Hymot pulled Damian toward the closet and made a sign for him to stay quiet. He did not quite understand what was happening — Damian heard nothing strange, but he trusted her despite that. After a few seconds, a bizarre creature stood on the house's door, looking inside to see if there was anyone. Damian glanced through the closet's gap and saw it! 'What the fuck is that thing?' he thought, staring at what looked like a floating undead with a black robe. He held his breath, Hymot did the same,…-

The bridge was massive, just like everything else in that place. It made sense considering dragons lived there, and not tiny humans. It took Damian and Hymot one-hour walking to reach one of the many city gates. Of course, they weren't walking fast to have the time to look out for danger and not misstep, but still, it was a pretty long bridge. There was no life around the area; at least, they did not see it. But Damian was still entirely focused on his surroundings; as Hymot said, that was a trial,…

The most gorgeous woman Damian would ever see? That was a bold claim considering how many beauties he had seen and had yet to see, but the knowledge caught Damian's attention! It was a valuable thing any person trying to explore would want. Maybe the dragon knew almost all portals? There was no way of telling, but Damian was sure of one thing, he would not let that opportunity miss. "What do I need to do?" Damian asked. "I have no idea how's the trial, but I need to go with you, and inside, you can…

The vampire spilled it out, afraid Damian's sword would kill him. All Damian needed was a little pressure to break the vampire. "What do you know about this place? Also, how did you leave if this is a dragon's lair?" Damian asked as they flew in the direction the man said. "T-The dragon was asleep, that's why. But the portal was there, I am certain of it! I saw it from afar!" Damian analyzed the vampire's body language and how he spoke to spot any lies. 'He's telling the truth.' "But who are you,…

The conversation with the aristocratic man ended with Damian getting information regarding the tenth floor. It became his goal, a place he wanted to visit and see with his eyes. But doing that would require skill, time, and, more importantly, leaving the Skyfall Tower; there were still a few days. So Damian returned to his regular training, mastering a few spells like the Life Drain he wanted, and a summoning one, a winged horse called Nightmare. Two spells in that short period weren't bad. Damian…

The last words spoken by Radagak were emblematic, and Damian stood there, trying to make some sense of what he was saying. It did not work. Damian glanced at the youth who had helped him, and the man instantly froze, afraid Damian would make him his new target. "Thanks for the help. I will let you go this time, but if you try something..." "No, absolutely no! I will stay put like an obedient rat!" "Good. I will go to the next level first; you can wait here. Then you go after around 20 minutes to…

Radagak and all the others who had betrayed Damian were happily exploring the tunnel that led to the underwater city. They never thought Damian would return, and the only thing inside their minds was to be the first to reach the next tower level. Once the underwater city was before their eyes, and Radagak noticed there were no other humans, meaning they were the first ones to arrive there, he couldn't help but smile, just like all the others, who were joyfully looking around the city. "We are the…

The underwater city was vivid, with mermaids, tritons, and small sea beasts everywhere. It was a magical place, something Damian never thought he would find. Most impressive was that a few mermaids and tritons explored other tower levels. Not all levels, a few only, and the only ones who could do that were the high-ranked, like Kaia, the daughter of the triton king. But still, Damian thought that all living things were trapped inside their respective levels, but that was not true. "That's our sacred lake…

Damian was still dazy as they arrived in the underwater city, and he only saw glimpses of what was happening. But he noticed the mermaids and tritons walking using legs inside the city! The city had a bubble around it, making it so that the water from the ocean did not enter the city, making it look like a city on the land despite being underwater. "What happened? Who is he?" "A human I found badly hurt. I think other humans attacked him," the blond mermaid carrying Damian said. "Bring him in; I will…

The first level of the Skyfall Tower went fast, but the second one? Damian and his crew sailed for three days following Radagak's ship. That land was farther than expected, and the idea of being fooled crossed Damian's mind, but it shouldn't be possible because the ships only went in a straight line. It was not like they were sailing in circles; at least, it did not look like it from Damian's perspective, but maybe Radagak was fooling him somehow. Damian wanted to go there and question him, but it was…
