7th floor – Tidy up
Life as an exile is something unimaginable from the outside.
What would happen if you lived such a life?
The human body does not become infinitely hard just because it is trained.
The principle of the martial arts training method, which trains the knuckle part of the fist, is to recover after inducing a microscopic fracture.
The bones that are reattached will gradually become stronger, but parts such as ligaments that are not bones are a different story.
It seems to be getting stronger right now, but no one knows when it will become crippled due to bone disease.
I believe that the mind is no different from the body.
It becomes particularly blunt rather than hardened.
Even though it is so dull, there is a feeling that suddenly stabs me.
That’s when I get a little tired.
* * *
Eliminating the remaining personnel was very mechanical.
There were no exiles with particularly threatening equipment or abilities.
Even if it is long and flying in its own way, it is only 7 stories tall.
Possessing a gun, or changing the race to an angel.
That’s weird.
Our party is weird enough.
What was special was that the assassin who was hit by the girl’s back kick and flew away was still alive until the end.
Whole body fractures, etc. blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Healing potions belonged to the Ranger Party, so they were able to save them.
With a sad smile, the angel was about to take the life of his party.
“Can’t you see?”
“……yes?”
If you go to the next floor anyway, Sam is there.
There was no reason to save the potion now.
The revived assassin was bewildered, and the angel’s eyes widened.
He also released the tied ranger party and called in.
In the meantime, she calls a girl, a hunter, and even the youngest.
Because the map is a map, the weather is very cold. They went into a suitable burrow and had them dig a wall.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Just lighting a fire inside the ice cave makes it warmer than you think.Except for our party anyway, most of them didn’t have proper cold protection.
The faces of the survivors begin to turn red.
It was an igloo-like classroom.
The girl looked up and memorized while taking notes in the admiring place.
There are many such experiences.
It is an early strategy that I put together in the distant past, when I can’t remember exactly when, when I was trying to spread my knowledge and save people somehow.
There is no difficult content. They are simple to understand and easy to use.
At first they were skeptical, but when they saw even the angels listening, everyone focused.
The class ended only after the sun went down.
At that time, everyone was impressed.
Our party members who were already familiar with it are the same as usual.
The angel asks cautiously.
“I’m sorry, senior, but may I ask what your age is?”
“Uh, ’97.”
Now there’s no reason to hide.
They are exiles who will never meet again except for the angels, and they were together enough to have enough interaction with the party members.
The youngest just nodded to see what the youngest was saying, and the girl just looked like that.
The hunter seemed a little startled, but soon understood.
It’s the rest with their mouths wide open.
“Hey, you’re not at the level of a high ranker.”
“Isn’t there a few people who challenge themselves right before the end?”
“You’re just going to retire.”
“Ugh, don’t talk like retirement. It’s disgusting.”
Seniors who are called rankers and high rankers and that are technically not contenders.
The challenger dies and goes to another world.
The clue to liberation, the possibility of escape.
These are the guys who have already given up and just want to stay in the kingdom and enjoy wealth and glory.
Retirement is just a declaration of not going to the front and taking power.
Well, such behavior itself is not a bad thing, but the problem is that the challenger is treated like an idiot and annoyed.
What should be left alone, I keep an eye on the awesome equipment or cards that the challenger might bring.
I can’t like it at all.
In most kingdoms, such guys have already established themselves, formed guilds, and held power.
“Yes, yes…”
The angel responds with a dog-like expression, only the tail. He seemed to be quite shy in the beginning, but now he is very wrinkled.
I wish there was only half as much power as a girl.
“So you’re going to ride my line?”
“Of course. Senior!”
It is extremely rare to enter a new kingdom after 70 years or more.
Existence itself is a topic of discussion.
You can’t hide your age in the kingdom.
I will be exposed too.
Then I experienced how tired I was.
The process of resolving that fatigue is also very tiring.
So I’m going to send an angel first.
Even if the 47-year-old angel jumps out of the tutorial, it will be a topic of discussion, but if it is enough, it will somehow be able to establish itself.
It’s kind of like a starting lineup.
This round I thought I was going to do something really special.
This is my first time doing this.
Fresh.
“I’ll do my best!”
“I do, but other than that, there is something I need to do first. It’s very serious.”
“yes?”
“Let’s practice flying. We also learn how to handle the race of angels. I’m really ashamed of seeing feathers flying.”
“Yes… yes?”
The expression ‘I didn’t know what kind of expression to make, so I made all of them.’ It feels the same. How could all the joys and sorrows be contained in one face?
It will soon be painful and sad.
* * *
In fact, as I, who was holding the initiative by myself, was silent, the atmosphere on the 7th floor was running strangely.
Our party members were just fixing their weapons as they usually do, or consulting me about mind maps, but the others often just sneak a glance.
It was also due to lack of strength because everyone knew that it was the end of the episode anyway.
Of course, some people came back to me and asked me questions. Rather than being peculiar, he responded with a mechanical regret.
With the presence of a girl, the atmosphere is relaxed little by little.
This is an implicit rule of the PVP layer.
When everything is over and the result is decided, you are no longer an enemy.
There are those who feel sorry for the dead party members, but few make themselves a grudge.
It is because the interaction is short and dull at the same time to give such emotions.
As a result, as time passed, most people became satisfied.
“If kobolds appear in the beginning, explore the underground…”
“There is a change of position among the races within the faction depending on the suffix of the god.”
“Surprisingly, fairies also eat meat.”
“Orc characters you should know…”
Don’t ask why the academic atmosphere is there.
They must have been through a lot of situations that they wondered about or were difficult to judge.
There is no internet that can solve it with a single search, so it is always trial and error.
Although he did not reach the kingdom this time, he may have saved dozens or hundreds of rounds.
So in the end I even got a thank you. It’s funny. Thank you to those who kill them here.
But it’s such a place.
Goddess says
“It is also strange. I rarely see an old veteran like you, but I’ve never seen anyone who wants to remain human like you.”
‘Yeah, you have to be a human to clear it. I’m going home. I want to live as a human there.’
“It’s also strange. Don’t you just want to enjoy wealth and glory in the labyrinth?”
If you try to be like the rankers in the kingdom, you can do it. No, I’d rather do it better.
‘I’ve lived for a long time, so I don’t know when I started thinking like that. It’s just a game at first, so of course you have to wake up. I guess that’s what he was thinking.’
“Hmm, is that the first motive? I think being obsessed with something is an important factor in surviving in the labyrinth.”
‘What was the Goddess?’
You cannot reach the new throne by resting as a ranker. It is a place that even the exiles who have challenged to the end can reach.
“… … I can’t remember now.”
In fact, if you are a god, you don’t need a defense mechanism. If you are tired, you can simply surrender yourself to the flow of the divine throne.
‘Aren’t there Manshinjeon by the way?’
The 7th floor is a layer with quite meaningful probability.
Manshinjeon can appear anywhere on odd-numbered floors.
However, it is difficult to see on the 3rd floor, which acts like a party recruitment plaza, or the 5th floor, which is the boss floor.
So, usually the first time you encounter the Pantheon, it’s on the 7th floor.
“In the Pantheon, the vision of the gods is limited. I don’t know either.”
‘After all, there are no believers other than us.’
“Isn’t that angel going to give it to me?”
‘That’s right.’
“Fufufufu, it’s exciting. I also wanted to have an angel or devil follower. It’s because I’ve only been watching what other gods are proud of every day.”
It is an undeniable fact that if you have a Shinto who is an angel or a demon, your life as a god becomes quite rich.
But there are parts that bother me, so don’t tell me in advance because you like it.
I went to the edge of the iceberg where there was no one and sat down.
I could see the frozen sea of ice that made my heart magnify just by looking at it.
Most of them are not frozen, but ice is floating everywhere and swaying in the waves.
The sunset is also going down.
It is a quiet, lonely, romantic scene.
Odd layers are not part of a continent like even layers.
It is a form close to subspace somewhere independent.
So this is a land that is not on the continent. If you leave this floor, it will be a landscape you will never see again.
“Why are you so emotional?”
“Appreciation? I’m just watching.”
A girl’s voice was heard.
I was surprised when he appeared after killing the footsteps, but he did not express it.
“I’m not surprised at all. Did I mean to attack you with the king?”
“Yeah, it must be cute.”
Actually, it seems a bit surprising.
“I have something to discuss, is it okay?”
“A little bit of dating advice…”
“No, how do you talk to yourself about that! Really!”
He seems to be trying to make an angry expression, but only his nose is wrinkled. lips are smiling
He’s a kid who can’t control his facial expressions.
Whether I agreed or not, the girl sat down next to me.
even say
“Do you know what I did outside?”
“Exorcist.”
“Ah, that’s what it meant….. It was more like a hero than that.”
“… these days, high school students also come to middle school?”
“no!”
That’s the story the girl was talking about, arguing.
It is said that monsters attacking people constantly appear here and there on the earth.
A family with some superhuman powers is responsible for protecting the world from such things from generation to generation.
“Ugh, it sounds like a very shameful thing to say. In the West, it’s called a hero.”
“Then it must have come to be called that in Korea. The history is similar.”
“Well, it’s roughly like that. Actually, it’s not that big of a deal. I just get called after school and go to deal with it, or cooperate with the police to subdue a fugitive criminal.”
“Does it feel like a private contractor for the police?”
“It’s true. It was popular and it wasn’t. It just felt like a job? In my case, it’s a family business.”
It’s a world where it’s hard to know if it’s peaceful or not.
“So what’s your concern?”
“Child, I’m in the mood, but I’m not delicate.”
“Men are like that.”
“Anyway, it was a job to protect people. That’s what I thought and that’s what I’ve been doing. I’ve always learned that way while I was training since I was young.”
“So, did you endure the hard work?”
“Yeah…but…”
He is a child with many expressions. The depth of the water calms even the corners of the eyes, which are always cheerfully raised.
There was a sniffling sound.
“I suddenly became unaware on this floor. Why, you’ve always attacked first.”
If you think about it, yes. Outlaws were criminals with malicious intent. It was also clear that there were refugees to protect.
And for Greenskins, if the first person entering the labyrinth can treat a different race like a human, that would be even greater.
No matter where I looked, I didn’t even look like a human.
“The first five people I saw in the ice cave, their outfits…”
It wasn’t a party they knew and got through. Rather, to some extent, it was the kind of luck that I reached.
The second theme has become snowy fields, so there is nothing we can do about it.
Clothes and clothes from the outside world like jeans, T-shirts, hoodies, albeit tattered.
And there was a guy who managed to fix his broken glasses.
“And the person who was wearing the padding… suddenly had a thought. What am I doing?”
“Didn’t you murder outside?”
“What about a criminal who can’t be subdued?”
“How did you feel then?”
The girl ponders for a moment.
“I didn’t mind, but I was very scolded by the adults.”
“why?”
“Don’t stab people while laughing.”
“Oh, that’s kind of like that.”
I was really just staring at it.
The girl’s expression becomes strange.
Like a cat who knows my fault, it crumples and snarls.
“Ugh, but. Even though I wasn’t really a person, I just liked the taste of slicing… I was praised by monsters when I did that.”
“Is that really all?”
“I’m being honest, so I’ll be honest. People are a bit more savvy… Ugh.”
He wiped away his tears and wrinkled his nose again, contorting his face.
You seem to be seeing a scene where reason and emotion collide. Isn’t it more painful because you are fully aware of what you should never do?
what should i say about this A well-educated psychopath?
If that’s the case, though, I have something to say.
“Isn’t the world really different from what you learned in school?”
“It really doesn’t sound like anything. I’ve never learned the labyrinth. I’ve heard that it’s a noble profession to keep peace at home and at school. Is it okay for me to be like this?”
That’s puberty. Some puberty comes late.
If you live your life as you are told, rather than thinking deeply about yourself, that’s what happens sometimes.
There are surprisingly many people who encounter themselves for the first time only when they come to the labyrinth.
Even if you’re not particularly young.
A land that no longer has a fence to protect it, or a fence that it has been protecting.
Bring only one body and face your own life completely. It’s an experience you wouldn’t normally have.
I used to say the same thing to party members who sometimes complained of such mental problems.
“Then trust me.”
“yes?”
“You follow me because you like me. Because you like me, you give advice like this.”
“It’s a bit stale when you talk with your own mouth…”
What do you do when you wake up?
“I assure you, you’re doing well. That’s all you need to do. Don’t worry about whether it’s okay to kill people. I think that’s just how we live with each other. Wild animals are like that too, right?”
“yes…….”
“I’m fucking dope. I know roughly what’s going on here. Even if you don’t know, just hit it and you’ll be right.”
“yes.”
Sometimes, when you are tired, there is a reason to quietly settle down somewhere to soothe your heart.
I should always remain the center of the party, the person everyone can count on.
That’s how the party runs.
If there is no pillar strong enough to be deified, it will collapse in the second half in an instant.
So I always say
“If you’re wrong, I’ll tell you first. Even if you’re having a hard time, I’ll take care of you first. Even if you don’t come to me like this, I’ll go first. This is the party leader. Okay?
“Ugh. What should I do? More reliable than Dad. Sigh.”
“Daddy’s voice…”
“So, brother?”
“It was after we dated.”
For a moment, it felt as if the girl’s ears and tail were pricked up. No, but I feel it anyway.
“Uh, is this a confession now?”
“No, you’re going to take on the challenge. I’m always cheering for you.”
This response should be done with an expressionless expression and a mechanical tone without emotion as much as possible.
The girl’s eyes move to find emotion in my face.
of course it fails
“Mr. Lee. The conditions for this are too vague.”
“Isn’t it the condition that you started and made it your own way?”
“Huh, I’ll confess to you first. It’s perfect.”
“Would you like a hug?”
“yes.”
He lowers his tail and brings him into his arms.
Said the goddess, who was watching quietly.
“You are living a very difficult life.”
‘What’s wrong with Insa this time?’
“To be joking, the burden you are carrying seems too great.”
‘How come you speak so maturely?’
“It’s because I’m an adult. Sweetheart.”
‘That’s right.’
God is good
Even after 97 years of countless lives, I used to have conversations like this after I stood out and became close to God.
The gods always understood me.
Thousands of years of life is an area that even I cannot understand.
If you live that long, it seems that you really become an adult.
‘Can I frown sometimes?’
“If you need.”
‘Thank you so much. It’s okay even if the Goddess frowns on me. Let’s comfort each other and live.’
“Oh, I don’t always do that.”
‘I heard it and it is.’
Wait, after some time the goddess speaks again.
“Why don’t we just let each other say things like this and betray each other? Shouldn’t you be converted? yes?”
‘Ah, give me back my emotions.’
“You have to live to be moved. huh.”
