Infinite Regressions In The Tower

Humans all over the world got transported into a strange tower, where they would awaken abilities akin to those of fairytales. And at the same a creature announced that if they did not clear the 50th floor, humans would be wiped out of existence. Kim Taeho was like everyone else, but he had awakened a unique ability. An ability that would make him stronger than anyone else: No matter what I do, no matter how many times I try, I still can't beat this floor because of this skill: - Perfect Clear [X] - If a perfect clear is not achieved, return to the point when you first entered the floor.

Break(1)

I saw the same blue sky, and instead of standing up immediately, I just stayed down to relax.

"Where the hell am I?"

Ignoring the middle-aged guy, I kept lying down, feeling the sun hitting my face. It made my face a little warm, and it was very relaxing.

I closed my eyes instead of seeing a completely black color.

A bright reddish color could be seen because the sunrays were hitting my eyelids.

'Yeah, this is it, I said while completely relaxing myself.

I lay here until the angel came out of the portal.

Ripple!

I didn't listen properly, as I had heard it hundreds of times.

I was thinking of what to do after I cleared the floor.

'I could see myself being near the beach and sunbathing with a drink in my hands as I enjoyed life'. I can't wait to get off this floor.

Soon everyone left the field except for the usual group of people.

As I still kept my eyes closed, I felt someone block the sun, so I opened my eyes.

It was a small girl blocking the sun from my face.

'Yon?'

"I think you should wake up; it is not safe here".

I didn't notice before, but she looked uncomfortable and scared. Has she always been this scared?

I guess she was only a small kid, so it made sense to be scared when you are in an unfamiliar place.

Sitting halfway up, I looked at her.

"Don't worry, this place here is safe; the other adults are exploring the field, trying to find a way to get out. Soon we can leave this place safe".

"..."

She still looked scared, so I stood up and crouched so we were eye to eye.

"I might not look like much, but I am the strongest here". I said this while flexing my muscles.

After leveling up so much, my body just naturally became muscular. But it wasn't like the bodybuilder; instead, I was more lean.

Her anxious face was replaced with a face of doubt.

"Haha, don't look at me like that. What do I need to do so I can prove it to you?".

She put her finger to her face and started to think.

"Can you fly?".

I was surprised, as I didn't expect that response. I couldn't fly, but I could probably jump very high instead.

"I can't fly, but I can jump super high! Do you want to see?".

She nodded.

So I crouched down and poured mana on my feet, and as I released it,

I flew very high up in the air, probably around 3–4 meters. I never really tried to jump as high as I could; therefore, I was a little shocked by the height of my jump.

As I landed on the ground, Yon had a shocked face.

"Wow, that is amazing! Do it again!"

So I jumped again as high as I could, and after I landed,

"Do you believe me now?"

"Not yet; do something more amazing!"

Is this not enough to convince her? Who else could jump as high as I could? I had definitely broken the world record.

As I was wondering what to show, I suddenly remembered my skill.

'wolf dash'.

It was the perfect skill to show, because from her point of view, it would look like I teleported.

Obviously, 'wolf dash' doesn't make me teleport, but she wouldn't know that.

I vanished from her sight and appeared 10 meters away.

"How is this?" I said excitedly.

"Did you just teleport?!"

"Yeah, that's exactly what I did; do you believe me now?". I said with a proud tone.

"Do it again!"

As she said that, I felt my heart sink because there was no way I could do it again.

It had a 1-minute cooldown.

"I don't need to; this should be enough to make you believe me".

She looked disappointed, but it was much better than being scared.

I went and patted her head.

"So don't worry; as long as I am here, you are safe. And also, this field is a safe place".

In all my regressions, no monsters have appeared in this field. The only monster that appeared here was the wolf.

Therefore, this field could be seen as a safe zone. 

I heard someone approach from behind.

"Young man, how did you just jump that high?".

A group of elderly people approached me and asked.

 I explained to them that it was because of my skill, and at the same time, I also taught them how to use their skills.

Soon, a bunch of elderly people used their skills.

After I taught them, we became closer, and we started to talk to pass the time.

All kinds of topics, like how they had grandchildren waiting for them at home. Or stuff like they forgot to turn the stove off.

Time passed like this, and soon I could hear rumbling sounds from the people here.

'Oh, they are probably hungry'. It must have been a long time since they had eaten.

Because of my high stats, I wasn't that hungry yet. But these people were probably starving.

With that in mind, I told them I would be back within an hour.

I sprinted towards the straw houses out of the field to get one of the boxes. In that box, I gathered a lot of food and water bottles.

After I was satisfied with the amount of food, I took the box and ran back to the field.

As I entered the field, I distributed the food to everyone. Everyone was grateful, but I didn't mind as it was light work for me.

One of the elderly people even asked if I was single because she had a granddaughter around my age.

I quickly asked if she was pretty, but I knew that it wouldn't really amount to anything.

It was fun to talk with these people.

Time passed quickly, and it became dark. I saw a group of people enter the field.

It was the middle-aged group that entered with a lot of boxes.

'Right on time'
