The Tutorial Is Too Hard

I couldn't believe the story Lee Hyung-jin told me.

I've always thought about it.

I've already died in my cubicle, and everything I see, hear, and experience right now may be just a dream.

So one day, I promised that I wouldn't be greatly embarrassed if I heard that all of this was fake.

However, after hearing what Lee Hyung-jin said, I couldn't take it accidentally.

Lee Hyung-jin tried to say as much as he could, but the meaning was clear.

I'm just a fake made for the stage, and the real Lee Ho-jae is already up to the 60th floor.

I thought this might be the theme of the 17th floor.

Kirikiri said the 17th floor would end easily and quickly.

But for the story that was so urgent to disturb my mind, the front and back fit together too well.

Lee Hyung-jin tried to convince me to come up with him.

Of course I refused.

I had no choice.

If he's lying.

You have to kill him to get to the 18th floor, past the 17th floor.

But if he's telling the truth.

If it's true.

There was a brief wobble.

Eventually, my knife, which was about to hit Lee Hyun-jin's neck, was inserted into Lee Hyun-jin's heart.

I looked at her vomiting blood, wondering if I should twist the sword in my chest to ease the pain, or if I should feed her potions and heal her now.

Then I heard a voice.

[Arrest me.]

Surprisingly, I heard a voice from the necklace that was hanging on Lee Hyung-jin's neck.

My confused head calmed down in a heartbeat.

I've been thinking about catching that necklace, not catching it, and only two things.

[I will solve your question.]

[All your questions.]

I've been thinking more for a while.

I finally got the necklace.

And that's where my story began.

* * *

Okabuchi Hisano.

She was having an unbelievable day.

Nothing so unrealistic has ever happened since I was invited to the tutorial and became Awakened.

She was a Class S Awakener with a detection family ability.

Although he did not fight directly from the front line, he was doing his part at the operations headquarters a little away from the front.

She participated in all the waves, and each time she participated, she fulfilled her part.

Everyone at Operations trusted and relied on her.

But now she was betraying everyone's expectations.

“I don't know.”

“… Are you sure? ”

So it's true.

Hisano wanted to curse at the moment.

Why do you think you know everything?

I felt uncomfortable with people's blind faith.

A massive black hemisphere floats along the east coast.

The black hemisphere, which appears to be larger than the chaotic city, swallows up all the Awakened who were blocking the waves off the coast.

Not a single gunshot, not a scratch from the Awakened.

In light of Hisano's divine mind, we could not find any information.

“… maybe it's because of them from Korea. ”

Hisano guessed so.

Awakenings from Korea went beyond common sense.

They control monsters with strange abilities.

You lift up the sea at all and banish the gates below.

I felt bad about doubting those who came to help themselves and blaming the problem on them without any evidence.

But if they weren't, it wouldn't have happened that way.

At that moment, I heard an unknown voice.

Her voice calls out her name.

‘Hisano.’

I felt like I was hearing voices at the moment, but soon I had to withdraw my thoughts.

I felt the same power in her voice.

“… are you a God of balance? ”

I saw Hisano mumbling endlessly underneath, and my colleagues at Operations Headquarters might find her odd.

Hisano places a metal plate on his face and ignores them.

‘Yes, I have something to tell you. ’

“What's the matter? ”

The god of balance had a deep connection with Hisano.

They've already given power to Hisano upstairs.

At any stage, the God of Balance was interested in Hisano and showed a positive response.

He received the offer of an apostle and thought that he would become an apostle after fulfilling all he needed to become an apostle.

I met the God of Balance in person on the 79th floor of the hard difficulty level where I was able to face God in person.

But on the 79th floor, the God of Balance told Hisano,

You're not good enough to be his apostle.

And the God of Balance dismissed Hisano.

After completing the tutorial and returning to Earth, Hisano naturally forgot the god of balance.

So it was even more surprising.

This situation where the God of Balance himself spoke to her.

‘I'll start with an apology, Hisano. I had a greed I couldn't bear on my own. ’

Of course, Hisano couldn't understand what the god of balance was saying.

So I decided to ask you a question right away.

“Are you allowed to talk to me like this? ”

Then, in the meantime, it was a question of why you didn't say anything.

The god of balance answered.

‘There is no regulation of the Earth anymore. Of course he will be offended, but I intend to reward him and apologize accordingly. ’

“What do you mean……. ”

‘I don't have time to explain! We need to get out of there now. ’

Hisano still couldn't understand God's words.

But I understood the urgency and the danger.

She instructs her colleagues to prepare to withdraw immediately.

“What's this all of a sudden? ”

Hisano wondered if he could explain to his colleague why, "God says this place is dangerous."

She decides to lie flexibly.

“That black hemisphere is about to explode. ”

The God of Balance insists on continuing to leave, and urges Hisano to leave quickly, even on his own.

But she stayed at the headquarters until the end and helped with the evacuation.

And shortly thereafter, the god of balance was able to see with his own eyes the dangers that had been warned.

An enormous sword floats over the massive black hemisphere as well.

It was unrealistic, so I couldn't believe it even when I saw it.

‘Run away now. ’

“It's too late for that. Can you tell me more about that? ”

‘… the two gods will soon collide there. Even in the whole world, there are two identities that will be at the top. ’

With the description of the god of balance.

The sword that was floating like a mirage in the sky began to fall.

“Damn, it's not a tag match. ”

Hotch grumbles.

용용이 appears and I wanted to live a little longer.

Immediately, the god of hope came out of there.

Whether the god of hope shouted loudly in his shitty voice was a goo, Yong-yong was not helping Hoch at all.

It was fortunate that the god of hope was not interfering with Hotch and that fake Hoyt.

“Seaid's Shield! ”

Hotch used his powers again to stop a fake attack.

The best thing about power was that it didn't consume as much power as it did.

After he decided to hang on, Hotch saved his strength as much as he could.

Instead, he's dragging time away from his power.

Of course, it wasn't just about staying on the defensive side.

While a fake prepares to attack again to pierce Hotch's power.

Hotch thundered.

“Split up! Go, Starling Ball! ”

And I summoned Lee Jun-seok, who was in the subspace, near the fake.

As soon as Lee Jun-seok was summoned, he used his electrostatic abilities in the forward direction without question or question.

The fake was flawed by the electric shock but immediately swung his sword at Lee Jun-seok.

“Come back, ball of fangs! ”

With Hotch's words, Lee Jun-seok moved back to subspace.

The fake knife had to cut through the air again in vain.

“Haha, this is fun! ”

I will never disagree with Lee Jun-seok who blows himself up every time he is summoned and is immediately exposed to a counterattack.

Hotch had a good time.

“Son of a bitch! How long are you going to keep playing games? ”

The fake didn't seem to like it very much.

His eyes widen again and he flies towards Hotch.

Hotch starts running again, avoiding him.

[Mayday, Mayday.]

The instant you hear a hoarse voice, you stop moving.

In addition, the god of dragons and hopes who are fighting with fake ones there was also the same.

Kuaang!

With a loud bang, the sky breaks apart and a giant blade pierces through the space.

When he saw it, Hotch shouted.

“Ceresia! What took you so long... Ugh! ”

“Greet me first, not Ceresia. ”

There was a man who appeared, beating Hotch on the back of the head, happy to see Cedria's blade caught in the sky.

Lee Ho-jae.

* * *

That's really me.

It was interesting.

It wasn't just me, it was me.

It was neither self-immolation nor replication.

It was quite interesting to see me grow up in a different direction from the way I do now.

Hotch and Dragon approached me.

“Dad!"

I hugged the running dragon.

“Well done. Did you get hurt? ”

“It's torn here. ”

Looking at the place where 용용이 pointed fingers, dragon clothes were greatly torn.

There were no injuries below.

Thank goodness.

“Good job to you, too. I didn't think you'd be so good at it. You know, you don't usually do that, you said you'd be good at it. ”

That's what I told Hotch.

In fact, I thought Hotch would come back to Seoul after just doing the right thing.

But seeing that you stayed with Dragon to the end, I was thankful, but on the other hand I was a little sorry.

“Huh? Hmm... Yes. ”

Hotch looks a little nervous.

I thought, I've been too stingy with compliments.

I've decided to leave my work behind for a long time.

“What about Joon-suk Lee?”

“I put it in the subspace. ”

Thank goodness.

I thought you were dead.

Even when I looked around, I could see that Lee Jun-seok used a little power.

That trail is enough to make him useful as destructive power.

The problem is that you're a fool who doesn't know how to control his power.

If you fill in the drawbacks, you will do more than just the price of food.

“… God. ”

[Yes, it did go around and around as planned. Don't worry too much. I will always be with you on your path.]

The false god of hope spoke to each other.

Seeing him, I was curious.

“That God of Hope, what's with the accent? ”

He speaks the God of Perforation.

As soon as I questioned him, the god of hope spoke to me.

[Depends on what the congregation is imprinted on. Basics.]

It was a voice sent only to me personally.

It was a rather light, sleazy, wingworm-like voice.

It was interesting.

‘Even if it's fake, it won't be easy to seduce me. ’

[Hahaha, you think so?]

The god of hope laughed as if it were funny.

And explained it to me.

[I can't compare you back then with you now. You were very sensitive and fragile back then. Like a newborn. Do you have any idea how easily that jerk was swayed by a sympathetic teaser?]

I did.

At least, I would have done it on the 17th floor.

The next floor on the 17th floor is the 18th floor where Paramal appeared.

I could easily remember how much it was shaking to me at that time.

It was even a time when there was no clear goal.

Besides...

That fake necklace.

It was a god of hope.

I didn't know when Hyun-jin was holding it, but that was... terrible.

It would be less harmful to suck on an absolute ring than to keep it with you.

[I should have caught you, not this fake.]

The first time I met the God of Hope was on the 49th floor.

I didn't even think about relying on the gods then.

It would have been impossible for the god of hope to capture me.

[No, no, not 49th floor, 60th floor. Do you know how much fun I had back then? Watching you wander around in despair all day.]

[If someone could save me, if someone could help me. It was so funny how much you wanted that. Even though I had the chance to capture you, I postponed and postponed to see that for one more day... After all, you've grown old enough to block the connection.]

[It was the most exciting thing in my day to see you do it every day.]

[Ahn, that's too bad.]

I decided one thing as I heard the god of hope giggle bitterly.

“Yes, affirm. You're dead to me. ”
