Labyrinth Livarintos (1)

Jinhyuk stood in front of a huge building.

A mystery that breaks down conventional common sense and laws.

The gateway to the future of mankind.

Tower of Trials.

This is the place where all these stories will begin and end.

Although the gate to enter has not been activated yet.

'A lot of people have gathered.'

There were already thousands of people around the tower.

You have to go from the 1st floor 'Goblin Cave'. It's best to settle down there and hunt.

"I know. You have to level up quickly."

This time, let's make sure to climb the tower to the end.

teamed up or

or solo.

Everyone's eyes were red and bloodshot to get in faster than everyone else.

pounding! pounding! pounding!

My heart was beating fast.

And at that very moment.

[19:00]

['Tower of Trials' will be opened.]

Towers that appeared all over the world were opened at the same time.

Open!

Father, get in quickly!

Hurry!

The people who were waiting rushed towards the gate entrance like water.

Jinhyuk was also ready to move.

And walked into the pouring light.



huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo

Upon entering the tower, a completely different place from Seoul unfolded.

Wide meadows and blue sky.

And the green forest that touches the horizon came into my eyes.

This is the first floor of the Tower of Trials and the starting point where players from Korea gather.

Oooh!

Finally here!

Exactly the same as before!

People burst into cheers.

He looked around with a mixture of excitement and curiosity... .

what is it

It was like newbies starting the game for the first time.

Of course, that sentiment is fully understandable.

Because it was like my heart was pounding.

'The feeling is new.'

Jinhyuk stroked the grass that had grown up to his waist with his fingertips.

The fragrant smell of grass and the soft touch of the wind.

to the warmth of the sun.

It was a familiar yet nostalgic feeling.

However.

different from playing

Because this was real.

'If you die... . That'll be the end of it.'

There is no such thing as starting over again.

Jinhyuk looked at the air with calm, subdued eyes.

'Now is the time to slowly appear... .'

The moment I thought so.

T-tiring!

[Shadow that you entered the Tower of Trials.]

A blue status window appeared in front of me.

'It's starting.'

Jinhyuk waited for what would follow.

[100 coins were paid to commemorate the entrance to the tower.]

[Coins are currency that can be used in the Tower.]

[Players can upload videos of their achievements, and 100 coins are paid for every 10,000 views.]

[However, the fee is differentiated according to the level of the player.]

[Videos viewed by non-TOW residents are counted as views only for the first time. Please choose carefully before watching the video.]

[The live broadcast can only be turned on when dealing with the boss monster to go to the next floor.]

[We will take appropriate measures if manipulation of the number of views or other misconduct is detected.]

Yes.

That's it.

A connecting bridge connects those who climb the tower and those who live outside the tower.

The player collects the attention of viewers with as many diverse and novel videos as possible.

Viewers watch videos of players who are most likely to see the end of the tower, and increase the number of views.

This system was the most interesting among the Tower of Trials settings.

'Because it meant that the more famous BJs became, the more they could monopolize the coins.'

In the future, many players will upload videos of various concepts to appeal to them.

However, Jinhyuk had no intention of uploading a video for a while.

'It should be much more damaging to disclose the information I know than coins.'

Even if I use it all up later and edit and upload only the information without the sweet water, the reaction will be explosive.

There was no reason to worry about broadcasting already.

Similarly, live broadcasts that can be dragged around by viewers were not intended to be used except in special cases.

'Then let's go slowly.'

Jinhyuk looked at one side of the forest.

The first thing to do has already been decided.

different from others.

A little special way.



There are three types of hunting grounds in the Tower of Trials.

With dungeons, labyrinths and ruins.

The dungeon is a small hunting ground composed of boss monsters and mass production type.

Since it is the easiest and most widespread, most players mainly used this place.

On the other hand, the labyrinth boasts a very wide size, and it often takes longer to clear than the monster's strength.

At least one month or more.

Even the labyrinth on the upper floor may require more than 6 months of attack.

Finally, although the ruins vary in size, they were notorious for their difficulty.

This is because the top species such as dragons, giants, spirit beasts and spirit creatures are mainly in charge of bosses, and there are even tricky traps and barriers.

And.

Among the many options, Jinhyuk found the labyrinth 'Rivarintos' located in the very center of the first floor.

[[Name: Rivarintos]

Type: Labyrinth

Difficulty: B

Description: A labyrinth of Crete designed by Daedalus. It is characterized by a very complex maze and various types of traps.]

Considering that an ordinary goblin dungeon was an F-class, the B-class labyrinth was hell itself.

A beginner who just entered the Tower of Trials enters the labyrinth?

It was no different from saying that he just wanted to commit suicide.

However, there were many reasons why Jinhyuk chose this place.

Was it 6 years ago?

When he was attacking the early 30th floor of the tower, Jinhyuk realized one thing.

The fact that it is impossible to go up any further.

Since then, I have been looking for a solution like crazy.

He searched the lower floors to collect hidden pieces and chewed the cud one by one.

However, it was all to no avail.

it had to be useless.

Because it was bad from the start.

When I found out about the problem, I panicked.

When I had to delete the account I grew up with tears in my eyes and start again from the beginning, I thought a lot about whether to quit.

However, he continued to do so, and in the end, an old book was found in a ruin on the 10th floor.

It is written on what to do on the first floor to clear the tower.

The way to attack the 'Corridor of the Fallen' of the 1st floor ruins is to receive approval from the owner of the ruins as they were when you first arrived at the tower.

Just like when I first came.

In other words, you have to go to the boss at level 1 status.

The labyrinth in front of Jinhyuk right now is a training place to make it possible... say?

Well .

To call it a simple water lily is a bit absurd.

Because there is no option of 'killing the monsters that roam this labyrinth'.

'By the way, I think I'll do this again.'

Jinhyuk looked at the labyrinth and bit his taste buds.

I'd rather die than die, and the memories of coming out spitting that I'd never come back came to mind.

That's why, while I was in the military, I thought, 'It was worth trying at least once,' and when I woke up the next day, I felt like I was a new recruit.

That was just how I felt right now.

still.

'I'm not going to go in alone, so I won't be bored.'

Jinhyuk's eyes glanced backwards.

There were people following me from the moment I first entered the Tower of Trials.

He seems to think that he followed him perfectly, hiding himself behind a tree in his own way.

It's hard.

Like typical newbies.

'cute.'

I had a rough idea of what those people were thinking.

'But well... . Do you want it to be like your heart?'



Five or six men and women who were following Jinhyuk from a distance clicked their tongues.

I thought there was something, so I followed. It was a labyrinth, wasn't it?

Hmm. I didn't know there was a labyrinth like this.

Damn it. That's why I said it. Goblin hunting and going crazy!

Did I do that on purpose? I guess I came here to eat Hidden Piece because of the stagnant pose.

Let's stop fighting and let's go back. There must be some vacant seats now.

Several voices came and went.

Most of it was a waste of time, though.

at that time.

Shh! Wait. Look at what that human is doing.

The woman in the front put her index finger to her lips.

why?

Look carefully. That man is drawing characters at the entrance to the labyrinth.

At the woman's words, everyone's eyes turned to one side.

it's real

I wondered if the first text I saw was glowing blue.

kukukuku!

Soon the ground began to shake violently.

The labyrinth is being opened.

crazy!

Is this real?

You opened the labyrinth without a key?

Their pupils dilated rapidly.

You will need a key or material to enter the labyrinth.

But without any of that, I will open the entrance.

In a situation where common sense was completely broken, everyone was at a loss for words with their mouths wide open.

Let's go. We must go before that man disappears.

It was the woman in the front who broke the silence.

what?

Let's go in? I don't know what kind it is or how big it is?

Hana Park. Are you crazy now?

Be quiet and think about it.

A woman called Hana Park frowned as if frustrated.

"Aren't you also aware that the beginning is the most important in the Tower of Trials?"

That's it...

You know.

It was common knowledge that the more difficult the difficulty, the more important the early growth.

especially

[Especially if you have played Tower of Trials even once.]

Park Hana continued.

I didn't even get the key, but the labyrinth is open. Do you think this opportunity will come again?

experience, items, etc.

What you can achieve is limitless.

Besides, the difficulty will not be that high enough for a level 1 person to enter.

This is what I believe in.

A player without a single common item enters the labyrinth alone?

It was proof that the difficulty of the labyrinth was not high.

Well, it's a labyrinth on the first floor...

If you see that you are going alone, you must be right.

Everyone nodded as if in agreement.

Now, there is one last problem left.

But is that guy going to share the items with ease?

It is a matter of distributing the rewards obtained in the labyrinth.

Of course, I'm not going to share.

But it doesn't matter.

Because I had no intention of sharing it anyway.

You seem to like the labyrinth quite a bit, but let me stay in the labyrinth forever.

Park Hana pulled out a sharp iron needle from her arms.

'The sting of the giant courgette'.

It is a poisonous item that dies within 1 minute if even 1mg is injected.

Well, that's what I was talking about...

That's right. This is the item my brother got from the National Museum of Korea yesterday.

At Hana Park's words, everyone swallowed dry saliva.

It was said that there was a sea of blood...

It's amazing. You mean that you brought the item from that hell, right?

Hana-oppa said he's been playing this game for quite some time, so it must have been a dead person. Really.

Park Ha-jin, Park Ha-na's older brother

['Black Raven' when playing Tower of Trials]

It belonged to a place called a guild.

As one of the well-known middle-class guilds, the members of the guilds at that time gathered together to form a force on the first floor of this place.

You just have to trust me and follow me.

Park Hana looked at Jinhyuk in front of the labyrinth with a fishy smile.

In order to survive in a world that has changed, even murder had to be justified.

It's a natural thing.

Because it was the law of nature that the strong prey on the weak.

Park Hana had already made up her mind to obey the law.



crumble!

Six men and women appeared through the grass.

'Is it coming out now?'

It was too clumsy to hide his presence, and even yawned.

Still, it would be polite to pretend not to know.

Who are you?

Jinhyuk made a vigilant expression on his face.

My facial muscles throbbed as I tried to do something I had never done before.

Ooh, that's a chin.

Oh! We're not bad people.

Park Hana, who was in front, quickly raised her hands.

With a light smile on his lips as if to appeal that he had no intention of harming him.

We... well. We came to this forest to find a suitable hunting ground. Then we found him by chance.

You sound like a coincidence.

Put some saliva on your mouth and say.

What else is it that first introductions aren't bad people? Even the empty-brained villains from the 80s wouldn't say that.

[Lv1 'Eyes of Truth' is activated.]

[Park Hana's words are 'false'.]

Jinhyuk's eyes had already seen the boundary between truth and lies.

Nevertheless, there was only one reason why it suited this obvious play.

'Hana Park .'

The corner of Jinhyuk's mouth went up.

'This woman. It has some pretty interesting abilities.'

A unique ability that would be worthwhile to copy.
