Chapter 1659 – [End Content Is Too Difficult]

The other kids also had their own trials. If we take our time looking around, let’s start with Kether. As befits his specialty, Keter prepared for trials using the natural environment.

Create a small world and create various environments based on it. Perhaps because the simulation was running, I noticed a volcanic eruption in the miniature world, turning it into a mess.

[Surviving a natural disaster that could destroy humanity!!!!]

“In some ways, isn’t it more difficult than my ordeal?”

[It’s different. There is no malice or hostility in your trials, but there is no malice or hostility in natural disasters. It is simply an ordeal that tests one’s survival ability by surviving in an extremely harsh environment.]

It is a natural disaster on the level of destruction of humanity. If you don’t prepare sufficiently, you will die.

They say that because I’m a roadie, I can destroy a star from the front rather than a natural disaster, but I usually can’t. In the face of nature’s wrath, we cannot resist and just wait for it to pass.

If you’re testing your survival skills in such an extreme environment, you’ll have to be lucky. No matter how much I think about it, it’s an ordeal that I don’t think I’ll be able to overcome. 7

“But what kind of natural disaster should it be?”

[There are a few different types, and one of them will be tested randomly. Things like the Great Yellowstone Eruption, a super typhoon, a tsunami hundreds of meters high, and a major earthquake of magnitude 10 or greater.]

“It somehow reminds me of Yerosto’s hometown. That place was also destroyed by spirits born from something similar.”

[It doesn’t feel like it was taken from there.]

“Then what is the clear reward?”

[Opening soon!!!! That is… Little Garden of Eden sapling!!!!]

“What is that again?”

What Keter took out was a small sapling. It looks like an ordinary sapling of a tree, but judging by its great vitality, it seems to be something unusual.

But the Little Eden statue? Oh, if you plant it, can you create something similar to the Garden of Eden?

[That’s right. Although its scope is narrow and limited, it is a tree that creates a small Garden of Eden where any crop can grow well and there is no need to worry about food shortages. Detailed explanations and usage instructions will be posted on the game system here, so if you are curious, look for it later.]

“It’s not bad.”

It’s not something special or anything, but it’s a pretty coveted reward. Aren’t we benefiting greatly from the Garden of Eden?

Even though the range and effect are a little smaller than that, it has a lot of merit in itself. We just think of it as a front yard vegetable garden, but if we use it at the national or government level, how can we use it well?

Next to Kether was the ordeal created by Mary. When I asked Mary, the wizard, what she was making, I found out that she was making a dungeon.

“Oh, devil. Are you here?”

“Mary, what are you making?”

“I created a wizard’s workshop as a dungeon and prepared for the ordeal of conquering it. Honestly, I need to learn how to deal with real wizards.”

“What’s the difficulty level?”

“It’s not a Transcendent level wizard’s attack. He’s already a stronger wizard in his own attack, but if it’s a Transcendent level wizard’s attack, it would be difficult to attack unless you’re a top level Transcendent.”

“You controlled it well. Oh, you didn’t make an instant death trap, right?”

“Why do you sound like you’ve experienced something before?”

“Because I’ve often seen similar types. If you look at Lucian, he’s a wizard type.”

“Wisdom Road? No, that’s where the name comes from.”

Although strictly speaking, Lucian is also a wizard type. It is not a hybrid wizard of today with close combat abilities, but a traditional wizard type who is good at ranged and support classes.

Thanks to this, I also don’t want to fight in Akashic Records, its home base. It’s even more so because there’s a hidden boss who is said to be the absolute leader of knowledge.

Anyway, from what I could see, the magician’s workshop created by Mary had dozens of large and small magic traps spread throughout just one passage. Moreover, even after attacking such an attack and defense, the remaining final boss, the wizard, was armed with all kinds of artifacts and was a skilled person who used numerous spells.

It may not be incredibly difficult, but at least it is a dungeon that will take quite a bit of trouble to clear. Still, I think it was made well.

“What is the clear reward?”

“Custom-made artifacts. If you tell us your requirements after clearing, we will give you artifacts that can be used according to your requirements. Of course, we have adjusted it separately to prevent you from making too many.”

“I think if he has a brain, he will ask for an artifact that can make up for what he lacks.”

“I guess that’s true. Or you could take it for other purposes. Since it has a wide scope, it can be used in many ways.”

I’m worried that it may have been made half-heartedly compared to me, who thought Mary was a good trial and finished it in a hurry.

Should I also use my hands to look at the details? Since I have plenty of time, I can work on it little by little.

The remaining people were Eden, Korma, and Lulu. I was wondering which side to look at first, but Korma was getting closer to completion, so I decided to look there first.

“How’s it going?”

“Ah, Your Highness. Of course, it’s my first time working on it, but it’s surprisingly fun, so I’m working hard on it.”

“Korma, what kind of ordeal are you?”

“I am the ordeal of a dream.”

“It’s you.”

Korma, the Dream Giant… I think it would be natural and fitting if the trials she creates are the trials of dreams. However, even if it is a dream trial, it must have a direction, so I am curious about what kind of trial it is.

The miniatures made by Korma are like a hazy fog, so you can’t tell what they are because there is nothing that stands out.

“My ordeal makes you forget your existing memories at the point you enter and plunges you into a happy dream. If you realize it’s a dream and wake up thinking about waking up, it’s cleared. Otherwise, if you exceed the time limit, you’re eliminated.”

“… I think I experienced that with Nayuta?”

“It’s the same, but the direction is different. Nayuta, whose dream never bloomed, just makes people stagnate forever in a happy dream, but I make it an opportunity to move forward.”

“If it’s such a happy dream, won’t problems actually arise? What if you get drunk on a happy dream like a legal drug and only crave it?”

“I thought about that too. If it was a vivid dream, it would definitely be like that. But after you wake up, if it literally remains as blurry as a dream, and you forget about it, it will remain as a good memory rather than something you rely on.”

“It provides mental care as well as mental growth. That’s good.”

While the other kids’ ordeal was physical, Korma’s ordeal was mental. It is that easy and yet difficult.

A dream is just a dream. It may be the safest ordeal since you don’t have to worry about getting hurt, and you’ll just have a sweet dream, but in some ways, it’s the most difficult ordeal because you can only clear it by recognizing the dream and waking up.

“What is the clear reward?”

“I have something in mind, but I haven’t given it a name yet… Ah, let’s call it a good night’s sleep. I plan to give it in the form of a blessing rather than a material thing. I think I’ll probably call it a passive skill here…”

“Just hearing the name will tell you what the reward is.”

“Yes, I can fall asleep quickly anytime, anywhere, I don’t have nightmares, and even just one hour of sleep gives me the effect of getting eight hours of sound sleep. When I sleep, my recovery speed is faster.”

“It’s great as a supporter.”

Although there is a downside to sleeping, you must rest in the first place, and it is important to be able to achieve maximum efficiency in the minimum amount of time. Moreover, the ordeal itself is not dangerous, but rather good, so this level of reward is better.

The next thing I saw was Lulu. I was wondering what kind of ordeal Lulu had prepared for, but she turned out to be a better ordeal than expected. I thought it was based on eating bloody food, but that wasn’t the case.

“It was obvious that Eden would do that one, so I changed it to something else since it overlapped. Mine is an ordeal of introspection.”

“Resistance?”

“Poison, curse, elemental resistance… Wouldn’t it be nice to have something like that? You can learn it as a skill here, so if you don’t die, you can build up your resistance, so it’s a trial given to you to make up your mind and build up your resistance. It’ll be a bit painful, though.”

If you want to develop resistance to poison, start with mild poisons little by little. If you want to develop tolerance for anything else, you need to spend the same amount of time and patience to develop it.

Of course, there will be some level of resistance to the point where you can get to the top of the tower, but it won’t be full-scale. So, you need an opportunity to focus on each other and build up your tolerance.

“You did well. But I guess you adjusted the level of difficulty, right?”

“It may be difficult to clear it on the first try, but you will be able to clear it on the second or third try.”

“Then you can clear it. Well done.”

Lastly, Eden. What kind of ordeal did our Eden create?

Well, if you look at what Lulu said, it’s probably obvious that she’s probably related to eating. However, what is important is how it was made.

Eden was creating a small world with the help of other pet line kids. Although it is called a miniature, a lot of effort has been put into creating many different areas such as forests, seas, volcanoes, plateaus, etc.

“Eden, what are you making?”

“Me? It’s a difficult ordeal for me to pass!!!!”

“What is that again?”

Eden puts the miniature world he created up close in front of me and gives a detailed explanation.

First, in the world Eden created, the important thing was not the world itself, but the vegetation that grew there. Our Eden’s main challenge is to eat as much as he can, so this place is full of things made to eat various things.

“My trial is one that you must collect or hunt to eat and accumulate points to pass. The more delicious it is or the more you eat it with others, the more points you receive. So, if you take on the challenge alone, it is also a trial that takes a long time to pass.”

“Just that?”

“Instead, there are bonuses to stats, skills, and other things depending on what you eat. There is no clear reward itself, but what you get varies depending on what you do.”

“It’s pretty good. But if it’s hard to clear it alone, wouldn’t you be able to stay on the floor longer and get more rewards?”

“So, I set it up so that you can get more rewards if you come to the party.”

“It’s really a difficult ordeal to be alone.”

“It may be possible for a person with amazing talent to clear it alone, but on my floor, it would be necessary to have a party, share a meal with others, and build friendships, right? Even if nothing else, if you are aiming for a bigger reward, it will be necessary at least semi-forcibly.”

Human beings are a strong force for forming a society. The ordeal Eden created was simple, but in some ways it was also an ordeal that emphasized sociality.

Then, I think either my trial or Eden’s trial, which are the final trials that must be tackled alone, are meaningless, but mine is the final trial on the 100th floor, so there is no problem. If you develop social skills as a human being and move on to become a transcendent being and become a god, it can be seen as the right order and direction of growth.

In this way, the ordeal we each created was roughly completed. Although we need to work on the details, we decided to let T.M. Take care of that.

“Things like balance adjustment and floor placement have to be done separately. Of course, as I said before, the one made by Mr. Worst is fixed to the 100th floor, but among the ones made by others, there are some trials that would be better placed on the lower floors. Especially Bloodier… So, was it Lulu? If you do the trials to develop resistance early on, it will be helpful later, and the trials that Eden created are similar. Ah, Korma’s trials are similar, but they are difficult to clear without a certain level of mental maturity. It is planned to be placed in a certain area…”

“It’s too long, so reduce it.”

“Hoeeeee!!!!!”

“What floor is ours?”

“What Shion and Eve made are something that is hundreds of years old considering the technology used and the rewards for clearing them considering the scientific and technological capabilities of our civilization, so it would be an ordeal of over 80 floors at the very least. Even if you can use magic or martial arts, the technology isn’t that good yet. Because it’s not.”

“Isn’t that because it’s learned as a skill? And since there is a system, it may have a negative impact on technological development.”

“There’s nothing we can do about that, so we can only take time. It’s only been 20 years since the tower was built.”

When this ability and science meet, explosive development occurs. For example, Delta Castle, the most technologically advanced among dimensional civilizations, uses magical engineering that combines magic and science.

However, since there is a system here, the development is bound to be slow. We will develop technology to make it more comfortable if it is inconvenient, but since there is a system that does most of the work, there is no room for development.

However, it is impossible to eliminate the system. In 20 years, it will already be integrated into this society, and if it disappears, the backlash will be big.

“I’m done with my work, so let’s take a break. But there’s nothing worth seeing here, so I can’t really feel how much time has passed. I guess it’s been about a day?”

“Ah, in that case, the timescale on this floor has been manipulated separately since you entered the tower. Let alone a day, less than an hour has passed in outside time?”

“Wow!!!!! Free vacation!!!!!!”

Normally, dimensional travel may last longer than the planned period if you are lucky depending on the time difference between dimensions, but it was very nice to be able to relax here.

A day outside becomes a month here!!!! When there’s nothing going on, I’ll take a nap here!!!
