Seems to me that the guardian played a part in Baam's fate

And Lahel still is in her personal graviational chair, so maybe she was indeed hurt, and she can stand but for short amount of time

Hmm, nice thinking but... wouldn't it cause suspicion that her leg is healed, when baam did not return? after all the test is to let lehal pass because she's injured

주인공 교체가 이루어진 75화였습니다.

...어라?!

당분간은 산 속으로 들어가 작업하고 가끔 속세에 내려와 담당자님께 원고를 전달해야 겠군요. 하하;

별점과 조회수는 이미 포기했습니다. 돈 좀 적게 받으면 됩니다...... 잘리지만 않게 해주십쇼 굽신굽신

사실 생각보다 신의 탑이 인기를 얻어서 작품의 방향을 바꿔볼까 고민했던 것도 사실이지만..

역시 처음에 계획했던데로 신의 탑을 그려가고 싶습니다.

안 그러면 평생 제가 절 원망할 것 같아요.

이번 에필로그는 1부와 2부의 전환점이 되는 화에요.

라헬과 밤의 운명이 나눠지는 화이기도 하고..

이제부터의 스토리의 방향을 제시하는 화이기도 하고..

이제부터 라헬이 왜 밤을 밀었는지가 나오게 되겠군요.

그럼 다음 화도 기대해 주시면 감사하겠습니다.

It was chapter 75 where the main character switch happened.
...Huh?
I must go up in a mountain in order to work, only coming down to society to deliver the script to the director. Haha;
I already gave up on the stars and the views. I can just receive less money...... Just don't get me fired.. Please please
Honestly, because ToG has gotten more popularity then I anticipated, It is true that I pondered about changing the direction of this piece..
But, I want to draw ToG as I first planned.
If I do not, I'll blame myself for the rest of my life.

This epilogue is the chapter where the switch from Pt.1 to Pt.2 occurs.
It's also the chapter where Lahel and Baam's destiny gets seperated.
Now the Lahel's reason for pushing Baam will appear soon.

So, please stay tuned for the next chapter. ^^

actually I think this is for the better somehow, I mean we want baam to get in the wing tree (being freaking awesome), but that doesn't mean we wanna see, koon and the others get dragged by baam to the top like free riders...

I don't think it will be a problem... after all in the end the treatment was something the director supposedly held back, that was otherwise easy, because he wanted baam to ask the guardian...

Hmmm, so we don't really see what happened to Baam... Not surprising, thought so much... Maibe SIU will keep him hidden until the beginning on the next season... Or maybe he really died, though I don't really think so...

Not much action in this chapter but what I can tell is that:
- Lahel (I'll stick with this as is still correct and it's shorter ) is a really good actor...
- Lahel and Hwa Ryun know/knew each other... maybe even what happened in the crown game was all an act... (this is pretty much what this chapter's all about and can spawn several theories or complete ones already shared on this forum...)
- Hatsu's sword seems to materialize out of nowhere with very cool special effects (it seems different from the inventories we've seen so far)
- Baam is a really good guy, making sure everyone passes even if he fails... although is seems weird he thought about the possibility he would fail considering how determined he was in climbing the tower with Lahel...

Hmm... I don't know how much more I can deduce right now... It's a pretty weak chapter in terms of revealing content... I have some ideas but are not really clear in my head... Maybe more can be said after the translation... and of course, after the next chapters in the season...

PS: I just read the author's blog translation... after I wrote everything of the above, and I think maybe he left us a clue... in that going to the mountains just to be able to continue working, and giving up on the stars... maybe Lahel made such a sacrifice and had to tend over Baam, but later decided that she can not live without her dream and leave Baam to climb the tower... Hmm... or maybe there's no hidden meaning and I'm just overthinking... Also... SIU says next chapter but from what I've seen he sure likes to tease...

We don't know if lehal knew her, she might know the truth that she pushed baam. also Hwa was at the directors place so he probably knew about it to,

doubt he held back, because he does not seem like a guy who would do favors for others, without earning anything in return. He just did not want to do it.

Also i wonder what the zombie said, truth is he annoys me to no ending. wanted that the swordsman killed him XD

Thanks so much LaFa! And yeah, he's trolling us reeaaall hard. I can get a character switch. Main character switches give other POVs, and work out great in other series. I even expected a character switch since last week, when others theorized that Baam has been whisked away for training.

But the blog + current chapter combination makes it sound as though Rachel there is becoming the main character instead, and that's just a Tad creepy to me. D: She's just waaay too much of a good actor (and yes she's probably faking her injuries still). She's set to manipulate the whole group to help her up the tower in Baam's place.

That said, I'm looking forward to her "reason" next week. Also, the story from here on isn't necessarily told through her POV, it could be told through the POV of someone else like Koon for example.

He didn't hold back? He held back the treatment aka the doctors for Rachel treatment (or so he said), in reallity he was probably just making a possible excuse for Lahel/Rachel, in order to make her enter the group...

yes something fishy is going on here... very fishy

Like i know he said that only experienced dokters can heal her, and it will cost a lot.. or something like that. not wanting and holding back is something different. she did receive dokters however it wasn't good enough.

about the fishy part... I Agree also got a feeling koon might know the truth that lehal pushed him

Concerning Lahel's legs healing business... maybe she did receive the needed treatment from the director and everything else was all an act... I mean, if Lahel can fool everyone, why can't the director... even saying everything he said to Baam about expensive treatment and later about holding out on the treatment...

If Hwa Ryun is working with/for the director and she knows Lahel too, well, it may be that Lahel is not really acting alone here and that the plan to set up Baam for killing/hiding for training/just messing with his feeling (who knows what right now?) involved a larger party of people... after all, Baam is an irregular... treating his entry in the tower is not something they would just overlook, right?... or as some theories already explained... maybe there was some sort of plan even before he entered...

SIU said Baam's destinies and Lahel's are separated from this point onwards... and that maybe we won't be seeing Baam as the main for some time... or even EVER... but at least we know he isn't really dead... at least that's what results from what SIU says...

EDIT: Somehow I feel that there's more important info in SIU's blog post than in the actual chapter... funny thing...

EDIT2: Lero ro tells them they passed the test... because of Baam's talk with the Guardian... so Lahel must have known about this otherwise pushing him could mean she would fail the test too...

Well, he did say that baam will become a proper main character. so doubt we won't see him for to long. they are probably busy with revealing the past of lehal, so perhaps in the last chapter of volume 1. we will see baam in the ending... probably..

[potato]

I wonder if Koon will figure out what really happened, I think Baam is still alive but I cannot see how Lahel could have done any of this for Baam's wellbeing unless she knew Yu Han Sung and Hwa Ryun would have made a more overt move if Baam had lived through the test.

Did Baam pass or fail the test? I saw people mention he talked to the guardian in this chapter and made sure the team's pass/fail did not depend on him entering the Mama Whale's mouth only Lahel but is it a). Baam failing or passing does not effect the group's fail/pass or b.) Baam does pass he is just assumed dead like a loophole the guardian forgot to cover if Baam is able to survive.

I just do not see much of a future for Baam if he is stuck in the floor of test since he will probably be discovered at some point in time unless possibly Yu Han Sung is actually on Baam's side and just needed people to think he is dead so he can coach him or something xD it reminds me of when Yu Han Sung mentioned there was a wave that was going to shake the entire tower does not make much sense looking at the group of regulars but Baam on the other hand....

No this seems like lahel made a backdoors deal to kill baam for a free ride to the top, but having said that i don't think she could do it.

Haha he's trolling us sooo hard ._.

lol, he loves doing that. sort of how he trolls the company

[Pasteduck]

I do hope SIU is just playing around with us with the main character switch. I dislike Lahel as a character, not just because she did this but because SIU hasn't really developed her character into anything meanful for me. Lahel is a lightbearer, she is not going to stronger than Koon as a Lightbearer in my opinion in these tests so what would be the point in trying to put her in that situation.

I had a feeling that SIU wasn't going to show us anything about Baam this week but I was hoping for it.

[reseter]

Well i have this Crazy idea stuck in my head that Hwa is really Evankell this is based on a fact that Evan mentions Evankell being red headed and his reaction to Hwa in chapter 72. Through whats his deal with Lahel is beyond me.

Edited by reseter, 11 December 2011 - 07:05 PM.

[potato]

I doubt Evankhell would lose an eye to a shinsoo newbie like Baam and we were told Evankhell would murder anyone interfering with the test I think Hwa Ryun has some secrets but none of them are being Evankhell =p.

[reseter]

well he could have some agenda following bam and lahel . In the crown game him atacking lahel and loosing an eye could be just a setup.If not then i think hes a proxy for bigger player

Maybe she is Evankhell's daughter and already a ranker... Since Evankhell is an important person in tower, it wouldn't be weird If Evan knew her.
And she might be a princess and Evankhell's daughter at the same time.

[Murkel]

Chances are very high Hwa Ryun is a princess given the clues SIU has given us.

[Funfreek]

No wonder Rachel is sick; she was covered in sewege! Gross.
