Chapter 73


This is a pretty big one, Lahel came and went from Baam's cave to wherever she came from (Inside the tower?) Helps explain where stuff came from at least.

Yeah, but he's doing it on something a whole lot stronger. This thing is higher than a run of the mill Ranker, no?

No it is just higher than the floor, like the eel baam faced on floor 1

If it was just that I wouldn't be confused. But earlier it was said that the name she gave to the Rankers was Rachel Light but Baam still called her Lahel. Not sure if that was just the translators still deciding whether to use Rachel or what.

I wonder if any other names will change now though.

Michelle Light. not Rachel Light.

His name could be a Christmas reference of some kind.


He could also possibly be the December weapon from the 13 month series, although I think this is highly unlikely at this point.

This comic is amazing. Yeah the author seems to not be too sure about where to take some the story, but it doesn't matter because the world and characters are extremely interesting. Someone should make a thread about this over at BSS. More people should read this!

:science: Well it is a Webcomic, so maybe it would be good. :science:



I Suspect Yu was speaking to Headon. After all when speaking to Rachel he seemed pleased that Baam was entering the tower, I think this has all been an elaborate trick to hide Baam from Zahards minions. Rachel did it to save him.

I really wonder why he's made it so blatantly obvious that he's an enemy of the tower. He's basically made an open declaration of war. He's either incredibly confident or downright suicidal. Even if he can beat Love in a fight, there's no way everyone is gonna be like Love's boss and leave him alone. A regular taking out a ranker would be pretty drat surprising to the government of the tower, after all.

Ah but he is FUG which means people will assume something other than an irregular since FUG are a bunch of bogeymen in the tower. Also remember that Yeon said that she can put a hurting on rankers with her power and since viole is obviously (according to that test) stronger, it is not out of place that he could win now is it?

Viole joins a team and then they win, this satisfies both his victory condition 2. (beat the ranker and take his connector then own the room.) and the other teams. (7 people 6 rooms last one is Yeons.)

A lot of the time when something focuses on a side character, they completely fail to make the side character likable or interesting. In ToG, I actually find myself liking the side characters quite a lot. When part 2 started, I was a little annoyed at losing all my old favourites, but then the guy goes and writes a whole bunch of new guys that I've now grown to like.

This chapter didn't even feature Baam, and it was still a drat good chapter. I don't even mind if Baam is ignored completely until the end of the test.

The mark of a great author is to be able to make any character interesting. For example oda in one piece with those one page side stories. I especially liked enel goes to the loving moon and dicks around.

Well there are a few mentions, but some background first: 'Ranks' are given to those who reach the 134th floor - there is a literal ranking committee of sorts (랭킹 관리국, Raengking Gwahnligook; or "Ranking Affairs Bureau") that determines how strong you are compared to others from your climb to the top. The top 1% of people to climb to the 134th floor are the "High Rankers". I don't believe ranks can change once you reach the top - if you were ranked 4th, the only way for your rank to change is for someone new to be ranked 1st through 4th - pushing your rank down by 1.

That's important because only High Rankers are given the privilege of taking the 135th floor test. In this sense I suppose that the act of being 'ranked' is the 134th test.

Anyway, we know 134 isn't the top because of various blog posts - what we know so far is conveniently collected here.

e: Thinking about it, I suppose you could move up in ranking by killing those ahead of you.
ee: Also, because they have to take the test from the Guardian as opposed to from the Zahard testing "protocol" of sorts - only Irregulars are eligible in the first place.

100th floor is the floor where ranking starts, and people can change their ranking once ranked.

So I've got a question: did anything ever come of Baam getting that A-rated pocket from Evan Edrok in the first few chapters? I was sure that would've come up at some point in part one but I don't remember it ever being mentioned again. I'm sure it's still a lot higher than anyone else would have as an E-rank Regular but it seems like it'd be less effective as something impressive now that he has all this other stuff going for him.

Koon seems to have it now.

Is there a certain number of people who will participate in the Workshop battle? It might be a little early to start filling up ranks, team Tangsooyook could always drop the little girl in favor of someone else if the group size is restricted.

e: not to suggest that theyd do that unless the team size is so restrictive that you have to pick your strongest, like 3v3. Just saying theres no reason Rak would join Tangsooyook when hes been a part of Team Baam for so long unless Circumstances draw them together. Its all up to SIU now

Are you suggesting he would not GET INVOLVED IN AN ATTEMPT TO SAVE THE TURTLE?

It seems weird that they're trying to put Baam (an irregular) into the thorn, which is just some piece of scrap left over from a different irregular. I guess that like they said it'd be a way to use his power as a tool without needing his co-operation. I wonder what the thorn is anyways though, and what's going on in Rachel-land.

The Thorn might be the weapon that slew the gaurdian, it might also have the power to kill zahard but it is currently drained or something so they want to use baam as a battery

Ehwa fights exclusively with shinsoo and burns everything around her - not a wave controller
Ran uses lightning spears, bigger lightning spears, more lightning spears, other lightning shinsoo attacks - hmmm fisherman? maybe spearbearer? def not wave controller
Yuri blows up everything she looks at with shinsoo - def a fisherman
Jahad's mastery over shinsoo was so good data eduan thinks going up against him is a lost cause - sounds like a fisherman to me
Enryu is such a powerful wave controller he killed a creature thought to be immortal - spearbearer

So they mention at some point a ways back in the story that a true "fisherman" is someone good at everything and not just a close range melee fighter.

Or when Khun says "I am not a light bearer because i'm poo poo at fighting. I'm one cause I like bossing people around." Then he beats the crap out of someone.


Like you can be good at more than one thing in the tower, just light bearer stuff uh... most people don't like doing InfoSec that much tbh.
