Stuck in The Tower

Entering the tower

towards the safe zone, seeing many strange things and going beyond common sense.

There are stories I’ve heard and things I’ve personally experienced, so I thought I was the type to just skip it.

“I didn’t expect this.”

It’s like spirits and fairies drowning in a lake.

Before the world changes, beings that can be seen in fantasy.

After the tower is created, NPCs are recognized as unapproachable superhumans.

There were some guys with pure brains like Rilka, but overall they were outstanding in their fields.

“What should I do, Deokchun?”

“That’s it.”

A guy looking at me with his arms outstretched.

yeah you don’t know

Humans and toads have similar eyes.

It’s like a clever guy.

For now, I calmly checked the message.

[Saving the earth spirit Mobilidic.]

[Saving the fairy Chihirin.]

[Cho Hyeon-soo can only save one target.]

His eyes narrowed.

this is not an option

A message appears asking you to choose the options given as clear conditions.

Does the real option come later?

He rolled his tongue in his mouth and was lost in thought.

either way.

There is a saying that is a joke.

If me and him fall into the water, who will you save?

I never thought I’d see this in real life.

[Mobilidic asks for help!]

“Me, me, my beer bottle… save me!”

Guys desperately seeking rescue.

Mobilidic didn’t speak to me directly, but communicated through messages, but that’s because the Demi Demon I met on the 42nd floor was like that too.

Let’s see.

“Should I save you?”

“Wow?”

Mobilidic looks at me with wide eyes rolling.

Chihirin sinks into the water with a bewildered expression as if she had heard it wrong.

“You also have the option of not seeking it.”

There are given options, but based on experience, you don’t have to follow them.

Until now, I have never decided on the right choice.

Now that people are consistent, I don’t even want to follow the choices.

I wonder what will come out

[Mobilidik exclaims that he is too dumb.]

[You are a friend of the spirits! He says he has no doubts that he will save himself.]

Ah, come to think of it, yes.

I got that title by completing the quest of Hainu, the Queen of the Snow Spirit.

He stares at me with eyes of firm trust.

It seems like my eyes are moist because I drank water.

As if unable to lose to this, the fairy waves her arms and rises to the top of the water.

“Oh no! The one who killed the Mestoca larvae! You will save me!”

larva?

That’s right. You said that killing the larva raised the affinity of the Fairy NPC.

Elves and Mestoca.

There must be something between the two that I don’t know about.

Either that or not.

I sat down leisurely.

The two continue to talk, perhaps nervous.

“Strange.”

I clicked my chin.

“No matter how much it is, it doesn’t make sense to become an NPC and die by drowning.”

Mobilidic?

It is an intermediate level spirit.

Since spirits should be classified as monsters, they are a very talkative race.

Like the fairy, it was a mysterious existence, but it was not completely devoid of information.

Gates where spirits come out are rare, but they did exist.

Depending on the environment, they can become infinitely stronger, and sometimes disappear naturally after doing the wrong thing.

It’s hard to define because there are so many different cases.

“If it’s a mid-level spirit, it’s at least 4-star. If it’s at the level of an NPC, I’m sure it’ll be much stronger.”

Information shown through authority.

Earth spirits cannot swim.

What is it?

It just sinks and goes into the ground.

“The fairies said they couldn’t fly if their wings were wet… They literally couldn’t fly, and there was no saying that all other abilities would be sealed.”

Even a beer bottle probably has at least one mobile device.

Whether it’s an attack skill or a defense skill, you can transform it and escape.

leaving everything else

“You’ve been doing that for 10 minutes already.”

“To that.”

Could it be if it was really urgent?

Did you say Chihirin?

I’ve seen him go in and out of the water dozens of times.

I’ve seen people drown in the sea before the cataclysm.

Fortunately, there was a lifeguard nearby, so he was saved, but he was shocked because he was young, so he is still alive.

At that time, he could not come out of the water three times and sank.

How is this guy holding out like that?

simple physical?

If I had that kind of ability, I think I would have come out a long time ago.

I looked at the options silently.

The tower doesn’t tell you everything.

As if I didn’t say that you don’t have to choose the given option right away.

“Aww! There’s a system restriction, you idiot!”

[Mobilidic tells me that this lake doesn’t have a bottom.]

[They say bodies are being scattered!]

The two spits additional information, perhaps realizing that I have no intention of moving.

It’s a system limitation.

If so, it makes a little sense.

“Are you an asshole?”

“I was talking to myself! I’m an asshole!”

Let’s glare at it, and it immediately shrinks.

why Why did I see Rilka’s figure in that strange fairy?

[Mobilidic appeals that he didn’t say anything.]

A frown. Blinking guy.

OK you 1 extra point.

Realizing her mistake, the fairy’s expression becomes urgent.

“He is heavy! It’s very heavy! I groan lightly!”

Chihirin, who went into the water for a while, was right.

Mobilidic.

It looks like a whale, but it’s also quite large.

It’s not that he can’t take it out because his stats have also increased, but it seems clear that he will have to suffer quite a bit.

So what

I got up and put my feet in the lake.

Moderately cool feel.

The water was calm and there were no aquatic monsters to be seen.

I walked right in the middle of the two.

until your knees are locked.

All you can do on foot is from here.

As Mobilidic said, the bottom cannot be seen from now on.

The distance between the two guys was roughly 50 meters.

I looked at Mobilidik and Chihirin, whose faces brightened.

I have already decided what to do.

But…

‘It’s just a pity to save him.’

I asked with my arms crossed.

“Tell me what I can do for you if you save each of them.”

[Mobilidic is shocked at the unexpected development.]

“Hey! bad cor. young!”

You can call it garbage.

It’s a remark that seems to have a problem with personality even from my point of view.

‘This is a tower and I can’t go downstairs if I go beyond the safety zone.’

You have to take everything you can get from each floor.

You can criticize me for being savage and lacking compassion, but it’s the same with me being driven into a corner.

If you want to go outside, you have to go all the way to the 100th floor.

At least for me, this part is non-negotiable.

There was a bit of a fuss, but they both realized I wasn’t going to change my mind.

there was a competition

[Mobilidic tells you that it can bestow the protection of the earth spirit.]

“Dry your wings well, and I’ll give you fairy wing powder!”

[Mobilidic snorts.]

[He says he can give you precious minerals buried in the ground.]

[He says he knows the location of the mithril ore.]

“Ewwhale! Fairy kiss! This is a great buff… rgg.”

[Mobilidic’s pass to the underground city…]

“The bee wine I stole from the fairy world…!”

Oh.

what a lot

I tried dragging some time, but nothing more seemed to be gained.

Because things were getting weird.

[It is said that Mobilidic can show an aerial 3-rotation show!]

“I’m good at massaging!”

Let’s do this.

I feel sorry for the two NPCs.

What would you do to see a mud whale do tricks, and how cool would it be to see a fairy the size of your forearm rubbing your shoulder?

-Jaak

I clapped my hands and ended the overheated but not overheated competition.

Guys waiting with bated breath for my choice.

“Okay, should I keep my promise?”

[Mobilidik swears by the name of the spirit.]

“I promise by the mystery of the fairy!”

Along with the remarks of the two NPCs, light is emitted and connected to me.

I guess it’s like a contract.

Then let’s try it.

“Go Deokchun.”

“That’s right.”

After reading my thoughts, Deokchun stuck out his tongue and started swimming toward the fairy.

I also hit the footsteps to where the Mobilidic is.

Originally, I was thinking of saving both.

[Cho Hyun-soo can only get one target.]

This was the condition.

There was no limit to Deokchun anywhere.

Did my expectations come true?

Deokchun wrapped his tongue around Chihirin without any disturbance.

“Uh, does it weigh a little?”

[Mobilidic himself is very slim and has good proportions for a mid-level land spirit…]

“Yes, yes. It’s okay.”

I too was able to contact Mobilidic.

heavy

It’s fortunate that it’s underwater, so if you pull it, it comes with it.

I thought it would take a long time just to swim, so I used the skill.

Frozen Break.

– What a bummer!

An ice bridge leading to the outside of the lake.

Magical power was continuously consumed, but it endured.

Grab the ice and pull the mobilidic repeatedly.

After wrestling for about 10 minutes, I could barely reach the ground.

[Successful rescue of Mobilidic]

[Successful rescue of Chihirin]

When Deokchun came up to the ground at the same time as me, a message appeared that the rescue was successful.

Chihirin lies on the floor and catches her breath.

They also spit out water in between.

Mobilidik, a mud whale, vigorously shook himself off to dry himself, but then plunged himself into the ground.

Seeing them swimming freely on land made me think that whales were whales.

Let’s leave it for a while.

You should give me time to rest.

“Shall we eat too?”

“That’s it!”

Deokchun, who spreads his hands in delight.

I bought a lunchbox from the shop window and ate.

Tower has an ambiguous concept of time.

There are places where day and night do not change, and there are many cases where day continues when you go beyond the portal to another floor.

In other words, you have to adjust your condition according to your biorhythm.

-The rumbling

sound you hear when you’ve eaten half of your lunchbox.

As if she had finished recovering, Chihirin was sitting on the floor looking at me with her mouth watering.

Lunchbox to be precise.

Mobilidic is similar.

Blinking eyes and fixing gaze.

As soon as I lifted the lunch box, my eyes follow it.

I’m going to eat it

It’s shameful to be harsh with food.

“Would you like to eat too?”

“huh! Are you good?”

“I’m a bit nice.”

Deokchun glared at me with a displeased expression, but I had developed a tolerance for such a contemptuous gaze.

[Mobilidik says that spirits cannot be eaten unless they are imbued with spirit stones or magical powers.]

Time to buy another lunchbox and hand it to Chihirin.

The mobileidic wriggles sadly.

It’s a spirit, so it’s tricky.

Is there anything suitable

Spirit stones are a bit expensive.

“Can I eat these too?”

I took the meat of the wyvern and the flesh of the mestoca larvae from the subspace ring.

Whatever it is, a by-product of a 5-star monster.

It’s not much, but it has magic power.

It’s because it’s with Dokdo.

Nod!

Seeing him move his head vigorously, it looks like he can eat it.

Take it out and throw it up into the sky.

– Tup!

It quickly rises above the ground and bites down.

Even though dust may bounce, it permeates into the ground without any resistance, perhaps because it is the spirit of the earth.

To him, this place is no different from water.

It was so much fun that I repeated it several times.

[Affinity with Mobilidic has increased.]

The message that the affinity has increased came to mind.

He’s a guy that’s easy to get along with.

than that.

‘Why do these guys look so lacking?’

How does it compare to other NPCs?

bluff? It’s lame… This is a bit harsh.

He’s a bit fierce, but he has a strong feeling like a good friend.

Perhaps Deokchun has a similar sentiment, he sneaks up next to Chihirin and plays a joke on her.

“I ate well.”

time to finish eating.

I called the two guys together.

Gradually, I will get a reward and share some stories.

As for the first question.

“Tell me first why you were drowning.”

also this one

I understand that a part of the power is sealed in the system constraints.

But that’s not why it fell into the water.

Aren’t they the ones who know best?

You can’t do anything when you go into the water.

I’ve been waiting for an answer

[Mobilidic says that there are hardships to go to the safe zone.]

“Do you want to live in a safe zone too?”

The two gave unexpected answers.

this.

It smells like a quest.
