[00:01] (Flashback) Rachel
    Listen, Bam.
[00:04] (Flashback) Rachel
    A long, long time ago,
[00:07] (Flashback) Rachel
    there was a person who loved a star.
[00:09] (Flashback) Rachel
    He loved the star so much,
[00:13] (Flashback) Rachel
    he built the tower in order to reach it.
[00:18] (Flashback) Rachel
    The people laughed at him,
[00:21] (Flashback) Rachel
    but he didn't let it bother him.
[00:24] (Flashback) Rachel
    He built the tower all by himself
    and eventually reached the star.
[00:37] (Flashback) Rachel
    He got to live with the star forever.
[00:40] (Flashback) Rachel
    It's a beautiful story, don't you think?
[00:42] (Flashback) Bam
    Rachel.
[00:43] (Flashback) Rachel
    Yeah?
[00:44] (Flashback) Bam
    Do you think he was lonely?
[00:48] (Flashback) Bam
    I think living all the way up there by
    himself must've been scary and lonely.
[00:56] Announce
    Please wait until all the
    other Regulars arrive.
[01:01] Announce
    Once again, please wait until
    all the other Regulars arrive.
[01:07] Wagnan
    Sounds like we got here first.
[01:09] Goseng
    I guess so.
[01:11] Wangnan
    I wonder how many more people will come.
[01:14] Goseng
    Who knows?
[01:15] Wangnan
    If only they'd arrive one at a time.
[01:17] Wangnan
    Then we could gang up on them
    five against one if it came to it.
[01:20] Goseng
    Are you out of your mind?
[01:23] Goseng
    What if they're monsters like him?
[01:26] Wangnan
    Y-You're right.
[01:29] Miseng
    Um, would you like some?
SIGN    Chocolate Bar
[01:31] Goseng
    Really? I love those!
[01:35] Wangnan
    Give me a break. This isn't a school tri—
[01:38] Goseng
    Shut up and eat.
[01:40] Goseng
    Thanks, Miseng.
[01:42] Miseng
    Have one.
[01:43] Kang Horyang
    Thank you.
[01:44] Akraptor
    Candy, my ass.
[01:49] Kang Horyang
    They're good. Do you have more?
[01:51] Wangnan
    These things really are good.
[01:55] Miseng
    Here you go. I have plenty.
[01:57] Goseng
    I told you to shut up and eat.
[02:03] Miseng
    Um, here.
[02:05] Goseng
    M-Miseng!
[02:06] Miseng
    Have one. They're yummy.
[02:16] Goseng
    Why would you do something so dangerous?
[02:19] Miseng
    Huh? But...
[02:21] Miseng
    My mom and dad said to be nice
    to kids who are all alone.
[02:26] Wangnan
    He nearly killed us, you know.
[02:28] Goseng
    Honestly, why do you have
    to be so soft-hearted?
[02:34] (Flashback) Rachel
    You're right.
[02:37] (Flashback) Rachel
    He must've been lonely.
[02:40] (Flashback) Rachel
    He didn't have any close friends or family.
[02:44] (Flashback) Rachel
    It was just him and the star
    at the top of the tower.
[02:47] (Flashback) Rachel
    He must've been really lonely.
[02:51] (Flashback) Rachel
    It's strange.
[02:53] (Flashback) Rachel
    After all, being with someone is so fun.
[02:57] (Flashback) Rachel
    Right, Bam?
[04:36] Wangnan
    You came, too? Did you quit your job?
[04:40] Nia
    Yes.
[04:43] Wangnan
    They seem peaceful.
[04:45] Nia
    I got lucky, I guess.
[04:48] Goseng
    Who's that? You know each other?
[04:50] Wangnan
    Yeah, this is... uh...
[04:53] Wangnan
    How should I explain it?
[04:55] Nia
    Right?
[04:57] Wangnan
    It's more like...
[04:59] Wangnan
    He's my role model?
[05:01] Goseng
    You've lost your mind.
[05:03] Wangnan
    No, I haven't! Right?
[05:05] Yihwa
    Hey!
[05:06] Wangnan
    Huh?
[05:07] Yihwa
    I told you to move your hand!
[05:10] Prince
    But you're mine now.
[05:12] Yihwa
    Let go of me!
[05:14] Wangnan/Id
    It's her!
[05:16] Wangnan/Id
    The flamethrower woman!
[05:20] Wangnan/Id
    Damn it!
[05:22] Wangnan/Id
    She's back?
[05:25] Wangnan/Id
    Who's the guy next to her?
[05:26] Prince
    Come on. A little can't hurt.
[05:27] Wangnan/Id
    What's going on?
[05:28] Yihwa
    Don't.
[05:29] Goseng
    Are you jealous?
[05:31] Wangnan
    Huh?
[05:32] Goseng
    Because he's got a cute girl with him?
[05:33] Wangnan
    No. Look at her hairband.
[05:37] Wangnan
    She's a Yeon.
[05:38] Goseng
    Yeon? You mean the Yeon family?
[05:40] Goseng
    What's a daughter of one of the
    ten great families doing here?
[05:44] Wangnan
    Don't ask me.
[05:45] Wangnan/Id
    Damn it. What the hell is going on?
[05:48] Wangnan/Id
    Why are so many people I recognize here?
[05:52] Wangnan
    What?!
[05:53] Kim Lurker
    Hey.
[05:54] Wangnan/Id
    Th-Th-That's freaking Kim Lurker!
[05:57] Kim Lurker
    Well, if it isn't one of my customers.
[06:01] Wangnan
    What are you doing here?
[06:02] Kim Lurker
    I came to take the test, obviously.
[06:06] Wangnan
    The test?
[06:07] Kim Lurker
    Well, yeah. I'm a Regular, too.
[06:11] Kim Lurker
    I'll leap at any chance to climb the Tower.
[06:13] Wangnan
    Yeah, but...
[06:16] Wangnan
    Does that mean you quit your loan shark job?
[06:18] Kim Lurker
    Something like that.
[06:20] Kim Lurker
    And I'm not a loan shark, I'm a money lender.
[06:24] Kim Lurker
    Watch what you call me.
[06:25] Wangnan
    Huh?!
[06:27] Wangnan
    You mean you're an undertaker
    who buries people alive!
[06:31] Kim Lurker
    See that kid over there?
[06:33] Kim Lurker
    He's Prince, the son of
    my company's president.
[06:35] Wangnan
    Huh?
[06:37] Kim Lurker
    His dad's power got him
    to the 20th floor already.
[06:40] Wangnan
    His dad's power?
[06:42] Kim Lurker
    The company was in an uproar about it.
[06:45] Kim Lurker
    The president paid the exam
    proctor a massive bribe.
[06:49] Wangnan
    A bribe? You don't mean...
[06:53] Kim Lurker
    Yeah. They fixed his fellow test takers.
[06:56] Wangnan
    What?!
[06:57] Kim Lurker
    All those guys over there are
    mercenaries bought by the president.
[07:02] Kim Lurker
    That guy in particular cost a ton.
[07:07] Kim Lurker
    According to rumors, he beat Hatz.
[07:09] Kim Lurker
    They call him the Devil of the Right Arm.
[07:12] Wangnan
    What's he still doing on the 20th floor?
[07:16] Kim Lurker
    That's not all.
[07:18] Kim Lurker
    The girl next to him is from the Yeon family.
[07:21] Kim Lurker
    She's even more impressive.
[07:23] Kim Lurker
    She got famous for burning
    all the other Regulars
[07:26] Kim Lurker
    to a crisp during the previous exam.
[07:30] Kim Lurker
    It earned her the nickname
    "the Yeon Family's Flamethrower."
[07:34] Kim Lurker
    But ultimately, she failed the test,
[07:36] Kim Lurker
    so she borrowed money from us.
[07:39] Kim Lurker
    See? Aren't our test takers impressive?
[07:43] Kim Lurker
    I couldn't pass up this chance,
    so I decided to climb the Tower, too.
[07:49] Wangnan
    Well, thanks for bragging all about it to me.
[07:52] Wangnan
    Why bother telling me this?
[07:55] Kim Lurker
    Well...
[07:57] Kim Lurker
    To offer my condolences, I guess?
[08:00] Kim Lurker
    The president's son has said he's going
    to crush everyone else in the next test.
[08:06] Kim Lurker
    I thought I'd prepare you since
    you've been a customer for so long.
[08:10] Kim Lurker
    Aren't I the nicest?
[08:12] Wangnan
    How?!
[08:17] Love
    Hello, Regulars.
[08:20] Miseng
    How cute.
[08:21] Love
    I am Proctor Love.
[08:22] Miseng
    Is he really a ranker?
[08:23] Love
    First, congratulations on
    passing the first test.
[08:25] Prince
    He's cute as hell.
[08:28] Love
    This will be your second test.
[08:32] Love
    A physical strengthening test using
    a Shinsu measuring instrument.
[08:38] Akraptor
    What is that?
[08:40] Wangnan/Id
    Physical strengthening?
[08:42] Love
    When you strengthen your body using
    Shinsu and touch this device,
[08:45] Love
    your score and rank are
    displayed on that screen.
[08:49] Wangnan/Id
    What the hell is this?
[08:51] Love
    We will use this test to
    select the eight test takers
[08:54] Love
    who will advance to the next test.
[08:57] Wangnan/Id
    This is just a straightforward test of power.
[09:00] Wangnan/Id
    Damn it. This is the worst
    kind of test for me.
[09:03] Love
    The test will now begin.
[09:06] Love
    Please step forward when your
    name appears on the screen.
SIGN    WANGNAN
[09:14] Wangnan

[09:32] Wangnan/Id
    I ranked 10th in a test when
    only eight can advance.
[09:38] Wangnan/Id
    Why did the test have to
    be this of all things?
[09:41] Wangnan/Id
    Can the Tower only be climbed
    by guys overflowing with Shinsu?
[09:49] Wangnan/Id
    I didn't ask to be born this way.
[09:52] Prince
    This is boring.
[09:54] Prince
    I was hoping the tests on the
    20th floor would be different.
[09:58] Prince
    Since this is boring,
    why don't we make a bet?
[10:01] Kim Lurker
    Good idea. What should we bet on?
[10:04] Prince
    Whoever ranks first in this test will receive...
[10:07] Prince
    I know. They have can have Yihwa.
[10:11] Yihwa
    Huh?!
[10:13] Yihwa
    Wh-What do you mean?
[10:14] Kim Lurker
    Sir, that's...
[10:15] Yihwa
    Just because you lent me a little money
    doesn't mean you can do whatever you want!
[10:19] Prince
    Should we bet something else, then?
[10:20] Prince
    If you're first, you'll earn your freedom.
[10:25] Prince
    Or are you not confident in yourself?
[10:28] Wangnan/Id
    Those pieces of shit are playing dirty.
[10:32] Yihwa
    Don't blame me if you regret this.
[10:35] Prince
    Even the ten great families are
    powerless in the face of money.
[10:39] Kang Horyang
    That's enough.
[10:41] Kang Horyang
    You're upsetting the other Regulars.
[10:44] Prince
    Are you telling me to be more considerate
    of guys who are about to drop out?
[10:48] Prince
    You stay out of my way.
    Get out of here. I'll destroy you.
[10:52] Kang Horyang
    Ridiculous.
[10:53] Prince
    What was that?
[10:54] Kang Horyang
    Don't forget that the end will
    come for you someday, too.
SIGN    Akraptor
SIGN    Kang Horyang
[11:09] Prince

    Oh, I'm next.
[11:51] Prince
    Just so you know, he belongs to me, too,
[11:54] Prince
    so you still belong to me.
[11:58] Yihwa
    Your bulk is wasted on the both of you.
[12:01] Prince
    Huh?
[12:02] Yihwa
    Take this!
[12:04] Yihwa
    Wait, what?
[12:09] Wangnan
    Just how clumsy is she?
[12:17] Miseng
    Twenty thousand points!
[12:19] Wangnan
    Didn't she just trip?

[12:29] Yihwa
    Thanks for letting me take the test for free.
[12:35] Yihwa
    You were never going to succeed climbing
    the Tower on borrowed strength.
[12:41] Kim Lurker
    Incredible!
[12:45] Kim Lurker
    You're the best, sir!
[12:47] Sign
    Prince
[12:47] Sign
    Yihwa
[12:49] Prince
    I'm climbing the Tower on borrowed strength?
[12:52] Prince
    No, you're all borrowing my strength to climb.
[12:56] Prince
    If you understand that, then shut
    up and come stand next to me.
[13:00] Wangnan/Id
    What's with these guys?
[13:02] Wangnan/Id
    Are the floors above the
    20th full of guys like them?
[13:04] Yihwa
    Let me try again!
[13:06] Wangnan/Id
    If that's the case, I never stood a chance.
[13:06] Love
    There will be no second attempts.
[13:09] Prince
    Come on. Give up and come back to me.
[13:15] Kim Lurker
    What's so funny?
[13:18] Akraptor
    It's just amusing how much noise they're
    making because they're full of themselves.
[13:22] Akraptor
    Right?
[13:23] Wangnan
    Huh?
[13:24] Prince
    Hey, baldy. Are you out of your mind?
[13:27] Akraptor
    Take a look at that.
[13:32] Akraptor
    He's undoubtedly the strongest Regular here.
[13:58] Love
    That crest...
[14:00] Love
    FUG?
[14:06] Prince
    A h-hundred thousand?!
[14:10] Love
    Everyone has finished.
[14:12] Love
    First place finisher Viole, this way, please.
[14:17] Wangnan/Id
    Welp, they're gonna take all my
    organs and turn me into a skeleton.
[14:22] Wangnan/Id
    Guys who have everything and
    can easily climb are so lucky.
[14:27] Goseng
    What are you crying for?
[14:29] Wangnan
    I'm not crying.
[14:30] Goseng
    If you cry, Miseng will cry again.
[14:38] Goseng
    Oh, do whatever you want.
[14:41] Love
    Viole will now choose the seven people
    who will take the exam with him.
[14:47] Wangnan/Id
    What?
[14:48] Prince
    What does that mean?!
[14:49] Prince
    So what was the test we took just now for?!
[14:52] Love
    That was a test to determine first place.
[14:54] Prince
    You said it was a test to
    choose eight test takers!
[14:57] Love
    Silence. He is going to choose
    the rest of those eight now.
[15:00] Love
    Go ahead and choose seven people, Viole.
[15:03] Wangnan/Id
    Is this...
[15:05] Prince
    Why do I have to be chosen by him?
[15:06] Wangnan/Id
    Is this an opportunity for me?
[15:11] Wangnan/Id
    If he chooses me...
[15:13] Wangnan/Id
    No, he'd never choose someone so weak.
[15:20] Love
    If you please, Viole.
[15:23] Viole
    I...
[15:24] Wangnan/Id
    I...
[15:27] Wangnan
    I am Regular number 1023, Ja Wangnan!
[15:31] Wangnan
    Allow me to introduce myself!
[15:34] Wangnan/Id
    I can't give up now!
[15:36] Goseng
    What do you think you're doing?
[15:39] Wangnan
    Ja Wangnan!
[15:40] Wangnan
    The man who's got something
    special that exceeds all specs!
[15:44] Wangnan
    I will end the era of the ten great families!
[15:47] Wangnan
    You won't regret choosing me!
[15:49] Wangnan
    If you need someone who can dance and sing,
[15:52] Wangnan
    Ja Wangnan is your man!
[15:55] Wangnan
    Need a partner who becomes more
    attractive the longer you look at him?
[15:58] Wangnan
    His name is Ja Wangnan!
[16:02] Wangnan
    So please, please choose me!
[16:07] Wangnan
    If you choose me, I'll do anything!
[16:09] Wangnan
    I'll crawl on all fours and
    bark if you tell me to!
[16:13] Goseng
    That idiot.
[16:15] Wangnan
    Please choose me!
[16:16] Prince
    You don't have a shred of pride.
[16:19] Prince
    If you're going to do that,
    then retake the test.
[16:23] Wangnan/Id
    Yeah, you take the test again, rich kid.
[16:28] Wangnan/Id
    I'm going to climb today!
[16:31] Viole
    I...
[16:32] Akraptor
    Choose me, too.
[16:34] Akraptor
    Please choose me.
[16:37] Wangnan/Id
    Th-This guy...
[16:38] Akraptor
    My daughter... My daughter's waiting for me.
[16:42] Akraptor
    She should be pretty grown by now.
[16:44] Wangnan
    He's obviously lying!
[16:46] Wangnan
    Don't be fooled! You know, don't you?
[16:49] Wangnan
    This guy uses underhanded tricks!
[16:52] Akraptor
    How rude! Can't you see these tears?
[16:55] Wangnan
    Your eyes will tear up if you
    keep them open long enough!
[16:59] Kang Horyang
    Please choose me.
[17:01] Kang Horyang
    There's someone I must find.
[17:04] Wangnan
    You, too?
[17:07] Miseng
    Please take me with you!
[17:10] Miseng
    I want to see my mom and dad!
[17:12] Wangnan
    This isn't fair! Are you
    trying to evoke his sympathy?
[17:15] Wangnan
    Get away from my master!
[17:17] Akraptor
    That girl is actually my daughter—
[17:19] Wangnan
    You shut up!
[17:21] Yihwa
    Why don't you all stop this?
[17:24] Yihwa
    Viole, as your fellow test taker,
    I'd like to say something.
[17:29] Wangnan
    What?!
[17:30] Yihwa
    I'm sure everyone has their
    reasons for being here,
[17:33] Yihwa
    but I believe you should only choose
    based on their capabilities.
[17:36] Wangnan
    Why are you talking like
    you've already been chosen?
[17:40] Yihwa
    Why wouldn't I? I'm from the Yeon family.
[17:43] Wangnan
    Don't make me laugh, you clumsy team killer!
[17:46] Yihwa
    What did you call me?
[17:47] Wangnan
    What, do you not remember me
    because you burnt me too badly?
[17:53] Wangnan
    Viole, you mustn't choose anyone
    who would burn their own teammates!
[17:58] Yihwa
    Hey, that wasn't—
[17:59] Wangnan
    Please! Choose me!
[18:04] Viole
    I...
[18:06] Viole
    choose no one.
[18:10] Viole
    I alone am enough.
[18:13] Viole
    Please fail the others.
[18:14] Wangnan/Id
    What?
[18:15] Wangnan/Id
    Th-There's no way he can choose no one.
[18:20] Love
    The next test must be taken as a team.
[18:23] Love
    You cannot choose no one.
[18:26] Viole
    No one here is worthy of being my teammate.
[18:30] Viole
    I don't want to choose
    anyone who isn't suitable.
[18:33] Yihwa
    Isn't suitable? How arrogant can you be?
[18:36] Yihwa
    Who do you think you are?
[18:39] Yihwa
    Aren't you embarrassed to proudly
    wear that fake thing, anyway?
[18:44] Viole
    It's not fake.
[18:45] Wangnan
    Huh?
[18:47] Viole
    I am Jue Viole Grace, a FUG Slayer candidate.
[18:52] Viole
    My mission is to kill Jahad and his family.
[18:58] Yihwa
    Y-You're actually...
[19:00] Viole
    So you cannot be my teammates.
[19:04] Viole
    I am your enemy.
[19:07] Wangnan
    Seriously?
[19:09] Love
    Viole, I hear you loud and clear.
[19:14] Love
    So how about this?
[19:16] Love
    You and I will play a game.
[19:19] Wangnan
    A game?
[19:20] Love
    If you win, we will allow you
    to take the test by yourself.
[19:26] Love
    If I win, you will follow the rules.
[19:30] Viole
    Very well.
[19:31] Love
    Then it's decided.
[19:33] Love
    We'll begin preparing the game,
    so the rest of you can take a break.
[19:39] Wangnan
    Man, I'm beat.
[19:43] Wangnan
    What's going on?
[19:46] Wangnan
    Does this mean I've avoided failing for now?
[19:49] Wangnan
    What's gonna happen to me now?
[19:52] Wangnan
    Wait a minute...
[19:54] Wangnan/Id
    Is he really going to kill Jahad?
[20:02] Nia
    Huh?
[20:02] Wangnan
    Nia! Are we sharing a room?
[20:05] Wangnan
    I guess we're meant to be together, huh?
[20:07] Nia
    It seems that way.
[20:08] Wangnan
    All right. There's no point in wallowing.
[20:12] Wangnan
    Let's go take a bath.
[20:13] Nia
    Okay.
[20:14] Yihwa
    How did this happen?
[20:16] Yihwa
    I followed the path of the
    elite until I got here.
[20:24] Yihwa
    Huh?
[20:29] Yihwa/Id
    Why?
[20:30] Yihwa/Id
    Why am I sharing a room
    with a damn FUG member?
[20:33] Yihwa/Id
    And wait, she's a woman?
[20:36] Yihwa/Id
    If she's actually FUG,
[20:38] Yihwa/Id
    then my family would be disgraced if
    people learned I teamed up with her.
[20:42] Yihwa/Id
    But if I fail again...
[20:45] Yihwa/Id
    For now, I'll have to work with her.
[20:48] Yihwa
    Excuse me.
[20:51] Yihwa
    I'm going to the bath.
    Would you like to join me?
[20:55] Yihwa
    You won't regret teaming up with me.
[20:58] Yihwa
    Despite how I seem, I earned the
    top score in the 1st floor's...
[21:02] Yihwa
    Huh?
[21:05] Wangnan
    Damn it. Where did it go?
[21:06] Wangnan
    I know I put it in my locker.
[21:09] Wangnan
    If someone else found it...
[21:12] Viole
    Are you looking for this?
[21:17] Wangnan
    Why do you have that?
[21:18] Viole
    It was on the floor when I came earlier.
[21:20] Viole
    More importantly, this is the
    crest of Jahad, isn't it?
[21:25] Viole
    Isn't it?
[21:26] Wangnan
    Yeah. Pretty cool, right?
    It's in vogue right now.
[21:31] Wangnan
    Jahad fashion, I think they call it.
[21:32] Viole
    I've never heard of that.
[21:34] Wangnan
    Well, I'm sensitive to trends.
[21:37] Viole
    Be careful you don't lose it.
[21:39] Viole
    It's important, isn't it?
[21:44] Wangnan
    I-I thought I was going to die.
[21:52] Love
    Test Director.
[21:54] Love
    No matter what you say,
    you can't change my mind.
[22:00] Love
    The FUG will be dealt with.
[22:02] Love
    There is no other option.
