As the rays of dawn squeezed through the narrow gap between the blinds of Arthur's room, the man's eyelids fluttered open. As light flooded into his cornea, he rubbed his eyes before sliding off the bed. As he stood up, Arthur clicked his tongue. He'd remembered a distasteful moment. However, ignoring the faint remnant of memory he still retained, Arthur headed towards the shower. Once he'd freshened up, the crimson-eyed man slipped into one of the black tightsuits before grabbing Skofnung and…-

The battlefield was akin to a wasteland. Corpses were piled in all directions, and the squalid scent of rotting flesh wandered aimlessly across the area. "Sir, the general area is practically abandoned," a polite yet hurried voice resounded across the bloodied battlefield, addressing a figure higher ranked than himself. "It seemed the Ganghan Guild didn't leave anything behind after their battle with the Fwelsh Clan." "They certainly razed part of the 18th floor to the ground…" A figure…

Where had Harry's confidence gone? When Arthur first met Harry during his former life, the man was a fairly confident, wise man in his thirties. He was a fair leader, and one of the greatest men Arthur met at the time. Although, his strength was not significant. However, despite his lack of strength, Harry led Stars Of Tomorrow into prosperity, solidifying their name in the mid-rank clan range. Such a man would have never feared biting off more than he could chew. He was confident, and even…

The night passed in an instant. As dawn approached, Arthur, Randy, Dino, Harry, and Jenny met up outside the hotel in casual attire. Since the training would begin tomorrow, the group wished to explore the Tutorial World as much as possible. They would never be able to return to the world beneath the Outer District. Exploring was only beneficial, considering their time in the Tutorial World would revolve around training and preparing for the second trial once the dawn of tomorrow shone upon them.…

'It's a pretty basic room,' thought Arthur, entering the room which his card opened the door to. It was as large as a one-bedroom apartment, and contained a hall, a medium-size bedroom, a tiny bathroom with a toilet and a shower, and a kitchen separated from the hall by a thin wall. Groceries were somehow stuffed into the refrigerator. Towels were kept near the laundry, while appropriate clothing was kept in the closets. The hotel provided perfect living conditions for someone like Arthur, whose job…

Ten newbies remained out of the one hundred that participated in the first trial. The expressions on the faces of Jenny and Harry were of disappointment, while Randy, Dino, and Arthur were somewhat exhausted. A pool of blood encompassed the wasteland that gradually reverted to its original temperature. Burns were evident on the skins of the survivors, some of whom were shared shitless despite having survived through the massacre. Their faces were pale without a shred of blood running across them.…

'I knew this wasn't a regular sword,' thought Arthur, inspecting the falchion with much interest. The blade seemed dull, yet could produce such precise and destructive strikes. Also, the sword sliced through the air pressure without mana consumption to quicken the process. It was an amazing sword. Also, as it was stained with blood, it suffered a slight change. 'No,' thought Arthur. 'I allow it.' 'Ascertain,' thought Arthur, gazing at Skofnung. As Arthur…

The expressions of the spectators distorted, and Randy's expression brightened. Dracolius remained expressionless, while Arthur stood with a glistening smile plastered over his face. He seemed to be struggling to suppress his excitement. It was possible. He had discovered a way to pass the mana test without the need to use mana. 'Putting that in my auto-biography in the future,' Arthur thought, letting out a chuckle while thinking about the future. However, what he ignored was the matter at hand, and…

"Oh, did I mention that those who fail to destroy the orb will be killed automatically? You have an hour to complete the objective, otherwise you will fail to move on. Those who die will be replaced with more newbies during the first trial." Dracolius's words were clear, and reminded the newbies of the horrors of Heaven's Spire. It had been a few minutes, perhaps an hour since they entered, and they were already being threatened with death. But this would eventually be an every-day occurrence.…

At that moment, a message from the Tower Administration appeared before the eyes of every newbie. [One of the Guardians of the Tutorial World will soon appear in Hallway #128. He will be conducting a trial, in which the Administration will measure the capabilities of the newest subjects of the tower. The Tutorial will continue from there. Remember, things aren't always as they seem.] Following the message, the expressions of the newbies changed drastically. Some were glad that the…
