===================

Earth No. 675 Black Tower 100th floor.

The clear wasn’t difficult.

Breaking the protective shield with the Judge’s Mallet bearing King Yama’s handprints, arriving at the Administration Room without spilling blood, making contact with the Crystal Core, dismissing the Managers, and even taking over the tower management authority, it was completely smooth sailing.

Due to the Black Tower’s childish interference, there was a dispute over the clear judgment, but the one that eventually won was the White Tower.

As a reward, the 21st trait enhancement.

100 Platinum Badges.

Then?

Cumulative total 542, on hand 369.

20 Perks.

I feel proud.

Well, honestly, although it slightly falls short of expectations.

Still, it’s a complete clear though.

“My heart was pounding, sir.”

“Me too.”

“I thought Whitey would handle it, sir.”

“Eo-heo! What do you mean Whitey! Call him Teacher Baek.”

“Ah-yu, of course I should, Teacher Baek, come down here, he-he-he.”

What’s with Whitey to a being that might be a God?

Anyway, I am deeply moved.

It feels like just yesterday when I was trembling (ho-dal-dal) purely scared of the 1st floor though.

Father, Mother.

The eldest son of the Bong family climbed up to the 100th floor.

Even like this, am I an inferior man (bottom-tier man)?

All sorts of feelings cross my mind.

Let’s dry my tears for a moment and.

If people had lived on this Earth No. 675, how happy would they all have been?

They would have escaped the crisis of extinction and advanced toward a new beginning.

However, there will definitely be one.

A parallel universe Earth that hasn’t perished yet and is tenaciously holding on.

If such a world exists, and if that place is also in a crisis of extinction caused by a Black Tower?

‘I must save them.’

If it was before, I wouldn’t have even been able to think of this.

Who am I to save the world or whatever?

But I found out the method.

It isn’t difficult either.

Whichever world it is.

If it’s a world with a Black Tower.

If the world is facing a crisis of extinction due to that.

‘I just have to clear up to the 90th floor.’

Then the achievement reward.

Black Tower external world restoration.

Earth’s mana concentration reduction, natural ecosystem recovery, the monsters that came out of the tower disappear, and eventually even the holes created by the tower’s collapse are filled.

‘It’s overcoming the extinction.’

I just have to find parallel universe worlds in crisis.

Who will? How?

The White Tower, Teacher Baek should do it.

With the elevator that can cross dimensions.

Thanks to the complete clear of the Black Tower this time, Teacher Baek’s power would have become stronger, so if there is a surviving world, the elevator will probably find it.

“Shall we go out now?”

“Yep!”

Let’s just go out since we received everything we could receive.

So the moment I was about to shout exit!

Meom-chit! Joo-hyuk tilting his head.

“…Eum.”

I feel strange.

“What is the matter, sir?”

“Because it seems like I missed something.”

“Did you not lock the gas valve at home, sir?”

“No, not that.”

There is definitely something but… wait!

“Princess Dal-rae?”

“Please speak.”

“A complete tower clear isn’t something just anyone does, right? It’s an achievement,”

“Is there a need to say twice? It is truly a great achievement.”

But why isn’t it popping up?

The achievement message, that is.

Isn’t this too much?

At that moment!

Tti-ring!

“Right!!!”

[Great Achievement : Up as the first player, you have completely climbed the Black Tower.]

It popped up.

Furthermore, it’s not an ordinary achievement but a great achievement.

“Isn’t that obvious, sir?”

“That is so. The end of The Grand Journey, then the achievement must also be great.”

“The reward will be great too.”

[Distributing Great Achievement Reward (1).]

Reward in parentheses 1, huh.

If the number is numbered like that…….

It means they’ll give at least 2.

Our Teacher Baek, the best!

What is it?

Please give something good.

Something unimaginable.

[A single-use skill that allows summoning a Beyond summoned entity exactly once is registered in the status window.]

Oh-oh-oh!

“Beyond Summoning!!!”

This popped up again.

There’s one I received previously as a Heavenly Realm Seraphim suppression achievement reward.

I haven’t even used it yet.

Combined with the one I received right now, a total of 2 times is possible.

Is that all?

If I clear the Earth No. 1,001 Black Tower and the exact same achievement pops up?

Beyond Summoning 3 times, if I’m lucky, up to 4 times might be possible too.

From now on, the era of Beyond Summoning has come.

I don’t need to lean on Random Summoning.

‘But I still have to keep drawing, right?’

Even if it takes time.

Because I have to rescue all the people in the soul world.

And.

Tti-ring!

[Distributing Great Achievement Reward (2).]

Really 2 things.

The second great achievement reward.

[The cooldown time of the player’s Random Summoning skill has been deleted.]

Eng?

What was deleted you say?

Did I hear wrong?

[From now on, all souls in Sector S-17 can be summoned consecutively without limit.]

…What are you saying?

[Distributing Great Achievement Reward (3).]

Again?

[The catalog registration limit disappears. You can register summoned entities infinitely.]

‘…….’

Joo-hyuk was merely opening his mouth blankly.

I did ask to give something unimaginable, but my words became seeds (became reality).

‘Wow! What happens if it’s like this?’

Random Summoning with a 30-day cooldown.

Since that was deleted, it’s fine to just consecutively summon wildly.

All the personnel existing in the soul world, that is.

However, the summoned entities weren’t greatly surprised.

Even though everyone was making deeply moved expressions, they looked as if they expected it.

“Did you know?”

“I knew it would happen someday. However, to think it would be in this manner…….”

“The contract was like that from the start. If we help the Summoner and save the world, the souls will be completely liberated.”

Ah!

Come to think of it, Joo-hyuk remembered too.

Soul liberation, that is.

Actually, even if the Random Summoning cooldown time was deleted, there probably wouldn’t have been anything greatly changing.

Even if 1,000 summoned entities are registered in the catalog, what changes?

Due to the simultaneous summonable number anyway, the personnel I can carry around with me is extremely limited.

When others are climbing the tower with the Summoner, the remaining summoned entities must helplessly wait in the soul world.

It’s exactly the same.

It’s exactly that.

Except that the range of choices has broadened.

However.

“The White Tower 17th floor was a brilliant move.”

That’s right.

That place is precisely the liberated zone.

A world where they live having an actual body.

Since Permanent Residency Tickets can be issued as much as desired.

Soul liberation only gains meaning when accompanied by moving into the White Tower 17th floor.

However, one peculiar point.

The designation calling the soul world.

Sector S-17.

Symbol and numbering.

What could these mean?

‘The soul world wasn’t just one place.’

To make a guess, it seems Sector 17 is an area allocated solely to Joo-hyuk himself.

I know just by looking.

Isn’t the number 17.

Sector division is perhaps a natural thing.

There could be players with summoning traits in other parallel universes too, right?

They have to Random Summon too.

If Joo-hyuk alone summons all the summoned entities completely, the other Summoners would have to just casually suck their thumbs but.

“Around how many souls are there in Sector S-17? Based on what I heard before, I know it’s over 300 people.”

During the early days of awakening, when I called out Cossack with the first summoning, I heard from him.

That there would be over 300 people.

“I do not know the exact number, but it will probably be around that much.”

“That is correct. Judging by the conversation of intention which is our communication means, it probably will not exceed 400.”

The souls existing in Sector S-17 are at minimum between 300 and 400.

I can pull them all out in a day or two.

Moreover, catalog registration is also infinite.

Expansion Tickets are no longer needed either.

“This is fate, sir. Reeling a grand army troop and advancing to the main base to subjugate the Black Tower Outer God, sir.”

“Uh…….”

“Also, my life is reversed too, sir.”

Reversed, you say?

“From the last place in the popularity vote, I rose to the top ranks in a single stroke, sir.”

“…….”

That is true.

If it’s 15th place out of 300 people, it’s correct he’s at the very top.

Anyway, organizing a grand army troop.

It’s not a joke, it could actually be realized.

What if the trait continues to enhance without limit too?

For example,

[Trait] : Summoning (Simultaneous Summoning : 10,000)

In this manner.

‘A 10,000 grand army of summoned entities would be possible too.’

Division-level troops of summoned entities.

Of course, trait enhancement probably won’t progress up to that level but.

Let’s go home.

Let’s go quickly and try Random Summoning.

I should pull them out consecutively (jjuk-jjuk-jjuk) and liberate them.

* * *

Random Summoning preparation.

I hurried as fast as possible.

First, I entered the White Tower, called up the owner menu, and received issuances of Permanent Residency Tickets firsthand.

Amply 400 tickets.

This also took a very long time.

I also set up a plan for efficient summoning work.

And finally, the preparations ended.

Joo-hyuk was at the penthouse.

A portion of the summoned entities will help with the summoning work here.

The rest are on standby at the White Tower 17th floor.

‘Will continuous Random Summoning really work?’

Originally, Random Summoning was supposed to be impossible due to Man-nyeon’s summoned entity registration penalty, but now even that penalty has disappeared.

‘Anyway, let’s start.’

First of all, one person.

“Random Summoning!”

[Starting Random Summoning.]

Hwa-a-at!

A cluster of light rose up and.

Pa-pat!

A person appearing.

“…Heok!”

Making eye contact with Joo-hyuk, then pointing at himself with a trembling hand.

“A, am I summoned?”

“Yes, welcome.”

“Eu-a-a-a-a! Hooray!!!”

– Name : Wang Chun-bok
– Grade : R (Rare)
– Type : Warrior (Human)

So it’s a person from the martial arts world.

Is he from the same world as the Mad Demon?

He’s Rare for now, but well.

Does the grade matter?

I am satisfied just with making him escape the soul world.

“To think such luck would come to me too. Thank you. This Wang Chun-bok! Will lay down his life (grind bones and crush body) for the Summoner-nim…….”

At that moment!

“Chun-bok-ssi.”

“Yes yes?”

“I am called Geppetto, you know of me, right?”

“Ah! Vampire Lord-nim. The summoned entity rank 2nd place, who has the Assassin Cossack as a subordinate…….”

Heum.

Geppetto, what exactly did this gentleman go around saying in the soul world?

Seu-seut!

Cossack glaring at Geppetto, who was glaring with fierce eyes.

Um-jjil!

Geppetto forcing himself to avoid his gaze and dragging Wang Chun-bok away.

“…Please be quiet and come this way. Chun-bok-ssi.”

“Ah! U, understood.”

Wang Chun-bok, guided by Geppetto, approached exactly in front of the desk where El was sitting.

“Please stand in front.”

Then Mackenzie took a full-body photo with a camera connected to a laptop computer, chal-kak!

Next, El.

“Name.”

“Yes?”

“Name!”

“Wa, Wang Chun-bok.”

“Class.”

“I was an armed escort, a martial artist origin.”

“Grade is?”

“It is Rare.”

After simply writing down the personal details.

Gyeon Dal-rae handed over a Permanent Residency Ticket to Wang Chun-bok.

“This is?”

“It is a Permanent Residency Ticket.”

“Euum, e, excuse me……. Can’t I receive it later?”

“Why? You intend to return to the soul world and show off?”

“Heu-heu-heu, that is right.”

“Since there is no need for that, please take it.”

“A, actually.”

Beo-reok! Cossack getting angry.

“Are you ignoring the 4th place in popularity vote Princess Dal-rae right now, sir? Take it, please!”

“Yes yes.”

“A newbie, huh, you’ve lost discipline! Uh? For reference, I am 15th place in popularity vote, sir.”

“…….”

Wang Chun-bok who received the Permanent Residency Ticket.

Then.

Seu-seu-seut, the name was engraved and.

Lastly.

“Wang Chun-bok Unsummon.”

Spot!

Up to here is the summoning process.

Can’t be helped.

I must do it like this.

Just the catalog registration might be over 300 people.

How do I remember names and faces?

I’d summon them once and forget.

It’s convenient to compose a roster with names and faces like this.

That way, I can do Designated Summoning comfortably later too.

Anyway, now finally one person finished.

Second Random Summoning.

Will it work?

[Starting Random Summoning.]

It works.

Continuous summoning.

It is certain that the cooldown time has disappeared.

Hwa-a-at!

Pa-pat!

A person who appeared in the living room wearing red and flashy clothes.

Looking around the surroundings with a perplexed expression and.

Seeing Joo-hyuk and.

“Oh! Are you the Summoner?”

“Welcome.”

“Keu-ha-ha-ha-ha! Finally this seat (I) has arrived on Earth!”

Hearty laughter.

The inside of the living room resounded ringingly (jjeo-reong-jjeo-reong).

– Name : Billion Kazan
– Grade : LSSR (Legend Special Super Rare)
– Type : Emperor (Human)

His Majesty the Emperor has arrived.

And it’s an LSSR at that.

“Summoner, do not worry about anything anymore. Now that this seat is here, isn’t the tower clear playing the same as finished?”

Seeing him confidently boasting loudly is reassuring.

“If so, let us organize the ranks first. Where is the Mad Demon? Step forward immediately! If this seat is to stand by the Summoner’s right side, it would be right to trample you down first.”

Oh boy.

What should we do with that?

“This old man is here. You crazy Emperor bastard.”

Hwik!

Kazan turning his body toward the direction of the sound.

“Ha! This guy? Still arrogant as ever! Well, after you get hit a few times you’ll come to your sense…….”

He made eye contact with the Mad Demon.

“Uh, eo-eum.”

“Yeah, you said you’ll hit me a few times?”

“E, excuse me. What misunderstanding…….”

“Doesn’t seem to be a misunderstanding though?”

“…….”

Emperor Kazan realized it right as he faced the Mad Demon.

That he had gotten stronger to a level where his aura couldn’t even be grasped.

“By what method did you become so strong… sir?”

“The method of becoming stronger? It’s all thanks to the Summoner, what else is there.”

“…Ah!”

This won’t do.

I can’t bypass the Mad Demon.

If so?

“Then I must compete for superiority with the Assassin. Geppetto said he suffered because of that guy.”

It was then.

Spot!

Cossack appearing in front of Emperor Kazan.

“What?”

“Heok!”

“What did you say you’ll do to me, sir?”

“Misunderstanding…….”

“Wanna die, sir? Are you saying you dare to challenge the 15th place in popularity vote, sir?”

“…….”

“Go over there and take a photo at least, sir,”

“A, understood.”

Kazan, who lost his spirit even to Cossack.

“Excuse me, Lord Kazan, this way.”

“Oh! You are Geppetto, yeah, you suffered a lo… eu-eum.”

Kkul-kkeok.

Spit being swallowed automatically.

“Why are you acting like that?”

“Eu-eo, a, no…….”

The Vampire Lord’s level isn’t something to look down on either.

Was Geppetto, who did all sorts of flattery while calling people Hyung-nim (older brother) and Noona (older sister) in the soul world, a strong guy like this too?

‘This is driving me crazy.’

Kazan, who went exactly in front of Mackenzie.

“Do not close your eyes when taking the photo. Straighten your shoulders completely.”

“…Yes.”

An infuriating situation.

He didn’t even dare to measure the true ability of the attention-seeker Mage Mackenzie.

Wasn’t his highest grade LSSR?

But why did these guys get so strong?

To the point where he wouldn’t be a match.

“Receive the residency ticket.”

“Th, thank you,”

The shrine maiden exactly in front was the same too.

The weight of her charisma surpasses his own.

‘Ranks and whatever else, I should just do as I’m told quietly.’

He is the weakest.

If he makes a mistake, it’s a completely disgraced (shamed) scenario.

Amidst that, Joo-hyuk cast continuous Random Summoning once again.

Now just barely 2 people.

Let’s draw them quickly.

* * *

O-pyeong-yeong. (Today too, the peaceful soul world)

Today, a peaceful soul world.

Souls conversing using mental waves.

『Will the Summoner truly be able to conquer the tower?』
『He is the strongest Summoner in history. I think we can trust him this time.』
『By the way, the Random Summoning suspension penalty still hasn’t been lifted, right?』
『It’s slowly about time, but since Geppetto isn’t coming either, we can’t know the situation outside.』
『Nothing bad should have happened.』
『I’m the same. Even if he fails the tower climb, I just hope he’s safe.』
『Anyway, I wish someone would go out. Because it’s fine even if they return and show off.』

Although there are many souls determined to definitely be summoned this time, on the other hand, there are quite a few souls who have given up hope.

Their hope is just for the Summoner to survive for a long, long time.

Because then an opportunity will come to them as well someday.

『He just needs to remain alive, just remain alive.』
『Right. Then we win.』
『My heart is the same. For the sake of the Summoner, I can even yield my turn.』
『Heu-heu, exactly, a guy who becomes actual help to the Summoner should go out first.』
『Saintess, among us, who was the somewhat useful guy?』
『Wouldn’t Emperor Kazan be the best? Even though he’s arrogant, he has charisma, right.』
『Heu-eum, Kazan! Do you think so too?』

However, there was no answer.

『…Kazan?』
『Where did he go.』
『He doesn’t even have anywhere to go. What could a soul… uh?』
『Uh?』
『Could it be?』

Emperor Kazan, who talks the most among the souls.

What does it mean that he’s not here?

『Hahaha, Random Summoning, huh.』
『It finally started.』
『He’ll probably come in to show off if we wait a little.』

So the souls waited.

For Emperor Kazan to return and show off.

Along with finding out the outside situation too.

However, even as time flowed and flowed again.

Kazan did not return.

He’s not coming to show off, you say?

『It’s strange. If Kazan went out, he’s not a guy to stay still. Right, Saintess?』

Quiet.

『Saintess?』

Quiet.

What happened?

Even the Saintess has no answer.

『That Saintess wench, where did she go?』
『Did she go out too?』
『Perhaps skill reset?』
『Is that so?』

However, it wasn’t just the Emperor and the Saintess.

Souls disappearing one by one increasingly.

『One disappeared again.』
『How many people is this already?』
『Just the ones I know are over 10.』
『10 people disappeared simultaneously?』
『This cannot be explained just by a skill reset ticket…….』

They continually disappear.

Even exactly during the middle of conversing, that is.

『Just what is it?』

The soul who just said these words also disappeared.
