Chapter 63
Episode 63
As I recall, that Shi Ling Corpse Demon used to swagger around with nothing more than a Thousand Corpse Form at best.
The Shi Ling Corpse Breakthrough Array he deployed with that corpse form was certainly impressive.
Now that I think about it, should I use that array going forward?
Would it be better than the Jegal Clan’s array?
[Chukchuk Sageosa has donated 1 DP!]
But honestly, you look more and more like a cheapskate. Spend some points already! Upgrade the Subdimension! Come on, this is driving me crazy!!!!
“Chukchuk Sageosa, welcome. But let’s not be like that. I’m from a martial arts background, not engineering.”
-LMAOOO! Right, our ham is from martial arts!!!!
-Not everyone in martial arts is like you though
-There are lots of smart and thoughtful people in martial arts, you know?
-Excuses, excuses…. But we approve of Shi Ling Ham!
The viewers were chattering about something, but I ignored them for now. There were too many voices anyway, and with my abilities transcended through external martial training, I couldn’t even make them out clearly.
If I’d recovered my martial prowess from my past life, I could have heard them all, but…… that’s still a distant dream.
Unless I become strong enough to completely break free from the Tower’s restrictions…… but even that’s beyond me right now.
Even those great Constellations can’t pierce the system’s constraints…….
Now that I think about it, isn’t it about time I met those Constellations?
Level 100.
In other words, once I pass the tenth floor, I’ll be able to meet the Constellations.
“So what are you saying I should do?”
[Chukchuk Sageosa has donated 1 DP!]
Now that you’ve leveled up, you’ll be able to build a few more things, so build something, anything already
“Chukchuk Sageosa, don’t talk like that. If you have any actual recommendations, go ahead and suggest them.”
[Chukchuk Sageosa has donated 1 DP!]
Argh! Then go into Environment Settings, click on Special Environment, and there’ll be a corpse pit. Build a bunch of those first
“Huh? A corpse pit?”
A corpse pit. Wasn’t that something you could upgrade to a Necron Ossuary as a reward back then? And after that, you became able to construct a Multi-dimensional Corpse Pit.
[Chukchuk Sageosa has donated 1 DP!]
After you build that, you can upgrade it to the Multi-dimensional version. If you build a lot of them, corpse resources will keep generating. By the way, doing it this way is cheaper than building the Multi-dimensional Corpse Pit from scratch. Keep that in mind
“So other Necromancers are sourcing their resources that way, huh.”
I see…… now I understand.
Unlike me, who massacres in bulk and then collects every corpse using the Subdimension Cleaner, they all use what spawns in the Multi-dimensional Corpse Pit as their resource supply!
So that was the fundamental tech for Necromancers.
I’m the weird one; everyone else does it differently. But…… do we really need to generate corpse resources that way?
Corpses? On higher difficulties, they pour out like wheat during harvest. Why bother?
As I was thinking that, I remembered what use the Multi-dimensional Corpse Pit actually had. Wasn’t Bihalat one of those spawns?
Special heroes’ corpses from countless dimensions naturally roll in on their own…… not great for resource harvesting, but from this angle, it’s quite useful.
In other words, free Hero Gacha!
And it’s free!
“Okay. If Chukchuk Sageosa’s that fired up about it, I should listen. Let’s go check it out.”
I opened the Subdimension right away.
If Chukchuk Sageosa gets that angry, I might as well give it a try.
“Alright. Let’s build a whole bunch of corpse pits.”
I opened the Subdimension construction screen and began searching for a location to build.
Thanks to my territory doubling in size, I had plenty of land to spare.
The question was where to construct.
Hmm. What would be a good spot? Can I just plop them down anywhere?
As I was turning the screen this way and that, Jegal Yu-yeon suddenly spoke up.
-My lord. Build them in bulk to the north, outside the perimeter. And construct roads alongside them.
“Roads? Why?”
When I asked back, Jegal Yu-yeon stopped her fan work.
Then she looked at me with an expression of pure bewilderment.
“……Don’t you need roads to transport the resources to the processing facility?”
“Oh? Oh…… right, you do?”
When corpses come out of the corpse pit, you need to move them to the Corpse Processing Facility and process them to make them into products.
Or when you put them in the Necron Ossuary, you have to carry them out and transport them.
Usually, the undead within the Subdimension handle those menial tasks.
But transporting corpses spilling out from a hundred pits across a barren wasteland with no roads?
“Come to think of it, I’ve never been inside one, so I don’t know—what’s the ground like in there?”
—It’s black earth. The particles aren’t fine; they’re quite coarse. It doesn’t rain here, so it won’t turn to mud, but walking across it is a bit cumbersome, I’d say.
Hmm. I should really lay out some paths.
When I checked, path-building turned out to be under Environment Creation.
—Or you could move the Processing Facility closer to the pit. Or build another one.
“This is seriously tedious.”
Building placement, road design, logistics flow—I had to account for it all.
At this point I wasn’t a Necromancer anymore; I was an urban planner.
In my past life I’d memorized thousands of martial manuals, but I’d never read a single book on city engineering.
“Fine. I’ll build it on the northern perimeter and lay out the roads.”
Sometimes the wisest move is just to listen to the experts.
I began marking out plots in the northern fringe for the corpse pits.
“One, two, three… Ugh, forget it. Batch construct a hundred!”
Crunch-crunch-crunch-crunch-crunch!
A hundred Multi-dimensional Corpse Pits began carving themselves into the northern plain of the Subdimension simultaneously.
The earth dipped and buckled as the pits emerged in succession—it was quite a spectacle.
From above, it would look like a honeycomb or a pockmarked bun.
“And upgrade every single one to Multi-dimensional!”
Whirrrrr-whirrrrr-whirrrrr!
All hundred pits flared with a dark blue light and transformed into Multi-dimensional Corpse Pits. At the bottom of each pit, cracks yawned open, leading to other dimensions, writhing like hungry mouths.
Each Multi-dimensional Corpse Pit brought in five corpses per day, drawn randomly from various dimensions.
Which meant with a hundred pits, five hundred corpse resources would roll in automatically every single day.
In a month: fifteen thousand.
Doing nothing but sitting around, my legion would grow by another army-sized force every month.
“Now that I’ve made it… this is better than I thought?”
Honestly, at first I’d been lukewarm on the idea.
I’d figured I could always just go hunting and sweep up corpses.
But this was a different concept altogether.
While I slept, while I was off-stream, while I tore into chicken—corpses would pile up steadily, methodically.
Wasn’t this basically passive income in the corpse economy?
A guy who’d only ever known earned income had just opened his eyes to capital gains.
And the fact that they came randomly from multiple dimensions—that was the real kicker.
It meant there was a chance I’d pull another heroic-grade corpse like Bihalat.
Wasn’t I essentially spinning a free Hero Gacha five hundred times a day for life?
Man. This is actually way sweeter than I expected. Sure, the DP I sank into this was hefty… but I’m loaded with DP, so what’s the problem?
I’d won big on that gamble earlier, and now DP’s just flowing out of my ears.
[Chukchuk Sageosa has donated 1 DP!]
See? See? Told you I was right?
“Yeah. Chukchuk Sageosa, you were spot-on.”
I conceded freely.
“You’re truly the wisdom repository of our stream. A man worth 1 DP who gives advice worth a hundred DP—I acknowledge it!”
—I can hear Chukchuk Sageosa’s shoulders ascending to heaven
—The guy who coaches game strategy for 1 DP lmao
—But seriously, it was genuinely good advice
—Five hundred free corpses a day is absolutely broken
—If something like Bihalat drops from there too, that’d be insane
[Chukchuk Sageosa has donated 1 DP!]
yep now you get it, keep listening to me from now on
“Ugh, you’re obnoxious. But thanks anyway.”
Consistent monotone, consistent 1 DP.
But when it came to intel, this man was the real deal: Chukchuk Sageosa.

At the very moment Yi Museon was collecting his rewards and throwing himself into Subdimension development.
Korea’s entire population trembled once more.
A system message blazed across the vision of every single Dimensional Tower Climber bearing Korean nationality.
[The High-Difficulty Dimensional Tower 4th Floor Trial has been completely cleared for the first time.]
[The High-Difficulty Dimensional Tower 4th Floor Hidden Trial has been completely cleared for the first time.]
[The Awakened One in question holds Korean nationality.]
[All Dimensional Tower Climbers of Korea receive a permanent Divine Blessing.]
[Divine Blessing: Weak Poison Resistance]
[Divine Blessing: Weak Physical Resistance]
A national-level buff following the Tutorial and the first floor—and now Yi Museon had lost count of how many times it had happened.
From the perspective of Korean Awakened Ones, it was as though money were materializing in their bank accounts while they sat idle, and even more besides—this miracle repeating itself again and again.
Naturally, the community erupted once more, and the news networks began flooding the airwaves with patriotic special reports.
And.
In a laboratory where a mana circulation channel pulsed sapphire-blue, a man watched that message unfold.
The old hand himself.
The founder of Haneulnuri, known by the alias the Arcane Professor.
Kim Yu-han.
He reclined deep into a floating chair, his gaze fixed quietly upon the system message hovering in the air before him.
“Poison resistance and physical resistance.”
Kim Yu-han murmured low.
“That makes four national buffs now.”
Complete Tutorial clearance.
Complete first floor clearance.
And now the hidden trial of the fourth floor’s Hard Mode.
Each time a single human climbed, the nation’s standing rose another notch.
The complete clearance record that America and China had spent decades pouring their national strength into building—that man alone had not merely caught up to it in mere weeks, but surpassed it entirely.
-Analysis of the fourth floor Hard Mode clearance data is complete.
Beside him, a hologram in the form of a dark-haired beauty shimmered into view—Eiruna.
Her eyes, their irises shifting color moment by moment, sparkled with unusual intensity today.
-The notable factor is the wide-area Illusion Induction skill used to repel the monster swarm single-handedly.
“An array formation, I’d wager. This Illusion Induction of theirs.”
Kim Yu-han’s eyes narrowed.
“What’s the analysis?”
-Match rate with existing database: 0.3%. Effectively unanalyzable.
