MTLNOVEL Chapter 105: New Mission
Even so, this brought him to level 35, which was quite an achievement considering that he had been level 12 when he entered.
It had been a good week of hunting, during which his strength had increased dramatically.
Laura ignored the boss and ran to help Louis.
"Are you okay? Your HP..."
"Haha..." He laughed a little awkwardly, but happily. "It's down by over a thousand points, but nothing to worry about. It was my fault that the last hit hit me because I was so careless."
She helped him up and gave him a potion.
"The good thing is that with this, we're already on Floor 20. We've practically reached the floor where I am, since I haven't managed to get past Floor 21 yet." She smiled.
Somehow, she felt a little proud.
She had seen Louis arrive at the Academy with no idea about magic, and now she was seeing him on the 20th floor of this dangerous place with incredible ease.
Even though he hadn't done it through magical merit, but through sheer force, it was still incredible to see someone grow so quickly.
He was only 16 years old. Seven years younger than her, but from what she had just seen, he was already stronger than her.
He was a one-in-a-million talent.
The fact that he was her teammate right now was something she would be grateful for her entire life, perhaps. If he continued to grow in the future, she had no doubt that he would become someone as great as the Lord of Habsburg, or even greater.
Louis nodded and looked toward the back of the room. Since the Boss died, he had noticed a sound like water rushing at high speed and hitting rock.
Where was it coming from? What was causing it?
Looking up, he frowned.
"A river?" he asked, curious.
Laura then looked where he was looking and suddenly smiled.
"It's the Ancient River! The Boss was in the room where it runs. Come on, let's go. We rarely get the chance to see it on these floors." She helped him run toward the river, and after more than 400 meters, almost at the end of the room, a huge stream ran underneath.
Above, there was a bridge to cross to the other side, which was 13 meters long.
It was quite large, as the river was about 12 meters wide at this point.
As soon as she arrived, she spoke: "Although it looks big here, the truth is that this is a miniature version of what you see on the 20th floor. There, it is up to 25 kilometers wide, and according to sources, on the 50th floor, there is a section that is more than 90 kilometers wide. It is a magnificent river, and everything is like that," she praised it.
The water flowing through was crystal clear. You could see the stones and earth below, the fish, and all kinds of things.
It stretched for 200 meters in this area before disappearing.
Where did it disappear? In the same way it appeared: into a rock.
It was as if it had come out of the rock and gone into another rock. Its natural course was not affected.
That was amazing.
Now, Louis noticed something much more striking, which is why he stared at it for a long time.
"It's a perfect place to create Water Runes," he said suddenly.
Laura was surprised that he had figured it out so easily, but she smiled after remembering that he could see the threads.
"Yes. I learned how to make Water Runes on the 10th floor with Professor Hardrial. It's also very good there, but it's better on the 20th floor. It's bigger, and there are more Specialized Threads."
He nodded. He could see many threads in the river, traveling at high speeds downstream, but they did not end.
They were endless.
Seeing that amount of endless threads intertwining with each other and forming patterns made him wonder: How great would it be to see the river on the 20th floor? Or on the 50th floor?
What would it be like to find the source of the river? What creates it?
There were so many questions in his head that an intense desire to discover the answers rose up in his heart.

[New Chain Mission Issued]
[Climb the Red Sun Tower, delve into its mysteries, and understand its secrets!]
| Last Mission Improved x 10.
| Climb the Red Sun Tower to Floor 10... [NOT AWARDED.]
| Climb the Red Sun Tower to the 20th floor and get 300 System Coins.
| Climb the Red Sun Tower to the 30th floor and get 500 System Coins.
| Climb the Red Sun Tower to the 50th floor and get 1,000 System Coins.
[Greatness comes with Levels, and Levels come with the Hunt. He who becomes God understands this fact and does not stray from it. The world waits to be at your feet; do not betray your ideals.]
Louis stared at the mission for more than two full minutes without reacting. To Laura, he seemed to be admiring the river.
But the reality was different.
He was observing the mission with an intense feeling of stupidity in his mind.
He had completely forgotten that he could create the missions, that it wasn't the System that gave them to him, but his desires that created them.
And because of that, he had lost an important reward.
Even so, when he realized that the mission indicated a reward for reaching Floor 20, he smiled with joy.
'Great! I still have 30 Stat Points left.'
Considering that he had earned them on a floor he had practically "already reached," it was glorious, as they were practically 30 free points.
But seeing a second chain mission pleasantly surprised him.
He already had two chain missions pending. If he added up the total earnings he would get at Level 100 and after reaching Floor 50 of the Tower, it would be 3,300 coins and 330 stat points.
That's not counting the 110 he had already received for reaching Level 10 and Level 25.
It was too much money and too many stats.
He didn't want to waste any more time. He wanted that reward.
He looked up happily and nodded. "Let's go to Floor 20," he said.
