18 – Ji-Won Choi is not cheap (1)
“Hello! Where have you seen us before?”
“… “
“Maybe… Aren’t you at Korea University? I think I saw you on that campus!”
Shuhuaak!
As before, Choi Ji-won slashes my nose in an instant.
“… Stop bothering me and get out of here.”
I don’t think it’s a Korean university.

“Isn’t that Shinchon University by any chance?”
I’m sorry.
“Or… Anam University?”
I’m sorry.
“Hyehwa… “
I’m sorry.
“Sessions… “
I’m sorry.
“You’re being rude. f*ck you.”
I’m sorry.
I called all the universities I knew, but all I got back was a cold knife, not a warm greeting.
“I don’t know many high school names… “
There are three possibilities.
First. I don’t know which university that woman attends.
Second. That woman never went to university.
Third. I got the correct answer, but I’m an alumnus, and I’m a crazy b*tch who goes out with a knife first.
Whatever it is, it seems impossible to elicit a meaningful response by simply pretending to know.
Could intimacy be the problem?
This time, like the past episode, I learned swordsmanship from Choi Ji-won.
“Whoa. Whoa.”
“I’ve taught you enough to teach you, so stop going now.”
“… Mr. Support.”
“Are you going?”
“If you ask me something… “
“No.”
“… “
Just don’t give it a chance from the beginning.
No matter how good a citizen cosplayed, the door to Choi Ji-Won’s heart could not be opened.
Even if you do good things, you will not be treated hostilely, nor will you be treated favorably.
As if providing food was an obligation, he just kept silent.
Every time she received a meal, she tried to say ‘thank you’, but she never got an answer.
Choi Ji-won doesn’t give a meaningful answer no matter what I say.
I was so annoyed that I pretended to be crazy and attacked.
“Cucumber! Soko no Jose!”
“… Be patient, booby. No matter what, ‘crazy bastard’ is serious.”
‘… I never said anything like that?’
A fist that swings at lightning speed.
Peruk!
[Damaged.]
[Return to the moment you first entered the 0th floor.]
***
This time, though, the attack was faintly visible.
The problem is that you can’t stop it even if you see it.
The fist was bent in a strange trajectory and flew, but the angle at which I was holding the sword made it an unstoppable course.
In fact, it would have returned even if it was blocked. The punches were f*cking strong.
“… Poisonous year.”
I don’t know what the problem is.
No matter what I do, I just won’t give it to my opponent.
Did you mean Choi Ji-won was a character that could not be attacked from the beginning?
f*ck… Should I just give up and go find the boss?
I think you can definitely find the boss if you put in the time.
Or you can follow other people around.
For example, on the morning of the second day, firefighter Ajae took a group of survivors out of the clearing.
Clearing a way out of the vacant lot in advance, and following him around from the second day…
“Huh?”
Wait a minute.
Anyone else?
I’m not talking about getting someone else to do weird things for me.
Choi Ji-won was always cold to everyone, and I’ve never seen him talk for a long time except for Baek Da-hye, a girl with short hair.
It doesn’t mean that they are discriminating against me. She was treating everyone like a psychopath.
I want to use ‘other people’ in a slightly different way.
“hehehe… heh heh heh… “
Choi Ji-won.
I’ll test your limits.
Wow!
[Damaged.]

“Hey, heck, heck heck… “
Running. Running run again
Even though my body had lost even the last drop of moisture, I no longer sweated, my head was foggy and dizzy, and I was out of breath.
Kim Junkyu could not stop.
“Kwaaagh!”
A large goblin was chasing after me frantically behind my back, holding a sword.
It was fine until the first day I entered the tower.
After discovering that killing goblins will drop food, Kim Jun-kyu and his party walk around the inside of the tower with a light feeling like playing a game.
I had little to eat, but I never felt threatened for my life.
The cold weapon in my hand was sharp, and the goblins were weak.
The three of Kim Jun-kyu and his party spent the first night comfortably.
Because the sense of crisis had disappeared, his steps were full of confidence, and his shoulders were straight.
While walking majestically, Junkyu Kim and his party encountered a large goblin sitting on the back of a tree.
“Junkyu hyung. Does he look a bit strong to be honest?”
“Hey. Our level is already 10. Even if I catch goblins now, I don’t even get a message. It’s time to change the prey.”
From noble mtl dot com
“I see… “
I didn’t think it might be dangerous.
I thought goblins were goblins anyway.
The first to step out was his younger brother, whom he became close with after coming to the tower.
“Brother. Maybe it’s because I put all my stats on my strength, so now I think 3 vs. 500 Is possible.”
A younger brother who seems to be giving strength to his biceps. The bulging muscles are very reliable.
“That bastard, I’ll come back with a side lateral raise. Look Carefully.”
The younger brother who ridiculously approached the mutant goblin holding a hatchet in both hands.
Shuhuaak!
“Huh?”
After the hatchet was stolen by a mutant goblin who suddenly moved quickly.
Digging!
“Ouch… !”
Just like that, the bone was split in half.
“Uh… uhh… “
Around the time Kim Junkyu and the other one were frozen unable to accept the reality.
The goblin didn’t hesitate, picked up the other hatchet and threw it at it.
Pahak!
Unrealistically breezy sounds.
Around the time when the body of the person standing next to him fell over and hot blood splattered all over his face.
“Uh…. aaa!!!”
Kim Junkyu started to run away like crazy.
Run like that for about 10 minutes.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa…” “
Although Kim Jun-kyu’s stamina increased as his level rose, sprinting for 10 minutes was unreasonable.
“Whoops!”
Suddenly, the vision turns round and round. A sharp pain felt in the inside of the lips, whether it was taken with the front teeth.
Did I trip over a rock? Even if I try to get up late, I can’t get enough strength in my hands.
“hehehehe. hehehehe. hehehe… “
A deformed goblin slowly approaching, exhaling heavily.
He looks pretty tired too, but he’s in much better shape.
“Please… anyone… help… “
Will I die like this?
Killed by simply touching a large goblin by mistake?
I just imagined that I would die of old age. The death I actually faced was disgusting, frightening, and soggy.
“Please… “
“Kheelheel… “
The moment when the big goblin wiped the spit from his mouth with the back of his hand and pointed his fingernail at Kim Junkyu.
Sugeok!
With a sharp blast, the goblin’s movement stopped.
A mutant goblin that slowly bends forward without saying anything.
“… Uh?”
No. It’s not about bending over.
As a result of the cut on the back, the upper body was separated from the lower body.
Chuhwaak!
The green blood that splatters here and there belatedly.
“Are you okay? Wake up.”
And since when did he stand behind him, the savior who raises Kim Junkyu up.
I couldn’t see his face well because the sun was shining like a halo, but I could clearly see the knife with the green blood on it.
“Ah… Ah… “
Did this man save me?
Thank you. Thank you thank you… !
I couldn’t get my voice to come out because my throat was choking, so I kept repeating thank you in my mind.
“… He also has F-class characteristics. Doesn’t this add up?”
The savior who speaks to himself in a low voice. His gaze, which had been lingering in the air, was soon fixed on my face.
“What is your name?”
“Junkyu Kim… I am Junkyu Kim… “
I barely answered in a cracked voice.
The savior who asked my name gave a small nod and immediately grabbed my shoulder.
“Mr. Junkyu. Is it hard?”
“… Yes.”
It’s hard.
Two close brothers died.
Just before he died, he was barely pulled up from the Styx River.
This tower was not a place where you could comfortably hunt like an RPG.
It was a space for the survival of the fittest to die and kill.
When Kim Jun-kyu faced the harsh reality, his heart was broken.
“Because I am weak… sorry… “
Kim Junkyu lowered his head.
But the savior patted him on the shoulder with a benevolent smile.
“It’s okay.”
“… Yes?”
“It’s okay to be weak.”
“But… “
You cannot survive in this tower if you are weak.
Kim Jun-gyu was already afraid of battle. He wasn’t sure he could defeat even the weakest goblins.
You can’t get food and water without killing them. Kim Jun-gyu was weeded out.
“No.”
The savior shook his head.
“You can survive even if you are weak. Even if you are weak, you can enjoy life.”
“But how… “
Chuck.
The savior pointing in a certain direction with that mysterious finger.
“Go back.”
“… Yes?”
“Where I first started. Go back there.”
He caressed my back with warm hands.
“Is there a warm shelter, water and food, and people to greet you?”
A sweet story as if there is a heaven.
“… Yes.”
All Kim Junkyu could do was nod his head.
Choi Ji-won.
Let’s see how many people you can feed by yourself.
