Awakening After Divorce

Part 9 K-Climbing Clothing

Heat, poisonous insects, stings.

What can prevent all three of these things at the same time? If the leather armor covers the neck, armpits, and face, poisonous insects and stings can be prevented.

However, weight and heat are a problem.

“Creativity is more important than I thought.”

I thought deeply.

Even while doing business, I kept thinking and worrying until I went to bed at night. Then something came to mind.

There is no need to cover it with armor.

It’s not like fighting a goblin with a sword.

In some ways, it doesn’t require much defense, such as heat, poisonous needles, and poisonous insects. It doesn’t have to be iron or thick leather.

‘Besides, my skills are still not enough to make it myself.’

It’s better to buy the finished product and upgrade it this time. And if you collect SP after entering the tower, then it would be better to make it yourself.

So, the things you saved.

[ K-Climbing Suit Set ]

“… … Do you want to be cursed at?”

This isn’t a good thing.

Korean mountaineering clothes are famous all over the world. There is a reason why our fathers and mothers pay high prices for mountaineering clothes.

– Sweat emission and absorption, ventilation, strong durability, protection from the chilly cold at night, and perfect defense against the invasion of poisonous insects!

This is what introduces this brand.

I came up with this because of the term ‘climbing’ the tower. Climbing a mountain or a tower is climbing.

Besides, it is not a normal mountaineering suit. An artifact, a [rare] level 2 to 3 mountaineering suit set worth 800 million.

『Mountain Hiking Boots [Rare-Earth] (Lv. 03)』

『Mountain Climbing Pants [Rare-Water] (Lv. 03)』

『Mountain T-shirt [Rare-Water] (Lv. 02)』

『Mountain Windshield [Rare-Wind] (Lv. 03)』

『Mountain Face Cover [Rare-Wind] (Lv. 02)』

『Mountain Sports Goggles [Rare-Cancer] (Lv. 02)』

『Mountain Climbing Gloves [Rare-Earth] (Lv. 02)』

Jihoo tried on one by one.

Overall, it is made up of olive and brown colors, and the fit is not bad.

“… … .”

It’s embarrassing.

It’s the kind of outfit that dozens of people go up the mountain, but it was so different here.

But is that a problem?

Safety is paramount.

‘Thanks to the materials used, the level was judged from 2 to 3, but since it was all-in on durability rather than magic, there were two options out of one. It’s also the lowest level.’

Well, since I bought the full set for 800 million, it must be natural.

‘I just need to raise the option to memorize.’

Still not enough.

The goblin stinger is level 3, and the heat and venom go from level 2 to 3. That means that all protective equipment must be level 3 to be safe.

“I’m going to work hard all weekend.”

It costs 100 million to 200 million won to reinforce the whole with expensive materials. Engraving the magic circuit and raising it one step at a time by modifying the settings… … .

‘It’s for SP. If I get the SP this time, my tem is also tem, but I need to strengthen myself a little.’

I suddenly remembered.

The face of my father who passed away 7 years ago.

If you climb the tower, you may be able to see the warm face you thought you would never see again.

It used to be in vain.

Something Jihoo with no talent could never accomplish. He was just an ordinary person, his physical abilities were poor, and his magic talent was mediocre.

Then, suddenly, his gaze returned.

Talent :

[Slightly delicate dexterity (D)]

[Slightly superior mental strength (C)]

[Insignificant but not bad magic talent (F)]

“It’s magic.”

I tried to erase the word [insignificant but].

– 100 SP is consumed.

– Do you want to save?

100, so not bad. It’s only about 150 right now, but it’s a [talent]. It makes no sense to be able to fix this.

[Not bad magic talent (E)]

If you erase one word, you get an E grade.

then.

[Magic Talent (D)]

– 300 SP is consumed.

– Do you want to save?

‘It doesn’t cost as much as I thought.’

Unexpected.

Maybe it’s because the setting level went up?

But if you think about it, it might be natural. Will there be a dramatic change from going from F grade to D grade?

‘I do not know. But it’s a waste of SP to do it right now just with the possibility.’

Especially magic talent. Just because your talent increases, your magic ability doesn’t rise dramatically, it just increases the possibility of it.

But this would be different.

[Slightly delicate dexterity (D)]

Then what if [a little bit] was removed here?

[Delicate dexterity (C)]

The difference between D and C.

I can’t know for sure either. Because I’ve never experienced it before. But 800 SP is enough.

A lot of calculations went through Jihoo’s head.

* * *

“What? Jihoo is climbing the tower~?”

“Yes, because it is.”

“Heeyeon-ah, there’s no way you didn’t stop it. why did you pass? It must be dried.”

Heeyeon scratched her head awkwardly.

Even if you die, you can’t say that it’s because of the dagger.

“I’m going to try to do something. Match the whole body with rare grade armor. They say they fill up the potion and even the scroll… … .”

“Where does he get the money for that?”

“So. I need to borrow some of my equipment.”

“… … Jeop, I understand why you came~ Uh-huh, I can’t help it. I’ll make it cheaper~ Bring Jihoo. You better come and choose for yourself!”

“lol. thank you.”

Miyeon’s aunt glared at Heeyeon, but then she laughed.

It’s not anyone else, it’s Jihoo and Heeyeon. That much help is enough.

‘I think I want to stop it.’

Kim Mi-yeon couldn’t do that because she knew all too well how Ji-hoo’s father died. It was even more surprising that I hadn’t been interested in climbing the top until now.

“I’ll put it on for credit. Tell them to take care of everything they need~ If they get hurt even a little, they’ll die from me! Got it?”

“sure! thank you!”

that was just the beginning

Rumors that Jihoo was entering the pagoda spread all over the street, and people trying to stop him and people trying to help him constantly came and went to the general store.

A few days after that, the scheduled entry date came.

“… … What are you.”

“why?”

“What kind of mountain climbing are you going to do?”

Lee Hee-yeon, who was waiting in front of the tower, frowned. It was because I saw Jihoo wearing a mountain climbing suit in olive and brown with a large backpack.

“As promised, these are all [Rare] grades. These sunglasses are level 3 and the windshield is level 4. These pants are also level 4 high, and next to this wand… … my secret weapon. In addition, 10 trauma potions, 10 health potions, 10 heat resistance potions, 10 detox potions, and 30 scrolls mainly for defense and secondary magic. How about it, this is enough.”

“It’s an expendable item, I’m begging for help.”

“Thank you very much for that. Our bus driver!”

Lee Hee-yeon looked at his mountaineering clothes with suspicious eyes. She knows the mountaineering clothes released by this brand.

Levels 2 to 3 in rarity.

“I know this too.”

“Fortified. It cost 200 million won only for the additional re-rolling.”

“… … hmm.”

She was suspicious, but nodded. Because she had seen him these days, she had no choice but to admit it.

“Still, wouldn’t it be easy to block poisonous needles and traps with that?”

“Anything will work. If it was perfect to that extent, I went in alone. is not it?”

She had no choice but to agree.

started climbing.

* * *

[Indomitable Tower].

It is a tower that constantly tests climbers.

Each floor tests the climber’s limits and pushes them to the border between life and death. And they give you a special reward every time you go up one floor.

top of this tower.

Nothing is known about what is called the end. It’s just vaguely rumored that there is an enormous reward.

Some people call that reward a [miracle].

[Lips].

Hunter. Or, whoever starts climbing the tower is called a climber who entered the tower. There are no eligibility restrictions.

If you are not strong, you will die.

‘and… … They say that those who died in the tower live as NPCs somewhere in the tower.’

But I haven’t even gotten to half of it yet.

From the 10th to the 17th floor, people who died occasionally are found, and all that has been witnessed is living as a member of this tower without any memory.

Was it reborn here, or was the soul captured here? No one knows if it’s that or it’s just a fictional character modeled after the dead.

There are sightings like that and rumors that a reward at the top of the tower can bring that person to life is all there is to it.

But most climbers hang themselves on the tower because of it.

And this is the first floor.

It is called ‘Lobby’.

When I look at it, it reminds me of ruined ruins. It was full of old marbles and broken statues, and the traps that killed countless people in the early days were already destroyed and scattered all over the place.

“are you okay?”

Lee Hee-yeon asked next to him.

One of the reasons she is obsessed with this tower is to see her brother. In the end, there is also a desire to save.

She asked Jihoo because she knew such a carefree mind.

but,

“… … .”

Jihoo was unconscious.

– Enter the [Indomitable Tower]!

– Start climbing.

– [Entering the Tower of Indomitability (Normal)]

– [Arriving at the lobby on the 1st floor of the tower (general)]

– [Climbing with a worthless body? (Normal)]

– [Climbing with insignificant magical power? (Normal)]

– [Creators Climb? Fearless (Normal)]

– 200 SP will be paid.

– Start surviving in the [Indomitable Tower].

– Survival time: 15 seconds

– SP is paid in proportion to survival time.

– It is confirmed that the 1st floor lobby has been attacked more than 95%.

– Adjusted to 50% of survival SP payment.

– Power level is absurdly low.

– Physical stats are absurdly low.

– The magic stat is absurdly low.

– Combat characteristics do not exist.

– Survival SP payment increased by 300%!

– The main quest of [Permission to Intervene in Settings]!

– A special connection between your [Setting Intervention Authority] and [Indomitable Tower] has been confirmed. You can find fragments of that characteristic.

‘Here was the answer.’

And I knew.

You should come to Tempal here.

“Is it Jihoo?”

“… … uh? uh.”

Jihoo was just restless.

However, she looked at his expression and said, patting his shoulder as if she understood his complex mind.

“are you okay. everything at first do i know In the beginning, I was afraid to enter the tower, so I cried all the time. however… … .”

“… … ?”

“I got used to it. I haven’t found even the slightest hint of my brother’s figure yet, but he’s gotten a lot stronger. You can too.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Jihoo couldn’t concentrate on her words.

Because I was calculating the incoming SP in proportion to my survival time.

‘Crazy. It’s about 1 every 40 seconds, but after a 50% drop, it’s probably a 300% increase.’

Calculated in 24 hours is 2,000.

As soon as you arrive at the lobby, you can see that the survival time is passing, and you can get SP just by staying here.

However, seeing that it is 50% because it is the first floor, you can get more SP by going up to the second floor. Also, you can get an achievement to go up to the second floor.

‘If you think about hunting and browsing the vegetation that is only on the second floor… … .’

The second floor is a must.

However, it wouldn’t be bad to stay here for a day or so, then go with one upgraded talent.

“Heeyeon-ah.”

“Are you okay now?”

“huh? uh, what By the way, can we stay in the lobby on the first floor for a day?”

“There is nothing particularly bad about it, but there is nothing to do here. There is a separate area with goblins, and safe roads are all made… … .”

Jihoo said with a smile.

“I’ll give you the same bus fare here as the second floor. I have something to do here.”

“… … ?”

His eyes were on the marble in the lobby, the damaged traps, the murals, the broken candlesticks, the broken shield fragments, and so on. At a glance, I could see things that could be money and SP.

And, as a lot of things were [viewed], the viewing level rose to 3.
