The Tutorial Is Too Hard

“Ugh…… ”

Tears like beads fall down your chin.

No matter what I was so sad about, I could see the grief of the Kirikiri in my face.

I was confused whether or not.

Wouldn't anyone?

If someone you know is bawling and crying right next to their ears, your mind will get confused.

The reason Kirikiri was crying was simple.

Cake, as always.

I bought a cake like I always did, and there, Kirikiri, Yong Yong Yong, and even Cedria showed up after Hotch for a long time.

Of course, the sheep had to be small.

Kirikiri thought about the cake that Yong Yong and Hotch had taken and ate every time.

It was to put away the cake that belonged to him.

Unfortunately, Serenia took what was in someone else's hands, unlike Hotchna Dragon.

Thanks to you, Kirikiri was poking at my side and bawling and crying.

I didn't have to think about why I was crying when I came to my side.

Yong Yong approached Kirikiri.

용용이 itself could have taken a little cake and eaten it, I was restless with an expression of sorry.

Eventually, I bought another piece of cake to calm things down.

Kirikiri sobs and laughs.

“Thank you!”

I sat on my knee holding Yong Yong who was holding her eyes open because she was surprised by Kirikiri's rapid attitude change.

And then I started to look at Cedria, who was approaching the back of the Kirikiri.

“Ceresia, it's too much to take what's in someone else's hands. ”

Ceresia glares at me for a moment and disappears.

I feel like I've seen a Holy Ghost with a grudge.

“No, why are you staring at me? ”

Scary.

You grumble alone, and hear Kirikiri hiss.

Victory and joy toward Ceresia.

“That's amazing.”

It was unusual.

What Kirikiri sees and says is strange.

But I wasn't surprised by that.

Serenia was quite curious, I think.

That curiosity is proven enough by the fact that I can emerge and disappear alone in this field, which is the domain of Kirikiri.

“I thought I'd hidden myself in a way I didn't know or returned to the 60th floor. ”

“No, it's not. ”

Kirikiri laughs as he puts the cake in his mouth.

“It really went away. Wonderful.”

You nod.

Again, I was surprised.

Even I was not confident to follow Sergia's tricks.

Probably won't be able to follow any god.

It was hard for Serenia to reach, and not to want, a creature of divinity.

“The god of slowness will love it. ”

“The god of slowness? Does the god of slowness not value proof of existence? ”

Kirikiri shakes his head.

“The god of slowness does not discriminate. It's all relative. ”

The more I knew, the more complicated God was.

What if meeting the god of slowness was not on the 40th floor when we didn't know anything, but now?

You might be able to glimpse something you haven't seen at the time.

“How was the 90th floor? ”

Kirikiri talks.

“I didn't like it.”

I was able to answer clearly.

It was bad.

“Since the 90th floor is a stage to prove your abilities and your strength, you can do that. ”

Stages after the 90th floor were stages that proved themselves together.

Regardless of the power gained in the tutorial.

Stages to test how much you have grown, how you have completed, and how confident you are.

It was already a pointless test for me.

Your total strength makes no difference, except for all the stats and skills you get from level up and clear rewards.

But the intention of the stage was understandable.

The tutorial gives the challenger a gun.

And the tutorial doesn't want challengers who can just pull the trigger.

Requires at least the right level to aim and maintain the gun.

That's why you need to double-check your abilities at the end of the stage.

to meet the minimum standards.

In addition to Hell difficulty, the latter half of all difficulties were like this.

In fact, with the support of the vigilantes, there was a challenger on Easy difficulty that was eliminated through the second stage.

“But isn't this the same concept as the 35th floor stage? ”

The 35th floor of the Hell difficulty level resets all the abilities acquired in the tutorial and is a stage that looks back at all stages with the body of the first time.

“I told you then. The 35th floor was not a stage to overcome, it was a stage to escape. ”

Kirikiri bruised me.

“It was so reckless at the time. You didn't have to clear the stage so dangerously to get through it safely. ”

Prior to entering the 35th floor, Kirikiri advised me not to crash because it was dangerous for me.

Of course I was excited.

“I don't know what I was going to do. ”

If I really didn't want to win, I would have to find another way.

But it worked.

Starting on the 35th floor, Kirikiri mentioned the stages that I had passed before.

When I acted too recklessly, when I didn't listen to her advice, when I made a mistake, when I easily cleared the stage, I achieved more than I expected.

the things that I experienced and felt as I walked through the stages.

I looked back at them one by one.

I also looked back at the past as I fit into Kirikiri.

There was a reason for Kirikiri to talk about the past like he usually likes to talk about it only in the future.

[Lee Ho-jae, 99th floor]

99th floor.

Now there's only one floor left to clear.

It was time to leave the tutorial.

* * *

[The stage on the 100th floor begins.]

Description: Prepare to wake up from your old dream.

It was in the dark.

I was born.

It's dark.

It's not darkness that doesn't glow.

It's the darkness that blinds my vision.

It was the darkness that narrowed my world of perceptions.

A foul smell seeped into my nose.

I turned around and lay there, avoiding the smell of the pillows.

I raise my hand.

You come out of the scruffy blanket and touch your chin.

Likewise, it was tricky.

My mouth was uncomfortable.

It's because I drank soju the other day and slept.

It wasn't until I started to sound the alarm when I was screaming in this smelly place for a long time that I finally got up.

The bathroom didn't tidy up.

Shave.

I took out my comfortable workout clothes and left the house.

You wait for the small elevator in the villa.

The elevator door opens and you see people inside.

There was a young woman holding the baby and the baby.

I leaned on the elevator to the corner.

The baby in my mother's arms looked at me with round eyes.

I smiled quietly.

There are many unfortunate laws in the world.

One of them was that I really liked them, but on the contrary, they might not like me.

I have experienced it many times, but this one also hurts me.

The baby who saw my smile burst into tears.

I apologized to her.

The door of the elevator opened, greeted the lady roughly, and walked away as if running away.

I went to the diner in front of the house and ordered a plate.

It was a good meal at a good price, but after eating it every day, I became too familiar with it.

I was getting bitten because I was unfamiliar with it.

While organizing the next table, I asked her if the aunt I met was delicious.

Of course, I said it was delicious.

It was actually delicious.

I was bitten.

I made the calculations and went out to eat.

I went to the convenience store next door.

Albanian was dozing off.

I fell on the counter and knocked the sleeping head of Albanian.

Alba woke up surprised to think she was a guest. As soon as she saw my face, she sighed and relieved.

“Don't you have guests? ”

“Yes, thank God. ”

Yeah, well, I'm sure it's a relief for you, Alba.

As your boss, you're making me sick.

“Is Alba here yet? ”

“I'm late today. I got your text earlier. ”

It's been over half a year since I started working at my convenience store.

I bought the ball higher and paid more hourly, but I also left the other Albanians in charge and settlement.

It's almost like I left everything to this guy.

“Yes, I'm going. ”

“Yes, brother. Go inside."

“Yes, hit the ground properly. ”

No, not from behind. I can hear him whispering.

I ignored it and left the convenience store.

You didn't hit the ground.

I checked the convenience store and went to a local park.

I loosened up and slowly ran down the street in the park.

When I ran like that, my breath was too heavy to run anymore.

I sat on a park bench.

It was quiet.

Not like a city.

You hear the sound of the wind, the sound of birds, and the rolling leaves on the ground.

No one crossed the park after work.

In the middle of a park surrounded by tall buildings and apartments, I could see what the park and I had in common.

This was the end.

End of my business.

It was peaceful.

It was quiet, calm.

And I was bored as hell.

Now all I have to do is go home, pick up a bottle of soju, turn on the TV, and kill time.

What did the tutorial want to show me?

Do you want me to stay here to show you the dreams of peaceful times?

Remember the beginner's mind.

My first thought was to get out of a peaceful hell, to be driven wild and crazy.

I don't know.

What will the challengers feel here instead of me?

He also did not know.

“Fall.”

With my words, the landscape of the park was erased.

I was sitting in a small stone chamber, not a bench in the park.

“Why are you here now? ”

Hotch asked.

“I was just looking at my old self. ”

“How was it?”

I ignored Hotch's question.

I wasn't good enough to tell you.

[You have cleared the 100 floors of Tutorial Hell difficulty.]

[See additional rewards.]

The clear message on the 100th floor was simple.

I've heard that before.

The additional reward was a purple crystal.

singing that Kirikiri would need me.

[Please select one of the specified items before returning to Earth. You can return with just one of the items you used in the tutorial.]

Specified item.

Allows a challenger to take one of the items used in the tutorial.

Normally, you take the equipment you've been using up until the end.

Sometimes I carry an elixir or potion out.

In my case.

I didn't have to choose.

All my underwater items were under the protection of my realm.

I just had to take it all out.

“What do you think? ”

“What feeling? ”

I asked Hotch again.

“The feeling of returning to Earth. ”

“Well, I think it's more like leaving the tutorial. ”

I really did.

“Well, what about that feeling? ”

“I think it was solved when I left the 61st floor. Right now, I'm just not thinking about it. ”

I wanted to keep it that way.

Hotch complained that it was fresh and took dragons.

He seemed to be saying something before he left for Earth.

It was fun to tell Yong-yong that I was the first to go to Earth and was an experienced sheep and whatnot.

Watching the two, I felt another look at me.

It's been a long time.

Someone is watching me like this.

Kirikiri talked about the problem with the system and insisted that it should be abolished.

At the same time, the system told me about the need for civilizations that were safe.

The disagreement between the two meant that there was one more problem that Kirikiri hadn't told me yet.

It was a problem that could not be solved or touched now.

“I'll see you later. ”

“Yeah, what? ”

Hotch approaches.

“No, are you ready? ”

Hotch and Yong also nodded.

Yong Yong intervened between me and Hotch.

I held Hotch's hand with my left hand and my right hand tightly.

Excited, but somewhat anxious.

I could understand.

No matter how strong the dragon is, moving into a new world you have never experienced has to give you anxiety.

It is the unknown.

Like when I first entered the tutorial, I was happy and scared.

“Let's get out of here, then. ”

The three of them held Yong's small hand tightly and stood up in the portal together.

So I completed the tutorial.
