Episode 52

[I don’t understand.]

Less noise.

Henette, who quickly recovered from the shock, picked up the monocle that had fallen to the floor.

[Is there something you don’t like? I thought you would accept it.]

Unlike Hennet, who asked why, Jeren looked at me with a sigh of relief, as if relieved that I had rejected his offer.

“I didn’t want to bring up unpleasant things, but let me be honest about how things turned out this way.”

The reason I got involved in this was fundamentally because of Jeren’s compensation.

Since the reward was the Life Vessel, the most essential material for creating an undead dragon, it was an offer I had no choice but to accept.

If it weren’t for Jeren’s suggestion, I would have been struggling to create an undead dragon by now, so I was grateful for that.

But the reason Jeren fundamentally gave him that opportunity was because the opportunity itself was a reward for completing the 11th floor quest.

In addition, it’s not just the reward, but all the quests I’ve completed while climbing up to this floor are ones that should have originally been given as additional rewards according to achievements.

As if that wasn’t enough, you’ve combined all the information that should have been given to me originally, the points I got from Hayu on the 11th floor, and you’re going to throw it away for just one opportunity to get a Life Vessel?

Even the ones who benefit from it are not just the tower or this world, but the administrators who are clearly responsible for stabilizing this tower.

‘And besides, he just wanted to use me as bait.’

Isn’t this just an act of tyranny that doesn’t consider my opinion at all and doesn’t see me as anything more than a pawn for their own gain?

“What I want is an equal relationship. I don’t want to be a dog that follows your orders.”

My eyes turned to Jeren, who had been standing still.

Jeren, who had seemed relieved just a moment ago, met my eyes, but was immediately startled and avoided my gaze.

“Isn’t that right, Manager Jeren?”

[Dog, dog! I can’t go that far… … !]

Jeren stammered as if she was about to say something in rebuttal, but her words were cut off by the next words.

[What does that mean?]

Henette’s gaze turned to me.

Although his expressionless face remained the same, I had this thought for a moment when I saw the guy’s eyes shaking for some reason.

‘… … Could it be that this bastard Jeren used me without reporting to Henette?’

By then, the anger directed at Jeren, and more broadly at the administrator, had gradually subsided.

Instead, what filled that space was absurdity that arose because it was so absurd.

‘No, come to your senses.’

Isn’t it possible that it’s all just an act?

By deliberately pressuring his subordinates in front of me, he is trying to increase their trust in me even more… … .

[I asked what that meant, Jeren!]

[Okay, I was wrong!]

……no.

If crying so hard and begging like that is acting, then it might be better to just be fooled.

Jeren explained the whole story to Henette while crying for a long time.

Only then did Henette learn the details, and she bowed deeply to me in apology, placing one hand on her head.

[I’m sorry, I thought it was a bit odd that a mere player would interfere here, but I never thought that Jeren wouldn’t have explained the whole story.]

If you bow your head so deeply and apologize, how can I refuse?

In front of me, who was receiving the apology with a flustered expression, Jeren was mumbling something with his head on the floor as if he was doing a handstand with his small body.

[sorry…….]

… … Maybe it would be better to just ignore it.

Henette, who had bowed her head in apology, soon shook her hand and delivered some welcome news.

[I don’t know if I should call it a price… … but I will make sure to pay you a fair reward for what you have accomplished, even if it is late.]

As soon as Henette finished speaking, numerous system windows appeared before my eyes.

[I have acquired a skull filled with countless grudges.]

[You have earned 300,000,000 points.]

[The commander’s rank increases.]

[You have acquired a jewel that gathers uneasy light.]

… … .

Most of them were materials for life vessels, but countless other things began to flow into my inventory, many of which had inexplicable uses.

[Commander! What the heck is this… …Waaaaaaah!]

There were so many of them that the spider inside screamed in terror.

[I originally planned to give you a completed Life Vessel, but… … I thought it would be better for someone with your level of skill to make it with your own hands, so I decided to only provide the materials. You can think of the other materials as rewards for the floors you’ve climbed.]

“Thank you.”

If you look at them individually, they may not seem like much, but if you use all of them as materials for a life vessel, it would be enough to create an undead that is one level higher than the original.

As great as this was, the rewards didn’t stop there.

[The commander’s rank increases.]

An undead dragon that was quietly sleeping in your inventory.

Something changed in this guy who originally had a self that was no different from that of an animal.

[… … Ah, brah.]

It began to speak, as if a baby were babbling.

What surprised me more than that fact were the spiders and behemoths in my inventory.

[What, what is this! This guy is suddenly talking!?]

[What’s going on!? Hey, wait a minute. Hold on… … !]

And the undead dragon immediately starts moving its body.

Henette calmly explained to me, who was dumbfounded by the sight.

[The original promised reward was only the Life Vessel, but your contact with Celestian is more than enough to compensate for that. I hope that a self that fits the expanded vessel will sprout.]

“……This is.”

It was truly an unexpected reward.

The ego of the undead dragon, which was the previous step in creating a dracolich, was strictly speaking irrelevant.

However, that is only the case when it is created, and the difference between having an ego and not having one makes a huge difference in the strength of the undead.

If spiders were monsters that acted on instinct without any sense of self, they wouldn’t be this powerful.

But what about that undead dragon now?

His body is not inferior to that of a spider, and even his growth potential is limitless due to the physical characteristics of a dragon.

Of course, the ego is only just beginning to emerge, so it is at best a baby-like state, but that is only for now.

‘If you cast the spell Reach, your ego will also mature appropriately.’

If that happens, a much more powerful Dracolich will be born than I had imagined.

I couldn’t help but be grateful to Henette, who had provided the starting point, even though it was a reward.

“……Thank you.”

[I should be the one thanking you. What you have done so far is more than worthy of this reward.]

Hennett, who had said that, said with a bitter smile.

[… … Could you please reconsider our proposal? Our situation is more dire than it seems.]

I hope that receiving compensation will ease my mind a little.

Of course, it was true that I felt relieved, but that didn’t mean I would accept their offer.

“That won’t work.”

[I see.]

Although Henette surprisingly gave up easily, her short words were filled with regret.

I raised the corners of my lips and said to him,

“Instead, I would like to make a suggestion. What do you think?”

[proposal?]

That was what Henette asked back, but in a way it was natural.

I felt bad that they were trying to use me as a long-term tool, but that’s all they did to me.

There was no further ill will, and even that was tolerable because of the compensation Hennet had given me.

Besides, these guys are the ones whose faces I have to keep seeing as I climb the tower.

Of course, the last thing I wanted was for our relationship to become uncomfortable because I rejected the offer.

Compared to that, what about the rankers these guys are dealing with?

There was no reason to meet in the first place, and they are even trying to destroy this tower.

Then, naturally, before I even reach the 100th floor, wouldn’t all my climbing up this tower be in vain?

“I will not participate in the war against your forces. However, if you have to fight against that force, or if there is something related to that…….”

The most important thing of all.

Among those guys, there’s one I absolutely hate.

As long as there is a Pope, I am in a position where I have no choice but to fight those guys.

“I will help you, assuming that you treat me as an equal partner. What do you think?”

[… … Players participate as equals with us and the administrators.]

I wonder if those words were quite shocking.

Jeren, who had been banging his head on the ground just a moment ago, shouted.

[Do you think that makes sense!?]

“Why doesn’t that make sense?”

I already had a similar relationship with a witch in the safe zone.

Now that I think about it, I think I’ve almost reached the 16th floor she mentioned, so I think I’ll need to meet her again…

[How can a single player be in the same position as an administrator… … .]

[Shut up, Jeren.]

bang!

As Henette stomped her foot, Jeren immediately shut his mouth with a squeak.

[Okay, if we have to fight them as you say, we will seek your cooperation as an equal.]

“I swear on the tower?”

When the name of the tower was mentioned, Henette’s eyes behind her monocle seemed to tremble slightly.

But that was only for a moment.

[I swear to the tower and to my beliefs.]

“I swear on my own name too.”

Let’s get to that point, Henette and I both turned our eyes to Jeren, who was still.

Jeren, startled, tried to mutter something, but under the silent pressure, she too muttered in a small voice.

[I swear on the top… …]

[Is that all?]

At Henet’s words, Jeren spoke in a voice that seemed to be crawling in reluctantly.

[… …I swear to my children.]

For a moment, it seemed as if I heard Jeren’s voice, more solemn than anything I had ever heard before.

… … Even if you rot, you are still a manager.

[Thank goodness, if you hadn’t accepted my offer, we would have been in big trouble.]

dump.

Henette sighed heavily and sat down on the sofa, then looked at me and said.

[No, if I told you this anyway, you might just roll your eyes and run away.]

“Well, is there any information related to the Pope?”

I just said it out of the blue, but when Henette nodded, I couldn’t help but look at him.

“……Please explain in more detail.”

[Honestly, didn’t I tell you earlier? We will treat you as our equal. Unlike before, this time we will provide you with sufficient information, so calm down for now.]

“i get it.”

Okay, phew.

As I took a few deep breaths, Henette held out a blank sheet of paper in front of me.

And within that paper, a certain landscape began to emerge little by little.

[Floor 16, originally a world where the Age of Darkness opened.]

As soon as Henette said that, familiar-looking buildings began to appear one after another.

Tall buildings with religious symbols on them, and the damn hymns to the Pope playing inside them.

[Our goal is to drive out the Holy Nation members who have settled here.]

It’s been a really long time.

It was then that I developed this desire to accomplish something.
