Newbie Life of a Former Ranker

[Boss Room]

[Shadow Spider Queen]

A spider the size of a house landed upside down.

The silhouette was supported by a blue glowing cobweb.

The sunken night and the eight eyes of the boss met.

At that moment, both the spider and the human moved simultaneously.

《Fire Spear》

Dojin cast magic.

Sseuseuk.

The spider chose to hide.

It uses a spider web attached like a tail to soar upward to hide itself.

He seemed to firmly believe that the darkness would cover him.

However, Dojin’s eyes clearly saw the figure of a guy crawling on a net made of spider webs that looked like a ceiling.

Not just one, but eight silhouettes.

‘This surprised me too. I thought it was a guy who ran away from the ceiling and kept recovering and coming back, but I didn’t expect it to be a boss that was divided into 8 parts from the beginning.’

At the moment when the Tower of Challenge first appeared, the user’s level must be below 80.

It wasn’t a level enough to penetrate the darkness and find hidden enemies.

That’s why no one knew that the boss ‘Shadow Spider Queen’ was a guy who was separated into 8 entities.

Not only in the first round of life before Do-jin returned, but also in the present life in the second round.

‘Thank you very much, Grand Duke.’

However, Do-jin had a “red night” that could no longer be fraudulent in overcoming darkness.

For the shadow spider queen, whose main tactics are stealth using a dark environment and deception using powder, she is a natural enemy.

‘Then let’s take a shot at the drool on my head.’

Dojin’s hand went up.

The completed flame spear was launched according to the owner’s order.

Perong.

One of the Shadow Spider’s fragments, which was waiting to launch an attack with strong faith in its strong ally of darkness, was hit squarely by the [Fire Spear].

The guy fell to the floor with an embarrassed cry.

No, the fall wasn’t enough, the powdery spider fell into a groggy state and struggled.

No matter how much a magician said that each shot was a powerful cannon job, it was close to impossible for the boss monster to fall into such a groggy with a single shot of magic.

‘This time the calculations were right.’

The reason I was able to do this was to figure out the characteristics and weaknesses of the boss monster.

It was thanks to Do-jin’s thorough calculations that mobilized all means and methods to stab that weakness the most painfully.

‘When words such as ‘stealth’ and ‘surprise’ are entered, HP is low and attack power is high.’

In other words, the HP of this boss monster is low compared to its level.

‘The fact that what was supposed to be one was split into eight subunits.’

It means that life force is also divided. Here again, the boss’s HP is divided.

‘And I came in alone.’

It’s solo mode… Oh, the blood is reduced again.

‘Though it disguised itself as having tough vitality and resilience through hit-and-run tactics in which several divisions took turns teasing the enemy.’

It’s a fake and a scam.

In reality, it was nothing more than a body of water with extremely low HP and defense stats compared to other boss monsters.

‘It’s worthwhile to do doping while living a terminally ill life.’

3 minutes of giving up everything and just going all-in on magic attack power.

The potion and scroll cost for one doping alone is millions of won.

The money spent to find the doping combination that secures the highest magic power within the limit of the body is several times that amount.

The number of times I flew while challenging him was many times over.

“… It was a painful expense.”

It’s all because of you, you spiderling. It’s not that I’m asking for money.

‘You just need to be still. I’ll take care of the debt myself.’

There is nothing to estimate the remaining time. Just shoot magic as long as you have breath and shoot again and that’s it.

Perong.

The powders squeezed through the panicked gap and Dojin’s magic hit the one who had fallen to the floor again.

The wriggling man convulsed with his whole body screaming in agony.

Even so, his torso was moving upwards.

‘Are you sure you haven’t heard yet? It looks like the rest of them intend to hide until the end.’

The one who couldn’t even breathe properly didn’t go upstairs.

Two of the remaining powders are working hard to pick up what has fallen to the floor.

“If you look at it, you’ll only be able to get a corpse.”

《Fire Spear》

blah blah

A spear of flame that flew through the darkness eventually pierced the spider’s chubby belly.

The body of the powder, which lost magic resistance due to death, began to burn with flames attached.

“Are you able to understand the situation now?”

Dojin grinned as he saw several pairs of hostile spider eyes gathering toward him.

They seem to have realized that pretending to be one is completely pointless since only one has appeared.

But it was too late.

“Would it be faster if I used up all my mana and collapsed? Or would it be faster for you to become charcoal?”

Aren’t you curious?

The moment a small whisper was scattered in the darkness.

Dojin’s magic circuit complained of overload.

The magic circuit screamed at the owner that it would burst if this happened, but Dojin ignored it.

Do-jin uses magic without thinking back.

The queen’s divisions ran madly toward Dojin, but none of them could approach Dojin.

Do-jin’s magic, which increased its power by risking his life, literally had the power of a lethal blow.

Key profit!

Perong!

Hey hey!

The same sound was repeated.

When the sound disappears and all that remains is darkness.

“… I will die.”

Do-jin, who was dying on his knees, made a sound of pain.

Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm

My stomach groaned from the wind that I had almost no mana left.

The limit was that consciousness was attached to the awakening effect that came along with doping.

The magic circuit was already ruptured and could not function at all.

In order to stabilize the mana and circuits that were messed up from overload, he habitually took out a cigarette and tried to bite it, but it was not taken out because the number of consumables was exceeded.

‘long time no see. I shot it until it was broken like this.’

It happened often in my past life.

Back then, if I used some magic, I would end up in this state.

“… Anyway, I’m glad it’s over.”

Do-jin was dying, but the bosses were all dead. all eight.

[You have cleared the 8th floor of the Tower of Challenge.]

[First clear of the top challenge floor!]

[The compensation settlement process begins.]

At the moment my consciousness was blurring, a system message popped up.

Seeing that, Dojin smiled faintly.

His body was reconciled with light and scattered.

After clearing the 8th floor, I was warped towards the entrance to the next floor.

* * *

“… Jina.”

Dojin, who had been absent-minded for a while, came to his senses when he heard the sound calling him.

“… uh?”

Then, the face of Cheon Ji-hyun, the manager who was looking at him with worry, came into his eyes.

“… it’s okay? You look very tired. Unbeknownst to you, I am blankly.”

“tired… One thing is right. It’s not because I’m tired. I have something to think about.”

Do-jin, who gave a rough answer, started eating the salad he was eating.

And then ask

“But what did you just say?”

“Are you really okay? If you can’t hear a single word I said… It’s not like narcolepsy, is it?”

“Because it isn’t.”

Dojin smiled and shook his head.

Cheon Ji-hyeon glared at me with doubtful eyes, then sighed and said.

“This video is amazing.”

“views?”

“all. It’s just great.”

Unlike Cheon Ji-hyeon, who talked excitedly, Do-jin nodded as if it were natural, and pricked a cherry tomato and put it in his mouth.

“… Do you think you take it for granted?”

“Well, I woke up in first place while everyone was struggling.”

It was only natural that the response was enthusiastic as the leading attacking teams, including the Spear Guild, which was dominated by American nationals, broke it by themselves while they were heading with excitement on the 8th floor.

“What does the company say?”

When Do-jin asked, Cheon Ji-hyeon answered as if he had been waiting.

“No fuss. Aren’t riots normal riots? The company has been turned upside down. Whether it’s a broadcasting station or anywhere else, there’s a fuss about putting you out. Besides, it seems like the game guild is just sending something?”

“But are you quiet?”

“Everything is directed by the manager, well. The head of the department instructed me to never interfere with you playing the game.”

I see Do-jin, who nodded indifferently, was still mechanically chewing the salad.

Chun Ji-hyun said with a worried face, looking as if he had lost his soul.

“… Dojin-ah, games are good, but no, work is important, but health is really the most important thing? You look really bad right now. I think it would be best to take a few days off. You woke up this time, that’s why you’re number one right now. Then can’t we get some rest?”

“It’s not because I’m really sick or tired. I just have something to think about, so you don’t have to worry.”

Yes, I have something to think about. The reward on the 8th floor was a bit strangely twisted.

Singing to himself, Dojin recalled the message he had seen.

[I got a chance to upgrade the reward as a reward for clearing the challenge floor for the first time.]

[When using the reward upgrade chance, the 8th floor clear reward is replaced with ‘9th floor clear reward upgrade’.]

The reward for the 8th floor, the starting point of the Top Challenge Floor, is an S-class item random box.

It was said in the spear, which was the first to clear the 8th floor before returning, and it is a fact that has been proven by numerous users who have cleared the 8th floor since receiving the same reward.

However, I hadn’t heard of the reward upgrade system given for first clearing the challenge floor.

Then there is only one answer. In the first round, the spear that cleared the 8th floor of the Tower of Challenge for the first time chose to receive the reward safely.

‘Since you went through so much trouble with the spiders on the 8th floor, you couldn’t be sure that you could break the 9th floor. Unlike me, it was a five-person party, so it would have been difficult to unify opinions.’

As a result, the choice turned out to be a very good choice.

Following Spear, many parties and users broke through the 8th floor, but no party or solo user broke the 9th floor.

‘What should I do?’

9th floor, can you break it?

there is information

There was no team that broke the 9th floor, because I’ve seen a lot of videos of them trying to capture.

Based on the information we have, we have also devised countermeasures.

‘Are you betting on the probability of breaking it and shifting the 8th floor reward to the 9th floor? Do you just safely get the 8th floor reward and challenge the 9th floor?’

Eating mechanically, the salad bowl was empty before I knew it.

Dojin, who touched the empty bowl with a fork, made a decision soon.

‘I can’t be curious. Let’s just scream and see.’

If you do it wrong, the S-class item will be blown away, but you can take it… that’s it

However, if you break the 9th floor while giving up the reward upgrade, you will have to move on without knowing what you could have received.

Then, secondly, I didn’t like that I didn’t know what I was missing.

“You can wake up.”

Do-jin wakes up muttering.

“… Dojin?”

Cheon Ji-hyun called him, but Do-jin was already entering the room where the capsule was installed.

“… I can’t call 119, should I even have a private ambulance on standby?”

Sincerely worried about Do-jin’s condition, Cheon Ji-hyun held onto her smartphone and pondered for a while.
