I Don't Need To Log Out-Chapter 231: A Shift in Time

Arlon stood in the grand hall of Floor 9 – Level 2, watching as the last remnants of his enemies faded into nothingness.

His movements had been sharp, precise, and effortless, each swing of Aetherion's Edge cutting through the monsters as if they were nothing more than training dummies.

Still, before moving forward, he paused.

For the first time since entering the Tower, he attempted to send a message to June.

He accessed the system's communication panel, selecting her name—

Only to see the words:

[Connection Unavailable]

Arlon frowned.

He tried again.

Same result.

So, the Tower really does cut off all outside communication.

He supposed it made sense.

This place wasn't meant to be tackled in teams—everyone had to face its challenges alone.

But it was still annoying.

With a quiet sigh, he dismissed the panel.

There was no point dwelling on it.

Without hesitation, Arlon accepted the next level, Level 3.

As expected, it was the same setup as before—300 monsters, all between levels 70 and 80.

And, as expected, he wiped them all out in seconds.

Only one enemy remained.

Arlon activated Eyes of KET**, and the details appeared in front of him.

[Level 99]

He exhaled through his nose.

Still no challenge.

I wish I could bring Nyx. She would level up insanely here. But I probably wouldn't be able to enter with her.

Arlon vanished from sight—his speed far beyond what any level 99 enemy could react to—

And in an instant, the boss was dead.

A series of notifications immediately followed.

[Challenger, you have cleared Level 3 of Floor 9.]

[Would you like to advance to the next floor?]

He barely even glanced at them.

After his usual analysis of the floor, his hand reached out—

And he stepped into Floor 10.

---

The first two levels of Floor 10 were as predictable as before.

Level 1: 100 enemies, all 90-99 in level. Cleared instantly.

Level 2: 200 enemies, same levels. Gone in seconds.

Then came Level 3.

The 300 monsters that spawned were still level 99—

And just like before, they were no threat.

With a single wide-range ability, they were eliminated in under five seconds.

Only the boss remained.

Arlon's eyes narrowed as he activated Eyes of KET**.

[Level 107]

Arlon's fingers tightened around Aetherion's Edge.

So, every 10 floors, the existence level rises…

It wasn't just about leveling up monsters—the entire Tower itself seemed to have a structured difficulty curve.

At this rate, every 10 floors, the bosses would likely jump another existence level.

Arlon wasn't an A-level existence yet, at least not officially.

But he was still as strong as one, thanks to:

His Title. Unfair Regressor gave him absurd stat advantages.

His Experience. He had already surpassed these levels in his past life and he had become an A level existence.

And lastly, Agema's Training. Three months under her guidance had refined him more than years of fighting ever had.

So, this level 107 boss?

Still not a challenge.

A single step forward.

A single swing of his sword.

The boss collapsed instantly.

The usual notifications appeared.

[Challenger, you have cleared Level 3 of Floor 10.]

[Would you like to advance to the next floor?]

But before Arlon could answer, a new notification flashed across his vision.

[The time in the Tower will be readjusted.]

For a split second, a faint dizziness washed over him, but it disappeared just as quickly.

Arlon frowned slightly and pulled up the system panel to check the time difference.

When he checked the time difference, he realized that it had changed.

For every five seconds inside, only two seconds passed outside.

The ratio was 1:2.5 now, proving what Agema said was correct.

But the change happened only on the 10th floor.

He didn't know if the change would continue to be every 10 levels or if it would change, but if it happened at this rate, Arlon could definitely reach at least floor 50 in three months.

Without wasting another moment, Arlon dismissed the notifications and stepped forward.

It was time to continue.

Before Arlon entered the tower...

The moment June stepped through the portal, she felt a strange sensation, as if her body had been momentarily weightless before being grounded again.

When her vision cleared, she found herself standing in a dimly lit chamber.

The floor beneath her was made of polished black stone, smooth and reflective, yet it carried no reflection of her own image.

The walls stretched upward, seemingly endless, giving the space a vast yet oppressive feeling.

At the far end of the room, there was a small corridor, leading to what appeared to be another glowing portal.

Unlike the city transportation portals she had used before, this one emitted an unnatural blue glow with streaks of purple weaving through it—as if it were alive.

June's sharp eyes immediately scanned her surroundings.

Scattered around the room were various objects—ancient weapons, broken armor pieces, and even faded banners with insignias she didn't recognize.

It was clear that this place wasn't originally built for Trionians.

This must have been a trial ground for challengers, she thought, much like how Arlon had theorized that Trion itself wasn't the first world to use EVR's system.

Even the architecture of the waiting chamber felt foreign, unlike anything she had seen in Trion before.

Still, she didn't dwell on it for long.

The only thing that mattered now was moving forward.

Taking a deep breath, June adjusted her grip on Infernal Spire, her fire-enchanted staff, before stepping toward the blue-purple portal.

And with that, her Tower challenge began.

***

As soon as she entered, a notification appeared in front of her.

[Welcome to the Tower of /&[#$(%, challenger. Floor 1, Level 1 will start as soon as the challenger is ready.]

[Do you want to start the challenge?]

June's brows furrowed slightly at the strange symbols in the Tower's name.

She shook off the thought. There was no point in overanalyzing right now.

"Yes," she answered, and the new monsters spawned.
