Episode 42
The spider with a thousand eyes.
This guy was much stronger than I thought.
Bam!
“Huh, huk, huk!”
A palace painted entirely in white and black.
Inside what seemed to be the 14th floor, made entirely of black and white, a man in clown makeup shouted in shock.
“What! You guys! Why don’t you belong in either black or white!”
The ruler of the 14th floor and the quest objective, the Black and White King.
This guy, who was brazenly shouting that he was going to kill me just a few hours ago, was now completely cornered.
[Isn’t that obvious?]
Knock knock knock.
At the sound of the spider’s voice, the man tried to run away, but the palace hallway was already a dead end.
The man’s face, realizing that he was cornered, began to turn pale, a color that even makeup could not hide.
“S… save me…!”
The spider, who was about to approach the screaming man, stopped walking and soon began to laugh.
[This is all a guy who is supposed to be the ruler of a world can do? I can’t understand.]
Oh my.
As soon as the spider’s eyes opened, the man who had been begging for his demise was immediately turned to stone.
[14th floor quest completed.]
[Check the player’s achievements and receive additional rewards.]
As soon as the man died, the spider immediately turned its head and looked at me.
[This time he wasn’t that strong either. Disappointing.]
“Is that so?”
12th floor, 13th floor, 14th floor.
As I climbed these three levels, I never once took out another undead.
To be exact, there was no need to take it out.
The reason was because of this huge thing in front of me right now, the spider thing with a thousand eyes.
‘Even if it was a class that needed special abilities more than force… … This is excessive.’
As it was originally a chimera, the spider had extremely strong physical abilities.
Now that you’re undead and free from the worry of injury, you’re a living, breathing bioweapon.
Moreover, the spider guy’s power comes from his magic eyes, which can cast numerous magic spells, rather than his body.
Perhaps because of my special ability to stabilize the mana inside my body through sublimation, the spider guy was also able to use the magic eye despite being an undead.
‘If this guy becomes a Dracolich… … .’
Grrrrr.
As I put my hand inside my inventory, the undead dragon guy recognized my hand and bumped his head into my hand.
If this guy had an ego.
So, maybe this guy could learn real magic, not black magic?
‘I wish that were true.’
Of course, that is only if this guy succeeds in becoming a Dracolich.
Of course, if the lychee fails, it all becomes nothing more than a delusion.
“Then shall we go?”
Coming here, I replenished a large number of undead again.
Of course, there were fewer than before, as dealing with spiders and undead dragons required a great deal of skill, but I still had thousands of undead slumbering in my inventory.
There is only one reason for supplementing these undead.
[Is this the place you were talking about?]
15th floor.
This was the floor that Jeren had mentioned, the one I had to pass through to receive the Undead Dragon’s Life Vessel as a reward.
“Okay, for now, put it back in your inventory.”
[Tsk, I see.]
If Jeren, who is not even a manager, is going to go to the 15th floor as a condition, there must be something.
Considering that the levels up to this point had not been that difficult, it was much more believable to think that there was something on this level.
At that time, I was manipulating the system window while keeping the spider in my inventory in case of any danger.
“Bookworm-! Where are you! Bookworm!”
Urrrrrr.
I heard a voice from behind me, so I looked back and sighed.
I was able to pass the 14th floor quest easily thanks to the spider, but I had to put in some effort since I had to earn achievements in addition to just passing the quest.
As it turned out, he ended up playing the role of a strategist for the revolutionary army that turned the world upside down.
[This popularity is no joke, that would be nice.]
I quietly reprimanded the spider that was talking in my head as if teasing me.
‘Shut up.’
These were just actions taken to build up achievements.
Anyway, since I had no reason to stay here any longer, I jumped right in as soon as the gate opened.
[Would you like to go to the 15th floor?]
Before I could even look at that window, my body had already moved from the stuffy, colorless palace to the castle walls that had some bleak color to them.
The fresh air was a bonus.
“……It doesn’t seem like anything special.”
I immediately looked around on alert, but there was nothing particularly threatening.
The only thing that was unusual was that there was a long line stretching a little ways away from me.
Perhaps the line was that of people trying to get inside the walls.
The system window that appears at that moment.
[Please stand in line.]
It seemed as if he was speaking directly to me, but I could roughly guess who it was from.
‘Jaren.’
That’s what she was sending me now.
Putting the question of why aside, my body was immediately joining that long line.
The line moved surprisingly quickly, and it wasn’t long before it was my turn.
“……Did you come from the tower?”
The soldier who appeared to be the gatekeeper glanced at my appearance and then immediately asked me this.
“okay.”
Shudder.
The soldier frowned slightly at my words, but soon called out to the person behind me.
“next!”
I was a bit skeptical that the inspection could end this quickly, but whatever.
As soon as I entered the door, a quest window appeared as if it had been waiting for me.
[15th floor quest.]
[This is the village of the lost.]
[This was once a prosperous nation founded by craftsmen who reached the pinnacle of their fields.]
[But eventually the craftsmen returned to nature, and people began to gradually decline in technology as geniuses like them did not emerge.]
[You must surpass the greatest craftsman of this era in one field.]
[Reward: Determined by field.]
[On failure: None.]
Everything was the same, but still, there was one thing.

At the very end of the quest window, there was a new attachment I had never seen before.
[Go to the Colosseum.]
As soon as I read that message, it disappeared.
As if I didn’t want anyone to find out.
[More than that, necromancer, look at those buildings.]
‘Buildings?’
Sigh.
As I looked around as the spider said, I saw many absurd sights.
A sleek building with rows of windows, with something sticking out of it here and there.
To this extent, he was a nobleman.
From buildings that move as if they were alive to things that appear to be living things that change size and shrink.
In fact, the whole place was filled with things that could hardly be called buildings.
“……Are all the craftsmen just people who collect people with mental problems?”
Just as I was starting to think that I had no idea what the Colosseum was, something started to approach me.
-Oh my! Is this your first time here?
It was a strange voice, not a human one, but one that sounded like a human voice made by gathering together the noises made by rubbing iron.
I looked to the side and the owner of the voice looked at me and smiled brightly.
-Oh, I see this is your first time seeing this reaction! But don’t worry! Our City Golems are here to help players like you! Hahaha!
A guy who knows what’s so funny and reacts by clapping and cheering.
Of course, as soon as I found out that this was a golem, the wariness I had felt a moment ago subsided.
“You don’t call us strangers.”
I started to feel a sense of caution in a different sense.
Of course, you can’t show it on your face.
Naturally, I looked at the golem with a blank expression.
-Are you curious? If you’re curious, just give me 500 points!
Swish.
When I saw the golem shamelessly sticking out its palm, I stared blankly for a moment, dumbfounded.
Points? Points?
-Aha, I was joking! Even though we are golems, we still have a conscience, so we will provide this information for free!
As I watched the guy who was so fancy about raising his hat that he didn’t even have a hat and giving an exaggerated greeting, I started to get annoyed and wondered how long I would have to be entertained by this clown show.
“Shut up and get to the point. Before I destroy you.”
– Aiko! You have a short temper. The reason we don’t call you strangers is because we know where you came from!
“How did you know that? There’s no tower in your world.”
– Are you curious? If you are curious, you get 5 million points!
And then the golem shamelessly sticks out its palm.
Let’s just stare at him silently, and he starts talking nonsense again.
-Haha, how can we make a living if we give away information without any compensation? You have to pay for the information so that we can make a living!
“……Okay. Let’s stop talking.”
Sigh.
Just as I was about to turn around, something suddenly occurred to me and I asked him again.
“Can you tell me, for free, what the Colosseum is?”
-I can give you a city tour for free!
All the way.
The golem seemed to be stretching out its arms and was pointing to a cylindrical building.
-There are five buildings of this type! If you are thinking of challenging the Colosseum, please look for a golem like us inside! We will be happy to guide you!
“Okay, I understand.”
So I turned away from him and walked along the street that stretched all the way to the Colosseum, leaving his voice behind.
Of course, we didn’t head straight to the Colosseum.
Before that, I wanted to confirm some things that were on my mind.
‘There you are.’
Buildings with “store” signs everywhere.
I went into those buildings and asked the prices of things.
“It’s 800 points.”
“It’s 5,000 points. If you’re not going to buy it, get out.”
“100,000 points.”
Next, I approached people everywhere with questions.
Of course, I carefully selected the ones who don’t seem to be scammers.
“Me? I’m a prosecutor… but will I get a sword as a reward for this quest?”
“I’m on a blacksmith quest. If you have nothing else to do, do you want to join me?”
“Want to come to our bar? This isn’t a quest or anything…!”
I traveled to countless places and met many people.
The sun that had been high in the sky had set, and I was standing blankly in the street at night, brightened by the light bursting out of the tall buildings.
‘Do you understand?’
[Necromancer, I was briefly confused as to whether you had finally gone mad or not.]
The spider guy clicked his tongue and muttered, “Tsk.”
[It’s definitely strange. This isn’t another world, but rather the four necromancers that you mentioned… ]
‘Yes, it’s no different from the top.’
All prices of items must be paid with points.
There wasn’t a single store that offered any currency of this world.
Likewise, all the people here are players.
And those who appear to be teachers teaching the players are also all players.
All there was was the remains of the tower, and no trace of this world could be found, no matter how hard I looked.
This road I am standing on now, and these buildings, maybe… … .
‘All made on the top.’
So then, where exactly are the real people of this world?
And where did all the civilization and history that originally existed in this world go?
And that wasn’t all.
‘Achieving the achievement itself is impossible.’
Achievements are one of the only ways to receive something more than the reward set by the Tower.
Of course, that achievement is closely related to the circumstances of that world.
But now, this world is completely saturated with towers, without any circumstances whatsoever.
Of course, this achievement itself has become impossible to achieve.
And as if he had foretold my situation, Jeren wrote at the end of the quest to go to the Colosseum.
As if he knew this would happen.
‘I wondered why they kept emphasizing my achievements while I was climbing the floors, but it turns out it was a hint to make me realize this.’
There was no system window.
There was no one to confirm my thoughts.
But still, I felt it vaguely.
That’s what Jeren was talking about, that thing he couldn’t tell you, that might have something to do with this.
There’s no way she, who’s a manager, wouldn’t know that one floor had changed like this.
And what she said was to go to the Colosseum.
“Go.”
Thinking that I might be hearing it somewhere, I muttered to myself and walked away.
To the Colosseum, where the cheers can still be heard.
