Babel Network – World Server
《New Ranking Update!》
《New rankers are entering the rankings in droves!》
Babel Network – Local Server
[Country Republic of Korea – The 40th tutorial of the Tower of Babel has finally ended.]
[Entry restrictions on each floor of the Tower of Babel have been lifted.]
[Local rankings are being updated on a large scale.]
Starting with Babel Network, World Notifications.
And then there are the local channel notifications that keep ringing.
Korean Babel Tower, the 40th tutorial has finally ended. All of the results were reported accordingly.
Messages that we have all seen so many times that we have become so accustomed to them that we just glance at them and pass them by without thinking much of them.
But today was different.
It stopped the steps of people walking along the street in their tracks and aroused their attention from those concentrating on their work.
The sound of a fanfare followed immediately.
Someone on the bus muttered.
“crazy……”
There is only one occasion when the trumpet sounds at Babel.
Babel Network
[Congratulations, Korea!]
[A S-class Awakener is born in the Republic of Korea.]
[Local Rankings ━ New Entry into Top 10!]
Just then the bus stopped at the stop where they were supposed to get off.
Thud, the slippers hit the floor.
In front of the crosswalk on Gangnam-daero. Everyone’s gaze is focused in one direction.
Geo’s gaze also followed them on its own.
The breaking news on the front electronic board that I saw as soon as I got off.
And then there was the black tower towering into the sky, and the magical writing covering the black outer walls of the tower.
“What the heck…? The birth of a fifth S-class is surprising enough, but entering the heavenly realm right after debuting?”
“Hey, hey, isn’t this the first time since the Magic King?”
“What? No way. There’s Bambi and Yasik King. They were ranked really high in the first place too.”
‘no.’
Choi Da-wit, Bambi, and Twilight all had first-time rankings outside the top 10.
By then, all the 1st and 2nd generation Awakeners had already taken their places in the rankings.
So this is definitely the ‘first’ since her debut.
Among the noisy citizens, Geo’s eyes were filled with magic. He looked at the Tower of Babel.

‘Whew. This is literally the birth of a supernova.’
Contrary to his appearance, he is very fiery from the start. As expected, even if he looks gentle, he is a regressor.
Judging from the way he was using his body at that time, it seemed like he was doing something, but this was far beyond Geo’s expectations.
‘Butler Baek, you seem to be a bigger shot than I thought.’
Hmm. Hmm. In short, the love of a thousand years is cooling off…
Suddenly, I remember the shock I felt when we first met and I feel sick.
Gyeonji-oh’s complexion suddenly became clouded. It was an allergic reaction to a chronic and incurable disease, annoying work.
‘Ugh… That failure, the title ‘Ugh-Ugh-Ugh’ comes to mind.’
Once my captivity on Mars was over, all desire to visit with a spoonful of ice cream had completely evaporated.
Light Do-hyun’s favorability gauge plummets.
It was a plunge so great that stock investors would have been shocked and asked, “What the heck is going on?”
“After all, first impressions are everything in life……”
There is no one who gave a bad first impression and then had a good one.
“Why? Sister, do you know that person?”
“No, no. I’m sorry. It’s my first time seeing you. I, uh, I don’t know you. But you really don’t like it. You smell so bad that it’s really annoying.”
Goodbye, Butler Baek. Adios!
The iron-clad Gyeonjio denied all previous relationships. He folded it carefully and waved it.
Geum-hee looked at the scoreboard again at the firm denial.
“Really? You look so impressive. You’re so clear and clean. It’s been a long time since I’ve felt handsome after seeing someone.”
“No. If you look closely, it’ll definitely look like a dwarf with eyes that are too bright and round.”
“……?”
“When I’m next to you, I feel like I have to live properly, I feel like I have to live diligently… What is this? It’s so scary. Anyway, it’s not that great. Yeah.”
……Isn’t that incredibly good?
Geum-hee’s face was trembling as she looked down at her older sister, but Geo was serious on his own.
He nodded several times and continued muttering.
“ah!”
He rummaged through his pockets, screaming.
Geum-hee also knew that that was an act of opening an inventory. Gyeon-ji-oh was the type of person who didn’t carry anything in his pockets.
“I missed the timing because of that thing you said you’d give me earlier. Here you go.”
“What is this?”
“Carry it around. No, wear it. Wearing accessories, what is that to school? Is it against the rules? No. Even if it’s against the rules, just do it.”
Chagrak.
Kyeon Geum-hee took hold of the object she had been handed. The necklace traced a line between her fingers.
Thin silver chain necklace.
As decoration, it had a small pendant the size of a coin.
Looking closely… it looks like there’s something written on it.
“What does it say? Is it runes?”
“A much older text than that.”
Cars passing by, people laughing and chatting.
Geo hummed while looking at the everyday cityscape. In a quiet and calm voice.
“[You consider me, and I consider you. Let’s protect each other from danger and hardship.]”
“……”
“[I will never turn away even in the face of death.]”
“……”
“Long ago, it was said that it was an oath made by the triplets of the ancient gods. That’s why they could leave together on the same day and at the same time even in the midst of war.”
“ah……”
“You’ll do it, right?”
Geum-hee is holding a necklace in her hand.
The answer was sufficient.
Geo smiled and approached. He stood on his heels and hung the Three Commandments around the neck of the youngest, who was bending over.
[This item becomes permanently bound when worn.]
[Do you want to specify this user?]
[The Three Commandments of the Holy One]
[- Third User: Kyeon Geum-hee]
“The information window has popped up?”
“huh.”
“I won’t say anything like, ‘I’ll do anything if you tell me because you’re being so annoying lately.’ But if you really think it’s dangerous, then what?”
“Okay. Can I just break this?”
“okay.”
Of course, it would be best if such a thing never happened.
There’s no harm in having insurance.
No matter what anyone says, this is the age of Babel.
Because we live in a strange world where strange black towers block the sky and stars shine even during the day.
The crosswalk light changes to green.
Geo stretched and held out his hand. To his younger brother, who was much bigger than him, but still much younger.
“Let’s go, my youngest. Let’s eat with my older sister.”
* * *
Oh, the judge’s seat.
O you who belong to the Star Force, who protect order and justice from evil…!
Why would you break your sacred vow and forsake your star?
■■■’s watch is not something reserved for you.
“I have never abandoned you. ■■■ also agreed. ■■■■.”
How foolish.
You have not failed yet, so go back and complete your mission.
“What is the standard for failure? What is the mission? I have nothing left.”
Judge.
“Stop talking nonsense, you idiot! Judgement? Everything I had to condemn or protect is already in the past! That’s why I crawled all the way here, watching all that crap!”
Complete the remaining mission.
“Shut up! All that’s left is regret and hatred! You do what you have to do! ■■■■!”
There’s nothing left.
There’s nothing left, I……
“You have guts. You even fell asleep.”
Squeak.
The sound of an iron chair scraping the floor.
Baek Do-hyun opened his closed eyes. The first thing he saw was bright lights, and then……
“Is this the fifth S-rank? You have nothing to regret. Even if it’s a formality, it’s still an interview.”
“……”
“Well, it’s not just the fifth.”
10th place on first entry.
Ha, I’ve never done this before.
“You’re not saying anything. Why?”
“……”
“I want to meet with the historian one-on-one… weren’t you the one who requested that?”
A unique, cynical smile that almost seems like a mocking laugh.
Curly black hair, unique lip dot.
A face that looks more like the visual vocalist of an underground decadent rock band than a young ruler who has secured his own territory.
But this young man in front of you is the youngest leader among the heads of the five major guilds in Korea.
The young boss of
“I gave it to you as you wished. Here, like this.”
And before he returned…
Baek Do-hyeon was also his only sworn brother.
A guide to proper living for rankers.
