I'm still hungry.

Who said this?

[Target level is too low to gain EXP!]

I don't know whose word it is, but now it makes me feel so amazing.

"... Too bad."

Due to the recovery effect of leveling up, I fought without rest for almost eight hours, but I am very energetic.

Spiral towers are vomiting their prey, no, demon soldiers.

The problem is….

[Target level is too low to gain EXP!]

Even if you kill Demon Soldiers at some point, your EXP will no longer increase.

'You can't get EXP if the gap with the other person is too big.'

Missed!

It didn't bother me to rob a weapon every day. I smashed the soldiers' heads with bare fists and smashed the system window that was created on the sides.

Player Information

Name: Hwang Jae-min

Level: 24

Strength: 374

Agility: 378

HP: 353

Intelligence: 374

Since the level was 22 before entering the Soul System, it looks like you only have 2 level ups after coming here.

"I didn't expect the dream of infinite level-up to be so frustrated...."

Now the Demon Soldiers have become nothing but dust in order to gather dust and launch Operation Thai-san.

Well, let's think about it. I didn't even expect you to have a chance to get EXP from the soul system.

"I think we should stop playing with you now."

[Grunts]

"It was dirty to see you and never again.... Oh, no. If you don't like it, I'll only see you in two years..."

After twelve hours of struggling, I went beyond the tiredness and now I crushed the faces that looked neat one after the other.

Unlike before, when your fists were within reach, you killed one person carefully.

Quaaang!

Now only those who obstruct the path leading to the rear spire will be able to blow it properly.

If we destroy that spire that constantly summons them, this fierce fight will end.

That way, while sweeping them away with a human bulldozer.

[I sense your struggle, the system is not stopping!]

[Skill, Perseverance (A)] has been awakened!]

Skill acquisition message appeared at a completely unexpected time.

Even with my eyes twitching for a moment, I whistle and smile.

Plus or minus, I'm pretty sure. '

You acquired a skill in the yard that was unfortunate because EXP could not be acquired.

When fighting Living Armor, it is similar to when you acquired enchant skill through accidental enlightenment.

'Then, Choi Guanghyun and Seo Chae-yeon said that they gained tenacity skills after fighting for more than twelve hours without rest.'

If I remember correctly, perseverance will be a skill that increases all stats by 15% when HP falls below a certain level.

He's a passive guy. He's famous for his prowess.

"I came here to fix the dog bottle and I'm going to get an unexpected harvest."

When I was done talking to myself, the Spire was already welcoming me from the point of view.

Let's... We have to do something about this guy now.

'It seems too ignorant to smash it as soon as it comes.'

Leaving the possibility, it is not uncommon to hit the Spire with bare hands at the size of a building.

The way I looked at the Spire, wondering if there was an efficient way,

"It turns out..."

Above. Stopped at the top of the spire.

To be more precise, I stopped at the black jewel with a glowing glow near the top.

Whenever that gem emits light, Demon Soldiers are summoned.

If so, what?

'Even if you look at this, you won't notice that the gem is the nucleus of the Spire Tower.'

However, it is quite high up to the top.

I think it will be hard to get there even if I run as hard as I used to.

"No fucking items."

If there was an Ascension emergency, you didn't have to worry about it.

You can't do that.

"Even this time, I was forced to borrow the help of demons."

[Yells!]

If my mother had listened to what my son might have said when he responded that his illness was getting worse, I took away the spear of the Demon Soldier who had come to my side.

As a token of my gratitude, I kicked his abdomen with all my might, then lowered my knees and focused Mana on both feet.

At the same time as the commissure gets taut as if it were going to explode.

Quaaang!

I stepped up the ground vigorously and flew high in the spirit of making the sinkhole.

After blinking once, my new brother reached the top of the Spire.

"I think I was in class F 10,000 years ago..."

As I felt the sensation approaching, I pulled my arm back with a spear.

Bloop!!

Ether's flame, like the sun, covered windows and windows.

If it's this distance,

"200% hit!"

Paaang!

The spear I threw became a red line and was shot at the jewel.

The moment the flying spear tore through the atmosphere pierced the black jewel, the violent sound made the ear eat.

Urgh.

When my fallen foot touched the ground, the spire was already collapsing.

"The jewel must have been nuclear."

[Argh!]

[Argh!]

Even the squad of Bohemians, who were squawking without a foothold, turned to dust and disappeared.

[You have passed the 'Upper Trial'!]

[The path to 'Central' opens!]

A gate was created right next to it, scarily before the inscription appeared in the air.

'Let's just take a breath.'

I've been fighting for twelve hours. Not much physical fatigue, but a little less mental fatigue.

It must be hard to change the mood by breathing some clear air... What kind of clear air is there in such a cruel wilderness?

"Phew…."

When I sat down to rub my feet, even though I had struggled to jump high.

"... Huh?"

I felt an unusual energy in the rubble of the fallen spire.

Wait. I feel something like this...

'I think the energy trait resembles the soul core.'

My trained sensory stats tell me not to ignore it.

There's no reason to rush down to Central anyway, is there?

I decided to check something out a little.

Every time I remove the debris that builds up like a mountain peak, the unidentified energy pierces my skin even stronger.

Finally, let's get rid of all the debris.

"This is…."

Between the pieces of black jewelry I destroyed earlier.

One bead of ping-pong ball was emitting an intense wavelength of Mana.

"The nucleus of the Spire was a gem, is this the nucleus of the gem again? '

It was an unfounded conjecture, but I was convinced of one of these.

This bead is similar to the soul core, but slightly different, and there is a potential for more manna.

'The gem of the Spire was a source of power that constantly summoned demon soldiers.'

It's called a summoning engine for an infinite amount of time.

But what if I could absorb the energy in that engine?

Of course, it is possible that this bead is not the core of the jewel.. But if my feelings are right.

It's never gonna be so bad.

It's a gamble worth trying.

"I learned from my mom not to pick up anything while I was on the road..."

I twinkled my eyes and reached out my hand toward the bead.

"Let's just be invalid today."

It felt like she was secretly scratching something, but she didn't really swallow or put marbles in her mouth.

Instead.. Break!

Just like when you absorbed the power of the soul core, you broke the bead in your hand.

At that moment, I was flawlessly flawed.

I was half-hearted, because I really felt the energy in the bead seeping into my body.

'... Is this really happening?'

It may be different. Somewhere like a soul core, a heterogeneous Mana quickly gathers into a battle.

Immediately after swallowing dry saliva.

[Assimilate Mysterious Energy!]

[You can increase the grade of your Passive Skill by one level. However, it does not apply to EX skills.]

"Skill Upgrade…?!"

Oh, my God. Really?

The message popped up, as if the answer was true.

[Current upgradeable Passive Skill: Perseverance (A)]

There are only two ways to rank up a skill.

Whether you meet certain conditions or borrow the help of a skill upgrading device in your association.

'The former is hard to fulfill until you know what the condition is.'

Usually, the skill is used for a certain number of times and for more than a certain amount of time.

The problem is that the word 'schedule' contains at least three digits, at most five digits.

It means it's hard to know the terms.

In particular, upgrading Class A skills is not accomplished simply by pouring time.

'The latter... is just a thing that Taeho acknowledged as well.'

The chances of success of the skill upgrading device are less than 3% on a C skill basis.

What are the chances of success for Class A skills? Lottery number one wins seem to be higher.

What if it fails? Phew.

It is not even free of charge.

Who's doing this?

'But you can simplify the skill upgrades with such a small success rate?'

That's a grade A skill you just got, too?

In the end, the two letters "Bonanza" filled my head.

"... I've never heard of a class S tenacity skill."

But he is famous for being special among A-class skills. But if you upgrade one more step here, you will see what results will come out.

I couldn't stand the curiosity and immediately executed a skill upgrade.

[Skill, 'Perseverance (A)' has increased to 'Perseverance (S)'.]

[Skill name will be modified to 'Unbearable (S)'!]

Skill Information

1. When HP is consumed by 50% or more, all stats are increased by 50%.

2. When your HP is consumed by 50% or more, your damage will be reduced by 50%.

Perfect without the need to add.

The performance that had originally been in place was improving even further and new effects that had not been reflected in expectations were beginning to add up even more.

At first, Dior was angry because of this bastard..

"I should thank you when I see you."

He's probably waiting for me at the bottom. I want to see you soon.

Feeling satisfied, I entered the gate to 'Central'.

* * *

One moment.

As soon as I crossed the gate, I thought my vision was blocked and my heart was throbbing.

Because 'Central' was a dark place all over the place.

"It's just a dark place to see your hands and feet. '

Fortunately, the eyes quickly became accustomed to coming out of the darkness.

Let's take a step carefully.

Abrasion.

The sound of stepping on the puddle resounded loudly. But I don't think it's ordinary water.

Slowly and slowly I moved forward with an unpleasant feeling.

"Why doesn't any message show up?"

You passed the 'Upper' trials safely. Humans.

"Oops, SiX. It's a surprise."

Suddenly, a swearing voice echoes through the entire space without my knowledge.

The owner of the voice was Dior. I looked around quickly, but I couldn't see him.

"Where are you talking from? You think there's a broadcast room in the soul system?"

This is the bottom. I've been watching you here all along.

"Voyeuristic perverted child."

.. Apart from the harsh tone, you really have a marvelous skill. I used to bite pretty hard. In that sense, I have something to offer you.

"I have something to propose. Why don't you join our squad, you bastard."

.. Huh?

"You were just about to say this, weren't you? It's an obvious repertoire, well."

I sighed as if the floor were going to turn off.

"For obvious repertoire questions, I think only obvious repertoire answers. So let's stop this nervousness and get to the bottom of it. That makes you comfortable, too, huh?"

.. You're kicking yourself without a chance, fool.

Once they're gone and I'm on their side, she'll kill me at any cost.

Oh, I can't imagine.

If you had accepted my offer, you wouldn't have had to go through the 'Central' trials. You will regret today's decision even if you die.

"Uh, the trials. You weren't planning on designing it better? I'm not joking, but I think today was the first time I ever got out of a yawn fight."

Yawns... Huh.

Are you laughing right now?

From now on, screaming will be better, not yawning.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm sure you will."

Tired of obvious comments, I yawn with my mouth wide open.

['Central Trial' has begun.]

[Kill the enemy in front of you to open the path to the 'bottom'.]

Boogie! Boogie!

The floor in the branch began to bubble as if it were going to vomit something right away.

What sandbags are you going to show up with this time?

Can you kill the one creature that you love the most for your own good?

"What?"

You have a strong fighting power against humans. But I don't even know if it's the river of mental strength.. I'll leave you to it.

.. Wait.

What are you talking about?

'Nuance is like....'

The moment I realized that something that came up through the floor had a human contour.

An ominous feeling struck Smurf.

From now on, what you need to kill is someone you value most in your life.

Then, the black water covered in tears flowed down.

And finally.

"Ah."

The identity of Yeong-young, who was wrapped in a Seekerman veil, was completely revealed.

"Ah…. SiX…."

My most beloved being. Someone I value. Not to mention,

Haha! You look pretty good.

It was my mother.

By the way, it's a full-tempo.

Just like I was possessed in the Reverse Dungeon.

Perfect Fultem for waist dancing to the sword of salvation.

You. If you don't kill her, she'll try to kill you!

Hey, E.

Even if it's fake, I'll see if I can trample on the person you love!

That's not it, you lunatic.

Let's see if you have the courage to kill someone precious to you!

No, I'm not.

That's not the problem...
