Chapter 38: Ch. 37 – Gain and Loss

After the fruitless nearly three months-long detour I make my way back to floor 50. I have nowhere else to go. I may have gotten a bit stronger from that but clearly not enough to overcome the wall's regeneration... maybe next Wizard level when - or if? - I gain an element to hit its weakness. But given how little exp I gain from reading and single target damage that may be hundreds of days... shit.

I walk through all the floors I've cleared so far and as before no monsters have respawned. That only bodes well for my success chances...

I arrive back on floor 50 and have myself prepared mentally for the incoming disappointment - only for my disappointment to be disappointed? Why's there a different boss now? I mean I'll definitely not say no to that lifeline but how? Why?
