Episode 183
My body started falling from the sky.
As I looked at the fading light of Star Heaven Island, I turned my head down and saw Nia looking at me from the window.
I bounced through the air and returned to the window, landing on the window frame and facing Nia.
“Really, it’s a mess. What if we block that too? “You can block my greed and do whatever you want.”
The moment I saw Nia lowering her head with both fists clenched, I realized that there was something on my hand.
【’Atelier of Oman’ says they will help you a little.】
Right. Is that so?
I rummaged through my pockets and pulled out my diploma.
Although it was half burned, there was still room for stamping.
I put the paper high above Nia’s head and smiled.
“I told you. “I will give you the choice.”
When Nia accepted the diploma, I patted her head as always.
Then, the power of Atelier of Arrogance began to erase the power of the constellations that remained in Nia’s body.
Nia, who has become an incomplete constellation, will remain even if the world is reset.
If it remained in an imperfect state, its ego would wear out and it would become nothing more than a shining star, so the Atelier of Arrogance erased the power of the constellation.
“Nia, it’s your choice to end it.”
“That’s cowardly.”
“I was originally a cowardly person. “I knew from the moment I lied and told you I liked you.”
“There is no one who would like you by nature other than me.”
“What are you arguing about? “I am a person loved by everyone.”
How can you suddenly turn a person into a person who cannot receive love?
As I was looking at Nia with a disapproving expression, she burst out laughing.
Nia, who was laughing silently, held her diploma and looked up at me.
“… … “Are you still going to remember me?”
“Because forgetting is not my specialty. “That’s why I haven’t been able to forget it for 25 years and am trying to go back.”
“Speak kindly. “Because my heart is soft.”
Nia lifted a pen lying on the desk.
He then wrote his signature in the blank space on the diploma.
The falling tears partially wet the diploma.
“Cheonseong-ah.”
“uh.”
“i like you.”
Nia blurted out as if she had not conveyed the message properly and handed me her diploma.
“I liked it.”
Nia, who had a bright smile that made the flowers bloom around her, shed a tear from her eye.
“And thank you.”
That’s how I received my diploma from Nia’s hands.
【congratulations. You have cleared the 39th floor for the 5th time.】
【’Master of the 39th Floor’ and ‘Summer’s Day Cicadas’ cries to congratulate you on your clearing.】
【’The owner of the 39th floor’ and ‘The sound of cicadas on a summer day’ are happy to point out your clear.】
I looked at Nia disappearing before my eyes and pulled on her wrist.
Then, when the hand around Nia’s waist and the lips touched, the boy’s eyes widened and then closed with a faint smile.
The world disappeared and I looked up, feeling the touch disappear from my lips.
There was a staircase leading up to the next floor.
‘I did something that wasn’t like me.’
I brushed my hair back and looked down at my body, which had returned to its original age.
Because I was a teenager who was sensitive to emotions, I was probably shaken for a moment by emotional intoxication.
I climbed the stairs again as usual.
* * *
The moment I arrived at the 39.5th floor, I saw a downtown area.
As I looked out at the city at night, which had the atmosphere of an entertainment district, there was a person standing in front of the entrance.
I realized who she was and looked at her with a disapproving expression.
“Why are you here?”
“I waited for you. “I thought it would come soon.”
The Sword King’s expression was smiling bitterly as if he was remembering the time before he cleared the floor.
“What happened?”
“Don’t you know I’m here?”
“I see. “Looking at your expression, it seems like at least it won’t end badly.”
The Sword King smiled bitterly, as if he was relieved.
While looking at that guy, I looked around.
“What about the Hell guy?”
“I didn’t see it. “Because there was barely an hour difference between you and me in clearing.”
“Tell me when you see it.”
“What are you going to do?”
“I will kill you.”
This time, I will definitely kill you.
The Sword King looked at my burning eyes and shrugged his shoulders as if telling me to do as I pleased.

She seemed to have no intention of stopping me because she realized that this was a plan by Hell.
“Are you planning on going straight to the next floor?”
“Yes, there is no reason to rest.”
“It’s a physical strength monster. No, I should say that his mental power is like a monster.”
After hearing that, I tilted my head.
“Aren’t you too carefree? “It looks like they forgot that it resets after 5 years.”
“Clearing is definitely delayed due to constellation changes. But you know. “There’s no point in rushing on Crown Road.”
The Sword King who said that smiled.
“And this time, you are there too.”
“I was there in the last episode too.”
“It didn’t exist back then.”
Should I hit him?
“It’s a problem because it has such a strong presence now.”
“What are you going to do?”
“Are you interested in me?”
As my frown slowly began to frown, the Sword King shrugged his shoulders.
“Maybe so. “It looks like the bottom is coming up hard, and as you said, it can’t go back again.”
“Oh yeah.”
I answered appropriately and started walking down the street to go to the next floor.
Then the Sword King followed me and smiled.
“But I was a lot of help on the previous floor, right?”
I didn’t deny it.
It was true that the Sword King had been of great help on the previous floor.
“See, the more we climb the Crown Road together, the better.”
“Have you forgotten that I suffered before because of you guys?”
“Let Yashin be an exception. “Aren’t you and I already building a relationship of trust at this level?”
I stopped in my tracks.
The Sword King who stopped after me was smiling, and I looked him up and down and shook my head.
“at all.”
“I get hurt when I come out like that.”
“Take it or not. Didn’t you believe it was Yashin in the previous episode? He trusted that guy, so he wasn’t betrayed. “The only time I cooperate with you is when it helps each other on the floor.”
“… … Aren’t you and my horse going to end up helping each other up the stairs? “What’s different?”
“It’s completely different.”
“Stubborn.”
When I glared at him, the Sword King turned his head and looked the other way.
I didn’t deserve to see a guy like that, so I turned around and walked away again.
“Anyway, you’re planning on going up to the next floor, right?”
“okay.”
“In that case, let’s at least go in together. “Like you said, maybe we can help each other.”
I looked for the stairs to the first floor without answering, as if telling him to do whatever he wanted.
Now on the 40th floor.
I climbed up the floor, thinking that if the entry was quick, it would have been pretty fast.
The moment I climbed the last stairs of the floor with the Sword King next to me, my eyes were enveloped in pure white light.
Soon a dwarf appeared in front of me.
The dwarf with a cone on his head looked like a regular dwarf often seen in pictures.
When I looked to the side, the Sword King was also there.
Apparently, this floor was a floor where there was no limit to the number of people.
【’The owner of the 40th floor’ and ‘Creepy Little Man’ raises his hand to greet you.】
Was this guy a constellation?
I stroked my chin when I saw the message that appeared as soon as the dwarf raised his hand.
Just like last time, the owners of the floor seemed to show up quite often.
“Don’t you feel uncomfortable even if I say it like this?”
At that moment, the dwarf let out a short sound.
“It seems like you two are receiving a lot of love from the constellations above, so you won’t have any problem hearing what I say directly.”
The dwarf put both hands on his waist.
The King of Swords laughed at the guy’s bold appearance, as if he thought it was a little cute.
“Nice to meet you. Participants. “I am the owner of this floor and the ‘creepy little person’ responsible for the next 10th floor.”
“What, the 10th floor?”
When I heard that it was the 10th floor, my eyes widened.
When a scenario floor appears, sometimes three floors are grouped at once, but this was the first time I had climbed this many floors at once.
Here, the 10th floor means clearing up to the 49th floor, including the 40th floor, at once.
In other words, as soon as this floor ends, we will reach the 50th floor.
Even the Sword King was looking at the constellation in astonishment as if this was the first time something like this had happened.
“Yes, the interest from other constellations in this episode is so great. “I talked to the constellations on the upper floor to unify the floor.”
“What on earth is your intention?”
It was a good story for us, but it wasn’t something to be happy about.
Letting you skip 10 floors at once probably means that the story on that floor is that much harder to clear.
When the two of us, who knew that fact better than anyone else, looked wary, he calmly shrugged his shoulders.
“I don’t have any ulterior motives. This happened because the top constellations wanted to intervene too much. “On this floor, the power of the constellations that protect you will be very important.”
My eyebrows began to furrow when I heard the term “top constellation.”
Are you saying waiting to go up to the 50th floor is boring?
“That’s arbitrary.”
“Isn’t that the way it used to be? “I am a weak constellation when it comes to power, so there is nothing I can do about it.”
I sighed as I looked at Soinbae, who looked as if he had been completely crushed.
Yeah, it’s not a bad story.
10 floors at a time, good.
But there was one problem.
‘That bastard Ha Il-seong and another person who is probably Jin-seon.’
The fact that the 10th floor was integrated at once means that those two guys are also here.
I don’t know the purpose of this guy, who may or may not be Jinseon, so regardless, Ha Il-seong will definitely try to stop us from going beyond the 50th floor.
‘This time, I will definitely be with Ha Il-seong again.’
I clenched my fists.
I knew to some extent what class this guy had.
I looked back at So In-bae, vowing that if I ever met him again, I would unconditionally give him a shit.
“good. It doesn’t matter what. “Tell me the conditions for clearing the floor quickly.”
“Okay. then.”
So In-bae applauded loudly and clapped once.
At that moment, letters began to line up before my eyes.
【’Master of the 40th floor’ ‘Creepy Little Man’ presents the conditions for clearing the 40th floor to you.】
【’Constellation play.’ Welcome to the constellations’ playground. From now on, your body will be reconstructed by the Constellation that has applied for you to participate in the intervention, and you will be born anew. Your abilities will also be released by the constellations, and you may be able to gain new abilities through the constellations. For your information, this world has been destroyed ever since the underground world called the Demon Palace was created! Let’s clear all the floors and save the Earth.】
【Please note that each time you clear one floor of the Demon Palace, a floor of Crown Road is cleared.】
A feast of the words ‘by the constellations’.
“Hey bitch!”
As soon as I read the explanation, I screamed, but the guy had already disappeared before my eyes.
At that moment, the light of Star Heaven Shined stronger than ever.
I felt like I could hear the constellations cheering for a moment.
As described, this is a floor where everything is decided by constellations.
That was the 40th floor.
