Only I Have Two Towers Episode 236

Runner Effect

[The unique floor ‘The Final Siege of Saintla’ has been cleared, bringing changes to the 71st-80th floor section of the Tower of Despair!]

# Changes will only be applied to the Tower of Despair belonging to ‘South Korea’ where the unique floor was generated.

It wasn’t a particularly long message.

But it was enough to cause ripples.

All Towers of Despair belonging to each country have perfectly identical structures and systems.

Thanks to this, it was possible to establish.

Countries that have cleared higher floors possess more information and stronger players.

Therefore, they have stronger national power. This was the established premise.

But just moments ago, that premise developed a crack.

“This is going to cause another uproar.”

Jin Yun-ho clicked his tongue.

Yun Mi-ri also let out a deep sigh and leaned back in her chair.

“They were children with perfectly identical height, weight, appearance, personality, and background. But one of them went on a diet.”

Some countries might say.

It’s just the 71st floor section, why make such a fuss about it.

But even those who say that would know.

The important thing isn’t whether the weight dropped a little right now, but the arrival of the possibility that things could continue to change in the future.

Ring ring ring ring.

Jin Yun-ho frowned at his phone ringing ominously.

Less than a minute had passed since he finished speaking.

It seemed to have already begun.

“Miss Se-yeon. It looks like dinner tonight will be difficult.”

“Of course. You have my sympathy for all the hard work.”

“It’s nothing compared to this. I got to eat amazing meat thanks to Jinhyeok, so I should work hard. Well then.”

Just as he finished greeting and was about to get up.

Ding!

An ominous alarm rang out for some reason.

[Mortarion, the necromancer of the century, was an entity scheduled to appear on the 1??th floor of the Tower of Despair!]

[Mortarion’s existence has been erased from the Tower of Despair belonging to South Korea!]

[In that tower, an entity with greatly reduced difficulty will replace the 1??th floor!]

“…Wow.”

Cheon Se-yeon exclaimed in amazement.

Jin Yun-ho and Yun Mi-ri opened their mouths.

It wasn’t simply that the comparison standard had changed.

With the question marks replacing the numbers, it was impossible to know exactly which floor it was.

But one thing was certain.

The clearing difficulty of a floor that would have posed a huge threat to the nation had drastically decreased.

At the same time, the possibility of the necromancer of the century being summoned to South Korean territory through transfer was completely eliminated.

Cheon Se-yeon looked up at the frozen Jin Yun-ho.

“Fighting.”

Jin Yun-ho left the control room with his eyes tightly shut.

Yun Mi-ri and Cheon Se-yeon, who faced each other, let out playful laughter.

“Shall we take a look at the Tower Site during this break?”

“Oh right. I completely forgot about that.”

Cheon Se-yeon pulled her chair over next to Yun Mi-ri.

Sure enough, the Tower Site was in chaos.

# Guys. I just went to check out the 71st floor and something’s weird. Holy knights I’ve never seen before helped me clear it. They even lent me holy power weapons. So I came down after clearing without collecting any holy power items. Going to try the 72nd floor tomorrow!

@ Yeah right, stop lying. I went there 4 hours ago. Nothing changed.

Nah, is the person who commented from another country? The unique layer just got cleared, so it probably hadn’t changed back then.

No no no, next delusional patient.

No no no no, not lying. I just went to the 75th floor too and some holy paladins and priests from the Saint Holy Nation helped me clear it. Last time I came I almost died but today I cleared it with my feet.

No no no no no, that’s bullshit. I spent all my money yesterday buying a holy weapon for 100 million? Don’t give me crap.

No no no no no no, you’re the next runner who couldn’t trust and just rage quit first, you black cow soft cow black crane.

“As always, it’s chaotic.”

“Right. It seems especially bad today.”

The truth battle only lasted until the post they had just clicked on.

After that, new experience stories and verification videos from NewTubers sprang up like mushrooms after rain.

# This is the black crane who bought holy equipment for 100 million earlier. How do I do overseas trading?

@ Damn lol

@ Yeah, depreciation. It’s 10 million won now lol.

“Ugh. That’s got to hurt.”

Yun Mi-ri shook her head.

Fortunately there was still demand overseas, but considering the fees, the loss would be quite substantial.

# Real-time status of each country’s sites getting wrecked by Korean players.

@ Don’t you guys have a Runner?

@ The necromancer of the century is scheduled to descend to your country. Get ready.

@ Where the hell did that asshole Zhaihao37 go, who was bitching in the Saint-Ra final siege video saying “what kind of elite units does a small nation have, they’re 100% fucked” lol I’m curious about his reaction.

ㄴ That bastard bought a sacred weapon at an insanely high price two days ago to clear the 79th floor lol. If this were Korea, he wouldn’t have needed to buy it, right?

“Oh oh!”

Cheon Se-yeon pointed at the monitor.

“ZaiHao37! This guy left tons of hate comments on the Saintla siege post!”

“Looks like he got served justice. He’s probably trembling with rage right now.”

Cheon Se-yeon patted her chest.

It felt as refreshing as drinking a bottle of cider.

“Phew. The reliable Runner cider.”

“Puhup. That’s funny. Runner cider. Huh? It’s a bit different but something like this was posted.”

# We are living in the age of the Great Runner.

## Therefore, I declare. All these effects caused by the Runner shall henceforth be called the ‘Runner Effect.’

## Anyone who objects gets slapped.

@ Runner effect this bullshit lol

@ But it sounds kind of plausible?

“Oho. Runner Effect, Runner Effect.”

Cheon Se-yeon repeated it a couple times and smiled.

“It has a nice ring to it? It really sticks to your tongue.”

“Right. It’ll be used everywhere soon. There’s even an article from foreign media.”

They giggled while looking at the monitor for a while.

“But you know.”

Yun Mi-ri, who had been tilting her head, continued.

“Earlier the system said that Mortarion, the necromancer of the century, was originally an entity from somewhere in the 100s floors.”

“Right.”

“The Runner basically skipped ahead and killed him.”

“That’s right.”

“Many countries keep their clears classified so we can’t say 100 percent, but if by any chance no country has ever encountered Mortarion until now… doesn’t this mean the Runner is the strongest in the world?”

“Huh?”

Yun Mi-ri and Cheon Se-yeon looked at each other with faces beyond surprise, almost horrified.

Though they didn’t say it out loud, both were repeatedly mouthing the same word with their eyes.

Jackpoooooot!!!

Solarium, the capital city of the Holy Nation of Saintla.

“Achoo!”

Jinhyeok rubbed his nose after sneezing.

Is someone talking bad about me?

I’m sneezing, my ears are itchy, it’s a complete mess.

“This is a total disaster!”

Teacher Daemomo came staggering over.

Her appearance was in stark contrast to the people cheering for the great victory.

Thud!

Mohwang collapsed miserably and shook his head back and forth.

Then.

“All that rotten gold, what am I supposed to do with iiiiit!!!”

He shouted angrily at the ground.

I swallowed dryly.

Since Momo loves expensive things more than anyone, the shock must have been great.

He looked ready to fight the ground, so I quickly ran over and gave him a piggyback ride.

“It’s okay, Momo. Let’s go out and earn more.”

“So sad! I was going to melt the remaining gold and make a gold necklace this big!”

I looked up at Momo.

When did he come up with such an ambitious plan?

And besides, Odongtong Momo can’t even wear something that big!

“Hmm!”

Momo, who had been thinking deeply, nodded his head.

He seemed to have reached some conclusion.

“Master, master.”

“Yeah?”

Momo glanced around and whispered in my ear.

“Wouldn’t there be lots of treasure in the Royal Castle?! Everyone seems busy celebrating right now!”

Cold sweat ran down my back.

Having lost such an enormous amount of gold in one go, he had turned to the dark side.

Almost at Black Momo level.

But thinking about it, it is a bit tempting.

Even if I can’t take everything in good conscience, wouldn’t they give me one or two things?

“Let’s not steal, but ask if we can take something we like.”

“That’s great!”

A bright smile bloomed on Momo’s face.

It seems he’s okay as long as he can take something home.

“We shouldn’t be too greedy. We already took all the divine weapons.”

“Mmm! Momo forgot all about what he took before!”

Although we invested a lot of gold, the financial benefits we gained from Saintland are actually enormous.

I sneakily opened my inventory.

Renia, Dark, and Seira had returned their weapons, saying they wouldn’t need them anymore.

Plus my sword.

Each one was an excellent divine weapon that would be hard to find anywhere else.

‘These alone would sell for an insane amount.’

The chains and shin guards are a bit ambiguous, but if they don’t sell, I can melt them down and make other weapons.

“Let’s take Kancheo’s gun too! That can sell for sooooo much money!”

It would probably sell much faster than the sword.

Any class could use it as long as they know how to shoot.

Perhaps thinking alike.

Jinhyeok and Momo’s eyes focused on Kancheo, who was cleaning his gun.

“Huh?!”

Startled, Kancheo slowly turned his head.

‘What the heck…! This chilling aura!’

As a Yodel Ranger skilled in detecting presence, he could confidently say.

This was scarier than when the skull dragons swarmed.

Instinctively sensing danger, Kancheo hurriedly gathered his assault rifle.

“Grrrrrr!!”

But the machine gun was too much.

He strained until he was about to poop, but it wouldn’t budge.

At that moment, a shadow crept up from behind.

Gulp!

They had arrived.

“Kancheo. I told you. I’ll carry the machine gun for you.”

“Right! Master said so! Kancheo, don’t strain yourself or you’ll poop!”

Jinhyeok smiled and reached for the machine gun.

Slap!

Kancheo’s fluffy hand landed on top of his.

“Stop right there.”

Kancheo looked at Jinhyeok with sharp eyes.

“Rock-paper-scissors!”

Jinhyeok also swallowed dryly.

Rock-paper-scissors. His brain froze at the sudden trick question.

While Jinhyeok was focused on Kancheo, Momo slowly crept down toward the gun.

“Don’t touch the gun, Momo! Your little hands will fly off!”

Momo, who had been watching Kancheo and me, squeezed his eyes shut.

From his expression, he seemed to have made a decision to save the nation.

Opening his eyes, Momo looked at me and gave a thumbs up.

His expression was incredibly determined, as if leaving everything to me.

And exactly 5 seconds later.

“Hiyaaaaa!!”

“Kyuk!”

Momo’s dropkick cut through the air.

Once again, Kancheo rolled away helplessly.

Perhaps thinking this wasn’t enough.

Patter patter!

Momo quickly ran over and skillfully grabbed the pointy ears.

“Now’s the chance!!”

I couldn’t waste the opportunity Momo created.

“I’ll give it to you when you grow up and get married, Kancheo!”

I grabbed the machine gun while delivering Kim Min-ji’s classic line from when she used to take my New Year’s money as a kid.

Can I get my New Year’s money back?

I don’t know.

She hasn’t gotten married yet.

So will I not return this machine gun like the New Year’s money?

Of course not.

I’m planning to return it right away in a bit.

Our Yodel Ranger worked hard today, so he shouldn’t be sad.

But right now, let’s play along with Teacher Daemomo, who’s sad about losing all her gold.

I picked up speed, grabbing the gun as realistically as possible.

Dash!
