Chapter 199: Heaven’s Great Tower Raid. Part 1

An hour ago.

Viktor was trying to remember all the strategies he made to complete the tower. He was all prepared to go and start his journey and then, a new event suddenly occurred in the future. At first, he thought that some god would be trying to stop him but when he looked at his record, he was shocked.

The tower along the territory of Kobayashi’s was gone. Instead, there was nothing but space in the middle of the realm of gods which was not supposed to exist.

He tried to look through the cause of that unnatural occurrence and suddenly, he came across a tanned man installing something at the tower entrance. He wasn’t a part of the gods’ realm. His aura, his behaviour and his perfection were telling that he was someone outside the realm. He looked closer and then saw a time crest on its chest which triggered some future memories of his.

He was a primordial being, related to the void and he was trying to destroy the tower to stop some mega events related to it. He wasn’t trying to destroy it because Viktor was going to raid it. It was trying to destroy it because it took so many powerful gods like. It was something that shouldn’t exist in heaven.

Viktor knew that he had to stop him or else Kobayasi would manslaughter everyone from his family. So he quickly went to the tower to stop Aion from destroying the tower and make him see some new sets of future different from what he had seen.

Aion was surprised so he had no choice but to trust Viktor and leave the realm of gods. He told Viktor that he would come back after he completed the tower and give him the other piece of his pendant.

This is where Viktor’s future builds up a wall to stop him from seeing some restricted information. He wasn’t worthy enough to see them.

So he entered the tower in order to get the other piece of Aion’s pendant and open the locked part of his future.

"I understand it all, but why is this area completely blank? Is this the first trail of the tower?"

Viktor looked around after he entered through the door but it was completely empty. He wasn’t even sure whether he was standing on something or not.

At that moment, he saw a person coming towards him. He wasn’t human for sure because he had cat ears on his head. So he assumed that it must be a person from the cat tribe. He also assumed that the person might be an administrator of the tower, approaching Viktor to welcome him.

**Greetings, brave challenger. I am Kiki, the tower administrator. I will guide you to the first floor. But before that, I will explain the basics.

Every participant’s divine Qi would be restricted to level 1.

They have to clear a floor to lift the restrictions on his core. Also, every participant will be given rewards if they clear each floor in a limited time. Of course, you will be stuck here if you don’t clear the final floor. Do you have any questions?**

Viktor raised his hand and spoke without any hesitation. "Are there any other participants here?"

**There is, but the tower only allows solo raids.**

’So the information I received from Kobayashi is wrong. Others can also enter but the tower sends them to different places like game servers. Even if thousands of participants are here, we won’t be able to see eachother. Isn’t this good news? I’m glad that I didn’t have to lie to Adonis back then. Or else, he’d grab my legs and never let go until I allowed him to tag along.’

Viktor then looked at the cat man wearing a black and white getup. He looked like a royal butler with so much pride in his heart. He was so prideful that his eyes were cleanly telling Viktor that he was looking down on him. He wasn’t even counting Viktor as a demigod.

Viktor then said, "Please guide me to the first floor. I would like to start the trail as soon as possible."

**Very well. Please step onto the stab.**

A magical transparent slab appeared closer to Viktor’s feet. He took his first step on it and quickly took the second one because the stab started to move. It was taking him somewhere but Viktor couldn’t see his surroundings. It was blurry for some reason.

’Is it trying to protect something’s privacy? This blurry-looking wall is actually a barrier, not some wall of a room or a path. I wonder what mystery this tower hides.’

After travelling for 10 minutes straight, Viktor reached a door. The cat man again appeared and said,

**This is the door to the first floor. The moment you enter through the door, all of your skills will be restricted to level 1. You must choose a weapon and your class before going inside the room. Please pick up a weapon that synchronizes with your skill.**

’Ah, I feel like I’ve come inside a tower RPG game. This is just like the game I used to play back in my home and had Adonis worry about my ill lifestyle. Now I have to choose a weapon and challenge the 1st floor. But the weapons here don’t suit my taste at all. Where is my scythe-_-?’

Viktor looked at Kiki and asked, "Um, can I ask for another weapon? Looks like the weapon collection does not hold my choice of weapon."

Kiki was a little irritated but still, he kept his expression solid and asked respectfully, **What kind of weapon do you want to use?**

"A scythe..."

**The tower doesn’t allow cheat weapons, you have to choose one from the collection**

"How scythe is a cheat weapon-_-?"

**That’s how the tower sees. It doesn’t allow anything outside of its selected objects. The participant also won’t be able to use any dimension box or pocket. The tower will provide its inventory box. You must say ’open inventory’ to activate the function authorized by the tower.**

’Here goes my chest skill.... But will the tower provide a different inventory box? This is nothing less than a game. The god of dungeons must be very fond of games.’

Viktor sighed and said, "Well then, I will choose a magic stab, my class will be a mage class."

**I highly recommend you, a fellow participant, use a longsword. Your body is perfectly built for using sword skills.**

"Nah, I don’t want to move that much. It’s bothersome-_-."

**Pardon?**

"I said, using a sword is bothersome. It will require too much physical strength since my skills will be restricted to level 1. I’d rather use magic attacks by standing in a corner."

The administrator was speechless to hear his suggestion. He then said, **Very well then. I will now open the gate.**

’All right then, let’s see how fast I can complete my 1st floor by using more than 200 strategies.’

Adonis’s POV:

Adonis stared at his master’s back and slowly it vanished inside the tower. He wanted to go in as well but he was left with so many duties and responsibilities. Moreover, Yir was standing in front of him, waiting to get his approval of becoming his servant.

He wasn’t happy but since his master agreed, he had no choice but to accept Yir as his servant. He was also a little disappointed because he thought Yir would become Viktor’s servant and aid him.

Adonis then said, "You know very well that I am also a servant, don’t you?"

"Yes, I do."

"Then why did you choose to become my servant instead of him? I am not kind, perfect and responsible enough to become someone’s lord."

"I do respect Lord Viktor as a great demigod. But you have the opposite core than mine. I would like to taste the bitterness of pure evil. I’ve grown tired of this kind, of pure holy life and started to realize that something is not right. So I would like to surrender in front of you, the pure evil, the demigod of destruction. Of course, Lord Viktor will become my great Lord and I will serve him beside you as one."

"That’s some big excuse you got there. But since you are willing to serve my master beside me, I won’t stop you. So, let’s make a master-servant contract."

"I will be grateful to offer my hand to you." Yir knelt in front of him and raised his right hand to Adonis. Adonis took his offer and used a servant spell on his hand. He then used a drop of blood and used it to complete the progress.

He then said, "I, Adonis North will accept Yir as my first servant. Aid me to serve my master, Viktor E. North faithfully as I order you to do."

"I, Yir Petrichor, an archangel, swear upon my life that I will follow my master, Adonis North faithfully and carry out my duty as a servant and serve the great lord Viktor E. North."

The servant created became permanent on his hand. His consciousness became connected with Adonis and then, he felt the odd sensation.

"Is this the power of pure evilness? I’ve always hated evil because I thought they were destructive and merciless. If I knew the true beauty of evil, I’d never accompany Elesis and aid him to destroy evil."

"You don’t have to regret your past acts. Past is past, don’t let it affect your present and your future. I am sure that’s what my master will advise you."

"You are a great lord’s servant, I wonder what kind of sensation you feel from him. Now I am envious because his core is much stronger than yours."

"Too late, now let’s go. We have to enter the swamp dungeon at 10."

"Yes, my lord. I will follow you even if you walk down the stairs to hell."

"That’s too extreme..."
