Stuck in The Tower - Chapter 390

Chapter 390 Clear the 75th floor

A hologram created in the air. A message from a world that is heading toward destruction never seen before.

[Destruction index – 90/100]

Is there a criterion for determining destruction?

Did that message pop up at the end?

I didn’t even know that the message came to mind when I reached 90 points.

The reason he knows the timing is…

‘Because he’s already experienced it many times.’

I wasn’t the only one who frowned and looked up at the sky. Same with the members.

It was a completely different story to be notified of objective figures and to just be aware that they were perishing.

I don’t know what the criteria are, and whether the extinction index only increases.

I’ve never experienced it, and I wonder if there’s a world that I’ve experienced and survived.

important thing.

‘Where did things go wrong?’

That I hadn’t even noticed until it happened.

Haven’t you been very active since joining Hidden Garden?

Or is there something else we don’t know about?

While their heads were complicated, those who followed Himenia, the Tower Worshiper, also looked up at the sky and knelt down.

“Ohhhh! The time for salvation has come!”

“Follow Himenia to the tower!”

“It’s a ruined world anyway. Wouldn’t it be enough to create a new home!”

“That’s right. After all, it’s okay to live in the tower! It might be better that way!”

way of salvation.

Are all those gathered here worshipers of the preliminary tower?

exercised power.

Wind-catchers who only encourage people and stir up emotions.

[Ebolin]

– Tower worshiper.

– Bronze level.

[Geek Pixen]

– Tower worshipers.

– Bronze level.

.

.

.

Those guys are already tower worshipers.

It is unknown whether he was a worshiper from the beginning or whether he is repeating his life as a worshiper from this point on.

The important thing is…

“I am not interested in the ruined world. Climbers, struggle hard.”

[Destruction Index-91/100]

[Destruction Index-92/100]

.

.

.

Even at this moment, the extinction index is rising.

What is going on somewhere you can’t see?

“Powerless.”

Hymenia asked quietly.

Are you helpless? It’s frustrating. It was obvious that something was going wrong, but I couldn’t figure out what to fix.

“You successfully fended off the invasion. Just like the others did.”

Floating in the air, he casts his gaze into the distance.

The direction of the World Forest. Various emotions pass by Himenia’s gaze.

“Maybe if I had given up the World Forest at that time, the outcome might have changed.”

“What are you talking about?”

“It means exactly what it is.”

Chew.

he spread his arms

Then he looked down at the crowd following him.

“You saved the world tree, and mankind lost their place to live! In the end, even the last challenge failed. Are you satisfied? Do you feel fortunate to have protected them?”

He casts a cold gaze.

“Traitor of humanity.”

traitor of mankind.

One of the intruders said the same thing.

I had goosebumps on my back.

It feels like the puzzle is finally being put together.

Scenario World tree stained with blood.

First chapter. Children of the Snow Spirit.

what that meant

‘They were the only ones left in the world.’

The decisive event to do so was the Great Invasion.

When humanity abandons the world, all that remains are elves and druids in the World Forest.

The large-scale invasion was the last resort, and now the second chapter has passed, and the world is on the verge of destruction.

Hidden Garden, which was closed, had no way of knowing that fact.

Wait…..

Then what about the missing elves and druids?

If the survivors gathered here, who harmed them?

The moment a terrifying thought comes to mind.

“It’s about time.”

Himenia recited in a calm tone.

“You have failed. The World Tree has already drunk too much blood.”

[Destruction Index – 95/100]

[The world is approaching destruction.]

[Choices will be given to those who are qualified.]

Starting at 95 points, a new message emerged.

An option given to those who deserve it.

A message window appeared dizzy in front of the eyes of those gathered on the road of salvation.

[Would you like to become an NPC?]

[Your achievements are sufficient to enter the safe zone.]

[You may request new conditions.]

[You will be classified as an NPC standby.]

[Lack of achievements! It is placed on the 40th floor.]

[Tower worshipers receive benefits and disadvantages.]

.

.

.

Originally, it was a message that should only be shown to individuals, but I, who has the authority, could see it all.

The choices available to each person are different.

There were people who demanded more and could receive preferential treatment, while others were put on the waiting list.

It must mean that the achievements achieved in the tower will be applied the same when you return as an NPC.

on the other side.

“Ah, nothing has changed?”

“How did this happen! Didn’t you say you would be saved?”

There were also those who did not receive any options.

those who did not rise to the top. And…..

[NPC ineligible]

[No meaningful activity in the tower.]

[Less than the expected value standard.]

[You are useless in the tower.]

Those who refuse to bring you as NPCs in the tower itself.

I don’t know exactly what that criterion is, but seeing as there is no meaningful activity, it should be regarded as that.

Even after reaching the top floor, they spent time without much activity.

Some were angry and some were weeping.

Those who fell into despair were few, and those who were ranked through their own selection process were enthusiastic.

“Your heart…!”

[Congratulations on becoming an NPC!]

[I hope you get a new opportunity.]

[I take your heart as collateral.]

-Passssss

Blue flames spread from the chests of those who decided to become NPCs.

It is the blue heart that is the symbol of the NPC.

Proof that you were subordinated to the tower by collateralizing your heart.

“Goodbye, fools.”

Himenia came out and looked over the members, then spread her arms.

“Leave the crumbling world behind and seek eternal life!”

“Waaaaaaa!”

“Let’s go!”

Those who cheered at his cry.

As if in response, the sky opened up.

A space that rips through the sky and appears. For the first time, I was able to see the true nature of the tower.

[Mental Protection (SSS) Lv.3]

Mental protection was activated to protect me.

“Oh oh.”

“Top.”

Worshipers kneel.

The existence of a tower that exists alone in the dark universe.

As if I had a will, the gaze facing me penetrated my entire body.

An infinitely huge and irresistible presence.

The laws of the world that have gone beyond the fabric and reached the ideological realm like natural law.

The overwhelming materialized tower that even turned the value of self into dust was awe and fear in itself…

‘Wait. I’m going up somehow.’

In the end, it was a target to overcome the challenge.

He gritted his teeth and shook his head.

He crossed the body of the tower and cast his gaze toward the top.

[The eyes that watch the SS-class Power Star stare at the tower.]

[The two wills of the tower are watching you.] [

Cheer for clearing the ???-Hidden Quest.]

A message that rings directly in your head… Mmm. .

I could feel the tingling of the soul just by itself.

[‘Mental Protection (SSS) Lv.3′ alleviates the shock!]

[Chaos levels alleviate the shock!]

[Lunatis’ Arrangement alleviates the shock!]

[Connected to the Chaos Frog (Deokchun) .]

[The Chaos Frog (Deokchun) bears part of the shock!]

It was over with a nosebleed.

Oh my goosebumps

Rather, it was Lunatis’ arrangement.

‘You mean the eyes that watch the stars.’

Because this is the power I got as a reward from that quest.

What is an alternate top? why are you interested in me

Received a mysterious hidden quest? When you think about it, this is also strange.

It’s been over 10 years since the tower was built, but there’s no way no one has been around the first floor like me.

Ordinary people might not know, but guild members or talented people like the hair loss man would have been able to treat goblins lightly even before awakening.

It’s obviously the shape of a tower, but you can feel the gaze. A look that repeats being gentle and then turning violent.

-Saaaa’s

space in the air is healed and the tower has disappeared.

“ah.”

The appearance of those gathered in one place also disappeared.

[Clear the 75th floor]

* * *

Darkness.

The world receded and I entered a dark space.

The 75th floor is over.

On the screen that emerged like a movie theater, I could see those who did not receive a choice screaming.

Those in despair raged, anger turned to violence, and those left behind quickly killed each other.

Each time, the extinction index increased little by little.

It must be because of me that the worshipers killed their rivals while selecting personnel. to hasten destruction.

I looked at him without saying a word.

Do they know that in reality they were also chosen? I don’t realize it, but this place is inside the tower.

The theme of the 70th floor is a world in ruins.

It was a place where things from the past were reenacted, and perhaps they were…

‘They didn’t build enough achievements to the extent that they couldn’t get a proper role.’

Are all these people in this world like that?

So what about children and seniors? Did they all go up to the upper floors and be on the 70th floor?

Does it make sense? I don’t know. The damned tower doesn’t give a proper answer to anything.

-I

sat down on the single-person sofa in the transmission waiting room.

The aftermath of the shock still lingers. Just hearing the message directly from the tower was such a shock.

Whoa. He let out a long breath.

“I think I know roughly why there are worshipers of the tower.”

It is the same as the ancient human beings deified nature that cannot be resisted.

What would they even think if their world was on the brink of destruction?

done. I’m not curious about this I don’t even want to suffer.

I don’t know if the members will be okay. I didn’t take care of it because I didn’t have a good time.

I just trust that it will go well.

–

Even while rubbing my temples from mental fatigue, the images on the screen continued to pass by.

zoomed out view.

Monsters took the place of civilization, and the surviving races struggled to somehow adapt to the world.

And…

“What?”

I saw the World Forest where I was.

It feels completely different when you are inside and when you look at it from a distance.

No, this is not a different feeling.

“The forest has been demonized.”

“To that.”

Only the west and outer areas where the druids were located were demonized, but now more than half of the World Forest has been demonized. –

The screen changes

suddenly .

Inside the World Forest.

Elves and druids were still in the World Forest when most of the world’s inhabitants disappeared and the survivors became NPCs and entered the tower.

It wasn’t like before.

“The creature monster…is this really it?”

What Tower Worshiper Himenia said.

The World Tree has already drunk too much blood.

A berserk creature loses its sanity and attacks the Ranger and the Mobile Strike Team.

The forest went crazy as the root tree expanded its territory, and elves who were directly affected by the forest fell down one after another.

Even hitting a huge wooden pole to crush it.

The scars left behind were like the bodies of missing persons.

It was the moment when my weak doubts became certain.

-Sara la la la, in

the screen where all the scenes have passed.

[Chapter II- The end of the generation that lost the spirit]

The title of the second chapter has been revealed.

[Chaos level +3 points]

[Enter the 76th floor.]

Now there is only one chapter left.

I somehow looked around for clues.

[The SS-class powerful star-watching eyes are displayed.]

Inside the frozen screen. I was able to find it looking blurry.

Wow!

The view has changed.
