Episode 7
Babel Network
[Congratulations, Korea!]
[Tower of Babel – Clear the 38th floor!]
[Guild ‘Dawn’ rings the bell of victory.]
[Country Republic of Korea – The 39th floor of the Tower of Babel has been unlocked.]
It was around 11 o’clock at night.
Everyone who was finishing their day’s work raised their heads at the same time.
A few people go to the window and look out into the distance.
A faint bell sound.
Geo also opened his closed eyes.
It was the sound of a bell ringing from the tower.
When the Tower of Babel reaches the final gate on a level, a piece of paper appears at the end.
The moment the raid team that had passed all the trials reached that level, the next floor would open and the raid would be completely finished.
‘The feeling of the bell ringing at that time was so thrilling.’
Geo’s younger brother, Kyeon Ji-rok, used to laugh and call it the ultimate catharsis.
No matter how desperately I cross the line of life and death, no matter what price I pay.
Those rankers who keep climbing the tower until they die may already be addicted to it.

Imagine: Luck was on our side. It was our third attempt in a row, after we had given up in the middle. Sadly, it seems like there were no changes in the rankings 😀

White Bird: As you all know, the next one is the 39th floor. As it is the last of the 30 floors, the difficulty will be extremely high. I hope that the best of each guild will gather like on the 29th floor to prevent unnecessary sacrifices.

Bambi: Where are you now, Johnny?
Although he is always on the air and stays aloof on the channel, he often appears and responds to David’s comments.
Because Choi Da-wit is Geo’s favorite.
Every time I look at it, my heart feels so warm. I guess it’s a comfort to the mind and body.
‘As expected, I don’t study that much, so I’m not that smart.’
For the sake of all our self-esteem, I think only people like Choi Da-wit should be exposed on television.
Only then will Mrs. Park come to realize her daughter’s brilliance.
Jiiing.

hey
Hey hey
Don’t come home
Wow, you really only live for today; are you a mayfly?;;
Geo rolled over onto his side.
The house is dark. The ceiling is low.
Baek Do-hyeon’s house was a detached studio located in a university district.
He was quite neat, just like his owner, but he clearly had the traits of a poor family.
Honestly, it’s surprising. He looks so clean and doesn’t know anything about hardship.
Baek Do-hyeon, who readily gave his only mattress to the guest, laid out a blanket in the kitchen.
The shoulder blades are visible above the white T-shirt on which the back is turned.
Jianjio had good night vision.
“It might be a bit late to ask this question.”
“……You didn’t sleep?”
“Do you live alone?”
“yes.”
“why?”
“Well, I don’t have any siblings… Both my parents passed away in an accident when I was young. I lived at the big house until middle school, and then I lived away from home.”
“Alone like this?”
“Yes, alone like this.”
Baek Do-hyun answered with a smiling voice. It was plain.
“Then school, no, work?”
“I started my social life earlier than my peers. But I quit a few days ago due to some circumstances. By the way, is this a sudden census?”
“I don’t know this guy’s house, so I think I need to know how to organize it.”
“It’s unfair that you’re a woman I don’t know either. I don’t even know your name.”
Geo raised his head in surprise.
“You don’t know my name?”
“I don’t know. ‘Joe’… And the Magic King. Oh, and the twenty-year-old rapid rebirth that you told me on the way here. That’s all I know.”
Hmm.
Baek Do-hyun opened his eyes with a start at the sound he heard nearby. It was a surprise.
Before he knew it, Geo was looking down at him from the bedside with his chin resting on his hand.
A dim night with only moonlight shining through the window.
Kyeonji-oh, crouching down with his back curled up, really looked like a cat.
For example… strangely enough, it doesn’t seem ‘human’.
He looks infinitely young, and at the same time, infinitely old.
Underneath the moonlit night, something of benevolence that cannot be read by human eyes.
It was strange.
“You acted like you knew everything.”
“……ah.”
“You said you regressed. Why don’t you know?”
“How about that?”
“This guy really doesn’t know anything. He doesn’t even know what I’m looking at, so how can he tell me his name?”
“……I don’t know much about it, but I’ve had similar experiences.”
We met.
Asked for my name.
When he answered, he smiled as if he knew everything. He even showed me his covered face.
The laughter at that moment was so memorable that I can never forget it.
Baek Do-hyeon swallowed dry saliva.
‘Close…….’
Even if I want to get up, I can’t.
His gaze slid from Geo’s forehead to his lips as he lay there. Geo laughed.
“We weren’t close at all.”
Baek Do-hyun answered.
“I wanted to be like that….”
But it was too far.
No matter how famous he becomes and how much he rises to divinity.
Before that happened, a long time ago, this man was at the top. He was the owner of the unchanging throne.
I just couldn’t reach it.
Even at the end of the world.
So, Baek Do-hyeon doesn’t really believe in this distance right now.
“We only spoke once. After that, we only saw each other from a distance, passing each other a few times. ……I’m sorry for acting so selfishly today.”
“Yeah.”
“……yes?”
“Geo.”
Once a channel’s nickname is set, it cannot be changed.
There are many rankers who didn’t know that and built up a lot of hardships, but fortunately Geo wasn’t one of them.
Even the name is like a personality that pursues simplicity.
“G, Oh. My name.”
“……”
“So it’s not like I don’t know at all.”
So don’t make that face.
The viewer feels strangely, the main character who took this picture for the second time.
* * *
“I’m going to go back.”
“why?”
Guild
It is one of the top 5 guilds in Korea, and is a small, elite guild comprised entirely of top-ranking members.
The top ranker, Kyeon Ji-rok, is leading the team as a young leader.
As expected from his guild, which is the representative of the pure-hearted faction, it was also famous for being a gathering of die-hard pure-hearted factions obsessed with conquering the Tower of Babel.
“Why? Because of that damned nemesis in our house.”
“Your older sister who is taking the exam three times?”
“Speak softly, you’ll die.”
“There are a lot of things to be concerned about. What about the third attempt?”
Ah, why do you keep saying it three times? Gyeonjirok clicked his tongue nervously. Then he pretended to be serious and continued to talk.
“It’s not like you have to blame only Gyeonjio. The universities are a bit strange. It’s not because he didn’t study, but his innate intelligence isn’t bad. Is it because of the admissions scandal or something?”
“……Oh, really?”
“Hyung, do you want to find out? Your family is a conglomerate. Isn’t there a dark connection with the university?”
That twisted siscom son of a bitch.
It wasn’t like we’d only seen each other for a day or two. Sa Sejong skillfully changed the subject back to where it was.
“But why your sister?”
“That’s right.”
“what?”
“I ran away!”
This fucking hopeless carnivorous cat.
You can’t just pull out all the hair. Are you really going to run away? The outside world is so dangerous, aren’t you crazy?
Gyeonjirok started wandering around absentmindedly.
The guild members who came in on time for the meeting saw this and started to murmur. What is it? What do you need? Why are you groaning like that when you need to go to the bathroom?
“Why is the leader like that?”
“I heard my older sister ran away from home.”
“Oh my. My sister might run away from home. How frustrating it must have been. You don’t know the sorrow of being the eldest daughter of the Republic of Korea.”
Guild member Domi, who had no idea what kind of person Gyeonjio was, said with pity.
Kyeon Ji-rok was naturally furious and shouted, “Mr. Lee, tell me what you know!”
“You left without a card!”
“……?”
yes?
The guild members fell into an abnormal state due to the guild leader’s sudden rash actions that were illogical, contextless, and out of the blue.
Gyeon Ji-rok, who saw the reaction of the crowd, looked as if he was getting angry.
He began to give a long speech, pounding his chest.
“Don’t you understand the gravity of the situation? Mom cut up the credit card and left empty-handed! You’re not even picking up a spoon, you’re just dragging a three-line trash can in this cold-weather world!”
Are you guys psychopaths?
Kyeonjirok turned around, shivering at the inhumanity of his colleagues.
As I spoke, the poem “The Match Seller and Third-Time College Responder Kyeonji-oh” was already playing in my head.
Domi asked around in a suspicious and cautious tone.
“Are you crying right now…?”
“I’m really disappointed in you guys……”
‘It’s really hard to serve a twenty-year-old boss.’
Sa Se-jong clicked his tongue as he looked at the back of the twenty-year-old officer leaning against the wall.
Don’t you get so upset that you run away from the tower in the middle of a strategy, or don’t you ruin the mood right before a meeting?
Even though it is a time when emotions are extremely variable, it is still a miracle that the guild has not collapsed.
Even if they weren’t S-class, they would have definitely tried to rebel. Why do all monsters have flaws in their character?
If you ask yourselves what your tastes are, you will find that you have no desire to make a wish.
Sasejong, a rare common sense in the hunter world, bitterly organized his files.
[Official document requesting cooperation between the 5 major guilds regarding the conquest of the 39th floor of the Tower of Babel]
[Guild Babylon – Suggestion for Strengthening Power (Recruiting New Members) Related to ‘Tutorial’]
From the 39th floor that has finally opened to the tutorial season that is just around the corner.
Even though momentous events were imminent, the Babylon meeting seemed to be in a state of flux today.
* * *
Same time.
Here’s another person suffering because of the Kian humans.
“…….”
Baek Do-hyeon remained silent as he watched the house being transformed into a dungeon in just two days.
From the TV that’s on even though no one’s watching.
Layers of empty ice cream husks, half-eaten juice cups and cookie crumbs, and haphazardly crumpled towels that were still slightly dry…
Above all, that pile of quilts.
The back of her tiny head shook as she typed hard on the keyboard while wearing headphones.
Yap, yap! He even makes sound effects with his mouth.
Bam.
The take-out chicken and ice cream bags fell from Baek Do-hyun’s hands.
“Oh, you’re here? Are you sure about Hagenxz this time? If you bought me some Naxxru like last time, the next train will be Sunsalhaeng, Sunsalhaeng.”
Joe ran over, rummaged through the bag, and then ran over again.
Back to the original state and position without any change.
‘……Was caring originally this difficult……?’
[Trait, ‘The Butler Who Caught Fools’ added! Fighting!]
Mother and Father in heaven.
I, Baek Do-hyun, am twenty-five this year, in my second life.
It seems like I opened the door to an irreversible hell of parenting with a momentary choice.
A guide to proper living for rankers.
