Here are some additional information concerning the 13th high Ranker.

credits: Naver.com@batoto said:
Eurasia Blossom
Sobriquet: Flower Shrimp
Age: Unknown
Height: 1m 55cm
Birthplace: Unknown
Position: Wave Controller
Rank: 13
The family head of the Eurasia family.
Because she has the appearance of a young child and loves fancy clothing she was given the sobriquet Flower Shrimp.
Her skills at controlling shinsoo are said to be the best even among the 10 great family heads. But while Poe Vidor Gustang, another family head, was a pioneer of shinsoo research, Blossom never showed much interest on the subject.
(However, Blossom's capability on the battlefield is said to be above that of Gustang's)
It is told that Gustang was jealous of Blossom's talents and his jealousy can often found in Gustang's many works. In one of Gustang's earlier works it is written, "Blossom is one of the top wave controllers but she won't be able to teach you a thing. She doesn't even know how she does it herself," a snide remark on Eurasia.
Because of this, in the tower, when a talented person feels jealous of someone even more talented it supposed to be 'like how Gustang sees Blossom.'(Later, this phrase comes to mean a man and woman with a bad relationship.)
If Gustang was a 'helper' wave controller that used shinsoo to aid combat, Blossom was a 'offensive' wave controller, using shinsoo to attack a target directly. Because the way she manipulates shinsoo is wild and unpredictable, even other family heads are said to have fled when she started using shinsoo.
Although her skills don't fall behind the other family heads, Blossom hasn't involved herself to the politics of the tower since the great journey and has never looked after her family the tower floors she ruled. Because of this she received a lot of criticism from the other family heads.
Interestingly enough, Blossom and Gustang were once lovers but broke up after the famous Eurasia Enne Zahard incident(Enne Zahard is the child of Blossom and Gustang, and Blossom is said to have been against Enne becoming a Zahard princess). Afterwards the Eurasia family and the Poe Vidor family forbid all marriages between the families and have been very hostile toward each other.
Also, the Eurasia main family is opposed to Zahard princesses getting chosen from their family(or it could mean Zahard princesses getting chosen in general, it's too vague).
P.S. Laure is from a branch of the Eurasia family. This family loves to sleep and is talented at controlling shinsoo
Spoiler

And the last one is about the 3 lords of the tower.

credits:Naver.com@batoto said:
The 3 Lord System
A political system where 3 lords take turns ruling every 1000 years. This is an old tradition that has existed since Zahard established a nation in the tower and stems from the crest of the crimson three eyes of the Zahard family.
The 3 lords have highest authority in all the politics of the tower, and has the final say on the items submitted by the 'Ruler's Conference.'
To avoid being bound by their heredity, they discarded their surnames and use only their first name.

1. Molic One P. GR
The eldest of the 3 lords. he is known as a conservative ruler who attaches great importance to the stability of the tower. The name Molic comes from the area he once lived in, and Molic means 'the absolute.' However it is untold what the name P. GR stands for. He is the only one of the 3 lords whose backgrounds are unknown.

2. Joochun
Joochun is known to be a progressive lord. He strongly asserts the advancement to the next floor Because he love alcohol, he was named Joochun for 'alcoholic river'(Joo-alcohol chun-river) He was born between Ari Han and a mother who was native to the tower, but her mother is said to have died as she gave birth to him. There is a rumor that he is a drinking buddy to Urek Mazino, but this is unconfirmed.

3. Magician/Flux
The lord known as the Magician. He is the first disciple of Mexes and is one of the fathers of the factory. Like all the other fathers of the factory, Magician is and artificial organism created by Mexes. However, no one has seen his real self, and only the illusions he made appear here and there in the tower.

Well if you are also annoyed that the automerge limit of 30 days is too high, you can back up Teubier and myself in the suggestion thread :-)

Thanks Los and Haho, I added the information to the first post! Fixed a mistake regarding Adori Zahard, who is supposed to own the Golden December. There isn't a Golden December though, so I'm pretty sure it has to be the Golden November

Added Information on 8 of the 10 Great Families in the first post too

After conquering the Tower with Jahad, the 10 Great Warriors each start their own clan. These are the Ten Great Clans. Although not as talented as Jahad, each clan still possessed incredible talents. The Ten Clans are:
  • Arie (Leader: Arie Hon; Known Members: Arie Hagipherione Jahad)
  • Koon (Leader: Koon Eduan; Known Members: Koon Agnis Agero, Koon Hatchuling, Koon Maschenny Jahad, Koon Maria Jahad)
  • Bia (Leader: ???; Known Members: Lo Po Bia Ren)
  • Biduh (Leader: Po Biduh Gustang)
  • Tu Peri (Leader: Tu Peri Tperi)
  • Eurasia (Leader: Eurasia Blossom; Known Members: Eurasia Anne Jahad, Phonsekal Laure (Branch Family) )
  • Ha (Leader: Ha Yurin; Known Members: Ha Yuri)
  • Ma (Leader: ???)

---------- Post added March 05, 2012 at 05:03 PM ---------- Previous post was February 27, 2012 at 08:35 PM ----------

Looks like we missed quite some info, there's a lot more translated already :zomg Added this to the front page:


1. More Information on Adori Zahard (Rank 8):

Title: Killer Whale
Age: 5000+
Height: 1 m 84 cm
Birthplace: Floor 132
Position: Fisherman
Ranking: 7 (TN: Strange, it should be 8, but on the blog post it says 7…)

Adori Jahad. The strongest Princess. The Captain of Jahad’s Royal Guards.
Wielding the only S-rank weapon of the 13 Months Series, the Golden November, she has a multitude of both male and female fans because of her golden hair and beautiful face.

Although she is a ranker above rankers, she has no noticeable accomplishments or achievements. And even though she is the Captain of Jahad’s Royal Guards, because she does not like wandering around, she rarely participates in active duty.
Even with this, she is still entrusted with the Captain of the Guards position.

Why?

Only one reason:

Her unfathomable strength.

Even before she became a ranker, she defeated an upper level ranker (quite easily), and even Garam Jahad was overwhelmingly pushed to her limits before her.
(Before the Anne Jahad incident, Garam and Adori fought once. It hasn’t been 100 years since Adori became a ranker, yet she was able to overwhelm Garam.)
And since, in the few fights against rankers, she defeated all of them with overwhelming combat prowess.

Many people compare her to Anne Jahad, but no one can easily determine who is stronger between the two. The debate still rages on today and is a favored topic of discussion amongst rankers.

Adori is known to be a cold and quiet person. She has little care for the happenings of the world, and she often gets lost in her own fantasies; however there are many secrets in her private life and no one really knows her true self.

But.
It is widely known that she will allow a person she likes to call her by her birth name.
(Her birth name is Adoru).

2. More Information on Ha Yurin (Rank 10):

Title: Snake Head
Age: ???
Height: 190 cm
Birthplace: ???
Position: Fisherman, Scout
Ranking: 10

The leader of the Ha clan, one of the 10 Great Families. Grandmother of Yuri Jahad (appearance-wise, Yurin doesn’t look much older than Yuri)

Although she is a woman, she possesses a very aggressive and bold personality. Amongst the 10 Great Warriors, she would often be the first one to engage in combat.

She had two children (twins) with another great clan leader, Ari Han (TN: not Arie Hon), but they never married. Although she had many other relationships since, she never gave birth again. (This is not uncommon among the 10 Great Clans. Compared to their extremely high ages, the amount of children they have is relatively small)

Because of this, the Ha family does not have many branch families, and the main branch of the family is centered on Yurin’s two sons.
However, the two sons do not have a friendly relationship, and each claims that he is the rightful heir to the clan. Even within the Han family, there is a not-so-small quarrel about this matter.
Of course, Yurin has no interest in such things, and lately, she’s has ceased all her other activities and is enjoying herself in her main house.

She possessed a very rough but intelligent fighting style, and she possessed a strong enough physique to perform the duties of both a fisherman and a scout.
With grace and flexibility, she weaved through the battle field, and it is said she was the first to use Shinsoo to strengthen one’s body.

After she became a clan leader, she has not participated in battle.
Within the Ha clan, her presence as the head is more symbolic, and she rarely governs the clan herself.

With the birth of Yuri (who greatly resembles Yurin), the Ha clan placed their faith in her, hoping that she would collect all 13 months series weapons. Because of this, Yuri’s title takes after her grandmothers (Black Snake Head).

3. More Information on Tu Peri Tperi (Rank 11):

Title: God’s Eye
Age: ???
Height: 173 cm
Birthplace: ???
Position: Light Bearer
Ranking: 11

One of the 10 Great Family’s Heads.
The first Light Bearer of the tower, no one knows how he came to be that position. Whenever he reminisces about the time he became a Light Bearer, he’s known to have said “The Heavens gave me the Eyes of God”. However, it could have been that people chose to believe a “well-fabricated story” rather than a “solid truth”.

After the Great Journey (TN: Jahad and the 10 conquering the tower), he is one of the most active Clan Heads, and along with the Blacksmiths, created many items. He is also the pioneer of the system in which the Light Bearer acts as the intermediary for all communications within a team.

The most famous of his creations is the ‘Opera’ Lighthouse, one of the greatest Lighthouses of the tower. The ‘Opera’ extends the user’s Shinsoo field to infinity (beyond all reason and boundaries), making it the ultimate dream of all Light Bearers. It also contains defensive measures that put even Armor Inventories to shame. With all of its Lights, no blind spot exists for the ‘Opera’.
(TN: I wasn’t sure, but I think it’s implied that using the Opera, one can also have an infinite range for any shinsoo related things, whether it’s a direct attack or shinsoo restriction)

But because it requires the highest quality Suspendium and many impossible-to-find materials, only three were made, and it is unlikely that any more will be made.

Honestly, because a man who developed the system where ‘the Light Bearer acts as the center of all other Positions’ created an item that turns ‘the Light Bearer into a one-man-show’, many complain that whie the ‘Opera’ Lighthouse is the ultimate evolution of the Lighthouse, it at the same time is an item that makes the basic purpose of the Light Bearer null.
Of course, these are the complaints of those who cannot comprehend the powers of those above.
(TN: If it wasn’t clear, it’s basically saying that the man who created the Light Bearer position also made an item that made the Light Bearer position basically unnecessary)

Of the three ‘Opera’s, one is in the hands of Tperi (However, he does not use the Opera, he uses a even greater Light House called ‘The God’s Eye’, creator unknown), one is in the hands of Flux (one of the 3 lords; currently sleeping), the last is in the hands of Jaina Repelista Jahad (A princess that never climbed the Tower, uses the Opera to spy on the world).

If the ‘Opera’ ever appeared on the market, its price will be immeasurable, but looking at the current wielders, it’s unlikely that it’ll ever appear on the market.

4. More Information on Molic One P. GR (Rank 12 and one of the 3 Lords):

Sobriquet: Molic One
Age: Unknown
Height: 7m 39cm (Normally about 2m)
Birthplace: Unknown
Position: All positions
Rank: 12

The eldest out of all 3 lords.

If Zahard is the symbolic ruler of the tower, Molic One is of course the actual and most powerful ruler. Even among the 3 lords he is the most powerful and his influence rivals that of a family head.

His name, Molic One derives from Molic, the area he lived in and Molic has the meaning of 'the absolute.'

As his name implies he was once the absolute ruler of the Molic area, but under Zahard's conciliation he became one of the 3 lords.

He is said to have been a powerful warrior not even Zahard could take lightly but because that was far in the past, there aren't many records left to prove this. He is said to have been skillful with his giant halberd and could fill in any position but it would be more correct to say he fought thoughtlessly, not bound by position.

After he became a lord Molic has been faithful to his duties and has turned into a very gentle and dignified(?) ruler. But the charisma he sometimes shows during the rulers' conference is said to be more than enough to overwhelm all the other rulers.

5. More Information on Po Biduh Gustang (Rank 14):

Title: The Lonely Wave
Age: ???
Height: 1 m 83 cm
Birthplace: ???
Position: Wave Catcher
Ranking: 14

1. Po Biduh Gustang is the Tower’s most famous Wave Catcher and writer. Excluding the eccentrics within the Blacksmiths, he probably knows the most about the Tower.

2. Along with the glasses he wears to better see the flow of Shinsoo and an elegant brunette hair, he’s actually quite a handsome guy. However, because of his quiet, reserved expression, most find it hard to approach him, so he’s often the ‘target of affections’.
Blossom once commented on Gustang’s good looks,
“Yeah, he’s like an elegant, ancient book”
“…the same kind that make you yawn after reading.”

3. After splitting with Blossom, acting contrary to his appearance, he started to walk around with different women.
However, his greatest followers took his side and stated that he was acting up because the empty spot where Blossom once was too big.
Of course, when he went from a ‘nice guy’ to a ‘bad guy’, his popularity increased even more.
(This is all an old story…)

4. The males of Gustang’s clan work in a research group called the ‘Research Association’. If they do not make it as members, they are eventually kicked out of the clan. Because it is a very powerful and exclusive group, the members enjoy high reputation and fame, matched only by the ‘Chosen Children of Koon’.

5. Gustang and the Blacksmiths have a pretty close relationship. So much so that Macseth (The great father of Blacksmithing) and Gustang often get together to exchange stories.
Because of this close relationship, there exists a rumor that says ‘Gustang knows the way out of the tower’.
Hearing this rumor, Urek Mazino once visited Gustang to learn the way to leave the tower. However, he left after a while with a headache and complained to Baek Ryun,
“It’ll be easier for me to dig my way out of the tower with a spoon, than to learn anything from that guy.”

6. Other than Shinsoo and the Tower, Gustang was highly interested in researching the ‘Guide’ Position. However, the topic of the ‘Guide’ is a highly taboo topic within the ‘Research Association’. Perhaps it’s because of his pride as a researcher that he doesn’t want anyone else to take his research targets?

7. It’s widely known that Gustang was both Blossom’s greatest fan and hater. There are many stories floating around about the union of the two, however, most are fake.
But it is a fact that a certain legal document exists in the possession of the sealed Princess, Anne Jahad, that contains a secret about the two…

6. SIU's blog posts about the Part 2 chapters:

So it’s begun.

I’m more nervous than the time I started Part 1.

I had a lot of worries about Part 2,

But I’m hoping that everything will turn out to be good.

1.

Part 2 will be divided into multiple episodes.

The first of those episodes will start next week.

I might take a small break after each episode,

But nothing is set.

2.

Officially, Jahad has no prince.

[TN: I interpret “Officially” to mean “On record” or “Widely-known”]

3.

I think Part 2 will be a bit lighter than Part 1.

I think..

Anyways, overall, I think Part 2 will be pretty fun, haha.

p.s.

5 years in the tower is not long at all.

But it’s enough to change a person. Lol

[TN: Author literally uses korean equivalent of ‘lol’ here]

Ja Wang-Nan backwards is “I Am Prince”.

…That’s some genius wordplay, AMIRITE?

[TN: I’m starting to think the author’s a pretty big joker]

……

Unlike Part 1, instead of having one main character,

Part 2 will tell the story of many different characters.

So please stop asking me who the main character is ;;

So everyone thought Wang-Nan was going to be super strong when he came out

…but come on, that’s not how these things go.

People are asking me if characters from Part 1 will appear again.

Yes, they will appear.

In fact, one already appeared, right?

[TN: This might be definitive proof that long-hair is Baam. But knowing the troll-like tendency of this author, he might also be referring to Androssi appearing on that magazine in chapter 1…]

This is Chapter 2.

I guess you could say this is the chapter for introducing the characters of this Episode.

The focus was less about progressing the story and more about introducing characters.

It’s the commonly used technique of using up a chapter in manhwas, haha.

If the characters in Part 1 generally represented the upper-class members of the Tower,

Then this episode’s characters will be representing the middle-class members.

Still… compared to Part 1, their pure combat prowess will be better.

Of course, you still can’t compare them to Androssi’s strength or Koon’s brains ^^;

Truthfully, when I started Part 2

I wanted to show a more experienced and composed self,

But I’m still lacking and worrying a lot.

So please love the characters of Part 2,

And thanks again for reading Tower of God (and visiting me in the blogs). ^^

Is his hair glued to his forehead?

[TN: Written in a joking tone. Oh, and this is all he wrote.]

Mm… A lobster has appeared.

I really like sea food.

Probably coz I live in the inlands…

But sea food is delicious!

A bit expensive, though…

[TN: Maximum Troll-mode engaged…]

Part 2’s First Episode pays a lot of homage to classic Shounen Manhwa.

Since I don’t really have a set genre for the Tower of God,

It may feel like different genres at times

I plan on changing themes with each new episode.

So is this episode going to be like Shounen?...

Actually no,

You can probably tell but the problems represented are more associated with people in their 20s and not 10s.

[TN: As in people worrying about loans, taking ‘entrance’ exams to ‘upper’ levels, etc..]

That’s why the floor is also F20.

But I still want kids in their 10s to enjoy,

So I’ll try to limit the presentation of age differences.

Next chapter will have more characters,

And it looks like we’re gonna officially start our story.

So please look forward to next week.

Thank you, ^^

p.s. – Visitors to the blog surpassed one million, yaay.

On a sidenote I really want to see the mentioned lords or more like look 100 chapters ahead and see all the badassery :hee

Most of you might’ve noticed, but this test
Is an idea borrowed from the Dragon Ball’s Tenchibukai test.
Truthfully, it’s a common concept that appears quite often in shonen manhwa,
But I thought it’d be fun, and I always wanted to draw a scene like this,
So I chose this test.
(In reality, Leroro’s Shinsoo Wall test was also a shonen staple ^^;;
You can take this test as a similar one)

Lately, I’ve been loaded with work, and preparing for the next part’s completion
Is taking a toll on my health
I didn’t get to go out once this week… ah.. I want to see the sun…
And so for the next few chapters, there won’t be a sudden increase in content
It’s regrettable, but it’s better to have a consistent level of content, so please don’t get angry with me, ^^

Ah, and it seemed like many people were curious about the names of the characters in Part 2.

Silver-hair: Hon Arkraptor
Teddy Bear: Kang Ho-ryang
Schoolgirl: Yeo Mi-seng
Glaasesgirl: Yeo Go-seng
Delivery kid: Nya Nia

Other character’s names will be revealed throughout the chapters.

Thankyou~!

This weeks authors translation.

SIU said:
And the power game stops now.
After drawing nothing but complicated tests,
it was nice having such a simple test for once, lol
It's like I was a kid again

The biggest difference between Part 1 and Part 2 is, of course, Koon.
If a genius scammer like Koon appears, then the games get complicated, lol.

About the name Viole (TN: Baam's fake name)
The name Viole is from the color Violet,
and the full name is Jyu Viole Grace.
More details will be revealed next week.

Hwa Jeop Gong Pa Sul (TN: Eh.. I'll let the Company translate this more closely; it's the name of Baam's attack style, as noted by Love, in the chapter; Also, Love also says "FUG?" right after, implying it's a fighting style of FUG members) is a one of the striking styles that uses Shinsoo.
Basically, it involves transferring the shock of Shinsoo from one's body to the target object.
It's a pretty dangerous skill.
(I'm currently preparing a file on Shinsoo usage, once I'm done, I'll put it up on the blog)

As for Yeon,
She's seems like a character roughly similar to Androssi (pretty, feminine, good stats)
However there's a degree of difference,
You'll see what I mean.

Next week,
We'll begin the story of Wang-nan
which you won't be able to read without crying, lol
Please look forward to it~

Very interesting information and maybe one of the most disturbing ones on the 16 High Ranker:

Name: Hendo Lok Bloodmadder

Title: Long-Life Sea Turtle

(TN: That’s the official English given by the author)
Age: ???
Height: 13m 27cm

(TN: Don’t gloss over this height, this guy is a GIANT. 43.54 feet)
Birthplace: ??
Position: Defender (Special Position)
Ranking: 16

As a reward for passing its test, the Guardian of the 100th Floor of the Tower gave Zahard and the 10 Family Heads the gift of immortality.
However there was one who was excluded from the gift: The Hendo Family’s Head, Bloodmadder.
(Exact reason for why he was excluded is not known.)

Bloodmadder begged the Guardian for a way to receive eternal life,
And the Guardian made a single condition:

“If you give your child and your child’s child the curse of short life,
You will be able to live an eternal life alone, through the life you’ve taken from them.”

Although Bloodmadder was conflicted,
He could not overcome the fear of death.

And so, Bloodmadder accepted the Guardian’s condition and asked for immortality.
Since, all those born under Bloodmadder would be cursed with a short life.
(Of course, a ‘short life’ in the Tower is roughly a 100 years.
And it may be slightly longer for Rankers.
However, Hendo’s children cannot become immortal.)

Afterwards, to increase his longevity, Bloodmadder needed to sire many children.
Of the 10 Families, Bloodmadder is the one who’s had the most children.
(The one with the most wives is Koon Eduan.)
This is because his increased life is tied to his children’s sacrificed life spans.
No one knows the exact details of his contract with the Guardian,
But it’s clear that as he becomes older, he needs to maintain an increasing number of children.
(TN: Wow… this is just messed up… If you imagine that one of the princess of zahard is 5000+ old, then the family heads must be much older than that. If his children only live to be a 100, then this guy must have had and sacrificed hundreds of children…)

Perhaps this is the reason why the Hendo Family is one of the 10 Families with the least influence.
They also have smallest amount of Rankers.

But they maintain and uphold an ironclad set of rules,
And Bloodmadder’s position within the clan is absolute.
(The Rankers that uphold the Hendo Family are all Hendo’s adopted sons and daughters.)

Meanwhile, Hendo’s children who inherit his blood
Often lie about their backgrounds to marry.
Because of this “Deceiving Marriage”, Bloodmadder’s blood was scattered throughout the Tower,
And eventually forced the government to expand a significant amount of resources to seek out and isolate those carrying “Bloodmadder’s Blood”.

Bloodmadder’s title, “Long-Life Sea Turtle”
Comes from his drive toward immortality,
And also is tied to his position.

He holds a special position called the “Defender”.
It is a position that protects the Spear Bearer or the Light Bearer.
When he teamed up with the once greatest spear bearer in the Tower, Koon Eduan, it was said they were unstoppable.

(Of course, Bloodmadder is capable of filling all positions magnificently.)

In his comments SIU is stating that "He is a character very involved with Yu Han Sung"

so we get a new position and a possible relation to Yu Han Sung. He may even be the person Yu Han Sung was talking too, who knows.
And some of the Guardians really must be god-like beings if one can make the whole Zahard group immortal o____O


Updated the 10 Great Families:

After conquering the Tower with Jahad, the 10 Great Warriors each start their own clan. These are the Ten Great Clans. Although not as talented as Jahad, each clan still possessed incredible talents. The Ten Clans are:

  • Arie (Leader: Arie Hon; Known Members: Arie Hagipherione Jahad)

Added information about the "FUG":

1. Slayer

Within their infrastructure, FUG has 11 Slayers.
The origin of the name is very simple:
‘One who kills’ Zahard and the 10 Families.

There are 7 Slayers currently living:
5 have unknown whereabouts;
2 are reigning as ‘devils’,
And the remaining 4 positions are vacant.

2. Organization

FUG is at the same time an organization and not an organization.
They have no physical forms or headquarters, but membership is bound very strongly.
Similar to religious faith, membership of FUG is embedded deep within the members’ hearts,
And wherever they walk or stay becomes a headquarter of FUG.

3. Structure

FUG itself has no structure.
They are simply FUG, and they act upon faith of their Slayers.

The countless groups that operate under FUG simply work toward their given goals and do not associate directly with FUG.
They do not know the true form of FUG.
They only accept the fact that FUG is an existence darker then they are.

And a new organization, the Gong Bang (The Creation Room, The Blacksmiths):

1. Origin

No one knows the origin of Gong Bang (TN: In this context, ‘origin of Creating’).
And to find the origin is the group’s ultimate goal.
The Tower’s Gong Bang was started by the great father Macseth.
But according to Macseth, the Gong Bang exists outside of the Tower,
And the ultimate ambition of the Gong Bang is to find the order and reason of all creation in the world
And to know how to recreate all such creation, and by doing so, reach the God of all creation.

2. Macseth and the 4 Children

Macseth lived in the Tower before the 10 Family Heads entered,
And he was critical in helping the 10 Families climb the Tower.
It can be said that the ‘science’ that is used in the Tower originated from Macseth,
But truthfully there is almost nothing that is known about Macseth.

There are 4 students who are called his children:

Max, Mai, Mad, May

They are all ‘Artificial Lifeform’ created by Macseth,
And they hold the position of Great Teacher within the Gong Bang.

According to rumor, each of the four all hold different personalities and knowledge,
And one of them, contrary to his title of Great Teacher, is a very mischievous prankster.

The Ranking Administration, due to their relationship with the Gong Bang, do not include these four in the Rankings,
But overall, it is judged that the four have S-rank levels of combat capabilities and influence.

3. Disciple of the Gong Bang

Just like the Regulars of the Tower, the Disciples of the Gong Bang are also chosen, by the Teachers of Gong Bang.
After a set period of training, they become a Disciple of the Gong Bang.
As their position and title rises within the group, the Disciples enjoy benefits rivaling those of Rankers.

In special cases, a Disciple may be chosen to become a Regular.
In that case, the Disciple is expelled from the Gong Bang.

On the other hand, there also have been cases where a Ranker became a Disciple.
(Not expelled from the Rankings, however)

4. The Knowledge of the Gong Bang

The knowledge of the Gong Bang cannot be given to an outsider; this is the absolute law of the Gong Bang.
(If one leaves the group, his/her knowledge, by law, will be ‘sealed’.)
The Gong Bang only create items only for ‘One who is worthy’,
And this law is often applied even to Zahard and the 10 Families.

Generally, a Regular who has climbed more Floors has a better chance of receiving a higher quality item.
(And Rankers by their Rankings)

5. Relationship between Gong Bang and the Floor Rulers

The Gong Bang exists in the middle area of each Floor,
And from there, they perform the role of providing items to people.
However, they are not ruled by the Ruler,
And the Ruler cannot touch the Gong Bang’s laws and regulations.

One time, an administrator ignored these rules and created a commotion with the Gong Bang.
He was humiliated by a Teacher who happened to be there,
And when the news reached the Ruler of the Floor,
The Ruler came to the Gong Bang directly and asked for forgiveness from the Teacher.

And so, the Gong Bang exists completely outside the governance of the Tower’s Rulers,
And their combat power is also not to be taken lightly.

One may think that this kind of existence may threaten the power and balance of the Tower’s Rulers, but this is not the case.
This is because the Gong Bang have ‘absolutely no interest’ in the Tower’s power struggles and politics.


One of Macseth's children is Flux/Magician, he's one of the three lords of the Tower. Here's a little update about him:

3. Magician/Flux
The Lord who is called a Magician.
He is Macseth's first disciple, and is considered one of the Fathers of Gong Bang.
Like all other "Fathers" of Gong Bang, Magician is also one of Macseth's "Artificial Lifeforms".
However, no one has seen his true form,
And his artificial personal images pop up in the Tower occasionally.

The 4 Children and Magician are separate.
Magician received the title of "Father", but he is not one of the Great Teachers.
Because Magician holds one of the Lord's seats,
Although he is one of the Fathers of Gong Bang, it can be seen that he is out of the group.
Overall, you can view him as equal or slightly above the 4 Children.

More basic info from Northerncolors @mf

Spear Bearer and Wave Master

A proper Spear Keeper could throw a spear tens of kilometers away, with the support of Lighthouse. Lighthouse has a feature which can adjust and guide the trajectory of the spear.

Wave Master does not mean someone who can manipulate Shinsoo. (This ability is almost a requirement to become a Ranker) It just refers to the position which takes part in battle using Shinsu. There are extremely few people who are a “Wave Master” in this sense.
The highest figure for Shinsoo ever recorded was handled by Enryu. Shinsoo exceeding 9000 Bang was recorded by a Lighthouse during his/her battle.

Shinsoo resistance and Shinsoo physical strengthening are natural abilities and has nothing to do with the contract with the Administrator of the Floor.

Names Info (including Rachel, Koon and the 13 Month series)

While the girl’s name is written as Lahel in Korean, her actual English name is Rachel. The author admitted that he borrowed the name Rachel from the bible (written as Lahel in the Korean bible).


Koon’s correct English name should be Kun Aguero Agnis. The author admitted that he borrowed his name from Sergio Aguero (Sergio Leonel "Kun" Agüero del Castillo), the football player.


The names of Black March and other 13 Month Series are engraved on them in Japanese. This is because their creator, Ashul Edwaru uses a language that is based on Japanese. The author made it clear that there is no significance behind this, as Chinese, Arabic and other languages are also used throughout this manhwa.

Zahard Princesses

- The strongest princesses are Adori Zahard, the owner of Golden November, and En Zahard, the owner of Colorless December. En Zahard is currently sealed. Both of them are top 10 high rankers.


- Anak is older than Androssi, despite Androssi being her “aunt”.


- Ha Family is blessed with the greatest Shinsoo physical strengthening power in the Tower, thanks to the contract with the Administrator. This explains Yuri’s ridiculous strength.


- Zahard Family does not officially have a Prince.

T.U.S. universe setting

The author pronounces it as “Tales User Story” in Korean, but has written it as Talse Uzer Story on the top of every chapter. Confusing.

Anyway T.U.S. is a universe under the premise that “The world comprises of several tales as its center, and these tales persist as unchangeable records.” It forms the basis for author’s works such as TOG, Carnival, :Comic:, etc.

Once written, a tale from T.U.S. universe cannot be set back or restored to previous state. Hence the past becomes permanently fixed, which in turn restrict future events. It’s a universe that rejects the existing hypothesis that the world holds infinite possibility.

Items/Weapons

A-grade items are extremely rare in the Tower, so even Rankers can’t lay their hands on them so easily. Only High Rankers possess multiple A-grade items. Black March is a B-grade weapon that turns A-grade after activation.

Colossal Blue Spear (Mentioned in season 1, chapter 41) is a B-grade (after activation) javelin owned by Eduan Kun (Kun’s father). There are currently 11 of them. After activation, it is said to wipe everything off its path. This is yet to be confirmed, as Eduan has never thrown them yet.

Vagneel (Also mentioned in season 1, chapter 41) is a javelin that is shot like an arrow. B-grade after activation.

Carrier (Also mentioned in season 1, chapter 41) is a combination of 3 types of inventory, pocket, lighthouse and coffin. Only 10 were ever made. They allow an Angler to take every position. Although not really practical, it is still an attractive item. 3 of them are A-grade, while the rest are B-grade. Adori Zahard also uses Carrier.

And now who do you think is SIU's favourite character? :derp
Yes, the author’s favorite character in TOG is Rachel, as of 2011/01/24 :amuse

Information on the Axis/Exis, the driving forces in the TUS Universe:

Axis User is a person with power to influence the “tale”. They are the greatest variable that determines the future. They are named as such because their ability is invoked with the user as an axis. Apart from this fact, their abilities do not hold almost any similarity with each other. Non-Axis User is unable to interfere in any way. They are also known as the Axis/Axes.

Axis/Exis are those who leave an unchangeable record, or a god-like power that can lead and change history. Those who isn't an Axis/Exis cannot interfere with an Axis/Exis. (So even Enryu and Zahard cannot kill Phantaminum) Axis/Exis creates their own space and therefore keeps expanding (T/N: Poorly written text. It did not say what was expanding). For example, nobody in Tower of God (Part of TUS universe) can beat an Axis/Exis. It appears that it isn't a matter of strong or weak, as a weak Axis/Exis is still an Axis/Exis. Axis/Exis isn't an innate ability, it must be awakened - and depending on the strength of their abilities, they may even go berserk/out of control during the awakening. There appear to be different types of Axis/Exis (Striker, Observer), as well as classes among them. (Though it remains unclear whether this would still apply, as this is an old setting) Those with the strongest Axis/Exis power are called the 'king. Some of the known Axis/Exis are King of Conquest, Phoenix King (인조 could also mean Man-made/Artificial... You can't tell, without Chinese characters), Savior King, and many more characters in 'TUS' and 'Give me back my planet Earth!', as well as Phantaminum in 'Tower of God'.

Tu Perie Tperie is the head of the Tu Perie Family. The first Light Bearer of the Tower, no one knows how he came to be that position. Whenever he reminisces about the time he became a Light Bearer, he’s known to have said “The Heavens gave me the Eyes of God”. However, it could be possible people chose to believe a “well-fabricated story” rather than a “solid truth”.

After the Great Journey (TN: Zahard and the 10 conquering the tower), he is one of the most active Family Heads, and along with the Blacksmiths, and created many items. He is also the founder of the system in which the Light Bearer acts as the intermediary for all communications within a team. The most famous of his creations is the ‘Opera’ Lighthouse, one of the greatest Lighthouses of the tower

No real need to add it Sha, it's already in the front post because another guy already translated the parts about the high rankers. These are just "The Company's" translations.

Thanks for posting it though :)

Information about Robert Aisand (Deputy director of Office of Ranker/Ranking Management)

Robert Aisand is a deputy director of Office of Ranker/Ranking Management (T/N: SIU mixes up the word Ranker/Ranking. In this article, 'Ranker' was used.). He isn't a Ranker, even though Tommi, the director, included him in the Ranking for fun.

It has been said that Urek Mazino, who wasn't happy with the fact that his Ranking was lower than that of Phantaminum, threatened Aisand to raise his Ranking. When Urek asked "Have you ever seen me fight Phantaminum?", Aisend replied "You'll be the loser" without hesitation. Since then, Urek has been teased in the Wing Tree by being called Urek Loserno, Loserek Mazino, Uloser Mental Majinot Line (T/N: The French pronunciation of Majinot is the same as Mazino).

Not going to add everything because we already have some of the stuff here but everyone who enjoys ToG a lot should check out Godai's Blog.

Some really interesting information by a reliable fan of the series. There's a lot of text but it's definitely worth reading :nod

---------- Post added July 22, 2012 at 06:03 PM ---------- Previous post was June 30, 2012 at 09:36 PM ----------

Some pretty interesting things:


Robert Aisand

Robert Aisand

  • Sobriquet: Cold Wave
  • Age: ???
  • Height: 1m 95cm (195cm)
  • Birthplace: ???
  • Position: ??? (GoDai: Sobriquet suggests Wave Wielder)
  • Ranking: ?

The deputy director of the "Ranker Administration Office" (랭커 관리국, Raengkeo Gwahnligook; or "Ranker Affairs Bureau"), which is one of the groups with the most influence in the Tower. (For your information, the director is Tommi.) He is a man hidden behind veils - so unknown that even Jahad does not know any of the details of his birth. Thanks to his outstanding and precise ability to handle matters and his silent personality, he is also known by the nickname "Robot Aisand." (At some time, there was a widespread rumour that he was an office-use cyborg created at the Workshop/Gongbang, but this was "officially" denied by the Workshop.) Tommi actually calls him by the nickname "Aisan."

As the very first person put into the position by Tommi after Zahard chose Tommi to set up the Ranker Administration Office, Aisand is a man with outstanding ability in handling matters, precise decision-making skills, and charisma. He is the opposite of Tommi, whose actions seem to say "Screw charisma, handling matters, and decision-making." Aisand is always working silently in place of Tommi, who always goes around to play.

Although strictly speaking Aisand is not a Ranker, but he possesses an authority equal to that of a Ranker because he was recruited by the Administration Office. Usually, the work carried out at the Administration Office is the administration and adjustment of High Rankers. You could say that, in a way, he is the person who has the most important authority in the Tower.

Because he has never climbed the Tower, it is impossible to know how much battle power he has; seeing how he himself said "I have never fought since the day I was born," it seems that he only has the battle power of an average person.

However, despite this, he never cowers, even before High Rankers - It is said that there are many cases in which he overwhelms them instead. (GoDai: Charisma Level: Badass)

For example, there was a time when Urek Majino, who had a complaint about his rank being lower than Pentaminum's, broke into the Ranker Administration Office, captured Aisand, and threatened him to raise his rank. To Urek, who asked "Have you ever seen me fight Pentaminum?" Aisand answered briefly and without hesitation "You will become a loser." Urek Majino, shocked, could do nothing but go home bitterly.

After that, Urek Majino was teased and called names such as Urek Loser-no, Loser-rek Majino, U-Loser Mental Majino-seon within the Wingtree, and it is said that it was of such a scale that things such as comic books and humour books that retold this incident were published, sold, and became popular. (Baekryun powerfully asserted that these comics would have a great effect in depression treatment.)

Aisand's trademark is his long silver hair that reaches down to the ends of his feet; overall, this goes well with his masculine appearance that has a pronounced figure, and gives off a peculiar feeling. He also does not have a small presence, so when together with the short Tommi, they could even appear to be father and son.

In reality, opinions on Aisand's rankng are divided. However, the majority argues that, ignoring battle ability and purely based on influence, he can compete with FUG or the heads of the 10 Great Families.

As stated earlier, Aisand is not a Ranker so he should normally not be included in the rankings, but due to Tommi's powerful mischievousness (?) he came to be included in the rankings. One day, Tommi sent a message asking Aisand about what ranking Aisand would give to himself if he could score himself, and Aisand replied to him with ? (GoDai: Number not given), which Tommi literally put in the rankings.

(For your information, Tommi is not included in the rankings.)

From 인물도감 ? - 로버트 아이샌드 by SIU, from hidden blog.

Talk between Anak and Androthy after Baam was "killed":

1. After Yisoo and Kun left the room to talk, Anak Jahad and Andorthy Jahad were spending a time of silence. Although Andorthy was always bound to create friction between herself and others just like a dry matchstick would, tonight she seemed weak and drained as if she had been soaked by rain.

"... Why did you decide to go with us?" Anak reluctantly said to Andorthy.

Andorthy, lying on the bed sideways, glanced at Anak and said, "Not sure.."

"... If you go with me your position of Princess of Jahad may be at risk. You still want to go even though you know that?"

As Anak continuously asked questions, Andorthy answered slowly, staring at the ceiling for a long time. She then dumbfounded Anak by asking a strange question.

"Lizard, during those years you were separated from your mother.. Where were you?"

(GoDai: The Korean word for "lizard" is 도마뱀, Doh-mah-baem. Korean names are usually 3 syllables also, so Andorthy calls Anak 마뱀, Mah-baem, as if her family name was 도, Do. It would be similar to calling her Liza or Zard instead of Lizard.)

".. What?"

"Tell me, where is this place that not even the losers from the Palace can't find. I want to go and live there later."

"...."

This time, Anak was the one taking her time to answer. Anak, making a serious face that wasn't like her, thought, then opened her mouth as if she had made a decision.

"The 43rd floor."

"!!"

Upon hearing Anak's words, Andorthy's pupils moved here and there, shaking rapidly. From the lights on the ceiling, to the edge where the ceiling and the wall met, then to the simply-patterned wallpaper, finally to Anak Jahad.

Not even blinking her eyes blinded by the afterimage of the light, Andorthy asked Anak.

"The 43rd floor!? The place where Enryu appeared?"

"Yeah."

"Isn't that place the floor of death, where there is no Administrator? How did you..?"

(GoDai: Of course, by Administrator I mean Guardian. Just going with my preferred translation.)

Anak sat up and steadied her breath. Would it be okay to tell this story to Andorthy. Wouldn't she be sharing her own misfortune with a young princess who had a bright future ahead of her. Complicated thoughts dug into her head.

However, nothing could be done about it now. The girl before her seemed so dry that she needed to be set on fire.

(GoDai: The expression here is comparing curiosity to dryness and information to fire.)

So, Anak decided to throw her just a little ember.

"Garam Jahad. She was there."

From 2. by SIU, from hidden blog.

Yeon Hana (Head of the Yeon Clan):

Yeon Hana

  • Sobriquet: Cichlid
  • Age: ???
  • Height: 1m 69cm (169cm)
  • Birthplace: ???
  • Position: Fisherman, Wave Wielder
  • Ranking: 17

The Family Head known to be the most beautiful among the 10 Family Heads. Although she is the Family Head of the Yeon Family, in fact there is not a single child in the Yeon Family who has received her blood. All children of the Yeon Family are the sons and daughters of "Ilarde (godmother)," who is an old fellow family member (gwonsok;) of Hana, and Yeon Hana herself is a virgin who has never embraced a man.

(GoDai: The term used here for "family member" has various meanings. It can mean "member of household" as in "Member of the Household of God" - Religious groups calling themselves family, even if not family by blood. Same with "the children/brood of darkness" and "fraternity/sorority" - This term can refer to literal family or people that consider each other to be family.)

Although she is sometimes suspected to be a misandrist (men-hater) due to this reason, she actually has a gentle personality (which is very rare among the 10 Family Heads) that treats both men and women kindly. According to a rumor, she could not forget a man whom she broke up with a long time ago, and so made a contract with the Administrator (Guardian) to become a "Female that cannot feel love towards the opposite sex."

(GoDai: Can she be a lesbian then?)

Although she has a gentle personality, according to the 10 Family Heads, she is "the most scary woman when angry." It is said that when angered once, she surpassed Ha Yurin, who was famous for having a terrible personality, but this is impossible to confirm in the current time in which the 10 Family Heads are not active in public.

Her fellow family member Ilarde gives birth to and raises her children in her stead, so the children of the Yeon Family all call her "godmother." Once every 5 years, Ilarde selects (seonbyeol; "choose") a man to sleep with her, and it is said that Rankers from all over the Tower gather for a chance to become that man. Ilarde's eyes for choosing men are very "cold" so unless one is a decent male Ranker, it is difficult to even get past the paper document interview. Selected males live in the palace for 5 years, and only one of these men will receive the right to sleep with Ilarde, and if a child is born, they attain the glory of being accepted into the Family.

Like the Ha Family, the Yeon Family is a thoroughly matriarchal (mother-centered) family, so males can take central roles in neither the main house or the branch house of the Family. Thanks to this, the females of the Yeon Family, especially those of the main house, have a tendency to look down on men.

(GoDai: Is it just me or does this article have more sexual terms than the entirety of the Tower of God series combined)

Info about 7th Slayer:
Baylord Yama

Bayroad is basically the name of a hidden place where pit fights occur.
They don't actually fight using real dogs, but they call those that fight there "pit bulls/dogs"
It's called Bayroad because this arena looks like a road where pit bull/dogs bark (This is two sentences combined into one. Some aspects were lost. Wait for a full one from other people o.o)

One specialty about Bayroad is the shape of its arena.
It's basically a long strip of road where the dogs from each side fight each other to death.
They can't run away, as a field of sword/knifes await them on their sides.

These pit bulls/dogs are made through combining bloods ( a forbidden act in the Tower).
You basically inject "something" powerful into a fetus.
(Not many know this practice. Because this is a forbidden act, those who know this went missing or was killed.)

Those children (most die from side effects) are raised as "eye candies" for those who visit the pit cage.

Baylord Yama was one of these children and the strongest pit bull/dog in history.
In the pit cage, he was the reaper who took his opponent's lives, so in respect they gave him the nickname, Yama (King of the dead).
Afterward, he killed his keeper and became the first pit bull/dog to climb the tower after successfully escaping from Bayroad.

Not much is known about how he climbed the Tower.
There are rumours that another slayer, Imort/Emort/something like that, helped him.

After becoming a ranker, he went back to the pit cage, and killed the owner to become the new one. He also became a slayer then.
(People guess that his final condition to become a slayer was to suppress the Bayroad.)

It is rumored that with the cash from Bayroad, he's building numerous secret nightlife facilities, further increasing his influence.
However, he hasn't been seen since after becoming a slayer.

(Will be edited in in the future)
(Again, not a full translation. Also, I didn't check my wordings and grammar, so there may be parts where you go "what is this guy saying?")

Good news! GoDai, translator of TheCompany, got acces to SIU's blog and wrote a full translation of Barlord Yama's profile: :onoz

About the term 'Imort' on this profile, GoDai wrote in a later post:

I wasn't sure how it should be spelled. Like what you said there, I did think it sounded similar to the origins of the English word "Immortal" but in Korean, it was written "이모르트" and not "임모르트," which implies one "m" sound ("Immortal" is often read "임모탈" in Korean pronunciation, implying two "m" sounds).
Not sure overall. Whenever SIU introduces a term, I usually try searching up guesses of how the word may be written in English a thousand different times... "Reflejo" surprisingly took a long time to derive from "리플레조" because searches kept giving me "Ripley" for the "리플레" part. Thank goodness we're not calling him Ripleyjo.
"Imorte" will probably end up being "Immorte" but seeing how SIU wrote "Baylord Yama" in English for us, he'll probably write Imorte's name in English when he writes up his profile. When that happens, I'll change the spelling accordingly.

It could also be a variation of the name of a soccer player. Happens often, eh?
Gizmos from Batoto found this possibility: Karsten Imort last played in Wilhelmshaven team, a german player (http://www.transfermarkt.com/en/karsten-imort/transfers/spieler_8373_564068.html)

The whole profiel is very interesting, but this GoDai's note was particularly intriguing and highly possible, to me:
I must say this "Blood Fusion" sounds an awful lot like how Zahard's Princesses obtain their powers.

Not from the blog, but from his twitter, (translation by Ramdon-Webtoon Fan from Batoto):

'I will piggyback whoever does a Rak cosplay'

'Maybe I should make a voice for Rak contest'

'I am eating a watermelon for 2 weeks'

'I never got sick from eating some food went bad'

'I remember a doctor askin me what I am when all my family went to hospital but me for eating mushrooms'

'Maybe they should make a monthly update option for webtoons'

'If tog were monthly updated, it would've taken 10 years to get here. I don't think I would be able to do that.'

P.S. Someone is gonna make a little Rak doll. Which would be huggable.

SIU says he is making ToG mug cups for an event (Not for sale). He is considering drawing Parakwel on it.

SIU mentions something about people asking him to tweet in English, but he is unable to. He would like to though, but thinks 5 years would pass before he would be good at English.
I kind of like that he thinks he wouldn't be able to spend 10 years writing ToG. Another One Piece would be too much for me.

Not from the blog, but from his twitter, (translation by Ramdon-Webtoon Fan from Batoto):

I think he meant that if tog was updated monthly, it would have taken around 10 years to get to where we are right now in the story because there's 147 chapters in total and 12 months in a year . :p

Also, i just wanted to remind everyone that it's going to be the 3 year anniversary of Tower of God in 2 days. :celebrate
