[00:14] Narration
    What do you desire?
[00:24] Narration
    Honor and pride?
[00:34] Narration
    Power and influence?
[00:42] Narration
    Money and riches?
[00:46] Narration
    Revenge? Or...
[00:49] Narration
    To transcend all such things?
[00:53] Headon
    For what do you risk your
    life to climb the tower?
[01:03] Bam
    I...
[01:08] Headon
    Whatever you desire, you will find it here.
[01:23] Headon
    Welcome to the Tower of God.
[01:30] Narration
    Climb the tower, and everything will be yours.
[01:34] Narration
    At the top of the tower exists
    everything in this world,
[01:37] Narration
    and all of it can be yours.
[01:40] Narration
    You can become a god.
[01:42] Narration
    This is the story of Rachel,
    the girl who climbed the tower
[01:44] Narration
    so she could see the stars,
[01:46] Narration
    and Bam, the boy who needed nothing but her.
[01:51] Narration
    Their end and their beginning.
[03:46] Rachel
    I'm sorry, Bam.
[03:49] Bam
    Where are you going?
[04:08] Rachel
    Forget about me.
[04:10] Bam
    No!
[04:23] Rachel
    I'm sorry. I'm climbing the tower.
[04:29] Bam
    Don't leave me!
[04:30] Bam
    I'll follow you until I die!
[04:33] Rachel
    Pray for me.
[04:35] Rachel
    Pray I'll be born again.
[04:49] Bam
    Rachel!
[05:23] Headon
    The answer can always be found
    at the top of the tower.
SIGN    Test 1
SIGN    The White Steel Eel and the Ball
[05:46] Bam
    Where am I?
[05:47] Headon
    All visitors are welcome here.
[06:00] Headon
    I am Headon...
[06:04] Headon
    The caretaker of this tower.
[06:10] Bam
    Tower?
[06:18] Bam
    Tower? This is it?
[06:21] Headon
    It's a pleasure to meet you, Master Bam.
[06:27] Bam
    How do you know my name?
[06:29] Bam
    Her...!
[06:33] Bam
    You spoke with her?
[06:35] Bam
    I followed her here!
[06:38] Headon
    The answer can always be found
    at the top of the tower.
[06:42] Bam
    The top of the tower?
[06:45] Bam
    At the top of the tower...
[06:49] Bam
    Rachel's there.
[06:51] Headon
    Will you take the test
    required to climb the tower?
[06:56] Bam
    What test?
[07:15] Headon
    The rules are simple.
[07:20] Headon
    You will enter the cage.
[07:23] Headon
    If you can break that ball while
    avoiding the White Steel Eel, you pass.
[07:28] Headon
    Will you take it?
[07:30] Headon
    If you wish to turn back, now is the time.
[07:32] Headon
    The tower is dangerous.
[07:33] Headon
    For someone like you, death is...
[07:39] Headon
    Marvelous.
[07:56] Yuri
    Atuna oniana jakabu!
    (What are you, stupid?)
[07:59] Evan
    Isanu ketta, amairui!
    (Wait for me, Yuri!)
[08:07] Evan
    Usedun nianete jutaga botoku.
    (He doesn't understand us.)
[08:18] Evan
    You understand us now, right?
[08:20] Bam
    Y-Yes.
[08:22] Yuri
    That high-quality Pocket
    is too good for you.
[08:25] Bam
    Pocket?
[08:26] Evan
    It's not just a translator.
[08:28] Evan
    It's also our lifeline in the tower.
[08:30] Evan
    Face the Pocket and say, "Invisible mode."
[08:33] Bam
    I-Invisible mode.
[08:36] Evan
    Don't be so shocked.
[08:38] Evan
    By the way, if you say, "Visible
    mode," it'll revert to—
[08:40] Yuri
    I knew it. You're an Irregular.
[08:43] Bam
    An Irregular?
[08:44] Yuri
    An outsider who entered the tower
    by opening the gates on their own.
[08:48] Yuri
    Anyway, you look pretty weak for an Irregular.
[08:51] Evan
    What are we doing getting
    involved with an Irregular?
[08:55] Yuri
    You're saying you don't care if he
    gets swallowed by the White Steel Eel?
[08:59] Headon
    You may be Yuri, Princess of Jahad,
[09:00] Evan
    But...
[09:02] Headon
    but if the king learned of this,
     you would be executed.
[09:08] Headon
    Am I wrong?
[09:10] Yuri
    Only if you tattled to the king.
[09:12] Evan
    Lady Yuri!
[09:13] Headon
    I devote myself to maintaining
    order in the tower
[09:17] Headon
    and ensuring the royal family's prosperity.
[09:19] Headon
    So I am simply doing my job.
[09:25] Yuri
    Then why give him an unfair test?
[09:27] Yuri
    Even guys on the 20th Floor
[09:29] Yuri
    have trouble handling that
    eel covered in steel scales.
[09:33] Headon
    Unfair?
[09:35] Headon
    He's an Irregular.
[09:37] Yuri
    As a Navigator, do you sense
    any hidden power in him?
[09:41] Yuri
    Does he seem like he'll suddenly transform?
[09:43] Evan
    He does seem agile.
[09:45] Yuri
    See? Even Evan says so.
[09:47] Yuri
    Look at how small and weak he looks.
[09:50] Yuri
    Well, if I had to say...
[09:54] Yuri
    ...he's a little bit handsome.
[09:56] Yuri
    Couldn't you drop the
    level of his test, Headon?
[10:01] Headon
    I am the caretaker of the tower.
[10:03] Headon
    It is necessary to determine
    if he is worthy of the tower.
[10:06] Yuri
    Yeah, but—
[10:07] Yuri
    I'll be fine.
[10:08] Yuri
    What?
[10:09] Bam
    I don't know who you are, but I
    appreciate your consideration.
[10:13] Yuri
    You don't even recognize
    a Princess of Jahad?
[10:17] Yuri
    You're trying to climb the tower
    when you're that ignorant?
[10:21] Yuri
    Are you trying to die?
[10:22] Bam
    It's better than giving up here.
[10:25] Headon
    If you're so determined to have
    him climb the tower, Princess Yuri...
[10:30] Headon
    ...why not lend him the Black March?
[10:34] Headon
    Depending on who wields it,
    that legendary sword of Jahad
[10:38] Headon
    can be a lump of lead or a blade
    that cuts through anything.
[10:42] Evan
    Absolutely not!
[10:43] Evan
    Only a Princess of Jahad
    can wield the Black March!
[10:46] Evan
    If word got out that another
    wielded it, execution would be—
[10:47] Yuri
    Arms Inventory, visible mode.
[10:50] Evan
    Lady Yuri!
[11:02] Yuri
    I'll let you borrow this,
    since you've got a cute face.
[11:05] Evan
    Lady Yuri...
[11:08] Bam
    But it's an incredible weapon.
[11:10] Yuri
    Don't you want to climb the tower?
[11:31] Headon
    I can't believe you really
    let him borrow it.
[11:34] Yuri
    What? You're the one who told me to!
[11:36] Bam
    I'll return it as soon as I break the ball.
[11:39] Yuri
    You should start by focusing
    on defending your own life.
[11:44] Bam
    Got it.
[11:46] Evan
    Lady Yuri...
[11:48] Evan
    Have you fallen in love at
    first sight with that boy?
[11:51] Evan
    Ow!
[11:53] Yuri
    Shut up!
[11:55] Evan
    Then do you truly believe an
    Irregular will change the tower?
[11:59] Yuri
    Are you stupid?
[12:00] Yuri
    You know I hate being bored. That's all.
[12:08] Evan
    The truth is, there's one
    way to pass this test.
[12:27] Evan
    What?!
[12:30] Yuri
    That idiot! What is he doing?
[12:33] Headon
    If you provide any more assistance,
     he will fail.
[12:37] Yuri
    You want me to watch him die?
[12:46] Headon
    It is the path he chose.
[12:50] Yuri
    Move, Headon.
[12:52] Headon
    That's quite the way to speak to me.
[12:54] Yuri
    Shut up. You may be the caretaker, but I—
[12:56] Evan
    Wait, Lady Yuri!
[12:58] Yuri
    Let go!
[12:59] Evan
    He did the right thing!
[13:01] Yuri
    What do you mean?
[13:02] Evan
    It's impossible to escape
    from that White Steel Eel.
[13:06] Evan
    So rather than fleeing, you must
    face it and leap into its mouth.
[13:13] Yuri
    What?
[13:19] Evan
    Overcoming the fear of death
    is the answer to this test.
[13:26] Yuri
    He entered its mouth and stabbed it?
[13:31] Yuri
    If you knew the answer,
    why didn't you tell him?
[13:33] Evan
    Even if someone knows the answer,
[13:35] Evan
    usually they won't be able
    to do something so ridiculous.
[13:40] Evan
    But that boy had something
    greater than the fear of death.
[13:45] Evan
    That boy had something that
    let him face that fear.
[13:57] Evan
    What?!
[13:58] Yuri
    Headon!
[14:01] Headon
    The test hasn't even begun yet.
[14:07] Yuri
    What's going on?
[14:09] Yuri
    Why won't the ball break?
[14:11] Headon
    I can't answer that.
[14:13] Yuri
    What are you planning?
[14:20] Bam
    Break!
[14:24] Bam
    Break!
[14:40] Bam
    Break!
[14:43] Bam
    Break!
[14:53] (Flashback) Rachel
    What are you doing down there?
[15:00] (Flashback) Rachel
    W-Wait. I'm coming to you.
[15:04] (Flashback) Rachel
    I see. So you don't remember anything.
[15:10] (Flashback) Rachel
    That must be scary.
[15:15] (Flashback) Rachel
    But it's okay now.
[15:19] (Flashback) Rachel
    I'm here with you.
[15:21] Bam
    Break!
[15:24] Bam
    Break! Break!
[15:26] Bam
    Break!
[15:27] Bam
    Break!
[15:30] Bam
    Break!
[15:32] (Flashback) Rachel
    I want to see the stars.
[15:34] (Flashback) Bam
    The stars?
[15:36] (Flashback) Rachel
    At the top of the tower stretches
    this thing called the sky.
[15:40] (Flashback) Rachel
    They say countless beautiful
    stars shine there.
[15:47] (Flashback) Bam
    They're just like you.
[15:51] (Flashback) Rachel
    Where did you learn to say that?
[15:55] Bam
    Break!
[15:57] Rachel
    Bam, I'm sick of being in this dark world.
[16:02] Bam
    Break!
[16:03] Bam
    Break!
[16:05] Bam
    Don't go, Rachel!
[16:07] Bam
    Break!
[16:14] Headon
    It seems he was a bit too loud.
[16:16] Evan
    That's not good!
[16:17] Evan
    Run, newbie!
[16:21] Yuri
    Run!
[16:22] Yuri
    Hurry!
[16:23] Yuri
    Run!
[16:25] Evan
    Hey, newbie!
[16:27] Evan
    Speak to the Black March!
[16:30] Evan
    Ask it to lend you its strength!
[16:35] Yuri
    Evan!
[16:36] Yuri
    Are you insane? That sword
    won't even listen to—
[16:38] Evan
    Just do it!
[16:44] Bam
    Please grant me your strength.
[16:50] Yuri
    No way.
[17:03] Black March
    Boy.
[17:06] Black March
    You wish for the strength
    to climb the tower?
[17:11] Bam
    No.
[17:14] Bam
    I don't care about the tower.
[17:16] Bam
    Please grant me your strength,
    so I can see Rachel again.
[17:22] Black March
    Such a boring boy.
[17:25] Black March
    However...
[17:29] Black March
    Since you have a cute face, I shall
    grant you my strength just this once.
[17:34] Yuri
    What?
[17:37] Yuri
    She never granted me strength,
    no matter how many times I asked...
[17:41] Yuri
    Was it just because she prefers men?
[17:44] Black March
    That's right. Begone, woman.
[17:48] Evan
    So the tower's superstition was true.
[17:51] Yuri
    I refuse to accept that!
[18:01] Evan
    It broke!
[18:10] Yuri
    Huh? What's going on?
[18:13] Headon
    You mean you don't know?
[18:16] Headon
    He ascended to the next floor.
[18:20] Evan
    What are we going to do?
[18:21] Evan
    He still has the Black March.
[18:24] Yuri
    We just need to go get it back.
[18:26] Evan
    What?
[18:27] Yuri
    We're going after him.
[18:28] Evan
    But we're forbidden from entering the
    testing grounds for climbing the tower.
[18:32] Yuri
    Shut up!
[18:34] Yuri
    A life without anything
    interesting in it isn't worth shit.
[18:38] Yuri
    Hurry up and do your job, Navigator!
[18:41] Evan
    Wait!
[18:42] Evan
    What a stubborn princess...
[18:44] Headon
    What an interesting gathering that was.
[19:01] Headon
    I'm interested in seeing
    what will happen next.
[19:09] Black March
    Even if you are reunited, things will
     never be exactly as they were.
[19:17] Black March
    When you meet her again, she will have
    lived for some time without you.
[19:29] Black March
    But first, sleep. The road ahead is hard.
SIGN    Test 2
SIGN    The Regulars
[19:59] Annouce
    Test, test.
[20:03] Announce
    Hello, Regulars. Welcome to the
    second floor of the tower.
[20:08] Announce
    This testing floor will determine if you are
[20:11] Announce
    worthy of climbing the rest of the tower.
[20:14] Announce
    Let's get the first test started.
[20:19] Announce
    The rules are simple.
[20:20] Announce
    In total, there are 400 Regulars here.
[20:24] Announce
    Please reduce that number to
    200 within the allotted time.
[20:29] Announce
    Use whatever methods you wish.
[20:32] Announce
    The moment that only 200 Regulars remain,
    the test will end.
[20:37] Announce
    Also, you can check the number of
    Regulars and time remaining on your Pocket.
[20:45] Announce
    Good luck, everyone.
[21:11] Enemy
    Hey!
[21:12] Enemy
    Stop, kid!
[21:16] Enemy
    There's no point in running.
[21:21] Bam
    Please help!
[21:24] Enemy
    Begging for your life? How impudent.
[21:54] Rak
    You're in my way.
[21:57] Bam
    In order to make it to the
    next floor, I have to survive.
[22:06] Khun
    Hey.
[22:07] Khun
    Why are you trying to kill me?
[22:09] Enemy
    Whoever survives, wins!
[22:11] Enemy
    Those are the rules of the test, fool!
[22:14] Khun
    I see. So you easily stoop
    to being controlled.
[22:19] Bam
    In order to survive...
[22:21] Bam
    To climb the tower...
[22:25] Bam
    I have no choice.
[22:32] Levin
    What was that for?
[22:33] Rak
    This is the hunter's position.
[22:35] Levin
    Don't be ridiculous!
[22:40] Rak
    Toss!
[22:42] Rak
    Shall I toss you away, too?
[22:44] Levin
    D-Damn it! You'll pay for this!
[22:47] Rak
    Now, then...
[22:49] Rak
    Any good prey?
[22:53] Rak
    What is it I sense?
[22:56] Rak
    This lizard? No...
[22:59] Rak
    That weapon?
[23:01] Rak
    Another formidable presence.
[23:04] Rak
    That weapon.
[23:07] Rak
    Found you!
[23:10] Bam
    I have to do it.
[23:13] Khun
    Don't bother.
[23:15] Khun
    With such weak knees,
     you won't catch even a single rabbit.
[23:25] Khun
    Shouldn't you be pointing that
    sword at the guy behind you?
[23:27] Bam
    Huh?
