The Tutorial Is Too Hard

“… godmother? ”

”You remember me. ”

I remember, of course.

Meeting with the godmother was a big shock to me.

A large fox and powerful enough to make the surrounding space cozy.

I used curses and ghosts in my sleep to protect my own kind, killing people from afar.

And the fact that he's in the process of being an apostle of the Lord of Commitment.

Perhaps the godmother is a divine being that I first encountered, at least I recognized myself.

At that time, the godmother's ability seemed to me like God enough.

Of course, he tried to come at me with a knife.

Obviously, I wasn't myself.

“How did you become a god when you were on stage? ”

”I've been outside since the beginning. ”

I can't believe you were out there in the first place.

It was hard to understand.

“What is your name? ”

Before asking for more details, I now ask for the identity of the goddess.

If you want to know about God, you must know his identity.

Sinmyung represents the identity of God.

“Sacrifice.”

I was also good at asking for your identity.

I could find out a lot just by hearing the godmother's identity.

“I thought the 61st floor was designed by the God of Commitment. ”

”He was involved on the 19th floor. Where you and I met. No, there's a fishbowl in the horse. This is where you and my remnants met. ”

Remnants.

Instead of changing and completing themselves to become gods, they abandoned the impurities and moved on to completeness.

The godmother I met was in training to become an apostle.

I was so weak that even when I fought the quarrel, I was obsessed with sheep that I could barely avoid it.

Perhaps there is still a godmother on the 19th floor who will raise an apostle in her mind.

in repeating time.

However, the body of the godmother already stands on the throne of the apostle, and describes the past as a remnant.

The godmother on the 19th floor was thrown away in eternal chains.

Like a platform for the body to go to a higher hardness, the body remains in place with all its purpose.

“Isn't it fun? ”

“Fun?”

The godmother smiled and said.

In a good way.

”Your position. It's similar to mine. Of course, the stage was originally designed that way. You and this woman are the first challengers to reproduce a process like this. The winner goes up, and the loser stays here forever. ”

The godmother pointed to Lee Yeon-hee standing next to her.

Lee Yeon-hee continued to look bad because of the presence of God standing right next to her, whether she felt uncomfortable breathing.

Maybe the relationship between the godmother and the remnant saw my relationship with her and came up with a bad outcome.

“Don't be so angry. I mean you no harm. I'm also a vaccine god, and I know how crazy you are. Like the gods of other vaccines, I would not be involved in this. I just wanted to watch. ”

The godmother said as if she was having fun.

“This situation? ”

”Yes. Whoever wins, I wanted to see that scene. ”

Sacrifice.

It may seem lofty, but it's basically taking a loss to gain something.

Even if that godmother meant sacrifice for herself.

I would not consider others' feelings or positions for my own interests

It was such a god.

“The god of dedication must be sad. ”

”Haha. I can't help it. What can I do? This is also a complete section. ”

The gods are like psychopaths. It's not a day or two, but the gods of this sacrifice were a little harsh.

He was a sociopath's favorite god.

It was God who benefited mental health that was not as relevant as possible.

Let's get down to business.

“It's starting to come. ”

After Yeon-hee Lee and the God of Sacrifice, the other gods are finishing one by one.

It was quite slow compared to the god of sacrifice.

God can wield considerable autonomy in places where his influence and power are abundant.

Like the god of hope who turned even the stage's goals upside down.

If the God of Sacrifice designed this place, it's no wonder he was so strong and spoke to me one step ahead of the other gods.

“It's time for me to leave. ”

He said as if it were a waste of the god of sacrifice.

I missed you, too.

“Why. There 'll be more. ”

”Haha. Do you think I'm an idiot? ”

In the end, the god of sacrifice disappeared.

Her apostle remains, but stands stunned as a dock.

Damn it.

Keep your eyes peeled.

The god of sacrifice mentioned the vaccine.

There seems to be a difference between the gods of the vaccine and the gods of the Pantheon.

Gods bound by all kinds of constraints.

If the gods of the Manchurian Temple wanted to get involved beyond dimensions, there must be some limitations to collecting information.

I'll have to ask him later.

As the god of sacrifice disappears, a new god's power fills the space.

One by one, the gods complete their resolve and begin to move.

Even one god can feel the pressure.

As the existence of such gods began to build up, the air felt painful because it was too heavy.

For a normal person, skin burns in this air and inhales into his lungs to shake his body.

As the number of summoned gods crossed the bag, the ground on which they were stepping began to crumble to powder.

Lee Yeon-hee fell down and worked hard to spread something.

Her priority was to stay alive as long as possible.

You turn around and check with the group.

Thanks to Yong's hard work, the group did no harm.

I was just looking at it as if it was strange.

In fact, it was only Cedria who was watching, and the rest were vigilant with tense eyes.

[Hey, isn't this a bit dangerous?]

Hotch asked in an uneasy tone.

I have a lot of worries.

The more powerful the gods grow, the louder the arena gets.

They were those who had to say something with the appearance of the gods in order to be calm.

Two thousand beings were strengthened almost simultaneously, but none of them were extras.

They all considered themselves the protagonists.

Naturally, the arena became more noisy and cluttered than the market floor.

No matter how heavy and dizzy you are, what would you do?

It doesn't even sound right.

But the gods did not stop talking.

They didn't even speak quietly. They sounded all over each other and tried to control their own voice and will, so nothing was heard properly.

In fact, I thought that vaccines and temples were supposed to be in this chaotic and noisy atmosphere.

The gods of Icheon will have many powerful purposes here.

Some people are just as interested in me as the sacrifices were.

To save a new apostle.

To see the power I saw in the race, to take that power.

and to figure out how to be independent of the system and the eyes of the gods.

There will be various purposes.

Whatever they wanted, they only thought of me as a target of plunder.

That's why he came all the way out here.

‘I have a proposition for you. Human.’

’It's even more amazing to see. ’

Why don't you fight back? ’

Speak! ’

‘My apostle……. ’

‘You must be scared. ’

I tried to focus on hearing what the gods were talking about, but it was not worth it.

They were just making noise like pigs.

Inside, Lee Yeon-hee was dying with both hands against my ears.

It will be difficult to endure this pressure with her ability.

“Shut up.”

It wasn't until all the gods came to their senses that they were together.

There was no need to wait anymore.

I've already waited too long.

I unleashed the power I had locked away.

“Shut up and listen to me. ”

The noisy arena is silent for a split second.

It didn't matter what the gods were talking about.

I had command here.

“Here I am. ”

Let them listen to me.

“I see the world here and hear all voices. ”

It is a declaration that has been postponed for a long time.

For this moment.

I didn't think it would be so perfect.

I thanked Yeon-hee again.

“My will is the will of this world, and my being proves it. Since I am here, this world is my sanctuary. ”

I asked him to face the gods of 2,000 who are silent, like a hunk of mush.

“You know what this means, right? ”

But no one answered.

Because I didn't allow it.

“Get the fuck out of my house, you pigs. ”

Forced banishment by the spirit.

Even the other gods couldn't disobey that order.

In this place, my will was the truth and the law.

The gods were demoted and banished to their rightful place.

Now there are 2,000 apostles, not 2,000 gods left in the Arena.

The connection to the gods was forced to be broken, and the apostles who were completely cut off began to go crazy.

Some cried out in agony, others rushed to me for power.

There were only moths rushing to their deaths.

Forcibly losing the most precious thing in life, they started running in different directions towards their only remaining light death.

Of course I didn't want them to be liberated through suicide.

The roaring shadow of the apostles shifts in frenzy.

The shadow moves independently like a living creature.

The shadows that appeared to be sticky, reminiscent of the mulch, began to engulf the apostles, their masters.

Cut off the opposing owner's arm and leg to get out of the shadows.

You cut out the master's tongue to cast a magic spell and punctured his throat.

Broken joints and castrated critical areas.

Blood and flesh spatter.

But I didn't hear any screams.

“Ahhhh!”

... Who, the one I just invited.

Turning his head, he was an apostle who came from the God of Sacrifice.

Ah, he wasn't hit when God called him back.

Seeing that I have more time than the others, I struggle hard against the shadow.

I told him a few more shadows for him.

“Don't worry too much. I'm not gonna kill you. ”

Why would I kill them?

They were all my precious assets.

There was so much to use.

First of all, we can use it to negotiate with the gods who came here.

How far can we take away the power of the apostles and the gods that are left in their bodies?

I was satisfied with my thoughts.

“Oh, of course, if your god refuses to trade, the story will change. But I won't be disappointed. ”

Soon all the apostles sank into the shadows.

As I swallowed them all and checked their strength, a smile was raised to satisfaction.

It was a great power.

The power that the forces of the exiled gods had not yet recovered and left in their apostles.

[It's not dangerous?]

I asked Hotch.

[Can't you tell me that in advance? I shouldn't have worried.]

Hotch was still a grumbling voice.

용용이 was breaking down the boundaries he set up one by one.

I was able to summon it at once because I had it prepared, but disassembling is not that easy.

It will take some time.

I approached Lee Yeon-hee who had fallen down.

We have more to talk about.

“Get up."

Lee Yeon-hee's half-dead body quickly recovered, and her body suddenly stood up on its feet.

Lee Yeon-hee stared at herself in a daze, and opened her mouth.

“Surrender.”

Quick to judge, quick to choose.

He is a rewarding student who has been taught in many ways.

A portal appeared beneath Yeon-hee's feet.

And a message.

[Stage clear failed.]

[We should finish talking before we move to the residential area. Yeon-hee.]

I removed the portal that appeared under Lee Yeon-hee's feet to that far away.

She looks baffled again.

“... you're doing everything you can. Adjust the message to the portal. ”

Waiting for a disciple who was capable but didn't come back to die, it turned out that way.

I handed her the story to the next opportunity and made her an offer.

“You have three options. ”

* * *

Lee Yeon-hee, who heard me, opened her eyes and asked me.

“If you let me up, and you magnetically submit the tutorial... ”

”Yes. No. ”

”… Yes. Of course, then you would have told me. ”

Lee Yeon-hee stared at me with very sad eyes.

Of course, I knew there was a way, but I couldn't.

“What choice do you have? Tell me."

Unlike the earlier look of frustration, it was quite calm.

It was still trembling, but it seemed to impersonate the convergence.

“You didn't kill me. You told me what you were offering. At least he won't die. You'll be stuck on the 60th floor for a long time... right? ”

It's not the worst thing you can do once you've survived.

He was right.

I agree with her question.

I was relieved that Lee Yeon-hee wouldn't die.

“There are three choices you can make. One is waiting for a new challenger on the 60th floor, like I did. The second is negotiating with the gods to get out on the 60th floor. I don't recommend this either. ”

It was too dangerous to recommend it to Yeon-hee.

Most of all, there was no reason for the gods to do so.

I have no use for spying on me.

In the old days, we would have been able to get the consent of all the gods of the vaccine, but it is also difficult if the Pantheon intervened.

Hundreds of consents and 10,000 consents must be different.

“My final offer is to be my apostle. ”

Lee Yeon-hee was silent for a moment.

This is an important moment, so I decided to wait a while.

After finishing her worries, Yeon-hee asked with a monotonous tone.

“If I refuse, will you kill me? ”

“… Yes. ”

I was embarrassed because I asked him so casually.

Your conscience. Good morning.]

Hotch asked.

I don't know what I'm supposed to be surrounded by.

If she is not an apostle, the 60th and 61st floors are exposed to the gods.

I had to kill him.

“I'll do that. ”

I inspired her to accept my power.

There was no need for formalities.

I made her an apostle.

“... is it done? ”

”Yes.”

”Now... what do I do? Is that all you have to do is spend time on the 60th floor? Forever?"

”Just go back. Remember my room? I've saved some for you. It should say what to do. You're gonna be busy, so hurry up. ”

Lee Yeon-hee nodded.

Since I was able to escape the tutorial by force, I had to wait for her.

There were 60th and 61st floors of my sanctuary.

I needed someone to protect it.

So I waited for her.

“Mister.”

“Huh. Why. ”

”No... ”

Lee Yeon-hee seemed to have something to say, but she kept her mouth shut.

You will want to say a lot.

I also know why I can't talk straight away.

Later, when time has passed, there will be an opportunity to speak again.

Lee Yeon-hee climbed onto the portal.

The last thing I said to her was that she drives the portal without saying anything.

“You've been through a lot. Good work.”

I don't know how comforting my words would be, but Lee Yeon-hee nodded quietly and moved to the 60th floor.

“It's over.”

“I see.”

Hotch came up to me one day and said,

It's really over.

It was a long time.

When I came up to the 60th floor, I knew that waiting in front of me was blocking me.

I didn't expect it to go this far.

I entered the tutorial and went through all kinds of hardships and adversities.

And actually, it didn't hurt that much.

Rather excited and excited.

The only thing that's ever bothered me is the feeling of helplessness and loneliness that comes from solitude.

Two things I had to look away from every encounter.

I couldn't stand it, I couldn't stand it.

For me, the 60th floor forced me to face things I wanted to avoid somehow.

Eventually, I reached this moment, beyond all of that.

God likened me to the sword at the time.

In fact, it was hard to call it a sword.

I was the arrow then.

It's already out there, flying.

I was hoping to hit the target, but the target was actually too far away.

I was forced to run out of strength and fall or break an arrow in the wall.

I'm not perfect either.

There were still limits to abilities.

They are still swayed by emotion.

I didn't have the strength to be mature.

Neither consistent nor consistent behavior

If Hotch and Dragon and others disappear by my side right now, I may not be able to bear it and go back to the way it was before.

I've been mistaken several times in the past, but the truth is I'm still incomplete.

But as I continue to think and learn, I am changing.

And when I looked back, I was sure that I was getting better than ever.

It's growing.

That was important.

That's how we're going, and that's how we got over the 61st floor threshold.

“Are you going straight to Earth? ”

“No.”

Before you go to Earth, there is a place to stop by.

“I have a friend I want to see before I go. I promised to grant you a wish. ”

You stand on top of the portal.

Hotch and Yong Yong also stood along the portal.

The inspiration and the grandmother couldn't stand on top of it, so they took a finger at a time.

The portal's light brightens its vision.

When the white vision began to reclaim color gradually.

I could see the field unfolding beneath the blue sky and the rabbit smiling brightly.

“Kirikiri.”
