Regression Is Too Much

81 – Regressor panicked (2)

The second floor was relatively easy to clear. That’s why I was able to come to the 1st floor often, and I visited often in reality.

However, clearing the third floor is the first time. The period of rolling in the arrow trap was extremely long, so it seemed to come out to reality after almost half a year in my experience.

“Whoa, ha… “

Certainly, breathing the acrid Seoul air after continuously breathing the damp cave air feels like my heart is breaking open.

The first thing I did after returning to my room I missed so much was.

Turrr.

It was a call to Choi Ji-won and Park Cheol-jin.

– After a beep, it connects to the voice gland…

“… Is it yet?”

I don’t think those two will fail to attack. Park Cheol-jin is a little ambiguous, but Choi Ji-won was capable of destroying even the 3rd to 5th floors.

After texting the two asking how they were doing, the next thing I did was browse the internet.

-3-1St floor clear review

-3Rd-3rd floor barely survived. Be asked

-I went to the 3rd and 2nd floors with a friend, but it seemed like we were going through different ordeals. But he still can’t reach me…

“… That’s interesting.”

As I looked around the article like that, I was able to notice a curious fact.

– How did you guys deal with the room where 5 stray dogs popped out at first?

-A wild dog? I’m a goblin?

-What difficulty level do you have?

-I’m 3-2?

– Huh? Is it me?

Even people who entered and exited the same level of difficulty experienced different trials.

Some goblins, some wild dogs, some orcs, some slimes.

According to the testimonies, the level of difficulty seemed roughly the same, but the details were different.

Perhaps the content of the ordeal changes depending on who enters it… And just guess.

“There is no talk of the red room.”

No matter how much I searched the internet, there was no story of a red door suddenly appearing in the last room.

“… I’ve seen enough of this… “

After scouring the Internet, including foreign websites. What I did next…

“… This, so what is it?”

It was to check the rewards obtained on the 3rd floor.

Shiiik.

First of all, I decided to open the box and check the contents.

“With potions… With a potion… What is empty? And… What is this?”

I took something out of the box that caught my eye.

“… Hmm.”

A bluish liquid in a thick glass bottle. Maybe because it’s blue, it reminds me of a mana potion.

But do mana potions mean anything to me? In the yard that can’t even handle mana anyway.

“… It sucks.”

As he licked his lips like that, the moment he tried to put the liquid back into the box.

– You can get a certain amount of EXP when you consume it.

– This is a unique item. (Copying is not possible.)

“… Uh?”

My eyes widened after reading the explanation indifferently.

You can get experience points? What if you drink this?

When I hurriedly checked the box, there were 9 more glass bottles with the same design.

“… Wait for a sec.”

Currently, when I look at my status window, it looks like this.

[Name: Junho Kim] [LV:21]

[Attribute]

– Regression [EX]

– Flash Beacon [S]

-The heart of the island [S]

– Curiosity [A]

– Awe [A]

– Hero [C]

-Swordsmanship [D]

“… Was swordsmanship originally D?”

Anyway, the LV over there is an achievement level, not a normal level.

Even if I catch a monster, the message ‘The level difference is too big’ pops up and I can’t get experience, and because of that, my growth is limited.

I want to be strong, but I can’t. Level nogada, one of the privileges of regressors, was blocked.

“But… !”

If it’s an elixir of experience.

If it’s an elixir of experience points that just gives you experience points in a fixed amount, without any price or anything… !

“… “

Gulp. Gulp.

Carefully, but boldly, I swallowed the entire bottle with gulps.

The taste was strange, like cider mixed with herbal medicine brewed with seals, but… I could endure it for my own growth.

After emptying a bottle like that, a message window finally pops up in front of my eyes.

[There is no level, experience is accumulated. The moment the level rises, the accumulated experience is applied collectively.]

“Ah.”

… Yeah, there’s no easy way to go.

**

I almost threw away a bottle of the Elixir of EXP, but I still had 9 bottles left. It would be nice to give this to someone, or it would be nice to exchange it for other items.

“… Now, this time… “

The next thing to check is the sword sheath the stone statue gave me.

Even if you look at the cooking and look at it, it’s just an ordinary sheath.

It was a reward from the tower in its own way, so it was very strong, but nothing more and nothing less.

Just in case, I created a sword using the functions of the first floor, and put the sword in the sheath, but… Nothing happened.

Seriously, did you let me use this as a weapon? No. There is something, but it would be fair to say that it was sealed or that I couldn’t use it.

“… Whoa.”

After that, I grabbed the sheath and wrestled with it for a long time, but there was no meaningful result.

After studying the sheath to the point of exhaustion.

In commemoration of returning to the first floor after a long absence, I created everything I wanted to eat, such as pizza, cola, chicken, pig’s feet, etc., And ate until my stomach burst. Since he hadn’t eaten anything in the cave, his appetite burst out all at once.

After satisfying my appetite, I lay down on the soft bed and fell asleep while watching TV programs.

It wasn’t a big deal, but I was happy.

And then I could feel it.

It was a lot harder than I thought.

**

A day has passed.

Choi Ji-won and Park Cheol-jin have not been contacted yet. Seeing that you haven’t contacted me even though it’s been a day… It seems that the gimmick itself on the 3rd and 4th floors is something that takes a lot of time.

Shall we wait for the two of us? But what about floors with gimmicks that diverge from each other, like this one? Or, what if it’s a floor that you have to go through alone?

At the extreme, what if it took more than a week for Choi Ji-won to come out? This time right now is fatal.

“Kang Chan and Kyung Joon said they were taking a break… “

Kang Chan said that he might not be able to enter the tower for a while due to circumstances.

Maybe that’s what he said, but I think he’s waiting to meet the cooldown or the condition of ‘fist’. He also has companions, but climbing the tower without a last bastion is suicide.

Ahn Gyeong-jun also said that he would feel inadequate and take time to train himself.

He said that he would aim to deal freely with Kang Shin. Just looking at the 3rd floor this time, Ahn Gyeong-jun relied heavily on Kang-chan’s murder for Kang-shin’s trigger. If he can arbitrarily activate the spiritual state, Kyung-Jun Ahn will become much stronger.

“… “

So…

Now what should I do?

Poison Hee. Kang Chan. Ahn Gyeong-jun.

I remember my days on the 3rd floor last time.

From noble mtl dot com

Cave. Monster wolf. Mirror labyrinth. Arrow trap. And golem. At last… Even Dok Soo-hee’s betrayal.

It was the first time I joined forces with someone other than Choi Ji-won.

It was the first time that so many regressions were made for one goal.

It was the first time I was betrayed by someone, and the first time I used regression to punish betrayal.

“… Will it be okay like this?”

If I enter the 4th floor, it means that the past will be confirmed. It means that the future cannot be changed again.

I asked myself. If I go to the next floor like this, will I regret it?

I think I will probably regret it. Because there might be a way to convince the poison beast well, so that he can enlighten the poison beast without losing his arm.

However, if I return, I think I will regret it more than that.

My feelings about Dok Soo-hee are complicated right now. Anger at the traitor, loathing at the lunatic, pity for her bizarre story, guilt for blowing off her arm in overexcitement.

I don’t know how I’ll act when I come back and meet Poison Hee who doesn’t know anything. And after that, I don’t know how my mind will change.

I worry over and over again.

Balance what you get when you don’t recur and what you can get when you recur. Isn’t it just a matter of going back and doing it again? The mental fatigue is too great to say.

“… “

If you’re tired… Shall we take a break? I naturally think of the various delivery foods I ate earlier and the warm and soft bed.

I also want to play games. I want to sleep as much as I can. It wouldn’t be bad to give me a reward for clearing the 3rd floor.

Besides, in the next month or so, the coins I bought in advance will run out. The social atmosphere is chaotic, but you can enjoy it as much as you want.

Enjoy as much as you like, return to the third floor again…

No, no. Humans have something called inertia, and it is twice as difficult to start running again the moment you stop.

It’s still tolerable. Also, if you think about it again, the punishment for Poison Hee was justified.

Above all, the relationship he has built up with Ahn Gyeong-jun and Kang Chan is strong. It’s not the perfect best situation, but it’s close to the best.

Kang Chan. Ahn Gyeong-jun. Jiwon Choi. Poison Hee. Above all, my mentality.

After wrapping my hair and worrying about stretching, I finally came to a conclusion.

Let’s go to the next floor.

“… Whoa.”

Taking a deep breath, I threw myself into the portal.

[Enter the 4th floor.]
