“What are you thinking about?”

“Just some things . ”

“Talk about it . If you can relieve my boredom, I’ll reward you within reason . ”

The attitude of the Demon King didn’t change .

He seemed to have an abundance of time .

His attitude still shocked me .

I looked down on him and the other demons .

Although they were born with powerful body and mana, they weren’t able to utilize it to its fullest potential . I thought they weren’t worthy of them .

“Talk, quickly . ”

“It’s just interesting . ”

“What’s interesting?”

I was going to tell these curious demons .

Though, I was not sure whether they could understand .

Challengers have a chance at various opportunities after the 35th floor .

There were many opportunities for challengers to regret and be frustrated of their past .

It also meant that the stages of the tutorial forced challengers to make various choices .

The stage’s setting is really clever .

Challengers would feel injustice when their strength is stolen and they are returned to the beginning of the tutorial .

Because of that, challengers would ignore the results and only focus on the process .

My current growth and effort is regretful .

If I had worked harder and found a direction that I hadn’t come up with before, would I be better than what I am now?

I have regrets about the relationships with people I met in the stages .

I should have improved my social relationships .

I regret that I thought the strength I gained in the tutorial completely belonged to me .

This stage made people feel remorseful for the past by returning to the fragments of their past .

“I don’t understand your words . ”

“It doesn’t matter . You don’t have to understand it . ”

The eyes of Demon King twinkled .

He was interested .

“So what are you gonna do . What do you feel in such regrets?”

“Nothing . The past is the past . ”

I must confess that my displeasure to the designer of this stage has gotten stronger .

“Interesting . I can’t feel regrets inside your heart . There are only urgent desires . You’re interesting . ”

I asked the giggling Demon King what he was laughing at .

“I don’t think it’s possible to have no lingering feelings about a regretful past . Aren’t you curious? Don’t you wonder, deep inside, that maybe you’re fooling yourself . ”

“No . ”

“Ahhhh, you are too decisive . You should think about it carefully and then discuss your questions with me . ”

That’s how you fall into a mire .

I felt this on the 26th floor, this Demon King’s mental capabilities are superior to his physical capabilities .

“Well then, show me your evidence . ”

“Evidence! You ask for evidence, you really amuse me . ”

Only when we gained results, is the process meaningful .

If my strength disappeared and the results were erased, I could take it as a process and draw some results .

The journey on the 35th floor was not just for me to look back into the past .

The design of the 35th floor and Kiri Kiri’s advice was to escape and survive, but I fought .

I didn’t want to take all of my accomplishments as meaningless processes while having this weak body .

I took it as a test where I faced a wall with no strength and I needed to regain that strength in order to get over this stage .

This is the point where I finish .

When I couldn’t run away, I would use the light sword in front of the Demon King and succeed .

I set this goal back when I was on the first floor .

“Light sword . ”

I didn’t have a sword, not even a wooden stick, but I used my light sword appropriately and skillfully .

Because my most powerful weapon was me .

When the bright light faded, what I could only see was the corpse of a Demon King who abruptly died .

[Tutorial, 35th floor of Hell difficulty has been cleared perfectly . ]

[All status ailments and injuries were restored . ]

[You got 7000 points as a reward . ]

[You got 7000 points as the first clear reward . ]

[Most of the Gods had positive reactions . You got 7700 points . ]

[Most of the Gods had negative reactions . You lost 1200 points . ]

[99 gods in the Hundred Gods Temple are watching you . ]

[The God of Slow is quite satisfied . ]

[You’ll get an extra reward according to your play records . ]

[You got 120,000 points as an extra reward . ]

I made it .

With this useless body, I succeeded in honing the skill to use the light sword in only 24 days .

Since I proved the results, I had also proven the process .

I don’t feel fulfilled by that fact anymore .

Just as the Demon King had said, only desires surged .

I stood for a while and calmed down .

A portal appeared in front of me after only a few minutes into the 34th floor .

It seemed that I had passed all of the 34 floors, so I didn’t have to wait for 34 hours .

What a relief .

Before I went out from the stage, I looked at the clear messages once again .

I found that not all of the gods in the Hundred Gods Temple, but 99 gods were looking at me .

Why only 99 Gods .

There were 100 gods before .

I have to ask Kiri Kiri .

And the 120,000 reward point was also strange .

This was really strange .

The unit was hundred or thousand before, but it jumped to hundred thousand now .

However, no matter why, this is a good thing .

“Condition window . ”

If I cleared the 35th floor, what would happen to the skills I gained during it?

Did they just disappear?

I indeed obtained something from the 35th floor, but it was still regretful .

I stopped thinking and walked toward the portal .

At that time, an awful, terrible feeling cropped up from my neck .

It was ominous rather than dangerous .

The gaze that pierced me seemed as if it was natural and supposed to be there .
