Chapter 198 Part 2
Chapter 198 – Tutorial 35th Floor (17) (Part 2)
[The God of Remorse is watching you.]
Was he always watching like this?
The message given by the God of Remorse was the same as the words said by the Demon King.
To look back and regret.
This is not funny.
I exhaled and entered the portal.
Even though I saw that message, I didn’t feel empty, deprived or sense of loss.
* * *
“A design error?”
“Yep.”
Looking at Kiri Kiri who answered me while nodding her head, It felt ridiculous.
“Only ‘yep’? Shouldn’t you explain?”
According to the lesson I learned recently, I took away Kiri Kiri’s cake instead of just urging her, so she told me quickly.
“It is because of the God of Remorse. It’s not my fault!”
She avoided undertaking her responsibility rather than clarify the confusion.
Please explain clearly.
“That stone shouldn’t of come out.”
She was talking about the stone that the goblin king gave me on the 4th stage.
Kiri Kiri was trying to explain as shortly as possible.
I told you to explain clearly.
“It’ll be better if you forget that stone. In addition, you can’t reveal it to the community either.”
“You mean I can’t let anyone else know? Is it okay to control the information like this?”
“You got points as a reward.”
So the 120,000 points was hush money.
“If it’s Houjae you’ll figure it out someday. Don’t be too distracted about it.”
Kirikiri finished speaking and concentrated on the cake again.
The black stone of King Goblin, whose mysterious power had flowed out.
The mysterious power from that stone was still in my body.
“This power won’t cause me harm, correct?”
“Not yet.”
So eventually it will be.
Kiri Kiri… You owe me a punch to the face.
I took her cake and harassed her for 30 minutes, but Kiri Kiri only repeated that she couldn’t tell me the details.
Although I didn’t get the answer I want, harassing Kiri Kiri relieved my stress.
“Hing… My cake is cold…”
Looking at Kiri Kiri who was eating her cake while muttering nonsense, I smiled.
I opened my status window.
The swordsmanship, aura mastery and hyper-sensitivity skills, which had leveled up on the 35th floor, were updated.
When I read this lengthy status window, I felt strange and funny.
I was discontent because it was so short before, but now it was uncomfortable because it was too long.
It was cumbersome.

I asked Kiri Kiri about the God of Remorse after she finished her cake.
The information about Gods are really expensive, but I must find out.
“I suggest you to let it go. Getting entangled in Time-related Gods is no good for people. The God of Remorse, the God of Slow, and the God of Slow are the same.”
Why did she say the God of Slow twice?
“Moreover, not only the God of Remorses’ doctrine is strange, but his personality is terrible. He can manipulate time based on regrets, so he likes digging people’s weaknesses and secrets.”
I remembered something I experienced on the 35th stage.
“So that’s the reason. That black stone is similar. Anyways, don’t mind it. The God of Remorse won’t appear for a while.”
The God of Remorse won’t appear for a while?
Is this related to the message that said that 99 gods were watching me, but not all of the gods in Hundred Gods Temple.
“I really cannot tell you. This information is related to the system and is too expensive.”
Kiri Kiri was so serious that her every pronunciation was correct and accurate.
Instead of questioning in a roundabout way, I passed on to the next question.
There was a question that was not very important but I was curious about.
It was about things that happened after I was poisoned on 17th floor.
I was not totally conscious before I reached the 26th floor.
I woke up a few times with flickering awareness.
It was brief, but I met Myong Myong again on the 19th floor.
Myong Myong fed me some herbs which made me fall into a coma until the 26th floor.
“Humm, it’s not poison. Those herbs were edible.”
Fortunately.
I had thought that Myong Myong was so tender that he wanted to euthanize me rather than watch me suffer from the poison.
I would be upset if this was true.
“The issue was the poison skill rather than the medicine. That skill is strange. Even taking in consideration of its level, it became very bizarre.”
“What are you saying?”
Why did she call other people’s skill bizarre?
“It is because your poison resistance level is high while your poison skill is level 1. You poisoned yourself in waiting room. So a latent period generated in you poison skill.”
“Latent period?”
“Could you describe the symptoms of this poison?”
I nodded my head.
I didn’t really know what my poison was even when I was using it.
Due to the level of my poison resistance, my poison had no effect on me.
“Your poison is special because it makes people lose consciousness and paralyze the sensation rather than threaten their life immediately. Of course this is an extreme poison for normal people which could kill them instantly. So this poison is only effective in putting you into a coma. The latent period of this poison is around 4 or 5 days. Personally, I believe that it depends on the waiting time between the rounds of tutorial. In other words, normal people will die as soon as they touch this poison, but you are Houjae. When the latent period ends, your body begins to necrotize rapidly. This includes the important organs like your heart and your lungs. If so, you die on the spot. Detoxification is almost impossible if not handling it with magic or charms. Ah, what’s more, this poison can infect others through blood.”
I had no idea…… But this, this is terrible.
Seregia said it was more toxic than Hydra’s poison, it’s a perfect biochemical weapon.
