After passing through the crowd, we finally arrived at the cafe, where I saw familiar faces.
“Hahaha. Welcome!” The Inquisitor, the leader of the Pantheon, waved his right arm. “I can’t believe you actually cleared all those floors and the twentieth floor in five days! It’s the greatest thing I’ve ever seen since the Tower appeared. I deeply respect you, Mr. Kim Gong-Ja. Wait, I should call you Death King now!”
“I’m still wondering if I’m dreaming, though…” The Paladin sipped on her iced coffee. “To be honest, I thought you, the Black Dragon Master, and the Sword Star would fail and end up dead. You even cleared the twentieth floor on your own, right? If you have a secret to your success, please share.”
“Secrets…” I sat by the table. “Things work out if I live a kind life.”
“That’s very practical advice.” The Paladin smiled bitterly.
“It’s good to see you again. It’s been a while—how have all of you been?” I asked.

“But this kid has many tricks up his sleeve.” The Viper, the one-eyed Hunter who led the OJP Sect, tousled the Inquisitor’s hair. “We obediently let them lock us up and then escaped from the prison. Tsk. Seriously, that was crazy.”
“Hahaha! Wasn’t it fun? I didn’t expect a hidden passageway like that in the dungeon! That brought me back to my childhood!”
“Huh? You said that the Bulgarian mafias held you captive when you were young.”
