Episode 51
51
“Let me go! Where exactly are you taking me!!”
“Just hold on. I’m rescuing you.”
Sigh.
I couldn’t understand why she was thrashing so hard when I was saving her.
Well, this much struggling was easier than giving a puppy a bath, so I just ignored it.
The moment we passed through the fortress’s final door and reached the boundary line at the end of the corridor—
Pop!
A burst of white light.
System messages began cascading across my vision.
[You have cleared all trials on the third floor of the Hard Mode Dimensional Tower for the first time.]
[You have been confirmed as the highest contributor.]
[First clear reward for Hard Mode Dimensional Tower Floor 3 is being generated.]
[Accumulated bonus rewards are being generated.]
[Accumulated bonus rewards are being generated.]
[Accumulated bonus rewards are being generated.]
[You have obtained a Legendary Grade Reward.]
[You have obtained a Legendary Grade Reward.]
[You have obtained a Legendary Grade Reward.]
[Your level increases by 1.]
[Your level increases by 1.]
[Your level increases by 1.]
[Your level increases by 1.]
[Your level increases by 1.]
[Your level increases by 1.]
[Your level cannot rise any further.]
Phew.
The messages are pouring down like a waterfall.
Not even pulling ten consecutive times on a gacha would dump this many at once.
Necromantic Mana surged through my entire body, and a sensation of massive upgrade flooded in.
With six levels gained at once, it was only natural.
It was like the feeling of consuming a high-grade spirit elixir.
“So this time I get three Legendary Grade rewards? No Mythic Grade?”
Honestly, I’m a bit disappointed.
When I cleared the second floor in Hard Mode, I got two Mythic-Tier Rewards, but this time three Legendary ones.
How should I put it… Like ordering chicken and getting fried instead of sauced?
Not bad, but subtly different from what I expected—that kind of nuanced feeling.
Pop!
Just then, white light bloomed from the struggling hostage’s body.
It dispersed into luminous powder and vanished from my shoulder.
After struggling to get free until now, the Dimensional Tower whisked them away on its own.
Clean exit, like an automated package return.
Pop!
And then I too was engulfed in light.
White space.
I was standing at the entrance of the Dimensional Tower.
This barren white expanse felt more welcoming than any resort.
And checking the chat, viewers were still connected.
-X-bar, three Legendary Grade rewards? Insane!
-Yo, three Legendaries in one turn doesn’t even make sense?
-I’ve run Floor 3 Normal mode and never even seen one Legendary lolololol
-I’m dying of jealousy, no cap
-Wait, hitting level 30 in one go actually happened?
-Don’t know if I should upvote or downvote this lololol
The viewers were going wild over the three Legendary Grade rewards.
For ordinary people, even a single Legendary Grade reward would be national news, so three dropping at once was shocking enough.
As for me, I’d gotten Mythic Grade and Primordial Grade before, so I’d caught the disease of “my standards have gotten too high”—which is why I was disappointed.
The reactions to level 30 were pretty good too.
In fact, it was my first time leveling up this much at once, so I could clearly feel the difference in the amount of Necromantic Mana churning inside me—a whole different dimension than before.
At this rate, I could summon even more of the Donggang City legion, couldn’t I?
I was lost in that thought when—
[Cheok Cheok Seoksa has donated 1 DP!]
Wait, no betting this time?
Ah.
I’d forgotten.
I didn’t place any bets when I entered Hard Mode on this third floor.
Back when I was clashing with Crackcreng, that would’ve been the perfect moment to pull in some serious winnings.
Hand on heart, if I’d opened a betting pool, the payout ratios would’ve been insane.
Three bosses plus this fortress siege—a trial so absurd it bordered on madness.
And I forgot about it.
I really ought to put more effort into my broadcasting career.
“Cheok Cheok Seoksa, thanks for the reminder, friend. Next time I’ll make sure to do it.”
[Cheok Cheok Seoksa has donated 1 DP!]
ok looking forward to it
There he is—the man of 1 DP, Cheok Cheok Seoksa.
It’s that consistency in price point that somehow builds trust.
“All right then!”
I raised my voice toward the viewers.
“Shall we open the Legendary reward? Here we go~! What’ll come out~?”
A gacha announcement has to be done right to have any flavor.
I opened the rewards list with the same eagerness as tearing open a Pokémon bread outside a convenience store.
Pop!
[You have acquired the skill ‘Wave of Death’ from the job ‘Necron Emperor’.]
[You have acquired the Sword of Lamentation.]
[You have acquired the skill ‘Wide-Area Other Dimension Storage’ from your integrated job.]
“Hmm, something a bit ambiguous came out.”
That was my honest assessment.
I’d built up such expectations since it was Legendary Grade, but I got one skill, one weapon, and one building. That’s it.
Compared to the jaw-dropping impact of receiving a Mythic-Tier Reward, this definitely feels a step below.
“Let me check the descriptions first.”
[Skill: Wave of Death]
Transforms the very essence of death into a wave and spreads it in all directions.
Grants power to the undead; deals death to the living.
“Oh.”
This is an area-of-effect attack skill.
And not a passive one either—it’s an omnidirectional offensive type.
Wave of Death, huh.
“This is excellent.”
Without thinking, I slapped my knee.
Truth is, I’ve been frustrated without a proper area attack skill all this time.
My combat style boils down to having the undead fight for me and taking down enemies one by one, so when I’m facing a swarm, I’ve had no means to sweep them all away in one stroke.
I do have the Necrotic Power Arrow, but it’s single-target, so it hardly counts as area-of-effect.
“And it buffs the undead too? Isn’t this the ultimate overpowered skill?”
Release the Wave of Death and you create an insane scenario: enemies perish while allies grow stronger.
So Legendary Grade hands out stuff like this, does it?
“Let’s see what the Sword of Lamentation is like.”
[Sword of Lamentation]
Grade: Legendary
A greatsword forged from accumulated lamentation.
Those wounded by this blade, which contains immense hatred, anguish, and despair, are cursed with a terrifying curse.
Property: Inflicts Superior Curse on attack target
Property: Drains Life Force from attack target
Property: Drains Mana from attack target
“Wow. This is actually a really solid piece.”
The Sword of Lamentation.
First, there’s the Superior Curse infliction.
That alone is incredibly useful—stacks debuffs like crazy, right? And on top of that, it has Life Force Absorption and Mana Absorption too.
Hit someone and they get cursed while I recover. That’s the system at work here.
I’d say this ranks among the upper tier of Legendary Grade items.
“Hmm. This would be perfect for Bihalat.”
-Wait, the Sword of Lamentation has insane options, right?
-High-level curse with double absorption? They’re calling this Legendary Grade?
-It’s definitely not Mythic Grade, yeah?
-If that hits the market, the auction would go over a billion easy
-Yi Museon, were you thinking of selling it…?
The viewers, too, seemed genuinely in awe of the Sword of Lamentation.
[Keun Son Ajae has donated 100 DP!]
The Sword of Lamentation is a weapon that only appears from the fifteenth floor and beyond. Market listings are nearly nonexistent. You’ve got yourself a fine piece there.
[Factory Director, It Hurts has donated 1 DP!]
Wow, Keun Son Ajae is basically a living strategy wiki
[Hanibani has donated 3 DP!]
I’m jealous, honestly. Three Legendary Grade drops and level 30? What kind of cheat code are you using, Professor?
A moment ago you seemed disappointed it wasn’t Mythic Grade, but now that you’ve opened it, Legendary doesn’t look so bad after all?
“Keun Son Ajae, thank you. As expected, my broadcast really comes alive when you’re here with all your insider knowledge.”
I thanked Keun Son Ajae and checked the final reward.
[Skill: Wide-Area Other Dimension Storage]
Instantly stores nearby objects in another dimension.
No more need to pick up and collect items one by one.
Oh my!
A convenience skill like this actually dropped!!
How many times did I have to painstakingly collect corpse fragments and scattered items one at a time?
With this, I’m finally free from all that!!
Honestly, I was happier about this than any other Legendary Grade reward.
-Oh. You got yourself a vacuum cleaner?
-The vacuum cleaner is legit, though.
-Convenience makes a huge difference, you know~
The viewers are right. This skill is one of the Legendary Grade rewards, and every top-ranked player wants to have it.
But few actually possess it.
And yet here it is, right in my hands.
Man. This really does feel like my luck’s turning around today.
“Well, that’s all for today’s broadcast. I hope you all enjoyed it, and make sure to sponsor generously next time.”
-No, don’t go, please!
-My dopamine is drying up…….
-You’re really going to do that bet next time, right?
-Show us the Sword of Lamentation in actual combat soon!
I ended the broadcast, leaving the viewers’ cries behind.
Phew.
This lingering satisfaction after clearing a tower—it’s incomparable.
The last time I felt this good was when I gained that cliff enlightenment in my past life.
-You’ve worked hard, Gwang Museon.
-I appreciate you saying so.
-As a strategist in your service, it’s only natural. So, what do you intend to do now?
-Come here first.
At my word, she was summoned to the entrance hall.
“Hukbaek Musang, go rest in the Other Dimension. Bihalat, what would you like to do?”
“I wish to rest in the Other Dimension. And there is something I desire.”
“Something you desire?”
“I am a knight. And as a knight, I request a manor.”
A manor, she says.
The Other Dimension is only about the size of a county town—I wonder if I can actually grant her a manor.
“I know that you’ve come to belong to me by the will of the Dimensional Tower. I don’t yet know if I can create a proper manor for you in the Other Dimension, so let me look into it and tell you. For now, I’ll have a house built for you.”
“I am grateful.”
“Now go rest in the Other Dimension.”
She nodded and returned to the Other Dimension with Hukbaek Musang.
“You certainly do take good care of her.”
“Talent is a precious thing, after all.”
I gave Jegal Yuyeon a light reply.
“Now that I think about it… the Other Dimension only has production facilities and a mausoleum besides, doesn’t it? Where are you keeping your strategist?”
“I manage well enough, moving about as needed.”
“I’ve been thoughtless. I should build a proper residence for someone of your intelligence and refinement.”
Jegal Yuyeon smiled faintly at my words but offered no reply.
She’d already seen it coming.
