Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits

[ Episode 245. 0th floor reward]

“Welcome to all who have entered the tower!”

It was a doll of Rune forces that greeted us with a bright smile.

From its appearance, it was possible to tell that it was not human in places, but the doll, whose expression was no different from that of a human, beckoned.

“My name is Dafran. You must have familiarized yourself with many things before entering the tower, but I will guide you directly. Please follow me.”

Following the doll’s guidance, people followed him at random.

But I knew what his purpose was, so I mingled with the crowd and pretended to follow him before talking to Diene.

“Diene, you already know what that doll is for, right?”

“uh. Still, it’s good for us to follow.”

“I will leave with Vivian. Come see us again later.”

“That’s right. Since the two of you ate your rank, can you get a stamp? I hope so. see you later.”

I could have asked why only we were able to occupy the dojo, but it was Diane after all.

Sensing Diene’s personality once again, she secretly left the ranks with Vivian.

The first floor of the tower was a residential area.

All kinds of amenities and lodging-related facilities existed, and of course, they were not free.

Here, the achievements of ranking on the 0th floor are displayed.

-Beep beep beep!

The place I arrived with Vivian was a shop run by TOP.

In fact, it was the origin of all goods used within the tower.

Inside the building, a cute lump of light floated above the counter with twinkling eyes.

– Beep!

[The grade of the 0th floor has been confirmed.]

[218 points have been accumulated.]

[1st place reward! Get a stamp from Piung.]

[Record-breaking reward! Get a stamp from Piung.]

Shortly thereafter, a small stick was created in front of a mass of light called Piung.

There were two things made in front of me, and as I heard, they were gold seals and platinum seals.

I had already obtained it in the game, so I knew how to use it or what it was for.

In particular, the power of this platinum seal was considerable.

“You can only use this for a month, right?”

“yes. That’s fine though. I have a platinum seal.”

“It was the first time I heard of the platinum seal. I didn’t even hear it during the lecture.”

“It is a stamp obtained by achieving a new record.”

The stamp obtained as a reward on the 0th floor allows you to use all facilities on the 1st floor for free.

Of course, depending on the grade of the dojang, the facilities available are different and the period of use is set, but there was no item more useful in the beginning.

In addition, the use of all facilities at the platinum dojo was free, and the period was three years.

It was like saying that I didn’t intend to stay here for three years, so at least everything was free while I was here.

After briefly explaining the platinum seal, Vivian pointed to the gold seal.

“Then you don’t need it.”

“yes. That’s why I’m thinking of giving it to Diene.”

“okay?”

I noticed something I didn’t like, but it doesn’t change my decision.

After all, platinum seals are enough for the two of us.

“We also sell Vivian’s stamps at a reasonable price.”

“I need you too.”

“Vivian can share my platinum seal.”

“Can we write together?”

“There is nothing wrong with that.”

Only then did Vivian’s expression brighten, and she nodded and put the silver stamp into her bosom.

Since the dojo is an item that can only be obtained when a new tower challenger enters once a year, even a silver or copper dojo could be a pretty good price.

We got out of the store and decided to grab a lodging first.

For now, since it was the first day, I decided to hand over the golden seal to Diene and organize my plans.

‘The first thing to do is…….’

Many people lived in the residential area on the first floor.

Among them, they ranged from challengers who came in last year to those who have been staying here for decades.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is literally another world.

The area of the first floor was bigger than I expected, so I had to go quite far to get to a place where I could use my platinum seal.

“If possible, we will go to the best place.”

“huh.”

Vivian responded reflexively, but probably because she didn’t know how good it was.

The best facilities in the tower were lined with better facilities than the imperial palace.

There were even people who didn’t leave the tower because of those facilities.

“These are the faces I haven’t seen before. Are you new?”

As I walked out of the store and walked down the street toward the place where Diene was going, someone suddenly started talking to me.

The appearance of touching did not seem to have been touched with good intentions.

It’s natural if it’s obvious, but there was a territorial attitude in such a place of the deceased.

“Where are you from?”

“Do you know me?”

“what?”

“Why are you talking half-heartedly in the first place?”

I deliberately provoked my opponent.

Sometimes you need to prove your strength.

A certain amount of force wasn’t bad when it came to getting rid of nuisances.

“I am a 4th year prover. What do you say to a newcomer who dares not even know the rules?”

“You’ve been here for four years, so you know your skills.”

“You are crazy.”

It seemed like an opponent from midfield, but eventually he pulled out his sword.

The place called the tower is a world of weak meat.

It had different rules from the outside world, and most cases were resolved by force.

“I will be generous and take only one wrist. Don’t make mistakes from now on and be polite to the senior’s question……”

Pew!

Before I could finish my words, Vivian, who was next to me, moved at lightning speed and punched the opponent.

With that one shot, the opponent flung back with broken teeth.

“what? Are you fighting again?”

“Are these the first faces you see? Are you new?”

“Hahaha! An annual event that happens every year! Looks like a lot of hot-blooded guys came in this year too!”

It seemed that a rather good spectacle had appeared in the surroundings, and it aroused excitement.

At the same time, the opponent who flew away stole a nosebleed and rose again.

“You coward…!”

Fuck!

But I couldn’t finish this one and flew away again.

Truly an overwhelming power difference.

Vivian looked at her opponent with a cold expression and asked me.

“Should I kill you?”

“no. You don’t have to go that far.”

Actually, that guy was nothing more than bait.

If you make a fuss like this, a guy with a pretty name will eventually appear.

I just have to hit him with overwhelming force.

“ha ha ha! Songgang can’t do anything and just gets beaten up!”

“That’s because I usually play too much.”

“Anyway, those newcomers are pretty strong. No matter how little Songgang is, he is a 4th year prover.”

This area was probably the territory of the central power, and everyone was dressed in Chinese style.

It was an atmosphere that somehow reminded me of Earth.

“Hey, what’s going on again?”

Just then, a young man with an indolent impression walked out of a building that looked like a pub.

“Have you come, Master Namgung Ilyeong? It’s nothing.”

“Songgang was being beaten and beaten by new recruits who just came in today. haha.”

Oh, I never thought I would meet Namgoong Ilyoung here.

He was a person who used strength in the middle power.

“Haha, of course, there is a commotion when I go out on an outing here after a long time. It doesn’t look like you’re from the Central Plains, but why are you arguing about it?”

“Well, since he is a newcomer, isn’t Song Kang trying to touch him? haha!”

“Songgang, does that guy still go around like that? I’m sorry.”

It was a little different from Lucia’s lazy appearance.

As if he were the incarnation of indolence, he was a man whose languidness radiated from every breath and a strange beauty of decadence.

“It is beautiful.”

Suddenly, looking at Vivian, I didn’t like what she said.

“First of all, I apologize for causing trouble. What faction are you from?”

“Rodlene.”

“Right. Do I still need to let go of my anger?”

Ilyeong Namgung pointed to Songgang and asked.

However, I shook my head because Ilyeong Namgung was a bigger player than I thought.

“In the first place, that side started first, so you don’t have to ask us.”

“That’s right.”

Namgoong Ilyeong nodded and looked at me for a moment.

Then he smiled strangely.

……You’re tremblingly handsome.

“That guy will be punished separately by us. did it happen?”

“yes.”

“What is your name by any chance?”

I wondered if Namgoong Ilyoung was asking Vivian, but his eyes were focused on me.

“Adrias Cromwell.”

“Ah, that is difficult. Adrias? I’ll see you again when I get a chance.”

With that said, he trudged back to the tavern.

Soon after, we started walking as we saw the man named Songgang, who had been arguing with us, being dragged into the bar.

“He was just strong.”

“Yes.”

“Why stay in the tower?”

Ilyoung Namgung.

He was the second son of the Namgung family, the head of famous families called the 5th generation of Jungwon.

The reason he remains here is purely to manage the midfield forces inside the tower, and his skills are already at the Auror Master level.

‘But…’

The only thing that remained in my memory was his filthy handsome appearance.

“If that person attacks Adrias, will I be able to protect him?”

“Why are you so worried?”

“Because I am an escort knight.”

I smiled awkwardly at Vivian’s pure words, who always thought only of me.

“Two can win.”

“huh.”

After chatting and walking, we finally arrived at the place where Diene was.

It was a place I could come to because I already knew where the doll would have taken it in the first place.

“Diene.”

She was seen drinking water and resting in an empty lot with most of the new recruits who had just entered.

When I called my name, Diene confirmed me and nodded.

“I’m here?”

“Take this.”

I held the seal in my fist and handed it to her.

If it was Diene, I wouldn’t have to worry about being taken away, but it was something I didn’t know.

“What?”

“Don’t look around.”

Having listened to my advice and dutifully getting the seal, she widened her eyes when she saw the gold glittering seal.

“This? Why this?”

“I got another one with a better one. There was a request from the Master of the Magic Tower and we have been together for years, so we have to take care of this much.”

“There’s nothing wrong with going outside.”

“I don’t even want it. You need Diene’s strength to climb the tower anyway, so consider it an investment for him.”

Diene, who seemed to be troubled by my words for a moment, nodded.

“okay. Still, I have to be with these people right now. It’s a bit ambiguous because only I can use the dojang.”

“You can buy food indefinitely with that seal, so you can use it together except for the accommodation.”

Platinum Dojo doesn’t even have that restriction, so it’s a real scam.

Diene said thank you and then turned to Vivian.

“I don’t know what else I’ll do, so keep an eye on me.”

“huh.”

You say it like I’m just having an accident.

Just as she was about to head to the center of the first floor to use the platinum seal in earnest after handing over the seal to Diene, a doll appeared to the resting people.

“Now, shall we go back to work?”

Basically, life here was solved with points, and there were various ways to earn points.

This year, it was the turn of the Rune forces, so it seems that the Rune forces were in charge. This series of things done to the newcomers was aimed at adapting them to the Tower, but in fact, they were provided with labor.

However, since it was beneficial to both sides, it was a natural culture that took place every year in the Tower.

“uh? Where are you guys going?”

But, by the way, we also ran into each other.

I had quietly slipped out before, but now the timing was bad.

“ah! When I looked for the people who were in the rankings earlier, I didn’t see them, so it was them!”

This is difficult.

I just stared at the doll without answering.

It looks like a human, but it’s definitely a doll.

I just wonder if I should call her a doll because she has feelings.

“Did you get the stamp?”

“Yes, so I will leave.”

I finally said it honestly.

At first glance, the doll’s eyes were filled with greed.

It’s really difficult.

“You were number one.”

“May I go?”

“wait a minute.”

She(?) suddenly turned over her body and fiddled with something.

Knowing that the action was contact with another doll, I told Vivian.

“I run.”

“huh.”

Seeing Vivian nod without any response, she immediately ran.

The two of us ran out in an instant and tried to get as far away from the vacant lot as possible.

Tung!

However, a doll stood in our way.

“wait for me.”

It was a friendly tone, but I immediately recognized the doll’s true identity and had no choice but to stop.

“thank you.”

The doll expressing gratitude had a beautiful appearance.

As if to prove that she was not human, the doll with shiny hair and transparent skin was actually the person I was going to visit tomorrow.

‘Garnet.’

It was a doll that was an essential companion for climbing the tower.
