When playing games, there's a mechanic one might occasionally encounter.

Whether in an RPG dungeon, a dungeon in a mobile game for collecting resources, or even in various genres like FPS or survival games, there's a familiar mechanic: enduring for a certain amount of time against waves of attacking enemies.

"Damn, we werent supposed to just kill them."

This was also the case with the golem that appeared from the 21st floor.

If you withstand ten minutes against the rock golem in the maze, a larger steel golem appears.

If you hold out another ten minutes against the steel golem, an even larger golden golem emerges.

"How did you find that out?"

"On our way back, we ran into it."

An adventurer responded.

"We heard that no other monsters would appear, so we planned on slowly defeating the golem. However..."

After receiving first aid from Ellis and being escorted to the temple late at night through Irene's connections, the adventurers spilled everything without holding back.

After all, they wouldn't dare hide anything from the nun who had selflessly helped them.

Even though the golems were tough and slow, if you took them lightly, the mages in the back would be in danger.

One person distracted the newly appeared steel golem while the rest destroyed the rock golem.

But when they couldn't defeat the steel golem in time, a larger golden golem appeared, and they had to

"How did you manage to escape the maze?"

"... We couldn't defeat them, so we lured them away and then fled. We thought that if an even stronger golem appeared after the golden one, we wouldnt be able to escape."

"Oh, and!"

The middle-aged male adventurer, who seemed calm as he explained, had bandages wrapped around his head.

Even though he was injured, he seemed composed, likely because he didnt suffer any significant damage considering his equipment was fully intact.

In contrast to the calm man, a younger and clearly more excited adventurer piped up.

While the older adventurer looked like a tank with his heavy equipment, the younger one appeared to be an scout or rogue, given his light gear.

He enthusiastically elaborated on the experience, adding more details.

"When the golden golem appeared, there were changes on the walls of the maze! I couldn't see it clearly, but it seemed like magic circuits, similar to what we saw when we first entered the maze, started extending from where the golden golem appeared."

The young man's cheeks flushed with excitement, perhaps driven by the romanticism of the unknown.

Han Se-ah nodded at his words.

All of the adventurers' testimonies were captured on camera, but she might be mentally organizing the information to appear knowledgeable to the viewers.

If you last ten minutes after encountering the rock golem, the steel golem appears.

If you withstand another ten minutes against the steel golem, the golden golem emerges.

As soon as the golden golem appears, changes happen to the maze.

We'll have to learn what comes after that ourselves.

We took the golem down very quickly but, for most players, it seems fairly balanced.

"Hmm, we need to check out the 21st floor first thing tomorrow morning."

"A golden golem? Why would the tower create such a thing?"

"Everyone, let's meet at the Adventurer's Guild at dawn tomorrow."

The night grew late, so after making plans for the next day, we all separated and went back to our respective accommodations.

Even if I don't take the lead in attacking, our party is significantly stronger than the average player's party.

We have a 4 swordsman, a 4 archer, and a mage.

Our defense is also solid even if all 3 focus on offense.

It's also a monster where a mage is absolutely necessary.

Without a mage, you can't weaken it to be penetrable.

If a monster like this appeared in another RPG, the game's director would surely be cursed out on community forums.

Looking at the online forums, the average rating of players NPC companions starts at 2, reaching around 3 by the time they get to the 21st floor.

When a newbie asks how to beat a specific monster, you can't possibly answer,

'Get a full 5 team, then you can beat it without doing anything^^'

What I have to do right now is clear.

Watching Han Se-ah hunt golems makes my heart ache. It's depressing to think that her only approach to monsters is to kill them without a second thought.

There's a unique mechanism where infusing mana reveals hidden mazes, but to not have the intelligence to imagine golems might also have their own unique mechanism is so sad.

"Wait, how did this guy guess everything so accurately? Is BB Games secretly watching me?"

-So, did you stream because you wanted to complain?

-At this rate, the guy should be paid an appearance fee, LOL.

-Did you find a new mechanism, like he mentioned? Is that why you didn't stream?

-Just by how close she is with her party, she probably had fun off-stream.

-What did you do with Irene and Grace last night? Show us too!

Before even heading to the guild in the morning, a notification for Han Se-ah's stream rang.

As I shower, I have her stream playing in the corner of my vision.

There she is, wearing leather armor and robes, interacting with her camera drone.

Included was a post from the previous night by 'Mr.Heartache'.

Everyone suspected there was something hidden since the golem hunting was repetitive.

Mr.Heartache, with his growing fame, wrote a post that quickly gained traction and recommendations.

But what surprised Han Se-ah wasn't the 'mechanism' part but the 'kill them without a second thought' part.

"After turning off the stream yesterday, I wanted to have some drinks with my teammates. But then we got a message from the Adventurer's Guild about some adventurers discovering something."

-She's enjoying cheat days in virtual reality now?

-Without streaming it?

-Why did you leave us in the dark after turning off the camera? It feels lonely and cold.

-Chat is a mess. Get to the point quickly!

-So what did you discover? Stopping trying to milk money and say it already!

"Ah, you're all so impatient. I'm explaining from the beginning, okay? Why would I bait for donations?"

[ExpertHanSeAhTranslator donated 5,000 won!]

Info) Here, the notification means a donation has been made.

-True.

-Look, just explain. Why sneak in excuses to get more donations?

-A true master at money making.

-Give more money quickly, or she'll keep diverting with random talk.

-5,000 won probably isn't enough for her.

Viewers furiously typed in chat as they watched her, with her staff in hand, preparing to leave the inn.

Unable to withstand their sharp criticism, Han Se-ah reluctantly played a recording of the adventurers' testimony from the previous day.

A middle-aged male adventurer with a bandage on his head and a younger adventurer with flushed cheeks.

The viewers were disappointed to see men in the video, but the testimonies immediately fired up the chat.

After the rock golem, there were steel golems and even a golden golem.

I've always thought that these guys are rather opportunistic, like hyenas.

They conveniently overlook the fact that it wasn't Han Se-ah who defeated the golems, but me.

To them, such details don't matter.

"Hello, Roland."

"Morning."

I strolled in to find some of my comrades already at the guild.

After Han Se-ah joined us at the table, surprisingly, it was Irene who initiated the conversation.

"All the adventurers who came to the temple yesterday left this morning. They said they didnt have any lingering injuries and were headed to the Magic Tower."

"The Magic Tower, huh? It does sound like something worth going to them for."

"If the patterns are spreading from the golden golem, it's definitely the territory of mages."

After our discussion, we began our usual preparations for exploring the tower.

The middle-aged, melancholic mage requested more moss, and the guild contracted us to gather minerals and mushrooms alongside it.

After inspecting our equipment and checking Han Se-ah's inventory for camping tools and food, we also confirmed the lantern hanging by our hips and our adventurer packs.

Thus began another typical adventure.

"Based on what we discussed yesterday, we'll search for the golem on the 21st floor. After engaging it, we'll stall for time. From what we've heard, after the steel golem appears, even if we take down the rock golem, a gold golem will emerge."

"So, it's a system where, if you beat the later-appearing ones, stronger and newer golems appear... Very interesting."

Leaving the Adventurers' Guild, our party headed towards the tower.

...A situation where a quest doesn't progress as expected because your teammates are so strong.

I'm starting to understand why Han Se-ah's nickname on the Heroes Chronicle Forum is starting to be '18*'.
