#Chapter 237.
After completing the conquest of Floor 115 and returning.
Jung Han-sung intended to rest for a while before attempting The Tower again.
Had it not been for the sudden request that arrived, that is.
“So you’re saying you want me to conquer The Tower in another country?”
“That’s correct. However, you’re under no obligation to accept. It’s merely a commission, after all. You’re free to refuse without any issues whatsoever.”
At Baek Jin-woo’s words, Jung Han-sung stroked his chin thoughtfully.
Though sudden, it wasn’t entirely unexpected either.
The matter had been mentioned in passing once before.
As the danger of Breaks grew increasingly severe, several nations had begun inviting Awakeners from other countries to undertake Tower conquests on their behalf.
The situation with the nation making this request was somewhat complicated.
Originally, the country possessed considerable wealth and had been hiring foreign Awakeners with money to conquer their Tower. But suddenly, those Awakeners began making outrageous demands and pushing their luck.
“So far they’ve managed by throwing money at the problem, but they’ve finally reached their limit, haven’t they?”
“Precisely. That’s why they’ve been seeking assistance from all directions. The problem is that the Awakener who had been managing that Tower was Japanese.”
Japan ranked among the nations with the strongest Awakener forces.
Though the Awakener dispatched to that country was technically there in a personal capacity, if another nation were to intervene and resolve the situation…
Japan would likely view it unfavorably.
Naturally, the requesting nation found itself in an unjust position, but there was little they could do about it.
“Hmm.”
Jung Han-sung pondered briefly before speaking.
“So the plan is for me to go to that country, climb The Tower from the 1st Floor again, conquer up to Floor 60, and then return?”
“Yes. And we believe you would be the most suitable candidate, as you could complete the conquest at an exceptionally rapid pace.”
Jung Han-sung nodded at Baek Jin-woo’s explanation.
Of course, the primary reason for extending such a proposal was undoubtedly financial gain.
Though small in size, the requesting nation possessed considerable wealth—an enormous amount, in fact. Additionally, there were various privileges and rights to be granted.
‘I’ve never felt a shortage of money.’
Yet the amount offered for this commission exceeded the total sum of all the money Jung Han-sung had earned climbing to Floor 115.
‘Floor 60 shouldn’t take very long.’
More importantly, Floor 60 posed no real burden for Jung Han-sung.
The only concern would be safety, but even that Baek Jin-woo had guaranteed.
“You needn’t worry about safety at all. An Underground Bunker will be prepared for you.”
The nation had promised to provide an underground nuclear bunker for the Tower conquest. Of course, deploying military forces throughout the surrounding area was included as standard.
In fact, the Association would never have sent Korea’s most vital Awakener force overseas without such assurances.
“I’ll give it some more thought.”
Though his inclination was nearly settled, Jung Han-sung decided to deliberate further before making his decision.
Baek Jin-woo accepted this cleanly and withdrew.
“Hmm.”
After Baek Jin-woo departed, Jung Han-sung continued his deliberation.
In any case, accepting this commission wouldn’t result in any significant loss for him.
While climbing a different Tower required starting from the 1st Floor, his progress on the floors he had previously conquered wouldn’t be reset upon his return.
More than anything, there was a point where my heart simply stirred with desire.
‘Overseas. I’ve never been there before.’
Until now, I had never once traveled abroad.
Yes, setting everything else aside, I simply wanted to take a plane for the first time and visit another country on this opportunity.
A sort of vacation, one might say.
Though I wondered if traveling to a nation in crisis and clearing The Tower up to around Floor 60 could truly be called a vacation.
For me, clearing from the 1st Floor to around Floor 60 was hardly different from a vacation at all.
“Alright.”
Feeling my heart lean decisively in one direction, I sprang to my feet. It seemed I should discuss this with Baek-seol and the others before making a final decision.
Whoosh!
My form vanished from Han-sung’s Home in an instant.
* * *
I had a lengthy conversation with Baek-seol, Maria, Cho Cheon-woong, and the others.
Though everyone expressed some concern, they all reacted positively once they heard the compensation.
“With that much money, you could arm the entire Territory and still have plenty left over, couldn’t you?”
“That’s true.”
As Cho Cheon-woong said, the compensation this time was truly substantial.
For someone at my current level, money that could inspire amazement was genuinely considerable.
Maria voiced her approval for a different reason.
“If you clear two different Towers beyond Floor 50, you receive a special reward.”
“Ah, I think I’ve heard about that.”
It was something Baek Jin-woo had mentioned in passing while explaining.
“Is that reward significant?”
“Quite substantial. They typically grant powerful equipment. You already possess several exceptional pieces, but there’s no harm in receiving more.”
There are rewards for clearing multiple Towers. From what I understand, not just two, but three, four, and rewards for clearing even more exist as well.
There are apparently those who have been changing their nationality and clearing various Floors with this in mind from before.
However, since that information itself isn’t widely known, it’s something only those aware of it understand.
“Very well. Then I’ll accept it. Since I can come and go from my Territory freely, there shouldn’t be any major issues.”
My Territory and Unique Space belong to me personally rather than to The Tower, so I could enter from any other Tower without difficulty.
Thus, I made my final decision.
The next day.
I called Baek Jin-woo as planned and informed him I would accept the commission.
Baek Jin-woo was delighted and recited the entire schedule. Then, exactly three days after accepting the commission.
“I never thought I’d ride a private jet in my lifetime.”
I was aboard a private aircraft.
Baek Jin-woo, seated across from me, smiled and spoke.
“A commercial flight would present certain security risks, after all.”
“I’m quite comfortable with this mode of travel.”
The only time I’d flown before was on a school field trip to Jeju Island.
Yet experiencing my first overseas journey not in business class or first class, but aboard a private jet, felt remarkably surreal.
It doesn’t feel real.
Though I was already receiving considerable treatment from the Association, I had rarely left Han-sung’s Home during that time, consumed as I was with conquering The Tower. It couldn’t be helped.
Baek Jin-woo mentioned a few additional matters, then told me to rest comfortably before pulling out his laptop.
At that, I leaned back against the seat and gazed out the window.
White clouds drifted past outside.
Come to think of it, flying through the sky wasn’t my first time.
I’d never boarded an airplane before, but I’d flown on countless other things within The Tower.
Now, I could even soar through the heavens myself with nothing but a cloak draped over my shoulders.
I felt an odd sense of wonder as my gaze remained fixed on the view beyond the window.
The airplane cut through the sky without incident and arrived at its destination precisely on schedule.
After disembarking at the Airport, rather than going through normal procedures, I was immediately escorted to the Underground Bunker.
The vehicle I rode in had a bulletproof rear compartment sealed on all sides, so all I could see was the cityscape glimpsed when the airplane first landed.
“We’ve arrived.”
Of course, since viewing the outside landscape from within the bunker was impossible, the only way I could tell I was in a Foreign Nation was by observing the appearances of the people around me.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Jung Han-sung.”
I exchanged greetings one by one with what could be called the high-ranking officials of that nation.
Fortunately, that time wasn’t particularly long.
I could sense they were being considerate of my condition as much as possible.
Thanks to that, I was able to exchange only brief pleasantries before heading straight to my quarters to rest.
Quite luxurious, isn’t it.
To be honest, when I first heard the word “bunker,” I imagined something terribly dreary.
But the room assigned to me was no worse than a decent hotel suite.
It was quite lavish and equipped with everything necessary, and when I opened the refrigerator, it was packed with snacks and alcoholic beverages.
The only way to tell this was actually a bunker was the absence of windows and the conspicuously large ventilation system installed on the walls.
Maybe I should visit The Tower once.
I looked around and had the thought.
They’d said I could start the conquest tomorrow, but I had no intention of dragging things out.
The sooner I finished, the sooner I could return.
I sat on the edge of the bed and stared into empty space.
The method for entering a Tower in another nation was simple.
Since I’d already completed my Awakening, all I needed to do was express my intent to enter The Tower, just as I normally did.
After being told I could enter The Tower whenever I wished, I immediately decided to test it.
[Entering a new Tower]
A message appeared before my eyes, and I felt the familiar sensation wash over my body.
The feeling of being pulled into somewhere. And a sharp vertigo.
[Objective: Eliminate 20 Goblins]
[Time Limit: 2 hours]
[Select your basic weapon]
More messages appeared in succession.
I let out a quiet laugh at the sight.
It was content that stirred up very nostalgic memories.
I didn’t need a weapon, but I deliberately chose a sword and picked it up.
The sword was nothing more than a basic weapon itself.
Yet somehow, it felt endearing.
“Kerrrgh!”
“Kyieeeek!”
Then the goblins appeared.
I shifted my gaze toward them, and slowly walked toward them while raising my sword.
Moments later.
[You have completed the objective of the 1st Floor]
[You receive a lowest-grade magic stone as a reward]
[You have completed the 1st Floor objective in record-breaking time!]
[You have overwhelmingly subjugated the enemies]
[You have achieved a clear rank of ‘SSS’]
[You receive a bundle of lowest-grade magic stones as an additional reward]
The clear message appeared in less than ten seconds.
I smiled at the sight and immediately headed to the next Floor
Shhwooooosh―!
[You have completed the objective of the 2nd Floor!]
Swing the sword. Clear message appears. Swing the sword again. Move to the next Floor.
[You have completed the objective of the 3rd Floor!]
[You have completed the objective of the 4th Floor…]
[5th Floor…]
[6th Floor…]
[…]
Clear messages continued to appear at nearly ten-second intervals.
Of course, the Awakeners of that nation could see that I was clearing The Tower at a terrifying pace.
Just as in Korea before, I was shattering all the records on every Floor.
They were amazed when I first cleared several Floors.
But once I surpassed the 10th Floor, they felt awe, and when I reached the 20th Floor in an instant, they felt an indescribable emotion beyond mere awe.
“Well, I suppose this warm-up is sufficient.”
Thus, in less than fifty minutes, I completed my conquest up to the 20th Floor and returned to the Underground Bunker.
That day, the news and internet of that nation were utterly turned upside down.
