Chapter 77: Entering The Holy Tower part 2
Ibro felt a headache from this. He just wanted to keep himself here till the cooldown period of Dronil's ability then he would leave. Now there was such a holy invitation in front of him.
He didn't know anything about this tower. Dronil also knew nothing. Ibro looked at this endless towering building on which top was hidden behind thick clouds. How long is this tower exactly?
"Can you tell me some information about this tower supreme commander?"
"Sure, but you should know my name now. My name is Noreda.
This tower was built eras before the beginning of our empire. We built our empire around it. Throughout our history, the tower holy soul played a crucial rule in guiding us and helping our people to get stronger. Here, you can come by an invitation.
You can come as many times as you got selected. So we have a ranking system back in our capital. This ranking system we call the glorious stele.
Anyone who got his name on this stele is considered as an outstanding person in our empire. Being here is your life most proud moment. When you come for the first time you get promoted to army leader position.
When you come here twice you get promoted to supreme leader position. When you come here three times you get promoted to the holy son position.
When you come here four times you get promoted to the emperor position. Throughout our empire, there are no more than three holy sons and one emperor, but we have a lot of supreme commanders and army leaders.
Your visit here isn't just to promote you or to award you, but it's a great opportunity for you. This tower as you can see has no end. When you enter it you will replace yourself on the ground floor.
You need to kill the monsters on this floor. After you finish this task you will move to the next level. You can wait there for as long as you want then move to the next floor.
There you won't get tired, never feels hunger or sleep. All you need to do is to reach your highest floor. "
"What happens when I reach my limit?"
"When you reach your limit you can ask for the test to end. After that, there will an assessment from the soul of the tower to your whole performance.
She will highlight your major weakness and will grant you an opportunity to fix it a little. If you did excellently then she will choose one of your best abilities and increases it.
On some rare occasions, she will add a more mysterious gift that we know nothing about. All you need to remember there is to strive for your highest floor and try to do your utmost best."
"That seems interesting."
Ibro felt interested in this tower. He wanted to try these big empires' heritage and understand how far is the gap between a baby universe like his and these strong ancient ones.
He was moving forward following Noreda's footsteps till they reached this group of people. They didn't speak with Ibro but spoke with Noreda in a whisper tone that Ibro couldn't hear at all.
After their silent talk, Noreda pointed to Ibro to enter the tower. Ibro didn't know what these old people were talking about, but he didn't care. He wanted to try this tower and see how high he could reach.
The tower floor had only a small door that hardly fit Ibro. He felt this door was tailored specifically for him. When he passed the tower he heard a sweet female voice saying:
"Welcome to the holy tower Adventurer. Tell me your name."
Ibro felt his heart shudder from shock! He muttered involuntarily:
"You are a game system?"
"Have you got in touch with a game system before young adventurer?"
Ibro got over his shock but he was still surprised. This surprise was unexpected to him. He said in cautious tone:
"I did madam."
"Tell me the name of your game system."
Ibro felt weird. He only knew the game as a Rioneed game.
He knew it was the name that was given to it by Pnro. He hesitated but Dronil interfered as he said:
"Say your game true name. This opportunity is priceless. Don't waste it."
Ibro felt weird. Before he entered here he asked him if he knew anything about this place but he said he didn't. Now, he was telling him how precious this opportunity was.
'Do you know this tech?'
'Nope.'
Ibro felt speechless. He then asked in confusion:
'If you don't know this tech then how do you know the value of this opportunity of dealing with it?'
'Because I tried to get some info about it but I was blocked. Actually I felt tiny in front of it.
If it wanted to kill me I couldn't defend myself. You must use this opportunity well. Try to be respectful; I'm sure its level is far beyond our comprehension.'
Ibro felt weird. How could there be such a high-level tech? None the less he answered in sincerity trusting Dronil judgment:
"The name of my game is Rioneed."
"Analyzing the name. There is no such name in the database. Adventurer didn't come from the past not he is from the present. Adventurer came from the future, am I right?"
Ibro again hesitated, but for the second time in a row Dronil said:
'Answer it with sincerity.'
Ibro heaved a deep sigh then he answered:
"Yes, I was teleported to the distant past and then I moved from there to here. So technically speaking I'm from the future and the past."
"That's interesting. Then tell me your name?"
"My name is Ibro."
"Listen to my words Ibro and choose carefully. As you are a unique existence then you have two choices in front of you. The first one is to enter this regular tower-like anyone before you and try to reach the top.
The second option is to skip this introductory phase and head towards the real tower. What will you choose Adventurer Ibro?"
Ibro felt weird. If he wanted the best then he should choose the second choice. If he wanted to play it safe then he would choose the first one. He hesitated, and Dronil kept his mouth shut this time.
"Can I know what will I face in the second tower?"
"Sure adventurer Ibro. As you guessed before, I'm a game system. Or you can say I'm a system that is trying to be a complete and upgrade to the next level.
To do so I needed to gather any missing aspect of the tech world that I don't have. So I fractioned myself in the different universes and established many towers like this one.
The goal of this tower is to search for unique individuals. If I replace someone like you, then I will move him to the next level, which is the real me.
Usually, participants like you in this first phase have no right to know about my second phase. But as I see you worthy, I'm telling you now about these facts."
Ibro thought for a bit.
"What I understood from your words is that you are trying to raise your power as a tech. so you needed to add many things to your data and system, right?"
"That's right adventurer Ibro."
"Good, then please tell me what will I face in your second phase?"
"I will analyze your memories and experiences. From these, I will choose some parts that I miss and then formulate a template for you to play."
"You mean I will play in your edited game?"
"Exactly. But don't worry; I know you are in a hurry to return to your time so I will set the time difference between here and the game to be really huge.
If you lived in this game for your entire life, not a single moment will pass here in the real world."
