I Became a Gallery Newbie Beloved by Transcendents
Chapter 29
The rescue team seemed to arrive even later than I expected. The night passed. They hadn’t come even by dawn.
During the passage of time, only after I caught four beasts on par with the one-eyed creature I first encountered did people who appeared to be the rescue team become visible in the distance with the sunrise.
Large-bodied Cat Tribe people approached me.
The way they came with fiercely glinting eyes, I could pretty much guess what kind of misunderstanding they were having.
Me, standing there blankly with 10 Cat Tribe children.
This was certainly a scene prone to misunderstanding.
The voices of the Cat Tribe warriors approaching with large strides from the distance reached me.
“That’s the one who kidnapped our children!”
“We must kill him!”
[NPC – Cat Tribe Beastkin 2nd Rank Warrior Kentra]
[NPC – Cat Tribe Beastkin 3rd Rank Warrior Zete]
[NPC – Cat Tribe Beastkin 4th Rank Warrior Bitus]
…They’re already completely misunderstanding.
Aura began to surge up through the swords and spears held by the three large Cat Tribesmen.
Thirteen male and female Cat Tribe warriors surrounded me and began to close the distance.
“You, are you a member of the slave caravan?”
With such a misunderstanding, it wouldn’t be right to disarm myself.
While gripping the Great Sword Karnavalt in my hand, I racked my brain.
How could I escape this situation without conflict?
Just as I was about to open my mouth, the ten Cat Tribe boys and girls gathered in front of me and spoke in unison.
“Mr. Yuseong saved us from the slave caravan humans!”
The first to step forward was Mike, the first Cat Tribe I had met.
“Those corpses over there. Those are the slave traders….”
Each child stepped forward to testify to my innocence.
Those testimonies were naturally more effective than any explanation I could give myself.
The Cat Tribe warriors shed all their doubts upon hearing the children’s testimonies and believed in my innocence.
“I apologize.”
The 4th rank Cat Tribe warrior Bitus bowed his head to me.
“I almost committed a great discourtesy to our benefactor.”
Then, the other Cat Tribe warriors positioned around us also bowed their heads.
Mike, who had been standing back a little, approached Bitus with quick steps and whispered something.
Mike held out to me an object taken from the bag Bitus was carrying.
It was a crimson bracelet. It had intricate patterns engraved on it.
What stood out was the yellow fur that flowed naturally from the end of the bracelet.
“It’s a token that you’re a friend of the Cat Tribe, the Uyet tribe.”
I accepted the bracelet Mike offered.
[Bond of Trust]
Category – Accessory
Effect: Slightly increases mental power in the ‘Forest’ background.
Description: A bracelet proving friendship with the ‘Uyet’ tribe of the Cat Tribe.
Grade: C
The grade and effect were inferior to the Anti-Evil bracelet I was currently wearing, but this didn’t seem like a bracelet where such effects were important.
“Not just the Uyet tribe, but Cat Tribe from other tribes will recognize this bracelet too. They’ll be less wary of the owner of the Bond than they would be with other humans.”
Gifts were always welcome.
“Thank you.”
Notification windows began to cover my field of vision one after another.
“Quest – ‘Rescue the Cat Tribe’ has been successfully completed.”
[You have cleared the 3rd floor stage.]
[‘Player – Han Yuseong’ 3rd floor stage score is being calculated.]
[You selected and succeeded in the more difficult option between two choices. Additional points will be applied.]

Before my score was reflected, I noticed the 3rd floor scores of those currently climbing.
1st place – Union Leader : 674 points
2nd place – Sinclair : 412 points
3rd place – Black Hand : 383 points

[Score tallying has been completed.]
[Han Yuseong : 1,682 points]
You exceeded three digits again.
[You will automatically move to ‘4th Floor Stairway Waiting Room’ in 3 minutes.]
The 3 minutes passed quickly.
Only when it was time to leave did I pat the heads of the friendly Cat tribe children.
As the children gradually dispersed,
Mike approached me hurriedly.
I handed Mike my remaining sandwich in its container.
“Eat it later by yourself. You should eat it today so it doesn’t spoil.”
Mike received the sandwich with both hands and smiled broadly.
“Thank youuu.”
Mike looked up at me with green eyes.
“Now, where are you thinking of going?”
Well.
I don’t know what will come out at the 4th floor stage either.
I patted Mike’s head.
The yellow cat tail swayed gently.
“See you next time.”
I uttered the same words I had given to Risellin and Yunez at the 2nd floor stage.
“Yuseong…?”
I could see Mike’s eyes growing round.
Immediately after, I felt a sensation as if my body was floating for a moment.
The view before my eyes was tinged with light.
When it returned to normal, the scenery had changed.
The landscape changed from the very vast and grand Beast Forest to what still looked like a high school auditorium.
Hmm.
Is the waiting room size expanding like this?
Another notification window began to appear before my eyes.
[Welcome to the 4th floor.]
[You are awarded 800 coins as a reward for clearing the 3rd floor.]
[Registering 3rd floor ranking score.]

ã„´ Must be luck.
ã„´ Are you stupid? How can that be luck? If it’s twice in a row it’s not luck. A real one is coming up.
ã„´ I’m starting to get really excited. First post on the climbing gallery when they get to the 30th floor and receive the climber terminal.
ã„´ Spear King) Like typical normals, making such a fuss. Don’t waste time on 3rd floor types, go train instead.
ã„´ KKKKKKKK your so-called great hard difficulty #1 just got trampled by a new newbie. Must be really nervous about it? KKKKKK
ã„´ Lettmegohome) Well, Union Leader probably isn’t intimidated but must be concerned oo with a newbie scoring 1000 points higher. Must be someone special.
ã„´ Come up quickly! At this rate we’ll see you soon. Considering the exchange period, took less than 3 days to clear 3rd floor??
ã„´ That’s what a supernova is.
ã„´ These guys have nothing to invest themselves in so they’re fussing over a mere 3rd floor newbie….
ã„´ No, it’s about ‘a 3rd floor newbie who ranked 1st twice in a row with four-digit scores’, I like everything except the lousy nickname setup. Come up quickly.
ã„´ LifeAnalyst) If they do the same on 4th floor, I’ll acknowledge
ã„´ At that pace, they will. Why not?
ã„´ AHHH!!! It feels so refreshing to see all those show-offs pushed down one rank each~~ Private, hello
“I didn’t expect to clear the 3rd floor faster than the 2nd floor.”
The black-haired woman who muttered while looking at the gallery screen on the terminal gazed at one talisman hanging in the room.
“It’s obvious I can’t trade multiple items, so I put all my essence into this one talisman, but still haven’t given it to him, tsk tsk.”
The woman, So Yohwa, was waiting for the dimensional trading cooldown to end for Han Yuseong, the only tower climber in the Transcender Gallery.
A life that was very boring and extremely tiresome.
Because right now Han Yuseong was the only one making her feel the emotion of fun.
FLUTTER-!
So Yohwa tightly tied her long hair as she watched all the talismans on the line suddenly flutter at once.
Then she got up from her chair and walked toward the window of Taeheo Palace (Palace of Grand Void).
The Central Martial Arts World.
The monsters that began to appear forty years ago.
After the most notorious great monsters in martial arts history, Muyeon (Mist) and Heukmok (Black Eyes), tore through the atmosphere and descended.
As soon as they landed on the ground, they swept away 590,000 martial artists.
With the emergence of monsters against whom the power of martial arts (wÇ”) was not easily effective, the martial arts world was driven to the brink of collapse. Those who resolved that situation were beings, including herself, who had returned after ending the ‘Tower.’
Muyeon was sent to the same end as So Yohwa’s master.
Heukmok was killed by So Yohwa who risked her life.
Since then, no monster of great level had descended, but mid to high-level monsters were still targeting the Central Plains.
Like the monster before So Yohwa’s eyes now.
A snow-white snake monster with a thousand heads.
So Yohwa lightly threw a talisman into the air.
So Yohwa spoke softly.
“Time to die.”
SHWAAAK!
The talisman was torn in all directions in midair.
And then.
KEEEEEEEEK!
The snake monster’s body was also torn in all directions.
Blood and flesh poured down like heavy rain.
So Yohwa stood at the window railing and took out her terminal.
This time, she entered <Transcender Gallery> instead of <Climber Gallery>.
Title: At 4th floor waiting room
Author: Anonymous*
Planning to train my sword energy a bit before going to the 4th floor stage. Real combat really is the most helpful.
I almost died from a 4th rank swordsman though. Thanks to that, I think I’ve awakened some instinct.
ã„´ ??? Why did you meet a 4th rank in the 3rd floor.
ã„´ KKKKKKKKKK wow. So that’s why your score is insane.
ã„´ Absolute Monarch) You must have achieved the elimination of a powerful enemy.
ã„´ Anonymous*) Correct.
ㄴ Light’s Sword) What technique almost killed you?
ã„´ Anonymous*) When he stabbed his sword into the ground, some kind of wave rushed at me. I had an instant feeling I’d die if it touched me. It only grazed me but twisted my right arm.
ã„´ Light’s Sword) That’s sword energy explosion. You would have died if it hit you more.
ã„´ Anonymous*) Thanks to your footwork, I was able to dive through the gaps in the wave.
ㄴ Light’s Sword) The fact that you judged and executed that in that moment is purely your ability.
ã„´ SOB talented bastard KKKKKKKKKKKK
ã„´ Pioneer) It’s surprising to meet someone who uses sword explosion on the 3rd floor.
TOK- TODOK.
So Yohwa added a comment.
ã„´ Priestess) Hawa, good job climber.
