[TS] Became a Peach Saint – Chapter 191

When I threw the monster I was holding, it coughed for a while and then glared at me fiercely.

“Are you bragging about pulling it out?”

─Tsk, tsk.

“Hoo─”

The guy who had been glaring at me started flapping his wings little by little.

Bang!

In an instant, the angel spread its wings wide and bounced toward me.

In games, the tutorial is a system designed to help players progress in the early stages.

Even though this place shouldn’t be any different, the angel’s movements are blindingly fast.

Kwang!

As I grabbed the fist that was quickly coming at me, the angel made a shocked expression.

“Huh, how can a player who hasn’t even started the tutorial…?”

“Go home and ask.”

Kwang─!!

When I hit the guy’s stomach, his body floated in the air before flopping down to the ground.

Ding!

◇Achievement

Grip strength increased by 5%

[Defeated an Angel]

Movement speed increased by 5%

───

“Oh.”

I could feel my strength increasing significantly. There was a reason Yu Bit-na called this the Land of Opportunity.

Even though I only hit monsters, my stats were rising sharply.

I had no idea such a great place existed.

They say there’s a limit to how strong you can get on the ground. Especially after level 50, the experience needed to level up becomes ridiculously high, which is why so many people flock here.

Those thirsty for strength, those who failed to get good awakening skills—everyone has a reason to risk their lives climbing the tower.

[A new tutorial conductor is being summoned]

As the system message rang out, the air split open, and a winged monster slowly emerged.

“I am the tutorial conduc—”

Kwang─!!

“Guhk!”

The angel’s belly jolted as it floated in the air before collapsing to the ground.

“Hoo─”

Cigarette smoke rose into the air and scattered.

“Why isn’t this one dropping anything?”

《The Divine Seats are unable to hide their shock》

[A new tutorial conductor is being summoned]

“I am—”

Kwang─!!

[A new tutorial—]

Kwang─!!

“Baekseol, hold on tight so you don’t fall.”

“Exciting!”

Baekseol, who was on my shoulder, licked my cheek.

“Hoo─”

At some point, the tower, which had been continuously spitting out monsters, stopped summoning.

“What, give me monsters.”

《The despairing ones laugh hysterically, saying a lunatic has entered the tower》

“If you don’t give me any, I’ll slice open pigeon bellies, huh? Take out the magic stones?”

[A new tutorial conductor is being summoned]

Kwang─!!

“Guhk.”

Fortunately, the threat worked, and it spat out another monster.

“Hoo─ next.”

Zzzzt.

A noise sounded as the gate opened again.

[The manager of the tutorial floor is being summoned]

Kwang─!!

Something thin and warm wrapped around my outstretched fist as it slowly walked out of the gate.

“Huh? Is the monster blocking me?”

“I am not a monster.”

The figure who walked in with closed eyes slowly opened them.

Golden eyes, as if holding the radiant sun, slowly revealed themselves between the eyelids.

The angel, now with eyes open, spread its 12 pure white wings.

“My name is Ariel.”

At the same time, a golden wave-like light swirls violently.

“Ariel… Land?”

“It’s not Ariel Land, it’s Ariel.”

《The divine beings, seeing the Tutorial’s manager for the first time, cannot hide their surprise.》

For some reason, even though it’s the first time seeing her, she feels familiar.

Ariel, with her snow-white skin and golden wings, looks like the very embodiment of holiness in this world.

Ariel’s golden eyes turn toward the angels sprawled on the ground.

“Player Han Ga-eul. For the smooth progress of the Tutorial, I ask that you stop.”

“They started it, though?”

She nudges an angel on the ground with her foot, and it twitches.

*Tick.*

A fallen cigarette butt spits out a spark.

Even though she keeps doing things that would obviously piss anyone off, there’s no change in her expression.

*Chik, chik.*

“Phew— I have a question. Do these guys have magic stones too?”

“No.”

Despite looking like she smells like sunshine, her tone is ice-cold.

“Then can I cut them open?”

“Why does it always come to that?”

“They’re my monsters since I caught them.”

“Angels are not monsters.”

As she takes a step closer to Ariel, their gazes meet calmly.

“To humans, these brats are all monsters.”

“Player Han Ga-eul, are you a speciesist?”

“F***ing racism.”

She attacks with sensitive topics, cheaply.

This angel, who must have eaten some ink, has a sharp tongue.

“But, you keep calling me ‘Player.’ What’s that about?”

“There’s an angel lying on the ground who should have finished explaining by now.”

“Aha.”

“Because of Player Han Ga-eul, Tutorials in other waiting rooms are also being delayed. This is an unprecedented situation in the Tower.”

I thought the hunters in the wide hall were the end, but it seems there are other spaces too.

“Ah, but what do you want me to do? Is there a law in the Tower that says you can’t beat up angels who pick fights?”

“The Tower operates on rules and covenants. Therefore, it is not a rule of law, so such a law does not exist.”

“Really? Then go ahead and proceed. Just don’t touch my prey—I caught them fair and square.”

“…I acknowledge that. However, for the smooth progress, I request that you return the angels.”

“With nothing in return?”

Ariel’s golden eyes meet hers without a flicker.

“State your demands.”

“You, wanna be mine?”

《The Demon of Three Tans tells his subordinate to hurry up and pop some popcorn.》

Ariel’s eyebrows, which had shown no expression until now, twitch slightly.

“I am Seraphim, the celestial scribe who records the will of the divine. I cannot accept Player Han Ga-eul’s request.”

“Then I just have to beat up that so-called divine being, right?”

“That is blasphemy.”

She puts out her cigarette and takes another step closer to Ariel, close enough to feel her breath.

“Player Han Ga-eul. If you climb the Tower, you can have everything.”

“That sounds nice. Does ‘everything’ include you?”

“I am of the female form.”

“Even better.”

As she wraps her hand around Ariel’s slender waist, she feels a warm body temperature. Contrary to her expectations, Ariel doesn’t resist and leans into her.

She brings her nose to Ariel’s neck and smells the warm scent of sunshine.

*Chu.*

“Eek.”

As she kisses her neck, Ariel, who had been still, trembles for the first time.

“Smells like sunshine.”

“…an angel. I already licked you with my spit.”

“…..”

“Take the trash away.”

《The Divine Beings are munching on popcorn together.》

Ariel, who had been expressionlessly fiddling with her neck, flicks her fingers.

A gate appears, and an angel with a pair of wings emerges.

“Next time, let’s meet on the bed, you arrogant Sunny.”

“…My name is Ariel.”

“Yeah, Ariel Land.”

The angel with a pair of wings bows deeply to Ariel and then walks toward the podium.

At the same time, Ariel disappears along with a swirling light.

“I can’t wait to see how cute the arrogant Sunny cries on the bed.”

《The one engulfed in flames says they’re also looking forward to it.》

《The Demon of Samtan raises his thumb, saying he knows what’s up.》

“Why are you guys looking forward to it? I’m not going to show you.”

《The Demon of Samtan yells, asking if anyone has seen a demon like this.》

《The one drinking alcohol protests, calling this tyranny.》

《The one holding sand sponsors 100P, saying good things should be shared.》

“Just 100 points?”

《The one holding sand says this is the limit for tutorial players and that there’s nothing they can do.》

Yu Bit-na didn’t like it from the moment they called her a toy or a chess piece.

If she gets the chance, she feels like she should suck the marrow out of those Divine Beings.

《The Maiden of the Stars frowns.》

“A maiden? Are you a virgin?”

《The Chocolate Stone Monkey laughs hysterically, saying you’re more of a nutcase than they are.》

《The Maiden of the Stars reveals her hostility.》

Clap clap.

While the self-proclaimed Divine Beings were chatting, the angel who walked to the podium claps their hands.

“I am the host in charge of the tutorial.”

The angel waves their hand, and weapons appear in a corner of the grand hall.

The hunters, even though they already have weapons, naturally swarm over and pick one each. It seems like unless it’s a really good weapon, they consider it disposable.

No matter how much energy you wrap around those weapons, they’ll break like candy sticks.

Among them, the long iron club looks sturdy.

“Climbers of the Tower are called players, and they ascend toward the upper floors by overcoming various trials. As they climb, they will collect points, which can be exchanged for useful items or used as currency.”

It seems the points sent by the Divine Beings are used in this way.

“Now, we will begin the first tutorial.”

After a brief explanation, the angel waves their hand without further ado.

The grand hall disappears, and a vast grassland appears.

Ding!

───

[First Tutorial]

Players will hunt in the beginner hunting ground.

Each prey has different points to earn, and the player with the most points will be ranked accordingly.

◇Hunting: Earn designated points.

◇Obtaining a player mark: Earn 100P.

If a player dies, they will lose all points and respawn at the starting point.

Special Note: Beware of the deer… Beware of the deer.

Remaining Time: 2 hours 59 minutes 40 seconds.

───

Deer are leisurely grazing in various parts of the grassland.

It looks familiar.

Ding!

───

[Female Deer]

───

Ding!

───

[Male Deer]

───

Nothing much has changed. Yu Bit-na…

It’s the same place as the FF-grade Deer Dungeon I introduced earlier.

Looking at the tree that the skeleton was punching like a sandbag, it doesn’t seem to be the exact same place.

Late to the party, I caught a badge falling from the air and looked around. Other players were also staring into the void, their eyes moving.

“Is that ‘Sisum’? Is it a typo?”

“Maybe?”

Everyone was whispering but no one was moving. Probably in the middle of a fierce staring contest.

When I took a step while everyone else stood still, all eyes turned to me.

I sat down under the shade of the tree where I first arrived and opened a book. The other players gave me suspicious looks.

—Click, click.

“Phew—”

Leaning against a big tree, smoking a cigarette, and reading a book, someone approached.

“Excuse me. Would you like to join a party?”

“No.”

“Haha, as you can see, I’m a swordsman.”

The approaching man tapped the sword at his waist.

Even though he was probably embarrassed by the sharp rejection, he smiled kindly. This type is annoying because it’s hard to figure out what they’re really thinking.

“You’re reading a book?”

“Physics.”

“Ah… Are you combining magic with physics? What’s your job?”

“Physics Supporter.”

“Ah! A rare Supporter…”

“Also, a Saint.”

“…What?”

Thwack!

“Come out, my babies.”

〔Summon Followers〕

Crunch!

The ground split open, and five bright red skeletons jumped out, burning with crimson flames.

───

[Red Metal Skeleton (Follower) with Madness]

○Bone Weapon

○Cannot be synthesized

Level: 8

───

Thud thud thud!

“Gasp!”

The swordsman who approached flinched and stepped back.

I summoned the Captain Undead Trio and felt a gut-wrenching pain.

I need to experiment step by step, but these are the weakest undead I can summon right now, so it should be fine.

“Kids, catch that one first.”

Ding!

───

[Sisum]

Rank: Field Boss

───

Pointing at Sisum, who was shamelessly munching grass among the deer, the Red Skeleton pulled out its rib.
