"I am… Death."
The silence that followed that statement almost whistled loudly in the air. Most of them already had their attention on the two when the pale female god approached Riley, but with those words coming out of Riley's mouth, everyone's eyes were now practically fixated on them.
They did not really know how to react — and why would they? They were not the ones Riley was talking to. And in the first place, they were all aware of who the woman was.
She was one of the previous champions of the tower, and was known for eyeing out for newbies and trying to rile them up; something even provoking them so they would be eliminated from the competition. After all, any acts of unwanted violence on the floor they were in warrants immediate expulsion from the tower, most newbies usually won't know that.
The Jester Goddess, Marleen.
