Shoong—

The storage box from before the start of the tutorial appeared in front of me. A window popped up with the list of items I had stored inside.

From the list, I picked three items to take out.

[Aether]

[The armament, Aether, will have its battle prowess restricted by 50%.]

First was Aether.

Aether, which I hadn’t seen in a while was sagging down like a sad slime. I reached out to Aether. When I made contact, Aether twitched like a cute caterpillar before trembling and coiling up my arm.

I smiled at it and took out the next item.

[Smartwatch]

I put the laptop-linked smartwatch on my wrist. Aether seeped into the smartwatch and made it look more elegant. It looked somewhat like a Patek Philippe watch. Aether really had great taste.

[Desert Eagle]

And finally, I grabbed the Desert Eagle. The platinum handle’s coldness and thickness felt too nostalgic.

“Hm….”

I examined the Desert Eagle then tried fusing it with Aether.

Shotgun mode, sniper rifle mode, assault rifle mode… After trying out each mode once, I was able to confirm that the Desert Eagle had one magazine loaded for each form.

One handgun magazine, one assault rifle magazine, two shotgun shells, and five sniper rifle bullets. That was all I had.

“Um, System-nim?”

Feeling like this wasn’t enough, I raised the Desert Eagle, showing it to the Tower’s system that should be watching over me.

The storage box contained a box full of magazines. Of course, since that box had hundreds of bullets in it, I didn’t expect to get the entire thing. Even a small portion of it was enough.

“Um, you see, this is a gun. Although it might be a bit special, a gun can’t be used without bullets…”

I tried to ask just in case.

—Extra7 used Lv.2 Haggling.

—Extra7's Lv.2 Voice of Trust activates.

I was hoping that the system was getting such messages.

“With that in mind, can you give me some extra magazines? I don’t need too many.”

…Even after a long time, the system didn’t reply. Dejected, I put my hand down. It seemed the system couldn’t make an exception.

Just when I was thinking so…

[Considering that this weapon is a gun, your request has been accepted.]

“Oh!”

I bowed respectfully as soon as I heard this message.

[However, we hope that you will not use the 「mysterious power」 you possess at lower levels of the Tower.]

[There is a chance that the administrator of the lower levels will consider it an unfair advantage and punish you accordingly.]

“Understood. Thank you.”

I nodded. The ‘mysterious power’ was most likely referring to Stigma.

It didn’t matter too much since my use of Stigma was restricted anyways. Currently, I could only use two streaks of Stigma at most. Any more than that and my body wouldn’t be able to handle it.

[Magazines will now be transferred over.]

Soon, various magazines appeared in the air.

Two handgun magazines, one assault rifle magazine, three sniper rifle bullets, and six shotgun shells.

Since I only wanted some spares, this was more than enough.

I put them all into my inventory.

[After 24 hours of rest, you will be able to advance to the Tower’s 2nd floor.]

[From now, you may use all system functions.]

[Here is a brief explanation.]

[About the ‘personal waiting room’]

—Normal Entrance

*When there are no hostile Players nearby or when you are not in a combat zone, you can teleport to your waiting room.

—Emergency Teleportation

No matter where you are what or situation you are in, you will teleport to your waiting room. (This function has a cooldown time of 96 hours.)

—Personal Waiting Room Entrance Ticket

You can provide other Players with entrance tickets to your personal waiting room.

[‘Deaths’ in the Tower]

—After the end of the tutorial, Players are given 7 lives in total.

Once killed, Players will revive at the nearest Residential Area and they will receive a penalty that differs based on their circumstance. (Note. If you die on the 2nd floor, you will lose all stat gains you’ve acquired, and you will restart from the tutorial.)

[About the ‘auction house’…]

I already knew everything, and there wasn’t anything new or changed from the original setting.

As such, I turned on my smartwatch. Then, I stared at the egg sitting on my bed.

[???]

I wasn’t able to read the egg’s information with the current Tower system. However…

===

[Lv.6 Muninn’s Egg] [Tower – Mythical]

—The egg laid by Muninn, the Eagle of Memory.

===

My smartwatch could perfectly read the egg’s item description. As I thought, my laptop was superior to the Tower’s system.

“Hm… what do I do now?”

24 hours of rest.

Although it seemed needlessly long, it was actually barely enough to utilize each of the system’s functions. Currently, members of the various guilds should be having conferences together.

“Oh right.”

I remembered something to do.

I unleashed Stigma’s magic power at Muninn’s egg. In case something went horrifyingly wrong and the egg ended up being fried, I infused Stigma’s magic power into the blanket covering the egg rather than directly feeding it to the egg.

As a result, the little blanket nest I made for Muninn’s egg turned incredibly warm.

Next…

“24 hours, huh…”

I lied down on the floor as I thought about what to do.

[Remaining time – 23h 35m 39s]

I couldn’t waste an entire day doing nothing.

I got up once again.

“…I’ll fix up this place until Random Dice’s cooldown ends. Once I get more material using the Random Dice, I’ll start making some equipment.”

I came up with a plan.

“Um, can you please bring up a list of items from the Player Shop that could be used to renovate the waiting room?”

I asked the system which immediately pulled out a list of items from the Player Shop’s ‘miscellaneous’ category.

[Lv.1 Marble Slabs – 30TP]

[Lv.1 Timber – 20TP]

[Lv.1 Warehouse – 300TP]

[Lv.1 Training Room – 500TP]

…

…

“There’s even a training room?”

I bought the marble slabs. I could make a warehouse or a training room myself.

Shoong, shoong—

A bundle of marble slabs was transferred to my waiting room. Although it was only Lv.1, marble was still better looking than wood. I began to tear out the waiting room’s wooden flooring and began to install the marble tiles.

Of course, with my stats being so low, even doing such a menial task took a lot out of me.

[Your strength increases by 0.003 points.]

[Your vitality increases by 0.003 points.]

[Your strength increases by 0.003 points.]

[Your vitality increases by 0.003 points.]

…

Doing the same thing for about six hours, I received many similar alerts.

“…If only I had the Goblin Tablet with me.”

I murmured as I wiped off the sweat from my forehead.

Tiring—

At that moment, a message popped up in front of me.

[Player ‘PhantomThief’ has invited Player ‘Extra7’ to a group chat.]

[Would you like to accept?]

PhantomThief was Jain’s nickname.

It seemed she figured out how to use the messenger system.

I accepted the request.

[Extra7-nim entered the chat room.]

PhantomThief: 「Hey Newbie~」

PhantomThief: 「There’s even a group chat. Isn’t this interesting?」

Goryeo’sStrongest: 「Whadup?」

PhantomThief: 「Look at Cheok Jungyeong trying to type ㅋㅋㅋ what an idiot ㅋㅋ」

Goryeo’sStrongest: 「The screen is too small for my fingers. You’re next to me anyway, so why do I even need to chat?」

[‘Boss’ entered the group chat.]

PhantomThief: 「ㅋㅋㅋ Hey Boss~」

Boss: 「Hi.」

PhantomThief: 「Look, our nicknames are similar.」
