chapter 9

Everyone woke up early to watch the countdown to the 11th floor hit 0. I met up with Gong-ja at our meeting spot near a plaza. We walked next to each other but as we went more into the crowd I grabbed Gong-ja's backpack as a way not to lose him. 

Feeling the tug from the bag Gong-ja looked over his shoulder at me. He slowed down and grabbed my hand. No clue what was on his mind but I didn't try to shack his hand off. His hand was bigger than mine and was warm. 

The voices around us all whispered about who cleared the 10 or what the next floor would be. As the count hit 10 everyone cheered and counted down with the clock.

10!!
9!!
8!!
7!!
6!!
5!!

Gong-ja pulled his phone out of his pocket with his free hand and looked at the news. As the top guilds promised they kept our identities secret till it hit 0. Reaching the end the news updated with breaking news on who cleared it and our names plastered the web.

4!!
3!!
2!!
1!!

With this over the countdown was replaced with bright fireworks. I alongside others shielded our eyes with our hands. Taking this chance I peered over at Gong-ja. His eyes squinted as he watched. The light from the popping fireworks illuminated his features and as he was lost in thought and I was lost in him.

[Everyone. As of today, the tutorial has ended. I repeat. As of today, the tutorial has ended. Warriors. Climbers of the tower. Congratulations on resolving the grudge of the inferno mansion.] 

An NPC that resembled the thought of an angel appeared. Long wavy blonde hair and a white dress that flowed with the wind floated up to our heads. 

"Wake up. That's not a goddess It's just a system that explains quests to you. Even if there were such a thing as a goddess, Tha's nothing more than a recorded video."

[Warriors! There is a world that needs your help. In this world, the people are suffering from the demon king's invasion. From here on, you will be summed as warriors in this place, and you will receive a mission to protect mankind. If you want to accept say transmit.] 

As Gong-ja went to as Swordmaster how he knew this the sword saint jumped up and with a sword in hand tried slicing the angel in the sky. "I did that in the past, too. See? It's an NPC."

Everyone started to say transmit and disappear from this world. 

Gong-ja thought for a moment and Paladin walked up to us surprising us both. "What a shame."

"A shame?" Gong-ja replied as I simply looked at her.

"Whoever made the tower put a lot of effort into making it. That's also a message they left for us but no one cares. People should've looked at this with a little more emotion and admiration. The tower's existence, and skills, are all amazing miracles. But we've already become used to everything on the 10th floor."

"You're unexpectedly a sensitive person."

"I majored in music in the outside world. Do I seem more charming to you two after you know I majored in music?"

"Ya you do but we really need to get out of here before we get crushed. Come on." After one look at what I was looking at we both said transmit and off we go to avoid the press running to us with mics and cameras.

 As the bright colored lights dropped us off on a battlefield. In armor are the warriors of the empire and on the other hand, are different monsters. As soon as the quest window opened the hunters picked up their weapons and took action.

[Welcome, hunter Kim gong-ja, hunter (l/n) (y/n). Here is your reward for clearing the 10th floor.]

Because we cleared the hidden clear quest we got 3 bonuses. 1 is a map, 2 is we can see NPCs' abilities and location on floors 11 to 20. and 3 we can pick 1 weapon from 11 to 20 for both of us.
