After hearing my request, my colleagues didn't say anything for a long time. Maybe they were looking back at the lives they led. Their days that were stained with purges.

“…You're asking us to take the harder path, really.”

After a long period of silence, the Black Dragon Master opened her mouth.

Her voice was nearly lamentful.

“People can become skillful with practice. If they try, they can become a moral person too. They can become powerful by working hard. But it's nearly impossible for someone to be competent, moral, and powerful. It's simply too hard… It's truly a difficult path.”

“Someone told me that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.”

I held out my hand to the guildmasters.

“If so, the road to heaven must be paved with countless sins.”

There would be countless people who become jealous of us. There would also be many who make trouble for fun. People who want power would fight, and those who come to agitate the Tower's inhabitants would appear.

Such people existed.

Many of them.

Evil is both common and strong.

“But that isn't a reason for us to give up. Let's show a slightly better world to the people who have forsaken the outside world to come here.”

I pushed out my hand again. It wasn't so that we could shake hands.

It was a pose for multiple people to join their hands at once.

Like a sports team cheering together before a game, I quietly extended my right hand toward the guildmasters.

“Aha.”

While the Black Dragon Master hesitated, the Heretic Questioner reached out his hand first. Touch. The Heretic Questioner's palm joined the back of my hand.

“I don't mind! It's appealing if the ones in charge have moral legitimacy. And Death King is the only one who can gild us with morality. It'll be a waste to miss this opportunity!”

“Ahem.”

The Venomous Snake put his hand on top.

“I'm now the successor to the Righteous Sect. The old man is always nagging me to think about the sect's mindset or whatever when he sees me. Well, I guess I'll participate out of respect for my master who's staying behind.”

“Mm.”

The Crusader laid her hand on top.

“I've been using my skill since before this conversation began.”

Lie detection.

“Nobody here has let false words escape their mouths. And more than that, Kim Gongja. I know that you ran through [The Chronicles of the Heavenly Demon] and [The Tale of Sormwyn Academy] with an upright heart.”

“I believe in your truthful attitude, I believe in your true love, and above all else, in your character. All revolutions fail. But I will at least devote my life and soul to make our revolution be remembered as the most spectacular failure.”

“Mhm.”

The Count extended her hand.

“I can't keep up with the romantics' tale. But whatever. I'm just following the crowd. I don't want my precious stocks to fall. Let's do our best, everyone.”

Lastly.

The Black Dragon Master hesitatingly put her hand on top.

“…I can't promise you much. I can't guarantee our success. I can't throw away the tools I've used so far. But… All right.”

Black eyes swept over us.

“If we fail. If someone among us must die… I will be the first to do so. I'll promise you that.”

“Then I'll also make you a promise.”

I smiled.

As the Count blinked, I quietly chanted.

“Hundred Ghosts Reincarnation.”
