Turns Out To Be a Genius Duelist

I heard it with my ears and saw it with my eyes, but I understood my head one step later. No, to be honest, I still don't get it.

“You built the tower...?" ”

“You heard right. ”

We met so long ago at an unexpected time and place.

Owner of a mysterious tower, and closer to God than anyone who has seen Yoon-suk.

This is how you're going to meet this thing?

“Don't look at me like that. I'm not a prototype. ”

“Primordial?”

“To put it simply, I, too, in front of you, am a fake built by the tower. ”

Among the people I met in the tower, there were some who recognized that I was a reproducer.

So it wasn't surprising....

“… You're the owner of the tower, but you're reproducible? How is that possible? ”

“Owner? If you don't know what a tower is, you might think so. ”

In response, Yoon-suk was somewhat demolished.

I've been through a lot of things in my past life. I don't know, but there won't be a challenger who knows the tower as well as he does.

I still don't know what it is....

“Then what is it? What about this tower?”

So I decided to ask him directly.

Is it possible this guy is just lying?

It wasn't there, but I had a hunch it wasn't.

“I'd like to hear your opinion before answering. What do you think this tower is? ”

“A training post to kill a queen. ”

Yoon-suk answered without hesitation, and slowly nodded his head with an unreadable gaze.

“That's not the wrong answer, but we need to correct it a little bit. Rather than the expression" training center "... Yeah, it's like a computer in your world. ”

“… a computer? ”

Yoon-suk looked for an explanation in a word that felt as sudden as this encounter.

“Perhaps I need to tell you where this place called the cemetery begins to make sense of you. ”

“ ……. ”

“This is a place where the souls of the dead rest for a while before they return for a new life. ”

In other words, it means the real afterlife that no one has revealed.

“Then what are you? Who built this place? ”

“Well, I'd like to know who created this space. When I first opened my eyes, I was here, and all I had to do was keep this place in my head. ”

The man spread his palms out into the air.

Then the blue orb comes out of the tombstone and climbs up to the top. Inside the orb was the life of an unknown man.

“It was almost infinite time for any beauty to feel overwhelmed. We used to stare into the memories and knowledge of our fallen asleep souls. ”

“We…? ”

“There was one more person here, not just me. Perhaps you can guess who it might be? ”

“The Queen……. ”

Yoon-suk muttered like a seduced person.

The man nods without saying if the answer is correct and opens his mouth again.

“She's been here since I opened my eyes. She was the one who taught me how to read memories. I loved those moments. But she wanted to leave, whether she wasn't. ”

“ ……. ”

“She wanted a real life, not an infinite amount of life to see here. And it actually did. One day she left without a word, and I was left alone. ”

When the man blows with his mouth, the soul that was on the palm of his hand is pushed back to its original position.

“I don't know how long it's been, but I'll be done soon, so bear with me. ”

“I can't bear it. It's the time I've been waiting for. ”

It is time to unravel all the doubts that have been brought to my mind.

I was willing to wait happily for a few hours if only I could answer.

However, the guy mostly blurted out whether he didn't want to go into detail later on.

“After a long time, she came back here. And they said this place was supposed to disappear, and they wanted to destroy it all. ”

“Gone? Why would she think that? ”

“Well, how would I know? ”

Say it away, but a man knows it.

Instead of asking why Yoon-suk Hana hid it, he silently listened.

“I drove her away somehow that day, but it was clear she would not give up and return here. So I had to find a way. ”

“ ……. ”

“So I built a tower to protect this place. No, I don't think it's right to say you made it. It was a coincidence that the tower was built. ”

“Coincidence...? ”

“There was a gap in her expulsion. I joined the souls of the cemetery as if I were building a wall. ”

Touching the resting soul was something I should never have done as a watcher.

One man put his hand on the idea of defending this place.

And that was the beginning of it all.

“At some point, the wall became stronger and stronger, sucking the souls out of the cemetery. My doctor doesn't matter anymore. I just wanted to stop her, but I decided that this tower was an enemy that needed to be destroyed. ”

Soon the wall became a tower.

He took other dimensions of souls and turned them into soldiers, and he gave them power using all the knowledge that existed in the world.

To kill the queen who wants to destroy this place.

I learned like an AI computer and continued to evolve through failures.

“In the first battle, I learned that you can't use your strength without empowerment. That's how trials are made. ”

“But most people just settle down at some point to gain their strength like that. ”

“We needed competition. A clear enemy would be better. ”

“The challenger who showed promise in the stone he had so hidden was also recycling in a different way. ”

“I also realized that using their desires is more efficient than imposing obligations. You've heard of it everywhere. The Tower grants wishes. ”

“Yet at the end, there were those who wouldn't move. So the tower began to hide its purpose. Challengers have craftily placed trials to make the queen their enemy. ”

As the man's words continued, the more I learned about the nature of this tower, the more it gave me goosebumps.

I thought I knew why he used the word "computer" earlier.

On the other hand, there was still something that I didn't understand.

“Why, then, would you tell me such a story? ”

Not all stories will tell the challengers on the 23rd floor. In fact, Lee Su-yeon didn't know about this at all.

Then what the hell is the reason?

The man replied immediately.

“Because I know what you're thinking. ”

“ ……? ”

“You want to destroy the tower. ”

Not necessarily.

If the tower is the enemy, I think we should be prepared for it.

While thinking about what to say, the man asked.

“Have you ever wondered why the tower gave you such power? To the soul of her former hound? ”

Have you ever thought about it? Of course there is.

And he insisted that the tower is not omnipotent.

But didn't he?

“You don't seem to know that. I know all about the tower, but I gave you that power. As long as you achieve the goal of killing her, you've decided it's a good idea what happens after that. ”

“ ……. ”

“But I don't want you to break the tower. ”

“ ……? ”

“Once she's dead, the tower will only exist to protect this place. There will be no more tragedies, no more sorrows, involving the challengers. ”

Instead of answering quickly, Yoon-suk turned his head and looked back at the expansive cemetery.

A place where the soul after one life stays before the next.

What would happen if this place disappeared?

There will surely be a great disaster that cannot be predicted.

Well, assuming everything this guy said was true.

“How can I trust you? ”

“Because it was the tower that brought you and the child together. ”

“The boy? ”

“Elizabeth Rowen. I'm talking about the poor kid. ”

As if he had touched something disgusting, Yoon-suk's snow suddenly narrowed down to the name of El.

One man spoke without hesitation.

“There is no task associated with that child in this mission. It was just the bow of the tower to inject you with hostility toward the queen. ”

With El, I was able to meet James.

And he gives the impression that Rick was used in the queen's ruse, and then kills himself before he asks any more questions.

Even Yoon-suk couldn't stop it.

In fact, the perception of the queen changed for the worse. But it was all a forged manuscript?

“Why would I tell you this against the Tower's intentions? I can't empathize with the way the tower works. Of course, apart from this, I think I need a tower... At least I felt it was right to wait for you to make your choice. ”

“So you're saying that if I try to destroy the tower, it won't stop me? ”

Instead of answering, the man nodded slowly, not avoiding Yoon-suk's eyes.

I have truly been told that I will accept whatever decision I make.

That's why it suddenly creeped me out.

What is it?

A tower and queen that I had so much doubt about.

But no matter how much you think about it, how many words do you really feel?

Not with his own mouth, but with someone who said it was reproduced by a tower?

“Who are you? You must be the tower. ”

“What's that supposed to mean? ”

“What have you done to me? ”

“ ……. ”

Despite the doubts pouring out from the front, the man just stared at Yoon-suk.

It was when their gaze crossed.

El, who was looking around a little distance, called for Yoon-suk.

“Yoon-suk! They're coming! ”

The walls of heaven were crumbling and the forces of destruction were pouring down.

“We should postpone the rest after the situation is settled. ”

If even this situation is considered sophisticated, is it self-conscious?

It may be, but it won't hurt to be careful.

Over-responding is better than coping with wolves, and I've heard enough of your opinions, so you should at least hear Rick or the Queen's position.

‘I told them everything and hid why the Queen wanted to destroy this place. ’

I felt sincere for a moment from the man, and I finally reached the secret that was hidden.

The more I thought about it, the more new questions were emerging from all over again.

One is to summarize these questions after finishing the current situation.

‘Anyway, is that him over there.... ’

Yoon-suk took an interest in the man and drew his sword.

Whether it's the queen or the tower, it's clear at least one thing is trying to convince us to keep going this way.

For some reason, it is you who holds the sword sack.

Within a few days, Yoon-suk revisited the mission.

"Group Mission (8/15).

The forces of destruction pierced a gap in the dimension and showed themselves here. Help the Soul Keeper protect the cemetery until the Dimensional Opening and Closing Machine is normalized.

Defending this place until reinforcements arrive.

Unlike the reality full of all kinds of questions, I felt comfortable because I had clear goals.

Is that why?

‘I wish I could just get rid of both the tower and the queen and the truth...' ’

Suddenly, I thought that and laughed.

A solution that eliminates the problem itself because it is difficult.

Either El or Lee Su-yeon. At least he must have praised me for thinking well.

However, Yoon-suk couldn't do it even if he wanted to.

Climb the tower to find out the truth about the tower and the queen. Then choose a side. If you are hostile to the wrong target, there may be a terrible disaster in the world that cannot be reversed.

Information collection rate 85/100 to date.

"Special Challenge ‘Secrets of Life’ Exists.

This is what it would feel like to describe the situation in the form of a mission system.
