“…..What is this?”
My vision blurred and a new world appeared.
I stood there blankly, not knowing where I was.
I had just been in the white hallway of the hospital, but this was a closed room with black walls all around. The light coming from the stone on the ceiling was the only way to see.
There was a weird hologram floating around me.
The Obelisk?

Personal information?
I didn’t understand any of it. It all seemed to come straight out a movie.
Was my illness so bad that I was seeing illusions now?
“Is anyone there? Hello?”
Hello…..lo……lo…..lo
My voice echoed on the walls.
I got a grip on myself then.
There were two possible scenarios.
I was crazy, or…..

“…..This is real.”
Our poor schizo brother would’ve paced around, asking where this was, but I calmed myself down and tried to look at the situation with reason.
The more realistic judgment out of the two was the former.
The rare disease I had was hard to diagnose, so it wasn’t weird for illusions to suddenly be its symptoms.
It wouldn’t be strange for my brain to be influenced by the shock that my mother suddenly fainted.
So if this really was an illusion, there was nothing I could do until someone from outside treated me.
But…..
If this was reality.
It was totally nonsensical, but if, if some godly being granted my wish like in a movie or a novel…

Then what now?
“Let’s face it head-on first.”
I decided to accept this realistic illusion. If it really was an illusion, I had to find a way to get used to it, and if it was real, I needed to get back to my mother and brother.
Just then.
[All player information has been confirmed.]
[Player: Cha Jeong-woo]
[Would you like to continue?]
The letters in the hologram changed and new information was shown. It looked like a message one would see in a game.
I nodded.

3. Spear Type
4. Batting Type

6. Others
There were six categories in the list.
Each category had tens of weapons.
They were all things one could find in a game.
I pressed the one that was at the very top.

[Long Sword]
The blade is sharp and straight. The most basic weapon.
**The overall length is 90 centimeters, the width 3 centimeters, and the weight 2 kilograms.
[Would you like to select the ‘Long Sword?’]
[Warning! A weapon cannot be returned once selected, and you cannot choose other weapons.]
[Would you like to continue?]
I quickly lifted my hand from the hologram. The message about selecting the long sword disappeared.
‘I have to choose wisely.’
If this was reality, I had to be prepared. I didn’t know what would come after. I was dropped in a closed room after clicking “yes” to the message. It wasn’t normal. I wasn’t sure, but the weapon I chose now was probably directly related to my survival.

They were all weapons that seemed to be from the middle ages, but there was something that stood out.
[Crystal Ball]
An artifact that helps the flow of magic. It has a white light.
‘Crystal ball? Magic?’
Magic existed? But thinking about it, it wasn’t weird at all. Why wouldn’t it exist when people could be summoned by a message? Of course, that was all assuming this was real.
How much time had passed?
[You have been checking the list for longer than any other invited players have.]
[Your careful attitude can help in climbing the Tower. It is recorded in your accomplishments.]
[You have gained the trait ‘Thinker.’]

[A god is looking at your with interest.]
Trait? God? The message had information I couldn’t understand again.
Thinking that I should ask someone if I met them, I came to my decision.
[You have chosen the ‘scutum.’]
Scutum.
It was an item that was known as the “Tower Shield” in games. The scutum was 2 meters long, 80 centimeters wide, and weighed 15 kilograms. Multiple layers of wood supported the center and the top and bottom of the surface were fixed with gold.
The shield was so perfectly specialized for defense that history recorded it as the “walking turtle shell.”
There was no way that I would suddenly be able to grow just because I got a weapon when I had absolutely no talent for sports back in Korea.
Since I didn’t know what kind of danger would be outside, I had to focus on protecting myself.

I thought of getting a bigger shield, but it would be useless if it was too heavy, so I went with this.
Light flashed and the scutum that suddenly appeared in front of me had a fancy crest on it.
There was a cross in the center with wings spread to its sides.
I didn’t know what kind of crest it was, but the damages on its surface showed that it had been with someone through trials.
