Stuck in The Tower - Chapter 595

Chapter 595 Nothing.

I let out a small sigh.

The place where I am is Mawangseong. It was the final destination commonly called in games.

“I’ll turn.”

I sat in the audience room for a while. I walked to the terrace and looked out at the scenery outside.

This is the end of the world. Where all kinds of monsters lurk.

If you look closely, they are nothing but monsters, but from a distance, they are no different from people living there.

They buy things, talk, and train each other for growth.

“No, what is the final boss?”

“To that.”

I also played some games when I was younger.

Until I was forced to grow up when the world changed in middle school.

What is an RPG

Role-playing game.

Literally role play. It was a game of growth with each role.

The final boss means a monster that must be finished with each character that has grown.

end of the game. A trophy that is finally won through various growth processes at the end of the world.

The purpose of the game, a place to end the hardships and great achievements.

That was my role.

‘I thought my inclination would have an effect.’

I have two tendencies.

Pioneer of a new path.

Undefinable chaos.

In the meantime, when choosing a camp, I was able to break the rules with undefinable chaos and decide where I wanted to be.

A propensity that was considered useless at first, but became useful as time passed.

Unfortunately, it didn’t work out much this time.

It must be because my role was determined based on my actions, not because I was given a choice.

No, I don’t think so.

After destroying the cave, the demon king came out? What kind of seal did you put on the cave?

“Whoa.”

He sighed and checked the current situation.

Anyway, it happened and I have to do something here.

In the 90th floor, in order to go to the next floor, you have to influence that floor in some way.

Like finishing the mafia game on the 91st floor and catching the vampire on the 92nd floor.

Same here.

First of all, it’s in the form of a game, so I know how to do it.

‘Seeing the ending.’

Because in order for a game to end, there must be an ending. Then you should be able to clear the 93rd floor.

The question is, how do you see the ending?

The endings of the game are different. There are happy endings, bad endings, true endings and hidden endings.

First of all, there is no bad ending. At least from my point of view, a bad ending is getting stabbed and dying.

“Since the position has changed, there is no answer.”

scratched his head

To summarize my activities so far, I was in a position to defeat the villain in terms of the problematic existence game.

Whatever the process, the large skeleton was similar.

Because I met many people, fought a mighty enemy, and eventually overcame it.

As in heroic narratives, I and the people around me became stronger than before and defeated insurmountable enemies.

But this time, it’s the opposite.

“Kill them before they become strong?”

He hesitated for a moment, but then shook his head.

who do you mean kill I know who is coming to kill me. I don’t even know how many there are, regardless of age, gender and name.

In fact, everyone except me should be considered the main character.

“Everyone will see the ending anyway.”

At least that’s what I expected.

Even if you play the same game, each play style is different and the ending you want to see will be different.

Some people like hunting, others enjoy life content, and some like to play in groups, such as guild battles, rather than solo play.

wait for a sec.

“By the way, is there a law that requires only those over there to see the ending?”

I felt like that out of the blue.

Wait, I only thought of being hunted because I was the final boss, but it doesn’t have to be that way.

Do not think that the faction is different.

The other side is the human side. I’m a monster

If you think that the starting position is just different, can’t you see me as a player?

If I couldn’t do that in the first place, they wouldn’t have given me the role of the demon king.

The system is fair, even if it is vicious.

Opportunity itself gives everyone. Whether it’s climbing gardens or NPCs.

Wouldn’t it give a new chance to neutral NPCs right now if they had qualifications?

Is it different from country?

I gained a strange confidence.

“I just need to see my own ending.”

You can see the ending of conquering the world with powerful monsters.

Or is it that only the main characters are wiped out? It might be possible to incite them from behind and make them fight each other.

If you change your mind a little, there are many ways. You can decide what to do by looking at the situation.

– Smart

“Come in.”

At my words, the door opens cautiously.

The person who enters is the secretary. It was Medusa with her eyes covered. Was his name Himerun?

Upper body human, lower body snake. I wonder if something similar to Lamia is mixed blood.

“I have finished preparing for internal guidance, Maou. Let’s go.”

A manner of speaking that is respectful but not formal.

Although he was called the Demon King, in fact, it was not an atmosphere that was revered like a god.

A leader, sure, but not worshiped?

At least that’s how I felt. Well, maybe only those with a certain level of class do that.

It wasn’t strange.

‘The Demon World was similar.’

It’s not the Demon Realm, but the atmosphere itself was similar.

It was different that there were all sorts of monsters instead of demons.

This is the first time I’ve done official work since entering the castle yesterday.

If I had to say my job, it would be to inform the inside of the castle and the current situation for me, who has just been released from the seal.

It was a moment when I needed some information. No matter what you do, you have to know what will happen.

Demon King’s function. The number of monsters possessed and their combat abilities.

There were many things to find out about the position and level of those who had to deal with in the future.

“Let’s go.”

Did you say that beginning is half done?

It’s time to investigate the Devil Castle in earnest.

* * *

In conclusion, there was nothing.

nothing really

“…How has the castle been operated until now?”

“I collected funds that I didn’t have, and I used them sparingly.”

“A poor demon castle.”

I sat down in an oversized chair.

It didn’t take long to look around the inside of the castle.

Because there was nowhere to look around.

The castle itself is big. But the inside is empty.

It must have felt full yesterday.

‘Come to think of it, the building was empty. It was full of monsters.’

There were no portraits of previous demon lords, gold and silver treasures, fancy chandeliers, or monster breeding grounds.

There was only a candle holder that I had put a single candle in that I cared for, a blanket that had been washed but faintly stained, and a wooden bowl that I was sure I had made myself.

The room was clean as if there was only cleaning to do.

‘Shouldn’t there be a weapon for practice at least at the training ground?’

When I went there, all of them were hitting iron poles with their bare hands or wielding personal weapons.

The kitchen is the only place where things go smoothly.

The rest of the space was cold.

It was said that there was a lot of fighting because the monsters were training while sweating at the training ground outside the demon castle, but now I see that there is nothing else to do.

Even the guys in the training ground are all low-level monsters. Should I say that there are only a lot of heads and no real speed?

‘More than 90 percent is lower grade. At least there are a few guys who are currently working with a secretary.’

Everyone was busy eating and living, except for Medusa, who was bored because there was no demon king.

What am I not the devil? Shouldn’t you show your face though?

Is this something you’ve only heard about?

I had many thoughts, but after hearing Himerun’s explanation, I was speechless.

“Since they are actually running the castle, we starve when we are away.”

“okay. You have to eat rice, rice.”

Whoa. He let out a small sigh.

Obviously, even before it started, I was fantasizing about conquering the world or something, but it was a vain dream.

“Do you want to go in right now and see the match?”

“If you want to commit suicide, I recommend doing it alone. I want to live a long time.”

“You talk too much.”

“The standard is to raise funds and strengthen our power.”

okay.

There’s no rush in the beginning.

I wonder why in a defense game they didn’t send out the bosses from the beginning, but rather the weak ones first. Is there a reason like this?

It wasn’t that I didn’t send it, it was that I didn’t send it. I don’t have the funds to draw troops.

I have nothing to say because I am caught up in a strangely realistic reason.

I wanted to go in alone and play the game.

[The Devil needs an item to go out to the human realm!]

[Going out- 100 gold]

[Small going out- 10000 gold]

.

.

.

[Play Tip. If it’s hard to go out, try expanding the area!]

Going out also costs money.

Somehow, if you look at the game, all the boss mobs are in their own area.

In the meantime, tips are given like a real game.

It’s weird, but it’s useful information. It is also a way to expand the area.

Whatever you do, funding is essential.

“How do I earn gold?”

“It is also a way to obtain treasure through mining or exploration. There are also ways to make and sell things.”

“Sell something? to whom?”

“Humans.”

“…oh.”

already dizzy

They attack people with money sold to them.

In a way, this might not be a bad thing.

“In fact, weapons made in the castle are popular. There are minerals that can only be found here. Of course I can’t do it now. We don’t have the money to run the forge.”

no. The one who stabs the monster with the knife he bought from the monster seems more evil.

Tired of the bizarre relationship between man and monster, he rubbed his eye bones.

Why does the hyeonta come all of a sudden?

I want to go home. I can’t go because of infinite coins.

Silence lasted for a while.

“Let’s explore exploration first.”

“A good choice. There are many unexplored areas.”

I’ve looked around the castle, so I need to take a look outside.

I’m going to have to get some fucking funding.

I’ve tested how I can solve it with the points I have.

[Only goods inside Pantademia can be used.]

It was blocked by the system.

good night. If it comes out like this, I move with the thought that I am playing the game with all my heart.

It’s because the ruler of this place set the rules like that in the first place.

If you want, I should be like that too.

‘I’ve figured out how it feels.’

Unlike enemies who can attack at any time, I have to fight within the realm.

You can participate, but you have to use it strategically unless you can definitely win because of the heavy burden, and you have to develop this place even for the normal operation of the demon castle.

in short.

‘Defense Tycoon is combined.’

In a way, it can be seen as a real-time strategy game.

I’ll have to try and find out more.

* * *

After getting ready to go out, I left the castle with Himerun.

As soon as you leave the training ground, you will be in an unexplored area.

A faint blue curtain is visible.

Mawangseong is a form surrounded by a huge dome. It’s kind of like a territorial mark.

[Do you want to enter the unexplored area?]

[The first entry must be performed by the demon king himself.]

“Uh. go in.”

Part of the veil comes off along with the message.

Upon entering, what greets me is a green meadow.

Warm sunlight with cool breeze and rolling low hills.

Looking at the rabbits hopping around, my heart is naturally healed…..

-Bpaak!

“Kikki!”

Suddenly, a flying stone hits the rabbit.

You turn your head to something.

“We need to find food. This is nice. I have a lot to eat.”

Saying it was nothing, I saw Himerun taking out his bag.

“Are you crying?”

“no.”

Just salty. I wiped my face.
