|Song Min-Gyu POV|
I open my eyes and sit down before looking around the room. Where am I? Huh?.
I get down from the bed and look around the room I'm currently in. This is not my room! Where am I?!?
Just as I was about to get out of the room, my head filled with memory—a memory of not my own.
This body is called Song Min-Gyu, the son of a well-known CEO. He has a handsome face and a 'kind' personality that make him adored by many people. While he is kind on the outside, he is not on the inside.
Inside, Song Min-Gyu is a sadistic bastard. At the age of twenty, he already had a headcount in his name. He already killed ten young females that he r*ape, torture, and killed. The police once suspect him to be the one killing all those young women, but because of his father's connection and many people vouching for him, the police list out his name from any suspect in their investigation.
However, what makes things worse, I know who Song Min-Gyu is. He is the first 'villain' in the web novel I like to read. The web novel is called Tower of Heaven. The body I'm currently in is the one that betrays the protagonist, and when the protagonist comes back from the future, he holds a grudge against this body.
This novel is about a massive tower that appears around the world. As this tower appears around the world, many people receive a unique power. Those people are called the Hunter.
The tower is filled with monsters, and there are at least one hundred floors inside the tower. When the tower appears in the world, many monsters will be released into the world and start killing many humans.
What makes things worse, the monster is immune to mundane weapons. The only thing that can hurt them is magic imbued weapons either coming from the tower loot or coming from the Moonlight World.
That is another thing this world has. Another side of the world that many people did know existed. This world is called Moonlight world.
There is a sign of when those towers will appear. A monster will appear around the location of where the tower will soon appear. While the tower gives people the power to fight the monster that comes from the tower, it is also filled with traps and strong monsters.
There are less than five groups that successfully clear out a tower, and they are called the Hero Party. A group of people that are strong enough, smart enough, and cunning enough to conquer the tower.
Because of this, the world started to change. The world becomes a jungle where the strong rule the world and the weak die on the ground. Some big countries still maintain peace because their leader of the moonlight decides to step up and maintain the peace.
Asia has three heavenly kings. The China Emperor, Korean Emperor, and Japanese Emperor. Those are the kings that maintain their country's peace by deploying their army of magicians to defeat the demon.
"Dammit!"
Now I did not know what to do. In the book, the protagonist will arrive in the past just one year before Judgement day, as many people called it, and then begin to collect many types of magical items.
I want to take those items myself to protect myself. However, I did not want to hinder the protagonist. Urgh. Decision. Decision. You know what? I don't know if the protagonist is willing to save me, and I did not want to depend on the protagonist.
I nod my head and stand up from the ground. My first destination, Marado. The southernmost point in Korea. Buried inside the ground is a fruit. However, this fruit is not an ordinary fruit. This fruit is called the Qi Fruit.
While Qi is inside all living beings, not many people can awaken it. There are a few ways to awaken your Qi. The easiest is to let the other implant their Qi inside your body. The second one is to let your Qi awaken themselves by a suicidal training method. Lastly and the most difficult method is to eat the Qi fruit.
The reason why it is the hardest method? Qi fruit is considered an extinct fruit, and they are mostly right. There are only five Qi fruits in the world. One in Korea, One in China, One in Japan, One in Romania, and the last one is in France.
The book did not explain why the fruit is in Romania and France, but they are in those countries.
An awakened Qi will provide the user a boost in their strength and durability. Not only that, but their Qi will also grow with them the more they use it. The newly awakened Qi user will have the power of three adult humans.
The most powerful Qi user can clear out the tower floor with ease.
If I get that fruit, I will be good for now. I look at the calendar and see that today is 27 May 2008. Meaning that the protagonist will get back to the past in two years, and Judgement day will happen in three years.
I need to get this fruit quickly. I can become a decent Qi user before the time the protagonist appears.

Akagawa Yuka POV|
"Lady Amaterasu! Show us your brilliance!"
I fire a massive fireball toward Tanaka-kun. However, before my spell could reach him, Tanaka-kun dodges my attack. I know that I'm the one asking him to spar with me, but I never thought that our power had this much of a gap.
"Yuka, you need to shorten your chant."
"If I do that, the power behind my spell will decrease."
"That is the point. Sacrifice power for numbers. You did not need a powerful spell to attack a nimble enemy. You need numbers and speed. If you cannot keep up with your enemy speed, overwhelm them with numbers. If you can outrun them, exhaust them."
I nod my head and begin to cast a chantless spell. I create a small fireball and fire it toward him. When I see him dodge my attack, I quickly create a massive pillar made of stone and almost hit his stomach.
"Good! Predict where your enemy will go and attack."
After saying that, Tanaka-kun took out his bow and arrow before firing them toward me. I barely dodge the first arrow. I look at the arrow and frown a little when I see that the arrow can create a small crater on the ground.
Just how powerful is he? That shot can destroy a normal human skull with ease, and I have a feeling that he is still holding back somehow.
I snap from my thoughts when my danger sense screams at me. I jump to the left and see an arrow fly past me. After dodging the attack, I fired a spear of lightning at Tanaka, and before he could jump away, I let the earth grow from beneath him and held his feet on the ground.
Seeing her unable to move, Tanaka-kun fires his arrow toward my spear of lightning, and I can see his arrow pierce through the spell.
I frown a little and know that this will be a long fight.
