"Rose, this is Hope, Hope, this is Rose" I began to introduce Rose to the new systems.
"Hello, sir hope" Rose greeted with cold eyes, "Hi" Hope replied with a grin while the other four nodded while they greeted.
"Rose, I gave Hope many tasks but not everything, I want you to begin implementing the idea in the game, the third closed beta will begin within 2 months and after that, there will be a few months before we release the game… the only way to gain a system in the game will be through the tavern, The Adventurer Guild!" I looked at Rose while explaining.
"Yes, master!" Rose became serious, Hope grin turned into a serious face while the other 4 smiled. "I want you all to be part of the game, do not allow them to become stronger merely because they have money, do not give them power through completing several quests, do not allow them to kill monsters easily… this is a game now but later…"
[Warning…]
『Explain it to them, everything』
I smiled, "The truth why I made you all and kept using the term 'Invasion' is…" I kept explaining for hours, their faces changed and then some showed killing intent while the others felt motivated. My creations aren't just lifeless robots, they are created to be real.
"Understood, when will you create the first tower?" Rose asked, "Now, follow me all of you". Leaving the house I began to walk with my stained outfit, "Everyone gather!" I shouted as I moved to the far east of the island, reaching an empty land, I waited for everyone to gather.
After everyone gathered, some were shocked by the 5 new people but after they felt pressure from them, they kept a distance. "Ace, what's going on?" Emma asked worried as she stood next to me.
『Do not explain anything to them』
"Emma, I can't say anything now but you will get your answers later," I said to Emma while my face was serious.
'Open Inventory'
Taking out the large white ball, I heard the core speak "Master, should I spawn the tower here?". I smiled "Your name is Beginner Tower Core now, Also I want you to spawn a tower capable of training and not preventing people from reaching the top, 100 floors, each floor will contain different types of monsters, each 5 stages will be a boss fight and only 4 people are allowed to enter, no less and no more."
"Yes, Master" BTC Spoke as he vanished from my hand and light from the sky hit the land in front of us. The sand floated and the water around the island floated in the sky and pierced into the light, forming a tall tower, a large glass tower began to form from the ground to the sky.
[Congratulations, Beginner Tower Core has formed a training tower x1]
I smiled and turned to look at everyone, "This will be a training place for you guys, I want you all to improve by forming a team of 4 before entering this place. Age of 13 and above are allowed, workers are also allowed"
Thinking for a bit I opened the shop. The grades shocked me when I looked at it but Anima explained it fast.
『Grade 1-9 is something your senior created, grade 1-4 is mortal, 4-6 legendary, 7-9 is demi-god』
"What about god level?"
『Unknown, no one survived that long』
Heh, looking at the list I smiled.

Light gathered Near the tower and Orcs appeared first covered in leather by waist only, Dragonborns spawned behind them as 10 feet tall wearing a helmet with 1 horn and plate armor. Skeletons began leaving the ground without weapons or anything.
Where is the Ogre, "ROAR!" A large figure fell from the sky into the sea. Splash! The water spread everywhere but then went calm after the Ogre left the water, twice as big as the Dragonborns, naked and 1 eyed.
"Boss!" All monsters shouted as they kneeled, the skeletons rattled alone and kneeled. "You may rise, I hope you guys will help out my companions in training themselves inside the tower"
"Yes Boss!" they nodded, "Master, we have an issue" Rose came from behind and said. "What kind of issue?" I was confused. "Food issue, Master" Rose sighed as she looked at everyone.
"Ahh! Get some cargo planes to bring food everyday, while at it choose a location and build a garden, I want it to have every plant in this world, also for the training of my people", I stopped and began looking at everyone who were happy and excited, "Let them have fun but immediately make them begin playing the game to train themselves further and do the tower once they reach the requirements."
"Yes, Master" Rose nodded and walked to the server room. "Hope, scan the world several times and find the strongest within, I will be leaving to meet them soon"
"Ok Master!" Hope saluted with a smile before running as a child back to the workshop followed by the other 4.
"Ace, you are leaving?" Emma looked sad, I smiled and patted her on the head "I will be back before the game launch, we will get married 1 day earlier".
Emma looked happy and nodded before leaving with the kids, Kate, Johnson, and Isoc stayed behind. "Thank you for everything you have given me and my son" Kate bowed as tears flowed down her eyes. I walked towards her and waited for her to raise her head, "Do not thank me, never bow in front of anyone including me Kate".
"Sorry, I…" I stopped her while shaking my head "You are a mother, you should raise your head always, your son is watching every second of your life… be happy ok?" I smiled as I patted her head and Rolph head.
"Ok, thank you again" She smiled and left followed by Isoc who seemed happy. Johnson stayed behind, "Ace, if you are leaving can I come with you?" Johnson looked serious, he heard what I said to Hope huh… "What will you do next?" I said with a grin.
"Meet my family, final meeting" Johnson said in a cold voice. I smiled, "3 days and we will leave", Johnson left walking slowly, for some reason I can see an aura of fire around him, seems like one of my choices was right.
"Hephaestus" I said with a smile, a man with a beard appeared next to me, "Master", Without giving a look I said "Teach him everything you know, you should know that any name holds power beyond human control, I created you to become one with him… teach him well".
Fire burned next to me before disappearing. "Asura, come out" The sky was torn and Asura slowly fell down into the water, no splash, no explosion, "Kuku" Asura larger than the tower, watching everyone on the island shocked by his appearance, "Train the soldiers until I come back, do not kill any of them". Asura Smiled "Kuku, KAKA! Soldiers come here!"
"Zeus, come out and follow me" I began walking as Zeus appeared floating while following me, we went back to the basement, Hope had his eyes closed before opening it when I entered.
"Master, here is the list hehe" Hope threw a stack of papers at me but I took the papers while it was flying to me before reading it fast and throwing it in my inventory.

Hmm, this might be bad, "BTC, can you hear me?" I closed my eyes and called for the tower core. "Master" Good, I can talk to my companions within this room, "Can my companions gain gold from your monsters?".
"Yes, Master" BTC Replied, "Tax them 15% each time they earn something and save it up until I take it."
I smiled and looked at Hope "Remind, Rose to allow every soldier and guard to enter the tower". Hope smiled and nodded.
