side story chapter 154 - master of the tower (1)
the space was as dark as a moonless night. a single woman was shining like a star in the darkness where one couldn’t distinguish between top and bottom.
“so, it’s you.”
oh kang-woo smiled as he stared at the woman emitting faint light. she had long black hair— no, long wasn’t descriptive enough. it was so long that it looked as if it created the darkness itself. it was also disheveled, showing she did not take care of it, and messily covered her face.
she had thick black circles under her eyes and dry lips. unlike her upturned eyes that made her look sharp-tempered, her gaze was shaking in shock as she stared at kang-woo.
“h-how? how did you enter this space?”
god of depravity, the highest-ranking constellation, stepped backward without realizing it. it should be impossible for a climber to enter the realm of constellations.
“that’s none of your business.”
kang-woo slowly walked toward the god of depravity as he cracked his fingers. the cracking sounds did not occur since he was in his astral form but the motion was more than enough to intimidate the constellation.
“so? you won’t spit out your nebula, huh?”
kang-woo’s eyes of blazing fury filled with bloodlust overpowered the god of depravity.
“urgh...” the god of depravity groaned.
likely because it was immediately after she received the restriction of the law of titans, sparks were crackling around her and her expression was filled with agony.
“y-you impudent human...!”
the god of depravity bared her teeth. she had no idea how kang-woo managed to enter this space but a mere human was no match for a constellation.
“how dare you show such arrogance before me?!”
boom—!
an energy current raged within the darkness. the tower rules forbade constellations from exerting force on the climbers but such a rule was meaningless if the climber trespassed on the constellation’s space.
“big words for a swindler who took off with my nebula.”
kang-woo couldn’t care less about the massive energy current. he could endure his vision being plastered with revelations and childish taunts made to get his attention. however—
“how dare you try to take my nebula?”
he couldn’t forgive anyone who unjustly stole rewards that were rightfully his.
“hmph! you’re the one who played tricks first!” yelled the god of depravity.
“tricks?”
“yes! you’re alive and well, aren’t you?!”
the god of depravity did not know what kind of trick kang-woo pulled but the fact that kang-woo was alive was proof he pulled some kind of trick. after all, the dead couldn’t come back to life.
“so, you’re saying you won’t hand over the nebula, right?” confirmed kang-woo.
“yes!”
kang-woo’s eyes narrowed. he lowered his head and bared his teeth.
“then i guess you need a beating.”
he had not come here to resolve things peacefully in the first place.
beep—! beep—!
[the law warns you once again!]
“fuck off.”
kang-woo ignored the warning alarms blaring in his head.
‘even if i come out worse than before because of this, i won’t compromise.’
if he compromised, he would need to keep compromising. kang-woo had never compromised in his entire life nor would he ever.
‘answer to evil with greater evil.’
he would never take something lying down no matter what misfortune awaited him. silence only worsened things; he always paid things back many times over.
“lemme tell you something...”
kang-woo clenched his fist.
fwoosh!
gold and black flames enveloped his fist.
“get fucking real, you piece of fucking shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!!!”
kang-woo charged forward. the space was so dark that he couldn’t tell from top and bottom but he could feel himself shooting forward and getting closer to the god of depravity.
“ngh!”
the law of titans seemed to have filed a report to the master of the tower like it warned kang-woo.
‘that aside, since it’s the master of the tower... are they a titan?’
kang-woo narrowed his eyes and stared at the message window.
[the ‘master of the tower’ states you are tipping the balance and order of the tower!]
it was only natural for one to think that way considering everything kang-woo had done since entering the tower. his journey had been far too extraordinary for a climber.
“so, what are you gonna do about it?”
kang-woo crossed his arms together and raised his head. he was curious about how the master of the tower would handle this since he didn’t know how powerful they were.
[the ‘master of the tower’ summons you to the top!]
“wha—?” kang-woo’s eyes widened. this was the last thing he expected. he impatiently shouted, “what the fuck? hey!! what’s up with that?!!”
he was planning on reaching the top of the tower sooner or later but this wasn’t what he had in mind. he didn’t want to get up there so quickly.
“i still have so many nebulas i haven’t managed to squeeze out!!!”
his plan to squeeze all of the constellations’ nebula over the remaining three weeks would go down the drain.
[climber ‘oh kang-woo’ will be summoned with his body left on the forty-first floor in ten minutes. his record of clearing the forty-first floor will be deleted.]
“what the fuck?!! who the hell do you think you are?!”
kang-woo blurted all kinds of curses at the sudden situation but he couldn’t defy the one who ruled over the tower. he could feel an unknown power wrapping him.
‘shit!’ he gritted his teeth and pulled on his hair. ‘did i push it too far?’
kang-woo belatedly regretted ignoring warnings and trespassing on the god of poverty’s territory but what’s done was done.
‘besides, how was i supposed to take someone scamming me lying down?’
he would never have been able to— no, it should never be taken lying down. he would have made the same choice if he were to turn back time.
“sh-shit!”
although it couldn’t have been helped, he still found it a massive waste to lose the chance to squeeze out as much nebula as possible from the constellations.
‘i at least need to get my ten million!’
kang-woo quickly ran to the god of depravity on her knees in tears.
“nebulaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”
“kyaaaahhh!!”
“hand over my nebulaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”
kang-woo grabbed the god of depravity’s slender neck and shook it front and back.
“s-stop!!! stooooooooop!!”
“stop, my ass!!! hand over my nebula, you biiiiiiiiiiiiitch!!!”
[commencing the summoning!]
“n-no!!” kang-woo shouted in pallor.
he had yet to receive the ten million nebula the god of depravity had set as the mission clear reward.
“nooooooooooooooowww!!! spit it ooooooooooooout!!!”
kang-woo pulled on his hair and spun like a top on his head again, his spinning legs just barely grazing the god of depravity’s head.
“kyaaahh!!”
“noooooooooooooooooooooooowww!!!”
“p-please w—”
“wryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!”
“kyaaaaahhh!! i-i’ll give it to you!! i will, so please...!”
“i’mgoinginsanei’mgoinginsanei’mgoinginsanei’mgoinginsanei’mgoinginsanei’mgoinginsanei’mgoinginsanei’mgoinginsanei’mgoinginsanei’mgoinginsanei’mgoinginsane!!!”
the god of depravity reached for the hologram-like window.
whoooom!!!
kang-woo felt a familiar floating sensation before the god of depravity pressed the mission clear button.
“ah... fuck my life.”
his consciousness went black.
