Chapter 95
“Shall we say we started over?”
Yes / No
“Not a chance. If you want to protect your world, let us pass!”
“Kyahhh! Pl-please do something!”
“You heard that, right? Before the administrator discriminates against you, let us through!”
A sense of nervousness radiated from something.
Was it due to heightened senses?
“Very well, I will let you pass.”

With a sly smile, my answer was already decided.
“Accept.”
“Isn’t this going too far!”

“So, what will you do now?”
When I threatened to show them how far Nika’s rampage could go if they didn’t let us through, they eventually let us pass.
“Pass….”
【Mission Cleared!】
Rewards are being distributed.
【77th-floor record achieved!】
Registered in the Hall of Fame.
【Would you like to proceed to the next floor?】
Accept / Decline
“Accept.”
“Ah, even demons would be less wicked than you.”
“Are you talking about the 66th floor? Say hello. She’s the former Demon King.”
When I introduced the former Demon King Belial, the entity fell silent.
Why?
After clearing up to the 79th floor and stepping outside the tower, fresh air greeted me.
“Feels nice.”
“Brother, you’re truly evil.”
“You’re more demonic than I am.”
“As expected of Master…!”
I couldn’t tell if these were compliments or insults, but hey, take it as it comes.
I tried to sit on a comfortable sofa, but Belial and Darami had already taken it over.
“This is my spot.”
“It’s mine as well.”
Why are they so fast?
The administrator was already seated in front of the TV.
Seriously, what’s with them?
“Brother, instead of standing there, come help me prepare dinner.”
“What’s this? You’re actually helping?”
“If I leave it to you, it’ll be soy sauce egg rice again.”
“What’s wrong with soy sauce egg rice?”
Soy sauce egg rice is the GOAT of all meals.
Carbs, protein, fat—it’s the perfect combination. What’s wrong with that?!
“Haa, this won’t do. Brother, you’re sentenced to a week of soy sauce egg rice.”
“N-no!”
Resistance was futile.
When I took out the eggs from my inventory, she panicked, but it was too early to be shocked.
This wasn’t the full extent of the random summon eggs.
Christmas.
While I was praying to the heavens, wishing curses upon couples and blessings upon singles, someone tapped my shoulder.
“Brother, don’t you have something to do?”
“Me? What is it?”
“You know, that thing.”
She poked my side, reminding me about the association president’s last visit, which I had honestly forgotten.
Oh, right. That thing.
“Thanks.”
I patted my little sister’s head and took Nika outside. When Lillian and the Heavenly Demon tried to follow behind us, I stopped them.
“We’ll handle this.”
“But I’m worried….”
“Wouldn’t it be better to bring us along?”
“It’s fine as long as I have Nika.”
Though her eyes showed disappointment, I appreciated her stepping back without further argument.
“Well, I’m heading out now.”
“Take care.”
“Safe travels.”
After saying my goodbyes, I stepped outside and headed toward the meeting location.
A building in Seoul that everyone knows, famous for resembling a giant eye featured in a certain movie.
The meeting was set for the 123rd floor.
I took the elevator up, but it was completely empty, and there wasn’t even a single staff member to guide me.
What’s this? Are they not open for business?
At that moment, I felt an unusual presence.
Following the strange energy, I ventured further inside to find a humanoid figure sitting and drinking tea.
When I sat across from them, they put down their cup and looked at me. As expected, they were… something mixed.
A blend of human and something else.
“Nice to meet you. This is our first meeting, isn’t it?”
“Yes, it is. So, why did you call me here?”
“Diving straight into the main topic, huh? How about some small talk first?”
When they tapped the table twice, staff members appeared as if they had been waiting for the signal.
Their eyes lacked focus—what kind of trickery was this?
A cup of warm tea was placed before me.
“This tea is quite good, you know. Humans are good at making things like this.”
“They’re good at a lot of things.”
“Hohoho, true. Who would’ve thought a species that can’t even live a hundred years would advance so much? That’s why they need proper management.”
Managing humans…
As I thought, their identity was obvious without needing confirmation.
I’d encountered them before. The only species that went around causing chaos under the guise of management in the Tower was their kind.
“So, what business does the ‘Angel’ have with me?”
“Oh my, you’re sharper than I expected.”
How did they manage to raise my blood pressure with every word? Was this a skill?
If I had low blood pressure, they might have even cured it.
The problem is, with this, I’ll probably suffer from high blood pressure.
I gave them a look that screamed, “Get to the point already,” and only then did they retrieve something from a subspace—a small orb?
“This is an item that lets you ‘pass’ the 89th floor. If you promise to use it, we angels can become your strongest allies.”
When I received the orb and inspected it, it was an item labeled as a ‘Pass.’
In other words, it was a warning to not invade their territory.
Looks like Nika scares them quite a bit.
Though they seemed calm, I could see their wary gaze toward Nika, who was quietly staring at the angel from within my arms.
“What happens if I refuse?”
“That wouldn’t be wise. My presence on ‘Earth’ means other angels can also come, doesn’t it?”
After the persuasion came the threat.
What’s next, I wonder?
Curious to see how far they’d go, I pretended to deliberate while holding the orb. They smiled slyly, seemingly confident about the outcome.
After about ten minutes, the angel stood up.
“I hope for a favorable decision.”
With those parting words, a Gate appeared.
Using a Gate meant they had borrowed the power of the 80th-floor ‘Explorers of This World.’ I have way too many things to take care of.
Why won’t the heavens let me live in peace?
Fine, let’s crush the 80th floor first and then the 89th.
Even if the administrator tries to stop me, I’ll see it through.
“Until next time.”
“Indeed.”
With those final words, the angel disappeared. The staff, who had now returned to their senses, looked around in confusion.
“…Please charge me for the tea.”
After paying the bill, I was on my way home.
I had been worried about Nika causing trouble from within my arms, but she remained quiet and simply held onto me.
Sorry, Belial, but I don’t think I can hold back any longer.
“Nika.”
【Yes.】
“When we reach the 89th floor, you can go all out.”
【Really?】
“Even if the administrator intervenes, I’ll turn a blind eye. Go all the way, understood?”
【Yes!】
Ah, my Nika is so well-mannered.
I took out a Magic Stone from my inventory and handed it to Nika.
Just as I was about to head home, I realized it was Christmas.
“It’s Christmas. I can’t go back empty-handed.”
In the past, I couldn’t even dream of such things due to lack of money, but now I can. Heading to a nearby department store, I saw countless couples.
The problem, however, was that I’d forgotten how famous I’d become.
“Isn’t that Han Ji-an?”
“That face looks just like him.”
“Kyahhh! I’m a fan! Can I take a picture with you?”
As the crowd began to swarm, turning into chaos, a helping hand reached out.
“Han Ji-an, let me assist you.”
It was Tsurumiya Yui, the guild leader of the Maehwa Guild, who had now naturalized to Korea.
“Thank you.”
“Let’s talk later, shall we?”
“Yes.”
Thanks to Tsurumiya Yui’s help, I escaped the crowd and entered a VVIP room. I could finally breathe.
But her expression, which I hadn’t seen in a while, was icy.
Where had her usual smiling face gone?
“Long time no see, Han Ji-an. It’s good to see you’re doing well, even though you never responded to any of my messages.”
“Huh? Messages? I didn’t receive any.”
“That’s impossible! I contacted you multiple times a day!”
“What?”
When she asked for my phone, I handed it to her from my pocket. Moments later, her face showed utter disbelief.
“Why did you block me?!”
“What? Block?”
She showed me my phone, and there she was, listed in the blocked contacts.
I didn’t even know how to block someone, so the culprit was obvious.
My little sister.
But it wasn’t just Tsurumiya Yui in the blocked list. Others were there too. No wonder I hadn’t been receiving any messages.
…Let’s see about this when I get back.
