Pick Me Up-Episode 42

# 42

42. Prologue(1)

I opened my eyes..

I saw a dingy ashy sky. When I turned my head, the familiar bed stood out. It was my room inside the hostel..

Turn your left arm. It was torn and blown away by the magic of the black priest..

Move properly. There was no hole in his right chest..

'Did you survive?.'

I thought I might die before I went back, but I was a step faster. It's shaped..

He raised himself from the bed and looked at his watch. 3: 45 a.m. It's time for everyone in the waiting room to sleep..

I lay down and closed my eyes, but my mind was clear.

Eventually I gave up and came out to the lobby..

Aaron sat on the sofa in the lobby, his head bowed.

I sat next to him and said.

"You're a good boy.."

"Oh, brother.."

Aaron raised his head and looked at me. My eyes were superimposed..

"Thank god you're safe. We were all worried.."

"Worry is dog horn. So, how great was the hard work, and the look was rotten.?"

"I was thinking about why we were fighting.."

"Reasons for fighting?"

"Since you left, there have been bodies in the city. and……."

Aaron's face darkened..

I think I know if I don't tell you..

There are a number of civilian NPCs in the city.

Even if you evacuate with tolerance, there is a limit to the capacity. A massacre would have taken place by the corpse. Jenna, Aaron, and Edith party inside, and the scene is vivid You must have watched..

I looked at Aaron, who was prone to water..

'Your stress level has increased..'

If you only repeat battle and training without rest, the stress of the hero will be Excessive stacking can lead to depression. Or the death of a genocidal or intimate colleague during a mission Even when I watch, I get depressed. Depression was one of the biggest causes of sudden death.

Aaron, who had been pouring water for a while, rose from his seat..

"I'll go in first. Please rest.."

"You're gonna come out with that face tomorrow.?"

Aaron laughed wryly and said, " Oh, my god.".

"He'll recover tomorrow.."

"Yeah, go in.."

"Example."

Aaron, who bowed to me, went back to his quarters..

In the dark lobby I sat alone and drank water.

I remember the guy who brought me here..

It was even before I came to the waiting room. Because of the mosaic, I couldn't see him properly. Only a bad voice, like scratching a metal, was left in his brain..

'You said you were waiting..'

If you had room for me, you would have asked a black priest who wanted to talk to you. I killed him..

I did not fall asleep until dawn that day, Khloe appeared.

I'll buy the night..

Anyway, one big battle is over, so we need to take measures to lower stress.

It's originally the role of Amkena, but as long as this guy can't do my job, he's not going to do it. No big deal..

I say hello to Khloe, who is preparing the bottom ingredients in the kitchen. Said.

"Take out the ingredients. Do the best dish you can.."

Khloe paused, but soon nodded and was in the warehouse All the ingredients were taken out. The baker's aunt, who followed, also began to perform her skills.

Breakfast meal for everyone in the waiting room.

On the table, meat dishes, various breads, salads and soups, etc. Lined with dishes.

Jenna, who was the first to come out of the restaurant, swung her eyes..

"What do you say about this? It's morning, but it's gorgeous.?"

"Why, I hate it.?"

"No! If this is always the case, it's a great welcome.!"

Jenna sat in a chair with a single smile.

Soon, members of the waiting room came out in turn. They were surprised once when they saw the food, and surprised twice when they saw me. It's worth it. I rarely showed up in the restaurant..

The meal begins.

I picked up some bread and looked at the face of the party member.

'Jenna is naturally normal. Aaron's fine. Iolka likes it..'

It doesn't look good.

But somehow he maintains the opposite sex.

2I looked at the party..

3Two women are fine. Usher is eating somehow..

Shurn and Mackin, the fifth members of each party, are dead, so we need to see. No..

To some extent, it was expected. The two were too late to join, and the level was too low.

'Deca.'

Dika was doing bullshit..

Edith stood up and dragged Dika out of the way..

The management of party members ' mentalities is also one of the roles of the leader..

The battle was fierce, but the casualties were largely absent.

That will be the cause..

Even so, it's never fine..

The stress was building up little by little without knowing it..

And that day, late in the evening, when everyone returned to their accommodation.

[Welcome to Pick Me Up!]

Amkena connected..

[Loading is over.]

[T O U C H !(Optional)]

The sky was lit up.

I was sitting on a square bench.

I knew Amkena was coming in..

10Lower Fire Attribute Stone given as a clear reward of the layer.

In the warehouse, the property stone of water and wind that I collected is stored.

The alarm came with a cheerful sound.

[Master, there are heroes waiting for promotion!]

[Upgradeable Hero - ' One(★)']

[Tips/For upgrade, you need an upgrade station, which is an attached building of the composite station.]

The operation window of Amkena comes to mind..

The Facilities tab has been touched..

['You have chosen the "Upgrade Station", an attached building of the "Synthetic Station". Do you want to build?]

[Yes(선택) / No]

Kurr.

A feeble vibration shook the waiting room..

[The upgrade station is completed! From now on, you can upgrade your hero.]

Then the item synthesis window came up.

Inside the composite window, red stone, blue stone, green stone rotate in a circle There are.

[Start synthesizing items!]

[Selection Material - Lower fire attribute stone, lower water attribute stone, lower wind Property Seongseok]

[Completed Items - Lower Upgrade Seats]

[Probability of success - 87%]

[Synthesis Method-Automatic]

[Do you want to synthesize?]

[Yes(선택) / No]

[Kudangtangtangtang!]

[Fairy Power!]

[Good!]

[Complete synthesis!]

['You have earned the "Lower Promotion Seat"!]

The warehouse door opened, and Issel popped out..

He held a rainbow-colored stone in his arms.

[Congratulations on your promotion.!]

I accepted the iridescent stone thrown by Isel without words.

[This is a 1st graduation. This is the 7th castle! Stomping Tower Attack!]

"7I don't know if I can get to the castle.."

[Huhu, if it is not Loki, who is in the 7th castle!]

If you did, Siris would already be seven stars..

I tried everywhere, but I couldn't have as many seven-star heroes.

[Master, start promotion!]

Rattling.

The doors of the synthesis station are open..

I took the upgrade seat in one hand and walked slowly inside.

Another door was open inside the synthetic room with the violet enchantress painted on it.

Enter the second door..

The upgrade room was almost the same structure as the composite room. Instead, the Enchantress was red, and she would put a stone in the center of the room. A small altar was placed. I put the upgrade stone on the altar.

A light red light was emitted from the upgrade seat..

Bang!

The doors of the synthetic plant were closed violently..

The doors of the upgrade station were closed..

Promotion.

One of the areas that the master can't see..

If you put Heroes and materials in the promotion center, you'll be promoted after a while. The hero emerges. The master couldn't tell what was going on inside..

Red light emanated from the whole Enchantment.

It's like coming out of a gap in construction, but somehow it's a little more on the skin I feel like I'm clinging..

It was like being submerged in deep water..

The red light enveloped his whole body..

When I opened my eyes again.

"Baby.."

Narrow, shabby room made of wood.

A middle-aged woman in a rocking chair was holding a newborn baby in her arms.

"Good, good.."

"Who are you??"

No answer.

This woman seemed to be similar to the NPC on the 10th floor..

But it's a little different.

Tung.

He reached out to the woman, but she bounced out of the middle..

'I can't touch it at all..'

I looked around the room..

10The place is not flat. The furniture was old and shabby.

A woman with dark hair and black eyes touched the baby and said.

"You're going to be a great person.."

The touch has plenty of affection.

I intuitively noticed the baby's identity.

'Han Israt.'

I'm not.

I don't have a family..

There was a guy over there who should have come here instead of me..

I remember the first time I came to the waiting room..

Israt, a village on the Haim Peninsula.

Isel called me by such a name.

'I don't know the English language..'

I saw a window in the corner of the room.

Beyond the window, there was an unidentified darkness procrastinating.

"Good, good.."

I can't afford to spend time on this useless thing..

At the end there was a door that went through out to the right wall. Grabbed the doorknob. This time it did not bounce. I opened the door in a short breath and got out of it..

When I came out, it was the square of the waiting room..

The square was full of decorations..

It is not a waiting room in Amkena. I couldn't tell where it was..

The sky is lit..

I walked slowly through the waiting room where there was no one.

There is only one door in the square. There were no accommodation, no warehouses, no training centers. When I look back at the door I came out, it's gone imperceptibly..

On the plaque at the gate, it was written as a gap in the construction.

Inter-profit.

The door opened with a bad sound, and something came out of the light.

Two pairs of wings, sparkling with star powder. Black dress and unique face.

'Isel?'

It's different..

This kid was about the size of a fist. Isel is not so small.

The fairy laughed as she flew around me. Then, with his little finger, he pointed inside the gap in the construction.

"You're gonna go in.?"

Nodding.

It's a prize, but when you're here, it's nothing different..

I took a short deep breath and entered the gap in the construction.

Only one mirror was placed in the center of the circular room.

[Prove your power!]

[Advent Dungeon: Difficulty - Super-grade]

"This is……."

Bang!

The door to the square was closed. The fairy continued to hover around me, giggling. Black light began to leak out of the mirror..

The ebon light lurched over me without any way to do it..

And, I stood alone inside the dark space.

[Durudung!]

[Advent Dungeon opens!]

[Warning! Warning! Warning!]

At the moment, the pressure enveloped his whole body as if it were a stab..

"Town……!"

I got down on one knee.

With a machine press, someone seemed to be squeezing me from above my head..

Blurred vision. Can't breathe. If you let go of your mind, your whole body will be squashed, and a handful of meat will be squashed. Seems to be.

['Han (★)'Feel this horror! All stats are reduced by 30% .]

I drew my sword and put it on the ground.

I can't tell if it's land or somewhere. Because it was just a bird's eye view..

He desperately held on with his sword. His body was shaking, and blood was pouring from his teeth..

I'm stunned when I go this way..

I scratched my left palm with a sword. Blood fell on the sword blade.

I felt a feeling in my head that I was breaking through something that was blocked.

['Han (★)'has entered a wide state!]

['Han (★)'is out of fear.]

「Hoo.」

"……Haa."

Breathe slowly, exhale again.

Regain control of the body.

I stood up from my seat.

He was standing in front of me..
