I Became a Gallery Newbie Beloved by Transcendents
Chapter 34
[Level up!]
[Lv.24 → LV.26]
Once again, defeating the boss monster resulted in a two-level increase.
I looked at the window covering my view.
[You have cleared the 4th floor stage.]
[‘Player – Han Yuseong’ Calculating score for the 4th floor stage.]
This time, there were no additional notifications.
Once again, the 4th floor scoreboard appeared.
1st – Union Leader : 804 points
2nd – Black Star : 719 points
3rd – Black Hand : 579 points
4th – Tracking : 443 points
5th – Sinclair : 411 points
⋮
⋮
There was one name I hadn’t seen before among the usual list.
Black Star.
I didn’t think I’d get much out of asking the seniors in the Transcender Gallery about the climbers’ narratives.
I didn’t care much in the current situation.
It seemed necessary to ask what the high-level players in the Climber Gallery thought about me.
[Score calculation complete.]
[Han Yuseong : 1,782 POINTS]
Four digits again.
I was first place again.
[You will automatically move to the ‘5th floor waiting room’ in 3 minutes.]
As soon as I picked up the trident, what greeted me was a notification that it was the exclusive weapon of the ‘Son of Lightning’ who just died.
As expected, it was useless.
The only useful thing was a blue orb.
It was a potion that fell to the ground when I shattered the magic core of the Son of Lightning.
[Mana Ring]
Classification – Potion
Effect: When consumed, mana stat increases slightly. The increase is permanent.
Usable Level: Level 20 or higher
Grade: B
I put the Mana Ring in my inventory.
I felt a floating sensation.
The scenery before my eyes changed.
[Welcome to the 5th floor.]
[1000 coins awarded as reward for clearing the 4th floor.]
[Registering 4th floor ranking score.]
《 4th floor – Score ranking 》
1st – Private : 1,782 points NEW!
2nd – Union Leader : 804 points
3rd – Black Star : 719 points
4th – Black Hand : 579 points
5th – Tracking : 443 points
6th – Sinclair : 411 points
7th – Argul : 384 points

[4th floor stage reward has been given. Check your ‘inventory’.]
[Reward for achieving 1st place in 4th floor stage score is given. Check your ‘inventory’.]
I checked the 4th floor stage reward first.
It was some kind of mask. A dark red mask.
CLICK-
[Mask of the Red Night]
Classification – Mask
Effect: 1 – Opponents facing the user wearing the mask cannot see the user’s ‘eyes.’ Therefore, immune to most skills that work by making eye contact.
2 – Can secure visibility in darkness.
Grade: B+
The effect was quite useful.
Additionally, the mask itself seemed to provide great advantages.
Wearing this at the exchange meeting would help hide my face or deal with variables.
Even without going to the exchange meeting, it seemed there would be many uses for it when mission-types appeared in stages.
Next, I checked the item received as a reward for getting 1st place in the 4th floor stage score.
[Master Blacksmith Summoning Scroll]
Classification – Summoning Scroll
Effect: 1 – You can randomly meet one master-level blacksmith.
2 – You can request and acquire one item from the blacksmith.
3 – The cost must be negotiated directly with the summoned blacksmith.
Usage: Tearing the summoning scroll will perform the summoning.
Master Blacksmith Summoning Scroll.
I don’t know what it means to “meet.”
Title: Guys, I got a Master Blacksmith Summoning Scroll as a 1st place score reward.
Author: Anonymous*
– What does it mean to randomly meet? It says I have to negotiate the cost directly with the summoned person.
Oh, I got 1st place on the 4th floor too.
ㄴ I saw the 1st place. My dopamine surged.
ㄴ ROFL
ㄴ So how many golems did you kill in total?
ㄴ Anonymous*) More than thirty.
ㄴ LOLOLOLOL So you killed over thirty golems that never appear on the 4th floor for others, which is why your score is that high.
ㄴ I’m starting to admit that you getting 1st place three times in a row is not a coincidence.
ㄴ Light’s Sword) Well done.
ㄴ And the score is about twice that of Union Leader who was always 1st place before, so people are asking what kind of person is climbing up
ㄴ Water King) Kyaa- Keep going up!! Tower Gallery’s giraffe!!!
So what?
The 5th floor stage is already daunting.
The comments below were about the Master Blacksmith Summoning Scroll.
ㄴ Boss) It means exactly that. A random master-level blacksmith is summoned to where you are.
ㄴ Absolute Monarch) It’s less like they fully enter your space, more like they see you from beyond.
ㄴ Light’s Sword) Try it. You might get a better weapon than you expect.
ㄴ Archmage) As long as you don’t get a blacksmith with a nasty temperament, they’ll help you without issues.
ㄴ Anonymous*) Are there many with nasty temperaments?
ㄴ Priestess) Hawawa, there are more than you think. Especially if they’re elves.
ㄴ Ice Queen) BRRR! If they’re elves, if they’re elves!
ㄴ Elf) ? Why are you guys picking on us.
ㄴ Water King) Feline blacksmiths generally have a higher probability of having decent personalities!!!
ㄴ That’s true.
I should hope no elf gets summoned.
ㄴ Boss) Right. Check your mailbox.
Mailbox?
ㄴ Anonymous*) Was there such a thing?
ㄴ Spear King) It’s something that exists from the 5th floor onward.
ㄴ Light’s Sword) Someone might have left something for you.
ㄴ Anonymous*) What if there’s nothing?
ㄴ Archmage ) If there’s nothing, then there’s nothing. Even if someone left something in the past, if that player died or completed and graduated from the tower, the system makes it disappear.
ㄴ LOLOLOLOL As if anyone could have graduated from the Pandemonium Tower
ㄴ For real, there’s definitely 100% no one who’s passed the 30th floor.
Who are they trying to mess with?
Anyway, a mailbox.
Let’s check it out.
SWISH-
I didn’t even need to make up my mind.
There was already a red mailbox in the center of the place that still resembled a high school auditorium.
Its familiar appearance made it somewhat welcome.
THUD
I moved my feet and inserted my right hand into the mailbox.
WHOOSH-
I waved my right hand around, but nothing touched my fingertips.
A bust.
“……”
Many thoughts came to mind.
Humans are creatures that feel loneliness.
And even if a player is a non-human beyond the human category, it would be the same.
Having reached the 5th floor where there’s a mailbox, if there was a way to leave a letter, someone would have.
And even if they passed the 5th floor without stopping due to a mistake or other reasons, they could probably send a letter to the 5th floor from upper floors.
The probability that I was the only person in Pandemonium had increased.
ㄴ Anonymous*) As expected, there’s nothing.
ㄴ Hmm.
ㄴ For real, seems like there’s no one?
ㄴ Boss) I had already anticipated this.
ㄴ Archmage) Pilgrim of Pandemonium, steel your heart. Reaching the 5th floor of Pandemonium already proves your talent. I believe there’s no reason you can’t make it out alive.
Suddenly coming out with long, encouraging words.
ㄴ Light’s Sword) You’ve returned from your mission.
ㄴ Archmage) Indeed. I’ve just eliminated all the mad dragons.
ㄴ Dragon King of Demons) Beltui~ I think Archmage might eliminate me too. I’m scared~
ㄴ Archmage) I know better than anyone that Your Dragon Excellency won’t suffer from madness.
ㄴ Dragon King of Demons) HEHE, it’s been a while since I heard that~
ㄴ Light’s Sword) Eliminating wouldn’t be a bad decision either.
ㄴ Dragon King of Demons) Beltui – Light’s Sword, don’t say such things!
ㄴ Light’s Sword) Die.
ㄴ Dragon King of Demons) Beltui – HIIIEEK~
ㄴ Almost all the hard mode clearers who went inactive are back now.
ㄴ Archmage ) Sage, I’ll teach climber magic someday, so give up on the idea of being a magic teacher.
ㄴ Sage) Seeing that the exalted Caelum has taken interest, it seems you are a pilgrim with the right mindset.
ㄴ Archmage) This humble one is not smart enough to teach magic to someone who hasn’t awakened their magic circuits.
ㄴ Anonymous*) What’s Caelum?
ㄴ Caelum. Heaven. A magician who has entered the realm of the sky. It means the most outstanding magician across the entire continent.
ㄴ It’s an honor given to only one person by the Continental Magic Association Creatio.
ㄴ That’s why no one challenges the Archmage even when he says weird things.
ㄴ How unlucky must the climber summoned to Pandemonium be, where even people like that aren’t summoned OMG
ㄴ Just how talented are the humans summoned to Pandemonium OMG
ㄴ These guys are really good at flattering the Archmage OMG
ㄴ Archmage ) Tsk, wait. Climber. I’m currently researching magic that even aura circuit users can utilize.
ㄴ Anonymous*) Thanks Thanks
There was no need to decline when he offered to make me able to use magic.
Though I wasn’t sure if it was possible.
I closed the gallery.
I had no immediate plans to climb to the 5th floor.
I planned to spend about three days training in the Flexible Breaking Technique that Heavenly Demon senior gave me.
First, I decided to use the Master Blacksmith Summoning Scroll.
RRRRRIP!
The moment I tore the scroll, a strange rift occurred in space.

Title: This private guy got 1st place again
Author: Aldebaran
– Crushing the Strategy Alliance’s ‘Union Leader’ again with more than double the score for 1st place! KYAA, when is this guy going to reach the 30th floor? I’m so excited.
ㄴ Union Leader <<<<< If this guy is now obsolete, press like~~~
ㄴ DualSwordIsRomantic) Crazy bastards making a fuss about getting 1st place on just the 4th floor. Are you mocking the hard difficulty legend? I’ll cut down all the easy or normal ones I meet at the exchange meeting.
ㄴ HAHAHAHAHA look at this idiot getting scratched so transparently.
ㄴ Think about it in reverse. If they’re scoring 1,782 points on just the 4th floor, how much more of a monster would they become as they go up??
ㄴ Hey guys, your hard friends are already being completely ignored. Didn’t you see the post that just came up?
ㄴ DualSwordIsRomantic) ??
ㄴ ImStillAlive) A player from the highest floor of Normal difficulty, meaning someone from the 89th floor who is the leader of <Vertex>, has just challenged <Raid Alliance> to a ‘guild war’. Just now.
ㄴ DualSwordIsRomantic) HAHAHAHAHA…HA wow, these insects. They don’t know their place. They think they can win just because they’re on a higher floor.
ㄴ Spear King) It’s because that private guy kept beating floors 2, 3, and 4 as he climbed up, so suddenly the alliance leader thinks he’s easy prey. Not knowing his place. His confidence grew enormously after seeing the stats of someone who hasn’t even passed the 10th floor yet.
ㄴ HAHAHAHAHA you’ll see.
ㄴ To be honest, even as someone on Normal difficulty, I think Vertex’s side has lost their minds too.
ㄴ Spear King) But wait, you’re right. There was a guild war. As soon as that private guy reaches the 30th floor, they should immediately tell him to join a guild and challenge them to confirm. It’s definitely someone who’s just taking advantage of the Easy difficulty system loophole to get free points.
ㄴ HAHAHA bro, I’m on Easy difficulty. There’s nothing like that HAHAHA. That private guy is the real deal. He’s truly someone with something special.
ㄴ Alderamin) Oh, Spear King is indeed smart. That method. Kidnap him for a guild war as soon as he reaches the 30th floor.
