I'm a full level newbie - Chapter 656
656fury. The end of war, and everyday life (1)
Tuk….
The mask tumbled down..
There was a very familiar face inside..
Your own face.
[Achieved the impossible achievement ‘Defeat Your Past Self’!]
[The final reward will be settled for the first person to conquer the tower.!]
[…….]
Status windows were appearing one after another, but I still couldn't see them properly..
Confusing.
My head feels like it's going to explode.
Naturally, I thought that the person called that man was my data that had climbed the 50th floor in the past. Because there was so much evidence that could be inferred..
However, that man is not his past data. The person who has collapsed before his eyes is his own data from conquering the 50th floor..
That Man: Me, who conquered the 50th floor of the Tower of Trials in the past..
Unknown: The alter ego I created from the past.
……This is the moment when the assumption became a piece of toilet paper..
then….
What on earth is this person called that man??
A third party that you don't know? That's why I know so much about this tower. Even called a player. Still, it didn't make sense to call him a resident..
Unless you have at least been to the top of the tower, you cannot explain the man's movements so far..
“I'm really dizzy.”
Jinhyuk smiled without realizing it..
I felt like my calculations so far were completely falling apart, but I didn't have time to think complicatedly right now..
The long fight is over and the enemy leader has fallen..
From now on, we must focus on minimizing damage to our allies and driving out the enemy's remnants..
And the beginning….
I guess it starts with announcing Unknown’s death..
[Player Kang Jin-hyuk uses a large loudspeaker.!]
[The current screen is transmitted externally..]
“My name is Jinhyuk Kang. I am the leader of Goinmul Corporation..”
Jinhyuk opened his mouth to everyone..
⁕ ⁕ ⁕
end of the war.
With their central point gone, the operators and ancient beings had no choice but to retreat..
The three knights of Revelation and the Shade Reaper were defeated by Cheon Yu-seong. Cheonse also had to return to where they came from without achieving their purpose..
The major battles have come to an end and all wars have finally come to an end..
and currently.
On the top floor of Olympus, Jinhyeok and Kronos were alone..
“Partial regression….”
The ancient god of time stroked his chin..
Certainly, it is not impossible to turn back some time and space if you use your own pocket watch..
However, what Jinhyuk is asking for now is not simply a short period of time turned back, but about a week. He also wanted to target an extremely large space..
“So many people died.”
A world that has been devastated by the covenant and ancient beings. It was no exaggeration to say that more than 90% of the population of over 7 billion had disappeared..
Since most of the remaining humans have abandoned their humanity or suffered serious injuries, it can be said that humanity has entered a post-apocalyptic world..
“I understand, but it's too much for me. Maybe no gods can do what you want.”
“I know. So I'd like to help you a little too..”
Jinhyuk took out an old gear from subspace..
It was one of the numerous items obtained after dealing with Unknown..
[Special item ‘Double Cross Line’ x 2]
Difficulty of obtaining: Limited to the first conqueror of the Tower of Trials.
Content: This is a special item that has the power to distort history. When used by someone with abilities related to 'time' and 'memory', it can increase the person's abilities by 1,500%. However, this item is a one-time use and cannot be reused forever..
[Fountain of Oblivion]
Difficulty of acquisition: Not measurable
Content: Enables 'large-scale memory manipulation' targeting all players around the world and the general public outside the tower. The duration of the distorted memory depends on the level of completion of the Well of Forgetting (current level of completion). 7%)
actually….
I had no intention of using the Fountain of Oblivion at this timing. I was thinking of using it to gain a clear advantage in a more dramatic situation..
but.
This incident completely changed my previous thinking..
[Some settings of items are changed by operating the system..]
[The activities of player Jinhyuk Kang and Goinmul Corporation are included in the scope of memory manipulation. In addition, 127 detailed memory manipulations were selected..]
[The memories of specific people are not damaged.]
Using system manipulation and double cross lines, the perfection of the Fountain of Forgetting was raised to the maximum..
Reviving humanity. After rebuilding a devastated civilization….
I will erase everyone's memories.
Memories of everyone except the few people you cherish..
“Why are you doing this? All mankind would be grateful to you if they knew they were alive again.?”
Kronos tilted his head..
He saves people despite being deceived by a false being called Unknown. If he does so, Jinhyeok's value will increase incomparably compared to before due to gratitude and guilt..
The epic story of human salvation.
He will be revered forever as a hero..
but.
“no.”
Jinhyuk quietly shook his head..
I worked hard for the people, but the price was criticism and reprimand..
They show their ugly nature by trampling on those who were their benefactors in order to survive. Of course, there were some who did not, but most of them turned their backs on Goinmul Corporation at the moment of crisis..
“You feel inflamed..”
“yes. Besides, considering the fight ahead, it's good that not many people know me. There's a high chance that the Primordial Beings will once again take people hostage or use them as leverage to pull me out..”
“Well, that’s also true. Those proud guys have been treated harshly by you, so they'll come at you with all their might out of pride..”
“I am also prepared for that part..”
Now the final act is approaching.
Anyway, whether I like it or not, I have no choice but to fight against them properly. There may be a lot to prepare for, but we have already made enough time..
“i get it. If that's what you mean... . I think this is possible if the items help..”
[Kronos activates the special relic ‘Pocket Watch of Time’!]
The giant clockwork spun quickly..
Moment.
My vision became blurred along with a strange sensation..
“Even if people forget you. I… we will remember you.”
With Kronos' words, some of the world's space returned..
⁕ ⁕ ⁕
Half a year has passed since the covenant..
[The current temperature in Seoul is 24 degrees, which is very sunny, and there is expected to be some daily temperature difference.….]
[A ranker from a famous overseas guild was caught drinking on Olympic Boulevard early yesterday morning.….]
[With the 39th floor of the Tower of Trials in full swing, we are expecting significant results from this 5th large-scale raid..]
Various breaking news came out one after another from a large electronic display board..
The past when humanity almost disappeared has disappeared. In that place was a quite threatening apocalypse... A certain amount of false truth was overlaid.
New heroes appeared. New guilds colluded with forces within the tower to increase their power..
A fairly dramatic change occurred in a short period of time..
and currently.
On the first floor of the Shilla Hotel, Goinmul Corporation was gathered in one place..
"It's peaceful. This world."
Alice sipped black tea while wearing an elegant dress..
"Are you going down your throat right now??"
Jinhyuk let out a long sigh..
I couldn't help but feel a headache..
Even though this place is an Instagram hot spot, it was natural to stand out if you dressed up like a medieval European nobleman..
A white dress with lots of lace and a parasol being used indoors. There are even gorgeous jewels.
No matter who saw it, it didn't look normal..
"Oh my, look at that."
"Let’s at least film a drama."
"Is he a celebrity from abroad? Very pretty."
People were whispering and looking this way..
"Still, it's nice to finally have it all together like this. This is the first time all members have gathered together since the war.?"
Likewise, Teresa, wearing a light blue dress, smiled brightly..
This was also where the attention was focused..
"Because everyone was so busy. I was also busy preparing to go back to school since I could no longer take a leave of absence.."
Cheon Yu-seong added a word..
Come to think of it, this guy was still a college student..
I can’t believe I even took that tough general education class while fighting against each other all day long.….
I thought this guy might be a real monster..
"Still, thanks to my brother, everyone lives their daily lives... It's a bit unfortunate that no one knows that.."
"Well, it was my brother’s decision. I guess there's a reason for everything…."
Taemin Lee and Yeonhwa Yeon, who were sitting at the table across from us, also shrugged their shoulders..
"I hope everyone is happy. I was the only one ruined. ha ha ha. Rent, labor costs, taxes, and maintenance costs exceed 100 million won per month... There are 0 new subscribers! Yesterday, the loan shark in the building next door said he felt sorry for me and bought me a meal? Does this make sense? yes? Wow. dirty capitalist world."
The Black Crow Guild virtually went bankrupt after Jinhyeok's name disappeared..
Only Baji President Kim Hee-woong, who led it, gulped down soju instead of tea..
The staff said you shouldn't drink here, but there was no way that would fall on deaf ears..
"I'm sorry to those customers, but I would appreciate it if you could lower your voice a little. It's a nuisance to other guests.."
"For ordinary people, just being in the same space as Jim is an honor beyond words. Rather, tell him to be grateful that he endures the inconvenience and mixes with lowly people..“
"yes?"
The manager opened his eyes wide..
With an expression that makes it difficult to believe that you heard correctly.
"Ha, but… Customers, there are still etiquette and rules within the hotel.…."
"rule? Is that the standard of the person who owns this hotel??"
Ellis' eyebrows were bent into an inverted shape..
When the manager became completely dumb, Ellis took it as a positive sign..
Subspace was opened and various treasures poured out..
"Thanks to someone erasing his memory, even Jim's vvvvvip privileges at various department stores disappeared. But, it doesn't matter. Those things were insignificant in front of my power.."
If the privilege is gone, just buy it..
In front of Ellis, who had already recovered his treasure, there was no one who could compete with him for money..
If the past could have collapsed inflation in the country….
…Now it has become a disaster that could shake the world economy..
"Mr. Ellis. It doesn't work that way. If you want to become the owner of a hotel, you have to buy shares in the hotel.."
Teresa began studying modern economics.
"How can you say that? foolish saint."
"Well, I'm not stupid! Anyway, download the stock app on your phone and then put money in.…."
"Hoo. Then?"
"If you press the buy button and start collecting stocks, you can become the owner of this company.."
"Is it okay if I just buy all the things that are piled up in this box office or something??"
"yes. That's it. Buy cheap and sell expensive. That's the basic principle of stocks.."
"That's fun. However, I don't know the same thing as buying cheap and selling expensive. I'll just buy everything at the highest price.."
"That's a great idea."
Ellis and Teresa were screaming and screaming..
It tells you something really good..
Jinhyuk pressed his throbbing temple..
At first glance, Ellis' bank account balance would easily exceed trillions..
Now, things were about to happen that could change the KOSPI index tomorrow morning..
But right then.
"I liked it because it was a place where cultured people gathered... Some strange things are ruining the atmosphere. Why are you talking nonsense about fake jewelry?."
"That's right. Mrs."
A sharp reaction came from the other side..
