The Solo Clear Chapter: 22

Moments later, No. 1 and 2 completely stopped working.

As soon as I removed the metal plate, I saw a different colored electrical circuit all spinning inside.

But, when I checked their heads, I saw a small chip.

"You have mechanical systems No. 1 and No. 2."

I didn't know how to use it, but I decided to take it as a memento just in case it would come in handy.

Moreover, it was proof that I survived the second stage.

"That's bright."

Maybe it was because it was so dark over the past few days, but the sunlight stung my eyes.

The undead corpse I just fought has vanished somewhere.

I assumed that the portal to the third stage would appear soon, so I just stood in front of the fortress, but.

Managers must have forgotten about their duties and had to do something else.

I began to get upset after standing in the hot sun for too long so I went inside the house to avoid the heat.

***

This was the first time the two of them were with the First Manager, so they looked at themselves in the mirror before knocking on the door.

"Please come in."

The room has only two sofas and a round table that sits between the sofas.

It was a simple room that did not have any interesting decorations.

"I got your report. The survivor cleared the second stage of the grave, right?"

"Yes, that's right."

The way the First Manager spoke had dignity and grace caused the 13th Manager to check his behavior first before sitting down.

"Now that I think about it, there aren't many people in the world cleaning up graves."

"Yes, it's probably because their surroundings suddenly changed and they were unable to adapt to it and also, there were many cases where the survivors fought between them and killed each other."

The second stage is divided into sections and the cemetery is known to have a low completion rate.

Moreover, the survivors who were part of the fortress were required to work together, so that the competence of one person could decide the outcome of the battle.

"I heard they raised the difficulty level, but they managed to solve it easily."

"It was probably because they were already strong from the first stage .. Moreover, after they dropped the skeletons in front of the destruction, the gears they obtained were the best quality items at that stage."

The 13th Manager continued to explain the situation, but the First Manager was so shocked that they kept reading the report over and over again.

"If they are able to finish the grave, it means they are receiving pa.s.sing value for their mentality."

"That sounds right."

"Next stage?"

The first manager handed the documents to them.

It concerns the production of the next stage.

"Are you thinking about sending them here?"

After they finished reading it, the 13th Manager returned it with a stern expression.

It was a strange stage that lacked balance and was filled with the preferences of the manager.

Besides, everyone agrees to it.

"How about sending the victim you're responsible for here?"

The 13th manager could not hide his confused expression.

There was no way of knowing their motives, but the smiles they had on their faces seemed sneaky.

"It takes at least a week to make the stage and leave the survivors during that time against the policy …"

"Excuse me?"

The First Manager took out a cube containing a small hologram.

"If he were to proceed to the third stage with his current skills, he would be able to clear it out without any problems. Moreover, he was learning a Skill Breaker. I want to support him."

The 13th manager looked confused.

There were stronger humans, so a stage was created to help them become stronger.

The First Manager's plan cannot be considered wrong.

The survivor, Kang Jin Woo, has already maintained a 200% growth rate, which is well above average.

Even among the large group of survivors, he stood out and was considered one of the best.

However, when there were survivors above 150%, the First Manager was never interested, so it was strange that he was interested in Kang Jin Woo.

"Um, is it okay if I ask what you're planning?"

"If it goes according to your plan, then this survivor may be …"

"Most likely they will take a long time to return to the real world, right? Why, are you worried?"

As if he was asking her not to ask such questions, the 13th Manager pouted slightly.

"I'm sorry, but after seeing how the other managers started making fun of you like this, I'd like to give it a try as well."

"Please careful. It's not good to hear from my point of view."

Of the 13 managers, there were only three who were female and as the youngest, the other managers pretended to like them, but they actually made fun of them.

"Hm, back to reason ... Of the top-ranked survivors, I believe that it is time to choose the useful ones. The others had their own clans and groups, so it was difficult, but these survivors were alone. They probably wouldn't complain even if we threw them to a remote location. "

"Are you not accepting this too easily?"

"If he becomes stronger, then my performance will improve, so there is no reason to oppose him."

The stronger Kang Jin Woo becomes, the more his position will remain among the other managers.

Moreover, depending on his efforts during this stage, he would be several steps ahead of the other survivors he had fought.

"Then it's decided."

***

Even after an hour, they did not open the portal.

"Ahem, I'm sorry for my delay. Now I will activate the portal for Kang Jin Woo, who survived the second stage pa.s.sed."

The manager appeared after clearing his throat and they hurriedly opened the portal as if they were feeling bad.

I wonder what the next stage will look like and hope that it will not be as severe as the second stage.

After passing through the purple vortex path and walking across, I ended up on a mountain peak that I did not know his name.

"… Ack."

As the air became thinned suddenly, I began to lose consciousness as if I was suffering from an alt disease.

I saw my breath coming out of my lips.

I wonder what they're gonna do here.

Unlike the second stage, this one has no buildings near Me.

"If you spend 30,000 hours here, you will complete the third stage."

"What ... did you say? Can you say it again?"

I hated the sudden information they gave me, so I asked the manager to give a more detailed explanation.

It was as if they had already left that place, my surroundings became extremely silent.

"30,000 hours .. I think it's 1,250 days. Three years and two days."

I became level-headed and started counting the time I had to spend here.

There is no way for me to know their motives.

"First .. I had to look around to see if I could find anything. Right ... Let's find something."

I learned from experience that although I expressed frustration, it was of no use here.

I thought that there might be something under the mountain, so I decided to start exploring this stage.
