Chapter 3 – 003 – Tower Entry
-No, then how many people are dying?
-(Author) When I look at the fact that our neighborhood is dying so badly… It seems like it’s going to be a big problem nationwide. It’s much worse than when the coronavirus outbreak occurred.
-But why don’t people know this?
-(Author) It’s not something that can be prevented… It seems like they’re not reporting the number of deaths out of fear of causing more chaos in society? So they keep teaching me to play Easy Difficulty. Anyway, so many people are dying that there are not enough crematoriums.
‘Even if it looks random, I should avoid it.’
Thinking like this, I turned off the TV and computer and went to sleep.

〈 Please select the difficulty level of the Tower Trial. 〉
When he woke up from a trance and opened his eyes, he saw a transparent system window in front of him.
It was the ‘phrase of death’ that is talked about every day in the media these days.
‘… Ah, shibbalum. In the end, it happened to me too… Oh, that’s fucking bullshit. If I had known it would be like this, I would have ordered chicken yesterday…’
Because I didn’t work or look for a job, I fell behind on rent for my studio apartment and the only money I had left was 80,000 won,
I felt like the 80,000 won I had in my bank account was a waste.
Because I might die now.
‘… I heard that the survival rate on Easy difficulty is still around 30%… Fuck. I’ll take a look at yesterday’s strategy before going to bed. Fuck.’
As various strategies and clearing tips were posted on the Internet, the survival rate on Easy difficulty was rising exponentially.
Some people even created an environment similar to the ordeal inside the tower and filmed it to show how to survive.
But even so, what is still difficult is surviving the ordeal of the tower.
It is said that a martial arts expert kindly explains and shows in a video how to kill a wolf with his bare hands,
Not everyone can see it and follow it.
‘… Since I can already see this before my eyes, I am now wrong…’
When you start to see a transparent window in front of you, you have to make a selection.
They say this is not something that can be postponed or overlooked.
As if there were something mentally compelling,
People give up on life and ultimately choose difficulty.
I looked at the difficulty levels to choose one.
Easy,
Normal,
Hard,
Very Hard,
Hell.
Very Very Special Easy.
‘… Hmm? Very Berry Special, right? Was there a level of difficulty like this? I guess that means it’s very, very specially easy, right? Oh, let’s do that.’
I hastily selected the ‘Very Very Special Easy’ difficulty level as if I was afraid that someone would steal it.
Then, feeling fortunate, I rubbed my eyes in a half-asleep state and looked at the selection window again…
Easy,
Normal,
Hard,
Very Hard,
Hell.
Random.
‘… Huh?’
〈 You have selected Random trial difficulty. 〉
〈 Enter the tower. 〉
〈 Good luck. 〉
‘… Huh? … Eh? … What? ‘Fuck?’
I thought of a terrible hypothesis.
Maybe I was in a half-asleep state and saw something wrong?
Come to think of it, in an online post yesterday, someone said that they had selected the Hell difficulty level while intoxicated,
I heard he wrote a will saying he regretted it a lot and died during the ordeal on the first floor of Hell difficulty…
When I saw that, I clicked my tongue and said, “Tsk, tsk,” And then looked at another internet post… ,
That case was me…
“Mother… , Shibu…”
In an instant, the world goes dark,
I was in another world.

A space of emptiness where nothing can be seen or felt.
I was looking at another system window here.
〈 Difficulty of Trial: Random 〉
〈 Roll the Multidimensional Fate Dice to determine difficulty… Rolling Dice… 〉
〈 Difficulty confirmed. 〉
〈 The difficulty level has been set to Very Very Special Easy. 〉
〈 Number of cases: Only 1 person in all total multiple dimensions. 〉
〈 First come first served basis. End. 〉
‘… Did I see something wrong? As a result, it ended up being Very Berry Special Yeezy…’
〈 Please select the type of trial. 〉
A translucent system window shining brightly in an empty void-like space asks me to select the type of trial.
I was perplexed because I had never seen anything like this in any Internet strategy.
‘… Choose a type of trial? What do you mean? I’ve never heard of anything like this…’
〈 Provides examples for selection. 〉
〈 Shows all possible examples with the benefit of first choice. 〉

‘… Uh? This can’t be… ?’
There was a long list of all the games, novels, anime, movies, etc. That I had ever played or seen.
There were so many that it was difficult to see them all.
Have I ever seen so many works in my life? ?
However, some of the oral tales and legends are made up by rural elders or have been misrepresented… ?
‘… As long as there is a story, or some level of narrative, does it all appear in the list of examples? And I’m choosing one of these?’
Let’s look at this,
I remembered the survivors’ words that each and every floor of the tower’s trials was another dimension.
‘… So, am I going to be subjected to the type of ordeal I chose?’
I was worried because I thought I would have to choose carefully,
The system that was waiting for me seems to be a bit impatient.
〈 Please select the type of trial. 〉
“Ah, this shit. Just wait. I’m really thinking about it right now… I don’t even know how something becomes an ordeal… Fuck you mom… Will you take responsibility if I die?”
As I grumbled and tried to have Django time again,
The system window told me how the ordeal would proceed, perhaps to save me time worrying.
As if I had already known it myself… ,
It felt like knowledge was being injected into my head.
“… Oh, what is this? What the heck… ? Hey. Hey system. Can’t you use this ability to give me some knowledge about the civil service examination? The test is a bit difficult for me because I have borderline intellectual disability. Did you prepare for the 9th grade civil service exam without preparing for the college entrance exam for all three years of high school? And it’s already been two years since I graduated, and I haven’t even cleared half of the test range yet? Punishment: Even if your IQ is 10,000 points lower, you still get extra points because you are disabled. Hey, system? Hey. Yah. Hey? Fuck. Chewing…”
I felt like I knew how the trials I chose would turn out.
All I had to do was roughly fit each genre.
In the survival genre, you just have to survive, and in the genre about defeating evil, you just have to defeat evil.
“Maybe it’s because the random difficulty I chose was ‘Very Very Special Easy’, but they are all very easy.”
The difficulty levels of the trials were all very easy.
Some trials ended with a delicious bowl of soup.
I looked through the trials and found them so boring that it was boring.
“Then I just have to do what sucks…” ” ? Hmm…”
While I was thinking,
I chose one work.
It was a zombie apocalypse game that I was playing a lot these days.
〈 (Game) Project Zombie World – NPC Adult Mode & Daegu Map Mode 〉
“I’m going to do this. Hehe…”
If I had the ability to enter the game world, there was something I always wanted to do.
That’s it…
‘Rape and beat women in an apocalyptic world… !’
