dump.

As I returned to the old room and sat down on the dusty chair, the golem that had been waiting for me spoke in a dry voice.

-Congratulations on your first win, you need to win nine more times to complete the quest.

“Okay, I understand.”

-Do you have any further questions?

At Golem’s words, I waved my hand.

Perhaps judging from my hand gesture that I wanted to be alone, the golem immediately turned around and started to escape towards the passage.

-Please call me if you need anything.

Whew Whew Whew… … .

I watched the back of the golem as it made its characteristic driving sound as it exited through the passage.

Other things were suspicious as well, but those golems were particularly suspicious.

A guy who is neither a player nor an administrator not only understands the tower’s system, but is also directly connected to it.

As someone who had never seen anything like that before, I couldn’t help but be suspicious of those guys.

Only after I was sure that I was the only one left in the completely quiet room, and even after I had spilled some sort of stray light on the ground to alert me if anything came in, did I speak to the spider guy.

‘Have you found out anything?’

[… … That’s good timing. I was just about to start talking.]

The timing was perfect, as this Behemoth was said to have just figured out the situation.

As if to prove it, a slightly burdensome voice different from the spider guy was heard.

[Are you the shaman who takes spiders hostage?]

Grrrrr.

The guy was whining as if he was antagonizing me, but soon he realized his situation and let out a deep sigh.

[… … This is not something I am saying because I trust the spider, but because I am not you. I hope you do not interpret it rashly.]

‘I understand, but I wish you had told me sooner.’

Swish.

As I looked over the wall, the cheers of the people and the voice of the male host began to grow louder again.

It seemed obvious that he would be asked to come out again soon.

‘I don’t have much time.’

[Then let me make it brief.]

Waaaaah-!

Along with the cheers of the people beyond the wall, information I had never heard before began to flow out from Behemoth’s mouth.

[The ones who brought me here were the guys called Players. They captured me alive and brought me here.]

‘How long has it been?’

[… … I’ve watched the sun rise and set hundreds of times outside my window. No… … maybe closer to a thousand times.]

How many years?

Surprisingly, it didn’t seem like he had been held for that long.

[Behemoth, it’s been three years since you disappeared.]

[3 years?! Was it really that long… … .]

Behemoth is surprised and the spider starts asking Behemoth various questions.

[Who the hell kidnapped you? And why on earth would they do something like this… … .]

[I don’t know who they are, but… … I think I know at least why they did this to me.]

Haha, the guy said with a self-mocking laugh.

[There was a strange… strange woman.]

‘… … A strange woman?’

[A woman who looks so powerful that she can overpower anything. The other guys who captured me called her the manager.]

manager.

As soon as that name came out, I felt like I had a clue.

‘Tell me more.’

[I tried to rebel in front of that woman, but I was helpless. Thanks to that, my two tails were reduced to only one… … What’s worse, that woman said I was more useless than she thought and told me to throw me in some other coliseum.]

Adew.

Although he was gritting his teeth as he spoke, there was an unmistakable fear in his voice.

[I’ve been stuck here ever since… … Has it already been three years?]

Although there wasn’t much information available, I still obtained some very important information.

‘I’m the manager.’

Until now, it had only been speculation, but it seemed as if the outline of the culprit who had made this world into this state was beginning to take shape.

One who is closely related to the tower, is powerful, and can completely dye one floor with his own power.

Besides, who else but the Administrator could possibly implant that system into each and every one of the golems?

Of course, that doesn’t mean all questions have been answered.

‘Then why do managers do such things?’

Are you trying to erase all traces of the original civilization and history of this world and just paint everything over under the name of the tower?

Now that it was clear that the manager was involved, I was wondering what to do about the situation that had become ambiguous.

[… … Spider, did you happen to find Vesta?]

[Vesta!? Is Vesta here too!?]

Were there more kidnapped chimeras?

Behemoth muttered a sigh at the spider’s desperate scream.

[I see… …You couldn’t find it.]

[Did those guys kill Vesta… … Those damn kids… … !]

Behemoth added urgently towards the spider who was gnashing his teeth and shedding tears of blood.

[No, no, it’s too early to tell. The guy escaped.]

[Escape? Are you saying that guy escaped?]

‘Is that possible?’

Even I had doubts about those words.

Judging by the spider’s reaction, it seems like a mere chimera managed to escape from here despite the administrator’s interference?

[To be exact, I was waiting for my chance. The first night I was taken away, someone was fighting with the guy who seemed to be the manager. That’s when I saw Vesta running away.]

‘Someone was fighting with the manager?’

At that moment, when I was wondering what kind of guy he was that was fighting the manager, Spider seemed curious as well and asked Behemoth.

[Do you remember what that person looked like? If I ever meet them again, I should at least thank them… … .]

[I don’t remember exactly, but… … I felt very strongly, similar to that woman called the manager… … Hmm.]

Behemoth, who had been groaning as if in agony, suddenly revealed his appearance.

[Yeah, he had something like a piece of glass stuck in one of his eyes.]

At that moment, a person flashed through my mind.

‘Did that man have slightly tired-looking eyes?’

[right.]

‘Was the hair white?’

[… … I think so, do you know anyone?]

‘If my guess is correct.’

He was wearing monocles, had tired eyes, short white hair, and had powers on par with the manager… … No, if it was powers as a manager, it was definitely the one I saw on the 10th floor.

‘Hennett.’

A manager so strong that you can intuitively tell that he’s going to be hard to beat even without having fought him directly.

The administrator that Henet and Behemoth saw fighting.

In that moment, I felt like my complicated mind was suddenly cleared up.

“……under.”

I burst out laughing.

It was a hollow laugh that came from the feeling that I now knew why I was sent here and what my role was.

‘The position of administrator was originally created to manage the tower.’

However, the current appearance of this floor is definitely one that is difficult to see as being managed properly by the manager.

That’s why Henet, who was in charge of the ‘judgment table’ of the tower, ended up fighting the manager of this floor.

But for some reason, that Henette couldn’t return this floor to its original state, and that’s why Jeren sent me to this floor.

‘So my role is… to guide him?’

Of course, it seemed like all Jeren wanted was for me to quietly get his attention.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to convey to me such limited information without even revealing his own appearance.

[… … I don’t know what you’re thinking, but, necromancer. You’d better not draw too much attention.]

As I was deep in thought, Behemoth muttered a warning.

[While I was locked up, countless people continued to be kidnapped and brought in. And among them, players like you made up almost half of them… … .]

‘So, are you trying to say that I might get kidnapped too?’

Instead of Behemoth answering my words, the wall began to move again, making a loud groan.

The sound of people cheering from across the hallway, and the host’s comments that seemed to be trying to liven up the atmosphere.

– A monster newcomer has arrived! The pride of our Colosseum! A challenger who appeared like a comet and defeated Behemoth with a single blow! What kind of form will he show this time?

-Come out! Come out!

Hundreds of people gathered together and shouted at me as if they were one giant entity.

As I was getting up from the sofa and walking towards it with brisk strides, the spider quietly called out to me.

[… … Sorcerer, if Behemoth’s words are true… … .]

‘It’s dangerous to stand out too much, is that it?’

The spider made no reply to my words.

It’s probably meant to be positive.

It only took a few seconds to cross the short passage, and in the few seconds that passed, the cheers of the audience who had seen me grew louder and louder, to the point where it was now painful to my ears.

-Please do it again this time!

-Just one more time and it’ll be 36 times! I bet my life on you!

I waited for a moment, surrounded by the shouts of people with bloodshot eyes and shouting at the top of their lungs, before the host, perhaps trying to liven things up even more, pointed to the door opposite me and shouted.

– Of course, it is true that he showed off his extremely powerful appearance, but that was only when he was fighting a monster! This opponent will be extremely difficult!

Kirik, bang.

As the door opened, a wizard wearing flowing robes walked out.

The robe was so long that it covered his entire body, so his face could not be seen, but the wizard’s voice was still audible.

[That guy is my opponent?]

It was as if he had used some kind of amplification magic, because his voice resonated throughout the Colosseum as loudly as the announcer’s.

[You’re giving me a kid who wouldn’t even fit into the Bone Fortress? Hey! You don’t know how to make undead, do you?]

Of course, the guy’s face was smiling brightly.

It was an obvious, third-rate provocation that could not even be tolerated, but the audience still cheered and shouted at the comment.

-hell!

-Send him to the abyss!

-Kill him!

Perhaps the host liked the enthusiasm of the audience, and began to give his commentary while giggling.

-Here is our Colosseum wizard who will stop the monstrous new challenger! Although he is only in the 3rd circle, the title of War Mage is not to be ignored! Furthermore, it is a painful matchup for the challenger who is a necromancer! I wonder how the challenger will overcome it!

With the host’s tone of voice, people’s eyes turned to me.

Under that gaze, which seemed to be telling me to say something now if I had anything to say, I quietly muttered to the spider.

‘Is there something like a magic eye that can make your voice louder among magic eyes?’

[It exists, but… …Why are you suddenly looking for it, Necromancer.]

‘Try walking once.’

Flash.

I felt a strange, foreign sensation in my throat, as if the spider had activated its magic eye.

-ah.

I raised my voice once, and the stadium was filled with a voice so loud that it startled me.

In the arena that had suddenly become quiet, I quietly looked at the magician in front of me.

‘Behemoth, you said that half of those kidnapped were like me?’

[Huh? Yeah, that’s right.]

Behemoth is flustered and flustered, not knowing he will be called.

As soon as I heard Behemoth’s answer, I immediately started to chuckle.

[Wait a minute, Sorcerer. You bastard… …!]

And right then, the spider seemed to have noticed my trick and was about to shout something.

-I don’t know who your teacher is, but I feel sorry for him.

Hwaak.

A storm of magical power began to sweep across the stadium.

“What did you just say? This corpse…….”

-I said it was a pity, because I knew very well how the master would feel if he found out that his disciple was fighting in the Colosseum.

Although it was not visible because it was covered by the robe, the reaction was explosive.

For a wizard, a master is like a sacred and inviolable realm.

That’s why the way to piss off a wizard was to just tease his master a little.

In fact, the effect was enormous.

Not only the wizard in front of me, but even some of the people who appeared to be wizards sitting in the audience began to get angry at me.

-Kill that bastard!

-Tear them to pieces and turn them into corpses! No! Spare their lives and torture them with mana!

-We made it into a test subject and removed its eyes and brain…

Of course, that’s just the noisy babbling of the wizard guys.

As expected, other people’s reactions were explosive.

-Poo-ha-ha! That kid is totally crazy!

-By the way, if this gets known to the Magic Tower, won’t the Bone Fortress be in chaos?

-I don’t know! Let’s just go and take a look!

Of course, there was one person who was troubled by my behavior.

[What on earth are you doing! Why are you so anxious about not being noticed!]

The spider that gave me the magic wand.

I spoke briefly to the spider who was screaming in helplessness.

‘You’ll find out after a while.’

And then my gaze turned to the audience.

In this coliseum where everyone shouts excitedly, people continue to maintain a blank expression.

They were all looking at me.

Sensing that I had successfully caught their attention, I immediately muttered quietly.

“Jaren, if this is what you want, to attract attention.”

I turned my gaze away from them, who seemed to be testing me, and turned back to the grumbling wizard guy.

“I guess I should offer a little more in additional compensation. Don’t you think so?”

Would the heavy butt of the manager move just because of something that draws attention?

If you want to move the guy, you have to put in at least as much effort as meeting him in person.

Of course, to do that, I had to first attract attention.

-Well, if you can, come.

-I’ll kill you, you dirty necrophiliac!

There was nothing more eye-catching than fighting.

In the boiling heat, the host announced the start of the fight with a smile.

-A fierce brawl between a necromancer and a war mage! Let’s start now!

I muttered to Jeren, who was watching from somewhere.

“I know you’re listening. Answer through the system window.”

At that moment, an empty system window appeared before my eyes.

Looking at the translucent window that had no words written on it, I smiled and said softly.

“If it is as you say that the tower is fair, then your compensation as the tower’s administrators will also be fair, right?”

This is a negotiation.

Negotiating to get a definitive answer from those management guys.

“Well, if you intend to break the laws of the tower while wearing the title of tower manager, then open the system window as it is, and if you will listen to me according to those laws-.”

As I muttered, I raised my middle finger to the wizard guy in front of me.

“Close that system window right now.”

Sweep.

As the translucent window that had been blocking my view disappeared with that sound, I started to laugh.

The negotiation was successful, so now all I have to do is-.

“I will kill you!”

All I had to do was kill that wizard.
