I had used a Silencer to make sure no one could hear me. Only those who were high-leveled or rich enough to buy a Counter Item would be exempt from its effects. The only issue was that there wasn’t supposed to be anyone of the sort still lingering in the Entrance Area rather than adventuring the upper parts of the Tower. I didn’t expect anyone to have heard me, but here was this guy. His body seemed perfect, and his smile was charming. The white hair, crimson eyes, and beautiful skin made it seem…-

‘I’m pretty sure I stood these guys up. Shouldn’t that have given them the hint that I want nothing to do with them again…?’ I glared from behind my mask and saw nothing but human baggage trying to get closer to me. “Did you really conquer the Tower Of War yourself?” “You’re really amazing!” “I can’t believe we had the privilege of witnessing you in action.” “You are the Hoarder, right?” Multiple questions were thrown at me as I stared at them. Not only were these guys…

“Are you ready?” Paul was already done on his end. With him was a small backpack—a special item—that allowed him to store way more than its size indicated. His inventory was also chock-full of Items and very useful tools. In short, he was well-prepared for the travails that lay ahead. The question he asked was directed at his partner who was already walking toward him. One would think they were siblings since they both had crimson eyes and white hair. She too was carrying a backpack similar…

“Haa… looks like I took too long while resting.” Rising from my bed, I jumped to my feet while stretching every muscle of my body. Nothing ached, nothing was stiff… I was feeling perfectly refreshed. “Good! LEADERBOARD.” A System Window appeared in front of me and I observed what it displayed. As usual, I was in first place—having a total of 71 Achievement Points. The second position was still held by Pariah. He remained at 31 Points, thankfully. That meant he hadn’t conquered the…

There were four Towers erected for the first scenario. The Tower Of Death. The Tower Of War The Tower Of Lack The Tower Of Conquerors These were dubbed after the Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse, each having 99 Floors as well as a Hidden Floor that housed their respective Horseman. Conquering the Towers was the preoccupation of Gifteds at this point. The rewards they received from ascending each Level, as well as the EXP obtained, were essential in defeating the enemies that would surface in a few…

>SHUUUUUU!!!< A swirling pool of light enveloped a dark area, and then two beings emerged from the portal. Their silhouettes were accentuated by the brimming bluish glow of the portal behind them. One of the two resembled an adult male, ad the other was a young girl. Soon, the portal vanished, and the two were left in the silent, dark room—all alone. “Keukk!!” The man knelt abruptly, gripping his chest tightly as he made an agonizing sound. “Paul!” The girl cried out, quickly kneeling by…

Torrents of thoughts flowed in my mind as I looked at the System Window displayed in front of me. ‘What the hell…?’ Why? How? Who? It didn’t make any sense. The average Level for the current denizens of the world was 50. The strong ones were about to reach Level 100, but I didn’t expect anyone to have attained Level 150 talkless of 200. The Levels and Grades of the monsters climbed as one advanced through the Floors, and since the Towers had similar difficulty, I expected others to receive…

“Oho?!” I beamed, marveling at the System Window. My achievements were nothing to scoff at, so it was clear that I would be rewarded handsomely. Still, who would have thought I would receive a Grand Prize? “Alright! Let’s see what I’ve got!” ********** In short, I received both the reward of the 99th Floor and this Hidden one. The Gear and Soul of Helios could not be retrieved by the System, so I was given additional Karma Points. As for the other rewards gotten from the 99th Floor, I…

The transformation was drastic—no, monstrous. From the pale, nearly human form that Death had, he changed to the most grotesque physique. Now standing, about sixty meters in height, his body was covered in black scales and six horns emerged from his head. Purple glows warbled all around it, and it had three tails. Why three tails? I had no idea. In short, it looked like a bizarre dragon and was coated with dense evil energy. Compared to it, I might as well have been an ant. I saw that most of his…

“NOW!” I instantly released the Pale Rider from , welcoming him with the flurry of attacks waiting to bombard him. Since I could edit whatever was within , I made sure to spit him out without any gear. He was just a naked, pale being. It seemed like his body was coated in purple flame-like energy which exuded a vast amount of negative pressure. Still, he wasn’t as tall as before. The being called Death was just a bit taller than I was, having a bald head and gleaming purple eyes. ‘So, this is…
