‘proposal?’
It had been several days since Odin had first spoken to Seun, and now he was making a proposal.
That means he had been thinking about it for quite some time, and if it was a proposal Odin would make to Seun.
‘It must be a recruitment.’
– The constellation, ‘The Fourth Day’ invites you to become part of Asgard.
Asgard.
It was the ‘Land of the Gods’ where warlike gods such as Odin, Thor, the god of thunder, and Tyr, the god of war, resided.
‘Well, you must have had a lot to worry about.’
Seun is strong. As the system acknowledges, he is stronger than any player who has ever entered the top.
Of course, it couldn’t compare to those who were born as dragons and climbed the tower like Kashalaccas, but its growth speed was better than that of a dragon.
But there was a problem.
The power that Seun Baro is immersing himself in.
Although no formal contracts were made, Seun and most of the Diablo clan members were associated with demons.
Even Seun was surrounded by three demons: Mammon, Beelzebub, and Leviathan.
Is this the end?
No. As he climbed the tower, he was antagonized by the gods of Olympus and also had a grudge with the god Khepri of Heliopolis.
Recruiting Seun means you might end up at odds with all of them.
Odin has now accepted all of these and made a recruitment offer to Seun.
– The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Down’ frowns.
– The constellation tilts its head, wondering what the ‘hungry prince’ is up to.
– The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Down’, personally explains that if this offer is accepted, you will not be able to eat in the future.
– The constellation, the ‘Hungry Prince’, screams at you, saying that it can’t be done.
The specific suggestions that came later were also unusual.
First, the apostolic proposal.
Odin, who was making the offer right away, said that he would allow him to make a contract with any god of Asgard if he wanted.
Second, the position of the Valhalla Guild.
It is not visible from the lower floors, which are less than 30 floors high, but as you climb the tower, players form a force called a guild and show great influence.
Among them, the Valhalla Guild was a guild formed by players who had made a contract with the gods of Asgard. It was one of the top ten strongest guilds.
He said that he would not be able to become the guild master right away, but if he grew to become the successor and surpassed the guild master’s strength, he would be given the position.
In addition to that, he made a proposal that was enough to make your eyes pop out, including the treasures of Asgard and various conveniences.
– The constellation, ‘Fifth Day’, watches over you with a grin.
– Constellation, I am sure that the ‘Fourth Day’ will be an unprecedentedly ripple-prone proposal from the Tower.
‘Did Freya intervene?’
Constellation, Fifth Day. Freya seems to have added strength to Odin’s hesitation.
‘It’s definitely a radical proposal.’
Se-woon nodded.
Every single detail in the proposal was tremendous.
If they accepted their offer, it would be a given that they would seize the top power in the tower.
Was it influenced by Asgard’s radical proposal?
The other gods who had been hesitating while watching Seun also began to make suggestions.
– The constellation, the ‘noon sun’, bows its head to you, and you are told that the great sun will shine upon you.
– The constellation, the ‘Noonday Sun’, says he will personally pay off Aur’s debt.
– The constellation, ‘the one who rolls the sun’, cries out that it cannot be so.
– The constellation, ‘The Noonday Sun’, takes Aur behind the sun, asking him to wait for a moment.
Heliophelis’s god, Ra, makes a proposal while making even Kepri, who holds a grudge against Seun, bow his head.
– The constellation, ‘the one who was born on his own’, invites you to the endless universe, saying that those who want to become great must play in the great waters.
My vision was dizzy due to messages from various constellations, including Brahma, the so-called creator god.
Although they were not as good as Odin’s proposal, each and every one of their suggestions was jaw-dropping.
The more this happened, the more the demons watching Seun became anxious.
Beelzebub was clearly fidgeting, and Mammon also seemed to be secretly nervous. The same goes for Leviathan, who had promised to build a temple.
As Se-un remained silent, the drank alcoholics, unable to hold back, also began to make suggestions.
– The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Bowed’, mutters that he would not dare to forget his kindness and go somewhere else.
– The constellation, ‘The Crow with the Bowed Head’, suggests that this be a time for him to officially become the Apostle of Greed.
– The constellation boasts that if the ‘Hungry Prince’ becomes his apostle, he will have an amazing appetite that will allow him to eat no matter how much he wants without feeling hungry.
– The constellation, ‘The Serpent Surrounding Time’, whispers that he too can be of great help if he regains his strength.
The three apostles’ proposal.
Although Sehun had previously refused to sign a formal contract, this was the first time the three had openly made a proposal to the apostles.
‘It’s new.’
For a moment, memories from before the regression came back to me.
After being betrayed by Pan in the tutorial, Seun climbed the tower on his own without the help of the constellations.
There were gods who seemed interested and reached out to me from time to time, but I didn’t believe them.
I climbed the tower more fiercely than others, believing that the only thing I could trust was my own strength and knowledge.
But what about now?
From the beginning of the tutorial, the two gods were with me, and now the constellations called the Lords were the first to reach out.
Although this wasn’t the purpose of my return, I couldn’t help but feel a new sense of emotion.
And after a while, Seun gave an answer to the constellations’ suggestion.
“Thank you, but I must decline.”
– The constellation shows regret, saying, “Is the ‘fourth day’ the same?”
– The constellation, the ‘Noon Sun’, returns with his brother in tow, and upon hearing the news, he once again turns behind the sun, saying that it is all his brother’s fault.
– The constellation clicks its tongue, saying that it is a waste for a ‘self-born’ to play in a small world.
– The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Bowed’, quietly sighs in relief.
Clearly, all the suggestions made by the constellations were desirable.
If you step here and there as if you are going somewhere, you may be able to steal various treasures from the constellations.
Moreover, the powers that Seun is using now are those of the demons and also Seun’s.
So, even if you make a contract with another constellation, there is no problem using the power of greed and gluttony.
Leviathan’s power can also be used as is, as it was borrowed under the pretext of a ‘promise’.
however.
‘Someday, these are the things that will hold me back.’
Seun’s first goal is to prevent the Shinma War.
Even if a new war breaks out, the damage must be kept to a minimum.
But what if Seun takes one side? The war will not stop until the opposing forces are destroyed.
The constellations whose powers have been halved cannot stop the Outer invasion.
Even if you take your time and try things out, in the end, you will have to make a choice.
At that time, it is certain that you will be hated by the constellations you have seen.
No matter how I thought about it, making contracts with other constellations was negative for my future plans.
The same goes for making contracts with the demons that are around you now.
– The constellation asks if the ‘fourth day’ will not make a contract with the demons.
“Yes. I will not contract with anyone.”
– The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Down’, folds its arms, saying that even if it is not a contract, there is no change in ownership.
– The constellation, ‘The Fourth Day’ asks why.
“Right now… …I want to see through my own strength.”
There was no need to turn the constellations into enemies by rejecting their offer.
That’s why Seun put forward the word ‘Kwancheol’. Right now, he wants to focus on his own strength and find out.
That also meant, ‘Not now, but someday you might need something to lean on.’
It was the most appropriate excuse to refuse while raising the expectations of the constellations.
As Se-Woon had expected, the constellations that had made the proposal nodded and began to withdraw one by one.
and.
– Constellation, I admire your will to see the ‘fourth day’ take hold of itself.
– The constellation, ‘The Fourth Day’, turns its back and tells them to come to the ‘Valhalla Guild’ someday.
– The constellation, ‘Fifth Day’ bids farewell.
‘Valhalla Guild.’
Before his return, Seun was an individual without any affiliation, but he carried out requests from various guilds.
As a result, I was able to naturally look into the rumors and tendencies of various guilds in detail.
Frankly, most of them were rotten.
These people have forgotten the player’s original purpose of climbing and are content to be the ruler of the tower. Their appearance resembles that of a hyena that seeks out the weak while avoiding lions.
However, the Valhalla Guild was different.
Because they had a belligerent nature and a strong sense of challenge, as if to prove that they were chosen by the constellations of Asgard.
In fact, they were the guild that was most active in conquering new high-rise buildings.
‘I have no intention of joining a force, but I might as well keep in touch with the Valhalla Guild.’
Even so, it was impossible to meet them now that I had cleared the 25th floor.
Se-Woon finished his thoughts.
– Through internal energy, the first form of the Purple Cloud Sword, Purple Cloud Opening, is strengthened.
– According to the secret of Jahashin Gong, heat is added to the martial arts.
Woohoo!
Following magic, he began to train in the power called supreme martial arts by heating up his danjeon, which had reached the sixth generation.
* * *
The training lasted longer than expected.
This is because the level of the 6th circle is completely different from that of the 5th circle, so it took a long time to adapt.
The same goes for the super-high-level martial arts that I was able to learn in earnest thanks to reaching the 6th gapja.
Even though I clearly had the knowledge of martial arts in my head, it was difficult to perform the martial arts as naturally as I had thought.
I guess it’s because I lack the ‘enlightenment’ that comes naturally when I reach this level.
Even so, the martial arts that Se-Woon displayed were exquisite enough to make even the constellations admire them.
– Clan-only residences are expanded.
As the training continued, the land around the residence became so dilapidated that it was reduced to ruins, so Seun expanded the residence by investing in public service.
A residence that has expanded to nearly twice its original size.
“Wow! It’s so wide!”
“Sister, we have so much space here. Do you want to try making something like a tank?”
“This will be fun! I like it!”
The twin sisters excitedly ran around and built all kinds of structures, while other clan members also expanded their scope of activities such as training.
And since I was already touching the clan options, I touched various options with the authority of the clan leader.
– A minor attack power buff is added to the Diablo Clan.
– The Diablo Clan receives a minor defense buff.
– The attack power buff of the Diablo Clan increases.
– The defense buff of the Diablo Clan increases.
… … .
Of course, there were basic buff options, as well as various status resistances and small inventory functions. It consumed quite a lot of public points, but it didn’t matter.
Seun’s accumulated public service points had already reached 10 million points.
I spent close to 3 million points tinkering with the options, but I didn’t feel like it was a waste at all.
‘There’s not much to use public funds for right now anyway.’
Even if it was the upper floors of the tower, most of the items that could be purchased using public points at the current level were of mediocre quality. They were inferior to the current equipment obtained from the Frost Fortress.
The equipment that Go Chang-seok made was better.
“Is everyone ready?”
“I didn’t know the clan leader would be the first to call for a rest. Thanks to him, I was able to rest until I was tired!”
“I’m telling you, my body is starting to shiver because of this.”
“The new buff that was added this time is also reliable.”
The Diablo clan has gathered in one place.
After Seun’s training was over, the others also got enough rest and became accustomed to the buff.
Then there is only one thing left.
“Let’s all get through this safely this time too!”
“let’s go!”
“Brother, let’s go together this time too!”
Next floor.
It’s time to challenge the 26th floor’s ordeal.
