Climbing the Tower to Be a God With 10x Gacha System

James began to walk through this dark area. There were maybe a dozen lights around him, twinkling as if they were stars. He seemed to both know and not know where he was at the same time, constantly turning round and round in a confused state, trying to make sense of things.

"This is what we have to do, for our future, this is all there is to it."

James suddenly heard this unfamiliar voice and then turned in the direction from which it had come. The light, shining like a star, turned into two people and began to repeat as if it were a memory.

Trying to reduce the brightness with his hands, James began to try to understand who the voice was coming from and who the voice was talking to.

"What the fuck?" James said suddenly, knowing very clearly who he was seeing.

"What do you mean this is the way it has to be, don't you realise that if you make this deal with me, more than half of your soul will be mine?"

When the other of the voices spoke, James realised who it was and then shook his head and fell to the ground in a daze.

Just then he heard a voice coming from behind him:

"I brought you here but I didn't expect you to adapt so quickly, the memories seem to have officially opened their doors to you."

"It's been a while since I've seen you, Tower," James said and then pointed to the memory with his hand as if he was wondering what was going on.

When the tower saw this sign, he said, "This is a memory star, it shows the conversation between your ancestor and me. Memory stars are quite hard to find, of course, since I am the tower itself, it is not a difficult thing for me to obtain, but you know what I mean."

James frowned when he heard these words and then shouted "YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY!!!"

The tower's self shook its head when it heard these words and then replied, "I realise, I was just trying to relieve the stress on you. This memory is based on an event that occurred when your ancestor sold almost 60% of his soul to me in an offer."

The tower itself seemed to be quite normally upset for the mental health of James, who was standing in front of it. Of course, he knew that James wouldn't go and go mad because of his Mind Palace ability, he could just see that James' psychology was not going in a good direction.

"Tell me...how much more am I going to see, the sacrifices he made? I'm being weighed down by things I don't even know what's going on, how much further do I have to go with little information?" James muttered, and with that, the tower began to speak again:

"I will not tell you what happened, my promise prevents it, even if I am the tower itself, according to the rules set by Chaos, the promise of life cannot be broken, I will die as a result. Nevertheless, I will give you two options by this promise and by the agreement."

After these words from the tower, James nodded his head and said "Let's get this over with." with the smile of the tower's self, the options were presented to him:

"The first option is to get you off this floor, I agree to save a few people with you, and I release Desmond's soul as his bloodline member wishes."

James swallowed and then asked, "Or?" thinking he would accept what he had just heard outright.

"Or, young Black, I will come to the floor with my true self, destroy the great beast, but take exactly 100 random status points from you. After all, the agreement itself requires me to save his future replacement three times. Since I've already done this twice, this could be the third time. Assuming I get nothing from you the second time I save your life, 100 status points will seem like nothing for hundreds of millions of lives."

When the tower finished, James paused for a few seconds and then said, "I don't care, you can get even 1000 status points, not 100. Just...Just don't let them die, any of them. They are family."

The tower itself seemed surprised to hear this answer. Desmond might have been the most selfish person in the tower's eyes. Desmond was a being who only wanted to raise people to the upper echelon of beings, of course, this was in the eyes of the tower.

It took Desmond tens of thousands of years to lose this selfishness, which is why this deal is happening now.

James, on the other hand, had never been selfish since he had entered the tower, or rather, he had never attempted anything but petty rhetoric.

Although he was not going to go far from his status points, it was known that even among the gods and goddesses, there were not many who would accept this offer as quickly as he did.

She would certainly be the most perfect being to have come from the Black lineage, even if she was one of the weakest.

"Are you sure? If you agree to leave here with the people of your choice, you will have the right to ask me for one more favour, I mean literally anything, I can even give you 100 Godly skills. Remember, first the ownership of the 36th floor, then the Healing of the Blood Lord ability I gave you on the 37th floor, and now this. Choose carefully." the tower suddenly said, and with that James' voice was heard again:

"I'm sure."

With that, the tower's embodied self smiled and then moved towards James and touched him squarely on the forehead.

Everything around him vanished instantly, and when James opened his eyes again in reality, he realised that only a few seconds had passed. He could see with his own eyes that fearful eyes were watching him, but...he didn't seem to be himself. His body wasn't moving the way he wanted it to.

"Sir...are you all right?" asked Alissa, the twins' sister.

James had stood up and started to walk after her, and by the time the others started to move out of his way, James was already at the edge of the window and suddenly jumped out of the window and took off into the air.

James was well aware of what was happening, even if no one else could understand what was happening. The tower was controlling James.

James could see his body moving at hyperspeed. He was now many times faster than both Selene and Chao.

In just five minutes he had travelled back the way they had come, having spent a day on Chao's back, and he saw Selene beginning to fight the beast.

When Selene realised the huge energy coming towards her, she turned to where it was coming from and saw James. Read exclusive content at empire

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! GET OUT OF HERE! I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT!!!" shouted Selene.

Selene had been careless, she shouldn't have tried to speak, when the beast's eye glowed with golden light, the beam that immediately came towards Selene was visible to the naked eye.

James's body had moved at that moment. Even if Selene had tried to protect herself, it was too late, she would have to take a blow with her body.

It was not to be expected though, Selene had only closed and opened her eyes once when she realised that she was already in James's embrace.

It didn't take her long to realise that it wasn't James.

"Who the hell are you?" Selene questioned but got no answer.

The energy emanating from James's body began to carry Selene as if she were a baby and placed her behind James in a position where she could be protected.

James only raised his finger.

An unbelievably huge, gigantic, enormous energy began to gather in James's finger. The monster, which was more than a hundred metres in size, was liable to do anything, it seemed to be locked.

Even if the monster was trying to move its own body, there was nothing it could do. Dozens of settlements had already been destroyed at the hands of this monster, and perhaps more than a hundred thousand lives had been lost.

Nevertheless, everything would end at this moment.

The energy in the index finger of James' left hand was suddenly released.

A beam of light, perhaps forty metres in size, travelled from the earth to the sky where the monster's body was, and in the blink of an eye, the main body of the monster was gone.

When the remaining body parts of the monster fell to the earth, an earthquake effect occurred. The tower controlling James' body snapped its finger once, and after the incredibly loud sound wave that came out, the remaining body parts disappeared.

In just a little over five minutes, perhaps one of the most destructive monsters in the history of the tower had simply died.

Neither Miracle the baby Supreme Dragon, nor Ruby the Holy Phoenix, nor Selene, one of the greatest of goddesses, had to do anything.

This was the power of Chaos' masterpiece, the tower.
