《New Ranking Update!》
《New rankers are entering the rankings in large numbers!》
[Country: Republic of Korea ― Babel Tower 40th Tutorial Final Conclusion]
[Babel Tower floor entry restrictions have been lifted.]
[Local rankings will undergo a large-scale update.]
It starts with the World Alert of the Babel Network. Followed by notifications on local channels ringing one after another.
The 40th tutorial of the Korean Babel Tower has concluded. The results report followed accordingly.
Normally, this is just a routine that had become so familiar from repeated views by everyone, messages that would normally be overlooked due to their mundane nature.
However, it was different this time.
The hurried footsteps of people on the street came to a halt, and the attention of those who were concentrating on their tasks was awakened by…
Immediately followed by the sound of exclamations. Someone inside the bus muttered,
“This….”
It wasn’t the signal of victory due to completing a raid, and there’s only one case when the trumpet sounds in Babel.
[Congratulations, Korea!]
[A new S-Rank Awakened is born in the Republic of Korea.]
[Local Rankings ― New Entry into the Top 10!]
Coincidentally, the bus stopped at the station where they had to get off.
Thud, the sound of slippers hitting the ground.
In front of the crosswalk on Gangnam Street. The gaze of people all directed towards one place. Jioh’s gaze followed them.
As soon as they got off, breaking news on the front billboard caught their eyes.
And beyond that, the magical characters enveloping the black tower and the black outer wall of the tower piercing through the sky.
“What is this…? It’s already surprising that the fifth S-rank is born, but entering the top 10 right after debut.”
“Hey, hey, is this the first time since the Magic King?”
“What? No, there’s also Bambi and LateNightSnackKing. Their first entry were quite high too.”
‘No.’
Choi David, Bambi, and LateNightSnackKing all ranked outside the top 10 when they first debut. By then, the first and second generation Awakeners had already secured their positions in the rankings. So, this is truly the ‘first’ time it happens since her debut.
Among the murmurs of the citizens, Jioh added magic to her eyes. She looked at the Babel Tower.

‘Wow. It’s truly the birth of a supernova.’
Despite his appearance, he was very passionate from the beginning. Well a quiet and calm regressor is still a regressor.
Looking at the way he acted, it seemed like he had some plan, but this is at a level that surpasses Jioh’s expectations by leaps and bounds.
‘Butler Baek, you seem to be more than I initially thought.’
Suddenly, the shock of our first meeting comes to mind and she felt sick.
Jioh’s complexion suddenly darkened. It was the annoying and incurable allergy reaction, a chronic illness.
‘Ugh… right, he also has that failed something title.’
She was actually planning to invite him to an ice cream parlor after his confinement period at the Hwaseong Training Center ended. But now…
Baek Dohyun’s favorability gauge plummeted.
If stock investors saw this, it was a shocking drop to the point where they would be astonished. “Indeed, first impressions matter….”
“Why? Do you know him?”
“No, no. Not at all. I heard of him for the first time. I absolutely don’t know him. But he seems quite unpleasant. He looks really annoying.”
Goodbye, Butler Baek. Adios!
Jioh denied all connections to him. She threw it away decisively. In response to that firm denial, Geumhee looked at the billboard again.
“Is that so? He looks really good. Handsome and clean. It’s been a long time since I felt someone looked handsome.”
“Really? If you look closely, his eyes are probably looks like a puppy, too shiny and big. He’s not that handsome.”
“….?”
“When he’s next to you, you feel like you have to live properly, and you feel like you have to work extremely hard… What’s with that? It’s scary. I don’t like it. Ugh.”
‘…Isn’t that really nice?’
Although Geumhee’s face looking down at her sister became cloudy, Jioh was serious. She nodded a few times and continued muttering.
“Oh, right!”
She rummages through her pocket with a sigh.
Geumhee also knew that it was only an act of opening the inventory. Jioh is not the type of person who carries things in her pocket.
“I missed the timing because of that. Here, take this.”
“What is this?”
“Carry it around. No, wear it. Wear it as accessories at school, it’s not against the rules, right? No. Even if it is, just wear it.”
Clang-
Geumhee examined the item she received. A necklace drew a horizontal line between her fingers. A thin silver chain necklace.
As a decoration, there was a small pendant, the size of only a coin. Looking closely… it seemed like there were inscriptions carved on it.
“What’s written on it? Rune?”
“It’s much older than runic characters.”
All around them, people were laughing and chatting.
Gazing at the ordinary and peaceful scenery, Jioh recited in a low and calm voice. “[You as me, and me as you. Protect each other from crisis and hardships.]”
“….”
“[Even in the face of death, never turn away.]”
“….”
A long time ago, it was an oath of the triplet ancient gods. So, even in the midst of war, they could leave together at the same moment.
“Ah….”
“Will you wear it?”
Geumhee found herself tightly holding the necklace in her hand. The answer was sufficient.
Jioh smiled and approached.
Then, bending towards her youngest sister, who was holding her chin up, she personally hung the three commandments around her neck.
[This item is permanently bound when worn.]
[Do you want to designate it to the specified user?]
[Divine Decree of the Holy Being]
[― Third User: Gyeon Geumhee
“Did the information window appear?”
“Yeah.”
“Geumgeum, I won’t say things like ‘I’ll do everything if you just say it’ anymore, since you seem fed up with it. If the big bad really seems dangerous, what then?”
“I got it. Can I break this if I need help?”
“Yes.”
Of course, it’s best if such situations never arise… but having insurance doesn’t hurt.
Regardless of what anyone says, this is a dangerous era.
We are living in this strange world where that eerie black tower splits the sky, and stars are still floating even during the day.
The pedestrian crossing light changed.
Jioh stretched and reached out her hand. To her much taller but still much younger sister.
“Let’s go, our youngest. Let’s have a meal with your sister.”
✧
The sword seat of judgment.
The sworn one who safeguards order and justice from evil, a servant of the star!
Why do you break the covenant and attempt to forsake your star?
The ■■■’s hourglass is not meant for you.
“I haven’t forsaken you. ■■■ has agreed. ■■■■, she has.”
How foolish.
You have not yet failed, so go back and fulfill your mission.
“What is the criterion for failure? What is the mission! I have nothing left.”
Pass judgment.
“…Stop babbling, damn it! Judgment? Everything I had to condemn or protect has already passed! So I climbed up here enduring this damn journey!
Fulfill the remaining mission.
“Shut up! All that’s left is only regret and hatred! You are the one who should do what needs to be done! ■■■■!”
There’s nothing left.
There’s nothing left, I…
“You’ve got guts. Even dared to dozed off.”
Kriikkk. The sound of a metal chair scraping the floor.
Baek Dohyun opened his closed eyes. Bright lights, and then…
“The fifth S-rank, huh. No regrets. Even if it’s formal, an interview is still an interview.”
“….”
“Well, it’s not just the fifth one. Entering the top 10 in the first debut. Huh, I haven’t even done that before.”
“….”
“No words? Why?”
“….”
“A one-on-one meeting with Gyeon Jirok… That’s what you asked for isn’t it?”
A cynical smile as if mocking that’s unique to him. Wavy black curly hair, unique lip dots. More like the appearance of a decadent rock band than a young ruler who secured his territory.
But he is the young boss, the youngest among the leaders of the top 5 guilds in Korea.
The young boss of Babylon, Gyeon Jirok.
“I came as you wished.”
And before the regression…
Baek Dohyun was also his sworn brother.
