“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.”

Others: the God of Slow is quite satisfied.

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.
