Chapter 292 – Side Story Part 2. Naked Newbie Life (04)
‘Is this really a tower?’
It is known that the tower appeared when the gate was first created on Earth, but has now all disappeared.
Unlike the Dungeon Gate, the tower disappears when the final boss is defeated, and I understand that the early transcendents attacked all existing towers and destroyed them all.
What was quickly forgotten in people’s memories was the tower… The tower-type dungeon.
‘Could that purple gate be the entrance to the tower?’
I put my thoughts aside for a moment and asked again to the woman in front of me with a mysterious expression.
A little more politely.
“So, what business does Mr. Li Yan of Ganarin Village, a resident of the lowest class, have for me?”
“Well, that’s… I don’t know if you know, but there are countless monsters on the floor, except around the village.”
I nodded without answering.
“Our residents make a living with the items they get from defeating those monsters.”
“Hmm…”
“So, hey… If you don’t mind…”
“…?”
“Can you have a party with me?”
Bright eyes look up at me.
Maybe it’s because of her slightly bent back, but her two breasts, which were already impressive, are shaking softly.
What on earth does this woman want me to party with?
I have some doubts, but from my point of view, there is no reason to refuse.
No, even if I were to be more proactive and make people like it, it wouldn’t be enough.
“Good.”
I held out her hand, and Li Yan took mine with a look of surprise and joy.
‘Tch…’
However, even though my hand and the other person’s hand were in contact, I could not check Li Yan’s skills, her abilities, or her potential.
Permissions are still not working.
‘But in order to utilize synchro link, you need something to synchronize with, no matter what.’
Li Yan is not bad.
Body too. Appearance too.
Of course, depending on what abilities she possesses, their usefulness will have to be evaluated separately later.
There is nothing wrong with treating her as just the first sex partner in the tower.
This woman probably can’t even imagine.
She knew that sooner or later she would have to mix herself with me.
“Wow. Thank you!”
Li Yan was happy with her blushing face, then she clapped her hands and took something out of her luggage that she was wearing.
“Here. Take this. It’s a bit worn, but it’s much better than what you’re wearing now. It’s a gift to commemorate the party.”
It was close to rags.
It was full of strange stitch marks from how much it had tilted.
“Thank you so much.”
Although I wasn’t very pleased, I politely expressed my gratitude.
It starts now.
From now on, you need to pay attention to what you say, what you do, and what you pay attention to build goodwill.
No matter what happens, it is urgent to find a woman as soon as possible for testing purposes, raise the synchronization rate, and understand the true nature of this power.
‘Well, it’s still a lot better than what I’m wearing now.’
Above all, this rabbit fur is so warm that you will die of heat.
It’s okay to expose your groin for some fresh air once or twice, but if you stay for a few more hours, you might end up with sweat rashes on your crotch and thighs.
I immediately took off all the rabbit fur I was wearing and put on the rags that Li Yan had given me.
There were no underwear or pants, but it felt a bit like a poncho, so I wouldn’t be considered a pervert if I went to town wearing it.
‘I’m watching…’
I acted insensitive and got naked in front of Li Yan, but surprisingly, he didn’t avoid my gaze.
‘There doesn’t seem to be any pretense. ‘Maybe it’s surprisingly fast like this?’
It’s nothing compared to my original body, but my current body and Yukbong are more than enough to satisfy even one woman.
For no reason, I acted as if a piece of cloth was hanging over my head and shoulders and showed off my lower body.
Like a cat wagging its tail, shaking its waist for no reason to tempt you.
However, if it goes on too long, it could lead to misunderstandings, so that’s it for now.
“How do you feel?”
“Eh? Ah, yes! It’s not bad.”
“Thank you. I will use it well.”
“What? It’s nothing special.”
〈Joined Lien’s party.〉
After a while, when I accepted her request, this message came to mind.
“By any chance, does Ms. Li Yan also see the message in front of her eyes?”
“Ah, yes. Are you talking about the system?”
Indeed.
It seems that not only me but also the residents here can utilize the same system.
“By any chance, what is your level?”
“Oh, that’s right! I forgot to ask that. I’m level 5. What about the team leader?”
Is it only 5?
No, it might actually be better.
Rather than suddenly meeting someone dozens of levels higher and being nervous about trying to kill me at any moment, this way I feel safe, and it will be easier to run away when the time comes.
“I just turned 3. Compared to Mr. Li Yan, I still have a long way to go.”
“Oh my. What do you mean? You are a stranger.”
“Hmm? Is there something different between strangers and the residents here?”
“Of course. Strangers have a special ability that only strangers can use. It’s called a paranormal ability… Have you chosen it yet?”
“Yes? Oh, that’s…”
I quickly shook my head.
It appears that paranormal abilities can only be chosen by strangers… That is, those who have crossed the gate. What that means is that the residents here don’t have this.
‘If I want to use my power here, I have to find a Heavenly Awakening…’
If you have to synchronize with the residents and use paranormal abilities, the efficiency will be greatly reduced.
However, after being disappointed for a moment, I thought about the answer I would give to Li Yan.
‘You never know when you’ll meet an awakened person here, so in the end, you have to attack this woman first.’
If you lied to Li Yan that you didn’t choose her paranormal ability, you could get in trouble later.
But it’s a bit unfair to tell it all.
In order to win favor here, I have to appeal that the ability I chose is useful.
However, to reveal everything, we have only just met, and we cannot blindly trust someone just because she is pretty and has a good body.
“You have selected.”
“Oh! Can I ask what it is?”
“Um… It’s hard to explain… I’ll just show you.”
“Right now?”
I took a stance in front of her as she looked.
“You are watching me carefully.”
And immediately activates space leap.
In an instant, he moved behind Li Yan.
“… Huh?”
When my image disappeared, she shook her head from side to side in confusion.
A natural gesture to find out where I am.
I gently placed my hand on her shoulder.
“Wow!”
Li Yan was surprised and quickly turned her head.
“Uh, what did you do?”
“How do you do it… This is my paranormal ability.
“Huh? This?”
I nodded her head slowly.
“Yes. It is an ability to move behind the opponent. It may be difficult if the distance is far, but this will be a great help in hunting monsters.”
“Wow! That’s true! I really didn’t notice at all.”
It was a bit embarrassing to make such a fuss, but since I appealed to this level, I guess I felt my usefulness.
“But I can’t abuse it. As you know, I have a lot of mental power.”
“Of course. I know that. Still, it’s an incredible ability.”
“Thank you for saying that.”
I watched Li Yan for a while as she continued to praise me with her happy face.
‘This is so… A woman with a different charm than the ladies in our company.’
Anyway, this makes one thing clear.
The reason why Li Yan wanted to throw an elaborate party with someone she had never met in her life.
‘I guess it was ultimately because of paranormal abilities.’
Well, it doesn’t really matter.
No matter what her purpose is, I just put my own purpose first.
* * *
“I’m going to the village today, and the hunting starts tomorrow.”
“I think that’s good too.”
I asked Li Yan many questions.
And without showing any signs of annoyance, she taught me a lot from what she knew.
First of all, this world seems to be inside the tower as I expected.
According to Li Yan’s explanation, there are several other places on the lowest floor besides this one.
And it is said that all residents living here have a common dream: to leave this floor and move up the hierarchy to the next floor.
‘Go on an adventure…’
The method of moving through layers was surprisingly simple.
All you have to do is register in the adventurer’s guild that exists in each village, and then work your way up through the ranks starting from F to A and become one of the top five A players.
Since the tier movement ticket is only paid out once every 15 days, you must raise your rank in advance at least one day before the payout date.
“Examination? There is no such thing. It is automatically marked on the certification card issued when you become an adventurer.”
“Automatically?”
“Yes. The more you hunt stronger monsters, the more points you automatically accumulate, and your ranking is automatically determined based on those points.”
It seemed that the ranking was automatically determined by this ‘system’ without any separate screening.
‘Are all towers always like this?’
If I had known this would happen, I would have called in people who became transcendents in the early days and listened to their stories, but it is a pity.
“When you form a party, all the points of all party members are added up, so usually one party takes 1st to 5th place. Therefore, everyone in that party gets the right to move up the hierarchy.”
“Then it’s very important who you party with.”
“Yes. So people like me…”
“Hmm?”
“Oh, no. Ah! I can see it in front of me now. That is the village where I live, Ganarin.”
While talking about various things with Li Yan.
Before we knew it, a fairly large village began to appear in front of us, with an outer wall built by cutting down thick and long trees.
“It’s surprisingly big.”
“Of course. Including strangers, there are at least thousands of people living in that village.”
Before I knew it, darkness was swallowing up the glowing red sunset sky.
‘Phew… I can finally get some rest now.’
Perhaps because he lost his authority and almost returned to being an ordinary person.
I don’t know if it’s the aftermath of death, the first time I’ve ever experienced it, but my whole body feels numb.
“Hey, come this way.”
“Yes?”
But what is this?
Leaving the front door open, Li Yan suddenly dragged me towards a corner of her outer wall.
“Now come in here!”
There was a so-called dog hole there that could barely fit one person through.
‘… What is this woman?’
