Chapter 534 – 534 – 13th Floor. The Gloria
〈 The 13th floor trial begins. 〉
〈 The trial on the 13th floor is ‘Helping the Avenger’s Revenge’. Perform an act of assistance to help the Avenger in his quest for vengeance. If you directly punish a villain, it will be considered a failure to assist, and you will have to help another avenger from the beginning again. 〉
〈 Purchase virtual memories and experiences from the 13th floor world view. 〉
〈 In the future, you will automatically purchase virtual memories and experiences as you climb new floors. If you wish to cancel, please tell the system. 〉
Virtual memories and experiences from the 13th floor worldview come into my head.
‘… The name is the same as Park Seung-ho.’
The names are the same. But the traces of life are different.
In this worldview, I was a victim of various injustices such as child abuse and school violence.
However, with the help of an unknown person, he succeeded in taking revenge. Life was also successful.
And right after I succeeded in getting revenge, I decided to become someone who helped someone get revenge like the unknown person who helped me.
‘Oh…, My background settings are a bit weird. ‘That’s cool.’
I looked around me.
The place I was in was the penthouse of an ultra-expensive apartment, with a great view of the Han River and the night view of downtown Seoul.
‘He is a self-made rich man who made a lot of money through coins and stocks, his occupation is a doctor, and he also has hacking skills…, Just a genius.’
He seems to have lived a slightly different life than me.
However, should I say that this guy lived a terrible life when he was young…
‘Well, that’s not important. I guess I should turn on the radar to find the avenger.’
I activated the radar skill to find the avenger, which can only be used on the stairs of the 13th floor of the tower.
Then, I felt that a huge number of people were being caught.
A dizzying number of people began to be caught, so I got cold and immediately turned off my radar skill.
‘Hmm…, There are so many. First, starting with the person closest to you…’
I went to find the closest avenger.
The person I visited was a resident of the same line of the ultra-expensive apartment where I lived.
– Ding dong! –
When I rang the doorbell, a woman’s delicate voice was heard over the intercom.
-“… “Who are you?”-
It’s an avenger.
I intuitively knew that this woman was an avenger.
“We are residents of the same line. If you’ll excuse me, I came here because I have something important to discuss. “Could you please open the door?”
-“…”-
Silence continues.
I guess it’s okay to open the door to a man you don’t know.
“I didn’t come for any suspicious purpose. “This apartment here has strong security from the entrance to the apartment complex, so no one can enter, and every house has CCTV in front of the entrance, so why would I do something strange?”
For some reason, it feels like the lens of the small camera right next to the doorbell is moving slightly.
You are probably looking at yourself through the monitor screen attached to the intercom.
-“…, … Yes. All right. “Please wait a moment.”-
I think I thought about whether to open the door based on my appearance and outward appearance, and then decided to open it.
‘I definitely like the good looks. I’ll bet you a million won that they wouldn’t have opened it if it had been ugly or scary-looking.’
After a while, the gate was slightly opened with the safety ring chain attached.
“Please talk here. What’s going on?”
She appears to be quite a pretty woman, but she has an ugly scar covering half of her face.
She feels as if her skin has been dissolved by hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, or something similar.
But for some reason, that scar…, According to my intuition, it may have been caused by bullying or abuse.
“You want revenge, right? “I will help you.”
– Boom! –
The door closed immediately.
At first glance, he seemed like a strange guy, so I just closed the door.
‘… Weird? Wasn’t it okay to say it like this? I think they approached it roughly this way in that drama…’
I was scratching my head and thinking, should I just use my powers to break through the door? I was thinking about finding another avenger…
After a while, the door opened again, ever so slightly.
“… “What are you?”
The gaze is clearly wary of me.
Somehow, it seemed that my approach was not wrong at all, so I raised both of her hands and made a gesture to show that she had no intention of being hostile, and then spoke to her.
“Someone who will fully assist you in your revenge. A person who will also take care of disposing of the body. The perfect helper to help you get revenge.”
“…”
“You want revenge, right? I am a person who visits and helps people who want revenge. “I have the ability to find people who want revenge.”
“… “Are you even a devil?”
“… Um, the devil… If you want to think that way, think that way.”
“…”
The woman was silent for a while…, Invited me into the house with creepy eyes.
For some reason, his eyes looked like he was determined to kill me if what I said was a lie.
‘I guess I looked like a risk factor that could get in the way of this woman’s revenge. If I have to, I plan on getting rid of it too.’
When I entered the house, the house was empty.
There was no other furniture.
There is no common TV or dining table, and although there is a refrigerator, it somehow feels empty inside.
And somehow it feels suspicious…, Some rooms locked with padlocks.
‘Have they prepared in advance to trap those seeking revenge?’
“… Now, as you requested, I invited you into the house. Then tell me now. How are you going to help me?”
The woman’s hands are hidden behind her.
Just by looking at it, there will be a weapon behind it.
It is likely to be something like a stun gun or self-defense spray.
If necessary, they plan to subdue me and, in some cases, eliminate me.
“I guess I should show you my abilities first.”
I put a small cactus pot, which was the only item that stood out in this empty house, into my subspace.
It was a small cactus in a small pot that could be held with one hand, and the woman was startled when the object suddenly disappeared.
“… Oh, how did you do that?! Magic? No, … Before that. “Quickly give the succulent back!!”
“Oops, I’m sorry. Was it a valuable item? Okay. “I didn’t know it was something so precious that it even had a name.”
The woman took care of the small cactus pot I gave her and then hid it from my eyes.
As if you don’t want to show your precious items to the devil.
A moment of silence passed between us.
I just waited.
Then, after a while, the woman who had calmed down spoke.
“I’m sorry for yelling. … “Because this is something very precious to me.”
“Are you okay. I think I put my hand on her without realizing it. “Then shall we continue talking about revenge?”
“… Good, good. … Um, so your abilities are…, What? I don’t know exactly. “Is this called magic?”
“Ah, I guess I didn’t notice because I put in something so small. Umm…, Is there anything suitable? Because the house is so empty. No, it would be better to just take things out of my subspace and put them back.”
I took out large objects from inside the subspace and put them back into the subspace.
And crucially, they took out the corpses that they had forgotten to remove from subspace and put them back…, The woman’s eyes changed.
“Did you see it? For now…, I can help you with this ability.”
“I heard you were helping me dispose of the body at the door earlier…, It wasn’t nonsense.”
“Of course.”
“Good. Keep in mind your abilities… I’ll put it to good use for my revenge. Thanks in advance for your help. “What is the price?”
It’s a look filled with trust.
I think trust in me rose sharply when I showed that I had a corpse.
If she gets revenge she will become a criminal…, Should I say it’s a look at an accomplice?
And she didn’t ask why I could use these abilities or how these abilities were possible.
I think asking someone like me such a question would be a waste of time and would lower her own value.
‘That’s wise.’
“Hmm…, It’s a price…”
Immediately after hearing the word ‘master’, I glanced at the woman in front of me.
If it weren’t for the ugly scars on her face, she definitely had the appearance of a beauty.
‘The breasts are quite big, and the lines are great. Are you okay except for the scar on your face? Should I treat you with a healing potion and eat it?’
“… It’s a very sinister look. It’s really blatant. … This is the first time I’ve been looked at like that since my face became like this. Is my body the purpose? Good. I am willing to sacrifice my body for revenge. But will you be okay? A country with such an ugly face?”
I thought for a moment and then came up with an answer.
The reason I was worried…, It wasn’t because her face was ugly or anything like that.
(You can treat the ugly wounds on your face. I have many ways to treat them.)
She was going to invite her family to this staircase, as she was trying to figure out if it would be okay to hug her.
