Stuck in The Tower - Chapter 765
Chapter 765:
Absorbing the concept of a method like this is a kind of gambling.
Regardless of the risk of the process, the attempt itself was impossible without suitability.
In that sense, I was lucky.
The king of worship wanted to turn me into a piece of chaos and sent me a concept that was perfect for me as a gift.
I have two gifts in total right now.
“One exploded.”
This is a concept that suits me without hesitation.
It’s only natural since I’ve been blowing my socks off since the beginning of climbing.
It was obvious that if we could get it, it would have a tremendous synergistic effect.
Next one.
“This is a bit unexpected.”
“Yes.”
[Concept forcing raises a finger.]
Force.
That’s strange.
To me, who has lived a life of being kind and giving only the right choices to everyone, is given this concept.
Even Bedrock Vaaluze does not have all the concepts, so it seems like there are a few miscellaneous concepts mixed in as well.
Since he is a king, he may make mistakes because he is busy.
As I was shaking my head, Melody stuck her head out next to me and let out an exclamation.
“and! “This is yours!”
“Anyway, maybe it’s because he’s such a monster, but his head feels weird. “To have a more human heart.”
“ok? no. Just looking at the cancer, it looks like a perfect match for you?”
I easily ignored the guy who was talking nonsense.
Coercion is like a land mine, so just put it in your inventory.
“I guess I’ll have to go with an explosion.”
I decided on a concept to absorb.
There is only one Stone of Regret anyway, so you can only try it once.
‘Well, if I manage to absorb it safely, I might try again.’
That’s an issue that needs to be seen.
The only ones with more than 3 concepts were the King of Worship and the Fallen.
The result is something no one knows, and it is unclear whether it will be usable even if it is absorbed.
Bedrock Vaaluze If you look at it, it was possible because he had the ability to collect and use concepts.
You have to try anything to find out.
Preparations are almost over.
-Ugh.
A wind blowing softly with a subtle sound.
We went into the ground.
Since the place has been created deep underground by moving tunnels, other strange creatures and collapsed people will not be able to find it easily.
Even if they come to visit me, I have two high-ranking monsters, Deokchun and Mangu.
I tapped Melody on the shoulder.
“It’s going to start quickly, so please check your surroundings carefully.”
“With him?”
The guy is pointing to one side with his eyebrows furrowed.
In the corner of the tunnel, Sephirim, still asleep, buried in a pillow, floated around.
“snoring. Dororong.”
He seemed to like the cool, dark place and was even snoring.
He was extremely carefree, but his abilities were real, so I had no choice but to leave him alone.
“If something goes wrong and the cave collapses, you’ll wake up.”
“It’s not wrong. “Do your best!”
Surprisingly, this guy takes his place with cheers.
He usually just grumbles, but is he still worried because we still have time together?
It’s special for no reason.
Since even monsters have personalities, they can be companions if they share a common mind…
“Hehe. “If this guy dies, will I be free too?”
As expected, these monsters can attack you at any time, so you must not neglect your guard.
He’s like a wild cat that will bite any chance he gets.
After glaring at him with cold eyes, I lay down.
I felt like it would be a good idea to try it in as comfortable a position as possible.
I held the concept in one hand and the stone of regret in the other.
If a problem arises, I plan to use it immediately.
-Kwajak.
Phew.
I took a deep breath and broke the concept at the same time.
Smoke rising like dust spins around in the air and sticks to me.
[Concept explosion seeps into the suitor!]
I flinch.
Saseonbangol reflexively tried to react, but was suppressed.
A feeling of something foreign infiltrating me.
Rather than simply having something enter the body.
‘It feels like something is being engraved on my soul.’
It feels like a trace is left in a more fundamental place.
This is why I can’t come to my senses when I become strange.
Lightly at first, as if checking the seasoning.
Then it took root as deep as an awl.
– Excited!
“Keuheook!”
A shock that penetrated my very being ravaged my entire body.
The pain that I couldn’t even scream.
I thought I had experienced all kinds of pain so far, but this was out of the norm.
“Turn it off!”
Even as my entire body was being twisted, the pain continued to pierce my soul in countless ways, and the side effects began to appear.
Perhaps it is because I have absorbed more concepts than my limit, and my consciousness spreads and the world spins.
crash.
The forces I had were all mixed up, tangled, and competing.
-Quaang!
Each time, a resounding shock penetrated my brain.
The sound starting from the soul showed off its power as if it could shatter the body.
-Aaaah!
Blood spurted out from the cracked body.
I knew it instinctively.
That people are in the process of becoming monsters.
Cognitive dissonance.
The feeling of being tangled and intertwined.
-Jjuuuuk!
-Puzzle. Crash!
The height of the field of view rotated arbitrarily, the sense of a tail or wings that were not there appeared and disappeared repeatedly, and the speed gradually accelerated.
The more changes occurred, the further away I became from my original self, and I began to change myself, with the body following the soul and the soul following the body.
It was difficult to express in words the experience of so many overlapping forms of me, but I knew one thing.
‘Dangerous!’
Losing myself and being swept away by a runaway concept, something made of me is about to be born.
I am facing myself turning into a monster.
Why do NPCs struggle to maintain their sense of self?
What I used to only understand in my head, I am now keenly feeling with my body.
-Teoup.
Without realizing it, my hand holding the stone of regret gained strength.
Are we going to kick out the concept now?
Or will you endure it?
‘Kellen also said that it lasted several days.’
Of course, he absorbed it when he had no concept, but it is true that he endured.
If I endured it like this, I might be able to absorb it.
‘Maybe he suddenly loses consciousness and turns into a monster.’
No one knows the outcome.
Even if you only make the best choice, the end may be hopeless, and there may be light along the way.
[Excessive concepts have been absorbed!]
[It is an appropriate concept!]
[Powers that cannot be contained in one container are intertwined!]
[Chaos is in the air!]
[Caution!]
[Personality is collapsing!]
Eventually, even the system began to sound warnings.
“Khaaaaaak!”
It felt like hell even now, but an even more shocking shock ran through my whole body.
Deokchun and Melody are seen shouting something from the side for a moment, but nothing is heard.
All my senses were focused inward, on my soul, and the pain of my ego being torn into pieces continued as if echoes were spreading.
‘After all, 3 is too much.’
It’s nothing else, it’s an explosion.
In terms of compatibility, this is the concept that suits me best.
If that’s the case, it’s impossible to even try anything else.
No, in the first place, wouldn’t greed for more concepts be an option to destroy oneself?
It’s really dangerous now.
You should use the Stone of Regret while you are still conscious…!
[The luck stat is flashing!]
-Ssssss.
It was then that I felt a change.
The concepts that made up me slowly moved.
Is it because I realized that my condition was not good?
Things that were fiercely fighting the explosion change their positions.
From confrontation to neutrality.
Next, they each exchanged influence and showed a firmness that did not allow outside intrusion.
[Concept Bangool has a strong opposition to tolerance!]
Bangool went out of his way to deny the limit on the number of concepts I could accept.
[The concept of shame secretly hides itself.]
Shame lives up to its name and kills its presence.
Reduced pressure and empty space.
My soul, which felt like it was going to burst at any moment, now has some peace of mind.
[The conceptual explosion takes up a new home.]
The explosion settled in a corner of my soul.
Dramatic change!
The concepts that occupied my soul without any space became balanced and began to orbit.
Organically and gently without invading each individual’s territory.
Although Ban-Gol was still humming as if he was dissatisfied, the exquisitely harmonized balance of power was solid.
“I bought it and lived.”
The swollen body gradually returns, like air bubbles rising.
My whole body felt cold and creaky due to the burden of my rapidly expanding soul and body, but I no longer felt the same pain as before.
Again, little by little, the power is increasing.
I’ll need more time to recover, but that’s okay.
“Aaaah! “I did it!”
I have 3 concepts!
I can only explain it as luck.
In order to absorb concepts beyond the limit, in addition to suitability, harmony with the existing concepts was also important.
What would it have been like if we had a concept other than rebelliousness and shame?
Could something like this happen again?
I don’t know, but it’s probably not a very likely story.
“I also did something with the luck stat.”
I didn’t see him for a while so I thought he was dead, but he does it when he does. Good luck stat!
“Yeah yeah.”
“Keeeeek!”
“Huh? what? Did you succeed? why!”
“and. “That’s it.”
I wasn’t the only one who was happy.
Deokchun and Mangu Melody were also happy.
Seriphim also woke up now and looked at me with curious eyes.
He received a small round of applause and bowed like a gentleman.
“I lived without giving up.”
What can I say now?
okay.
The ultimate Evileye itself.
I no longer had to worry about those who had collapsed.
-Bambambabam!
[Congratulations!]
[You have completely absorbed the three concepts!]
[Rewards will be given.]
[You will receive the title Irregular!]
Even the system congratulated me on my achievements.
[Irregular-Title]
-Beyond the level of existence!
-Go beyond the limits of what your soul can accept!
-You have stepped into the realm of the impossible.
-You can move forward to possibilities that are invisible to others!
It’s been a while since I received a title as a reward.
I like the name first.
‘I’m not sure about the effect.’
It would be easier to understand if it intuitively said that the stat would increase or that a correction value would be added.
Still, it’s not an easy title to obtain, so it might not be a bad thing.
The system rewards you more generously the more difficult tasks you accomplish.
Anyway, the urgent matter is over.
“Now everyone.”
Eyes focused on my voice.
I slowly nodded.
“Stay alert.”
It fell straight to the floor.
To be honest, I was tired both physically and mentally.
I fell asleep soundly.
* * *
Bedrog Vaaluze, King of Worshipers, looked to the sky.
His eyes were full of curiosity, and the corners of his mouth turned up.
What will the eyes of a person who is the ruler of a level and has risen to the level of existence see?
The culprit was unknown, but he could guess.
“Oh. Did you succeed in accepting the gift?”
That you notice something that others cannot see or feel.
Physical distance had no meaning in that gaze.
flow.
Or change.
Maybe birth.
Recognizing the appearance of such a being was a pleasure, a duty, and a desire for Bedrock Vaaluze.
Above all, it goes without saying if the target is someone you have been eyeing.
You can’t even be mistaken.
That’s right.
[The title Irregular looks at the new divinity.]
He also had the same title.
4th.
Evileye was the fourth person to receive this title.
Not everyone in the previous group received the title Irregular by acquiring three or more concepts.
There were multiple paths to obtain the same title.
That’s why it was even more special.
The fact that there was someone who earned the title in the same way as him.
“Top will like it.”
His smile becomes brighter.
Kuuk.
Did you gain strength based on your emotions?
“Turn it off!”
Kellen, whose head was stepped on by his foot, gritted his teeth.
