TSOT#1 Chapter 30
by RenJae-rim and Joo-ah quickly left the training center and headed straight to the third tower.
When summoned by the Special Awakener Association, Hunters were required to reach the tower within 30 minutes.
“Hunter Seo Joo-ah.”

“Yes.”
As they hurriedly walked toward the third tower, Jae-rim asked,
“Do you remember how to ascend a tower from what you learned at the academy? Tell me what comes to mind.”

Joo-ah answered calmly,
“There are three ways to ascend a tower: completing quests to obtain train tickets, climbing the stairs directly, and using teleportation magic.”
“Which method do Hunters commonly use?”

“Completing quests to obtain train tickets.”
Jae-rim nodded at her answer and continued, “That’s correct. The other methods come with significant limitations. On the other hand, descending the tower is relatively easier. At specific intervals, trains stop at the platforms without the need for additional quests. However, one must not let their guard down just because they’re on the train.”

“Because monsters also appear on the trains?”
Joo-ah interjected before he could finish, her voice cutting through the conversation. Jae-rim glanced briefly over his shoulder at her and smiled faintly as he replied,
“Exactly. Of course, if you secure a good compartment through your ticket, you can avoid monster encounters. But most of the time, it depends on luck.”

Additionally, defeating the boss would eliminate all monsters within the tower, allowing for a safer journey on the train.
Jae-rim asked a few more questions on their way to the third tower, and Joo-ah answered them with ease.

For someone with years of experience serving in elite units, Jae-rim’s questions were child’s play to her.
“We’re finally heading into a tower for the first time. How does it feel?”

Upon their arrival at the scene, Yeon-joo, who had already taken care of the surrounding monsters, smiled and asked.
Joo-ah responded with an eager expression,
“I’m nervous.”

Not because it was her first time, but because it had been so long since she last entered a tower. Almost three years had passed since her defeat by the administrator. This was her first return.
“Of course, you should be nervous. You’re taking on the third tower, which is no small feat,” Yoo Chan-hee remarked as he strolled over leisurely, having arrived slightly after Jae-rim and Joo-ah.

The highest-level monster in the third tower was B-ranked. For someone like Joo-ah, a D-ranked, ascending such a tower would have been impossible without her high-ranking teammates.
“Are you ready, Hunter Seo Joo-ah?” Yeon-joo asked.

Jae-rim and Chan-hee both turned to look at Joo-ah, who met their gaze calmly and nodded.
“Yes.”

With Joo-ah’s affirmation, Yeon-joo led the way to the tower entrance. A dry breeze seemed to blow through the pervasive darkness.
As Joo-ah followed slowly, Jae-rim spoke in a low voice beside her,
“A little nervousness is good, but there’s no need to worry too much.”

Joo-ah turned her head to look at him. Jae-rim met her gaze with a serene expression and offered a faint smile.
“You’re not alone, Hunter Seo Joo-ah.”
He was reassuring her that she could rely on her team.

Joo-ah nodded.
“Thank you, Hunter Shin Jae-rim.”
After a brief pause, she glanced at Chan-hee, who was trailing behind them lazily, and added,
“Unlike some people, you’re genuinely kind.”

Her tone was pointed, and Chan-hee let out a scoff of disbelief but didn’t retort.
The moment they stepped into the tower entrance, a blue system window appeared before them.

┗ Still no news on the #1 rank? (21)
Apparently, the disappearance of Hunter Kwon Eun-young made international headlines? Even Chocolate Times covered it. The whole world’s going crazy.

Well, that’s because Hunter Kwon Eun-young was a top-ranked Hunter globally.
┗ What was her global rank?
┗ I think she was ranked 28th internationally while being 1st in Korea.
┗ Is 28th globally impressive?
┗ Of course! Someone ranked 28th globally could take down S-grade monsters with a flick of their finger.
┗ Wow, that’s amazing…

It feels like something out of a movie… Who took her?
All those police cars, but they still can’t find her?

By the way, is Hunter Kwon Eun-young still ranked #1? I thought Hunters unable to fight were removed from the rankings.
┗ The Association website still lists her as #1.
┗ What? That’s odd. Hunter Yoo Chae-rin disappeared from the rankings but recently reappeared.
┗ That’s why people are speculating that Hunter Kwon Eun-young might have awakened again.
Another post caught her attention:

┗ Barely escaped a gate and saw the chairman (51)
(Photo)
┗ I risked my life running from monsters and took this photo of the chairman’s back LOL. He was with some pretty Hunter. I didn’t notice, but there were two dead monsters near the Hunter.

Joo-ah’s photo was evidently taken on the day Yoo Chae-rin had mentioned the community’s buzz. Though her face was visible, the distance made it hard to make out details. She sighed in relief and closed the community tab before checking her stats.

Her stats, depleted from training, were fully restored. Yeon-joo explained,
“Time in the tower flows differently from the outside world. One day here equals about an hour outside. That’s why Hunters can defeat bosses quickly. But remember, it feels like days for us in here.”
Yeon-joo added that lower physical needs in the tower led Hunters to betray teammates or ignore their own mortality, driven solely by the urge to climb higher.

At that moment, a small beam of light emerged from the darkness, forming into a white rabbit in a tailcoat.
Joo-ah’s expression hardened as she stared at the figure.

Rabbit: “Welcome! I am the Storyteller, tasked with overseeing the operations of the six towers.”
Joo-ah’s gaze sharpened as she studied the creature. Despite its polite demeanor, it was unmistakably a monster.

Rabbit: “Oh my, such ferocious eyes for someone of such low rank! I like your spirit. Keep it up, little Hunter.”
As Joo-ah’s frown deepened, Yeon-joo stepped forward.
Yeon-joo: “Enough with the theatrics. Just give us the quest already.”

The rabbit chuckled.
Rabbit: “Would you like to ascend the tower by train once more?”
Chan-hee replied lazily,
Chan-hee: “Obviously. Why ask?”

The rabbit’s red eyes narrowed mischievously.
Rabbit: “Very well. Let’s begin with a simple game for your tickets.”
With a flourish of its hand, the barren space transformed into a sprawling maze.

Rabbit: “Your quest: find the treasure chest within 30 minutes. Success grants you train tickets; failure leaves you trapped here forever.”
Its sinister grin revealed sharp teeth as it disappeared into the maze.
