-Clear Condition 2: Once you defeat the boss, Goblin Shaman, a portal to the next stage will appear.  The boss I’m talking about is the Goblin Shaman mentioned here.   If you have the ability to sense strong enemies, wouldn’t it be easy to find the Goblin Shaman?   Just defeat the boss, and then we can proceed through the portal.   Even if the boss is strong, it doesn’t seem like it’s stronger than Choi Ji-won. At best, it would be on a level around 3 ‘Kim Jun-Ho.’   “...”   Surprisingly, Choi Ji-won didn’t give an immediate answer and seemed lost in thought.   She scrutinized my face carefully.   “What... is your purpose? Why are you following me and enduring all this hardship?”   Choi Ji-won used the way of answering questions with more questions.   Until I answer, she won’t open her mouth.   ...What is my purpose?   It’s simple.   “To climb the tower and save the world. To become stronger.”   “Ha.”   Choi Ji-won chuckled softly as if she interpreted my words in her own way.   “Words are easy.”   She turned away cynically.   Sigh.   She asked something that seemed significant, and I thought she would give me important information, but it was just her whim.   As I was picking up rations absent-mindedly...   Thump.   A small wooden box fell in front of me.   Since it was a familiar design, I felt like I knew what was inside without even opening it.   It was a box containing golden beads. But why...   “There was someone like you. In reality, he was at rock bottom, but his gaze was fixed high up in the sky.”   Choi Ji-won said while turning her back to me. Her tone was different from the blunt and tough way she usually spoke; she sounded like an ordinary college student.   “When a crisis comes... just use it. Even if you die for others, it’s still death.”   “...”   “No need to think of it as a favor. I have plenty of beads, so I scatter them here and there.”   With those words, Choi Ji-won casually distanced herself with an indifferent attitude.   Did that woman just give me a precious golden bead?   Once again, I must have overlapped with her father.   I felt a complicated mixture of emotions.   “Wait, wait!”   I had something to say, but Choi Ji-won had already walked far away.   No... I already have three golden beads stashed away...   And the boss... Where is the boss, you damn girl! Why do you keep talking about what you want without answering!   “I don’t know.”   “What?”   “I don’t know. In the first place, finding the boss is my objective.”   On the way back with the rations… The answer to my question about the boss was surprisingly, “I don’t know.”   “Well, you said you can sense strong opponents, right?”   “That’s right.”   Choi Ji-won can roughly sense the location and level of strong opponents.   Hence, she was able to feel the presence of the Minotaur and the mutant goblins.   “The problem is... there is no one in-between.”   “No one in-between?”   “The boss is not as strong as the extremely powerful monster far away, nor should it be weaker than the mutant goblins. But there is no such opponent. My ability doesn’t detect the location of the ’Goblin Shaman.’”   “...”   So, she didn’t know because Choi Ji-won’s radar only worked on opponents above a certain level.   There are two possibilities.   First, the boss may be at a similar level as the mutant goblins, making it hard to differentiate.   In this case, I could just kill all the mutant goblins to find it...   And the second possibility.   The boss... may be so weak that it doesn’t even register on Choi Ji-won’s radar.   “Haah.”   I let out a sigh unknowingly.   I thought Choi Ji-won would know the boss’ location...   One of the reasons I endured so far seemed to disappear. I didn’t go through all this trouble for this.   I’ve already gathered everything I need, and soon the Minotaur will appear too... While considering trying a different route through regression...   “Wait.”   Choi Ji-won stopped me while I was lost in thought.   Her gaze was fixed on a certain tree.   “Come out.”   With a rustle, a man appeared from behind the tree.   “So, what I heard was true.”   The man who revealed himself... was the fireman Ajusshi who led a group of about 20 people and left the vacant lot on the second day.   Was his name Park Cheol-jin? I remember his face was scary, like a tiger.   But what is this ajusshi doing here?   “Are you in charge of the group in the vacant lot?”   “Um, not exactly, but I am responsible for managing it.”   Surprisingly, Choi Ji-won used polite language to the elder. She must be the type who strictly adheres to proper manners.   “...My name is Park Cheol-jin. I was a fireman.”   It seemed difficult for Park Cheol-jin to get the words out.   “You two. I heard you are incredibly strong… We… we need your help.”   “What kind of help?”   “...We found the boss.”   Day 6 after the regression. Daytime.   The plot began to flow differently from the previous regressions.--- END OF THE CHAPTER ---[TL Note: Join Our Discord for regular updates and have fun with other community members: /invite/SqWtJpPtm9]
