Newbie Life of a Former Ranker

If you stay still, you will die anyway.

Do-jin only attacks with the mindset of ‘killing before he dies’.

Kusa responds with a one-sided attack with the mindset that ‘I can’t resign with the title of the strongest guardian on the 9th floor’.

The confrontation between a proud human and a spirit created a truly rare scene.

Where would you go to see a mediocre wizard user and a boss monster ‘matching each other’?

What was even more surprising was that the tide was turning in favor of the humans, not the giant fiery serpents.

【Burn and die, human!】

Kusa, who spits fire while spitting lines like a patient suffering from secondary illness.

Even though it was an attack that would put the tanker in a dying state just by brushing it normally, Dojin’s vitality was slightly drained.

The trio of fire itself + high magic defense + high stamina stats for a mage gave Do-jin an almost invincible body.

On the other hand, Dojin’s water and ice magic accumulated very honest damage to Kusa, who was born with a destiny of fire.

for some time.

【Hey wait!】

Kusa, whose size had significantly decreased, exclaimed urgently.

However, there was no reason for Dojin to accept the ceasefire request.

《Ice Sphere》

Do-jin blows the spinning 「Ice Sphere」 while continually spewing out cold air.

Kusa swung her tail and fired hot air at the spinning ice sphere.

The ice met with fire melts.

It looks like it melted in vain, but in order to get rid of it, Kusado had to consume a portion of his power as well.

The evidence was that Kusa’s size had shrunk very slightly.

【This guy!】

When the ‘Wait’ he shouted while enduring humiliation was ignored, Kusa poured a large amount of his remaining strength into several fireballs.

It was then.

“for a moment!”

Dojin stopped attacking and shouted time.

Kusa, who was about to launch an attack, said as she waved the fireball she had made, perhaps feeling a bit unfair.

【My, why do I have to stop!】

Either that or not, Do-jin secretly drank the healing potion and mana potion, covering his mouth with the hem of his robe.

Well… As expected, the tick damage is coming in little by little, so the recovery efficiency is not good.

Still, it would be enough to delay the point of death a little.

Do-jin, who cowardly tried to recover alone… … .

《Ice Arrow》

《Ice Sphere》

《Ice Spear》

He immediately started attacking again.

Conversation while fighting each other for life? it’s funny

It’s better to split the time between breathing and exhaling to use one more magic.

Kusa got very angry and said something, but Dojin couldn’t hear it.

Do-jin just used magic and used it again.

Then at some point.

Kusa stopped.

His eyes, which seemed a little light and frivolous, had settled down.

At that moment, Dojin was unable to use magic.

Not only that, the little by little life was fixed, and the mana value was also fixed.

It has become a state where nothing can change, no.

‘what?’

Dojin was nervous.

I thought it was a precursor to entering a new phase.

But it wasn’t.

【… It’s funny. To think that there would be a human who would pass this test. Also, I didn’t know that person was a guy like you.]

Do-jin passed the guardian’s test.

If it was futile, it was a futile result.

It was the same for Kusa as well, so she shook her head as if she was uncomfortable with something.

To the right of Kusa, the wind that had been dissipated by Dojin appeared with a gust of wind.

【No, enough. The author has sufficiently demonstrated his skills.]

【… … .]

A stone rose from the left side of Kusa, who kept her mouth shut, and took the shape of a bird.

It was biting.

【I also have the same thoughts as Sakpung. Clearly, the method of passing Kusa’s test was close to expedient, and it was also inelegant and radical, but… … . Sometimes, it’s important to not choose any means to overcome insurmountable walls.]

Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm

Munda glanced at Do-jin as she picked out a feather made of stone, and her beaks clashed.

As if that’s all you have to say.

【… I know even if you don’t say so. And as long as he passed the standards set by the rules anyway, the fact that that person passed the test is a reality that cannot be changed.]

thud. Kusa hit the floor with her tail, Sakpung with her scabbard, and Munda with her leg.

And all three spoke at the same time.

【Choose, the first human to challenge the Tower of Challenge and pass our test.】

[You have cleared the 9th floor of the Tower of Challenge.]

A message pops up.

Of the three standing side by side, Sakpung took a step forward.

【Human, choose.】

Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm

Munda hummed and flew up.

【Here you must choose one of two rewards.】

This time it’s Kusa.

【One is to receive something to make you stronger and return to your world along the way you came up.】

another one.

【Having a chance to see what’s out there beyond here.】

what would you choose The voices of the three spirits overlap.

A door rose behind the three spirits.

It was the door through which you go to the top floor of the Tower of Challenge.

[Compensation upgrade user benefits.]

[A chance to enter the 10th floor is given.]

[All rewards are replaced with 10th floor reward upgrades when selecting pick up tickets for the 10th floor.]

[The Tower of Challenge challenge ends when the 9th floor reward is selected.]

Then a system message pops up.

Dojin was embarrassed.

‘what’s this? Do I have to gamble again to get to the 10th floor?’

Dojin had promised.

Let’s stop gambling with rewards.

It was Do-jin’s plan to receive the 9th floor reward with a lot of bets and challenge the 10th floor with a comfortable mind.

Unlike the 9th floor, where we had information and devised strategies for attacking, the 10th floor was a truly unknown territory.

But if you get the reward, you can’t enter the 10th floor at all.

‘Then the 9th floor is actually the last floor of the Tower of Challenge, and the 10th floor is about the hidden floor.’

For less than a second, Dojin’s mind swirled with tremendous agony.

At that time, Kusa spoke to Dojin.

【Are you worried, human?】

Even so, Dojin nodded as it was Kusa who had a little intimacy with them as they exchanged a few words.

“Of course, don’t worry. They say you have to give up a lot to get to the 10th floor.”

【Isn’t it just a matter of passing the exam on the 10th floor?】

Dojin smiled.

“I had a lot of trouble here, but would it be easy on the 10th floor? Rather, it will be more difficult.”

Kusa twisted the corner of her mouth as if mocking.

【You look like you’re not confident. The guy who attacked me fearlessly. Then, like a frightened beast, it would be enough to curl up and run away. What are you thinking about?】

To Kusa’s question, Dojin pointed to the door behind Kusa.

“I’m curious about what’s there, so I’m thinking about it.”

【You’re curious.】

“okay.”

【Then I’ll tell you what lies beyond that door.】

“… … ?”

Do-jin looks at Kusa, who suddenly acts kindly, with a questionable eye.

Kusa, who was looking at him with thin eyes, hahahahaha! I laughed.

【It’s a lie! No, I can’t tell you that in the first place. I don’t even know what’s out there!]

It’s revenge for the cowardly thing you did earlier! and Kusa laughed even louder.

Seeing Kusa like that, Sakpung shook his head.

【Sorry. Don’t get me wrong though. A guy like that is the only one among the spirits I know.]

what? what am i And Kusa expressed her dissatisfaction with her eyes. However, Sakpung and Munda ignored it.

【Your concern is valid. Curiosity can be the driving force for development, but it can also be the beginning of disaster.]

Opening her mouth in a gentle voice, Munda looked back and forth between Dojin and the door leading to the 10th floor.

【Just let me tell you one fact that will add weight to your choice.】

“What is it?”

【If you don’t open that door, sooner or later the power to suppress the perishing star will run out. But if you open that door, the doomsday star won’t shine until this tower disappears.]

To sum this up briefly.

‘If you only break up to the 9th floor, the buff ends after a few days and the debuff starts. Does that mean that as long as I enter the 10th floor, the buffs will be maintained until the end of the world event, regardless of whether I wake up or not?’

It was that the experience of all Nuri depended on Do-jin’s choice… Unfortunately, it was out of Dojin’s interest to eat less and more experience points from others.

but.

‘It’s an important choice enough to determine the direction of the buffs and debuffs scattered throughout the world.’

At this point, my curiosity grew to the point where I couldn’t bear to check what the hell was beyond that door.

‘… Compensation doesn’t matter. It’s important.’

Reason, my head goes wild. Get the 9th floor reward right now and go back.

However, her heart and emotions grab the hair of the opposite sex and pin it to the floor.

Are you going to run away from this adventure?

‘ha… Will it end up like this again?’

Deciding what to choose, Dojin closed her eyes and thought.

‘It’s a gamble that you’ll have a lot of things if you win as much as you give up.’

The bigger the risk, the bigger the stake when you successfully gamble against the odds.

So it wouldn’t be a bad gamble.

‘It’s not always like that though.’

Do-jin, who clicked his tongue with a tsk, met the eyes of the three spirits.

“I will choose.”

The gazes of the three spirits stared at Dojin intensely.

“My choice is a challenge.”

【This is a suitable choice for those who have entered the Tower of Challenge.】

【Reckless but also brave.】

【Hey, if you’re stupid, you’re brave.】

Sakpung, Munda, and Kusa spoke at the same time.

Dojin nodded to Sakpung and thanked Munda.

“Thank you. for helping me choose If my challenge can prevent a disaster from befalling all of Rostania, then this choice will have value.”

【I said this in the belief that if you faithfully took on our test, you would choose a challenge rather than stability for others.】

Kusa ignored it.

Baby, I’m going to get rid of it.

Dojin didn’t even look at the narrow-minded snake.

[I salute you for choosing the path of a great challenge, giving up guaranteed wealth and stable growth.]

[The light of Laves, the ruin of Lostania, is getting weaker. it goes away Bella’s light flickers intensely!]

[The 10th floor of the Tower of Challenge is open.]

My eyes were stained white.

The last thing Dojin saw were the three spirits watching him disappear.

And when the vision, which had been stained white, returned to normal, Do-jin was welcomed.

It was unimaginable.
