1 – Episode 1. You don’t have a resema? Why?
After passing through the long border tunnel, it was snowy country.
Is a phrase.
There’s no way I’ll ever have such a nice intro in my life.
In my case, it was just a f*cking happening.
I was definitely sitting in front of the computer a while ago, but then I blinked and saw that I was sitting in a cave.
The strange voice that kept ringing in my head was a bonus.
『Everything in this world is at the top of the tower.
So, sad climber. Go up
Climb the tower while hiding your doubts and desires.
If you do that, at the end of the spiral corridor, you will have everything in this world in your hands.
That should be the only truth.』
In this place where there is no bottom and no possibility, where the sky is dark everywhere and the cold air creeps up from the floor, I just lay there.
Sit by a bonfire that smells like smoke without knowing English
Beside me sits a grumpy thug who looks over two meters tall, a stooping white-haired old man dressed like Obi-Wan Kenobi, and finally a curly-haired kid with strangely pointy ears.
I blankly listen to their stories.
What is this all about… While thinking.
The kid was always scared, and the gangster had a smile on his lips wondering what was so fun. And it was Grandpa who spoke mostly.
“So… To put it all together, they all seem to be from another world. The tall nobleman is a royal guard from the Kingdom of Balor, and the boy is a mercenary from Horut Forest?”
The boy replied.
“I… I’m a woman… And I’m a real mercenary… Don’t laugh like that…”
No girl. Not my knowledge
“Heh heh… Are you laughing? I’m just researching you as a scholar, mercenary. Then… Um. I introduced myself earlier, so now you’re the only one left. Black-haired young man, where are you from? Say something.”
As soon as the grandfather finished speaking, colorful eyes of sky blue, gray, and amber turned to my mouth.
The black-haired young man is, of course, referring to me.
Because I’m Korean, I have black hair, and since I’m 27 years old, I’m also a young man.
Hmm… No one has ever asked me to introduce myself, and I resent the unnecessarily thoughtful grandpa even in such an absurd situation.
Whether in reality or in the unreal, I’m comfortable being alone.
Anyway. There are things that I sat and listened to, so now I have to open my mouth too.
But how should I introduce myself?
These people are mercenaries, royal guards, and scholars.
Hmm, how about something like this?
I dropped out of high school and learned to work at a restaurant from the bottom up.
That’s why I’m so good at washing dishes.
I opened a restaurant with the money I saved for 5 years, my parents’ inheritance, and a loan pool.
I rolled it all up with corona and ate it all up, and I was stuck in my room for two years, only playing games.
Then I woke up and found that it was here.
Thanks to you, all I have is a set of pajamas with a sore neck and a bag of knives filled with love-hate haters I can’t even remember how I got it. I’m stuck on my way home, so please help me just once.
Uh…
This is the correct answer, but it’s a bit like that.
It’s a burden to explain what a game is to noblemen who have popped out of fantasy, and above all… It’s embarrassing.
Unemployed people have no place to stand in Isekai.
Shouldn’t you have robbed a bank in a cool way before playing games in the corner of the room?
I don’t know.
He took out the chef’s knife from his knife bag and said.
Those people have bows and canes on their backs, and even the thug guy has a knife on his waist.
I’m unemployed, but I have to pull out a kitchen knife to get TPO right.
Well, it’s good that I seem to have excellent adaptability.
“As for me, Alpanora has made a name for itself in the world as a watering cane. See this knife? The number of people immersed in this is eighty and seven.”
“…”
“…”
“…”
I didn’t specifically ask you to believe it, but the expressions on your face are spectacle.
But what am I supposed to do with this?
His career is all about his career in the ruined restaurant business and corner game, and he hates people like that, so he says he’s a human desiccant with zero sociability who lashes out at self-introduction.
Grandpa twitched the corner of his mouth for a while and was the first to break the silence. There seemed to be no will at all to hide a smile.
“Cancer, it can be. Maybe there is a world where assassins are famous. There must be a method of swordsmanship where you leave a dagger in good condition and use a kitchen knife to cut people down. I respect you.”
After that, the thug also started laughing.
The girl’s complexion returned to her face as if her tension had been relieved.
And…
I’m a little bothered.
No matter how much I think about this situation, since it’s such an idiotic happening, I’m going to warm up the bonfire. After taking a nap or sighing, won’t I wake up in my cozy bed?
Even if I try to escape from reality like that, this situation where only the sense of reality becomes clear will bother me.
The cold air blowing from the darkness, the smell of mold coming through the stone walls. The sound of muddy footsteps breaking through the crackling bonfire.
No matter how much I think about it, this is 100% real and you… My precious corner went to Audi…
When I arrived here a little while ago, the thug who had arrived first informed me of the current situation.
The place we are in is a ruin that is blocked on all sides and there is only one exit.
There are three unknown bodies near the exit?
[One complete white bone. As a rule of thumb, it’s been dead for over 10 years, and the two are… Pretty new. There was an abdominal wound, so the cause of death must be bleeding.]
One room with a campfire and three bodies.
It’s strangely gloomy just to hear it, but it was a very familiar description to me.
Perhaps… Have you seen that scene at least ten thousand times?
For two years, I was playing games in the corner of my room.
And at some point, there was a dog tag hanging around my neck, and I knew the identity of this dog tag all too well.
The voice I heard right before I came here was unfamiliar, but I was familiar enough to memorize the contents.
So, this must be a place I know.
At that moment, the man lifted his heavy hips and said.
“I think the introduction is over now, so let’s stop talking about it and move on.”
“Hmm? Didn’t you say there was something outside the door? You say you’re not even a person?”
“No way… Let’s go out that door? I don’t know what might be…? If it’s a monster, or maybe a ghost… Uh…”
“Ah, why are you doing that? No matter how much we talk here, isn’t that voice the only clue? You want to climb the tower Besides, there is only one exit anyway, but if you go out and investigate, will you know? You may meet more people like us. You can even find a village. So let’s move.”
“I hate moving without information… But you’re right. Yes i have to go What will happen if we sit here and talk?”
“Good idea.”
“Still, I feel reassured that there are talented people like you. You don’t know how lucky I am that I’m not alone.”
At the words of the grandfather, the man shrugged and the girl bowed her head.
A man full of confidence, a laid-back grandpa, a timid girl, and a thoughtless me.
Even though the four of them seemed to be in an equal situation, the reason why they reacted differently was because of the dog tags hanging around their necks.
Before we introduced ourselves, we shared the contents of the dog tag with each other in order to identify the identity of the tag.
By the way, it was also at that time that I learned the identity of this place.
The shape of the dog tag is “Tower of Eternity,” A game I’ve been playing in the corner of the room for the past two years.
In short, it was the same as the interface in the TOE.
A dog tag that acts like a status window in the TOE.
As expected. When I put my hand on the necklace, information poured in before my eyes.

A runic-like fantasy unfolds before your eyes.
I was convinced after seeing that realistic scene.
This is where RealLuda cheats the game, and now I’m standing at the starting point of the TOE, as I’ve been doing every day for the past two years.
There’s no way to refute it, so I just have to admit it.
When we shared the contents of each other’s dog tag, the job of the giant man was [Veteran prosecutor].
It is the top job of the basic [Warrior] Job, and it is one of the three rare jobs with an S rank in combat power.
A firefighter job with an S rank in both rank and combat power.
Once I get caught in that job, no matter how good my skills are, the first floor is a free pass, and I have the confidence to reach the fifth floor with a 90% chance.
And the grandfather’s job is [Restorer of Ancient Magic].
Have you played it twice? I’ve only been able to do it twice, so it’s a super rare job.
It’s extremely painful in the beginning, but if you manage to break through to the 20th floor, it’s a crazy job that counts as two fingers among all jobs with firepower.
And sadly… The girl sucks.
[Backpacker] Has a large inventory, so you can try playing full of mulberry flavor, and it’s fun like crazy, but…
That’s it.
Even a deceased person like me has less than a 10% chance of leaving the first floor, so he will most likely die within today.
Once the game has started, it cannot be undone.
But the amazing thing here is that I’m jealous of that girl.
Even backpackers have a higher C rank than me. Lol…
The real life was ruined by Naguyon.
A chef in a game that is a series of battles of battles of battles.
[Job: Wandering Chef (Rank D)]
I can assure you that during the 5,000 hours of TOE, I have never seen a production worker, let alone a chef.
No, is there a concept of eating in this game in the first place?
There were things like [Strawberries] And [Meat chunks] Among the artifacts, but they’re hard to see once or twice a week.
Aside from that, there’s nothing like rice, right?
But… Why am I hungry in a game where there is no meal?
I don’t think I’m the only one.
From noble mtl dot com
The man said.
“Now that it has been decided, let’s go. To be honest, I feel like I’m going to die of hunger. I need to find something.”
Maybe this…
It may be every day.
