The Novel's Extra (101-200)

Chapter 190 - Ranker (1)

[You are the first to reach the sixth floor!]

[3 hours from now, the news of your advancement will be announced to all players.]

[All stats increase by 0.3 points.]

[You acquire two Lv.3 Skill Level-Up Coupons.]

[You acquire one Lv.2 Consolidation Coupon!]

I arrived at the sixth floor alone, bathed in mud, vomit, and garbage.

"Uuuk—!"

I fell to the ground and threw up again. My stomach churned as yellowish gastric juices gushed out of my mouth.

"Ugh...."

I came to my senses only after completely emptying my stomach.

I brushed the disgust aside with a sigh and got back on my feet.

It was then that I finally had a full view of the 6th floor.

What I came to face after traveling through the most disgusting passage was...

"...Wow."

...the most beautiful sight in the entire world.

[Welcome to the 6th floor, 'Splendor'.]

[The 6th floor is a neutral floor.]

I was at a loss for words. My mind blanked, and my heart stopped beating all because of the stunning, breathtaking view.

The sun and the moon gave off a magnificent flash in unison. The sky was painted blue and navy, and clusters of stars and milky ways were glowing in it. There was the emerald waterfall, where the water shot out from the ground into the air, and the pink forest full of trees with leaves that sparkled like jewels.

I couldn't take my eyes off the spectacular sight.

If Heaven existed, this was surely what it looked like.

Even the Garden of Eden wouldn't be as wonderful.

"...Ah, ah."

But soon, I shook my head. I came to my senses and recalled the reason I had come here in the first place.

My top priority was to get to the 8th floor.

Then I had to impede the 'bridge' that connected the 8th and the 9th floor.

Why?

It was because the 9th floor contained a calamity that needed to be delayed as much as possible.

I didn't know what would happen if people rushed in like they did in the original novel.

I would probably get an alert saying something like: [It was determined that the 'calamity' as described in the original is too weak...], significantly increasing the level of difficulty of the calamity.

I could expect that much from my experiences so far.

Of course, Players who were risking their lives to climb the Tower would still try to proceed to the 9th floor without delay.

I had to stop them.

Currently, I could think of only one way to do so.

Shooting arrows and showing them that they were not ready for the next floor.

To do that, I needed to hone my skills first.

"...Hm."

I stretched my limbs as I looked around.

The 6th floor's crystal stele was nearby.

As soon as I touched the crystal stele to save my current location, someone appeared before me.
