Ariel, once a Shadow Elf, had become human.

She waved her hands dismissively, saying she couldn’t possibly join the Space League national team with her current abilities.

“That’s by Shadow Elf standards. Except for Seah, your stats alone would put you at the top tier of rankers.”

“Really…?”

Ariel tilted her head at Seong Jihan’s assertion.

“Even though I’ve become this weak? Me, a top-tier ranker? But isn’t humanity part of the Gold League?”

“Gold? With their original skills, they’re barely Bronze.”

“Hmm… If it’s at the level of a Bronze League race, I can understand.”

As she was beginning to comprehend this, the door to the rooftop opened with a rattle.

Yoon Seah entered.

“Uncle, you’re here? Oh… there are more people now?”

“Yeah, I brought them to bolster humanity’s strength.”

“Bolstering our strength…?”

Seong Jihan told Yoon Seah about his trip to the dead star.

He explained how Gilgamesh had joined their forces, and Ariel had even changed races to become part of humanity.

“Wow… her ears really have gotten smaller! Making Ariel human… Uncle, isn’t that a bit inconsiderate? It’s like she’s been demoted from being a Shadow Elf.”

“She agreed to it herself. Right?”

“That’s correct.”

“Still… when her master orders something, especially the Administrator, how could she say no?”

“It’s truly alright. This is how I’ll atone for the Queen’s sins.”

Ariel examined her body as she spoke.

“It’s hard to get used to this weakened body compared to when I was a Shadow Elf… but I’ll endure it.”

“Hmm… if that’s what you want…”

“More importantly, Seah. Can I join the Space League national team with this level?”

Yoon Seah’s eyes widened as she looked at the stat window Ariel showed her.

“Wow. At this level, you’d be an ace!”

“Really?”

“Yeah. And since your class is Warrior, you’ll probably be ranked first among warriors immediately! If you allocate those 200 residual points, it’s a sure thing.”

As Yoon Seah spoke with confidence, Gilgamesh suddenly stuck his face in.

“What about me?”

He showed his status window.

“Ah… this person…”

Yoon Seah showed a bit of wariness towards Gilgamesh, who was once infamously known to humanity.

“He’s not the Gilgamesh from before, so you don’t need to be too cautious.”

“Really?”

At Seong Jihan’s words, she immediately changed her attitude and analyzed Gilgamesh’s stats.

“Gilgamesh, your stats are a bit higher! Sorry Ariel, looks like you’ll be second.”

“Sorry? I’m amazed that I’m even second among warriors.”

“That’s the current state of humanity…”

As Yoon Seah muttered bitterly, Karlein watched her with interesting eyes.

“Head.”

“Huh?”

“That kid, she’s quite talented, isn’t she? Can I make her my head?”

He asked Seong Jihan with a bright smile.

“What? Make me… your head?”

“Yeah.”

“But… don’t you already have a head?”

“To evolve to the next level, I need a new head. You’re not quite at his level, but you’d be good as a temporary head.”

“Temporary head…”

As Yoon Seah frowned at those words, Seong Jihan drew his sword, Blue-Red, and placed it against Karlein’s neck.

“If you want to die, just say so.”

Whoosh…

As flames erupted from Blue-Red, Karlein jumped in surprise, raising his hands.

“W-wait! I surrender! Why, why so suddenly? Ah… was she someone I shouldn’t touch?”

“Yeah.”

“Oh, I see… I won’t do it! I won’t touch a hair on her head! Please forgive me just this once!”

At Karlein’s continued pleas, Seong Jihan slowly withdrew his sword.

He had already burned Karlein’s star so he could let it slide this once.

But still.

“There won’t be a next time.”

“I understand… I won’t even look at her…”

As Seong Jihan warned him with a cold expression, Karlein nodded hurriedly.

“Ugh… becoming a tenant after my house burned down is so miserable. Really.”

“To think you’d try to touch the person the master cherishes most… You’ve got some nerve.”

“He cherishes her the most? What’s their relationship?”

“She’s his niece.”

“…? Why would he cherish a niece?”

“Well…”

As Ariel was explaining the relationship between Seong Jihan and Yoon Seah…

“Uncle… shouldn’t we inform people about the new players you brought? I think people might be surprised to see Gilgamesh’s name in the warrior rankings.”

Yoon Seah glanced at Gilgamesh as she spoke.

Considering Gilgamesh’s past activities, explaining why he was added to the warrior rankings would be necessary.

“You’re right. The Tower of Martial Gods will soon reach the 50th floor. We can announce it then.”

“It’s already at the 50th floor?”

Seong Jihan nodded.

Ever since it was announced that the tower would give stat points as a reward for reaching the 50th floor, the Tower of Martial Gods had been growing at an incredible speed.

At this rate, it seemed the tower would reach the 50th floor tomorrow or the day after.

“Until then, let’s find them a place to stay.”

“Okay. In this building?”

“That’s right. Assign them any spare rooms on the lower floors.”

“Any room is a bit… They’re ranked 1st and 2nd among warriors. I’ll prepare good rooms for them.”

As Yoon Seah, the owner of the Sword Palace building, said this, Karlein blinked his eyes.

“A home? I’d be fine living with the head! I need to serve the master, too.”

“I don’t want that.”

“Tch…”

Excluding the clingy Karlein, they finished arranging temporary accommodations for the three.

[The Tower of Martial Gods has been expanded to the 50th floor.]

[As the tower grows, new features will be unlocked.]

A message appeared stating that the tower had grown to the 50th floor.

* * *

The next day.

As soon as Seong Jihan turned on the BattleTube…

-Welcome, Administrator!

-50th floor! 50th floor!

-Finally, we’ll receive the Administrator’s power!

Alien viewers rushed in before the humans, as the Tower of Martial Gods reached the 50th floor.

Their interest was focused solely on whether they would actually receive the stat points.

-Hey everyone, good job. Now that we’ve reached the 50th floor, you’re not needed anymore! …That’s not what your going to say, right?

-Then we’ll invade Earth, haha.

-For real, I might not be able to kill the Blue Administrator, but I could flip the Earth upside down.

-No… He’ll give it to us. Don’t even bring up such talk.

Since the prize was the Administrator’s power, the alien viewers couldn’t readily believe Seong Jihan’s words.

‘Have I been fooled all this time?’

Seeing the atmosphere in the chat, Seong Jihan smirked and then spoke.

“I’m not that inconsiderate. Of course, I’ll give it to you. Originally, I planned to give stat points to players who reached the 50th floor, but…”

Seong Jihan pulled up the data for the highest queue record among the Tower of Martial Gods players and showed it.

“As I promised before, since the queue number has exceeded a certain level, I’ll give out the points at a lower floor. With this record… I’ll give out stat points on the 48th floor, two floors below.”

-See! I believed in you!

-Wait, you’re even keeping the queue promise…? Ah, I should’ve encouraged more people around me…

-I got called an idiot for trying to get the constellations I know to queue for the tower… ‘You believe that?’ they said. lol

-Wow… I’m seeing an Administrator who keeps their promises in my lifetime.

-Who have you been seeing until now?

-Did we have anything to see besides Yggdrasil? lol

Perhaps because they had been scammed so many times by the previous Green Administrator,

The alien viewers who didn’t fully believe Seong Jihan’s queue promise now regretted it.

Seeing this reaction, Seong Jihan slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

“Everyone, it’s not too late. The queue promise is still valid.”

-Oh?

-Um… really?

-So if I bring all my acquaintances, can I get points on the 47th floor???

“47th floor? If the queue record keeps being broken, we might even go down to the 40th floor someday.”

The 40th floor.

Although the number of people reaching the top floor had drastically decreased as the Tower of Martial Gods grew, the 40th floor was different.

It was a goal that could be reached with enough ability, depending on the day’s luck and effort.

-What are you all doing? Aren’t you going to queue right now?

-Please, bring all the players you know.

-Stat points. Once the power of the Red Administrator dominated an era. Even with just 1 point, it greatly increases resistance to fire and improves the efficiency of flame authority by 10 times.

-??? Is the message above real? It’s insane.

-Just spread that kind of ability first ㅡㅡ; We need to lure people in.

-Yeah, facts don’t matter.

At the news that the queue promise was continuing, the alien viewers were already in a frenzy, ready to bring everyone they knew.

-The aliens are so excited;

-What’s the highest record for humanity?

-The Sword King went to the 33rd floor, that’s it.

-Wow, we can’t do it then…

Meanwhile, human viewers watched the aliens’ party atmosphere like spectators across a river.

Since humanity’s highest record was the 33rd floor, the stat points distribution wasn’t a relatable story for them.

As alien player participation was progressing more enthusiastically than humanity’s…

“Well, now that the Tower of Martial Gods announcements are over…”

Seong Jihan wrapped up the tower announcements at this point and…

“We’ll move on to humanity’s turn.”

He turned his gaze backward.

Then, Seong Jihan’s BattleTube screen also turned with his gaze, soon capturing two people in the frame.

“I’ve brought these two to strengthen humanity’s forces. Player Gilgamesh and Ariel.”

-Oh…? These names weren’t in the rankings before. Were they recruited from outside?

-You immediately brought in mercenaries after judging there was no hope from the last game loss, huh? lol

-But wasn’t Gilgamesh a constellation?

-His identity was Adam, right? lol But he’s quiet today?

-Ariel… looks exactly like the Shadow Queen, though?

-No, no, the ears are human.

Gilgamesh and Ariel.

Since both faces weren’t entirely unfamiliar to human viewers, various speculations about them were circulating in the chat.

“They’ve both agreed to forget the past and cooperate, so please give them much support. Oh, and for your information, they’re Warriors.”

-Oh, Warriors…

-If they’re Warriors, the past doesn’t matter at all. lol

-Seeing Seong Jihan speak like that, it seems they’ve changed their heart towards humanity’s side.

-But looking again, the Shadow Queen is still amazing…

Along with the reaction that Warriors should be trusted first, people were marvelling at Ariel, who now had human ears.

And these reactions…

-Those human bastards are causing trouble for the busy Administrator ㅡㅡ;

-For real, when will they become independent…

-But that Ariel… the Shadow Queen?

-She does look the same, I know because I lent her money.

-Could the Administrator even change species?

The alien viewers who hadn’t left the room yet were the same.

Even those not particularly interested in Gilgamesh, seeing Ariel, who looked exactly like the Shadow Queen standing there in human form, questioned whether this was possible.

Of course…

-I find the Tower of Martial Gods more amazing than changing species.

-For real, it’s not even a species upgrade but a downgrade, so it probably happened somehow with the Administrator’s authority.

-Compared to what the Blue Administrator has achieved so far, something like this…

Compared to what Seong Jihan had done so far, changing species was considered a minor thing,

So the alien viewers quickly lost interest in Ariel.

-This is less important than the queue.

-Hurry up and contact everyone around you!

-I should go queue too.

They left the chat room in droves, like the receding tide.

‘Species change doesn’t seem to garner much interest from aliens.’

Since most players didn’t know what the Administrator’s authority entailed, did they think that the Administrator somehow managed to do it?

“…Well, let’s wrap it up here for today.”

Seong Jihan finished introducing the two and turned off the BattleTube.

In this broadcast, most of the interest, except for humanity, was focused on the Tower of Martial Gods.

However…

‘Those who know the details will have a different reaction.’

Flash!

A pure white screen appeared before Seong Jihan’s eyes as he ended the BattleTube.

And there…

[Blue Administrator, how did you manage species transformation…?]

The White Administrator was showing a surprised reaction.
