“Haah…”

[Yena, calm down…]

[Looks like Yena is super mad, lol]

[Yena, Yena…]

[Can’t blame her; she’s been at it for days without a break.]

[This too shall pass…]

*Kachik!*

Monsters got sliced by the dagger, and Yena, standing above, took a deep breath and touched the air.

The stream from Lily that had been on a moment ago was now off since she went to rest after clearing the altar.

In other words, Lily is currently in the real world.

“I can’t go on like this… just like this…”

Somehow, I made it up to the 75th floor, but beyond that, it’s just too hard.

The further I go, the more bizarre celestial beings and divine creatures pop up, and their level is almost like an intermediate World Boss or higher.

No matter how strong I get, it’s impossible without the Celestial Contract…

And the two who came with me cleared the altar and just took off with all the rewards.

I can’t stand it anymore.

[Yena?]

“Brothers, that’s it for today.”

[Huh?]

[?]

[Where are you going?]

[Are you quitting?]

[No, no, no, no!]

[You have to clear the 100th floor, Yena…]

I’m going to find them.

(Yena on the brink of exploding with anger)

Yena had thrown away a whopping 900 million in experience points to the gacha.

She was shocked to hear that the gacha was rigged, but she decided to keep climbing, believing she could hit level 121 once she cleared the tower.

She needs to climb the tower three times: twice in the existing tower and once in the Ancient Tower (effectively 300 floors).

The difficulty is ridiculously absurd, making it hard enough to just climb, but the problem is that with Lily saying, “There must be trials for rewards…” she raised Yena’s climbing difficulty to an insane level, lol.

(Yena’s Newtube – ‘I was scammed…’ video link)

So here we are, at the end where Lily gets all the rewards without giving any help, and Yena explodes in rage, lol.

I hear she’s going to look for them? Not sure what she’s after though, lol.

─ Hahahaha!

─ Stop bothering Yena… even the real Lily won’t help.

└ If she doesn’t help, what’s the point, lol?

└ Yeah~ she got in your way and now you have to climb on your own~

└ Hahahaha!

└ But Lily is indeed helping, lol. It’s just set at a crazy difficulty, right?

└ This has now become an unchangeable rule of the tower, lol.

└ All hail Lily!

─ Lily’s done some pretty naughty things, but this seems to be the worst by far, fr.

└ For real, lol.

└ To reach level 121, Yena can’t be carried.

└ That’s for sure.

└ Let’s be honest; Yena trying to become 121 is just out of the question. Initially, Lily soloed the Kraken and used items to reach 121.

└ That’s a fair point; does 121 seem like a pipe dream, lol?

└ Lily’s super nice, but expecting help is a bit ungrateful. She could sweep the New Continent and still be too busy.

└ C’mon, help is possible! How long have Lily and Yena known each other?

└ That’s a thing.

─ But what’s she going to look for?

└ No clue, lol.

└ She’s not thinking about looking for Elbrite, is she?

[She isn’t going to look for Lily’s home, right?????]

(This pic of Lily and Yena together at the DCK finals)

If you think about it, everyone knows Lily and Yena are close…

You can deny this pic, but honestly, they’ve probably met in real life, right?

(With all that alien chatter, it sounds way more plausible, lol.)

I mean, if they went to the offline finals together, that implies they’ve met several times already, right?

Besides, Lily said she was going to “move” after starting the streams a few months in, which implies Yena would’ve at least known the address to help her out.

─ Huh?

─ For real, that’s quite likely. The person closest to Lily is probably Yena.

└ For real.

└ Honestly, setting aside the alien stuff, there’s been a lot of talk about how Lily started streaming because of Yena, so she’s probably known her for quite some time.

└ Absolutely, can’t believe how talented Lily suddenly appeared out of nowhere, lol.

└ I’m Lily, and that’s true.

└ Lily wouldn’t use language like that, though.

└ Hahahahaha!

─ Seeing that Deckel has maintained the top gallery for a year, I suddenly feel that Lily is responsible for more than 90% of Deckel’s narratives, and that just makes her even more amazing…

└ Sudden worship going on here.

└ That’s genuinely impressive, isn’t it?

└ Damn, here comes Lily again.

└ Worshiping her, GOAT.

└ Is it worship time already?

└ Worshiping the sword saint too!

└ ?

└ The sword saint is just a legend.

─ Can we not have an offline collaboration?

└ For real, it looks like Yena and Lily are just like Deoen and say, “Let’s do this.”

└ Yena has done her fair share, so it seems very possible, lol.

─ But what’s she going to look for?

└ Whatever that is…

└ Oh no!

└ Wait, Lily, hold on…

└ What’s the hold-up, you crazy people, lol?

└ This is getting ridiculous!

The plan was flawless.

First, a casual outfit, then coffee and a slice of cake from a café just five minutes from her house. Plus a bunch of snacks.

To induce carelessness as if it were just a casual visit, then smoothly invade Miss Lily’s home.

“…So.”

Once inside, I’d chuckle and pout, asking why she did what she did.

Then surely Miss Lily would let out a sigh about how she had no choice but to act that way, but ultimately forgive me.

Then I’d think about surprising her while we shared coffee and snacks casually.

“Why did you do it?”

“……”

No matter how untouchable Lily is, isn’t her strength confined to ‘Deoen’?

As an ordinary person with great athletic abilities in reality, I thought I could pull off a surprise attack, but—

Dangle, dangle.

“Why did you suddenly try to grab me from behind?”

“…that’s just mean.”

“You’re the one being mean, Yena.”

Got caught.

Not superhuman-speed-fast, but she moved like a national athlete, effortlessly pulling me to her with a swift motion.

Seeing her holding onto the back of her own clothing with one hand, I felt utterly captured.

Is she even human?

“Alien! Reveal your identity!”

“…Have I been found out?”

“You evil one! How dare you still call yourself human!”

*Struggling.*

No matter how much I squirmed, Miss Lily didn’t budge.

She chuckled and smiled devilishly.

“If only you’d quietly let it go… But I suppose it can’t be helped now.”

“…! Don’t tell me, a deadly execution…?”

“Indeed. But worry not, I shall use Yena’s land wisely.”

*Whoosh!*

“Ugh—wait a second!!”

In an instant, my body leaned backward!

Feeling the floor rush up to meet me with eyes wide open, my playful intentions vanished, but thankfully, I managed to pause just before hitting the ground.

“Wow…”

And then those blue eyes were looking down at me.

They’re so mesmerizing, I felt as though I might just fall into them.

Even though it’s clearly real, the light seems to radiate from those eyes somehow.

“What were you planning to do?”

“E-eh?”

“What did you come here to do?”

What to do…

Yena pondered for a moment.

I came here in a fit of rage, but for some reason, looking into those two eyes made my anger dissipate.

An utterly absurd face.

“…I just came because I was mad. I was going to ask why you did what you did if I caught you.”

“I had no choice but to do it for you, Yena.”

“Was that really the only way?”

“Yes.”

Such a straightforward answer from Miss Lily.

It’s infuriating, but she’s done enough to back it up that I don’t have much to say.

Even if she puts it that way, what she says must hold truth.

“…I’m really struggling here.”

“I know.”

“Do you know and still do it?”

“It’s a tough road, after all.”

*Thud.*

My head touches the floor entirely.

It feels like a solid floor, but suddenly it’s quite soft, like there’s a cushion down.

“Having become a Celestial, I realized that it’s really not achievable with just anything. Even Lord Leo had tons of Celestial Contracts and even Celestial-grade ones, yet he still couldn’t become one.”

“Oh, are you talking about Zeus? I was so envious when I saw that!”

“Exactly.”

He took out a middle-grade World Boss-level pet with him.

Even though I didn’t hit 121, I was envious every time I saw it.

And the fact that we cleared the initial rewards together and split them was great too.

“It’s a really challenging path, tough enough that even someone like Lord Leo couldn’t become a Celestial. It’s essential for you to become one if you want to hit level 121.”

“Can’t I climb without a Celestial Contract?”

“Not necessarily, but the odds of hitting 121 become pretty slim.”

“……heh heh.”

Heh heh heh heh heh.

“Do you regret it?”

“Quite a bit? Still… since you did it for me, it’s somewhat my fault as well…”

In the end, all this was caused by my unreasonable desire to level up.

When you think about it, Miss Lily was the one who revealed the scam and suggested solutions.

Even though I could have gotten a better reward if I had added more money, I chose experience instead.

It wouldn’t be fair to blame Miss Lily even more in this situation.

Yeah! I just need to try harder from now on!

The streams are doing well, and I’m going to gain back a spot in the top 10 ranking soon, so there’s truly no need to be angry—

“But becoming a Celestial might take a while.”

“…Why’s that?”

“I told the Master of the Tower not to accept anyone but those who can bring a substantial story. It seems unlikely unless it’s a ‘God’ level myth…”

“Is it okay to curse?”

“Not at all.”

Miss Lily gives a sly smile.

She’s definitely a devil!

This human is clearly an evil one!
