Chapter 22: Decision (1)
The Republic of Korea’s Tower Climbing Special Agency. Known simply as the Agency.
Established just months after The Day of Upheaval two years ago, this central government body oversaw all climber-related affairs, and to this day it still ran in a perpetual state of chaos, overwork, and seat-of-the-pants improvisation.
It wasn’t just Korea, either. Every other country was in the same boat.
Humanity still knew painfully little about the Tower, and simply keeping pace with a world that shifted by the hour was exhausting enough.
“So much work Drowning in blessings Oh, how wonderful, oh, how happy~.”
One employee muttered to herself as she hammered away at her keyboard, eyes hollow.
Perhaps she had constructed her own psychological defense mechanism to endure the extreme stress. Or perhaps she had simply lost her mind.
The workload had already been mountainous, but after the Nightmare second floor was cleared, the Agency’s tasks had multiplied several times over.
And this time was even worse than when the first floor had been cleared, because on top of the new climbers, the Tower had announced a new rule.
