My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 76

Episode 76. To the Tower of the Wilderness

After coming out of the Gate, we immediately got back into the car.

We hadn’t entered the Gate to hunt monsters after all.

Having gotten into the car like that, we headed straight to Im Seung-hun’s house in Jang-won-dong.

“Grandmother. How is Choi Su-a?”

“She woke up earlier and then fell back asleep.”

As if Grandmother’s words were true, Choi Su-a was sleeping soundly in a completely different position from when we left.

Looking at Choi Su-a sleeping so peacefully, I asked Omen who was beside me.

“Since she woke up, she’s okay, right?”

-Although her mind is unstable now so she’ll sleep more often, the fact that she woke up is proof that she’s already passed the dangerous stage.

Letting out a sigh of relief at Omen’s words, I walked out of Choi Su-a’s room.

The living room I came out to.

What was greeting me was.

“Come here, little one.”

“…Yes.”

“Oh my, how cute.”

Jini, who was firmly caught and sitting on Grandmother’s lap.

Elpinire was giggling while watching Jini who didn’t know what to do, and Seong Yu-mi was sprawled out in front of Jeong Chan-woo, grumbling about something.

“I’m going to destroy Heo Hyeon-yun later.”

“Please do.”

“You help too.”

“I’ll help, so please don’t just talk but actually do something.”

“…No fun.”

Hmm.

That was a conversation I didn’t really need to hear.

Turning my head away from them, I looked toward the kitchen.

There was Im Seung-hun wearing a heart-patterned apron and pink rubber gloves, doing the dishes.

“…What are you doing?”

“Oh, this? Since everyone came all this way, I should at least feed you before you go.”

As if he was really cooking, all the burners on the gas stove were blazing with fire.

“It’ll be ready soon, so just wait a little.”

With those words, Im Seung-hun continued washing dishes while humming.

Then, I heard Grandmother’s voice in my ear.

“I saw the TV.”

“…”

“You rushed out and came back having done something big.”

Turning my head, I looked at Grandmother.

She was looking at me while mercilessly stroking the head of the struggling Jini.

“Kidnapping, rescue… You probably attacked the place that kidnapped that child called Choi Su-a and did terrible things to her.”

Unlike her smiling mouth, her eyes were sharp like a fierce bird of prey.

Although I hadn’t seen what was on TV, she seemed to have already figured out the entire reason we went out.

“I’m glad my grandson seems to have made good friends.”

Grandmother muttered that while looking out the window.

“Please continue to take good care of our Seung-hun. It’s awkward to say this, but he’s someone who grew up in the hands of old people from a young age and never had anyone he could call a friend.”

“…”

“We raised him without letting him lack anything, but he’s still a timid kid. He’s the one who ran away because he was afraid of being called Tae Sa-ja.”

Tap, tap.

Grandmother lightly patted Jini’s head with her hand as she held her, then turned her gaze to look at me.

“So, please continue to take care of him. I welcome it even if you work him like a slave.”

“Is it okay to work your grandson like a slave?”

“That kid lived without seeing hardship, so it’s fine to make him struggle a bit. He’s not someone who’d get hurt that easily anyway.”

I moved my lips to say something.

But before that, I first saw Im Seung-hun setting the table after finishing the meal preparation.

Can’t help it.

Rather than opening my mouth, I got up from my seat and decided to help Im Seung-hun set the table.

“Oh my. Tae Sa-ja. You have a good touch with food?”

“At least we don’t have to worry about hair coming out of the food.”

“I-It’s delicious!”

“Hmm. It’s a bit spicy but tasty.”

“…You cook well?”

“Grandmother couldn’t cook, so I’ve been making meals since I was young.”

“You little rascal?”

The food was much more delicious than expected.

* * *

After finishing the meal.

At the time when dusk was settling, I came out of Im Seung-hun’s house.

“Black Dragon. You’re leaving?”

“I have to go now.”

“Won’t be able to see you for a while once you leave?”

I silently nodded while putting on my shoes.

Seong Yu-mi looked at me like I was some curious object and muttered.

“It’s really strange. I don’t know where you go or what you do, but you always come back stronger each time.”

“There’s a place only I can go.”

“You don’t want to tell me, is that it?”

But it’s true.

I was purely stating only facts.

But if you don’t believe me, then I’m the one who feels wronged.

“Oh, right. Black Dragon, let me see your phone.”

“Why do you need my phone?”

“You don’t know mine and Chan-woo’s new numbers.”

“You have new numbers?”

“We need new numbers if we’re going to live with our old ones turned off.”

Seong Yu-mi pulled out a different phone from somewhere and waved it lightly.

When I immediately took out my phone and handed it over, Seong Yu-mi quickly saved two new numbers.

“Hmm…”

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.”

I felt this last time too, but she’s really a bright person.

Last time she saved it as ‘S-Rank Supreme Seong Yu-mi-nim-nim-nim’, and this time she saved it as ‘Pretty and Good Demon King-nim-nim-nim’.

‘Come to think of it, Seong Yu-mi is younger than me.’

I’m 26 years old now, and Seong Yu-mi is 24 as far as I know.

She awakened at 15 and became an S-Rank Hunter in just one year.

From then until now, Seong Yu-mi has been working as an Association-affiliated Hunter.

“Come to think of it, is it really okay?”

“What is?”

“Leaving the Association. You were there for almost 10 years. Both Hunter Seong Yu-mi and Hunter Jeong Chan-woo.”

When his name was called, Jeong Chan-woo, who had been standing quietly behind Seong Yu-mi, nodded.

“It doesn’t matter. I didn’t join the Association for its reputation.”

“Then why did you join?”

“I have no obligation to tell you that much.”

Jeong Chan-woo shut his mouth, as if he really wouldn’t tell us.

Amusingly, it wasn’t me who reacted to Jeong Chan-woo’s attitude.

“Right? Then why did you really come in?”

“….”

“Huh? Tell me. I’m your senior!”

“…Just live your whole life not knowing.”

Jeong Chan-woo looked at Seong Yu-mi with coldly hardened eyes, then turned his gaze to me.

“I’m counting on you.”

“Hunter Jeong Chan-woo’s trust is quite heavy.”

“What? So my trust is light then?”

“Compared to Hunter Jeong Chan-woo, it is a bit light.”

“I agree.”

I chuckled softly at Seong Yu-mi’s sharp glare as she stared at me with triangular eyes.

“Anyway, I’ll really get going now. I’ll contact you as soon as I return.”

“Alright. I’ll keep the Jewel Box safe, so don’t worry.”

“Of course.”

After bowing to the two of them, as well as to Grandmother and Im Seung-hun who were sitting there, I opened the front door and left the house.

There, Elpinire and Jini were standing under a streetlight, having come out first to wait.

“Master.”

“Master.”

Two pairs of eyes directed at me.

I nodded toward the two who were looking at me with different expressions and walked under the lit streetlight.

“Let’s go.”

To prepare.

* * *

The next day.

Waking up early in the morning, I lightly stretched my neck and looked into the air.

[Tower of the Wilderness]

[You can enter the Tower of the Wilderness, permitted only to you who have been acknowledged by the Tower of Illusion.]

[Time remaining until Tower of the Wilderness opens: 0 hours]

[The Tower of the Wilderness opens as of this moment.]

After sleeping one night, the tower had opened.

Shouldering the bag I had prepared before going to bed last night, I muttered quietly.

“Shall I go?”

Right now, I was alone in the house.

The two had already returned to the tower.

Elpinire had returned to the Tower of Recording, saying she needed to inform El Spier and Elsesto that she would be away for a while.

Jini had returned saying she needed to tell Omen, who would be alone in Darkness, various things.

‘She seemed really excited.’

Even though she was with Omen’s clone, she must have felt the empty space.

“Both of them asked me to call them when I enter the tower.”

After lightly stretching my neck, I looked at the black snake crawling toward me from far away with a “slither slither slither.”

“Are you ready?”

“Squeak!”

Cheo-ri nodded his head vigorously.

Around his mouth were plenty of unfinished magic stone crumbs.

“The magic power you ate yesterday is really okay, right?”

“Squeak squeak.”

“Good. Let’s go.”

“Squeak!”

After wiping the crumbs from his mouth, I placed Cheo-ri on my shoulder.

Then I calmly took a breath and strongly wished.

Right now, send me.

To the Tower of the Wilderness.

[Tower of the Wilderness]

Light rises from beneath my feet.

My body floats up.

My vision brightens.

The moment the light that had enveloped my body disappeared, I opened my eyes in the familiar pure white space.

* * *

The pure white space I always arrive at when first setting foot in a tower.

As expected, the same system as last time appeared before my eyes.

[Searching for a unique skill suitable for Han Mi-reo….]

[Search complete]

[The new unique skill will be unlocked upon clearing the ‘Tower of the Wilderness’]

Yeah, yeah.

It’ll be the same this time too.

Even if I clear it, another identical tower will probably appear.

I nodded roughly and waved my hand.

“Whatever, just show me the announcements quickly.”

[In the Tower of the Wilderness, like the Tower of Illusion, revival is impossible upon death, and you will feel hunger.]

[You cannot exit the Tower of the Wilderness.]

So the conditions are perfectly identical to the Tower of Illusion.

I understand perfectly.

Nodding, I raised the corners of my mouth.

“Got it, so send me to the 1st floor.”

[Understood]

[This concludes the announcements]

[Entering the 1st floor]

Whoooosh-

Light rises from beneath my feet.

When the light completely covered my body, I was.

“…Huh?”

Falling from the sky.

* * *

“Squeeeeeak!”

“Get in my pocket!”

“Squeak!”

After hastily stuffing Cheo-ri into my pocket, I decided to hide my panic and assess the situation first.

What kind of situation is this again?

Actually, thinking about it, I don’t really need to assess the situation.

If I look at the system, I’ll get the answer….

[1st Floor]

[Survive the Fall]

Are you fucking kidding me.

What is this supposed to be?

They make me start in mid-air out of nowhere, then tell me to survive on my own.

Gritting my teeth, I immediately looked around.

‘A ravine.’

This place is right in the middle of a split ravine.

Looking down, it’s quite high.

If I fall without any preparation, I’ll be flattened like a pancake.

[Black Dragon]

But it’s fine.

I have the Black Dragon’s fist.

Right before hitting the ground, I could punch toward the surface, or I could punch right now and fly toward the ravine wall – that might work.

Just as I was positioning myself to swing my fist.

“Ho. To think someone would come here.”

“…!?”

Suddenly, a voice reached my ears.

Eyes widening, I quickly turned my head toward where the voice came from.

There was a giant man, easily over 2 meters tall, his entire body covered in black armor, falling alongside me in parallel.

‘I didn’t notice him.’

Certainly, when I first started falling, this man wasn’t there.

But at some point, this man had suddenly appeared.

And in a very relaxed posture at that.

As if falling was familiar to him, the man fell in a leisurely posture and asked me.

“What’s your name?”

“…Han Mi-reo.”

“I’m called Kargon. Since this is fate, shall we have a chat?”

“Isn’t the current situation rather awkward for having a chat?”

Letting out a hollow laugh, I looked down.

My body was still falling toward the dark bottom whose end I couldn’t even see.

Now was the time to prepare for the fall, not to start chatting.

At my reaction, the man named Kargon spoke with a voice as if he just realized.

“Right. This is a dangerous situation.”

Nodding as if newly enlightened, the man suddenly grabbed my arm with his massive hand.

And then.

“Live, don’t die.”

He threw me up toward the sky.

My body instantly soared upward.

Flustered, I looked down helplessly as I flew.

There was Kargon, who had thrown me, falling while letting out a hearty laugh.

“Be careful!”

“Careful? Suddenly what-.”

Thud!

A massive impact engulfs my body.

Coughing roughly, I turned my head toward my aching back.

“…So he didn’t just throw me randomly?”

Behind my back, solid rock had positioned itself.

I thought he had just thrown me, but it wasn’t that – he had thrown me toward a small crevice in the ravine.

My back hurt, but thanks to that, I safely planted my feet on the ground and stuck my head out toward the bottom of the ravine.

“…He’s gone.”

When I stuck my head out, the man named Kargon had already vanished into the dark depths of the ravine.

I wonder what happened to him.

Just as I was about to have that thought.

[Survive the Fall]

[Achieved]

[Moving to the next floor]

A system message appeared before my eyes and my vision was dyed with light.

Before I could even open my mouth to say something, I felt a floating sensation.

“Damn. Here we go again.”

Transported to the middle of a vast plain, I muttered while frowning.

Originally, the Tower would forcibly move me to the next floor regardless of what I said.

I had completely forgotten because I’d gotten used to the unusual cases.

“That aside, this really is a wasteland.”

Looking around, there’s nothing.

All that enters my vision is withered, twisted earth and completely dried trees.

What am I supposed to do in this desolate place where not a single blade of grass grows?

[2nd Floor]

[Defeat the Orc]

[Not Achieved]

…?

“Orc?”

No, really?

I came here to raise my compatibility rate though?

I stared at the system with a dumbfounded expression.

Perhaps I won’t be able to raise my compatibility rate as expected in this Tower.
