The tower's system is not friendly.

For example, premature discontinuation.

Open by the system is not the end.

Yun-Seok didn't even feel his presence before he met Laban Vargas.

Similar to the context in which Gigi did not immediately pull out the sword because it became voluntary.

Just because the system has been lifted doesn't mean you can do everything right away.

You must spend some time reporting, experiencing and researching in person before you can use it as you see fit.

Apostle

Rank A - See Death, Deal with Death.

So I died over and over again.

How many times can you have a once-in-a-lifetime death experience? I thought this was the right way to use 'infinite regression.'

But…….

- Ninety-nine, 999? How long have you been dead, you crazy human?

It was not.

Repeated tens of thousands of times, nothing changed.

Maybe it was natural.

"Dead"

Even if it says he's dead in the system.

"Old Audience Watch (Rank S +) returns owner's time to 5 minutes ago.

It's just a process of turning back time.

This wasn't really death.

Why are you doing that?

So I decided to die as he said.

I decided not just to turn back the clock, but to crawl into the abyss and face what I had been looking for.

This is a journey to a resting place…….

It will be the last struggle you can do while you're alive.

“Well, I beg of you. ”

“I don't know what the hell I was thinking of asking you that.... I'll do exactly as you say. ”

Yun Seok reaffirmed his promise to Drakar, holding the pocket watch in his left hand. The second hand was moving slowly, which means it was in the waiting time for reuse.

"All healing and regenerative effects in the realm are applied in reverse by the laws of the Witch.

That's how I'm ready to die.

Yoon-suk closed his eyes for a moment and breathed.

Brace, brace!

My heart is pounding like crazy, hoping to live.

I feel foolishness in my trembling hands and feet.

I instinctively felt that it would be difficult if I stopped taking time.

I've already made up my mind, but I'm sure you won't hesitate.

Phew!

Yoon-seok put his right hand in his left chest.

And then, digging through the flesh and bone, he grabbed the heart.

Qajik-!

I grabbed it and ripped it out and burst it.

The blood in your veins and small, crushed flesh scatter in all directions. Drakar, who was watching over you to keep his promise, screams.

“Fuck, fuck! ”

I know what this looks like.

Without one, it's not easy to die anymore.

Originally, I had to put a knife in my forehead.

So we can die as soon as possible.

But there's no rush this time.

This might be the last time.

“ ……. ”

Yoon-suk closed his eyes quietly.

My hands and feet froze as I felt a tingling sensation in my open heart.

Of course, the pain won't be long.

The healing and resurfacing effects are being applied in reverse.

Soon the numbness will be gone, and it will begin.

We have suffered near death.

How long has it been?

One minute or more?

I don't know, but Immortal was triggered.

All types of regeneration increase by 150x.

Increases Regeneration stat while entering Stiffness.

Of course, the laws of the Maiden apply to the contrary, but they do not change in conflict with the effects of disregarding damage.

It's just...

Forgotten help you.

The effect of Immortality is not the end.

The ability to attack or protect nearby enemies during a stiffness since reaching rank A.

Normally, there's nothing bad about it....

Bleeding.

I've never been more annoyed here.

“What, what! ”

Never been here.

Yoon-suk killed himself.

Therefore, the ‘forgotten ones’ appear and do nothing. However, when the translucent green skeleton soldiers poured in, the expedition panicked.

As always, the Thousand Horses in the lead only noticed the poop.

“... What happened?! ”

The thousand horses rushed to carefully lift the neck of the fallen Yoon Seok.

Her eyes are always the same looking at the dying Yoonseok.

The majesty as a thousand words disappears everywhere, and I just tremble without thinking that the current situation is unbelievable.

I've seen it a thousand times already...

This was not at all familiar.

“Enemy or foe? Where on earth?"

She was always so pleasant, she lost it.

Search for an invisible enemy and scatter it for a long time, then lift Drakar's collar without finding it.

“You, are you like this? ”

“Me, me, not me! ”

“Then who the hell are you?! ”

The air freezes cold in the furious gloom.

Living a life that truly dominates all of that.

Hundreds can't even breathe out of it.

Drakar, who was trying to explain the situation, said nothing but cold sweat.

And by that time,

Stiffness has been released.

Stiffness ends.

Then, Yoon-suk, who regained his sovereignty, barely opened his mouth.

“I'm, I'm fine... Cool! ”

It's okay. It's okay.

It's not that exciting.

One, I can't hear her.

“Go, hold still. Elixir! Doesn't anyone have elixir? Potion! Cure! Elixir! It's a name. Give it to me! ”

The expedition searches each bag and pulls out various items.

The life expectancy of the challengers going up to the 21st floor, one by one. Those precious things pour generously into Yoon-suk's body.

As long as there is a law of the one and only witch, this is Germany.

This is the end that Yoon-suk remembers.

The moment that thing starts spreading.

Time reverses with the phrase "dead."

But...

“Hehehe, hehe...! ”

It's not over yet.

Yoon-suk realized.

True death doesn't come easy. It's my last paradise after a tougher and tougher fight.

“… you can't give up! ”

Did the laughter just shine on the desperate?

He shouts, touching the ball of Yoon-suk with both hands.

Yoon-suk lifted his mouth.

“… give up, I won't. ”

“Yes, that's right! I have to...! ”

The eyelids are so heavy.

Thousands are still shouting in front of their noses, but they are getting smaller and smaller as they fade out.

And that moment.

Brightens blurred eyes.

Yoon-suk opened his eyes.

It was a hospital.

* * *

- Stressful panic disorder.

Put the pen down and the doctor says decisively.

- If it gets worse, it could lead to impotence. Medication should be concomitant, even if not hospitalized.

Then he asked with a puzzled expression.

- Stress? But what is there to do with this child...?

The doctor gives you a careful answer.

- I'll tell you this, but... At this age, most of the kids looking for these symptoms are from school violence.

—... school violence?

Did you notice anything like that?

It happened in the hospital I found in high school.

That day, my father came home and asked me if I was being harassed at school, and Yoon-suk replied.

That's not true.

It must be academic stress.

He didn't believe the lie.

Instead, I believed it was because of the fire and debts at the factory.

- I'll take care of him. You have nothing to worry about!

At that time, I realized Yoon-suk.

Humans are so profound that they can feel relief and despair at the same time.

The scene in front of you changes.

- What's wrong with you? Why do you have to be so rude to me? You son of a bitch!

Hotel rooms overlooking Seoul.

Kang Hyung-woo on his knees shouts.

And soon....

Phew.

Yoon-suk plunges the sword into his forehead.

A limping corpse lies flat on the floor, and this scene ends there.

‘Juma Etc……. ’

He just died.

Then why are we seeing this?

Perhaps this is the phenomenon that life passes by, as it often says, before death.

- What, what? Ha, don't! Seriously, come on! Ha, don't!

Burn Lee Chang-hoon alive.

- Well, how about a cup of tea?

I've never met El before.

The scenes in such memories are briefly unfolded.

But if there was a difference from what he knew, it wouldn't be in chronological order.

Even if you gain enormous power from the tower and kill hundreds of thousands of people, you will go back to the powerless old days and suffer.

I feel the feeling of crying desperately when I endured it somehow and became alone.

And it repeats itself for a long time.

“ ……. ”

Suddenly, I saw a smile.

Do you have a happy memory?

Kill or be taken.

Or I don't want to go back to the way things used to be, or cut myself off, enduring all the pain. No matter how hard you struggle to survive.

Only those terrible memories.

- He's a demon!

Yoon-suk thought.

If it was the day I went to the hospital.

If my father catches on to his lies.

Is something different?

- Why are you laughing at me like this?

There was no choice in the tower, and one day the invaders started appearing on Earth.

Could there have been a future where we could stockpile food like normal people and shake things up?

Yoon-suk thought about it.

I looked at the convenience of the past and pondered endlessly.

Why I wanted to live.

—... why don't you turn? ”

- He's still alive.

How could you say such a thing confidently to a desperate Draca?

- Is that why you won't try?

Why have we tried so hard to survive thousands, tens of thousands of deaths?

I don't even remember the time when I used to smile because I was really happy and happy.

Are you obsessed with surviving and becoming strong?

Because I wanted to save the world from the apocalypse and, if possible, climb to the last floor and create an ideal?

This is deception.

Even if you deceive everyone in the world, you cannot deceive yourself.

- Did I do the right thing?

Yoon-suk was well aware.

Nobody seems to have any answers.

How twisted and twisted you've become.

- Go where you want to go. No matter where it leads.

It's not survival of the fittest.

I just needed a goal to survive.

- Which way do you want to go?

That's why I chose Mahjong, not the fire.

It was easier and easier.

Therefore, Yoon-suk asks again.

Why I wanted to live.

‘If you die, it's over...' ’

Last stop.

I have seen many talents in the tower, God knows the existence, and even his past life…….

In the end, that's what Yoon-suk thinks.

Loss of the future.

Feasting on all the possibilities, horribly or happily. And that makes life even more futile and shiny.

That's why Yoon-suk was obsessed with living.

You may experience more despair and more pain in the future, but you may be able to find the opposite.

As the man who gave me his unique powers the other day said,

- You failed your last trial, became a manager, and you were destined to live happily here with a lot of women.

There may be a future full of people waiting for you one day.

Phew.

Maybe death is coming.

The scene doesn't change anymore.

—... don't give up!

To the end of Thousand Horse's most recent memory.

A breathtaking darkness is upon us.

Yoon-suk Hana did not give up.

He brought himself to die and all he came here to do was live.

“ ……. ”

Seeing the rushing darkness, Yoon-suk didn't run away.

I just reached my hand forward.

The last thing he saw was…….

Whoo-hoo!

Darkness that dances like a curling hand.

"Dead"

And it was a beam of light that seeped into the gap.

“Dammit! I told you I had to do it after I died..." ”

“I'll pull out your eyes for now. ”

“Oh, okay! ”

As I listened to Drakar and the thumping of the thousand horses, Yoon Seok lifted his mouth slightly.

"Old Audience Watch (Rank S +) returns owner's time to 5 minutes ago.

Now, it's time to go back.
