun Guild.

“It’s not just the Sangun Guild. All the major guilds are targeting me.”

The government and guilds that spread fake tutorial strategies. Because they are not different from each other.

The moment my identity is revealed, assassins may come in droves.

Aside from those guys, there might be people who simply commit murder to obtain items.

In any case, the frog could be a reliable trump card.

“good. Let’s do well with this.”

Let’s go positive. It’s already a tough top, but there’s nothing good to see even mentally.

besides that

“I think I should give it a name, hmm.”

We’re going to go together in the future, but can’t we keep calling them frogs?

what should i build

“A name fitting for a super frog that descends from the sky with light, possesses chaos properties, and is stronger than I am.”

difficult. difficult.

I thought about it for a while and finally made a decision.

“Let’s call it Deokchun.”

“Geeck?”

Deokchun looked at me with an expression as if he had heard something wrong, but he had already made up his mind.

Wouldn’t it be nice if it’s a friendly name that we’re going to be together with?

And he’s big, so he looks like a rice cake toad.

How does it fit your name?

“Let’s go, Deokchun.”

“Gww! Gee eh! Frog!”

Deokchun expresses his vehement refusal.

Either way, I packed my backpack.

I ignored Deokchun who had fallen to the floor and headed for the portal.

“If you don’t like it, stay. If I go over, will the portal close? live well here.”

“That’s right… Gee!”

I moved my steps without hesitation, and Deokchun, who had been crying disapprovingly, jumped up and climbed onto my shoulder.

I don’t know how he has this much jump power at that size, but let’s assume that’s the case.

You are more powerful than me.

Well then.

“I’ll just take these and go.”

“Ugh?”

I pretended to jump right through the portal to Deokchun, but I had no intention of doing so.

I have something left to take with me, but I can’t just go.

-I

pulled out the spear thrown by the fish-man warrior.

If you have something sturdy, it seems to be reliable.

furthermore.

“okay. I knew you would be here too.”

I approached the object that shines and shows off its presence.

[Necklace of fish-man warrior]

-Maybe something good will happen if you have it?

The explanation that comes out steadily for each floor.

I still don’t know the identity.

let’s have it for now

I grabbed the necklace and put it in my bag.

Unfortunately, the crossbow was broken by being stepped on by a fish-man warrior. I decided to just leave it.

“I took everything I needed.”

I was a little worried.

Would it be better to go straight to the 6th floor? Or would it be better to wait a bit longer?

“Let’s go right away.”

The trouble was short-lived. I can’t figure out the situation on the 6th floor anyway.

If you ask the community for no reason, it’s obvious that only the location will be discovered.

All they know about me is the nickname Petit Gondule.

I’ll be able to get out somehow.

“There is no benefit to staying here.”

Above all, no food.

Goodbye tutorial.

It was dirty to meet you and let’s never see each other again.

– Woo woo woo woo!

[Congratulations!]

[You have successfully cleared the tutorial.]

[System restrictions have been lifted.]

[Follow the guidebook.]

With the notification sound, the field of view suddenly changed.

It was for a while that I frowned at the light that came in at once.

I couldn’t help but exclaim.

“Wow.”

person.

Unlike the tutorials where I moved alone, there were people.

The hum and the noise they make.

Hunters walking around wearing various costumes.

Buildings of various styles can be seen above it.

A completely different place from the tutorial section, which was no different from a remote area.

We arrived at the safe zone on the 6th floor.

* * *

The time when Cho Hyun-soo reached the 6th floor.

In the building of the Sangun Guild located on the 30th floor, profanity was rampant.

“What are you guys doing!”

The protagonist of the swearing is Choi Seong-mo, a rookie of the Sangun Guild.

– Quaang!

He hit the table, breaking it in half.

This is not a normal table. It’s an item made from the by-products of monsters.

It’s an object that can’t be affected by a moderate amount of shock, but it’s so easy to smash.

gulp.

The guild members standing along the wall also looked down with their eyes closed.

“Why are you all quiet? If you have a mouth, speak!”

Choi Seong-mo, who was frantic as if his anger was not resolved, screamed.

“I told you to find the bastard I posted the attack on, and I told you to make it into a public notice!”

The guild members flinched at his sad blue eyes and each began to make excuses.

“That’s because the community is anonymous, so there are some limitations.”

“I tried talking to the kids on the 10th floor, but it doesn’t seem to have done much.”

“In the end, if he doesn’t post, we have no other way.”

chuck.

Seongmo Choi reached out his hand toward the guild member.

It just means shut up.

“Are you asking because I don’t know that?”

Seongmo Choi also knows.

Community service system.

It’s not something that normal hunters can intervene.

At best, it was all about pressuring with the name of a large guild.

For most of them, that was enough to roll their tails.

A closed space called a tower. It’s the end if you get caught in the eyes of a large guild.

It’s usually like that.

‘What does Petit Gongdu believe in?’

The Petit Gondule in question had no brakes.

Rather, it is a situation that proudly raises the strategy of other floors.

“Whoa.”

Seongmo Choi wiped his face.

The smell of cigarettes in your hands.

I was already a heavy smoker, but the stress made me smoke more.

“I am, brother. Is it something to be concerned about?”

“I’m going to turn it off with aggro anyway, but won’t it go quiet on its own if I leave it on?”

“Of course, catching the disinformation spreader is a good thing, but I think it’s better for us to focus on climbing the tower as well.”

At the words of the guild members, Seongmo Choi shut up for a moment.

they don’t know

That the strategy that Petit Gongdu is posting is real.

That was the difference between rookies and non-rookies.

As long as there is a ban on it, it is impossible to give them a convincing explanation.

Seongmo Choi let out a small sigh and waved his hand.

“done. Petit Gongdu said that he seemed to be in the tutorial section right now, right?”

“yes. If you look at the time it appeared or the strategy, it is highly likely.”

“Tell the kids on the 6th floor. Check newbies coming in meticulously and feed them well. If you find a strange guy, then…”

Seok-suk. Seong-mo Choi pretends to cut his throat.

“Kill.”
