I Became a 6★ Gacha Character

Listening to the Heavenly King's laments, it went something like this:

Originally, they planned to trap adventurers in fake safe zones from floor 51 up while kidnapping civilians. The civilians' souls would become dark crystals while their bodies made undead armies. The undead armies would then tie down players while the dark crystals transported tower monsters outside.

This would force players to deal with gimmicks both inside and outside the tower simultaneously. They'd need to break through an impregnable fortress guarded by the dark mage's elite troops to stop floor 60 monsters from roaming outside.

Would they slowly conquer the tower, take the fake safe zones, and handle monster waves to preserve humanity's strength? Or quickly push through the tower to stop the dark mage's experiments and deal with the Four Heavenly Kings, even if it brought chaos to Empire and Kingdom?

It was a vicious gimmick full of traps binding players' feet, from fake safe zones to monster waves. The Heavenly King probably planned to appear dramatically to deliver despair after the Kingdom and Empire were endangered and players got hurt badly.

If Han Se-ah hadn't charged in like a madwoman, that is.

"But to think you'd rush here so quickly. Thanks to that, I couldn't even send a tenth of the planned forces, let alone half."

"Why are you telling us all this?"

The Empire storyline with monster waves never even started thanks to Han Se-ah's reckless northern advance, and the elite troops meant to bind players were wiped out before three units could be created. They closed the gate with dark magic meant for troop creation in their hurry, but that backfired by drawing curious mages to the tower.
