Chapter 1 – 001 – Unidentifiable Towers Have Appeared All Over the World

One day, huge, unidentifiable towers appeared all over the world.

The world was in chaos.

Now, I was getting used to the existence of strange creatures and supernatural beings,

Humanity has faced an even greater ordeal.

The size of the tower was very large.

The thickness is larger than several times the size of Yeouido,

The height of the tower was 1000km, the limit of the atmosphere.

The tower could be seen from anywhere on earth.

Even from my house, I could see a huge tower that looked similar to the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

The number of confirmed towers around the world is approximately 80.

It is spread all over the world,

In Korea, one opened in Seoul.

One was created in Japan,

In China, there are 14.

North Korea has 0.

An older scholar appeared on TV and put forward a hypothesis that roughly 1 per 100 million people in each region.

The population of the Korean Peninsula combined is approximately 80 million,

I rounded it to 100 million, so it looks like there was one in Seoul…

‘Fuck you. I will say that too.

Anything you say about getting paid is either a rumor or a story that has already spread widely on the internet.’

In addition, TV showed the characteristics and commonalities of towers that appeared around the world.

1. The tower is clearly visible but cannot be touched.

2. The tower transmits all materials, waves, and light, and is naturally impervious to any demolition or attacks.

3. No shadow is created by the tower.

4. The tower is like seeing an illusion or a mirage.

5. So, the people can engage in their usual daily routine with peace of mind.

6. Those who engage in acts of national chaos and social subversion because of the tower will be severely punished.

Probably the last 5 and 6 are the key,

The content was mainly announced and preached on TV programs.

‘Engage in your usual occupation… ? Hmm… So, can I just continue playing the game I normally play? ?

Oh shit. I really want to fuck a female NPC in the zombie apocalypse game I just played…’

A few days passed like that,

People have also become accustomed to unidentified towers that suddenly appear.

Just standing there,

Just such a harmless being.

However, after a few days, the atmosphere changed.

It seemed like life was repeating itself as usual,

On the Internet, a hot topic gradually began to heat up the world.

-[ The story of entering the tower, clearing it, and leaving. ]

-What kind of bullshit is this?

-I see posts like this often today. Is this a new concept?

-You also came out alive. First of all, congratulations on surviving and becoming a superhuman. Easy difficulty?

-(Author) Yes. First of all, I chose Easy because I didn’t know anything. I survived because I chose Easy. I really feel like I’m falling behind…

-Well done. If you choose normal or hard, you just die. Even in normal mode, I hardly saw anyone alive.

-Isn’t the Easy difficulty level up to Superhuman? I just got a lot healthier.

-That ‘a lot’ is huge.

-The tower is made of mana and magic, and shows a high level of magic that is difficult to imagine. The moment most wizards try to dig into it, they will go crazy, as if they are looking at Cthultu. Isn’t what we can see an illusion of human perception?

-Why is this person suddenly saying something different?

-Have I gone crazy? The fact that he knows that is proof that he looked into magic techniques to find out about the tower.

-[ Wow… I spent 150 years in the tower. Not even a second has passed since I cleared the 50th floor and came out… ]

-I was also dumbfounded at first. I spent 10 years inside.

-But what have you been doing for 150 years…? What is your level of difficulty?

-(Author) I just had a hard time choosing anything. That’s in the middle of the difficulty options.

-Wow… How have you been living? You’re amazing… Your level is amazing… Brother. Thank you for your continued support…

-No, what are you all talking about?

-Is this really a popular concept these days?

-[ If a translucent window suddenly appears in front of you and asks you to select the Top Trial difficulty level, be sure to select Easy. Really listen to me. ]

-This is a really good tip.

-Great tips for survival in life

-ㄹㅇ Those who survived after seeing this should hit the writer of this article haha

-The country needs to quickly understand the situation and teach this to all citizens.

-It should be taught on a global basis at the UN, not at the national level.

-Is there an embargo yet? Shouldn’t the news come out soon?

-What’s wrong with young children? Even a 4-year-old baby was taken away.

-No… Really, what are you all talking about? Kidnapping people from the tower? Like a novel?

-ㅇㅇ So, just pick the Easy difficulty level. The moment you speak normally, 99% of people die.

-There are people who say they survived by choosing the hard difficulty level?

-That’s right. But now he is the only difficult difficulty survivor in Korea.

-Choose the Hell difficulty level. I like dogs haha

-You crazy bastard above. Do you want to joke around when people’s lives are at stake?

‘Top’ has become a hot topic again after being quiet for a while.

The story of ‘TOP’, which took over the Internet bulletin board again in one day, was endless.

However, the content was quite different from before.

‘They are kidnapping people from the tower by teleportation… ‘? If you don’t clear it, you die… ? Really… ?’

This is a bit unbelievable,

It wasn’t just one or two people doing it, it was confusing.

‘… There’s no word yet on the news, but aren’t these bastards making a fuss as a group?’

Although there was something about it that made me feel uncomfortable,

Because I believed that most of the Internet posts were nonsense,

I just played the zombie apocalypse game like usual.

Two days later.

Leaders around the world began to warn about the ‘Tower’ as if they had made a promise.

When I heard why it had been quiet for so long,

It is said that in order to prevent social chaos, information was controlled and leaders from around the world came together to find a solution.

So did you find a solution?

Mol?Ru

-Hey you idiots, you should have just told me sooner!

-Is there an answer just because you guys put your heads together?!

-They say you shouldn’t ask old people to become politicians. I can’t do it because my head is hard.

‘Fuck you moms. I should have just let you know sooner. You idiots.

What kind of bald old men are putting their heads together and worrying about something? I should have just told you sooner.’

I also sympathized with the best comments on internet articles.

In another article, Bethet was also criticized for making the announcement late because he was worried about the government’s approval rating.

This seemed to be roughly correct.

People have always told me that I am too swayed by public opinion,

This isn’t something I’m swayed by, I was thinking this too.

In our country, the president came out and personally issued a statement.

And the content was the same as the content that was popular on the Internet.

-“… (Strategy), my fellow citizens. Let me say it again: If you see a transparent window in front of you, always choose Easy difficulty. So, please select the Easy difficulty level. Currently, the world is in an unprecedented crisis… (Hulyag)”-

After the President’s National Statement,

All TV media in the country re-broadcast the content and continued to expand and reproduce the broadcast, almost brainwashing them.

The tower is kidnapping people.

I don’t know how.

It takes you there in a way that feels like a teleportation or warp from a fantasy novel.

And before that, you are asked to choose a difficulty level.

The official name is to choose the difficulty level of the tower climbing trial.

There are a total of 5 known levels of difficulty.

Easy,

Normal,

Hard,

Very Hard,

Hell.

As far as I can tell, the survival rate on Easy difficulty is less than 20%.

Normal difficulty? The survival rate is less than 1%.

Hard difficulty? Currently, there is only one survivor in Korea, and he is unique in the country.

There are a few hard difficulty survivors in the United States, Japan, China, etc., But they are few and far between worldwide.

Very Hard and Hell? There have been no survivors reported worldwide.

-“Fellow citizens, Lee Young-ha, the 8 o’clock news anchor, also just cleared the tower and came out… Please believe me and choose the Easy difficulty level. If you go to normal or hard, you die. I could barely survive even on Easy difficulty. … Ugh, huh… Sniff… I knew this before going in, so fortunately I was able to choose Easy. We are grateful to the government and officials for quickly disseminating this information… (Hulyag)”-

-“From what is currently known, it has been revealed that people who die in the tower experience a phenomenon where items used by the deceased appear in the tower along with the body of the deceased in their original real-world location, aka ‘drops’ ‘ .’Some say it is death compensation paid by the tower… There is a saying going around. Currently, due to this problem, criminal activities targeting the deceased’s belongings are rampant. Reporter Kim Jun-ho covered the facts in detail. Reporter Kim Jun-ho? … (Hulyag)”-

-“… (Strategy) Time does not pass at all in the tower. I think that’s what survivor Park Jin-cheol said right now. Seeing everyone who cleared the tower say this, it seems like time really doesn’t pass in the tower.”-

-“To date, we know almost nothing about the tower. After listening to the words of those who cleared it, common and consistent claims are solidifying into established theory. … (Hulyag)”-
